SEPTEMBER WHEAT
ADVANCES TO 85C.
Advance Due to Covering of Short
Contracts-Asailnb1 Supply Near

Elevator Company.

CHICAGO. September 2s.-September
wheat to-day gave strong evidence of d
consested condition. advancing from
793sc.. the bottom price at the opening. to
S5c., gain of nearly 10 cents over yester-
days bottom prices.
To-days sharpness of advance, like
yesterdays, was due to covering of short
contracts. although to-day's operations
in that line We're said to have been on
a smaller scale Yesterday the demand
came chiefly by an influential house.
To-day the demand came chiefly from
outside shorts, representing numerous,
but generally small lines.
The running of corners on the Boaro
of Trade has been enjoined by the
courts but it is stated that the available
supply of contract wheat is nearly all in
the hands of a prominent elevator COM
pany. Representatives of this company
did not sell openly to-day, but We're cred
tied with letting out some September
through other houses. This relief became
effective at the top price. and before
noon the price had reacted to 81 1-Sc.
The short interest is believed to repre-
sent 100000 and 100000 of bushels

PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-(spe-

According to the records of the hospital.
the average number of cases of this
kind annually is 365. or one for every day
in the year. Nearly every one of the
cases is operated on successfully.

NEW YORK, September 23.-(Special.J
Hard coal is being sold here at "a cent

assert they can get any price they de-
mand if they have anthracite coal Gent
a pound coal is being sold only by small
dealers, who retail it by the bushel and

dealers who have small quantities of
hard coal. They are compelled to pay
very high prices for it, and maintain that
after paying freight and drayage they
have a very small profit left
1t is on the East Side and in the poorer
districts thai coal costs a "cent a pound"
To cook an ordinary dinner under the
most economical conditions, requires at
least twelve or fifteen pounds of coal.
The increase in price has run the cost of
living UP enormously, and only those peo-
pie who are compelled to buy coal in
small quantities know how quickly a
painful is consumed.
Twelve or fifteen pounds of hard coal,
sufficient to cook a meal. can be put in
an ordinary dinner bucket.
Ordinary flour used in most households
costs a cent and half a pound when
retailed in small lots.
The question of fuel has become one
which every family is now compelled to
figure on. as with provisions.
Large coal dealers throughout this city
continue to quote prices on coal varying
from s11.5o to s14 a ton, but they admit
that it is purely perfunctory matter, and
that they cannot and do not sell much
at any price, as they have exhausted their
supply.
The statement that newly-mined coal
is being shipped into New York in train
load lots is denied by coal dealers. They
say that no coal has been received here
for general distribution in New York for
many weeks, and that while some wash
cry coal is being received high prices are
paid for 1t at the mines by men who
have contracts which must be fulfilled.
Dealers say that all hard coal will con-
tinue to advance each day until the strike
is broken and the men begin working on
full time. The few tons being mined in
scattered localities, they say are hardly;
more than sufficient for local consump-s
tion.
