IDLE TO LEVY TARIFF.
"Levying tariff on wool at the pres
ent time would not do any more to i'm
prove the wool industry than levying a
special tax on clothing stores would do
to improve the clothing trade. But re-
monetize silver, open the mines to work
digging it out of the ground, and the rail-
roads to hauling the ores to the smelter,
give us good, honest American money
enough to do the business of the country,
set the wheels of industry to moving and
then prices of all kinds will take the up.
grade and the price of wool will 60 up
along with the price of everything else.
Then if we need protection against wool
imported from other countries it will be
time to put on the tariff, but can't
imagine anything more absurd than to
talk about raising the price of wool by
.levying tariff on it, as long as all busi-
ness is SO dull that the mills can't afford
to buy and manufacture our wool even
at the present low prices. If 1he mills
can't run, with their raw material on the
free list, how will putting tax on
their raw material help them to run?
believe in tariff on wool as soon as tariff
will help us any; but what is needed now
to improve the wool industry is a greater
supply of money in the country, and
until we get that all the tariff We can levy
will do us no good"

" HEAT MARKET WILD.
December Wheat Jumped Ups Cents
in Chicago Siuce the Closing
Quotations Of saturday.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Wheat made a
breaking jump to-day. December, which
closed Saturday at 755s, opened this
morning at 791s and 1873, standing at the
latter figure, an advance of 81.
The widest excitement characterized
the trading. There was talk of possible
failures.
After momentary reaction to 79,
December wheat soon went beyond the
top figure, reaching 79l4 several times
within the first fifteen minutes of bust
ness.
About 10 o'clock the market took a
sudden plunge downward to 49, reacting
quickly to 794.
Before IL O'Clock the pit witnessed a
notable example of whipsaw. From
1871 the market fell as rapidly as it had
risen to 1874. Scattering sales we're
made at 1924.
Then the market rebounded, the ruling
price at l. a. m. being 79 for December.
The advance to-day was due to Liver
pool cables, which reported that market
excited and from 311a to 5 cents niger,
equivalent to an advance of from to 5
cents.
No such jump has been experienced in
that market for years. Tremendous lines
we're dumped on the market here at
about 79.
Surprise was occasloned by Indian
shipments of $4,000 bushels, indicative
that the seriousness of the Indian situa-
tion has been exaggerated. There was
lot of selling done on it and the price of
December sagged to tx during the last
hours of business.
WHEAT JUMPED IN NEW YORK.
New York.-Wheat made perpendio-
ular advance of ~ cents a bushel, fol-
lowing the stupendous jump of six
cents at Liverpool and general specula-
tive excitement throughout the whole of
Europe.
The bull movement was accompanied
by extense local excitement and heavy
trading. December options, which
closed on Saturday at sl4, opened to-
day at 85B and before the demand could
be appeased had jumped to S6R cents.
At noon the tremendous strain of ex-
citement in wheat exhausted itself. The
price fell one cent bushel through the
cessation of the strong demand.
