KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 2'.-The
Kansas City market very quickly fol-
lowed the Chicago advance. Prices
went up to cents Hard wheat
sold as high as 90 cents and near the
close a car of soft wheat sold at 9s
cents. There was an active demand
for all the wheat offered The price
of % cents for No. Z soft wheat was
so near the dollar mark that the feel
ing was general that it might sell at
a dollar at any time At St Louis No.
2 red wheat sold at dollar bushel.
Receipts here to-day were 315 cars
only ten less than those of last Friday.
They are decreasing very slowly.
which is very remarkable for it ha
been the experience in previous years
that big advance in prices leads
farmers to hold their wheat for still
higher prices. Kansas farmers have
sold at least l2, 900, 900 bushels already
"a quarter of the estimated crop-and
the wheat movement has been under
way only month. In some parts of
the state the crop has hardly com
menced to move yet, and the best
kosted grain men on the floor are of
the opinion that Kansas has raised a
good deal more than 0,000,0 900 bushels
of wheat.

grand stand fell at the Il. A. w. state
circuit bicycle races here yesterday.
Four thousand people packed the tenn
porary structure and during the third
race, without warning, a section of
the grand stand gave way, throwing
500 people to the ground. No one was

pect so large crowd. The grand
stand was poorly constructed, The
supports being only two by six inch
planks, and not we'll braced. During
the amateur event, the demonstrations
OF the riders friends became bolster

the chapel, saying he was comfortable
enough in his cell.
An executioner from Bourges per-

to repent, to which Angiolillo re-
sponded: ''Since you cannot get me
out of prison, leave me in peace. l

The method of punishment is common
in Spain and Spanish America. A

ADVANCE IN EVERY MAR
KET BUT PARIS.
Gain of o Cents in Chicago-Greatcr
Activity in tho Pit Than Before Since
the Days of "Old Hutch'-"Doilar
Wheat" at Many Markets.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-h heat scored a
sensational advance yesterday at every
market in the world with the excep-
ton of Paris. During the regular ses-
sion of the Chicago board of trade,
September wheat gained 5$Sc and De-
cember SAG On the curb after reg
ular hours another advance of cents
was made, September selling freely at
96 cents.
The wheat pit on change presented
scene of activity the like of which
has not been witnessed since the
palmy days of b. P. Hutchinson,
Familiarity known as "0ld Hutch. "
The advance was by no means mere
ly Chicago bulge. Liverpool started
it, the English markets showing a
gain equivalent to 419@4Ic per bush
ell. Every American market followed
the example, New York gaining 59Sc,
st. Louis 4c and the Northwestern
markets &C. The strength of the En-
glish markets was attributed to I'M
settled weather and covering by
shorts. The official report of the Hun
garian crop, showing it the smallest
in ten years, might have had some in :
fiuence. Beerbohm, the noted English
statistioian, estimated European ne

1875, 900, 900 bushels of that amount re-
quired from America.

markets passed the dollar marx. That
was the case at Minneapolis, New
York, Buffalo, Baltimore and st.
Louis. The cash premiums here even
increased to Sc over the September OPP
ton.

Co. s Weekly Review says:
mot for five years have the tele-

in the future is strong and increasing.
Nothing appears to check it. Rumors
of in jury to the crops are not sutfi-

is the strike of bituminous coal min
