TODAY'S HARRIET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal


WHEAT-Was in a whirl again to-
day. The whirl started with a break of
nearly cents a bushel, almost as soon
as trading began. December wheat,
which closed at 1880, opened this morn
ing with trades all the way from 775sc
to 777sc. The price rapidly fell to 76Ac-
1t recovered temporarily to TIC, but
at 1915 was tumbling again and went
to 761zc, within sc of a square loss OF
&c as compared with last nights clos
ing figures.
The descent continued with scarcely
a halt At 1926 a. m. December wheat
was quoted at 757sc. a loss of 215c a
bushel in about an hour.
There was a decidedly nervous feel
ing in the pit. Liverpool cables came
higher today but only affected the ad-
vance here yesterday and later cables
indicated weakness abroad. Another
weakening influence was the heaviness
of the northwest receipts which were
fully up to the high mark of last year
At the opening wheat was almost IN
saleable. The short interest had been
driven to cover yesterday and their in
activity removed the usual sustaining
influence Armour was credited with
being a big seller
CORN-Was decidedly weak, not only
from the course of wheat but from the
Indifferent cables May opened &c
lower at 28azc and started downward
at once, reaching 289sc in an hours
time, the sIuggishness of trading pre-
venting a sharper decline

CASE OF BTLLDOZING.
Pepperill Can't be Perniciously Parti-
san but W. C. Perry Can

Today w. H. L. Pepperill, postmas-
ter al COnc0rdia and also secretary OF
the Democratic state central commit
tee, resigned because he was informed
that if he continued to act as secre-
tary he would be dismissed from the
postmastership as a pernicious paru-
san.
This is the first blow struck by the
gold Democrats of the state through
the postofice department at Washing
ton at the pOstmasters of Kansas who
have been guilty Of .'pernicious paru-
sanship" by supporting Bryan or re-
fusing to identity themselves with the
gold Democrats
some time ago w c. Perry received
a letter from headquarters and he made
haste to ait once identify himself with
the gold Democrats and contribute TO
the campaign fund and will this week
take the stump for the cause and con-
tinue tin the election. In Mr.. Perry s
case it seems this is not pernicious par
tisanship. 1T is said that wv. I'LL T.
Peppereu got gentle hint some time
ago that he was taking too proml-
nent part in politics. PepperiI did
not act ON his advice as quickly as
Perry did and the result was that he
subsequently got a further c0mmunl-
cation from the department which re-
suited in his handing in his resigna-
ton of the secretaryship of the state
cantral committee. Pepperin's resig-
nation was received at headquarters
today and as vet no appointment has
been made to fill the vacancy Chair
man Love of the committee refused to
say anything on the subject further
than that he had just received the res
ianation and did not know who, if any
one would be appointed to fiji the va
cancy.
A prominent politician who has been
watching the machinery Of the cam
paign said.
sI have been wondering If something
of the kind would not occur soon The
gold Democrats have not been getting
very much encouragement from the
Democratic federal office holders and
something had to be done, so they took
this means of forcing Peppperiu to re-
sign from the committee in hopes that
it viii have its effect on other Demo
Gratis in the state who are working for
the fusion and Bryan electors. In
the meantime Perry can 60 from one
end Of the state to the other and make
