CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Considerable disap-
pointment was shown by traders at the
opening in wheat over the Liverpool and
Paris cables, the advance in these mar
kets amounting to only about half the gain
here yesterday. Trade also took cognizance
OF the fact that the price here has advanced
cents in the last three days, and it seemed
to be the general opinion among specu!a-
tors that reaction was due. They had the
courage OF their belief. December wheat,
which closed yesterday at 1885, opened to-
day at 92'sM93 and unde" persistent ham
mering soon sold down to 91la. The arrivals
at Duluth and Minneapolis were 1916 cars,
against 1913 a week ago and 1885 last year.
The figures contradict yesterdays advices
of a falling off in farmers deliveries
Chicago receipts We're 81 cars. December
rallied to 92$4 on the statement of wheat
and flour in the United Kingdom. These
showed wheat stocks of only $4,000 quar-.
ters October 1st, against stocks July 1st
of 1,l06.OOO quarters, and flour stocks of
only 2i5,O sacks October 1st, against 455
600 sacks July 1st. This. accompanied by
reports of good export buying kept the mar
ket firm for some time. There was no
break in the drouth in the winter wheat
section, and clear weather was predicted
for the next thirty-six hours. There were
signs, however, of a breaking up of the
the latter part of the session was remark
able for the conservatism of traders, from
nothing more than these vague rumors.
Cincinnati Price Current estimated light
acreage seeded on account of the drouth.
Argentine reports were more discouraging
than heretofore and predicted no export
able surplus. Exports were large at S75,-
600 bushels for the day. Primary market
receipts were smaller at 1,O65,OoO bushels,
against 100000 bushels year ago. There
was a good business reported in cash
wheat. Duluth told of sales of $50 600 BUSH
els, with a probability of 600 bushels
more here in the near future. The market
was very quiet and heavy toward the close.
The weakness in corn, which continual
even when wheat showed strength, had a
depressing effect on traders and helped in
the gradual decline which took place. De
cember finally sold down to 91la and closed
at 915s.
Corn was quite weak Elevator people
were liberal sellers, indicating an increased
country movement, and there was appar-
emily no improvement in the demand. De-
cember ranged from 297s to 1875. closing q
lower, at 29A.
Speculative trade in oats was small and
for the most part fluctuations followed
the lead of corn. The market was at its
weakest toward the close. December
ranged from 1875 to 1875, closing 3s lower
at 19s4
Provisions were weak from the start
There was 10 cents decline in yard prices
and yellow fever news was of a more seri-
GUS character.

United States Life Insurance Company
in China. a.--Consul Read Of Tientsin. under
date of June 10. 1897. says:
l have the honor to call attention to the
fact that the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States has lately begun
to insure Chinese, which is a departure in
the right direction, as the Chinese higher
classes and officials take readily to the ne
dowment policies as a safe means of max
ing investments which cannot be touched
and upon which "squeezes" cannot be
levied. j. p. Grant, esq.,, the representa-
tive OF the Equitable, is now in Tintsin. I
introduced Mr.. Grant to the taotai, who was
much interested in the explanations of
modern forms of life insurance. Within a
few days after his arrival, Mr.. Grant in
sured Chang Yen-mow. the managing di-
rector of the Chinese Engineering and
Mining compay for 100, 900 taels, and has
written in other quarters 100000 taels Mr..
Grant states that before the closing of
The port for the winter he is confident of
writing 1.5O0,000 taels in Tientsin. That
China Is rich field for insurance is shown
by the fact that, with but intermittent
canvassing for several months, the Equit-
able has issued to the Chinese between
twenty-five hundred and three thousand
policies.-U. S. Consular Reports.

IT is now evident that the Republic
cans will not be able to control the sem
ate after the 4th OF March. In some
respects this is to be regretted, as their
campaign cry was for Mckinley and a
return to prosperity and they should
have an opportunity to demonstrate
their ability 10 bring about a changed
condition for the better if such a thing
were possible under their adminisTra-
ton. Without control of the senate
they cannot demonstrate the truth or
falsity OF their position and the claim
will be made that they were unable to
carry out their ideas.

bill back to conference to be amended 80

THE FLOOD WARRANTS.

The action OF tie board Of trustees in
ordering the payment OF the Flood war
rants Is meeting with determined oPpo-
sision from large number of tax, payers.
While the sincerity or honesty al pur
pose OF the majority is net questioned,
the general opinion prevails that the
hoard made mist Ike in not following
the opinion Of their legal adviser instead
ri that produced by the attorney of Mr..
McCarty, whose sole interest lay in the
payment ofthe warrants. Being mem
her OF the board and one OF the minority
0pposing the payment Of these warrants,
Il would i'll become us to offer any criti-
cisms impugning the motives OF the
majority; consequently we have, in
another column, given report OF the
proceedings OF the board and must leave
the public TO judge its actions. 1t is a
well known fact that the street against
which these warrants were issued was
not properly graded; that property
owners refused to pay their assessments
on this account: that there were irregu-
iar'ties in issuing the warrants: that
their legality has alwas been questioned
With these facts before it and the pros
poets OF legal complications coming mp
10 be settled the board acted wisely in
taking legal advice and, we believe, err
red in not following that advice in pref
erence to the opinion Of the counsel for
McCarty even though he dill cite several
rases to sustain his views. He was
working in the interest Of client. At
tOrney GOode had given an opinion
based on n study OF the case from both
sides. As the matter now STANDS the
treasurer has refused to pay the warrants
and suit will be necessary to enforce
their collection. Such an action will
certainly settle the matter.
