CENT RALLY IN WHEAT
Cash Demand Caused Futures
to Gain Strength.
BEARISH CROP REPORTS
Corn and Oats Break and Do
Not Fully Recover.

Chicago, Oct. with Increased trade
a rally occurred in wheat prices today
The volume of trading in wheat was
larger than for some time past with the
December option leading in the demand.
Opening prices were weak in sympathy
with the lower prices in corn December
being off 1sa14c to ssG19c. at 767sQ771sc,
and during the first hour Of the ses-
sion there was little change in values.
Local traders sold freely early in the
day and there was some selling by com
mission houses but the inquiry and
strength in cash wheat soon became evil
dent and this helped the future deliv-
cries. Elevator interests were good
buyers Of December later in the day and
with only light offerings the market be-
came stronger. As the session advanced
prices continued to ascend, December sell
ing up TO 7S4c, the close being at 1874
97Skc, a gain of &c. CIearances Of wheat
and -four were equal to 4ss 500 bushels.
Primary receipts were 1.0lS.e50 bushels.
against 1885 100 bushels a year ago. Min
neapoiis and Duluth reported receipts
of 649 cars. which, with local receipts Of
AZ cars-one of contract grade-made
total receipts for the three points Of 6os
cars. against 7l5 cars last week and 923
cars a year ago.
The early corn market showed signs of
severe decentralization and for time
there appeared TO be no bottom to prices
Lower cables together with bearish crop
reports. were responsible for the opening
weakness. Later a firmer tone developed
on buying by prominent commission
houses, which brought out considerable
covering by shorts. and much of the
early loss was resained. A steadier tone
prevailed toward the close and after sell
ing between 443sc and 45I4c. December
closed at 45lsG45jlc. a loss of only 1sc
for the day. Local receipts were 375 cars.
oats. like corn, opened weak, under
general commission house selling. but
there was enough covering by shorts on
the break TO bring about a moderate re-
covery toward the noon hour. Receipts
continued light. but country offerings
were more liberal. The close was steady.
with December off &c at Soc. after rang
ing between S55sc and S61sc. Local re-
ceipts were 1Z7 cars.
Provisions held up comparatively well
in view of the weakness Of corn and a
decline of 10c in the price Of hogs. There
was no special pressure to sell and there
was fair buying of October lard and a
good demand for ribs from brokers. The
close was steady with January pork mp
2l5c. at 81 az; January lard down 715c,
at S6S5. and ribs off 215c, at s6.571a@660.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat,
45 cars; corn. 43 cars; oats, 145 cars;
hogs. 1400o head.

THE BURDIck SCANDAL.

One OF the most nauseating scandals
that has been inflicted on the Ameri-
can people is the examination now at
Buffalo to find out who killed e. L..
Burdick several weeks ago. The in
vestigation is bringing to light ter
rible condition of morals in two lead
ing families that shocks all decent
people. The testimony of Mrs Bur-
dick, the widow of the murdered man,
not only blackens her character, but
that of Arthur r. Pencil, who, with
his wife, met with fatal automobile
accident few days ago. II Mrs. Bur-
dick tells the truth she and Pennell
were as guilty of wrong as two hui
man beings can be without commit
ting actual murder, and their acts no
doubt led to the murder of Burdick by
some one in their employ or by Pen
nell himself.
People usually cover the faults and
speak kindly of the dead, but they
cannot do so in the case of Pencil.
who entered the home of a friend and
not only ruined it, but brought about
the death of the innocent man he had
wronged. In the evidence of the en-
ring woman the fact came out that
Pencil was the cause of the domestic
tragedy in the Burdicll home. She
swore that she often promised her
husband that she would refuse to
meet Pencil any more, but these
promises were broken because of his
persistence in seeking her out and
forcing clandestine meetings. But
public sympathy will not go out to
her, even though she turns on her for
mer lover and blames him for all the
misery, degradation and crime which
has followed. Mrs. Burdick and Pen
nell were equally guilty, and the pub
lie so holds them. The whole pre-
sents case of deprayed morals where
virtue and womanhood and manhood
we're supposed to dwell.

that in the great anthracite strike the
miners lost $25,O000 600 in wages, their
employers 100000 and the trans
portation companies $2S,000,000 the
wonderful total of $99.100,000. What
do the strikers gain? Only an increase
OF 10 per cent in wages or less than
80 cents a day. At least 100000 men
were engaged in the strike, which
makes the individual loss to each man
about $3.50. To merely recoup his loss
nearly two years.
The mine owners can easily make UP
what they lost by adding to the price
OF coal and the consumers must pay
the bill. But not SO with the men who
toll i'll the mines. To make up what
they lost in the strike they must earn
every cent OF it by hard work. Did
the miners gain enough by the strike
to equalize their loss and the injury
the strike did the public?
But the greatest losses sustained
were by the consumers Every mans
pocket over a vast area, extending to
the Rocky mountains felt it, The poor
were pinched and the end is not yet,
for prices will remain high until mine
owners recoup what they lost. The
strike gave mine owners and operators
an excuse to increase their profits and
they are doing it. 1t was a sad day for
all concerned, except owners and op'
orators when the miners quit work.

ABOUT HIGH PRICES.

Consumers of certain necessary pro
ducts have noticed with alarm the
steadily increasing prices. 1t is SO all
along the line. Producers of necessi-
ties when their products cost more tc
place on the market because OF in
creased salaries of employees make the
consumer pay the bill. A case in point
is that of Pennsylvania bituminous
coal operators, who, ON the first OF
April increased the price rs cents a
ton. People who consume pay this ex-
ira price, but it does not go into the
pockets of the miners. AS matter
of fact the operators could stand bet
ter pay to the miners without making
the public to foot the bill
Discussing another phase of this
question, and vital one, too, the
Sioux City Journal says
THE manufacturing and producing
trusts may be able TO put up their
prices arbitrarily and the labor thusts
may be able to boost the wages of
labor correspondingly, but in the long
run the old reliable law Of supply and
