Wheat Market at Chicago Takes on q
Modified Tone.

Chicago, Oct. 81. = By comparison
with Mondays market for wheat Tues
day mornings trade at the opening was
decidedly tame. The modified tone
was partly in continuation of the easier
feeling which developed at Mondays
close, but more especially because OF
q pause in the advance at Liverpool.
Less was heard of foreign buying or
ders Tuesday morning and it is doubt
full if there were any of Importance re-
ceived. Outside domestic markets were
also rather inclined to weakness, fact
which had some bearing on the situH-
ton. A few of the prominent profess
SIGNALS sold little wheat in the MORN
ing, but their sales were not intiuen-
tial. Prices opened higher than they
closed Monday, soon losing their ep-
probation. December wheat, which
closed Monday at 77as, opened Tuesday
morning from 77s to TN, declined to
7eN, afterwards rallying to 77A@77M.
San Francisco, Oct. 21.-The excite
ment in wheat abated considerably
Tuesday and prices had quite decline
from the extreme points reached Mon
day. When the first curb price in Chi
cago came through at 77% cents against
7sh cents at Mondays close, there was
weaker feeling in the local pit. At
9:15 liberal sales were made. May
opened ut $1.54 and fell to $1.51, closing
at s1.5lA. December opened at $l.5e and
dropped to $1.4s. At 1918 December
sold down to S1.46 and May to $1.4Gh.
At 11:1. the news of sharp rally in
the Chicago market somewhat strength
ened the situation here. May opened at
$1.b4, gain of Az cents over the pre-
vious lowest price, and then sold back
to s1.51A. December opened at $1.4oM,
rose to $3.50 and then fell to $1.47h,
closing at s1.47A. Options were
steadier in the afternoon, December
opened at $1.49A and closed at s1.4sh.
May opened at s1.53M, rose to s1.55M
and closed at $1.53.

places his assets at $45, 900, and thinks

Little WIN Vote for Silver.

Kansas Republicans are not all Of that
kind and character of men who swallow
anything and everything bearing the
party label. So many are depouncing
the platform that it is impossible to keep
track of all of them. The latest is Ed
G. Little, whe was Consul General to
Cairo. He is one of the best informed
and most intelligent Republicans in the
State. In recent interview he said:
"The nomination of Mai. Mckinley
on a Grover Cleveland platform marks
the end of one era and the beginning of
another in politics. 1t is the hand of
Esau, but the voice of Jacob. Party
lines are destroyed and there will be
another alignment of political organiza-
tions. They can call it the Republican
party, but that does not make it such.
You might call a catamountR kangaroo,
but still she wouldn't carry her young
in a pouch. The gold standard platform
is a direct challenge to every self-re-
specting bimetRllist, and especially to
those in Kansas who have felt that free
coinage of silver is the only bimetRllism
possible Over and over Kansas Re-
publicans have resolved for free coinage
What will they dor l have an abiding
conviction that free coinageis, by interest
and tradition, the proper policy for
Kansas and / propose to vote that way
if I am the only man in the State who
does So"
