WHEAT RULED LOVER
Reports Of Rain in Argentina
and Lower Cables Caused
Early Weakness.
Corn Started Lower in Sympathy
With Wheat..The Range
Narrow.
Good Cattle 10 to 20 Cents High.
er. Others Steady..Hoes
5to 10 Lower.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Lower cables and
reports of grain in Argentina caused
December to open V lower at 7l@i1M
today. There was some outside demand
| for May, but offerings We're very liberal
both for the long account and the short
sellers. The pressure was not enough to
break the market and prices fluctuated
narrowly. Statistics were mixed in their
influences. Northwestern receipts were
smaller and there was considerable de-
crease in breadstuffs on passage, but
these We're offset somewhat By de-
creased worlds shipments.
Reports that the rains in Argentina
would not check the crop damage sent
shorts scurrying to cover and December
rose to 713s. but later dullness eased the
market and the close was SOL lower
at III.
December corn started II to Y lower
at 56AG57B on easier cables, and in
sympathy with the wheat trade, the
market holding steady turnout the first
hour.
December corn reacted on wheat In
fluence to Sis and closed easy, Is lower
at 563s.
Oats were easier following other
grains. December opened u off at 1874,
but on fair outside demand sold at 361a,
declining to 36A on profit taking.
Provisions were dull and lower on the
sflepreSSed hing market

KING LIKEs.DlsPLAY.
Edward VII. Shows Love Of Pomp and
Paueantry,

Edward VII. Shows Love Of Pomp and
Pageantry.
London, Oct. 2S.-ISing Edwards love
OF pomp and the circumstances Of roy.
atty, upon which London t-adesmer
confidently count for profitable seasons
SO soon as the period of official mourn
ing for the late Queen Victoria termi-
mates, two months from now, has al
ready been well indicated.
Ever since the proclamation Of the
kings accession at Westminster Abbey
in spite of the court being still III
mourning, the subjects of Edward VII
have seen the outward and visible signs
of the existence of q royal court to
which they have been strangers fol-
many years.
The arrivals and departures of King
Edward and Queen Alexandra are now
always marked in the capital with a
considerable amount of that spectacular
ceremonial SO dear to Londoners. Mill
tary guards of honor in full dress uni
form, elueries in attendance, splendid
carriages drawn by the magnificent
bays for which the royal stables are 80
famous, have been constantly in evil
dence.
The state and court officials. who In
the late years of Queen Victorias reign
enjoyed practical sintcure, have now
to be OH the qui vive. On the occasion
of the kings last visit but one to Lon
don telegram arrived here early in the
morning commanding the attendance OF
two off cials within an hour Of the king s
arrival. Both We're out of town. They
had been accustomed to lengthy notice
whenever Queen Victoria made one of
her rare visits to her capital, and had
rot realized the possibility of being
called to duty at moments notice.
With this feeling they felt they could
safely lie ont of reach, but King Edward
in overlooking their fault, gave it to be
clearly understood that it must not hap
pen again.
In keeping with this revival of regal
state are the alterations and improve
ments which have already been carried
out or are row proceeding at Windsor
Castle and Buckingham palace. Elec-
trio light has been installed in both resi-
dences The state apartments are being
refurnished and redecorated and eleyat-
org and other modern conyeniences are
in process of installation.
At buckingham palace also the
grounds are being altered extensively.
Lawn tennis and cricket spaces Will be
laid down.

AN EXPERT
COMMENDS 1T.

There is no abatement in the inter-
est centering about the oil fields to
the north of this city. The RECORD
has, during the past few weeks, had
several items in which the progress
of the work was made public. At no
time has there been signs of discour-
agement. The presence of oil on the
surface of the waters filling the creeks
and the unbroken flow at the Cassedy
spring is sufficient to justify the most
sanguine expectations. 1t is true
some exploration work has been done
in the past, but it was not sufficient
to thoroughly prospect the ground.
These conditions have materially
changed within short time The
grounds have been critically examined
by some of the best oil experts in the
United States, but more especially by
those better posted regarding the oil
fields in the west and in California,
and by these gentlemen the location
and the formation of the country, the
