The three armies of Field Marshal
Oyama are reported to have united

TWO DOLLAR WHEAT
BULLS ON CHICAGO BOARD OF
TRADE PREDICT THAT PRICE
BEFORE NEXT MAY.
GOVERNMENT REPORT PESSIMISTIC

FOREIGN WHEAT TO SUP
PLY HOME DEMAND.
GOVERNMENT REPORT PEss!MIsTIC

Chicago, Sept. 12.--"Wheat at 50 a
bushel before next May" was Dared
by the bulls during the day on the
board of trade. At the opening of the
market there was an excited demand
for wheat. with few traders venturing
to sell. The price for May delivery
was from s1.111h to SLIP and for de-
livery for the present month from
s1.075s to s1.0S. Those who wished to
buy shouted bids of 2 cents bushel
above the prices prevailing at the
close of the market the previous day
and the quantity that any one would
sell even at such a tempting advance
was extremely limited.
The agricultural bureau at Wash
ington, through information furnished
by it's army of crop reporters scattered
throughout every wheat growing coun-
ty in the country, issued report that,
according to the bulls, confirmed the
worst fears regarding the lamentable
loss to the spring wheat crop by the
black rust
Of winter and spring wheat pro-
duced this year in the United States
it was contended there is barely
enough for bread and seed if every
bushel of it was available, which is
not possible, and the country is there
fore face to face with the necessity Of
bringing in foreign wheat to help keep
the wolf from the door till another
harvest shall have been raised.
AS the session advanced prices rose
still higher, the demand from shorts,
which caused the initial squirt, being
augmented by heavy buying by COM
mission houses. At the high point Of
the day all deliveries showed a gain Of
4 cents Or more, May selling up to
$1.14B, September to s1.09A and De
cember to SLIPS. The sensational
strength was maintained up to the
last moment of trading, the market
closing almost at the highest point.

Japans best troops and gave way and
retreated. In the meantime Kuropat-
kin was just launching his attack, but
when he found the Japanese were
turning his left he was compelled to
abandon the offensive, withdraw and
order retreat. AS it turned out, how
ever, General Stakelberg had come to
OrlOH's rescue and checked the JAP
anese f7anking movement just before
they reached Yentai. Had Kuropatkin
held on a little longer the fate of the
day might have been different, as this
was the critical moment for Kurol1i,
referred to in the dispatches from the
Japanese side.

A FINE CONCERT.

In large cities, where there are
numerous choral societies, one eX-
poets frequently to hear fne con-
certs. and occasional oratoriOs;
but, i'm town the size of Frank
fort, it is unusual, to say the least
to have the privilege of enjoying
such music AS that rendered by the
choir of the First Presbyterian
Church, on the evening of Novem-
Der the 18th.
The finish of the choral work left
little to he desired. This is the
more remarkable, when one con-
siders that the choir has worked
on the score less than two months.
Misses Mcclure, Berberich and
Brown presided at the organ.
Misses Mcclure and BerDerich
played beautifully before the Mass;
and Miss Brown accompanied with
both taste and skill. Mrs. Cannon
sang the soprano solos in the
Gloria and in the "Agnus Dei;"
and Mr.. Mcclure, the bass solo in
the Gloria" he and Mr.. KeenOn,
the duet between bass and tenor in
1.-THE CredO;' and Mr.. Vanderveer,
the tenor solo in the "Sanctus.
The most beautiful of the chO-
ruses were the full chorus in the
Gloria" the male chorus i'm the
"Credo," and the full chorus in
the "Sanctus.
When it was announced that this
choir would give Gounod's MASS
SOlenelle' (Saint Cecilia) the mu-
sic lovers and the critics concluded
that they were attempting the i'm
possible; especially as the difficulty
is increased In the English version.
Now the dOubters are convinced
and delighted.
1t is to be hoped that Miss Nc
Clure, the director of the music,
and the choir may be prevailed
upon to give this beautiful mass
again, and also to give other mu-
steal treats during the winter.
