Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 25.-Thomas
G. Piatt will probably the the nominee
of the Republican state convention for
governor of New York. Unless he can
successfully combat great and grow
ing sentiment that has almost ceased
to be a matter that Mr.. Platt can con-
troll, his name will be presented to the
convention. Every other candidate
will withdraw and he will be nom
mated without debate. The Associ-
ated Press correspondent showed this
statement to Mr.. Platt. He thou ght
for a few minutes. ran his thin, al
most effeminate hand through his
beard, and said slowly and distinctly:
Il am hot 4 candidate and I do not
want the Office"
There was a story afloat that Mr..
Platt would allow the agitation in
his behalf to proceed until tonight in
order to demonstrate his popularity
among the delegates, and that then
be would call upon his lieutenants to
withdraw his name There are many
who believe that this is so, and that
his name will not go before the con-
vention. The state convention prom
ises to be full Of interesting incidents,
verlle and even vicious personal at
tacks and allusions and a breach in
the party that will probably lead to a
third ticket. If reports be true. the
state organizations will place Warner

WHEAT CLOSED HIGHER
AFTER WEAK OPENING THE MAR
I<ET FIRMED UP, GAINING 7-sC.
Strength Extended to the COarser
Grain. Corn and Oats Both Ad-
vancins-POrk Up 15c.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Conflicting foreign
news kept the wheat market moving ner-
vCusly up and down to-day, but in the end
the May option closed &c higher. Corn
and oats both showed firmness, advancing
Ac each. Provisions were strong and
closed at 5015c higher.
There was decided weakness around the
opening of the wheat market to-day, all
though it did not last long. The May op-
ton, which closed Saturday at 1850, opened
at from 79l2c to 791sc, most Of the trading
being around the lower figure. The weak
ness was attributable to several causes, the
NEST influential one being, perhaps, the
large Black sea shipments. They amounted
to 5,S56.O00 bu last week. This was an in
crease of nearly 1.OOJ.0 600 over the previous
week. That, added 10 the 3,391 900 bu from
this side and the $4,000 bu from Argentine,
made the grand total of 9.s730O0 bu. Open
ing cables also were disappointing. and
further rains were reported in drought
stricken India. But later, when indications
pointed to a decrease in the visible supply
of 100000 bu. where there had been an
increase of about 100000 bu the same week
last year, the market gradually hardened.
Some of the early sellers got frightened,
and covered, and those who had liquidated
back. A gradual advance to S0l4c ensued.
This was the top price for time. The
hgures on the English visible supply were
surprising to the speculators. They showed
an increase of 1000 bu. and there was
scramble for while, the price declining to
1850.
The market turned stronger in the last
hour. Private cables gave unfavorable
ports of the Argentine outlook. Covering
by shorts again set in, and May sold up to
SOAc, the high point of the day. The sell
ing on the advance, however. was sufficient
to break the price again to S01ac, where 1t
closed.
Corn started firm at a shade better than
Saturdays closing prices, influenced, prob
ably, by the moist atmosphere, although
the fluctuations of wheat also had their
effect. The trade was spasmodically active
and dull by turns. Business was largely on
local account May opened a shade higher
at &c, ranged from 267sc to 27Ac, closing
steady at 27,s@27Hc.
Business ii oats was not large, yet the
market was a fairly active one, the tone
of which firmer in sympathy with
wheat and corn. Prices at the close were
Ac and 4Q2sc better. May opened lsc high
er at 211s. ranged between 21%c and 22Bc,
closing steady at 22c.
Business in provisions was fairly good at
or hogs than anticipated was the incentive
for strong and higher opening. Pack
ers were free sellers at the advance and
decline ensUed but prices rallied again
later. May pork closed 15c higher at $S05;
May lard, about 122c higher at s4211a@4. 80;
May ribs, &c higher at S4.021ad4.05.
