WHEAT LIVELY YESTERDAY.
1t Goes Close to II and Winds Up a
Little Less than 20.

Chicago. October 14.--In spite Of the
N cent advance reported in the local
market yesterday, Liverpool opened
this morning with hd decline. But it
had no effect on local operators, who
appeared crazy to buy wheat, and their
demands were not satisfied until the
first half hour of the session had elaps-
ed. The first trades in December wheat
were at from 7Ols to 7OAc, compared
with 7OAd% at the close of the market
yesterday, and before the demand was
satisfied for a time it rose to II cents.
The strength came directly from San
Francisco, the messages from that city
being sensational, and as some of them
were accompanied by orders to buy
wheat. they were in that way made
doubly impressive. One message read:
six cargoes taken for India, and five
for Australia; the India demand enor-
nous"
Northwestern receipts. too, were
much smaller than they have been re-
Gently running. That such a sharp ad-
vance should bring out heavy lines of
long wheat was to be expected and out
they came. One broker whose selling
credited to Armuor, let go of the first
large line, amounting to nearly 1900, 900
bushels. Then others came in and a
stupendous amount of wheat was
dumped on the market. A sharp decline
was inevitable, and before the bottom
was reached, the price of December
had declined to Ssh9% A breathing
spell occurred and then came fun.
Prices fluctuated with the rapidity of
a kaleidoscope, and no one seemed to
know why. The price scared to zoe,
and from that shot up to 7S% cents.
1t seemed to have hit it's head against
something on the last jump, so it fell
quickly after to 69$qh. and it was
struggling at the latter price at the end
of the session.

on this fact the concluding words

The NandnIs.

The members of the park and tree COM
mission are incensed. and justly so, at
the constant acts of malicious mischief
that are committed in the parks and
squares. One of the members of the COM
mission called at the Morning News office
yesterday, and reported that on Sunday
evening some one stripped the bark off of
a splendid dog wood tree in Madison
square. The tree is so badly injured that
it is doubtful if it will live. From another
young tree on Bull street the bark has
been cut off recently.
These acts of vandalism are being COM
mitted,an the time, in all parts of the city.
They are committed maliciousy. Those
who commit them know they are doing
wrong, because they do their work in the

minutes time trees that have taken years
to bring to their present perfection. If
enough to understand the enormity of
their offense they should be sent to the
chain-gang if caught, and if by small
boys, they should be whipped so severely
that they would retain a lively recollec-
ton of the punishment during the remain

Two things should be done at once. The
council should pass an ordinance provid-
ing a severe punishment for injuring the
trees and shrubbery, and requiring every

ing trees or plants of any sort; and the
