LUCKY REPORTERS.
Hanna Gives Them Food and Solid Gold
 Medals.


 Medals
 New York, Nov. 7.-Mark A. Hanna gave 0 dinner tonight in the Hotel Wal dorf to thirty-one newspaper men of New York and Chicago, who had been em- ployed at headquarters in both cities chronicling events in one of the most exciting political struggles in the history of the country. Not only did ne give them dinner and a good one, but he also presented each reporter and corre- spondent with a medal of the size and value of a $20 gold piece and of absolute purity, in slight token as he expressed it, of the national republican committees appreciation of the ability and con- scientious way with which they per formed their duties.
 There was no discrimination of party in the presentation Reporters for the silver and for the gold papers were treated alike and the name of each re- cipient was engraved on the face of the medal. The medal was surmounted by a golden eagle with outstretched wings. on which were inscribed Mckinley and Hobart-sound money and protection.
 Replying to a toast to his health MT. Hanna said among other pleasant things: When began this campaign felt that I should be safe if only had the friend ship of the newspaper men. They gave me fresh inspiration every day during the campaign They came to me fresh from the people whom they had seen and. I must say. I forgot as much inforna- ton from them as they did from me. l know they have done their share fin writ- ing the story of the campaign and I am glad that am in it with them"

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-The bull temper of the wheat market was uncomfortable to- day. Strong at the start, it was stronger in the middle and it WAS trongest at the close. Yesterdays weakness was forgot ten and the sentiment underwent a complete and radical transformation. Everything in the way of news was called bullish and if it was not so literally it became so by argument anyway. All the professionals, prominent recently, were buyers today. Gu dahy, the admitted leader, when December t advanced from Bic to 79$ic was again at the head of the bull forces and the recognized taiers were with him. At 1 o'clock the climax was reached, December touching 7Sssc, advance of 412c from yesterday 8 close. December wheat opened from Toe ito 754c, sold between 743sc and 7S3sc closing at 7Sa7S@c-33s64c higher than yesterday Cash wheat was up cc.
 Corn was urged upwards by the strength of the speculative tone of the larger mar ket. May corn opened from 2S12c to 2S4sc sold between 2SAc and 29bc, closing at 29d9 29&c-$4n7sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was teady to 14c higher.
 Oats partook of the firmness of wheat but were lacking in activity so that prices moved in a sluggish manner. May oats closed 12M9sc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were firm to Ac higher The best that could be said of provisions was that they were steady. The run of hogs was light and that market was strong. This with the rising quality of wheat, suhced Be higher January lard unchanged and Jan> uary ribs 21sc higher

Cotton Letter.


 lk sNew York, Nov. "A rather dull week in fcoton had a dull ending today. The extreme Fluctuations were within a range of points Danuary opening under the influence of a Bower Liverpool at 795 December to 793 rallying to TBS, declining to 7.93, rallying to E.9S and closing at 7.96, with the tone quiet and steady. The favorable influence of the result of the election was more than offset on Wednesday by the enormous selling for foreign account straddles, the diff Terence in price between the New York and Liverpool markets affording a moder- ate but sure profit almost without any risk The influence of heavy receipts during the first of the week has prevented any sub- stantial recivery from the loss in values re- sulting from the straddle selling.
 New Orleans has been expecting depress- ing influence, some leading operators there increasing their crop estimates to over g. OOO,0O0 bales. We, ourselves, put little faith in the correctness of any such estimate, notwithstanding the heavy market we are now facing we cannot believe that the re- ceipts for the rest of the season will equal those for the corresponding period of last season. But even if they should be the same the crop would still be less than S. OO0,000 bales The average weight of the bales took is several pounds less than in '94 and'95. Spinners everywhere are nar- Towly watching the crop development and phless theSe should De indications or a much larger yield than S0O0,000 or even $500, 900 bales it is generally conceded that prices will go higher To our mind, the most se- rious menace to the market at the moment is that there are too many bulls waiting to sell out their holdings at a profit and who If they cannot get profit will presently get tired and unload at a loss irrespective of what the market may heretofore do No matter what the intrinsic merits of cotton may be every trader knows that the first effect of this general unloading process will be to cause sharp and accelerating decline. Having in view the danger of such slump we are inclined to advise our friends not to be carried away by the bull enthusiasm, but upon any hardening in values to sell their holdings We think the chances are that they will be able to replace them at lower prices, but everything will depend on the receipts RIORDAN & co.

THE NEW WOMAN IN THE RING

Verify, this Is a rapid age of strange in- novatfons, and 1t Is the unexpected that most frequently occurs. The latest reve- lation in this direction Is the appearance of the new woman in the great Forepaugh & Sells Brothers aggregated circus as ringmaster and clown, and the way she cracks whips and jokes and cuts capers in her bifurcataed unmentionables puts her dethroned masculine predecessors completely in the shade. In fact, 1t may be said:
 when lovely woman stoops to folly"
 She does 1t up to date as clown. She drives away Ioathed melancholy.
 And fills the tent and owns the town.

Cleveland O., Nov. Frank Rocke- feller has gone to the Lake Superior mn- ing district to arrange for an immediate resumption of work in all departments of his extensive mining interests there. Among the iron mines which. beginning within few days, will be operated full force and full time, are the Franklin, Bessemer No. 1, Bessemer No and Vic toria, on the Mesaba range; the Zeenith on the Vermilion range, and the Atlantic and Pence on the Gogebic range. They employ 1,500 men. It is also expected that within the next few days orders will be given for @ resumption of work at all the mines controlled by John D. Rockefeller and which give employment to even a greater number of men than those owned by his rbother, making altogether 1000 men who will be put to work.
