THE WHEAT MARKET.
Fear of Political Complications Puts
Liverpool Up.

Chicago. Oct. 1O.-English grain people
had war scare today, growing out of
their controversy with France over the
Nile territory. Liverpool wheat was 1 II
q lid higher, and all the explanations
were of the one sort, that political COM
plications were feared The English ad-
vance resulted in very large acceptances
of offers made from this side Saturday
when no such consideration was thought
Of The increase in the visible, 947, 600
bushels, was less than anyone looked for
1t was surprisingly small in view of the
enormous primary receipts last week, ov-
er II, 900, 0G0 bushels. Primary receipts ex-
ceeded 100000, which is as good a start
as last weeks.

Mr. Henry Clews in his weekly letter
says OF the money situation:
The recent importations of gold have
placed the money market beyond any
probability of a relapse toward a strin-
gency. Owing to the low rate OF ster-
ling exchange at Paris. 1t has been found
possible to ship hither about 600 of
gold from that city on London account;
but there is apparently little probability
of any further important importations of
the metal until there is an active revival
of our exports of grain; and, between the
unsettled state of the foreign wheat
trade and the unwillingness of our far
mers to market their stocks, that con-
tingency can hardly be said to be within
sight In any case, however, the condi-
ton of the local banks has reached a
point of plethora in lending power which
assures the money market against any
disturbance for the rest Of the year, II
it does not foreshadow a period of mark
ed ease"

Several depressing facts in the general
condition of the country had their in
fluence on the tone of the stock market
yesterday at the beginning of the week.
The spread of yellow fever in the South,
misgivings concerning the coming cleo
tions and the reports of bitches in the
peace negotiations at Paris all tend 20 re-
press speculation and to discourage buy
ing. The market was at times as stagnant
as on a midsummer day. Prices went
down nearly all day all over the list, the
decline varying from a point TO over three
points
A further influence of the same charac-
ter particular yesterday was the expecta-
ton of declaration by the Supreme
Court in the joint traffic association case.
There is no particular reason TO expect
better things today or this week and the
advice given by most of the market crit
les is to sell on any small rallies from
now until after election.

The agreement under which the trunk

The drop In Lake Erie and Western pre-

Sugar tumbled from 113 1-2 to ITO Is

and the bears are still of the opinion
that it will go much lower within the
next few days.
virulent attack on the Sugar Trust
in yesterdays Stakeholder probably had
something to do with the attitude OF the
bears today. The Stockbroker says
that the company will be obliged to pass
it's dividends on common stock in order
to keep below the prices of rival refin-
ers and that almost surely the Sugar
Trust monopoly is doomed.
Dow, Jones & Co. also attacked Sugar
yesterday. They said among other things:
1.-The difference between raw and refined
sugars today yields no profit to the re-
fners, an infinitesimal profit An
other reduction of Is cent per pound
means heavy loss The American COM
pany cannot win the fight unless sugars
are sold at a loss. The opposition can
continue indefinitely if it loses no money.
"A compromise is out of the question,
because compromise which restricted
the production of sugar to maintain the
price would be violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, and evidence sufficient to
convince any jury could be obtained.
THE American Company produces
about 100000 barrels of sugar annually
There are approximately seven barrels
to a ton. A loss of IA of a cent per
pound is Is cents on a 300 pound barrel
and on 5000, 900 barrels the loss is SOCIOLOGY.
While the sugar company would lose $3.50
on 1000 barrels, its competitors would
| lose S1S7.50 on $50 barrels, provided they
continue running. In other words, the
sugar company's loss is four to five times
! greater than that of Its competitors, be-
| cause of the bigger business of the trust.
1.-The company's surplus has been form

| ing capital, and without dividends on the
| common would suffice to carry a re-
lentless war for period probably suf-

No "WaE Into Africa"

Conservative opinion in both coun-
tries bears out the view that the meet
ing of England and France in the Nile
valley is not a very serious matter.
Assuming that the expedition reported
at Fashoda is that under Marchand
and not the one under Macdonald, the
situation contains explosive elements,
but there Is nothing to show that there
is a disposition on either side to apply
the spark. The Frenchmen under
Marchand are nominally exploring for
purely scientific purposes, and, with
the victorious army commanded by
Sir Herbert Kitchener within a few
days march, they are not likely to
abandon that innocent amusement and
embark upon the hazardous enterprise
OF land grabbing.
The time may come when the Gaul
and the Anglo-Saxon will clash in the
Soudan, but this is not the day for
such an eventuality. Affairs at home
for the moment are in too disturbed
a condition to encourage any Of the
powers to engage in Drawing in Afri-
ca. The Anglo-German entente, the
cars latest freak, the outbreak in
Crete, threatening a reopening Of the
whole Eastern question-all of these
are for the time being guarantees that
Africa will not be a battle ground in
the immediate future.
The one element of danger is in the
hot-headedness Of the men who COM
mand the outposts along the Nile.
Rashness on their part might force a
situation from which neither England
nor France could retire without hui
initiation. But this is not to be ex-
pected. Until the latest flash in Crete
is eXtinguished; until the true inward
ness Of the cars peace note is under
stood, and until the new relations Of
England and Germany are accurately
measured, it is extremely unlikely that
any one Of the great powers of Europe
will be willing to carry war into At

know whether the English German al

The iconoclasts are after Milton! It
was very fortunate for the Puritan
bard that he took so active a part in
English politics, else these latter
day critics who go providing about
with literary crowbars would be
at work to overturn confidence in
his very existence. Since they cannot
do that, they attack Paradise Lost"
calling it a wholesale steal from Van
den Vonders Dutch poem "Lucifer."
Laying aside, for the moment, the
absurd ideas Of originality implied in
this charge of plagiarism, it is little
odd that While Paradise Lost" was
written but eight or ten years after
the "Lucifer,' which was instantly and
widely known because Of it's yelled Do
Htlcal thrusts yet no one Of the litter
ateurs Of that time should have de-
tected the theft. Surely the Paradise
Lost bears no traces of the "Ll1cl-

The Thirds Home Coming.

Private advices have been received at
Fort Smelling which go to indicate that
the Third regiment will arrive at the
post about the middle Of the week In
any event, the regiment will be back
in the garrison that has been its home
so long before many days, and the
question must be answered: How are
these veterans of the bloody affair at
Santiago to be received? The Fight
ing Third has a reputation as broad as
the continent, and Of equal age with
the country, for it's proves in the field.
That reputation lost nothing by the
conduct OF the men and officers at San
tiago. The country thinks pretty we'll
or the Third, and in the army it is re-
garded with the affection due to an
organization which has done much to
sustain the Valor of American arms.
II was the Third that captured Monte
rey and entered the City of Mexico
first in the Mexican war; it was, the
same regiment, reinforced by the bone
and sinew Of 1000 men recruited in
the Northwest, that marched with

The city owes it to herself, and as
a tribute to the valor of the men Of
this regiment which is at once a cred
1t to the army and practically a Min
nesota institution, to give the return
ing regulars a reception that will make
the men and officers of the Third to
feel that they have really been in for
eign places, and that their coming back
to Minnesota is a real home coming.
Now, who will take the initiative?
Is it to be the Commercial club or the
city that is to move first in the mat
