The remarkable turn of speculative
interes. to comm odity markets within
the past few weeks has had a most re-
marksble effect upon the cost of food
s,uffs. This has been noted in sll the
review sent out from financial and
market centers, but it has also been
felt in other though less noted circles
in the ranks of the consumers.
A slight glance at the Paducsh mar
kets will serve to show the changes
which have taken place since Janua-
~ /.
The last review of Bradstreet's in
which the figures for living were Civ
en- showed that the month Of January
had made considerable strides in in
creasing the cost Of life's neoessaries
and nearly put the total TO the high
est figures Of recent years. In these
figures list Of all commodities used
in clothing and feeding man are taken
with the prices and an average total
obtained. Any advance in the items
makes q corresponding advance i'll the
average.
On January straight flour in the
local market was sold for an average
price Of g. as; the average price today
is s5. In line with this it is seen that
May wheat has advanced from SAL
on January to s1.07 on Saturday.
The cash article has, of course, shown
a proportionate gain.
Another important foodstuR is meal
This has advanced from 81. IS per bar
rel to s2.70 in the same length Of
time.
Ribs have advanced from &c to Z 3.4
and lard Of the best compound which
is much used from 61e to z l-ic
These are very important and staple
products. While potatoes have shown
the same tendency, rising from S5c
to 81. Is per bushel.
An article reviewing all the causes
or even the principal ones which have
led to these changes in the different
eatables would be extensive, but brief
ly it may be stated that a shortage in
supply of one or two Of the staples has
turned attention TO others and in
creased the demand for them. this
process being repeated as each in turn
was reached till the whole list has
been affected. In this the prospect Of
war has been in great measure aided.
For purposes of comparison the fol-
lowing list is appended as showing
those articles in which the most
marked changes have occurred. The
present prices are compared with those
ruling on January /. 1904, to retail
ers from the wholesale trade:

Election Day Conditions Best in Many
Years.

Crisp. clear weather-was reported from All
parts Of Connecticut. making election day
conditions the best in many years. In ms
CITY scores of voters were on hand to cast
their ballots when the polls opened In
Hartford the crush of voters at the OPEN
ing of voting places was unprecedented, III
one ward 100 men being In line before DAY
light.
In scores of towns a good proportion OF
the registered electors had cast their bal
lots before 10 o'clock. and the same ruie
held good in nearly every city. In new
Haven Hartford and New London the Vot-
ing proceeded all the morning without spe-
cial incident while in the cities or DERBY
Bridgeport and Stamford. where municlpai
affair the presence of numerous local con-
tests made the scenes around the polling
booths quite lively.
The most important factor in local con-
tests Is the fight for representatives in the
legislature between ex-Gov. M. G. Buckley
and Samuel Fessenden, who are both cam
didates for the United States Senate in sue
cession to Senator Hawley. In the western
part of the state, which Is supposed to favor
Fessenden the Bulkeley republicans appar-
entity are Joining with the democrats to de-
feat the representative candidates who have
Fessenden preferences.
Careful observation brings the conclusion
that a straight party vote is being cast for
the presidential candidates. but Judge Rob-
ertson, the democratic nominee for COVER
nor Is running ahead of his ticket. In ac
tivity the republicans have outclassed the
democrats. and the vote in every city is a
record-breaker. Mr. Fessenden is also rum

VIEW OF ENCKE's COMET.
Discovery Made by Assistant Astrono
mer n. I. Rice.

Rear Admiral C. NJ. Chester, U. 8. N,
superintendent of the United States naval
observatory, announced today to a Star re-
porter that the celebrated Encke's comet,
which was found photographically about
the middle of last September at Heidel-
berg. and which has been diligently search
ed for by astronomers all over the world
during the late summer and early fall
months, was first observed usually Sunday
night last by Assistant Astronomer III. L.
Rice. with the 12-inch equatorial of the
United States naval observatory in Wash
ington. Its identity was positively con-
firmed by second observation made last
night. The comet is extremely faint and
diffuse and no nucleus is visible.
Several days may elapse before an ac-
curate observation of the comets position
can be secured, owing to its extreme faint
ness. Mr. Rice secured approximate posi-
tons of the comet on each of the evenings
mentioned. comparison of these with the
latest ephemeris of the comet Chat Of Ka-
minsky. Of Pulkowa. Russia) indicates
correction OF about IL seconds of time In
right ascension and 2.5 minutes of arc in
declination.

a heavy vote today. The registration was
the largest on record, and nearly half of
the total was voted by noon. Voting is also
early in smaller towns The contest for
governor is In doubt, no one being able to
estimate the size of republican detection.
Johnson, the democratic candidate. is still
the favorite in the betting today and is car
rying heavy republican precincts In Mime
apoliS by large ma1orities.
The democrats are making hard fight In
the sixth Minnesota district on Representa-
tive c. B. Buchanan. The district is normally
close, and a heavy vote in democratic coun-
ties is favorable to Vandyke, democrat Lo-
calitieS where republican opposition to Dunn
is found are also hostile to Buchanan. and
he will lose heavily in some republican
strongholds. The chances still favor his
election by small plurality. The other dis
tricts of the state are safely republican. FL
nal estimates on governorship have been
made. Dunn, the republican candidate, has
detailed figures predicting 1850 plurality,
while Rosing, one of Johnson's managers.
has made estimate by districts, claiming
%, $50 majority.
The mayoralty contest in Minneapolis is
responsible for much of the local interest.
Mayor Haines, democrat, has the support
of the liquor element and may win. but
Jones' republican, is getting practically the
unanimous support of the better residential
sections.

