Chicago Change.


 Chicago. Oct 12-'rhe wheat speculator scarcely knew whether he was standing on his head or on his feet today so quick and furious were the vibrations in the price. The ultimate result in the trading was a moderate loss to values, but that slightly represented the loss to the scalper, who was badly whipsawed from start to finish. De- cember wheat opened from CO.'S to 6O4c, sold between 6l@ and 601ac. closing at the latter. s4@Ac under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady, but closed easy.
 Corn moved along in the same old rut. without undue excitement or furry. BuSi- ness was dull, and what few orders were executed indicated nothing new in the posi- ton of the grain. May corn opened at 29q 29isc, sold between 29H and DC. closing at 29bc, shade higher than yesterday. Cash corn was unchanged but firm.
 Oats-Speculation was dead in oats. Some people professed to believe that slight de- cline from present prices would unearth lib- eral buying orders, but the prevailing low quotations are regarded bar to any further depreciation. May oats closed un- changed from yesterday. Cash oats were steady.
 Provisions-The heavy receipts of hogs are cited as the reason for the inactivity in products. The hog cholera scare through the west accounts for the rushing forward of animals. Under these conditions speciIla- tion held aloof. At the close today January pork was 7@7l2c higher, January lard and ribs each 2lac higher.
 Tho domestic markets were quiet and un- changed.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

LECTURE ON C0MTE.
Prof. Lester f. Ward Describes the
PHILOSOPHER md His PhilOsophy.

Prof. Lester f. Ward Describes the
Philosopher and His Philosophy.
The third Saturday lecture at the Ma
tional Museum was an address by Prof.
Lester F. Ward on "Auguste Comte, the
Founder of Sociology" The introduction
was quickly outlined biography of Comte,
showing his association with st. Simons
and the mutual influence Of each on the
other. The separation of the two was
because of a difference as to method
Comte believing the people could be reach
ed and gradually effected. The term posi-
tive philosophy, Prof. Ward said, might
have originated with St. Simons, but it
was Comte who wrought it out in defined
terms and made it susceptible of inculca
ton. Comics first work was an essay
called "A Philosophc Consideration of
Science and Scientific Men, published in
1925. The strain of delivering seventy-two
lectures consecutivey In Paris as synop-
sis of his philosophy caused Comte to lose
his mind for time.
Prof. Ward spoke of the various works
embraced in the exposition of Comics
philosophy, and quoted extensively from
opinions by such men as John Stuart Mill
as to the soundness of its principles and
it's future influence on the world. Comte
never regarded the works written as other
than a preparation for his career. His
Positive Polity,' issued in 1885, one year
before his death, was an indication of the
grand plans he had conceived.
