Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal.

Chicago, Oct. 3.
Wheat opened nearly a
cent off, initial sales of December being
made at 6874 Q6S1zc against yesterday g
closing price of 691se. Gables came
weaker than expected. and there was a
growing conviction that a good reac-
ton is due after the recent large ad-
vance. Northwest receipts were again
very heavy being almost as heavy as
those of last year. The market re-
ceived moderate support however. and
after selling at 6S1se. December gradu-
ally rose to 687sc, then reacted to 68ssc.
Foreigners were large sellers.
CORN-COrn opened easy and lower
in sympathy with wheat and with trad
ing much quieter than yesterday. May
opened &c lower at 2611c09 sc, declined
to 26c and reacted to 261gc-
OATS-Quiet and weak with wheat
and corn. May opened a full &c lower
at zoe and eased of to 1879 07sc
PROVISIONS-Pr Provisions opened
with recessions due to the presence of
outside selling orders and partly in
sympathy with the grain markets. At
ter the opening decline prices steadied
on covering by local shorts. January
pork opened TIC lower at S7.1755 and
declined to $40; January lard opened
23ac lower at s4-25 and declined to S4171s
January ribs opened sc lower at So. 55

Bids Called for and observation-disclosures

San Francisco. Oct IA circular has
been issued by Lieutenant Col. j. @.
Lee quartermaster general United
States army. asking for bids from all
the overland lines for the transporta-
ton of the troops which have been or
dered to New York and as the CON
tract calls for the transportation of
several hundred men and officers and
several hundred tons of freight, the
quartermaster's request for proposals
has created more excitement ia railroad
circles than has prevailed for many
years past
The fares between here and eastern
railroad centers where the general Off
ces of the interested lines are located
We're kept warm yesterday with per
mission to cut the rate.
Heretofore the Southern Pacific com
pany and the Seaboard Air Line have
managed to capture the big transporta-

and war departments and it is regard
ed as highly probable that the soldiers
from Preside and VIII 60 over the sun

q vigorous effort to get the business,
however and are determined not to lose
the prize without a fight The contract
wall be awarded today.

a Lie Travels Seven Leagues While
Truth is Putting On Ills Boots.


Topeka society is pretty well dis
gusted with itself just at present. Some
time ago a young man. Charles Huff.
stopped at Topeka. He represented
that he was the son of a millionaire
and he soon became a social swell. He
was honized. He took an the boys out
one night soon after he arrived i'm To-
pel1a. and they all swore by him after
wards. He spent money fast and soon
began getting goods on time claiming
to be waiting for a check from home
He was introduced to one Of the bellies
Of Topeka and paid her marked atten-
ton. She was considered lucky and
every one waited for the cards The
denouement came sooner than expect
ed. Creditors got tired waiting for that
check from home and closed in. Then
it turned out that Huff was a. convict:
that he had been released from Lam
sing on May s. When he struck To-
peka he had s754. and he soon spent
that Now Topeka society is going
around the corner and kicking itself
and avowing that no stranger can en-
ter its portals unless he has the proper
credentials. This only goes to show
that old friends are better to tie to
than new ones-Vichita Eagle
Charles Huff was never known to To-
peka society, and to precious few other
people, except a number of cigarette
smoking young men just out OF THEN
teens.
