TODAY's MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-WHEAT-An advance
of IL d at Liverpool was the chief factor
in wheat at the outset today. The bulge
was a surprise to shorts and under the
bidding, November opened 9sq1ac higher
at 7SQAc. On profit-taking by scalpers
the market dropped to 777sc, where It
steadied. There was still too much rain
in the northwest and receipts were liberal.
Local cars were 207 four of contract
grade while Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 573 against 400 last week and 13O
year ago.
November later declined to 77ssq4zc and
closed dull, but steady at 771kQ sc, only
a. shade under yesterday.
CORN--Corn was quiet and steady In
sympathy with wheat. Commission houses
We're the best buyers, the local crowd do
ing most of the selling because of the re-
ceipts, 759 cars November opened at 3I5k
@5sc, touched 37ss41zc, at which point the
market steadied.
The close was steady, November a shade
up at 373sd16c.
OATS-Oats were fiat, November open
ing at 223sc. Receipts 374 cars.
OVIS1ONS-ProvisiOn were easier on
selling by packing interests. January pork
opened at $11.95 and sold to S11 .s21s, jan

TRUST MAKES MONEY
While the Laboring Man Suffers Says
Mr.. Bryan

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. I'm his speech
at Brazil today Mr. Bryan said in part:
when we ask the Republicans today to
defend Imperialism, they tell US there is
really no such thing; when we ask them
to defend militaTiSm, they tell US there
is really no such thing; when we ask
them what they are going to do on the
trust question Mr.. Hanna replies that
he does not believe there are any trusts.
The trust question was before the people
some in 1896 but not much. 1t was be-
fore US in principle but we have had a
great many applications of the principle
since and the people know more about
it now than they did then.
GU know today about the principle
which underlies the trust, because, while
in 1896 you ran across the trusts oc-
casionally, now you meet them every
day. When under a Democratic admin
istration a mill closed down, every pa
per would point to the closing down of
the mill as the effect of a low tariff,
but now a trust will close mills down
and the Republican, who knows his party
is responsible for the trust can not say
a word about it. If an Independent mill
closes down there is a loss to the man
agement because the laborers separate,
the trade is lost and the community sur
fers. When a community is in close
touch with the factory it can use some
influence on the management of the fac
tory but when they sell a mill in the city
of Brazil to the trust, with it's head
quarters in New York, it can close down
it's mills here and do the work some
where else without loss to the trust. The
laboring man suffers and the trust makes
money. When our attorney general COM
menced a suit in Nebraska to dissolve
the starch trust, the Republicans or Ne
braska City, where the mill was located,
met and protested against the enforce
nent- of a statute of the state, and When
I got home from the last trip 1 found
the Republicans were trying to terrify

BIG TAX LOSS.
County COmmissionersAre After
Building and Loan Companies.

The county commissioners are invest1-
eating the manner in which the build
ing and loan associations in Topeka pay
personal property tax. The returns to
the tax assessors and to the state bank
commissioner when compared show
difference Of over 100000 upon which no
personal property tax is paid
The commissioners are not certain
that there is anything irregular in the
manner of doing business but on ac-
count of the startling difference they are
Investigating the matter. Friday rep
resentatives of the building and loan as
sociatiOns in Topeka were requested to
come before the commissioners and an
SWer questions regarding the difference.
The representatives asked that they be
allowed few days to make statements
and compile tables which would place
the matter properly before the commits
sioners.
County Auditor Hamilton said this
morning: THE county commissioners
discovered that the building and loan
companies put in a small amount in
their tax statement and large amounts
in their reports to the state bank COM
missioner. The board wishes to enquire
into the matter and find out why there
is such difference. There seems to be
a large amount of taxable property up
on which no tax is paid and the COM
missioners think some one should pay
the taxes. The notes and mortgages
same kind of property as the notes and
mortgages of personal individuals listed
in their personal property statements
The loan companies have paid person
al property tax on their average month
~ receipts. The Aetna company report
ed $4,000 and paid on $1,000, the usual
one half. The report of the company to
the bank commissioner shows loans on
real estate and on stock of the company
$471,015. The Shawnee company re-
ported to the tax assessors average
monthly receipts as $13,S45 and paid on
$500. Their report to the bank commits
sioner shows on loans $276, 214.S9 The
Mutual Building and Loan company re-
ported to the commissioners average
receipts $3.50 and paid on 1920. Their
report to the bank commissioner shows
loans to the amount of S25,059.65. The
Capitol company reported the receipts
of the company as SIS, 100 and paid on
$3.50. Their report to the bank COM
missioner shows $244 1858.
In this manner the companies have
been paying on $22 40. The loans of the
companies as reported amount to 81
DIG, 425.07, which divided and reduced the
amount that personal tax is paid upon
by the companies leaves S496, 977 SO upon
which no tax is paid.

