CHEAP LIGHT OFFERED
The Kiichli Company Will Cut Arc
| Rates in Two.

Alderman Gerber's ordinance grant
ing an electric light and power fran
chise to the Minnesota Power and Troll
ley company was considered by a special
committee of the council this afternoon.
The ordinance is attracting attention
among the aldermen from the fact that
former Alderman Joseph Kiichi offers,
in the event the franchise is granted,
that the company will furnish electric
street lighting to the city for $50 a
lamp, or about one-half of the contract
price with the Minneapolis General
Electric company, which is 1914 per year.
If the city will erect the poles, build the
conduits and maintain the wires, the
company will charge $15 per light.

e. n. Prince. Grain Letter

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Wheat-The mar
ket has been professional and nervous
over a range of 2 cents following the
arrival of various news. The main
feature being series of operations
by Valentine that encouraged the be-
lief that he was selling openly and
buying under cover. Primary receipts
were large at 100000, because of the
arrival of 655 cars at Minneapolis.
Shipments were small. Stocks at Du-
luth will increase 100000 and at Min
neapolis about million for the week.
The Modern Miller was bullish, COM
planning Of delayed blowing and seed
ing and stating that many mills south
Of the Ohio river are already drawing
on accummulative poinst for supplies.
Minneapolis reported only 10 per cent
Of arrivals grading.
Corn-There was a disposition to get
from under September contracts owing
to lack of pressure in cash situation
but December and May We're firm.
Receipts l52 cars and they have not
been heavy for some time. Trade con-
sequently accepting the view that the
country Is IN no hurry to sell. Both
primary receipts and shipments show
ed big drop. Comstock was about the
best seller.

Sioux CITY stockers.

Sioux City, Sept. 3O.-The market
has shown strength over last weeks
closing quotations on the heavy feeders
of good quality and in cases sales were
considered dime higher. A wider mar
gin has been drawn however, between
the strictly good cattle and the medium
weight, S00@1, 000-pound steers, while
the common steers were very slow and
hardly as good prices were realized as
were paid for the same class last week.
The dealers have experienced a pretty
good trade, and the shipments to the
country have been fairly liberal. There
are still good many cattle In the
spectators division, but a good clean
up is expected by the cYose Of the week.
With good corn crop assured turnout
the territory adjacent to Sioux City.
there will be an increased demand for
cattle to go to the feed lot and those
in the trade claim that stockers have
seen their low point for the season.

Nice Fat Cattle Are Selling Fast
and the General Market
Is Firm
COMMON GRADES WE'RE LOWER
There Was An Improved Demand For
Hogs Today and While Market Was
Variable Prices Averaged S Cents
Hisher-sheep Were in Good De-
mand.

Chicago. Sept. 3O-Cattle-The mar
is not characterized by much vigor, al
though nice, fat cattle are selling all
right. The general market is steady,
best cattle being firm at highest prices
of the season, while common to good
kind are 20 lower than week ago.
Cattle supplies this week have been
the heaviest in many months. arrivals
up to yesterday totaling 7S,0S7. show
Ing an increase of 1900 over the heavy
run in the same period week ago. and
with smaller consumptlve demand,
such heavy receipts have been too
plentiful to sell advantageously. The
warmer weather this week has hurt
selling of meats to a considerable ex-
tent, and liberal proportion OF range
cattle offerings has added dizziness to
trade in all but best beeves.
Prices now stand close to the same
low range current here two weeks ago,
and the big slump in values is ac-
counted for by the fact that ship
ments from the country have been UNI
usually heavy. The demand has sud-
denly slumped off and coolers are said
to be chock full of beef for which the
outlet has of late been growing mar
rover each day.
Hoge.
There was an improved demand to-
day and while the market was variable
prices averaged five higher
A liberal proportion of the 5000 hogs
left in the pens from yesterday We're
heavy weights in first hands.
Current prices for hogs are now
little lower than year ago and about
$150 per 100 pounds lower than two
years ago. Compared with the COR
responding time in 1896, however, pre-
sent prices for hogs are about S2.75 per
100 pounds higher than at that time.
The best heavy were selling then at
$3.50 and the best light at $3.45, with
packing grades generally under SO.
Current receipts of hogs are not
large and dealers do not expect liberal
supply for weeks to come, but 1t 10
the time of the year, at the thresh-
old of the winter packing season, when
it goes against the grain for packers
to pay anything like fancy prices, es-
pecially when values are as low on
live hogs as compared with the cured
products.
Sheep.
There was good general demand
at the recent decline in prices.
The strictly choice fat wethers and
good heavy ewes suitable for foreign
trade met with good demand, and there
were not enough to enable buyers to
make any reduction. The general mar
ket on medium to pretty good sheep,
however, was slow and unevenly lower.
There was liberal proportion of sheep
that were a little fleshy and therefore
too high priced to be available for
feeders, and yet not attractive enough
in so large supply, to bring out COM
petition from killers.
