CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER

FurniAhed by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex2
change, 526 Kansas Avenue.
Wheat-The opening this morning
was rather easier on account of an Asso-
ciated Press report that the political ex-
element in Europe had cuieted down to
some extent and no immediate trouble
was feared. This caused an i'm
mense liquidation and, assisted by the
big bear plungers. caused December
to sell at $500 Immediately after the
opening. All offerings were easily and
quickly absorbed, and, although several
raids were attempted, they were met
with waves of buying orders that com
pletely swept everything before them,
Exports we're larger than expect
ed, 100000 bushels, and cables were
stronger and higher all around.
Cash demand was very good,
and Bingham, the big New York export
ar. was reported heavy buyer and it is
stated on good authority that part of this

Late cables from Liverpool report the
closing as steady. The Cincinnati Price
Current comes out with bullish report
and says there is no essential relief
from the drouth influences which is re-
tarding wheat seeding, and that the area
is likely to be greatly reduced in conse-
quence.
The government report which comes
out at o'clock this afternoon is supposed
to be bearish, and should it be otherwise
will cause sharp advance on short COW
ering. The yield for 1894 was 1872 Blu.
per acre, acreage 34,8S2, 4G6 and average
price per bushel 49.S cents The outlook
is for higher prices. 1t may be kept
down temporarily on manipulation, but
it is only question of time until high
er level is bound to come, and we ad-
wise buying at these low prices.
Corn and Oats-Corn opened steady at
about unchanged prices and remained
quiet but firm during the entire session.
Condition of the corn crop. in Oct. 1894,
was 64.2S Last months report showed d
decline in condition to 964 from 1925. a
fall of 6s1 points The daily trade Bull
letin places this years crop, based on the
september report, at 2,200,000.000 bush

mated.

There is about to be placed over the
entrance of the new CORTLAND street
school a terra Gotta panel or tablet of
beautiful design which was ordered by
the city several months ago and which
is designed 10 represent education,

piece referred to Is exceptionally appro-
pirate for the position and purpose IT is
understood to occupy, representing by
three principal figures the ideal. The CEN
trail figure Is that o; a woman, outlined
and formed after Venus de Milo, and
properly clothed, while on either side Is a
boy and girl, each surrounded by the In
sigma OF school days. The girl is inter-
ested in spinning, sewing and other do
nestle attributes which are now intro
dued into school life, in addition to the
regular studies, and the boy Is looking
at a revolving globe and familiar books
are lying around him. The whole cast,
which is now In the hands OF the terra
otta people to be- completed. is the re-
suit Of the handiwork OF Providence
