CITYS FINANCIAL NECESSITIES
What the Different Boards Want for the Coming
Year and What They Received Last Year---The
Increased Demands Amount to $25o.ooo,
But They May Not Be Allowed.

The appropriations last year amounted
to s., 0S6,47 So; the estimates consequently
show an Increased demand for s25o.729.o6.
The Finance Commissioners have decided
to keep the appropriations down to the
narrowest margin and it Is said only
such sums will be allowed the several de-
partments as will permit the economical
administration of affairs.
1t IS probable that in addition to the
money raised for the different Departments
there will be inserted In the tax levy
a substantial amount to make up any
deficiency which may occur by reason of
a temporary supply of water.
The following table shows wha the sew
eral boards received last year and what
they ask for the coming fiscal year

This is the first prediction which
Chairman Kurtz has made concerning
the election in Ohio. Numerous state
ments have been attributed to him,
but none of them have been authentic,
The magnitude of the vote claimed
by Mr. Kurtz can best be understood
when it is stated that two years ago
Hon. S. NJ. Taylor, republican candi-
date for secretary of state, received a
majority of $1,000, his plurality being
1S7. 900 Brough's majority for governor
in 1868 was 1OO.SS2. Kurtz says he does
not care to give any figures at this time,
but may do so before election. 1t is fig
ured that the vote in the rural precincts
win stand about the same as last year,

majorities for Mckinley,

AND CURRENCY
Rise in the Price Of Cereals Likely to
Cause Much Suffering.

no Matter What the Result Of the Elec-

London, October a.--The wheat and
currency questions are still attracting
great attention here. The Spectator
this week publishes an interesting ar
ticle on the rise in wheat and II bear
ing on protection and bimetallism. in
the course of which It says:
The rise in the price Of bread is like
ly TO soon lead to unrest in the labor
market. The present activity in trade
gives labor organizations a favorable
opportunity for expressing demands for
higher wages. but It remains to be seen
how far the recent improvement In
trade can be maintained, II a material
rise in wages Is insisted upon. There
are endless possibilities OF friction II
the price OF bread becomes a serious
question. We can only hope the poll
ticians who are coquetting with the va
rious forms OF protection will learn to
digest the lessons that will be expound-
ed by events II the price Of bread is
materially affected during the coming
winter.
How should we fare now II the es-
tablishment Of an imperial zollverein
forced us to look to the home produc-
tion and the Canadian surplus to I'll
our own mouths and for the needs Of
India? From a financial point of view
the rise in cereals shows a strong case
for further large movements Of gold to
the United States. while, regarding pol
itics. whatever the result, shipments of
gold from here are still probable in
one case because the panic and scram-
ble for gold viii make Americans sell
faster and pay premium for the metal
and in the other a revival Of industrial
aetivity and the return OF confidence
viii attract British bullion
Lastly, the rise in wheat and the ac-
companying weakness of silver have an
instructive bearing upon economic theo-
ry Not only Bryan. but English bimet-
allists, also, are deprived Of one of their
most effective arguments"
Indian prices show that now. whether
rain falls or not. there must be keen
distress in the northwest provinces and
in Dude, and the Indian government
must be prepared to succor the popula-
tion.
Orders have already been given to
the officials to prepare for the immedi-
ate enforcement Of famine measures.
While famine is threatened in India
through the drought the west of Ire
land is declared to be face to face with
famine. owing to heavy rains which
have caused the failure Of crops. espe-
cially potatoes. Throughout September
and during the beginning of October
there was an almost incessant down
pour Of rain. There have been great
floods in the northwest Of Ireland.
Many of the people must feel the pangs
of famine before Christmas. The situa-
tion is compared to that of 1879, when
disastrous harvest led to the revival
of political disorders in Ireland.

BOTH PARTIES
CLAIM VICTORY
Bat Chairman Jones Admits Illinois
Is Doubtful State.
LAST APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE
Both National Committees Claim the
Election for Their Candidate and
Say the Victory Is Won.

Chicago. October S1.-The campaign
in the Middle Western states for tho
most part came to an end tonight In
Chicago and Cook county, where the
heat Of the fight has been. the rounding
up Of the candidates was finished this
evening and the last speeches were
made. Both parties claim to be sure Of
the result and express confidence that
the count Tuesday night will show a
large majority for their men.
The only concession that has been
made in the estimates Of either party
Is the assertion OF Chairman Jones that
Illinois is a doubtful state. He has
always claimed it heretofore as certain
for Bryan. Chairman Jones says that
Bryan has at least 252 votes in the
electoral college. and that nothing can
take them from him. Chairman Hanna
is far more sweeping In his estimates
Of Major McKinley's respects and says
that the Ohio man will have not less
than 81 votes and others may come
later
Both chairmen issued today their last
appeals to the people and say that they
have the victory already won and an
that remains is to cIinch the matter by
the counting Of votes.
In the matter Of congressman. mem
bers Of the state legislature and smaller
offices OF the ticket the claims are OF
the same nature. The campaigns In the
Middle West and particularly In the
Upper Mississippi Valley have been Of
the most determined character on both
sides. 1t has been the center fighting
ground and neither party has spared
any effort to win.

WHEAT ROSE. THEN FELL
Opening Price Was Good, but Gradual
ly the Market Weakened.


Chicago. October a-The influence Of
the strength displayed by wheat on the
open board yesterday afternoon. when
the price Of December touched "a cents.
was still felt at the opening today. not
withstanding the fact that quotations
from Liverpool showed almost an entire
absence Of sympathy with Fridays ad-
vance on this side of over cent per
bushel. The opening prices for Decem-
Der ranged from 7sA to 7Sh cents. but.
after the opening furry. the tendency
for an hour or so was downward and
a gradual and irregular decline to Tx
resulted. Heavy offerings caused tie
decline. Many brokers were asking five
and ten-cent margins to carry wheat
lines oyer the election. as the Monday
market viii have a decidedly holiday
aspect. The result was that good
deal Of wheat was offered for sale. For
a time the market took offerings read
lily. but finally the demand slackened
and prices weakened.
When this was disposed Of. however.
another advance to 72B took place This
was due more than anything else to
light northwestern receipts. After that
advance the rest of the market almost
died out, The close was 729s6l729s cents.
