CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka q rain and stock Ex-
change. 526 Kansas Avenue.
Wheat-It was a more interesting day
in wheat than usual, and while huctua-
tions were not broad vet there was Il
keenness for price changes that has not
been manifested for some time The
news was badly mixed, but the bull
seemed to possess what advantage there
was, something he is badly in need
of. At tho opening there was
some selling on reported break
ing of the drouth in Nebraska and scat
tered rains in the winter wheat section.
On this the price of December got down
TO 5e1<, thereafter taking an opposite
course on political complications abroad.
The advices from London told of the
gravity of the situation, and from this
the shorts took their cue, as Veil as the
investors, and the result was a sharp
bulge. 1t might turn out 10 be of the
soda water variety, as such advances
made no news of this character are not
lasting.
1t was about the only paramount infiu-
ence in the market, all other news, es
pecially home news, was not calculated
TO grow enthusiastic over. The north
west had another big run this morning,
overlapping the receipts of last year.
First cables were at decline, but
later on from Liverpool were greatly
improved and showed an advance of
lid. Exports of wheat and flour fair at
$4,000 bushels. Price Current said no
particular change in general situation
and that drouth retarding seeding oper-
atoms At the close European securities
of all descriptions were said to be de-
clining rapidly, English consols were off
a couple of points which in a great
measure went far to bear out the cables
from London telling of prospective trou-
BILE
Corn-In corn prospects were held
steady partly in sympathy with wheat
and partly on its own account. An idea
prevails that present prices will no.
bring rush of corn to market. Shorts
are not inclined to sell and prefer to wait
for a rally TO sell on.
Provisions-There was a weak open
ing in hog products on another big run
of hogs at the yards and lower prices
Provisions want to be bought on every
little break. For tomorrow $4,000 hogs
are expected.

PROSPECT FOR QUAIL SHOOTING.
Plenty of Birds, But the Covor is Too
Heavy.

Heavy.
The long looked for rain which started
in yesterday was hailed with delight by
the local sportsmen who have been anx-
iously awaiting suitable weather for a
quail hunt.
So far this season it has been too dry
for dog to work satisfactorily, and few
hunters have ventured out in pursuit of
bobwhite.
Notwithstanding the cover is still very
heavy, quails are so plentiful this season
that with little moisture in the ground
sportsmen should be able to secure fair
bags, provided, of course, they can OBJ
tain permission to shoot where there is
tuita BILE cover.
1t is not often one meets farmer, who,
when asked for the privilege in gen
tlemanly manner, will not permit
sonable mum Der of birds to be shot his
place. 1t is against the unprincipled
hunters who have no regard for his
rights, not the true sportsman, that the
farmer justly protests.
