The silver blade. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1895-1903, 1900-09-29

All preparations for the Spokane
Industrial Exposition, which opens on
the second of October, are proceeding |
splendidly, and the indications are the
fair and exposition this year will be
much better than ever before. This
will not only be true Of the whole show,
but 1t will be true of almost every
separate department. The entertain
ment features from the Royal Marine
Band of Italy down to Little Nero, the
four-year-old acrobat, are Of the high
est order and never before have been
equalled at the fall fruit fairs in Spo-
kane.
Last year the fruit exhibits all were
accommodated in one tent, 50x12S. This
year a larger tent was set aside for
these exhibits, but it has been found
that it is far too small and that 1t will
be necessary to build another the same
size as the first. The fruit displays
therefore will fill two large tents, each
of which is 6Ox15O feet in size. An
: other tent, 5Ox128 feet, will be filed
) with garden truck, grains and grasses.
Therefore, instead of four large tents,
! as last year, this time there will be
. Ave and there are indications that they
al will be crowded more than they were
year ago.

Americans In England.

Lonuon, Sept. 24.--Charles Yerkes'
London railroad deal, the purchase OF the
franchise of the Charing Cross, Euston 4
Hampstead (underground), creates consid- |
cradle interest. He is said to be payingl
fl,9OO,OOO for the right, which has yielded
the promoters handsome profit. The
present plans of the syndicate involve
nearly I4O,OOO,OOO. The fact that all the
capital is coming from America and the
English are not asked to subscribe creates
astonishment which the Daily Telegraph
well voices, saying: Further develop
ments in connection with electric traction
are talked Of by Mr.. Yerkes, but by far
the most startling development is the
change which such events as the building
of an underground road in London with
American capital proves to have taken
place. in the economic conditions OF the
United States.
"Until the last few days Europe had to
supply large part of the capital needed
for the development Of American indus
tries. In 1896 it was foreign capital thai
saved her from disaster. Now her capital
lists are not only subscribing to English
war loans in exchequer bonds and Ger
man treasury bills, but an American syn
dicate declares its intention OF spending
several millions in order to build a rail
way in London on which, at the best, tn
profit can be but medium"

mand at the start was little sluggish and
the bidding was considerably lower than
equal kinds sold a week ago. The owners
evidently had not expected any reaction I'm
prices, consequently they were very slow
in transferring their consignments and
only about one-fifth of the supply passed
under the hammer in the forenoon. In the
afternoon there was little more anima-
ton in the bidding and a shade better
prices were realized than in the morning.
but generally the best heavy grades were
considered s. to $40 per head lower than a
week ago. The continued general demand
for the class of horses weighing LOO to
1,4O0 lbs made IL possible to negotiate
sales at nearly steady prices. and there
was not a great deal OF change on high
class harness horses, but the less desirable
coachers and light drivers did not sell at
as satisfactory prices as last week. Chunks
were reported at ss0d125. heavier animals
at sl25N165, and coachers from sl10 up
ward. Among the notable consignments
was that of Lon Young, of Crawfordsville,
including bay coach horse that was con-
siderably better than the average in
quality, action and conformation that sold
to Ike Strouss, Of New York City. for $500.
which was the highest price obtained In
the auction.

WHEAT in AN ADVANCE

Corn Weakened i'm Face of Liverpool

CHICAGO, March 27.-Wheat was firm to-
day. helped by smaller receipts and the
visible decrease. May closing Ac over yes
terday MAY corn closed lsc down and
May oats &c improved. Provisions were
active and firm, closing 2l9q10c higher.
The volume of business transacted in the
wheat pit was not large, trade being most
ly of a scalping nature. The cash bust
ness was slack, only $4,000 bushels being
reported sold here last night for export.
The market acted somewhat like an over
sold one, as it took but little-sometimes
almost nothing-to send shorts TO cover
May opened a shade down at 653sG651sc
influenced by lower cables, and shortly
afterward touched 652sc The moderate re-
ceipts caused covering at the decline and
May rallied to 65%c, but met with profit
taking and eased to 65lkc The decrease in
the worlds visible, where a liberal increase
had been expected, came as further sup
port, and May again took up the advance,
| this time touching 66c. AT the top there
was more raking in of profits by scalpers,
but the loss was slight and the market
closed firm with May Ac up, at 65s4c. Pri-
mary receipts were 5000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 49S cars, against TIC
last week and 514 a year ago. Local re-
ceiptS were Seventy-one cars, one of con-
| tract grade. Atlantic port clearances in
wheat and flour were equal to 364 900
| bushels. New York reported twenty-five
loads taken for export.
With Liverpool ssQs4d higher at the close
the local corn market persisted in going
down, closing easy. Country acceptances
were small as usual Seaboard cearances
were S04. 900 bushels, and New York put to-
days business at fifty loads for export.
Primary receipts were 939 900 bushels COM
pared with 2S4000 last year. Trade was less
active than yesterday. Longs let out a
| few lines, which materially assisted in de-
pressing the price. Local receipts were S97
| carS-twenty-eight cars under the esti-
! closed 1sc down, at 3Sq3S1sc.
The oats market was firm without being
very active. There was a fair demand for
domestic shipment, and the export de-
mand was somewhat improved in order to
| work cargoes before the export rate adj
| vances April 2. Local receipts We're 403
