THE RISE IN WHEAT.
Has Been the Notable Event Of the Week
In Trade Circles.

In Trade Circles
New York, Oct. PAR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: The event
OF the week has been the sensational ad-
vance of wheat to SO cents for cash on
Tuesday, rise of 5la cents. and its fall
to II cents on Thursday, gaining 1s on
Friday. The rise was magnified by
covering of speculative sellers, who
imagined the advance has gone too far,
but was at bottom based on an extraor-
binary foreign demand, which has en-
gagged grain vessels from all Pacific. as
well as Atlantic, ports for months ahead.
How great the shortage In ordinary
European supplies mIy be is the point
of doubt and speculation. but none now
question that shipments from the Pa
oific coast to India and the decrease In
Russian yield are important and the
buying of enormous quantities for ex-
port. with engagements of freight room
at higher rates, express the belief OF
European dealers.
Wheat exports from the Pacific coast
are large, and over 500, 900 bushels day
have been engaged ahead for some time.
The Atlantic exports, about 900. 900 BUSH
els larger than last year for the week,
have been, in October, 6,570,213 bushels.
flour included, against 5,0S6, 1888 last year.
1t is worthy OF note that western roads
are complaining Of car famine. the
demand for movement to market being
so great, though the actual receipts for
three weeks at western ports have been
81 1915 bushels, against 23,061,5H last
year, following a much increased move
ment in the quarter ending with Sep
tember. Corn moves largely, and at
lower prices. having declined cent for
the week. Cotton has advanced 1-16th
TO cents, with only moderate transac-
tions, and heavy receipts from planta-
tions.
The most striking feature Of industrial
returns is the number Of contracts con-
ditioned upon the election. These al
ready are enough to make business
rather lively for a time. and many others
are pending, which will probably be held
back unit. Nov. 1. The buying of ma
terials not only advances prices, but
induces larger purchases OF the finished
products without conditions. In boots
and shoes this is more noticeable than
other lines, and many orders are being
placed at an advance, which were held
back for some weeks.
Buying OF Bessemer pig at Pittsburs
causes a slight advance, and all markets
are strong for pig. bU not for finished
products. But the tone OF the market
is better, and decided increase OF orders
appears in plates.
Failures for the week have been zH
In the United States, against 231 last
year. and 60 In Canada, against Ss last
year.

A Notable WILL.

InaTutlic way and no creating pro-
found rutlic obligation to the donor. it
appears that tho will OF the late Mrs
PALLAs 3. WHEELER 10 one of the most
notable tbs, has ever come to our atten
tion in this town or elsewhere
The estimated value OF Mrs. wHEELER's
estate was about ss0.cc0. OF thus. between
$50, ,oOl and 5000 o Is bequeathed to public
charities. We do not recall btquests OF
this nature that reach so large a proper
tion of the total property at the COM
mand OF tho donor to give.
The i1t OF fortunate institutions and
societies which are thus benefited under
Mrs. wuEELER's will number %. OF
these 10 are lo~sl organizations, the list
including tho Rhode Island Hospital. the
IL mropSthic Hospital and Butler Asy-
lum The sums bequeathed to the smaller
but notably worthy organizations, is pro-
rortionstely large, which is very good
thing since SO many OF these are more
rarely han others tho recipients OF bene-
ficence in any large amount.
We repeat, Mrs. WHEELER mas placed
tire people Of Providence under extra
ordinary obligations to her. We have no
doubt that the funds she has thus in
vested will return a gratifying interest in
good works.

HONEST JOHN, AGAIN.

HONEST JOHN. AGAIN
When the Democracy In Pawtucket, or
for that matter, the Democracy OF the
whole State, Is in sore straits and deep
distress II always drags ont from his
cosey home the Hon. JOHN W. DAVIS,
additionally known as "Honest JOHN"
DAVIS, in distinction we presume from
some other Democrats.
And Honest JOHN appears to be ever
willing to again appear in the strong
light OF the public calcium and he has
taken good many kno:kdowns. frat
and last, with Spartan fortitude and
patience becoming better cause. Second
onlytoDr.GARvIN lie hs come to represent
the forlorn hope of tho Demo cracy in this
State. The distinction is hat the Demo
cracy puts up DR.. Garvin when it neither
can win nor has serious desire to win
and IL puts up UNCLE JOHN DAVIS when
it would like to win II IL only could.
Uncle JOHN DAVIS Is today the most

GEORGE 4. BROWN. andidste for Con-
gross IN the First District, Is kinder

Uncle JOHN DAVIS goes back TO the time
of the Caesars for his Popocratic faith,
while IoRTIus JACK dates his back no
far her than The Chicago convention, and
the Hon. GEORGE 4. has picked up his
sterling silver views since the midsum-
mer horoscope developed nom ination
for something or other just ahead. 10 hear

Uncle JOHN 10 q grand old man in every
sense OF the word. Ho is the most cheer

fondness for him as good citizen aud
good fellow does not dim our vision to
his eminent qualities as a forlorn
hope. II is these qualities that mostly
recommend him to his fellow Democrats,
1t appears. What nobody else in the party
bankers after, Uncle JOHN DAVIS, bless
his Eeart, can always have. And so his
fellow Democrats have nominated him
again, for tn fortieth or tftieth time. we
have forgotten which, to be Mayor OF
Paetucket.
or course, the Democrats do not
believe that they will elect a Demo
cratic M yor in Pawtucket this
year. The mere fact that they put
up Uncls JOHN DAVIS is evidence
enough of that. When the rest of the
American nation is rolling up its tidal
wave for sound money and protection

Popocrat for Pawtucket. No free silver

AN INTERESTING TANGLE.
License Commissioners Was q Member oi
Liquor Firm

Liquor Firm.
Fall River, Mass, Oct. 24.-In the In
solvency court here yesterday. Judge
Fuller gave a second hearing on the
petition of Dominick Ejnegan of the firm
of Finegan & Fitzsimmons. liquor deal
ers. of this city, to be declared insolvent.
The first hearing was held i'm Taunton,
Oct. g. and brought out the fact that the
firm originally consisted of the follow
ing five parties: Ex-Mayor Coughlin,
License Commissioner Stanton, j. l..
O'Connell and Finegan and Fitzsim-
mons. Milton Reed, counsel for Fitz-
simmons, demanded that the other three
parties be cited into court to show why
they should not be considered members
of the firm. 1t was stated that just be-
fore election, Coughlin disposed OF his
share to O'Connell who later sold both
shares. Many of the creditors were
represented by counsel. and IL was stated
that no testimony Of the transference OF
partnership in the business could be
found, and objections would be raised
for the granting IF any warrant in which
Stanton's name was not included. Coun-
sci Cummings said that the shares OF
Coughlin and O'Connell had been ac-
counted for, but it is not known what has
become Of Stanton's share. Judge Full
Ter suggested that the situation would be
relieved if License Commissioner Stan
ton could come into court, and accord
ingly issued a ySrrant for Stanton tc
appear before him on Oct. 80, TO show
cause why he should not be included as
a member of the firm. License Com
missioner Nanton may be obliged to re-
sign his commission, as according to the
law no commissioner can conduct, OF
be interested in any Of the business
for which he has to grant licenses.
