ALL CEREALS ARE ACTIVE
WHEAT FIRM AND HIGHER, BUT
CORN AND OATS ARE DEPRESSED.
Favorable Weather and Heavy Re-
ceipts Have Little Eject on the
Market-PrOvisiOns Decline.

CHICAGO. Oct. 1o-Despite the favorable
weather, which depressed corn and oats,
wheat held firm to-day. December wheat
closed hQAc higher, December corn 1k@5sc
lower and December oats Ac down. Janu-
ary provisions at the close were unchanged
to 10c depressed.
There was a strong undertone in wheat
in spite of the bearish news and the weak
ness In corn. Lower cables, increased re-
ceipts and a continuation of excellent
weather were the main bear factors. How
ever, in the face of such conditions, the
local sentiment was bullish, and commits
sion houses bought freely. The strength
came principally from the strong tone of
the markets in the Northwest, and some
buying was attributed to that source.
Trading in May was the feature Decem-
ber opened shade lower to a shade higher
at 69Ac to 697sc, and with the downward
course of corn there was a slight decline
to 695sc. but commission-house buying soon
advanced the price, and after selling at
7Olsc the close was b@Ac higher at 7Oc
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to $4,000 bu. Primary receipts were .30l. 900
bu, compared with 1,2030 900 bu year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
81 cars, only one of contract grade made
total receipts for the three points of 994
cars, against 909 cars last week and 1,0l3
cars a year ago.
There was a repetition of yesterdays
selling pressure In corn, and large
amount of long stuff was unloaded on the
market, which weakened under the heavy
offerings. Lower cables, weather and ru-
mors of a change in grading were the de-
pressing influences. The prominent long
who unloaded yesterday was again on the
selling side, and, ii was rumored, disposed
of over three million bushels the first hour
of the session. The buying was scattered
December solo between 47%c and 4Shc
closing 1bd%c lower at 47%c. Local receipts
were l23 cars, with % of contract grade
Oats were more active than of late and
a large commission house selling was the
feature Considering the heavy selling
pressure prices were well maintained offer
ings being we'll taken. good cash de-
mand had a strengthening tendency. and
the close was steady. December closed &c
lower at &c, after selling between 31%c and
32Hc Local receipts were l62 cars
Provisions opened weak with lower prices
of hogs and in sympathy with corn. There
was considerable selling pressure, and
weakness prevailed until late in the day
when fair buying by prominent packer
helped prices. January pork closed lOc
lower at SIS 55. January lard was unchanged
at IS S21z, with ribs shade lower at SS 2O0l
spy.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat.
80 cars; corn, 2l5 cars; oats. 205 cars; hogs

WILL NOT STRIKE WATER.
Boston Pr essor Demonstrates
Fact Regarding Lightning.

BOSTON, Oct. 1o.-Experiments con-
Quoted by Prof. John Trowbridge. Of Har-
ward University. have led to the definite
statement that lightning Will not strike
water BY means of a battery of twenty
Thousand cells he obtained voltage of six
million, which force, he says, is at least
comparable to lightning, and enabled him
to deduce his conclusions. He says:
with my battery 1 was able to obtain
electric sparks ABOUT seven feet long. and
found that instead OF striking the water a
spark of six or seven feet in length invari-
ably jumped to some adjacent object in
preference to striking the liquid surface.
A spark OF only a few inches in length,
however, will strike the water, but such a
spark Is not comparable 10 lightning. Be-
yond a million volts the initial resistance
OF atmospheric air TO electric discharge be-
comes less and less, and the discharge is.
therefore. shunted through the air instead
of through the water, and strikes some
object adjacent to the water.
