WHEAT MARKET UPSET.
shrewdest Brokers NOnpIussed by
Early Buying and Selling.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 21.-Tnday's wheat
trade was upset early by some surprising
buying for local operator. This was
followed by just as surprising selling, ana
q decided break i'll prices TO tie lowest
point of the week For the first hour De-
cember wheat sold at T6 1-4a74 Ia; May,
SOaTS.
The shrewdest brokers in the pit We're at
loss to know whether the early activity
In wheat was legitimate or forced by GER
tain leaders. If IL was manipulation they
could not tell whether the shaking up and
shaking out of the first hour was to make a
strong market to sell out on or weak
mrket to buy in additional lines.
One com mission house took very shortly
after the opening about 500, 900 bushels
of wheat This gave the sharp upturn. on
the advance there was just as good c.i-
dcnce of selling by bull leaders There
was n drop in prices of cents straight in
one bour after the early bulge, followed by
rally of l cent.
The chief new from the wheat trade was
the London report OF rains in India. The
cable news said rains on two coasts had
benefited crops, and conditions favored
rains for the interior wheat sections.
Liverpool cables came on Sd. lower for
wheat. This looked as IL the English
houses accepted the rain reports. The
night report II San Francisco yesterday
was of bearish character. There was
some selling by New York.
Argentine reported $4,000 bushels OF
wheat shipped for the week Bradstrcct's
report Oh exports was 3,93T 900 bushels
of wheat and flour, both coasts. This was
encouraging 10 buyers. st. Louis showed
remarkable strength at SC. to 10c over
Chicago.

FELLED WITH A CLUB.
Clerk Murderously Attacked by a
Drunken COlOred Man.

William Thomas consumed just enough
liquor yesterday to make him ugly. Thomas
was walking along street. between Ninth
and Tenth, when he lurched up against a
show case and smashed the glass.
Joseph Greenburg, a clerk, exposulated
with the man and Thomas replied threat
eningly that he would return and fix him.
In few moments the eculoredman came back
armed with n club, and struck Greenburg
over the head The blow laid open the scalp
and knocked the young man to the pave
ment. When picked up he was partly un-
cons cious, and was at once hurried to the
Emergency Hospital.
An examination by the physicians showed
that there was slight fracture but the case
is not considered dangerous. Thomas made
his escape, but was later taken into custody
by officers of the Second precinct at the
request Of Policeman Warren who spent a
good portion ofthe day looking for the man.

in the Courts Instructions.

Messrs. Thomas C. Ta ylor and A Y Brad
ley, counsel for Columbus Pearson, recently
convicted OF the murder OF John L. Ford,
have filed a motion for a new trial The

Collectors are of the Opinion That They
Should Organize.

ohpuis VI ahi<~s
A project is now under consideration in
this city thar, II carried out, will be re-
ceived with appreciation, at least by a
certain class OF local faddists. This Is
the organization of poster club, 20 be
omppsed of poster collectors, who have
carried their fad so far that they feel the
need of a more united effort than can be
made by any one person.
There are large mum Der of enthusiastic
poster collectors in Providence, and
many of the collections are very large
and valuable. IL is, therefore, believed
by the projectors that associated. effort
would he OF the greatest advantage.
1t is proposed that the club should
have meetings at stated times, when the
collectors could meet and inspect collec-
tions. The great advantage OF this would
be to enable the collectors TO trade pos
ters. Every collector obtains many du-
plicates, but without more definite effort
II is impossible to dispose of them.
Anoher OBJECT of the club would be

organization would increase the interest
