Wheat Goes Down.

CHICAGO, Oct % December wheat
took aoother big tumble on the board OF
trade to-day and the wild excitement
on change which accompanied the COL
lapse bordered on panic. There was
fall Of 4a cents from yeeterdays clos
ing price, exceeding the advance for
any day since the sensational upward
movement began iu this country and
abroad. Late 10 the day there was
recovery. The highest point during
the morning session was 744a cents
The closing price vas 703 osO's. To-
wards the closing hour, the slump was
SO rapid that drops Of a cent aud more

had joined Amour in unloading his
holdings. Thousands of bushels were
dumped 90 the market. but there were
20 buyers Who could keep peace With
the quantity offered. There were some
heavy losses. The main cause Of the
decline was said to be failure to secure
advances from the banks for buying
cash wheat.
Within half an hour after the open
log the price Of December went down
23 cents, aud the inexorable banker
was blamed for refusing TO lend money
on any terms. The demand for money
overshadowed all talk Of foreign short<

from Australia and Russia. Cash
wheat sold below futures, AID the price
Of the former declined from 6 to cents
before traders we're allowed a b: eatbing

Armour said that ebe key to the stu

that the price of cash wheat was pull

BRYAN WILL LECTURE.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Ut
has been definitely arranged
that w. ]. Bryan is to take the
lecture platform and his first
address will be deli cred at
Atlanta, Ga, early in >ecem-
Der. His route as far IS it has
been arranged will 9e, after
leaving Atlanta, to Jacksonville
Savannah, Charleston,S Angus
ia, Birmingham and New Or
leans. s
After leaving the latter city
Mr.. Bryan will go through Tex
as, then on to California and
Oregon, and will not feach the
cities Of the East before the
latter part of February. The
man behind the enterprise is
V. Z. McBec Of Norfolk, Va.
He is at present the superin-
tendent Of the Seaboard Air
Line. On election night Mr..
McBee, who had been hard
worker for the Bryan ticket,
wired to this city offering Mr..
Bryan a very large sum for the
lectures in case the election
should go against him. No
attention was paid to the offer
at the time by Mr.. Bryan, but
after the defeat Of the Demo
cratic ticket had been formally
acknowledged by the Demo
cratic leaders Mr.. McBee once
more renewed his offer and the
result is that MIR. Bryan has
made a contract for i series Of
lectures under the management
OF Alexander Comstock, who
is the representative and asso-
ciate Of Mr.. McBee in the en-
terprise. The terms Of the
agreement from a financial
standpoint have not been made
public, but it is reliably under
stood that the remuneration
which MIR. Bryan is to receive
will exceed the salary he would
have received as President of
the United States in the event

his strength viii be thrown to the Mis-
souri, man, and he receives the Vice
Presidential nomination in return. He
as positively refused to enter into
this combination, and declares with
emphasis that he is the candidate for
the first place or none at all. He be-
lives that he holds the solution of the
yeXatiOus problem, and is not disposed
to abandon his point of vantage.
Among others who conferred with
Mclean to-day was Whitney, who,
unlike many of the Eastern delegates,
is disposed to make the best of what
is to him a bad bargain, and nomi-
nate the man who is least objec-
tionable to the East. As a
matter of fact it would be something
Of q victory for Whitney if he were
able ITO return to New York and tell
his people that although a free silver
platform had been adopted, he had
been able to place at the head of the
ticket a man of immense wealth, idcn-
titled with large interest, and in other
respects a man who might be trusted
to afford conservative administration
if elected On the other hand, quite a
number of the Eastern delegates assert
that they will not vote for any silver
man, no matter who he may be, and
until Mr. Whitney is able to bring them
to his way of thinking, 1T is by no
means certain THAT he can bring even
the entire gold vote to Mr.. McLean's
support.

BRYAN A DARK HORSE.

Half dozen other candidates are be
ing mentioned to-day in the eNpecta-
ton that deadlock will occur in the
convention. Prominent among these is
eX-Congressman William J. Bryan, the
silverI5ongued orator of the plains,
who lis Altgeld's protege. 1t will be
remembered that when the Illinois
silver Democrats held their conference
year or more ago, they placed Bry-
ans name in nomination. and the STORY
is to-day that Altgeld is ready and will
ing to throw his support to Bryan, IN
case BANDS nomination appears TO be
impossible after two or three ballots.
Illinois will go to Bland at the start
and if he can win, it Will stay by him.
There is trouble in the Illinois delega-
ton, however. Both Altgeld and Hin
richsen are sqabbling as TO who shall
be in control. Hinrichsen is for Bland
and so are majority of the delegates,
but Altgeld is anxious to figure as y
Warwick. and if he can create a stam-
pede at any moment he may be relied
upon to do it.
There is an undercurrent of talk to-
day. too. about Stevenson, and it is said
that the Senatorial syndicate. having
found Teller unpalatable to the South
ern men, will try TO land the Vice
President at the head of the ticket
even without the direct aid of the Llli-
nois contingent. There is gossip. too.
of Morrison and Campbell, and while
Epither of these may come within a
thousand miles of the nomination, the
fact that they are to-day being consid-
cred as possibilities affords the best
evidence of the mixed condition of
affairs. All this uncertainty and bick-
ering is nuts and raisins to the gold
men They want to see the Bland men
and the Boies men, the Teller men and
the Blackburn men, get into a deadly
melee and pull the scratch as much as
is possible with party usage. The
greater the rivalry between silver cam
ddates the more influential and inn
portant becomes the three hundred
gold votes. If the nomination can be
kept off for several ballots, If the con-
vention engages IN the tiring-out pro-
cess. and ballots have to be taken with
fruitless results. some one candidate
may be only too happy to be led out
of the maze by following he despised
yellow trail.

BITTERNESS BETWEEN CANDI
DATES


The developments of the day in this
matter of the candidates have demon
strated an extreme bitterness between
Bland and Boies. The two men are
doing their best through their mana
gers to eat each other up. The Bland
people want conference before the
convention and an agreement from all
the other candidates to support the
man whose strength was shown to be
the greatest at this preliminary meet
ing. To this proposition the Boies
men are naturally averse, and so earn
est is their opposition that at this
writing it does not appear that we'll
laid scheme to finish the work of the
convention in two days is apt to re-
suit in success. Not only this, but if
the statements made to me by the
Boies people this afternoon are correct
they would rather see Bland and Boies
both go down together than to con-
tribute in any way to the success of
the former. I asked Capt. Evans the
direct question, whether, if Bland
were in the lead, and his nomination
could be secured by the support of
the Boies men, this support would be
granted and a nomination of an out
anu OuD SllNtT HILL ulduc JoSSlDlc WlUn-
out reference to the vote of the East
ern gold men.
The reply was emphatically and de-
cidedly in the negative. 'We will vote
for Boies until he is nominated or
defeated" was the answer to my ques-
ton.
If this is to be the programme the
outlook becomes decidedly interest
ing 1t will take GOA votes to nominate
and none of the candidates can yet
figure within 275 or 300 of this number.
TT is this condition which brings to the
surface to-day more talk of a dark
horse candidate than has yet been
sheard.
OVERTURES TO M'LEAN.
1t is tbs condition, too, that makes
Mr.. McLean's friends so confident.
They seem to think, as was indicated
in these dispatches last night, that in
the event of a deadlock their candi-
date stands most excellent show. Mr..
Mclean is beyond doubt a factor in
the situation. This is shown by the
fact that he has been waited upon by
Mr.. BANDS representatives and asked
to enter into combination whereby
