strong cables, the local wheat market opened
hlgher this morning, first prices being nc
over Yesterdays close. Trading was verv
active during the first hour and at times
excited with prices huctuaJing RAPIDLY with
the tendency upwards till clear &c advance
over yesterday was scored. At this noint
there was halt and for about a half an hour
the market ruled very stubborn. The major
lty OF the trade thought it was a good time
to sell for scalp, but were afraid to do So
The fact is good many operators are feeIino
very nervous about their position and wonI5
like to see good break now than later on
IL IS hardly probable however that any seri-
GUS break VIII occur while the cash stuff soils
at such premium. The news of the dav was
rather meager, the trade at all points being
too busy to attend to minor gossip
First cables quoted Liverpool Sentenhar
wheat at Id higher, second cables quoted an
additional Id advance, and third cables re-
ported decline of I'D with a tendency to
decline still further. London cables renorted
strong cargo markets, at Cd per quarter ad-
vance. This is the first time that London
has appeared to be awake as to what is 90
ing on. Paris cables reported good advances
for. August wheat, and September unchanged
and French country markets firm. Continent
tai cables generally came in strong, but &C
tual purchases were light because of the ex-
IRENE premium asked and higher freight
rates. New York reported that foreigners
were re-selling In that market, and bears out
the suggestion made in these columns yes
terday that prices, if forced too high, would
certainly check the advance. Clearances
from the SeaDoard are SAID to be very large
again today. Fall reports are not in at this
writing. San Francisco reported strong mar
kets there: partly in sympathy with Chicago
but that the shipping demand had fallen off
The governments report. as usual, is subject
to much criticism, and, as a rule, inter
preted to mean pretty nearly whatever the
critic is inclined to believe. One thing is

Is larger than at any time since 1859. The
outlook for the future of prices never looked

deal of the present advance is due to exagger-
ated accounts of crop damages. Every one
acmlts that the crop in the Northwest is not
UP to the promise of a month ago. but that
IS no reason for saying that the crop should
be cut in two, because it does not reach the

NEW YORK, Aug. lion top of yester-
in wheat prices today. The bulls had entire
control of the market from start to finish.
Several times the bears attempted to raid the
market in an effort to scare out long stuff,
but they found prices like a rock, and each
time were obliged to cover at considerable
loss. Buyers were plentiful all day, encour-
aged by the sensational advance OF 2421sd In
Liverpool prices and 1.20f in Paris, four fig
ures that created in the minds of bull traders
visions of further export demand on con-
tinued heavy scale.
The bulls said September would go to 81
a blu in New York before the present bull
movement was ended. On this theory the
country were heavy Foreign houses bought
in the local market and reports OF big export
business again at seaboard points spurred
bulls on in the afternoon to even greater
efforts. The business actually confirmed,
however, was only 125 900 bu, although 70
loads were reported here and at out ports

CREAM CITY BOODLING.
AIdern POIachek Charged With
Attempted Bribery.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 11.-Complaint
was filed today against Assemblyman
Charles Polachek, charging him with
attempted bribery, and a warrant serv-
ed this afternoon. This is a result of
the sensation sprung yesterday when
Aid. Elkert made the statement that he
had been offered $500 for his vote in
favor Of the Wisconsin Rendering COM
pany by Polachek. Judge Wallber re-
fused to call a grand jury, but the
common council will probably order an
investigation. The comp amt sworn to
by Charles Elkert, a member of the
Milwaukee board of aldermen, charged
that Polachek unlawfully, feloniously
and corruptly offered and promised to
give Elkert $500 as bride and induce
ment to vote corruptly in favor of the
Wisconsin Rendering company in the
matter Of the city garbage contract.
Polacheck was arrested this evening
and admitted to bail on $4,000 bonds.

HANNA SAYS HE'LL QUIT.
Thinks His Reputation as u Poiiti-

HOUGHTON, Mich, Aug. 11-When
Senator Hanna was here some one
asked him if he intended leading the
Republican party again in the next
campaign. He replied: THAT reminds
me of a story told in Ohio Some of
the crack shots in a certain town were
having a turkey shoot. During the
time the affair was going on, a seedy
looking individual stepped up and ask
ed to be allowed to have a shot. He
was given rifle and took aim at a
turkey having it's long neck sticking
out of a box. Getting a good aim he
turned his head clear around, shut his
eyes, fired and off went the turkeys
head. The crowd was surprised and
asked him to shoot again, but he re-
fused. His only answer was: No.
thanks. I'll quit while my reputation
is good" Mr.. Hanna says he will dc
likewise.
