SENSATIONAL DROP IN
ALL MARKETS.
CAME DOWN WITH A RUSH.
Cents-Chicagc Prices Are Around
90 Cents-Very Weak Market at
Kansas City-Corn Market
Also Rreaks-Prices Down
21-2 Cents.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 25-Prices
of wheat went down to-day about as
fast as they went up on ny day dur
ing the big advance. There was
drop Of to cents in Chicago prices.
The market started as if it was going
to recover the ground that was lost
yesterday and September wheat sold
rs high as 80 cents, or 2 cents above
yesterdays close Then there was
precipitious decline to 94]a cents,
a moments halt and then an
other drop to 81 cents a
slight recovery at the close
from bottom prices. The chief cause
of the decline was a big drop in Liver
pool prices. The market closed to
~ pence lower than yesterdays de-
cline equal to about cents bushel
Paris quoted even a greater slump
There were selling orders in Chicago
from all European markets, and a
great lot Of selling was done by hold
ers of wheat who would not realize
profits on yesterdays market. 1t was
asserted, too, that some shrewd traders
like John Cudahy, we're selling wheat
short.
The situation was great deal
worse on the Kansas City market than
in Chicago. Exporters have evidently
filled their short sales, and they could
not do any new business with Europe
SO they were not doing anything.
There was some buying by shippers
and elevator men, but it was at con-
stantly declining prices; bard wheat
finally sold &C below the last price
yesterday and 1l15 cents under Satur-
days tip top price. Low sales of hard
wheat to-day were s415 cents. Soft
wheat suffered still more. No one
seemed to want it. few urgent mill
orders were filed Yesterday morning
at 81 and $1.O1. To-day the price was
80 cents
The great drop in prices during the
past two days will entail heavy losses
on country shippers who have bought
wheat from the farmers at the high
prices and will have to sell now at a
decline. But such losses are more
than offset by the gains which coun-
try shippers have been making for a
month past.
Following the big drop in wheat
prices there was decline of IA cents
in the Chicago corn market.

Millionaire Benjamin Douglass, aged
Is, wants to marry his servaut girl,
Louise kretzler, aged 36, and society
is shocked. The news came out
through the issuance of the marriage
license several days ago. Those who
who are interested in proven ting
Douglass from marrying have CONTRA
oicted the statement that marriage
license has been issued, but the record
at the court house is silent witness
to the fact. Though the license has
been issued, there has been no wed :
ding, and there is little likelihood Of
one taking place, as the intended bride
has been induced to pack her trunk
and leave the town.
