CHICAGO, October 28.-Wheat got
down to 69A@7sc to-day for the De-
cember option and closed with a loss
of 3sc or within a fraction of the bot
tom. Lack of support owing to an ov-
er abundance in sight was mainly re-
sponsible for the decline. Corn was
steadied by an improved cash demand
and closed unchanged. Oats advanced
1sc and provisions from 21a to TIC.
Trading in wheat commenced at a
slight decline and there was so little
energy in the business that the mar
ket sagged steadily throughout the en-
tire session. The news was generally
of bearish cast but selling on any ex-
tensive scale was held in check owing
to the belief that prices were apt to be
given a sudden impetus on the out
come of the political situation abroad.
December opened 1s@Ac lower at TOYS
@Ac, sold sparingly at 7OAc, declined
to 69%@Bcc and closed at zoe. Chi
cago received 81 cars, of which grad
ed contract Minneapolis and Duluth
got 9S4 cars against 1,311 for the cor
responding day a year ago, but the eff
feet of the decrease was offset by pre-
dictions from that section that the
movement would show decided in
crease in the near future. Total west
ern receipts were 1,042,000 bushels
against 1,542,000 for the same day last
year. Local stocks during the week
increased over 100000 bushels and in
dications were that the visible supply
Monday would show an increase Of
nearly 100000 bushels. Cash demand
here was slightly improved but re-
ceipts continue far in excess of ship
ments. Atlantic port clearances in
wheat and flour equalled $4,000 bush
els. Worlds shipments for the week
amounted to 100000 bushels.
Corn was easy early in sympathy
with wheat but later rallied under gen.
erous country buying induced by wet
weather and moderate receipts. Indi-
cations of a large decrease in the
worlds visible supply together with on
improved cash demand helped to sus
tain the advance. Elevator interests
during the latter part OF the session
bought freely. Receipts 344 cars. De-
cember opened sc lower at 1850, de-
elined to 311ac and advanced to 31Mc
at the close.
Moderate receipts and a good ship
ping demand strengthened oats. Trade
was dull but the market ruled strong
with narrow limits. Receipts 255 cars.
December opened 7sc higher at 227sc,
eased off to 22A07sc and closed at
227Bc.
A decrease in stocks and higher
prices strengthened provisions. There
was soft spot early owing to the
weakness in grains but the market
eventually became strong with packers
the principal buyers. January pork
closed 5G71ac higher at SO g., January
lard unchanged at S. S7k05 40 and
January ribs 21ac higher at 81 971aQ
So 90.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat $50 cars; corn AIS; oats 800 and
hogs $1,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK, October 29.-Stocks-
The favorable showing made by the
bank statement was a complete surprise
to Wall street and yenturesome bears
were caught short The result was
seen in some violent price changes. The
expectation of an unfavorable state
ment was so universal that the bears
were very active in the first hour, and
the bulls were little disposed to push
their ventures. The early advance on
buying by London and a light demand
from outsiders through commission
houses was completely wiped out and
the industrial specialties yielded easily
in sympathy with the weakness mani
fest in steel and wire, which dropped
to 4524 on continued liquidation and
uncoyerng Of stop loss orders. Pretty
much all the stocks Of companies in
the metal industries were specially
vulnerable and there was profit taking
in the leather stocks. The latseH were
supported by the recently active pool,
and prices bid up sharply. This lTompt-
ed some covering by the bears in other
Industries before the appearance of the
bank statment But the scramble for
stocks Immediately upon the publica-
ton Of the statement showed that large
bear contracts remained uncovered
The bulls helped on the advance and
bid prices up easily and by wide jumps
in the effort to take the market away
from the bears. The closing was fever
ish, but strong, and showed higher
level of prices on the day. The South
ern and Southwestern railroad stocks
made the best showing, as en- previous
days OF the week. The bank statement
Is completely mystifying. A loss in
cash by the banks was taken for grant
ed. None of the preliminary estimates
placed in under 100000, and most Of
them put it at over $4,000, 900 Instead,
1t is sS7, 900. The increased activity in
the stock market indicated that the
process Of laon contraction had been
stopped. Instead, there IS a loan de-
crease of $4766, 900. Bear traders were
confident that cash in the banks would
fall below the legal reserve require
ments. Instead, the surplus is more
than doubled by reason of the reduc-
ton in requirements by loan contrac-
+, ton. No satisfactory explanation is
available Of the surprising recuperation
effected by the banks during the week.
The market for railroad bonds has
been active and broad through the
week, and prices higher. United States

