WHEAT SUFFERS LOSS
CONTINUED FREE MOVEMENT FROM
THE FARMS THE CAUSE
Sentiment is Bearish From start to Fin
ish-Receipts in the Northwest Continue
Heavy-corn Likewise: Declines

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Continued free
movement of grain fton the farms was Iae
principal reason for net loss OF lssc
in wheat prices today. Germ, is off Us q
lie. Oats are down Il q &c, and provis-
ions 171k @30c.
From Beginning to end sentiment in the
wheat pit was bearish. At the start the
market was influenced by liberal worlds
shipments, lower cables and continued
heavy receipts in the Northwest. Extreme
weakness of the corn market also exerted
a depressing effect At the opening De-
cember wheat was off 80 sc to .$l;lz54 20
Lay; May was dowsl Il % sc to- e g &c.
at 81. Tx @1 .121sc. Several pronlnens
commission houses were heavy sellers of
the December option With little support
the market Increased in weakness as
trading progressed, Fresh incentives TO
sell were found in enormous primary re-
ceipts. A further motive was an increase
of nearly 100000 bushels in the visible
supply. During the latter part, of the
session the market experienced several
temporary rallies on covering by shorts.
On every slight upturn, however, offerings
came out in such quantities, as to quickly
send prices back to a lower level. The low
point on December for the day was reacn-
ed when shortly before the close the price
touched 81 liz. At the same time May
sold off to Sill The market left off
weak with December at $l;12N Final
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to rs, 300 bushels The amount on passage
decreased sc, 900 bushels, while the visible
supply increased Z,Ozz,UUU DuSueiS. III
mary receipts were 1918 900 bushels, COM
pared with 1,051, 600. bushels year ago:
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 1,067 cars, against 1887 cars
last week and 929 cars a year ago.
Corn Loses
Weather that could not be improved
upon for securing corn was the most i'm
portant factor in trading in the yellow
cereal. Numerous reports showing the ex-
cellent condition of the crop furnished
fresh Encouragement to holders, who were
\active sellers throughout the day. The
market was extremely weak the entire
session. December opened Il @ssc lower at
1875 6D49c, sold off to 4T4c, and closed at
48@4SBc. Lacol receipts were l04 cars,
with five of contract grade.
Under the influence OF line weather
and the lower price of corn sentiment
in the oats pit was bearish. Shorts were
active buyers at times. the volume of
business being considerably larger than for
some time past. December opened 1s@Rc
lower at 2S02S$4c C, sold between 28c and
2S19c, and closed at 2S1s @zS14c. Local
receipts were 10 cars.
Liberal receipts Of hogs with lower
prices at the yards and general weakness
of grains caused a decline in the price
of all hog products. The volume of trad
ing was light. At the close January pork
down TIC at $7.071s. Ribs were zoe
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 139 cars; corn, 1913 cars; oats,

Pretender Falls From Horse

ROME, Oct. 17.-News has reached
relatives here of Don Jaime, son of
Don Carlos, the pretender to the Span
ish throne, that he has been injured by
a fall from his horse at Russian head
quarters in Manehuria.
The last word received from Don
Jaime was a penciled note to his sis
ter, Princess Beatrice, Of Massimo,
dated at Vladivostok, and it is inferred
that since that note was written Don
Jaime had returned to headquarters.
Don Jaime is lieutenant in the
Russian army. The extent of his in
juries is not stated and the news of his
accident causes his family much worry.

THE NEAREST STAR.
Light From it Requires Four and One
Half Years to Reach the Earth.

University of California, Aug. 80
A Lick observatory bulletin just issued
deals with the results of recent as
Economical work at Mount Hamilton.
The distance of Alpa Centauri has been
determined spectroscopically. So far
as known that is the nearest star 10
u.s. The result is in harmony with
observations by means of the ordinary
telescope, to the effect that light, trav-
cling with a speed of 1S6,OOO miles
per second requires four and one-haI
wears to reach US from that star.
The great Swedish physicist Svante
August Arrhenius, professor of physics
at the University of Stockholm, who
has been spending the past two months
at the University of California, is the
author of a paper on the phySlcial
nature of the suns corona as OBJ
served at total solar ecnpses. rms
paper was written by Prof Arrhenfus
during his recent visit to Mount nam
ilton for the purpose OF harmonlzlHg
the apparently conflicting results as
to the sources of the coronal I1ght Cd
tanned by recent observations. Arr
henius on this superstition. computed
the total mass of corona and has round
its most probable value 25,0OO,OOO
tons. This is approximately that OF
cube of granite whose SIDES are o1V
feet in length The quantity OF matter
involved in the corona is thus SHOWN
to be exceedingly slight, considering
that it occupies a space whose d1men-
sions in every direction amounts 10
several million miles

STABBED AN OFFICER.
Young Wisconsin Creates Much Ex-
citement in n. Y. Hotel.

New York, Aug 30-A young man who
registered as Alfred F. Willard of South
Superior, Wis, created much excitement
in Broadway hotel early today before
he was overpowered by the police. After
barricading himself in his room on the
fourth floor Willard aroused the hotel by
his cries and by throwing furniture about
the room and out of the window on to
the dining room and office skylight below.
The police had to chop in his door with
axe and one of the officers was stab
bed before the man was arrested. Inc
commotion lasted half hour.
Willard is about 25 years old. He was
well dressed and seemed well supplied
perfectly rational. Four hours later the
guest telephoned the night clerk for po-
liceman. A special officer answered the
call, but Willard slammed the door in his
face. Then he called for the clerk ana
manager. When they arrived he began
yelling at the top of his voice and throw
ing the furniture out of the windows
Scores of guests ran to the hallway ana
a squad of police was summoned.
AS Willard refused to open the door, II
was broken with axes. The interior OF
the room was wrecked and Willard stood
with arms folded viewing the ruins. AS
Policeman Arnin, the leader of the squad,
attempted to seize him, Millard's arm
trated the officers breast Half dozen
men leaped upon the stabber, he was
overpowered and carried to the station.
The wound sustained by Arnin wns an
ugly one, three inches deep, but will not
prove fatal. Willard seemed to regain
his cOmpoSure in a short time, but re-
fused to explain his conduct.
