CHICAGO ETS.


Chicago, Sept. 10.-The falling in wheat
at the start was caused by the heavy re-
ceipts in the Northwest. A break of l1zc
a bushel in the price of cash wheat at
Duluth. which became known here about
half an hour after the opening. converted
the easier opening tone into one of posi-
tive weakness.
Liverpool was firm at sd advance for
September and sd for December. About
the time the news Of the 1lsc break was
received from Duluth a recess of the
board was taken here to view the pro-
cession of returning Chicago volunteers.
After the recess there was half an hours
brisk trading, but weakness was the pre-
vailing feature of the session.-The close
was at a decline of 1c for September and
December lost 5sd1c on the day.
Corn states had no frost last night and
the cod weather bulls were much disap-
pointed. There was liberal selling of long
corn bought yesterday and the pit crowd
was generally bearish. December lost
&C.
oats were in sympathy with the other
grains. May closed A@Sc lower.
Provisions opened weak, but good buy
ing led by a prominent packer brought
about a general improvement In prices
later on. Pork and lard left OF 2izc lower

New York. Sept. 1O.-The stock market
opened higher to-day under the impetus
of better prices for Americans in London.
The London advance was apparently ma

quite heavy offerings in continuation of

denied high level of $166, 272.
The industrials came more into notice
in the second hour. especially Tobacco,
which showed a violent recovery from
yesterdays weakness. recovering seven
points on forced covering of shorts.
The news which caused the evidence
was not forthcoming, but presumably
had to do with the plug tobacco agree
ment, the alleged failure of which caused
yesterdays decline. Sugar. Rubber. Steel
G. Wire and Hawaiian Commercial were
also conspicuousiy strong.
The continued shrinkage of cash re-
serves has been the prevailing factor in
the stock market during the week. The
large demands of the treasury on New
York banks for cash in payment of bond
subscriptions are reflected in the heavy
decreases in all items of the bank state
ment. The large decrease OF s13, 036, 200 In
the actual cash balance is more than ac-
counted for by the diversion of cash

TWO DIVORCE SUITS.
Kate NJ. Ray Says Her Husband Left Her
Withou Cause.

Without Cause.
Great Falls, Sept. 10.-Two suits for
divorce have been filed in the district
court. The first is that of Kate Nj.
Ray against her husband, Charles G..
RAY. Her complaint states that they
were married on March II, 1882, at
Radersburg, Jefferson county, Mon
tana. on Dec. 6, 1883, her husband, she
saws. left her without cause, and she
has since been obliged to support her
self and 15-year-old son. She asks for
absolute divorce and the custody of
the child. j. II. Lewis Is attorney ior
the plaintiff.
Annie Daniels asks for a divorce
from her husband, Frank Daniels. She
alleges that they were amrried in this
city on June 16, 1896. and that Frank
quit on Aug. 81, 1897. She says that
Frank has ample means for her sup
port, and she asks the court to allow
her $50 per ont temporary n per-
manent alimony, and also 500 for at
torneys' fees. She is represented by
stanton & stanton. Mrs. Daniels was
formerly Miss Anna ~Swingley of Mel

Daniels was bookkeeper for the Broad
water mine, and the bride was Wen

he Rush to the Coded Strip
on the Blackfeet
Reservation.

Great Falls, Sept. 10.-Among the
people of Montana who are known out
side the state limits, no one has a
wider acquaintance than Mrs. Nat Col
Inns. the Montana cattle queen. 1t is
evident that she has lost none of that
adventurous spirit which led her to
cross the plains about the middle of
the century and cast her lot with the
people of a new country. She was one
of the first to get on to the coded strip
of the Blackfeet reservation and took
some desperate chances in the journey.
Her friends will be glad to hear that
she has thereby gained some mineral
claims which she believes will prove
comparatively rich, and in this hope
her friends will join her. Just at the
present time she is back at her old
home near Choteau.
In a recent talk about the mineral
strip, she said that there had been a
great deal of lying done about the
strip, and it naturally worked against
the advance of the place. However,
she has some assay returns which look
well. and her faith in the belt is not
to be shaken, for she knows the place
by heart. An assay made of rock
taken on the Croker lode, at the head
"a ADCtAtN ShSSh h'oh chi
Sun mountain, shows the presence of
copper running from So per cent to rs
per cent. Mrs. Collins believes hat
this lode runs clear through the noun
tains to the Lake ID country,
and George b. Grinnell, editor of Forest
and Stream, who has been visiting that
country recently on his annual hunt
ing and fishing trip, too some of the
rock home with him for further assay.
Dudy and Brias, j. Harris, G.. W.
Spencer of Virginia City and Stork and
Main, all have claims which they con-
slider valuable, although as yet there
has been no prospecting below IL feet,
and no ore has been shipped save for
the purpose of ~assaying. Mrs. Collins
says:
THE black eye has been given to
that country by hob supposed pros
pectors, who never get beyond the sa-
looms at st. Mary's lake. They will
spend their money n curse the coun-
try. The same can be said of some

Mrs. Collins will leave i'm a few DAYS
for Chicago to sell her beef cattle.
After she has transacted this business
she will go to the Omaha Expo
sition. taking with her a num-
Der of fine views of the Lake

tisement of the state and it's pluck

up the bars so that she was unable to

sent up with her and they found the

the corral and released the animal,
which had been there for four days
