WHEAT MARKET IRREGULAR

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-THE strength which
wheat exhibited early today, influenced
considerably by the reopenlng OF mis-
at Minneapolis, was lost later, Decem-
Der closing sc under yesterday. Corn
closed B@4c higher, and oats Ac lower
Provisions closed but little changed.
While there was market news OF various 3
kinds served up to the consideration of
spectators in wheat the market more
than to anything else owed It's irfegu-
larity-and it was irregular-to the IN
stability of sentiment among small trad
ers. December opened 14@@sc higher at
7615G57634c Paris was firm, Liverpool
steady; three mills at Minneapolis We're
reported about to reopen, and receipts at
however, and December sold quickly
down to 761sc. 1t recovered to 1880 just
as quickly, and in this was assisted by
the strength of outside markets and buy
ing by the Northwest. Notwithstanding
the usual hoodoo, outside indifference
made itself felt and December declined
to 757sc, and closed Csc down at 76Q761sc
New York reported q loads taken for
export Primary receipts were 1,0S6,0OO
blu, against $4,000 last year. A year ago
Minneapolis was not included in the ag-
gregate receipts. Minneapolis and Du-
week and 354 a year ago. Seaboard clear
week and 354 year ago. Seobard clear
anees in wheat and flour We're equal to
S05,009 blu.
Corn was firm and fairly active, the
buIlish crop report estimating a crop of
1,1a6, 600 600 bu was the chief influence.
Local shipments We're 1000 bu, making
1,S00,000. Blu for two days. Shorts were
the best buyers The cash trade was
slow. December sold between 34a4c and
CSC; and closed -B0Ac higher at 347sc.
Receipts We're sol cars.
Oats were quiet and easy on the gov
eminent report, estimating a yield of
SiO00o,000 bu, thealargest crop since 1895
Receipts We're 3S6 cars. December sold
between 2214c and PC, and closed I'd
down at 221sc.
Provisions started firm on the hog re-
ceipts, which were 5000 under the es-
innate. A bulge followed the opening
on liberal buying by those who had sold
earlier in the week, but later the mar
ket turned easier in sympathy with
wheat. TIE close was steady; January
pork 21ac lover at $11.5O January lard
unchanged at $780, and January ribs I'M
changed at $6.15.
Flax had an exciting day, influenced
by the small stocks and Duluth advance.
October opened Zoe higher al SIZE, sold
at N.74, advanced to $1.79, broke to $1.7O
and rallied to SLIP at the close.

q GO; wire to H. Holbert & Son. 1T is
a difncult proposition to attempt to make
and predictions to the course of prices
IN the present market. Principally, for
the reason that transactions are SO pro-
fessional. 1t is, however, a generally ac-
cepted theory here that after Mr. Bryan
has paid New York visit it will be the
time to buy stocks for the ante-election
boom. This opinion being so general, it
may induce some purchasers to enter
the market before that time, which Will
operate against any marked decline.
There is a good undertone to the market
today, but the trading is on the very
nalrowest lines Call money is easy at
per cent and we. think there is a little
more disposition on the part of the banks
to loan funds. In detail: The trading

Leading up the sweet, soft weather.
lney made haste to unclose their eyes
But tn. workers now assemhle
Deep the walls they've underminsd-
Ana the towers lean and tremble
Asthe taut ropes pull and bind.
But the foolish blooms upknovine
or the doom that now imnends
rerume Kisses still keep blowing
10 the wall that Ger them bends.
From their Inns the odor streama
All their petals are uncurled.
NOT narm they fear; II seems
1ods abroad In all the world.
But the men the cordaee strain
Look. the huge wall leans ard swav,.
oach"aru no" IL rears again.
Anen on all rum lays.
Crushed and dead and beaten down
Hidden from the light of day.
niossoms' death your nest has found.
o~ch you go 10 puiseiess clay.
Crushed and bruised and dead TODAY
Not for wrongs that Won have done
But because you barrel the way
o'ners SET their feet upon.
So oft times It is with man.
While the song upon his lips
Au.s al woe oeneath the ban,
Auriiis MN 10 MS nngef tips.
Ruin smltes from ruthless skies
Mangles. beats and harris him down
pong upon MS dumb lips dies,
ihorns MS oleeding temples crown.
