with 500 cars, against 303. Minneapolis
getting 943, against 321. In Chicago in
terest was largely diverted to corn. There
is talk of an enormous shortage of De-
cember corn, probably not less than 90
100000 blu, while there is only about
1,000,000 bu contract corn in Chicago Ev-
tween now and December, and here opin-
ion is divided. Many in Chicago are al
ready beginning to. believe the shorts will
not be able to make good on December
contracts, but the Southwest is bearish,
and it is the expectation there that the
corn movement later on will be surprising
ly heavy.
In the wheat news there was nothing
encouraging. Wednesday there were the
estimates of the Russian grain crops on
the bear side; yesterday it was the
cording to the French millers' assocta-
ton France has raised $4,000, 600 blu wheat
more than last year. and $500 900 Blu
re1t y taan IS n put f0 at seq bu
pared with 329, 900, 900 blu in 1901, and
313 900 900 in 1900. All these are millers'
figures. The official figures are always
lower than those of the millers In 1901
the official report made the yield 1926 00O,-
900 blu, 4,000,0 600 less than the millers' es-
innate, and in 1900 So4,O00.00O. or 100000
blu less than the millers. From this it
is fair to assume that the official report
will be less this year as well. The bull
letin Des Halles says France has raised
in the present crop 345, 100000 bu, or
27.00o,Oo0 blu less than estimated by the
millers. The bulletin Des Halles is an or
gan Of the French farmers, and is likely
to err slightly on the side of conserva-
tiveness, as the millers are on the other
side. Liverpool was unchanged at the
opening; but closed A@%d up.
Duluth is already complaining Of the
Manitoba wheat, although it is a little
early yet for that competition. Canadian
grain firms. the Duluth men say, are al
ready cutting under them on offers to
Eastern markets. Primary receipts were

VOLCANO IN A LAKE
ACROSS MEXICAN LINE
Action of Body Of Water Brighten
Both Whites and Indians.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 20.-Judge
Henry Redwine brings here story of
an active volcano in smoking lake
across the Mexican line. Indians who
formerly lived in the neighborhood
have moved away since the lake began
spouting columns of smoke, and white
settlers near there are seriously con-
sidering the same course.
The lake Is fourteen miles long and
about three miles broad. The water
on the surface is almost constantly
boiling and at times is thrown into
the air In gigantic columns, amid
which fire plays, producing weird eff
fects Great columns of mud are also
thrown up from the bed of the lake,
and the phenomena are accompanied
by trembling of the earth and sub
terranean noise like thunder.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Shorts IN Septem-

on. on the board of trade and, as result the
OF a that the hgS
wheat closed Bc higher; December corn
and oats Were each sc higher, while pro-
visions closed firm, unchanged to &c
higher.
Higher cables lent strength to wheat
at the opening, but with the exception Of
September the market exhibited little
f rail- power the day Me
ing. the early part of the session was
feature and caused a sharp advance.
One important feature to trade was the
account: The close. was strong with a
sharp demand for September Septem-
Der opened unchanged at soc, advanced to
84Ac and reacted Slightly with rally at
the close which was 4Ac higher at S41Ac.
Course of December.
December opened unchanged to M@Ac
higher at 6s5sc to $3.50. The close was
Ne higher at 69A @6Sasc Primary re-
bu last year. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 271000 blu. Mime
apolis and Duluth reported receipts Of 912
cars and local receipts were IA cars, 6
contract. making total for the three
points of 1,056 cars, aaginst 1875 last week
and TAB cars year ago.
Corn was active and strong, with good
buying by outsiders as well as by scalp
erS ana commission houses. wet weather
was the principal bull factor, although
higher cables helped to hold prices firm.
With prospects of there being a shortage
in December corn. shorts took fright and
covered freely. On the bulge there was
considerable realizing by local longs which
eased prices somewhat. December opened
A@Ac to as@15c higher at ASH to 46c,
sold up to 463s @461ac, closing &c higher
at 45Ac. Local receipts were 259 cars,
with 68 cars Of contract grade.
Oats and Provisions.
The market for oats was dull but firm,
with no particular. feature to the trade.
Commission houses were good buyers, IN
fiuenced by the wet weather and light re-
ceipts. December opened 1s@Ac higher
at BIZ @313sc, sold between 311sc and
31kc, closing sc higher at the high point.
Local receipts were 142 cars.
There was but little trading in provis-
ions and prices were fairly steady. with
slight advance early, caused by fair de-
mand from locals. January option was
most in demand. January pork closed SC
higher at $15.40 after selling between
SIS .15@15.40. Lard was unchanged at
.771s and ribs sc higher at $500.

KATE CLAYTON ENJOYED.

It is not often that a stage celebrity visits Newport and Kate Claxton with a clever company in presentation of "The Two Orphans' was well received by very fair audience at the opera house Saturday night.
 The drama is deeply pathetic, at least the acting of this star makes it so. Tears come to the eyes of those who are not wont to thus display their sense of feeling. The leading lady is quite elderly, but moves with an agil- ity and grace of younger years. Her support was good and the whole exc ' cution of the play conspired to make the performance strong and success full.

UNCLE JOE WAS HONEST.

 Uncle Joe Cannon's speeches before the house are said to possess a flaw which might prove injurious to his reputation as an orator if the fervent old gentleman's buoyant zeal and good nature did not offset it. And he knows this as we'll as any of his crit ics.
 A few days after his speech on the status of national finances last session went into the Congressional Record, friend went to him with the remark "That was mighty good speech of yours, Uncle Joe.' J
 "Yes," was the response, "Courts gets up good speech
 Courts Jim Courts of West Tennes- see lis the clerk of MT. Cannon's com mittee on appropriations and is an eminent celebrity as such at the capital.
 "Did Courts write that 5peech?' was the obvious question.
 MT. Cannon lighted his cigar and then answered, "Certainly. You might have known it was not mine The sentences. are all completed.
