WHEAT'S BIG RISE
NO SUCH ADVANCE HAS BEEN
KNOWN In THE MARKET
SINCE 1891.
FOREIGNERS BACK OF 1T.
MARKET FORCED UPWARD BY
THE SHEER POWER OF DE-
MAND AND SUPPLY
SPECTATORS HAVE BEEN WARY.
To That Cause May Ee Attributed
Their Failure to Profit by the
Rise.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.--The Times-Her-
aid tomorrow in it's review of the wheat
trade will say:
There has been no such wheat mar
ket as the present since 1891, when the
Russian crop failure advanced prices
about 80 cents per bushel, and resulted
in such an enormous export movement
of American grain.
That rise five years ago was started
up by the foreigners, and was in their
control for some months. Yet there
was a short interest at Chicago in that
year which fastened the rally along
and helped to make it's extreme prices.
The foreigners have not only been be-
hind this wheat advance this fall, but
it has been more completely their affair
than five years ago.
There has been a surprising absence
OF short interest all through the past
sixty days. The advance, for that rea-
son, has been slower and more regular
than if Partridge and Rosenkranz and
the old-time short selling contingent
had been alive and interested, and been
compelled at critical times to take back
their lines. This absence Of short in
tereSt has been one Of the circum-
stances which has kept the ordinary
professional hesitating about the ad-
vance and skepticaI about it's perma-
nency, he could remember so many rail-
lies on the mere running in of the short
seller end so few where a short in
tereSt had been altogether lacking, and
it is not remarkable under the cir
cumstances he has not profted by
the 20-cent rise already made. There
have been few operators who have
had the luck to intuitively feel the
situation, to believe the queer claims
of crop calamity from Argentine, Au-
stralia, India and Russia. and to even
believe the claims in regard to the
largely matter of luck with these
few fortunate ones. Claims just as
vehement have been made so before,
and then upset by the facts, it really
looked like wisdom to be skeptical this
year. It has not proved so. The trad
er who has "coppered" the news has
been left. The one who has sold on
the rallies has lost money. The man
who has kept looking for a short in
terest. and who has been bearish be-
cause it has not existed. has now moth
ing but regrets. The whole science Of
the pit this fall has been set at
Eaught Prices have been lifted by the
sheer force of demand. More than
half of the present gain was made be-
fore there seemed to be any increase
in the speculation. The farmer or the
grain trader who has had actual grain
has prof1ted by the rise, of course. but
the wild Western speculator who has
had most to do with the great markets
at Chicago has been as skeptical as
the shrewd scalper of the pit, and has
now as much to regret.

LONDON, :. Oct 10 Sir Edward
Clarke writes to the Times this morn

Sir Edward says that he did not sug-
gest that the Venezuelan question was

danger of delaying a settlement until

my dibelief in the truth of the accusa-
lions, for the purpose of showing the
serious elements of the danger if the

The Times says editorially Of the
above: "Sir Edward Clarkes letter is
an inadequate answer. He showed a
curious ignorance of the elements of
the controversy when he was attempt
ing to talk of 1t several months ago.
It is lamentable that a man who has

BISHOP ARNETT, OF OHIO.
Noted COIored Orator and Divine In
the Mill City.

Bishop B. W. Arnett, of Ohio, one of the
most prominent men in the African M. e.
Church of America, is in Minneapolis, and
yesterday preached three sermons to Mime
apolis congregations. In addition to beng
an enthusiastic church worker Mr.. Arnett
is also very much interested in politics, and
at one time was member of the legislature
in the state of Ohio. He has always worked
politically in the interests of the colored man,
and to him is credited the repeal of the OBJ
noxious black laws that existed in Ohio
prior to 1856. His figure was a prominent
one indeed in the legislature of that state.
and his ringing speeches in behalf of his
fellow colored man endeared him not only
to those directly interested and benefited by
the results of his efforts, but also to the fair
minded white men of his state.
Bishop Arnett preached in st. Peters M. E.
church, in the old court house, yesterday
morning. and in the afternoon and evening
occupied the pulpit Of st. James M. E.
church. Large congregations were present
at each service.

ARE you A BIcYcLIST7
II So, You Should Not Fail to Profit
by the Hints Given Below.


The discussions which have been going
on in the papers during the past months. as
to whether bicycle riding is a healthful
recreation, naturally attract wide atten-
ton. not only from bicyclists themselves,
but from their vast army Of friends, which
includes nearly everybody.
That reaction does result from the Wig
orous, often violent exercise in which BIZ
cyclists indulge, there can be no doubt but
it would seem to rest almost entirely with
the bicycllsts themselves, whether this re-
action shall be healthful one or otherwise.
If men or women allow their tensifed mus
cles to relax too quickly, 1t is injurious. If
they permit the pores of the skin to close
too suddenly, it is certainly injurious, often
fatal.
There can be no doubt that gentle stimu-
liant, both internally and externally, meets
this requirement better than any other. A
small quantity of pure whiskey taken in a
little water, and little undiIuted whiskey
rubbed externally, will counterfeit all possible
Ill effects. In this day of authorizations, 1t is
gratifying to know that so valuable an article
as Dufy's Pure Malt can be obtained so
readily and at such reasonable price, and
the number of bicyclists which the writer
has known who are using it successfully in
dicates that they have found it of unquestion-
able value.

The trouble being given the fire department

an occasional open box. The alarms of late

the mystery is as to the identity of the Of

the person holding one carefully marked
down. Two broken keys were found in box
locks. They were of an inferior grade, cheap

the person using a key to send In an alarm
cannot extract tho key until released by the
chief or his substitute. The offender wrenched
the release lock from Box 639 and carried 1T
away, evidently to make a key to fit 1t. The
officials are mystified as to causes prompting
the person to send in alarms. Evidently the

A close watch is being kept by the officials,
and if caught the offender will be severely
