About noon the market grew strong.
The price of December had in the

there it picked fts way up and rose
steadily to 941z @949s. The recovery was
due to the enormous amount of the

NO REASON FOR DECLINE.

and in two minutes more it was down
70 1914. There was no statistical rea-
son for the decline. 1t was apparently
due to total lack of support, scarcely
any demand appearing until 1914 had
been touched, A recovery to cd thcn
ensued But during the next two hours
the bearishness that succeeded the mo-
rentary opening bulge became more
pronounced and the price suffered ac-
cordingly. The market broadened as
the price sank, and with such evidence

However, the Market Was Puzzling
to Many Operators.

Chicago, Sept 15.--Wheat was a puz-
zle at the opening. It was difficult to
account for the &c advance with which
the market started, the Liverpool mar
ket. which usually influences the open
ing tone of this market, showing an
opening decline Of z@Ad. 1t was
claimed in a dispatch from Minneapolis
that the threshing- returns in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota indicated a crop
for the three states of not to exceed
125.00O.000 bushels. but there was not
much confidence here in such a low
estimate. Paris was reported from 10
To Is ce.ltimes higher at the opening,
and the advance here was ascribed by
some people to that But the opening
strength quickly faded.

sioner McNall to restrain him from re.
voking the license Of that company or
in any other way interfering with It's

Nall from in any way interfering with

action Of business in Kansas; the other
restraining him from enforcing his or

McNall says he will ignore Judge

and as the state was backing him in
the fight, he would make it warm for
any agent Of the Metropolitan company