Chicago ILL., Oct. 6-WHEAT-The gen.
eral tenor of advices from the northwest
continues to emphasize the reports Of
damage to spring wheat IN stack by the
heavy rains, while the receipts at primary
points in that section bear out tine con-
tention of a short yield sill further cur
tailed Winter wheat receipts also are
growing less, and on the other hand there
exists a fair export demand with pros
poets of this increasin gright along The
home situation of wheat is a strong one
on the present supplies and prospective
demand with Argentine while still some
way from harvesting her crop, will, UNI
der these conditions, have yield more
than 1.-THE past two seasons to prevent a
hurried demand from Europe on our sup
plies. Should the Argentine crop suher
any serious setback, then indeed the bull
in wheat Will come into his heritage. At
the moment the general trade Is light IN
q speculative way and will probably re-
main SO until a larger volume of business
IS induced Dy a decreasing visible supply
and more evidence of support Of export
takings- In the meantime, but little wheat,
comparatively speaking IS being shipped
out from Minneapolis or Duluth, the ar
rivals declining into drifting into control
of the millers, who realize the short sup
ply. The strength of the situation may
be some times exerting itself, but that
il will do so ultimately seems certain.
Trade is so stagnant, however that pur-
chases may have to stand some deprecia-
ton, but the real speculative danger ahead
of operators is on the short side.
CORN-The absolute control of October
corn by a local combination is growing
ing trade. 1t is hard to trade in this op-
ton and impossible to do so without jolt
for old corn over new are high and are
attracting much old corn that otherwise
would not come to Chicago. At the same
time the cash demand takes all arrivals
and continues good. There is a general
desire among operators not interested in
the October to await development ms this
delivery before going into the market to
any extent The December and May are
ruling quiet Some hedging sales against
new corn have ben made in these deliver
les but not any great quantity The &C
tober position overshadows every thing
else at present.

MAY NOT AGREE.
Indications That Part of French Pro-
posal May Be Rel ected.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The American
answer to the French note which is the
pending phase of the Chinese negotia-
tions to be disposed of, has been pretty
well defined, although it will remain for
the return of the president and a meet
ing of the cabinet to give the answer
formal def1niteness. Already, however,
intimations have been conveyed to some
of the foreign representatives that this
government may not be able to concur
in the Introduction in the import of arms
into China, and also that there may be
serious constitutional reasons requiring
at least two of the French proposals to
be submitted to the American congress
before they can be acted upon affirma-
lively. These two latter propositions re-
late to the establishment of a permanent
legation guard at Pekin, and to the per-
manent maintenance of communication
from Pekin to the sea. The perman
ency of these plans appears to involve
a possibility of territorial occupation,
though of limited character, both at
Pekin and along the road from Pekin to
the sea, and it is understood that even
If these moves were regarded with IA
vor by the executive branch there would
be constitutional reasons making it de-
sirable to submit them to congress
This idea has been put forward only a
tentative way, as indicating to foreign
representatives some of the questions
which will have to be taken into ac-
count by giving an answer to the
garded, however, as one which must be
accepted or rejected as a whole. The eff
forts of NJ. Delcasse to secure a basis
of settlement are fully appreciated by
the officials here, and this view doubt
less will find expression in the American
answer
The news which the United States
government has received of the purpose
of the Chinese imperial court to take up
its abode at Tsinanfu, in the province of
Shense comes from Japanese official
sources but so far there has been moth
ing from the Chinese officials to show
that the movement actually has taken
place The state department has put
forth all OF its efforts to bring about an
abandonment of the project
However, it is now conceded that the
presence of the emperor and empress in
Pekin is not absolutely necessary to the
attainment of a satisfactory and per-
manent settlement of the Chinese trou-
BILE, though it is undoubtedly true that
their return would hasten such a settle
ment.

LARGEST DEPOSITS.
Never Before So Much Money in Kan
sas Banks

The national banks of Kansas, accord
ing to the comptroller of the currency,
showed in deposits on September /,
$29, 1875, 08114. The state banks, accord
ing to Bank Commissioner BreidenthaI
had deposits on the same date, $31 645,-
STOPS. This gives a total of $50, $40, Isl. A.
It is a coincidence that the 1888 state
banks and the national banks had al
most the same aggregate. The national
banks are generally ahead. The distri-
button of large deposits all over the
state, especially in the smaller towns,
indicates, the bankers say, general pros
perity. Never before were bank deposits
so large in this state.
