Chicago. Sept. 3O.-The September
wheat shorts opened that option at Sc
to-day and by noon had it up to csc,
where it closed. December ruled weak
and was off at one time hc, while
May was relatively firm. There was
not large trade in September in the
pit, but there was large settlements
outside between soc and csc. Fair
weather is predicted for Wednesday
Corn was a shade lower at the start
on heavy estimates on to-morrow's re-
ceipts. but later strengthened on buy
ing, attributed to Cudahy. The price
changes were narrow and uninterest-
ing, except in September option, where
the shorts bid prices up sharp at times.
In the afternoon December and May
showed considerable strength on COM
mission house buying There were oats
for sale at the opening, and prices
shaded slightly. Toward the close there
was demand for September, and
prices We're put up.
Provisions have been dull. Septem-
Der lard and pork were strong, with
very little trade. Ribs were neglected.
Commission houses sold lard. Hogs are
sc lower.

Murphy & Co.'s stock Letter.

New York, Sept. 30-The tempera-
ture of the market and speculation
was nationally changed to-day by the
announcement of comprehensive action
by the Secretary of the Treasury to
relieve the stringency in the money
situation. The new steps taken by the
treasury Department were recognized
as likely to be more effectual than pre-
Vlous small methods of relief. AS a.
consequence of the treasury action
money was in better supply, and after
a brief period of high rates, there was
a steady decline to more normal fig
ures. The extremely low rate quoted
at the close were recognized as largely
nominal but nevertheless a decidedly
more comfortable feeling in financial
circles regarding the futures. There
was no other news of Importance, but
sentiment was highly excited in the
last half hour by a dispatch from
washington announcing that the
PRESIDENT and a number of his high
ofnclals We're in consultation with re-
gard to action to terminate the anthra-
cite strike. Rumors were in circula-
ton all to-day that the strike was 20
be settled and the Washington adj
vices were taken as lending an air of
probability. There were reactions from
nigh prices of the day of l or ? per
cent, with an exceptional recession in
Louisville of about 5 per cent. The
speculation developed increased conf
dence as the rates for money declined.
and in the afternoon turned rampantly
bullish The stories of settlement Of
the strike were the inspiring cause
for the buoyant market. Louisville and
Nashville scored a gain of over 5 per
cent. from its lowest. The market
closed active, excited and buoyant,
with prices generally per cent. above

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Dougherty and FeIt1 Are to Bon
Twenty Rounds Tonight.


Tommy Feltz and Danny Dougherty,
in a 20-round bout tonight. will de-
eide which is the better boxer. The
bout will be held under the auspices
of the Savannah Athletic Club at Bay
and Lincoln streets. 1t will be pre-
coded by a preliminary between two
clever local boxers.
Both Dougherty and Feltz are in
good shape for the go, and barring ac-
cidents, the bout should be one of the
fastest and hardest that has been CIV
en- under the auspices of the local
club. Dougnerty and Feltz have met
before, when Danny had the best of
the argument but Feltz says he was
less strong and experienced in those
days, and thinks he can put it over
his antagonist when they meet this
time.
Besides the excellent card of bouts
that the club has already arranged
and which has been announced from
time to time in the Morning News,
other men and good ones are con-
stantly writing for openings. Among
the latest to be heard from is Young

TRADE AND FINANCE.
Continued from Ninth Page.)

1t has been very persistentIy main
tanned that the stringency of the money
market was the only cloud upon the
speculative horizon and the only draw
mack to the upward course of prices of
securities. 1t was but natural there
fore that the news of the quite drastic
measures proposed by the secretary of
the treasury for the release of sur
plus government funds to the money
market should have quickly checked
the demoralized sentiment of yester-
day. The remission of the requirement
upon national banks to maintain their
70 per cent. cash reserve against gov
eminent deposits promises to afford up
ward Of $50 000, 900 of bank reserves for
other purposes
There was no installing the stimu-
latlng effect of this possibility upon
speculative sentiment. The action of
the late market raises some question
as to the exclusive part played by the
money stringency in the stock market
depression. The sudden response to
the expectation of a coal strike settle
ment indicates that the growing bad
eHects or that struggle upon industry
In general We're becoming an increas-
ing influence upon the values of Sc

FROM WATER FRONT
STEAMSHIP LUSTLEIGH RETURNS
FROM SEA DISABLED.
PROPELLER PROBABLY LOST
WORK OF THE OLDEST CHAPLAIN
TO sEAMEN IN PORT.

MIR. Richard Webb Went I'm the Old
en- Day Aboard Every Vessel in
Fort Distributing Tracts and In
wiling sailors to Church-Steam-
ships B.ttterseu Bridge and Blue
field SaII-October Weather-Mnt-
ters of Interest TO shippers and
Mariners.
Mr.. Richard Webb is the Oldest liv-
ing chaplain to seamen in savannah
and has a record for work along the
river front which extended over sew
enteen years. He knew the harbor in
its old days, when practically all the
vessels in port were square riggers
from nearly every country of the
world. Since then a revolution has
come with the steamer the vessel of
commerce and the sailing craft a
thing the past as a carrier of much
foreign freight.
Mr.. Webb used to make his regu-
lar trips along the river front on
Fridays and Saturdays. He would
start from the City Exchange and
proceed either above or below, calling
aboard every vessel and distributing
tracts in the language of the country
from which the vessel hailed. Half of
the river front would be taken in this
way on one day, and the other half
the following day. Invitations would
be given for the sailors to attend
church, which was then conducted in
a building near the city market, and
later in the large building at Bay and
Lincoln streets. on Sundays MIR.
Webb preached. Some of the work
he had to do may be judged when it
is known that there was generally a
hundred, and at times as many as 108
vessels in port al one time.
During the Civil War Mr.. Webb was
very active among the seamen. In
those days sailing vessels carried cot
ton, as well as all other products to
go out. This brought many foreign
vessels here which are not now repre-
scented in the shipping. Mr.. Webb
found the Shetland Islanders great
church goers, though all classes us
ually showed interest In the efforts
made in their spiritual behalf. Being
at one time a sailor himself Mr.. Webb
knew pretty well how to deal with
