WHEAT--As expected. Liverpool cables
came 5sd lower this morning. but had
been thoroughly discounted and opening
quotations were the lowest for the day.
Northwest receipts were heavy. over 700
cars at Minneapolis and Duluth, against
less than 400 cars a year ago. Chicago
got 1868 cars and Kansas City reported SIC
cars against 1926 year ago. There was
good buying from the start, and while the
volume of business was not heavy 1t was
from good parties and the market was
well supported. Estimated receipts for
tomorrow are rather heavy, but it must be
remembered that these Chica go and north
west receipts are nearly all hard wheat,
and have been counted once at primary
points. Closing cables were at an adj
vance of I'D for wheat for the day and
clearances were heavy, 617, 600 bu of wheat
and flour, as wheat. Acceptances are lib
eral and indications point to heavy ship
ments in the near future. Receipts from
the southwest will in all prDba biIityffa
off materially from now on, and this with
increased exports and improved cash de-
mand will have a tendency to strengthen
the market. The visible supply only in
creased 205.000 bu-s which shows plainly
that receipts have already commenced to
fall off and that present receipts are be-
ing counted two or three times Cash de-
mand is improved over Saturdays closing

RUNNING MATE FOR BRYAN
Populist Committee Again Meets to
Settle Tt.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The national COM
mittee of the Populist party, gathered in
this city for the purpose of naming a
vice presidential candidate as running
mate for Bryan, spent the forenoon in
viewing the naval veteran parade and in
holding conferences of an informal ma
ture.
Ante conference talk seemed to point
to the selection of Adlai E. Stevenson,
although Marion Butler, chairman of
the committee, spent much time in ex-
planning why it was unwise, according
to his view to ratify the second place
nomination of the Democratic conven-
ton. The formal conference was origi-
nally set for IL O'Clock a. M, but it was
decided to postpone the meeting till la
ter in the day.

New York Uptown Gossip.

New York, Aug. 27.-The Increase in the
surplus reserve of the New York city
banks, shown by Saturdays bank state
ment brings the figures up to an amount
in excess of any weekly surplus shown
this year, with the exception of four
weeks in July and August and five weeks
in January and February The surplus Is
larger than at this time last year or in
1898 and 1896. Government disbursements
at New York city in excess of collections
are mainly responsible for the increased
strength of the banks. 1t is not entirely
satisfactory that this should be the case.
1t has been pointed out too often TO make
repetition necessary how important will
be the relation of future events in China
to the probable course of the international
money markets. 1t is becoming evident
that the capture of Pelzin by the allies
is only beginning to open up the consid-
Grafton of the problem of the far east
Railroad earnings continue to afford
qualification. The annual reports of the
roads now coming to hand reflect the
treme prosperity of the last fiscal year
1t should not be expected. however, that
the results of the current first six months
of the new fiscal year will be equally IA
vorab1e. Perhaps, owing to the decline in
the price of supplies and material needed
in the operation and maintenance of the
transportation systems there may be some
saving in operating expenses.

He HAD BEEN FISHING.
lFrom the Boston GIobe.l

IFrom the Boston Globe.]
He was an honest faced young man
who had been off for a days fishing and
was returning home with reasonably
fine string and much Standardization.
He had scarcely boarded the street car,
however, when passenger with deep
voice growled out:
yes. 1 was out fishing myself one day
last week. | brought home twenty
pounds. bought 'em of a regular fish
ern1ani'
A giggle was heard here and there
among the passengers, and then a man
with a squeaky voice observed:
i've played the game myself, but it
was years ago, when I was a bad man.
/ bought 'em from the fisherman and
brought 'em down home and lied about
'ena-lied in the most barefaced and
shameful manneri Yes, gentk en-, that
is the one regret of my life!'
The young man with the fish was red
faced and uncomfortable, and as he was
hitching around a. man with a wart on
his nose called out in a. loud voice:
Gentlemen, I don't deny that I love
whisky, but am not hari get drunk
and smash things, but reverence the
truth. Before would lie about fish
would torture myself at the stalker
Then hatchet-faced young man
rolled up his eyes and exclaimed:
'sThey not only lie to the public. but
go home and lie to their poor innocent
wives and trusting children!'
The honest-faced young man saw that
leave the car. AS he rose up to motion
to the conductor a fat man who had
been browsing reused up and said:
Gentlemen, / date my downfall from
that one thing-from the first lie told
about fish. I hired a man to kill me a
dozen with a crowbar, and then
brought 'em home and swore caught
EN- on my own hook and line. l lied
about it-deliberately and maliciously
lied-and Providence
ssAll OFF, shouted the conductor as
the car stopped
The car rolled on, and the young man
with the perch and bass and fishpole
stood in the cleaning and looked after
it and clenched his hands and gritted
his teeth and whispered cuss words.
and an hour later a pedestrian stumbled
over something on the sidewalk and got
up to rub his knees and elbows and
called out in amazement:
''Well, I'll be hanged If some liar
hasn't stopped here to lie and gone
away and left his fish behindr'
