THE GRAIN MARKET.
Active Wheat And Heavy Hog Re-
CENTS Anticipated.

Active Wheat And Heavy Hog Re-
ceipts Anticipated.
Chicago, H., Oct. 10.-Wheat-Th
wheat market the past week has been
active, within a range of about four
cents per bushel. News has been
about evenly divided, and at times
has exerted considerable influence on
prices. Liverpool and San Francis
co still continue to report sales Of
wheat for Indian account. Gables
have been firm, and seabOard clear
ances large, four million bushels
against 100000, and 100000 last
year. The bearish factors are the
heavy northwestern receipts, large ar
rivals at primary points, and an in
crease in the Russian shipments. EX-
ports from the Danubian ports were
less this week, than a week ago, but
the deficiency was made up by Rus
STA, and prices the fore part of next
week may be governed to some extent
by the amount these two countries
ship.
The trade bulletin makes an in
crease in Russian stocks during Sep
TENDER of 100000 bushels, and esti-
mates an increase in the worlds visi-
BILE Of about twenty-five million bush
els, during that time, but a decrease
of the same amount from one year
ago. In a speculative way some of
the big holders were free sellers the
fore part of week, but on the decline
fn1Inrrrn1
from the action of the market, the
past three days, evidently made a
good turn by their procedure. The
feeling this morning was bullish, on
the large weekly clearances and ad-
vices from the west reporting damage
to the Australian crop, from hot
winds.
Professionals were buyers at the
opening, but began selling after the
market left SO cents. Prices later
broke IL cents per bushel on general
realization. The government report
| this afternoon has caused some even
ing up. The trade generally looks for
a larger yield than indicated by last
months report.
Corn is developing considerable in
dependent strength, which had more
or less influence on wheat. The fac
tors are large shipping and export de-
mand, and a restoration of the freight
rates to go into effect November 1st
The short interest seems to have been
large and they were probably the best
| buyers. Provisions have been firm
on buying by packers and outsiders
of January product, and the strong
position of the cash article, which
packers do not feel disposed to part
with, just now. We do not think q
great advance is justified in view OF
the general situation, as receipts OF
hogs are likely to be heavy during No
vember and December.

THE COTTON MARKET.

COJlOH hepOTleu 1T OU' esleT-

Fairchild & Hobson's cotton
letter by private wire to the Al
amo Brokerage Co.
New Orleans, Oct. 10.-The
cotton market today has been
under the influence of the bureau
report, and while the report
showed a very low condition
Colt was without effect upon
the market. To begin with, it is
entirely discredited, for the rea-
son that it is at variance with
the recent weekly reports, and
Numerically opposed to private
accounts. Another reason why
its effect was lost was the belief
that certain traders had antici-
pated it's tenor and had loaded
UP heavily on it, and had this
cotton for sale. Much will de-
pend upon the action of Liver
pool. From that center a poor
response was sent today, private
cables, saying that the market
was under the influence of the
rumOr of NeilPs S,SO0,00O esti-
mate and a more favorable bu-
reau report, the latter point not
having been realized. Spots
show little Improvement, they
being under the continued ban of
high freights, low exchange and
difficult financing.

Postoifice.
In days of old a maiden fair,
When asked to walk Loves way,
Would, if she did not care for him,
Give answer by may"
As time sped on the speech was
changed
But gave her lover woe,
When asked to wed the one she won't
She sternly answered mo"
But time has changed, the maiden now
Is slangy and wit,
And when he asks if she will wed,
She says II think so-nit."
What matters it. 'Tis just as hard,
The mans as badly hit,
If she but say him may" or mo
Or answers with n nit"
That is if love has got him bad,
And set his brain awhirl;
In such case I'd say Goodbye"
And seek another girl.
The world is wide, girls are not few,
And man need not repine,.
For somewhere he will surely meet
A love that is divine.
At all events it is not wise,
To sulk and keep quite shady,
Remember that the faint of heart
Ne'er won the fairest lady.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Wall street stock letter by pri-
vate wire to the Alamo Broker
age Co.
New York, Oct. 10.-The stock
market showed a general
weakness today, the de-
tlines in the railway list
averaging about a point.
Sugar was an exception to the
common tendency, ruling higher
than last night on covering of
shorts. Tobacco was also ex-
ceptiOnally strong on inside sup
port. Manhattan rose ftfully
and eased off later. Reading
suffered material loss. The pub
LEGATION of the bank statement
was without effect. The an
nOuncement of further gold en-
gagements was without effect.
The selling movement was large
ly professional, but was based on
the theory that election uncer-
tainties would prevent important
interests from supporting values
aggressively. The market clos
ed dull and heavy.

