Chicago. ILL.,. Oct. 15.-The strength
of wheat in Northwest and the strong
corn market had some influence. but
there was nothing developed to account
for the change in sentiment that an
peared to be general to-day. Buying
was of the best character from COM
mission houses, the Northwest, South
west and as a rule the local crowd
wanted wheat. There was an unusual
ly large demand for May, and at times
trading was confined almost exclusive
ly to this option.
There was a tendency to sell oats
at opening, but buying by local shorts
and the strength of corn steadied the
market and continued buying resulted
in small advance. The market
closed firm. Trade was light. interest
in corn detracting from this market.
Provisions ruled strong and higher.
There was a little local selling at the
opening on increased hog receipts, and
the easy tone of the market at the
yards, but the demand for January
and May stuff by brokers caused stead
mess and late buying by commission
houses, and the strength in grain adj
vanced prices. The close was firm and
generally higher. Nearby products
were also strong.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
STEAMBOAT LOUISE To RETURN
TO-DAY FROM JACKSONVILLE.

She Has Been Running ON the st.
Johns River Five Months for the
Clyde Iine-COttOR Movement on
River Going to Aueusth-Matter
of Interest 10 shippers and Sea-
men.
After a five-months' absence the
steamboat Louise is expected back
from the st. Johns river to-day. She
is owned by the Southern Transporta-
tion Company. who chartered her TO
the Clyde Line to run on the St. Johns
river between Jacksonville and San
ford 10 take the place OF the steam
boat City Of Jacksonville which the
Clyde people send North every summer
TO run on an excursion route. The boat
is expected to pick up all local freight
for the Clyde Line along the river for
about 200 miles The Louise gave per-
feet satisfaction while in the service
of the Clyde For several years the
Southern Transportation Company
have been furnishing the boat for this
service Until she was burned. the
steamer Harry G.. Day was generally
sent down. Capt. w. T Gibson, gem
eral manager of the Southern, returned
>
went TO wind up all business in con-
nection with the return of the Louise.
More extensive mill operations at
Augusta are said TO be the cause of
a diversion of the river cotton move
ment from Savannah to Augusta. I'm
til this season Savannah generally re-
ceived about 10000 bales to Augustus
1000 Now Augusta gets about 5000
to Savannah's 1000. One reason for
this change in the movement is said
TO be the retirement of Savannah fac
tors who advanced to planters in that
territory and in that way brought the
cotton TO this city. Now considerable
advancing is being done from Augusta.
The mills are large consumers there.
and take all the cotton the boats land
there. Planters find a ready market
for their cotton, hence are taking it
there. Some steamboat men claim the
river crop is short this season, which
is also having its effect upon the move
ment to Savannah.
The steamship Barenfels was posted
at the Cotton Exchange yesterday to
arrive Oct 25 for Bremen and Ham

ing corn progressed rapidly between
showers, so that before the close of
the month the corn area was practical
ly planted. The seed was generally
good, and fair stand of corn was Sc
cured, with not more than the usual
amount of replanting. Cultivation
was begun early, and in portions of
the state where the rainfall was about
normal, or less than normal, the crop
was most thoroughly cleaned and
made most satisfactory progress. AS
a whole corn was rated in high condi-
tiOn on June /.
The :copious rains, though not so
favorable for corn planting and culti-
waiting, were highly favorable to grass
in pastures and meadows, and caused
a heavy growth of all small grain
crops, except in portions of the north
west district spring wheat, oats and
barely showed tendency to rankness,
causing some apprehension Of damage
by lodging and rust. The potato crop
was generally very promising at the
close of the month, and garden truck
was seldom in better condition at the
corresponding date.
Secretary Greene, of the State Horti-
cultural Society, issued for June
the following summary as to condition
of fruit:
Apples. IS per cent; American

A country minister in certain To-
cality took permanent leave of his
congregation in the following pathetic
manner: brothers and sisters,
have come to say goodbye. l don't
think God loves this church, because
none of You ever die. I don't think
you love one another, because I never
marry any of you. don't think you
love me, because you have not paid
my salary your donations are mouldy
fruit and wormy apples, and by their
fruits We shall know them. Brothers
I am going away to better place. I
have been called to be chaplain of a
penitentiary. Where go, We cannot
come, but go to prepare a place a
place for you, and may the Lord have
mercy ON your souls. Goodbye

Register and Leader Consolidate.

The announcement was made on
Saturday evening of the consolidation
of the Iowa State Register and Des
Moines Leader, two of the greatest
and best known papers of Iowa. 1t
is remembered that few days days
ago Mr.. Geo. E. Roberts, director of
the q. S. mint, purchased the Iowa
State Register, and the deal for this
consolidation of the two Des Moines
papers has since been made. The
consolidated paper was issued yester-
day morning for the first time and is
called the Register and Leader. The
incorporators of the new company are
Geo. E. Roberts, director of the mint,
M. u. O'Connell, solicitor of the
treasury, and Samuel Strauss, of the
Leader. Mr.. Clarkson, of the Register
and Mr.. Dawson, of the Leader, retire.
Mr.. Strauss will be secretary and
treasurer of the new company and act
as publisher, while Mr.. Roberts, with
Harvey Ingham, editor of the Algona
Upper Des Moines, as associate, will
have charge of the editorial depart
ment. This change is of state wide
interest, inasmuch as it effects two of
the greatest papers of Iowa, and
several Of her great men. The con-
solidation ought to result in the pub
lication of great newspaper, in
every way worthy to assume a front
rank among the great papers of the
country.
