CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Oct. 17.-There was fur
ther enormous swelling of the volume
OF business and continued net advances
In prices. The May was again rela-
lively stronger than the December. Ex-
treme top figures were not maintained,
owing to the popular disposition to take
profits on the swells. 1t is expected
that there will be very little, If any, in
crease in the visible supply this week,
owing to the record breaking production
of flour in the Northwest. Although
they failed to reflect fully our advance
OF yesterday, the reports from there in
d1cated firm market and reported the
wheat crop of the United Kingdom the
poorest in twenty years, with not over
30 per cent of 1t of milling quality. AL
though heavy professionals at one time
put enough long wheat on sale to break
the market nearly / cent from the top.
everything was speedily absorbed at the
reduction, and the market again quickly
developed its former stubborn undertone
OF strength.
Corn-In corn, as in wheat, there was
Iurther enormous broadening out of the
market and every Indication that pub
NC interest is fast being turned toward
this grain. The scarcity of the arrivals
at southwestern centers. section where
a large crop was supposed to have been
has materially helped to turn
the tide toward higher values.
Commission houses of all sorts had
orders from every point of the compass
today. The demand was so great that

the big bull leaders, who had previously
Deen SO correct in weighing up the situa.
tion. The latter were disposed to take
profits on swells today, but found 1t very
difhcult to reinstate the grain on reac-
lions. Although speculative interest, as
heretofore. was mainly in December, the
trade in May nevertheless showed a tire.

sponded accordingly. The short interest
In the more distant months is large and

continues good, even at the advanced
prices, and cash continues at stiff prem
iums over futures.

cash grain houses. who led the buying.
Provisions-Despite liberal profit-tak-
Ing, provisions scored a substantial ad-
vance. The good shipping demand for

light. The movement of hogs to market
is moderate. and the average weight |
light enough to show material deficiency

EDISON ON NEW BATTERY.
THE INVENTOR THINKS 1T WILL STAND
ENDURANCE TEST NEXT WEEK

Talking further about his new storage battery
yesterday, Mr.. Edison said that the recent tests
were made with the first twenty -one cells turned
cut from his factory. They were not manu-
featured by hand especially for test purposes
but are true samples of the product he hopes
soon to put on the market Each cell weighed
a trife less than sixteen pounds. and the whole
battery had weight of 3S2 pounds. The box
Enclosing IT added nineteen pounds to these fig
ures. and raised the total to 351 pounds. The
vehicle, including the battery and two men,
weighed eleven hundred pounds. The battery
constituted trifie less than one-third of the
load TO be moved.
Mr.. Edison still sticks to his estimate of last
spring 20 the weight necessary for a horse
power hour. He does not expect to reduce this
below ifty-three or ffty-fve pounds for general
commercial work The go pounds just men
toned was equivalent to six horsepower hours.
on special orders for which an extra price
would be asked, it might be possible TO get the
weight down 20 forty pounds This gain would
be effected by using thinner sheet steel to
make the pockets. which contain his iron and
nickel briouettes The steel he intends to at
present is .0035 inch thick. If he should substi
tute .003 inch or .002 inch metal. the cell would
weigh less, but it would cost him more. He must
pay the manufacturer two and one-half times as
much for .0si2 inch steel for .0035 inch steel.
The endurance tests. which are to begin next
Monday, Will be conducted with five vehicles
supplied by different manufacturers Mr.. Ed
son merely furnishes the battery. Each auto
mobile will be run for five thousand miles con-
tinuously, if it holds cut. with full power and
no Stacking up for bad spots in the road. The
inventor, while hopeful that the batteries VIII
stand the ordeal without failure evidently has
some misgivings about the mechanical construc-
ton OF the carriages themselves He will not
be responsible for the latter
The closest approach 20 endurance test yet
made was Conducted last year battery was
subjected to six hundred charges and discharges
without exhibiting signs of deterioration. Mr..
Edison thinks that his battery viii stand much
more severe usage than the lead battery. He
also believes that a slightly larger proportion OF
the charge which has been put into cell can De
taken out I'm service than is deemed practicable
with the lead battery When the eighty-flVe
mile run was ended last Monday, the electricity
was all gone

TO PUSH GAMBLERS, CASES NOW.
JEROME ADVISES LIGHT FINES FOR PRIs-
ONERS WHO HAVE LONG BEEN
AWAITING TRIAL

Justice Newburger disposed of a number of
gambling cases yeCterday which had been hang
ing hre Tor some time, and District Attorney
Jerome gave notice that in the future such charges
would be pressed speedily and vigorously Before
the arraignment of the prisoners he said
may be in error and may be wrong about it, but
feel very strongly that the moral value of prose-
cutonS in this class of cases only arises where
the prosecutions are speedy and the cases are not
auoWed TO get old. The condition of the pub
lie business. both Mr.. Philbins administration
and under my own well, has been such that
these cases had TO be put TO side for the time
IN order that cases of more Importance should be
pressed But the occasion for severity l do not
think exists after the lapse of time that has oc-
CURED in these cases. Therefore in this class OF
caseS-eXcept where there may be some exceptionaf
circumstances OF which am not appraised now be-
cause do not pretend to know the facts of each
individual case-it seems to me that a moderate
fine would be sufficient.
Justice Newburger fined five prisoners who
pleaded guilty to bookmaking 800 each. and eight
S25 each for the offence.