THE coUNTY REPUBLICANs

/ 7 - ~ - - a - @N%-f
The Republican delegate con
vention held at Mission garden
on the Goth of September was, in
many respects, the most repre-
sentative, cleanest, most respect
able assemblage of good citizens
held in our county for years,
having for their object the plac-
ing of ticket in the field for
county officers.
For the past sixteen years our
local politics have been run on
the non-partisan plan. The
way this came about was that
the regular Democratic organiza-
ton had fallen into such disre-
pute through the manipulation
of the courthouse ring that the
respectable element of the Dem
ocratic party appealed to the Re
publicans to fOregO party nOmi-
nations and join hands to down
the corrupt local Democratic ma
chine. This movement was hon
est, sincere and patriotic; it
brought the best citizens tOgeth-
er and resulted in the overthrow
of the local Democratic nOmina-
ing machine. The people be
came enamOred with "independ-
ent" action in local politics. In
1886 the people. through this
Independent action, swept the
courthouse ring" out of Office
with but one or two exceptions.
Since that time the very weapons
used to down the OfficehOlders'
combination have been used to
perpetuate and make impregna-
BILE the courthouse ring" They
have become the champions of
mo party politics in local cleo
tons, and today stand behind
the breastwOrks of nOn-partisan-
ship, defying the people to dis
lodge them.
This non-partisan business has,
naturally, become nothing more
nor less than personal politics,
engendering hatred and person
al luminosity between those who
contend for the rich prizes of our
county offices. 1t is high time
it was stopped, and there seems
to be no other way to do it but
to return to political party ac-
ton. The Republicans have led
the way by putting out a party
ticket.
AS the Republican party was
largely responsible for all the
reform" movements, it is but
meet and proper for that party
to lead off in the effort to rid our
community of the most reckless,
the most defiant combination of
personal politicians we have ever
been cursed with.
1t has cost the people of Bexar
county hundreds of thousands of
dollars to maintain this cOmbina-
ton in Office. Will the people
consent to continue these men in
office?
On the other hand we see the
city administration putting forth
claim, in the shape of ticket,
to run 'Bexar county. There is
little or no difference between
the city hall and the courthouse
rings. Their aims and purposes
are alike. Hence we hail with
pleasure the Republican effort
to break down personal politics
backed by official patronage and
campaign slush funds.
The platform and declarations
of the Republican convention are
exactly to the point and must
come home to every thinking,
honest, intelligent citizen

ADMIT ARIZONA AND NEW
MEXICO.

Mr.. n. O. Murphy, who has been
governor of Arizona, and who now
IS it's territorial delegate to congress,
defines the situation clearly when
he SAYS that there neither IS sense
nor fairness" in the protracted ex-
clusion of Arizona and New Mexico
from statehood.
In the Fifty Second and Fifty
Third Congresses the house OF rep
resentatives passed admission bills,
one of which was reported favor
ably by the senate committee on
territories; the other unfortunately
died in committee. The conven-
tons of both of the great parties
have declared in favor of statehood.
Each of the territories possesses
more wealth and has a larger popu-
lation than was enjoyed by any one
of two,thirds of the forty five states
at the time of it's admission. The
people are loyal, industrious. and
intelligent, ana they are taxed
without representation, which is an
un-American practice.
We fail to perceive any valid
cause against their adm ission to
statehood. 1t s the policy of the
United States to grant the right of
selfgovernment in local affairs and
of participation in national gov
eminent to all territories that are
able to bear the expenses of sys-
tenn of state government. AS Ari-
IONA and New Mexico are well able
and very willing to assume such a
burden, the continued relegation of
them to territorial condition is
unjust and unreasonable. Inter
Ocean.

DRESS REFORM-FOR MEN.

While the self appointed bene-
factors Of the human race are cry
ing aloud for "reform" in almost
everything from politics to pave
ments, it is strange that no one has
risen to denounce the conventional
attire of the male sex, and to de-
mand It's immediate amelioration.
Reliable statisticians have calcu
lated that Julius Caesar-who was
the best dressed man of his day in
Rome-required but forty seconds
to don the tunic, toga, and sandals
which formed the complete costume
of the period. 1t was not only a
simple, graceful and convenient
garb, but also a comfortable and
healthful one. 1t could be adjusted
according to weather and clrcum-
stances, and was constructed of
light or heavy material to suit the
season. 1t had no studs, buttons
or pins, and no straps save a girdle
around the waist.
On the other hand, the modern
masculine costume cOnsisos of
nearly two dozen separate articles,
requiring something like half an
hour for proper adjustments SER
ious tax in this busy age. 1t leaves
the throat-save Of those VINO in
self defense wear beard-undulv
exposed, while it gathers multi
plicity of folds at points where they
are only a burden. 1t is so un-
comeIy that it is the horror and
despair Of the painter and the
sculptor. 1t is so inconvenient that
when a man needs the free use of
his limbs, to run, climb or row, he
must dotf it and don less con-
stricting suit. And yet no one at
tempts a reform-the chief reason
being, probably, that no one dares
face the ridicule that waits on a de-
parture from conventionalitv.-

THE mayor has refused to sign
those warrants ordered by the coun-
Gil for the payment of the salary of
Marshal Baymiller and also the
Tribune warrant. There was no
other course for the mayor to take,
and his reasons for the refusal will
appear in the communications sent
by him to the council next Tues
day evening. The council had no
legal authority to appoint Mr. Bay
miller 10 the positions of street and
water commissioner, and it was
clearly subterfuge to make it pos
sible to pay him cash for acting as
marshal AS it is he is allowed no
salary for acting, but BaymilIer