Before IL am. more than 90 per cent Of

rality for the republican ticket and that
the state plurality will be very nearly
100000.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. November 8.-The
vote in this city was very heavy during the
early hours of the day. probably owing TO

By noon 1t was generally believed that
more than two-thirds of the entire vote of
the city had been cast Throughout the
morning long lines of voters were waiting
patiently before the booths to prepare their
ballots. At number of booths 1t is re-
ported that many workmen left before cast

Heavy Early Merning Vote-Local
Questions in Chicago.

CHICAGO. November Selection day
dawned with sky overcast, but with small
prospect of rain, while the temperature
was happy medium, neither hot nor cold.
Indications early in the day pointed to a
heavy vote. There are local questions in
addition to the national and state tickets,
upon which the voters of Chicago and Cook
county, regardless of party faith, have
been importuned to register their wills,
chief of which is proposed constitutional
amendment that aworld enable the legis-
lature to grant the city a new charter
The first hour of voting showed lively
interest in the business of the day. Many
of the early voters left the polls without
voting, rather than await their turn, in
tending to return later. The size of the
ballot and the amount of scratching done
in nearly all wards rendered the voting
rather slow. and is expected to make the
count tedious.
Detailed reports by wards showed that
the vote up to 10 o'clock was in many in
stances over 50 per cent of the registered
ward strength. g Ia
The first voting machine to be tested in
Chicago was put in commission and at
tracted much attention. Persons who feared
to risk their vote with the machine were
provided with the regular ballot From
fifteen seconds to one minute was the time
consumed in voting by the machines.

As the day progressed the interest in the
voting increased to such an extent that
practically the normal vote was polled by
room. There were few challenges and nc
trouble reported.
Wrong Voting at Pittsburg.
PITTSBURG. November SELECTION day
opened cloudy and cool The early voting
was unusually light.
Several hours after the polls opened to-
day it was discovered that many of tbs
voters were not marking their ballots cor
rectly. owing to a change in the form oil
the ballot which was not understood, and
the result will be that the state, congress
sional, legislative and county candidates o1
all parties will run behind the presidential
candidates.
1t is said that up to noon thousands of the
ballots cast were marked for the national
candidates only and will not be counted for
the state. congressional or local candidates.
The mistake. however. will only affect the
total vote.
Toward noon the vote became heavier
and the indications were that the usual
vote will be polled in Allegheny county.

Indications Showed That Vote Would
Exceed the Record,

Exceed the Record.
BOSTON, Mass, November S-Indica-
tions of the polling of an unusually large
vote throughout Massachusetts appeared in
the early part ofyeiection morning. Excel
lent weather. a tfffie colder than any that
has yet appeared this autumn, prevailed.
In Boston and the suburbs early reports
told of a heavy polling. The expectancy
was that the occurrence of a presidential
election would draw out a proportionaIeiy
large voting strength in the rural districts.
Democratic leaders entered upon todays
election, conceding the state for President
Roosevelt by perhaps 10000, but claimed
the election of William L. Douglas, the
democratic candidate for governor. over
Gov. John L. Bates. republican. largely be-
cause of the existing opposition of the labor
unions to the governor. Predictions were
made today that the local vote in Massa-
chusetts would reach as high a figure as
425,O0O. Democrats estimated that Dou-
glas would carry the city Of Boston by over
10000. and Judge Parker by about $4,000.
Reports up to noon from all sections of
the state indicated that the total vote
would approach. If not exceed, previous
records. A noticeable feature of the elec-
ton was the great vote cast at the very
outset of the day, condition which was
followed by a steady polling during the
forenoon hours. The democrats conceded
10000 plurality for Roosevelt and Fair
banks in the state, but in spite of the great
vote expressed belief that their candidate,
William L. Douglas, for governor, would
win.
Boston's vote was large In every ward,
indicating a plurality of 10000 or more for
Douglas.
About 1000 policemen were on duty In
Boston under special orders to watch the
movement of voters from various South
End hotels. Reports had been received
that efforts would be made to convey men
to the polling places under the guise that
they were persons who had been living at
the hotels on May /, and therefore entitled
to vote. One arrest only was made, how
ever, up to noon.

Half Of Vote of Indianapolis Polled in
Forenoon.

INDIANAPOLIS. November SELECTION
day in Indiana opened with ideal weather.
Reports from all parts of the state show
better organization than ever before. Both
parties have made elaborate arrangements
to get out the full vote. Republican man
ayers are claiming the state by 10000. with
