THE worlds wheat crop this year
is the smallest since 1891. 1t is about
150, ,000,000 bushels less than last year,
215, 900, 900 bushels less than the crop
in 1860 and about 175,000,0 900 bushels
less than the crop of 1898. And yet
Mckinley and his followers have the
cheek to tell the farmer that it is
over production which is the cause
of the low price of wheat! But the
farmer has been fooled long enough
by such nonsense, as his vote this
fall will testify. They intend voting
for BRYAN and silver.

Paints and oil were never so cheap
as they now are and fortunately the
decline has come at the best season
of the year for painting. Saur 81
Balsley inform us that their sale of
paint and oil this season has nearly
doubled that Of last year when their
sales were nearly eight hundred gal
Ions. The secret of their success in
the sale of paints lies in the fact that
they sell only the best quality obtain
able. Consult your best interests and

Watch for the Buffalo moth.
They have reached Bellefontaine and
are in some of our finest homes.
Spread sheet on the floor, brush
your clothing on it and kill the
moth as it drops. They thrive on
poison, are especially found of moth

gasoline. If they get into your car
pet they will cut it as with a sharp
knife. Eternal vigilance is the only

MARKETS-LOCAL AND GENERAL

In Manchester yarns were dull, but steady.
 Futures here opened unchanged to points higher, reacted and declined points, then rallied and advanced slightly, but toward the last weakened again and closed steady at decline of 1 to 3 points, with sales of 169, 400 bales.
 The speculation today was quiet and the fluctuations in prices were confined within narrow limits The crop news from the south is conflicting and estimates of yield range from 1000, 600 to $500, GOO bales. In view of the uncertainty regarding the outcome there is little disposition to trade. Todays prices were firmer at the opening, but after first transactions they weakened and de- clined. The Liverpool news was disappoint- ing and selling orders were received from the market while reports stated that Neili had estimated the crop at over 1000 bales. These developments led to general selling and prices gave way. The reported Neill estimate was denied later on, however, and it was also stated that Neill Bros. would not issue a crop estimate until after frost. This stirred the market and prices slowly ad- vanced. Before the close, however, the market again weakened and the last prices were slightly lower. The crop movement continues heavy and the southern spot mar kets are generally lower.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 7.--(Special)- market fuetuated within range of 13 points today. January opening at 796, advancing to sos, declining to 79O and reactng in the last hour, closing at 7.95G796, with the tone steady. The receipts continue to pour In in staggering volume, and as long as this keeps up we fear cotton will be heavy and drop ping. The bears here are highly elated and say that January will certainly go to 7.7S. This may be. but it all depends upon how the receipts shall run. One thing seems pretty certain-any further decline is likely to be slow and stubbornly contested-while, if there should be any marked shrinkage in the movement the resulting advance will probably be remarkable, sharp and sudden. The bureau report to be given out next Sat- urday is lion in the path of the bear, and the fear of it's figures probably prevented a more serious break today.
