1t is difficult to understand why
farmers should be in such haste to
market their wheat with prices almost
the lowest on record. 1t is tru that
the conditions for marketing have
been unexampled. The finest of wealth
er has prevailed, but with short and
infrequent periods of storm, ever since
harvest. and farmers have learned to
take advantage of fine weather
and consequent good roads to
haul their grain to market. But, v
considering that, it is impossible to
understand why the farmers should
deliver during the first three months
of the year more wheat out Of a $780,
600, 600 bushel crop, at low prices,
than they delivered last year out of a
612, 600, 900 bushel crop at high prices.
Last years movement was a
normal one. The hold-your-wheat
circulars had little effect. Dispute
them more than the usual proportion
of the crop was delivered in the first
few months. The primary market re-
ceipts in July, August and September
1891 were IS per cent Of the entire
years receipts. In 1890 and 1889 only
81 per cent of the entire years move
ment occurred in the first quarter.
This year, before four months are
ended. the farmers have sold fully
half of their surplus wheat, and they
have sold it at almost the lowest prices
on record.
There had been a heavy export
movement-the largest ever known
prior to last year. In three months
fully one third of the exportable sur
plus crop has gone out of the country.
But despite the large sales for ex-
port, wheat has accumulated at
the centers at a rate never
known before. The stocks of
wheat at the principal centers are as
follows: New York, IA, 500, 900 bushels;
Chicago. 10, 900, 900; st. Louis. $780,
900; Duluth, 5000, 900; Minneapolis,
$500, 900; Toledo, 1000. 900; Baltimore,
1000, 900; Kansas City, 1000, 900.

TOPEKA, Kas., Oct 27.-Fifty-eight
Kansas undertakers are to be arrested
to-day and tomorrow for violating
the United States antitrust law, war
rants having been issued last night for
the members of the Undertaker's asso-
citation on the charge that they con-
spired to control prices and prevent
competition.
The fight is being made by J. M.
Knight, assisted by the undertakers of
Leavenworth and Atchison, the only
towns of Importance in the state where
the trust is not in control.

FARMERS HAVE SOLD HALF
THEIR SUPPLIES ALREADY
SOMETHING BEFORE UNHEARD OF.
The Primary Market Receipts Since July
1 tho Largest on Record Very
Large Stocks of Wheat Every
Observation-Disclosures at Market
Centers Filling Up ut an
Unprecedented Rate.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-For four months
American farmers have been selling
wheat at a rate that has astounded
the world. The receipts at all primary
markets have been so great that if
they do not let up Don the channels
of trade will be literally blocked and
railroads will have to stop hauling
grain from sheer force of neces-
sity. Storehouses everywhere are full
or are filling up rapidly and supplies
at market centers are piling up at an
unprecede.. ted rate. In this city
there are 1000 loaded grain cars
and there no place to unload them.
The wish supply" 10Y amounts to
almost 60 90. 600 bushels, and there
is little doubt that it will reach
70, 600, 600 bushels before the ac-
emulation ceases.
The crop of wheat this year is as
sumed to be nearly 100, 600, 600 bushels
less than last years crop. Yet since
July l the receipts of wheat at pri-
mary markets have been 20, 600, 600
bushels more than in the correspond
ing time last year. The record of re-
ceipts in bushels for the first sixteen
weeks of the crop year in 1891, 1890
and in the big year of 1886 is as fol-
lows:

BEARING HIS SORROW WELL.

President Harrison More Composed, But
still Sorely Stricken.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The president
was more composed to-day than yes
terday. He is reasonably calm though
deeply grief stricken. Private Secre-
tary Halford consulted him for a short
time during the morning about the de-
tails of the arrangements here and in
Indianapolis and he made suggestions
with reference to them, though his
words were broken with sobs which
he could not suppress try as he might.
The body of Mrs. Harrison rested
this morning in the in which she
died, but this afternoon it was tender
ly carried to the east roOm where the
funeral, will be held. The emaciated
features and form tell all too plainly
of the wasting illness of eight
months that reduced the large
matronly figure to a thin, frail form.
But the face in death has the
same kindly expression that it had in
life and the appearance is natural, for
there are no lines of suffering visible.
She looks as if her last moments had
been full of peace and her expression
suggests that she was tired and had
gently dropped asleep. Mrs. Mckee
superintendent the preparation of the
remains for burial and communicated
the wishes of the family to the under
taker.
There has been no official recogni-
ton by the executive branch of the
government of Mrs. Harrison's death,
and there will be none except the dis
play at half mast of flags on the gov
eminent buildings. The departments
will open to-morrow-the day of the
funeral-the same as on other days,
and by the wishes of the family the
business of the government will run
on as though the chief magistrate had
not lost the wife of many years.
A meeting of the cabinet officers was
held this morning at the state depart
ment to determine whether all of the
cabinet should go to Indianapolis. It
member remain here. Secretary Tracy
will be the only member who will not
go. Secretary Charles Foster, who is
absent from the city. will join the
party in indianapolis. Mrs. Miller,
wife of the attorney general and Mrs.
Harrison's most intimate friend in
Washington, will accompany the
party.
ROME, Oct. 27-The pope was deep
ly interested in the illness of Mrs.
Harrison and expressed much SYM
pathy for her in her sufferings. When
the gravity of the malady, was de-
clared he sent to her the apostolic
benediction and was very much
grieved when he vas informed of her
death.
DALLAS, Tex, Oct 26.-The follow
ing was transmitted to President Har-
rison last night:
Whereas, We the undersigned Con-
federate veterans of the Transmississippi
department, assembled in reunion at Dal-
las this 25th day of October, 1892, have re-
ceived the melancholy news of Mrs. Har-
rison's death, the wife of the president of
the United States; therefore,
Resolved. That our sympathy be ex-
tended to the family in their bereavement
and declare Mrs. Harrison not only a warm
Christian woman but q true American
woman.