Alleged Abuse Of Ies ExereIss uoder The
Present Adm,nlstratioa-

Present Admanl8trntt@m-
President Mckinley has been
severely criticised for his free use
of the pardoning power, and an
examination of the instances in
which he has exercised his prerog-
ative goes far to show that the
criticism rests on the most substan-
tial grounds. He has broken. the
record. During little more than
two years he has been in the office
he has granted $40 pardons and
120 combinations of sentence,
which equals the total number
granted by President Cleveland in
four years, and surpasses the num-
Der granted by any of his predec-
essors for like period. The charge
has been made that political infiu-
ence is potent in securing execu-
tive clemency. and it must be said
that such an inference is not un-
warranted from the classes of Grim
inals who have been pardoned or
whose sentences have been COM
muted. Of the whole number of
cases-478-in which the president
has exercised his power, "a of the
prisoners were bank wreckers, en-
bezzlers, or concerned in frauds
against national banks, 80 were
dishonest postmasters or others
convicted of offenses against the
postal service, and 47 were coun-
terfeiters or concerned in crimes
against the currency of the United
States. Other classes particularly
favored were Illicit distillers, viola
tors of the internal revenue laws,
horse thieves, and deserters from
the army and navy. The unusual
clemency for ninety dishonest
postal officials was certainly not
shown in the interest of AN efficient
postal service or for the benefit of
the public. Every citizen of the
United States is especially concern
ed in the prompt, faithful trans
mission of the mails, and, as post
masters are largely politicians, the
extraordinary favor shown this
class of criminals must be constru-
ed as in the interest of the politi-
clans and not for the public good.
The particular grace granted bank
wrecke,s, embezzlers. and viola
tors of national banking laws is
wholly inexplicable. save on the
ground that the criminals had pol
itical influence and exerted their
pull.' The freedom with which
pardons and combinations have
been granted to this class of Grim
inals is, we believe, wholly inde-
fensible and scandalous. If dis
honest officers of trust in financial
institutions are allowed to escape
the just punishment for their
breaches of trust, public faith will
be destroyed. business will be in:
jured and the sense of security es-
sential to the health to the trade
will vanish.
The president of the United
States is made the fountain of
mercy" by our constitution in
cases against the federal authority.
He is given this great power be-
cause it was assumed by the franz
ers of the constitution that the
enormous power would bring such
q great sense of responsibility as
would save the exercise of the pre-
rogative from abuse, whatever
might be the personal character.
istics of the executive, and we
trust that the advisers of the pres
ident will use their influence to
correct the evil which is blot up

Mr.. PAUL said the loss would surely
exceed the insurance.
Just at the start, when the flremen
were getting at the fire In earnest, the
fire plug in front Of the mill and dl.
rectly across the street from the burn
ing sheds, burst and was out of action
for fifteen minutes or more, greatly
handicapping the fremen, but with as
little loss Of time as possible the hose
lines were attached to other but less
favorably located plugs. Under the
circumstances the department did ex-
cellent work in combining the fire to the
sheds on the street front Several times
immense piles of lumber at the rear
caught fire, but each time the blaze
was promptly and most errectually
squelched.
To the north of the sheds, fronting on
Main street, was the large brick stable
on the Riverside Pottery Company's
lot. occupied by welshaus & Riggs.
Six horses were in the building which
had filled with smoke. thus greatly
frightening the dumb brutes, but will

Across the alley, below the lumber
yard, is located the residence OF Mrs.
Alex. Trow. Early during the fire the
porch and caves cnught fire. but the
blRzcs were soon extIngulshed. No
other buildings were touched, hut those
opposite the burning sheds were badly
scorched.
Mr., Wilson said that the place must
have been set on fire. Os It could not
possibly have started in any other way.
He supposed that tramp had entered
the shed and accidentally started the
blaze with the proverbini match and
pipe.
