In Dirty Business.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-J. 81. Cummings,
who is said to have been at one time a
newspaperman in San Francisco and
the East, was sentenced to ten days in
the county Jail on charge of extortion
today. Some years ago Miss Julia
Adler kept company and correspondent
with Henry Tillenburg. After Miss
Adler's marriage to r. Barrati, stock
borker, Tillenburg is said to have
shown her letters to Cummings. Both
Tillenburg and Cummings were nearly
penniless, and formed plan to extort
money from Mrs. Barrati by means of
the letters. The dates were changed
to make them appear to have been
written after her marriage. Then
Cummings demanded $50 apiece for
the letters, threatening to show them
to Mr.. Barrati, in case of her refusal.
In this way $40 was secured, $40 at a
time. Cummings gave the lady part
of one of the letters in return. Finally,
Mrs. Barrati told her husband. The
arrest of Cummings and Tillenburg
followed. Tillenburg secured his re-.
lease on bail, and has not since been
seen. He is said to be well connected
in Chicago.

prevents them from receiving all for

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins Co.'s Review OF
Trade.


Portland, Or, Oct 21.-It has al
WAYS been the claim of old traders that
numerous fluctuations increases specu
latiou. There is no lack Of the latter,
but the former does not appear to come
to the front with any degree OF free
dom, although there has been deold-
ed Improvement from the dizziness that
prevailed thirty days ago. There was
enough action last week to suit any
trader, Wheat moved within a range
of IN cents. and to make the situation
more favorable to holders, closing
figures were within a fraction OF the
highest point.
There is good tone to everything,
and the tendency is gradually upward.
The lowest prices this year have been
seen, and the hackers Of both polltlcai
parties claim that whichever way the
election goes prices are bound to ad'
vance. There will be many sharp
breaks from the bulges, and the opera
tors who do not take too large lines
and realize profits on all good bulges,
and buy back on the declines, Will
make good deal OF money. We have
enough of everything to supply our
wants, and good surplus OF grain and
hogs. The foreign situation is so
strong that we will have good mar
ket at remunerative prices for all that
we can spare. The crops of feed stuffs
in the United Kingdom are shorter
than for years, and they are taking our
corn and oats to make up the deficl-
enoy. Large purchases have already
been made at Chicago and at the sea-
board of corn and oats, and our exports
are the largest in years, and give evil
dence of exceeding all records.
New bull factors are consequently
coming to the front with surprising
regularity, especially in wheat, and it
has tendency to create the impress
sion in the minds of some operators that
there is some mysterious force at work
in the market, as it has lately been
helped at the most opportune moments.
Our crops of winter and spring were
damaged at time when they gave the
best promise. Russian farmers in
many districts were also unfortunate,
as their favorable prospects have been
cut down. Now there are reports COM
ing in that India's crop has suffered
from drought, although there have been
good rains in a few sections. The
English colony in Calcutta is buying
wheat in San Francisco for shipment to
that port Australia also continues to
buy wheat there. Liverpool is evil
IDENTIFY working the wheat for Calcut'
ia, as they have the information in ad-
vance of other points.
Stocks of wheat in European ports
are 32,0OO,000 BUSHES less than last
year, but the quantity on passage is l.
100, 900 bushels more, having increased
5000, 900 bushels during September
Afioat stocks are also larger at this
time than in five years, with the excep-
tion of 1898, when they were 5000, 600
bushels more. Stocks in store are the
lightest in years, but it should be re.
membered that the tendency on the part
of foreigners has been to work with
lighter supplies. This makes the
foreign situation strong. The world &
available supply is the smallest in five
years.
