of the residents almost refuse to be-

1t really was.
Once every six months or so the Po-
lice department may be depended upon
to utter a manifesto to fortune tellers
and astrologers, and give a certain
limited time in which the fortune tell
ers may make themselves scarce If
they want to avoid arrest and prose-
cution. Nevertheless, there are las
many fortune tellers in Akron today
as there ever have been, and it is safe
to predict that in six months there
will be as many here as there aee
now.

Building to Have
Dormitories.
How Many Young Men
Want Rooms?
Secretary Hooper Is After
Information.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion is desirous to know what demand
there would be for dormitories in it's
proposed building.
1t was thought when the idea of an
association was first conceived that
$4,000 building would be adequate. II
such building were erected 1t would
be heavy drain on the citizens each
year to support it. Plans now call Tor
a $4,000 building, which will return
a revenue to the work.
To get this revenue it is contem.
plated putting two floors of dormitories
in the building. These rooms will be
well furnished and have steam heat,
electric light and hot and cold water.
There will be some suites with private
bath. There will be first class cafe in
the building. Ali those who room
in the building will be entitled to all
the privileges Of the association.
The Association desires to know
young men who would like such rooms,
and what they woulu be willing to pay
for same. 1t will be strong argument
for the citizens of Akron to contribute
$4,000 If they are assured that the
rooms will be occupied after the build
ing is completed. Young men interest
ed should address a postal to General
Secretary r. G.. Hooper, 502 Hamilton

1t is unfortunate for Akron that the
Tuesday Musical club has been obliged
to abandon its course OF evening con-
certs for this season. The fault lies
not in the club, nor yet can blame be
attached altogether to the public. A
great reason for the clubs failure to
sell the usual number of tickets Is
found in the fact that there are many
other things to attract attention, and
afford profitable entertainment. The
number of these attractions has un-
doubtedly Increased during the past
few years. However, It is more than
likely that season without the ex-
cellent concerts the Tuesday club has
ever provided, will be quite enough
for Akron music lovers, and this or
some other organization will probably
have no trouble In dlsposlng of a suffi-
cient number of tickets next year TO
insure renewal of the concert
courses of the past.

RISE In EXCHANGE RATE
PREsAGEs GOLD EXPORTS IN THE
VERY EARLY FUTURE.
Stocks Decline steadily Until Near
the CIose-Heavy Pressure on
Number of Principal Issues.

NEW YORK, Nov achievements in the
stock market to-day were characterized by
the various influences incidental to cleo
ton week, together with other and perhaps
more potent reasons. Sterling exchange
reached the highest point in the present
movement. some demand bills being sold
at A.s7. which is within a quarter of a
cent of the figure at which gold can admit
tedly be exported profitably. The accu-
mutation of commercial bills over Sunday
was hardly equal to the demand Paris
exchange on London declined half cent
and bar gold advanced II in London. 1t
was not denied that some banks and firms
were earnestly considering shipments of
gold in the very near future.
The rise in exchange was doubtless in a
great measure responsible for the check
on stock-market operations. though the
volume of business for the day was not
lower than for some days past. Opening
prices were lower, the greatest decline be-
ing In Louisville e. Nashville, which sold
off over a point. Less extensive declines
were shown by Atchison, Baltimore &
Ohio. Missouri Pacific. st. Paul. Union Pa
cific and Reading. The demand for this
latter stock was large, but offerings were
free. Manhattan, a feature of last weeks
pool operations, made slight fractional
decline. and the other fractions were heavy.
Later in the morning fresh selling pressure
developed and some of the stocks named
went lower. London bought about 10 900 on
the decline. The only industrial issue that
displayed any activity was United States
Steel, the heaviness of which was pre-
sumGDly due TO reports OF disturbing con-
ditions in the steel and iron industry. A
reminder of this was furnished by the
American Tin Plate Company, which an
nounced material cut in the price of it's
products. Trading In the early afternoon
was even more circumscribed and profess
sional, with a partial resumption of pool
operations in few issues, chiefly Toledo,
81. Louis * Western. Traders professed
haitian and other Gould stocks. Commits
sion houses, as we'll as brokers with wire
connexions, were out of the market,
though the liquidation in B. & o. and
Louisville q Nashville seemed to come
from the West. In the final hour a gen.

well as better view of the political situa-

Fairly Good Demand Prevents Any Sc

ON the Weakness of Corn.

CHICAGO. Nov. 3.-wheat ruled weak on
the Board of Trade to-day. statistics in
general being extremely bearish and the
close was steady, with December wheat I1c
lower, corn 11c lower and oats down lsc.
January provisions closed unchanged to 71zc
lower.
Trading in wheat was on a fairly large
scale, with considerable doing in the way Of
liquidation. Statistics were all against
higher prices-lower cables. heavy worlds
shipments. large increase in visible and
large primary receipts causing extreme
weakness at the opening. Heavy shipments
from Russia-5.O0O,O00 bu, compared with
about 100000 the same week last year
were one of the main depressing influences.
Good cash demand in the Northwest and
fair export demand were strengthening fac
tors. Longs liquidated freely throughout
the day, but shorts covered toward the end
In order to even up over the holiday, while
there was some buying on the large Duluth
business. December opened 1sQAc to ssQ$ic
lower at 7lssc to 7l7sc, and on general sell
ing of May declined to 71kc. There was a
slight rally toward the end of the session
and the close was at 7112Q1ssc, with loss
of &c. Worlds shipments for the week
were 13126.OO0 blu. compared with 1O957.OO0 a
year ago. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to $4,000 bu Primary receipts
were l,SllOO bu, against 1,4l0.WO bu last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts or 1,296 cars, which, with local re-
ceipts OF 1872 cars. of contract grade, made
total OF LAS cars, against ], 40o last week
and 1,202 year ago.
There was fair trade in corn, but prices
were weak and lower due principally to
lower cables and weakness in wheat. A
prominent long sold considerable May,
which caused a break in that option
and also affected the nearby deliveries.
Good general buying developed at the
decline, causing a rally late in the
day, and the close was steady. Unsettled
weather in the Southwest and small re-
ceipts were bull factors December closed
1sc lower at 50ssc, after selling between 1880
and 5O1ec. Receipts were 201 cars, 80 of con-
tract grade.
Oats ruled weak in sympathy with the
lower prices in other grains. A good cash
demand held prices fairly steady, prevent
ing any severe breaks Although there was

with December hc lower at 1855 G292sc, after
ranging between 29Aq29%c. Receipts were
265 cars.
Provisions opened strong, although condi-
tons were against higher prices, receipts of
hogs at the yards being smaller than esti-
mated and corn lower. Locals and shorts
were good buyers and the market advanced
quickly early in the day, but declined again
on weakness in grains. The close was
steady, with January pork sc lower at
S15271a; lard closed NC lower at $3.50, while
ribs were unchanged at sS.10@S.121e.
The Board of Trade will be closed to-
morrow. Estimated receipts: Wheat, AS
