FORTUNES MADE IN AN HOUR
SENSATIONAL RISE OF WHEAT EN-
 RICHES MANY OPERATORS.

Top Notch Reached at Chicago 79 3-4
 Cents-Prices Changed in n Bewildering
 Manner--Everybody Was Making Money
 Movement Not Political One-Entire-
 ly Legitimate Big Traders Say.
 Chicago, Oct. 19.-The top notch of the sensational wheat session was 79%. But the market was not all upwards. It oscillated between Saturdays clos ing price and the top, reacted to 1894. then went to 79% and flashed all around this point with a bewildering assortment of changes. The December future broke toward the close, the last official price being TIPS, but that was 11A cents over Saturdays closing. Traders on both sides of the market realized it was not local one, which was shown by the prices remaining firm in the face of heavy selling of long lines by holders to get the profit.
 A feature of the day was that every body was making money. Paying bus mess came to the brokers from Tacoma to New Brunswick. P. D. Armour was a heavy buyer and there was a report that John Cudahy held big lots of his wheat, but 1t was not supposed he sold all of his long line. The boisterous opening of the Minneapolis market where the opening prices were almost five cents above the closing Saturday, of the northwestern market.
 Strong as the demand was locally wheat could only be got when men were up who were willing to let go and be satisfied with their profits Fortunes were made in an hour. Pres ident Baker said: The activity Is due to strong foreign markets, Liverpool showing an advance of s cents a bushel Great Britain wants our wheat, but 1t is absurd to talk of wheat being shipped to Argentina"

BRYAN IN M,KINLEY,s STATE.
He Speaks to 10000 People-Introduced
 by Ex-Governor CampbelI

Hamilton, O., Oct. 19.-Ex- Governor Campbell introduced Mir. Bryan here to-day. The crowd numbered 10000 and many thousand others who did not attended the speechmakng at the Court house square were on the streets. MT. Bryan was heartily cheered on his way to the square under escort of Miami club and other organizations. Brass bands and wagon load of young la dies, sixteen in white and one in yellow were also in evidence. A wild shout went up as Mir Bryan appeared on the platform and it's volume was intensi- fled after he was presented by ex-Gov- ernor Campbell. This was Mir Camp bells initial appearance on the politi- cal rostrum iii this campaign and his remarks were listened to with more than usual attention He said:
 The largest audience that ever as- sembled in the city of Hamilton is here to-day. It has come to greet and listen to the regular nominee of the demo- cratic party. Whatever may have been the opinion amongst democrats before his nomination here In Butler county they are all Loyalty supporting him now. He has only two faults He has been charged with them and he has never denied them. One is that he is young. and the other Is that he is good looking. But I am told by those who are no longer od-looking and young that time will remedy those faults to per- lection. But you are here to listen to him and, therefore, I present him, the matchless democratic orator, William J. Bryan" Loud cheers.)
 Mir Bryan in part said: q do not ask to have any warmer place in the hearts of the people of this country than the gentleman has who introduced me. If you can think as well of me as you have thought of him, and If you can vote as strongly for me as you have voted for him shall have good reason to remember my visit to Butler county. l want to say that in this campaign. I stand for those policies which are democratic in the broadest sense of the term. I believe in the democracy that means the rule of the people.
 Our opponents propose nothing. You tell them that the people are suf- fering and what do they say? They say that the trouble is agitation and I never hear anyone who finds fault with the agitation of public question with out wondering how that man can make up his mind to live in a country like this. They imagine that they can stop agitation by simply commanding 1t to be stilled. There is agitation and it will continue until that foreign policy is taken out and sent from this coun- try" (Cheers.)
 MT. Bryan spoke on his we'll known line of argument and ended his speech amid tumuH of applause.

THEIR DEEDS REMEMBERED.
Memorials Erected to Commemorate the
 yalor of New Jerseys Minute Men.

yaior of New Jerseys Minute Men.
 Orange, N. J.. Oct. 19.--The old town of Springfield was the scene of a great demonstration to-day when two monu- ments were unveiled by the New Jer- sey Society of the Sonsi of the Ameri- can Revolution. One was a monument in the old burying ground in the center Of the village and the other the huge powder on the highest point of Hobart Hill, in the rear of Short Hills, where it Is claimed the minute gun "Old Sow was fired. An immense crowd gath cred, including the various chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution, Daughters of the Revolution, Society of Colonial Wars and members of the New Jersey Historical society. The crowd assembled first in the old cemetery, where a granite monument, eight feet high, had been erected. On its face Is the society's seal in bronze and the inscription, ITO the Memory of the Patriots Who Fell at Springfield, June 23 17S0''
 The ceremonies began at o'clock with the unveling of the monument and the presentation of the deed of the plot to the society by William Flemmer. The gift was accepted by John Whitehead, president of the soci- ety, in a brief speech. The assembly then adjourned to the old Presbyterian church, erected in 1791 on the site of the old church burned by the British in 17S0. The church was handsomely dec orated. A large portrait of General Washington surrounded with flags hung over the pulpit, and the old army muskets were stacked on either side of the pulpit.
 The oration was delivered by Flavel McGee of Jersey City. Addresses were also made by President Whitehead oi the Sons of the American Revolution and Willis Lightbourne of Westfield N. J. Immediately afterAthe close of the ceremonies in the church the invit- ed guests were driven to Hobart Hill where the powder marking the site of the "Old Sow was dedicated The powder is suitably inscribed.

REED FACES 4 "oUoRUM. :"
The Chicago Auditorium Was Packed to
 Hear New England's Leader.

Hear New England's Leader.
 Chicago, Oct. .19.-Hon. Thomas B. Reed this afternoon addressed the audience that filled the Auditorium from bottom to top. Even the aisles were damned full of people unable to get seats and outside the theater was another crowd clamorlng for admission. After a medley of patriotic airs played on the immense organ and several se- lections by a campaign glee club MT. Reed entered and was greeted with ap- plause and cheers several times repeat ed, one enthusiast shouting:
 Do you think there's quorum pres- ent?"
 This was greeted with general laugh ter. MT Reed made characteristic speech, which was frequently inter- rupted by enthusiastic demonstrations of approval, while his sallies of wit re- ceived equally hearty laughter.
 MT. Reed said, in part: Tt is propos- ed to change the currency of this coun- try-not to change 1t a little, but change it seriously. It Is claimed that this change will be for the country s benefit, but, singularly enough, the gen. tlemen who propose the change never say how it will benefit the country. They only say we believe so and so and so will happen
 "'We believe is good foundation for theology. It is very well when we are not going to test it till the next world. But in the world of business we believe is worth nothing. If there is man in this audience who has been lucky enough to have owed a debt ever since the crime of 1873 I would like to see him. Does he intend to take ad- vantage of the whole of the deprecia- tion of silver since that time, or only a quarter of that time, if he has owed a debt for quarter of that time.
 "The fact is that the average debt IS of less than three years standing. I presume some of you gentlemen in this audience have s10 Probably several Of you have $10 Now, suppose a man should come and try to borrow that $1O and you knew he would do his utmost to pay you back with $5 What would you do? You would be apt to charge 50 per cent. for risk and about 10 per cent. for incidentals, and lend him $4. taking his note for $10 (Great ap- plause) Of course you would have to lend it to him. Now, do you think that the foreigner has less sense than you? Do you think the man who has s100 has less sense than you?
 "Gentlemen of the west I am glad to see by your aptitude that you are go- ing to allow us of the east to agree with you on the subject of finance. This world is good for nothing except when on the up grade Civilization must be on the up p-grade. Let the people down these men who are making language. and put up the men who are making | progress"
