India Taking American Wheat-Unusually

Failures,
New YORK, Oct l0-R, G.. Dun &
CO. Weekly Review of Trade says:
Distinctly better conditions of trade have
appeared Of late and are rejecting In some-
what larger employment Of labor, in larger
transactions and in continued buying OF mate
rails for manufacturing. great part Of the
change is due to those restless laws OF supply
and demand which take wheat where it is
wanted and gold where it is wanted, India is
waiting for cargoes Of wheat on the way from
Pacific states, just as Australia and South
America were not so long ago. The surplus
usually available soon disappears and the sur
plus from Russia and European countries is
reduced according to late estimates, u, 900, 600
bushels
Happily, this country has supply which
official accounts have not correctly measured
II actual movements do not greatly mislead
Western receipts for the week were 7,249,ON0
bushels, against 73,l,4H last week and this
follows an increase Of ll.O0l 1000 bushels In re-
ceipts during the quarter ending September 81
Atlantic exports, 2,059U7l bushels, -four In

are not yet so large as to force prices upward
II European buying based on European needs
did not control our markets
feature OF large Importance, too, is the
unusually large foreign demand for corn,
which is rarely failing sign Of deficient crops
abroad, where other grains are used instead
when wheat becomes scarce and dear.
Failures for the week were 300 In the United
States against s6s last year, and 40 in Canada,
against So last year.

Secretary Morton announced that an

pensions The pension payments this
month will probably be lighter than
during September, as some drafts were
then made which were not disbursed
until this month. The cash balance Of

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Oct. 10.-That

able that all great things should close

City's biggest eek, which was rounded
out most tittfngly by Kansas City's
best civic institution, her fire DEPART
ment. The blaze, what is more, was
not fgment Of the Imagination, but
was the real thing, and the depart
ment, which started it, also quenched
it in the most approved style Of the
art. Although last on the list OF the
weeks festivities, the fire department
exhibition was by no means
least In fact, it was one of
the finest of the many fine things
offered to Kansas City and her many
visitors this fall. The fremen did
themsel yes proud; they showed the
stuff that Kansas City's fire fighters
are made Of, and Kansas City is proud
Of them. The crowd in the streets
where the exhibition took place was
suffocating and the police force was
powerless to control it Several per.
sons were trampled on and injured and
it is miraculous that fatalities i'd not
result.
The bicycle road race, under the aus.
pieces of the Kansas City Cycle Dealers
association, was run over the Waldo
park course in the presence of more
than 5000 people yesterday afternoon.
A. Koebelt finished first and won the

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. Com.
plete returns from l6 counties in
Florida and partial returns from %
other counties indicate that W. D.
Bloxham's plurality for governor will
be about $4,000. This is several thou
sand less than the earlier estimates
and below the confident predictions of
most OF the democratic leaders during
the campaign. The figures show q
considerable falling off in the demo-
cratic vote in comparison with 1892.
In that year Gov. Mitchell received 49,
064 votes and Mr.. Baskin, the populist
candidate, 5000 Mitchelrs majority
being 30, 755
