WHEAT ADVANCES AGAIN.
Still Another Big Gain ia Prices Is Re-.
COrdcd-.A Rise Of Over One
Cent q Bushei.

New York, Oct. 13.--Wheat reached
the highest point of the year today.
Since last July prices have advanced
over Is cents bushel. If the big chi
cago bull leaders are to be believed they
will go considerably higher yet, before
the present bull campaign is over.
This mornings opening was unusual
ly active, with an intense bulliSh feel
ing manifest among local traders. First
prices We're 1Ac. higher than last night
and later there was further advance.
In addition to Unexpectedly higher
cables, foreign houses were good buy
ers. 1t was said that 100000 bushels of
wheat had been bought in San Fran
cisco for shipment to India. This has
been one of the strongest bull cards
of late 1t is known that the weather
throughout parts of India has been un-
propitious Tor crops, anf 1t is now
claimed that she is buying wheat
abroad, although an exporter herself.
Many traders do not believe the re-
ports, but in the present nervous state
of the market, they have considerable
weight. The crops of the world this
year are expected to fall far short of
requirements, and the bulls declare
prices are still below their legitimate
level, based upon supply and demand.
The corn market also shot UP cent
a bushel ut the opening today. Within
the past few days it has developed re-
markable strength, due to increasing
speculative activity and a growing de-
mand for shipment abroad.
Silver continued to decline, as if pur-
suing Mr.. Bryan in its fatality. The
price at which commercial bars sold at
today was 64ss cents an ounce. This is
u drop OF IL cents an ounce inside of u
week. That too, with wheat going up
and Mr. Bryan telling farmers that
when silver advances in value wheat
also appreciates in sympathy.

Lafayette for a substantial increase of
the guarantee agreed upon between the
two colleges. The day before the game
last year Lafayette made the same kind
of a demand and then Pennsylvania
agreed to it and paid the advance ask
ed. This year Pennsylvania will not
accede to the asked for advance. They
have the agreement entered into and
signed by the foot ball authorities of
each college. under which Lafayette
agrees to take certain share of the
gate receipts.
The game with the Easton boys is off.
Lafayette made the demand ON the
grounds. as they had played tie game
with Princeton, their teams drawing
power had been increased and they
should be paid more money for the
game. 1t is understood here that Laf-
ayette and Princeton are endeavoring
to come to an agreement to play Il
second game this season, and that is to
be played in Philadelphia. If Lafay-
ette does not play Pennsylvania they
will fill its date with some other college.

by Saudusky Enthusiustics.

Canton. o.. Oct. 13.-Sandusky coun-
ty, Ohio. sent IA big crowd of its in
habitants to call on Major Mckinley
this afternoon. They came in sections
by different routes and when they had
all congregated at the Tabernacle, there
were fully 1000 in the party. De-
spite the rain they were unusually EN-
thuSiastic.
After listening attentively to the ad-
dress of Major Mckinley n procession

members of the party, headed by
band of music, marched through the
rain and mud to the Mckinley resi-
dence. There they presented to Mrs.
Mckinley a beautiful collection of
roses. the Gift of ladies of Sandusky
county.
1t is expected that Wednesday. oct.
II, which has been designated as II
linois Day" by Cantonites it will be
the most notable day of the present
campaign in this city. Between eight
and ten thousand people, it is believed
will make that journey from different
points OF Illinois and extensive prep
arations for their entertainment are be-
ing made by the citizens reception
committee. The visitors will bring a
carload of horses for their own use
and many uniformed clubs will ac-
company the party.
