Talbot & Palmer's Grain Letter

BY Private Wire from Ware IL Leland
Chicago November 3-WIdeat: Liverpool
closed Il up; sLondon, Is up on March.
Northwest cars, 73; last week, CAB; last
year. 1,0iS. Chicago received 1873 cars with
145 estimated for tomorrow. Primary re-
cejpts were oneIhan of last year, being
74400O against 4i4,0G0 a year ago. Receipts
at the winter wheat points were remark
ahly small. $4,000 at all points Export
clarances of wheat and flour small, -223,000
bushels. The stocks of wheat at Minne-
apolis and Duluth are estimated to show
but $4,000 increase for the week. Shipments
from Argentine only half of what they
were last week, being $4,000 bushels. The
worlds shipments should show light this
week 1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the legitimate situation in wheat is
getting better, but cuts no figure in the
speculative market today, which, after an
opening effort at firmness, went to pieces
on liquidation, closing weak and heavy at
the lowest price yet seen. We do not feel
like following the market on the down side
further at present and think that fair
scalping profits can be secured by buying
wheat on any further depression.

MUCH ACTIVITY
In COTTON MARKET
Sentiment Strongly BulliSh on
Proof of Short Crop.
EUROPE BOUGHT HEAVILY
Prices Advanced by Leaps and Strides
AT Close the Feeling Was Firm,
With Prices Showing
Big Net Gain
EUROPE BOUGHT HEAVILY

New York, November 3-The market for
cotton futures was very active all day with
sentiment strongly bullish on proof that the
crop was to be a short one and an aggre-
cation of friendly influences set its support
ers to work. Foreign cables and reports
that a severe cold wave had descended on
the cotton belt during the night gave shorts
reason for surveying their position eriti-
cally and on the call the market ruled
steady with first sales at an advance of 2
to points.
As the day progressed the feeling of I'M
easiness on the part of the bears changed
to one of general alarm, the news stating
that killing frost had visited most of the
belt within the past twentyfour hours, and
further noting sharp rise in spot quota
tons. Investment orders soon began to
pour in from Wall street, New Orleans buy
ing heavily and Europe snatched up offers
of the far months. Prices were soon adj
yancing by leaps and strides with bullish
sentiment at fever heat. Encouraging press
advices from the seat of war in South
Africa. forecast for continued freezing
temperature over the belt predictions for
still smaller receipts for the ensuing week
and rumors that dealers in the south were
disposed to hold off for still high prices
aided in strengthening the market. The
weekly summaries were also bullish. In
fact bear traders had little in the way OF
news to comfort them and gave attention
strictly to making good over sales of the
LAST two weeks.
The market broke quite heavily at times
under spurts of active profit-talIng, but re-
acted and seemingly gained fresh impetus
on each upturn. At the close the feeli-s
was firm with prices showing net gain
of to 16 points.

ANOTHER FRAUD.
The sibley Warehouse Company Tries to
do H. n. Clement.

Aue SlDIoy Warehouse company IrI0s 10
do H. y. Clement.
H. F. Clement left this morNing for
Chicago, where no goes to swear out
All attachment against the Sibley Ware
house company for shipment Of wool,
comprising something like $4,000
pounds, which he consigned TO himself
last year IN care Of the warehouse
company. This seems to be another
case similar 10 that Of j. Il. Miner.
from the northern part Of this county,
who recently instituted suit against the
same company to recover for wool con-
signed to himself. which they had sold
without authority.
Mr.. Clement recently wrote the Sib.
ley Warehouse company about bis wool,
having conferred with Mr. Miner on
tho latter's return from Chicago, the
fore parr Of August. He received no
answer to two or three communication
and becoming convinced that something
was radically wrong wrote to H. Fl.
Mund Of Chicago. giving him the
power of attorney to inquire into the
matter. Mr.. Mund. BY the way. was
also attorney for Mr., Miner. He
knew what TO expect. When be visit
cd the warehouse those in charge told
him the wool was still ON hand, but
that they would not turn 1t over until
storage, grading and several other
charges had been paid, besides trying
to collect commission on sale they
had not made. When Mr., MuMd Offer
cd to pay storage charges he was told
the wool had been sold. This is
thought to be false, as the wool was
seen in the warehouse by Mr.. Miner
when he was in Chicago, aud besides
the company would hardly dare sell it
when the same was consigned to MI,
Clement.
The warehouse company is thought
to be q fraud Of the first water and the
outcome of both cases will be watched
for with interest BY the w0olgy0wers Of
this section.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1899-09-12

would cancel the Billings dates for this
week il Billings did not play in Helena
last Saturday and Sunday. Neither do
the Helena papers say anything about
the Butte team being paid $25 to can
Gel ita dates, so that Helena cOnld eot
them. which statement was made BY
Butte players to members Of the Billings
team. The Helena press also fails to
mention ttat Manager Phillips was 20
discouIteous as to drop the telephone on
Manager Nix, when they were talking
between Helena and Butte last Friday.
The truth Of the whole matter is that
Helena failed to force Billings into two
games with them when our team was
crippled. Helena no doubt did know.
through messages that went through
that city to Manager Nix from Bill
ings, that he was advised to play Hell
ena at Butte, but no such proposition
was ever made by Manager Nix and it
was decidedly cheap proceeding for
Manager Phillips to rush into print and
attempt to cast odium on Billings and
Manager Nix as having "fluked.
The Helena management, however.
has decided to come to Billings this
week, after all Games will be played
here next Friday forenoon and Satur.
day and Sunday afternoon. The Fri
day game will be- called promptly at
1890 u IN. and the other games at 3
p ~. Fifty cent admission will be
charged to men and 25 cents TO the
ladies and boys. Everyone is anxious
to see the two teams meet and good
games are promised.
