wheat lost their attractiveness at the
opening Tuesday and in their place the
January delivery sprang up. The open
ing price for that option was 943s

little was accomplished until after l
o clock when the efforts of few
shorts TO cover revealed the fact that
the market was absolutely bare OF Of
ferings. In the meantime the Janu-
airy future had advanced to 96c, but
suddenly it began to climb in a be-
wildering manner. In the space OF a
short time the dollar mark had been
reached, traders raising their BIDS H2c

Londol's large buying of securities

is less blow TO Spain than 10 the Eu-
ropean powers which seem DESTROYS Of
selecting naval stations in the Philip

The Boersen Courier admits that the
powers have no cause for interfering
but urges them 10 watch American ex-
pansion with jealous eyes.
The National Zeitung says: IF
Spain can obtain compensation sufii-
cient to cover the Philippine and Gu
ban debts. she would be better off with
out the islands. Looking TO the com
mercial and strategical value of the
Philippines, we should not be surprised
at resistance on the part of some of the
powers. Moreover, IL is evident that
the inhabitants will not calmly ac-
quiece in American annexation"
The Frankfurter Zeitung thinks that
after the elections the American com
missioners are likely to make some con-
cessions, since the chief question Is
rather how to conquer the Philippines
from the inhabitants than how to ever
come SPANS resistance.
London, Nov. 3.-The Vienna CORE

Omcial Notice Of Breaking Of Peace
Negotiations II Looked For
at Paris.

London, Nov. 3.--Thc Paris CORE
spondcnt OF the Morning Post says: II
Is expected that a rupture of the peace
negotiations between the United States
and SPUN will be officially announced
on Friday. The feeling here is that the
attitude OF the Spaniards Is irrational
i'm view of the financial proposals of
the United States, and that they may
ultimately regret having failed 70 agree
quickly with the adversary.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says: The Spanish commission

Spanish government. by Americas de-
cision to take the Philippines. Possibly
the Spanish people were not prepared
for IL, and the commissioners are pre-
tending surprise so that the govern
ment may be better able to face public
opinion Certainly everybody outside
of Spain must have understood that
the archipelago was lost to Spain.

spondent of the Standard says: Rus

When the war with Spain began the
war department issued definite instruc-

Der. accused OF conspiring TO injure the
business of the Paine Lumber company.
OF this city, were acquitted in the mu-
nicipal court Wednesday. The jury
was out about an hour. The case has
been watched by the labor organiza-
tions throughout the country. The
Oshkosh case followed the woodwork
ers' strike Of last summer, which lasted
10 weeks aud involved i.600 men. Mr..
Kidd was secretary Of the international
Woodworkers' uhion and was promi-
nent in directing the strike, while Zen
ter was captain of the pickcts. and
Troiber was a picket The case Of the
defendants rested largely upon the le-
gality or illegality of the practice Of
picketing. which the state maintained
amounted to conspiracy. but which the
defense contended was in itself inno-
cent and lawful.
