Saturday night last a number of
young men of this city who stand
high in society" got On what in COM
drunk" and were quite obstreperous
1t had been stated that their case had
been brought before the police court,
but Judge Gunnell says no complaint
was filed. Right here we want to say
that there should be no discrimina-
ton in favor of any man because of
his social pc sition. If these boys, who
are sons of respectable parents, have
been guilty of breaking the law they
should be treated as any other, law
breakers. Their social position, and
their boosted qualities of mice young
men" should not be used as shield
to protect their wrong doing. If they
were drunk and disorderly they ought
to be made to pay the same penalties
that others have paid for the same
offenses.
Mrs. Lydia A. Scott. of the second
ward, died at her home on Tuesday
morning, Sept. 14th, at the age of 81
years. Mrs. Scott was sufferer with
consumption, and for the past few

her death was therefore not unexpect-
ed. She leaves an aged husband who

ON 'CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Not in many weeks
has Wall street seen so dull day as this
1t was offered as an explanation that the
eve of the Jewish Day of Atonement called
many of the brokers and operators from
the street. But there was. apart from this,
manifest disposition to refrain from
trading and to leave the market to lie
fallow for a time. Yesterdays sharp re-
action apparently admonished the bulls
that conditions are not yet ready for
resumption of the advance. The favorable
factors which developed during the day,
although they affected for a time the in
dividual stocks to which they applied. were
Ineffective to cause a general advance.
and prices of most stocks closed lower
tonight. Union Pacific was exceptionally
firm. and practically recovered from yes
terday's decline, owing to the diScredit at
tached to the reports of an English syndi-
Gates intention to outbid the reorganza-
tion committee at the approaching fore
closure sale. Louisville and Southern pre-
ferred We're sustained by their good show
ing of earnings. All of the traffic state
ments at hand showed notable increase in
earnings but not all the stocks of the
roads affected derived any benefit Union
Pacific was assisted as we'll by a report
that its differences over the traffic ex-
change with the Oregon Short Line had
been adjusted. and the latter stock was
eNi7o
activity centered in the specialties. and
the trading in them was largely based on
vague rumors that had nothing to do with
the general situation.
Actual rates for sterling exchange fell
ls for sight and 4 for long This led to
increased talk of early gold imports. In
this connection it is interesting to know
that today's statement of the weeks ex-
port of general merchandise shows a de-
crease of $4SO.773 from last week, while
that weeks imports, it will be remem-
bered, increased s1,SS2.3s4 over the preced-
ing week
Additional deposits of gold which were
received from San Francisco were made
at clearing house bank today, and the
continued increase of the gold reserve in
the United States treasury, even in the
face of an excess in the disbursements
over the receipts. Is additional evidence
of the abundant supply of gold at present
in the country.
There was a falling off in the activity of
the bond market, but prices for the most
part were steady and in some cases strong.
The total sales were $1.400.000. United

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Drought at home and
strong markets abroad were the influence
which were uppermost in the wheat mar
ket when business began today. Buyers
took hold with more confidence while
short sellers and in fact. all kinds of sell
ers, We're inclined to be more cautious The
Liverpool cables opened at an advance
of sd over last nights close and subse-
quently advanced to Id above yesterdays
closing prices. In the pit. there were buy
ing orders for December wheat coming
direct from Paris, though any quantity
thus brought was not large enough to
attract attention. The predictions for fair
weather for the next thirty-six hours in
all of winter and spring wheat territory
was very disappointing to those who had
expected yesterdays light showers in the
northwest would become heavier and ex
tend down into the winter wheat country.
The fact that northwest receipts were
large was not sufficient to offset the effect
of the dry weather. The closing advance
in Paris was equal to rs cents. Liverpool
was up to He'd. and Antwerp IL cents.
Today's seaboard engagements were re-
ported at sixty-eight boatloads The
weekly report of the Great Northern road
confirmed those of q large number of re-
ports that their showing returns had a
disappointing effect and the previous esti-
mates would have to be reduced. A very
sharp squirt in the price at Duluth gave
color to the stories. 1t grew very strong
toward the close due to the firmness of the
foreign markets. December sold up to 91ss
and closed firm at that price.
Corn was in sympathy with wheat and
good buying 1t closed &c higher
Oats were firm, affected somewhat by the
wheat advance but also largely by the
draught. The demand dropped Off later
and part of the advance was lost.
Provisions were very slow. The opening
was lower because of liberal receipts of
hogs here and the lower yard prices. The
