KEEPS CLOSE TO 80 CENTS
Review OF the Wheat Market-Little
Doubt that Winter Wheat
is Short.

Chicago H., Oct. 16.-The range of
wheat during the past week has been
rather narrow. 23s cents defining the linn
its. The market has stayed close to the
90-cent mark. most Of the time, however,
above that figure. The range was be-
figure being touched Tuesday, while the
highwater mark for the week was
reached Thursday. Yesterdays closing
figures, 913s to 911b cents, were but :}-16
cent below the figures of a week ago.
Important factors during the week have
been the breaking of the drouth and the
extreme weakness of corn on the one
hand and enormous export engagements
and considerable falling off In North
west and local receipts on the other. The
market during the early part of the week
sold off. General rains over the drouth-
infected district brought welcome relief,
and, followed by the government crop re-
port, which intimated IL largely increased
winter wheat area, provoked quite gener-
al selling.
Private reports on the winter wheat
condition. however, did not agree with
the governments. 1t was claimed by
many that the winter wheat crop for
1898 will not be more than two-thirds of
the average, and the belief in the cor
rectness of these figures was strength
ened during the latter part of the week
by the Modern Miller'S report and the
estimates of President Hill of the Grea t
Northern road.
Undoubtedly the wheat market would
have scored more of an advance over the
low figures of the early part of the week
had it not been for the weakness dis
played by corn. A renewal of the drouth
complaints, especially from Kansas,
where the rains were reported to have
been too light for any material benefit,
caused considerable covering by shorts
and developed the fact that the market

Arthur Zimmerman's earnings during
the season of 1892 amounted to $25, 900.
it has been claimed. and this amount
stands as record. Some of the ''kings"
of the circuit win thousands but prob
ably none as much as this. Jimmy Mi
chael receives the largest salary of any
racing man in America, and some idea
of his outside earnings may be gained
from the fact that in his race with Nc
Duffie he won 5000, $4,000 in his race
with Starbuck, $500 at Springfield, So
coo in the three-cornered Boston race
and $500 in his last race in the East.
1t is estimated that it takes $4,000 to
meet the expenses of the forty-odd rae
ing men who follow the national circuit
for one season, and adding to this the
prize moneys and gate receipts the total
will exceed $1,0CO,0OO. Then for the
last two years the cost of cycle tracks
will probably augment this sum twice as
much more.
