THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. Sept. 9.-Wheat developed
unexpected strength. Receipts in the

oils and Duluth as for the corresponding
day last year. The foreign markets also
failed to respond to our weakness of yes
terday. Grading Northwest was poor,
and prices OF cash wheat there firm
Staked wheat in Kansas was said to be
in rather poor condition, as rule. The
world visible supply increased 3,S13,00O
bushels, against 2,529,O00 bushels in
crease the corresponding week last year
There was influential local buying, and
this brought large number of follow
ers to the same side.
Corn-Started weak, but 1t speedily
gained strength and closed at a sub
stantial advance all around. Accept
ances In the country were less than half
those OF the previous day, and estimates
for tomorrow were only eighty cars. The
cold weather was unfavorable for the
maturing of corn and kept short sellers
out OF the market.
Oats-1n oats there was the same sort
OF local professional buying, as in other
grain, with the resultant failing on of
large and miscellaneous following and
higher range of prices. There was an
increase of $4,000 bushels in the stock
of standard oats this week. Cash oats
were steady, with the demand slow.
Cash buyers were not willing to take
hold very freely, despite the strength
in futures.
Provisions-Trading in provisions was
rather light. There was a big trade in
cash stuff.

Two Citizens Allege Colored Man At
tempted to Pass Worthless Check.

The police are on the lookout for a
colored man with light skin, who is
described as being about twenty-one
years of age, five feet, seven or eight
inches, weighing about $50 pounds.
William R. Brown, of 1921 Fifth Street
northwest, and B. F. Finger, of Seventh
and Pomeroy Streets northwest, made
complaints to the police that the negro
tried to pass a worthless check on them.
1t is likely the same check was used
in each case. 1t was for S4, and was
made payable to Frank Williams. and
purported to have been signed by a
Seventh Street merchant. In each case
the party on whom the negro tried to
work his game called up the merchant
by telephone. and learned that the check
was forgery.

WILLIAMS WOULD COME BACK.
Wants to Return to His Wife, Whom
He Is Said to Have Treated Badly.

Captain Boardman received a letter
from indianapolis, Ind, last night,
signed by colored man named Fred
Williams, who stated that he formerly
lived in this city. Williams inclosed a
letter to his wife, whom he thinks lives
in Washington, and asked that the letter
be forwarded to her.
From the letter it appears that when
Williams lived in this city he was a
bold, bad man. and was in trouble all
of the time. and frequently treated his
wife badly, to say nothing of handling
her roughly with his fists. Williams
says he has gotten religion" and Is
sorry for his msdeeds and hopes to come
back shortly to live with her in peace
and happiness. Incidentally, he says, he
is now locked up in the Indiana city on
charge of assault with intent to kill
