On February Goth wheat in Chicago
reached the price of 81 OF for May de-
livery. This is the highest price known
for many years. 1t does not argue that
wheat is scarce as the yield last season
was above the average, but was probably
in anticipation of the demand brought
about by the Russian Japanese war.

Capt. Rufus II. Pitcher, an old and
honored townsman of Custer, and now
on visit to Indianapolis, has been in
vited to attend the Centennial anniver
sary of the University at Athens, Ohio.
This school was established in 1904, and
was one of the first in the North west
territory. Mr.. Pitcher was born near
Athens, Septem ber 10, 1904, and thus il
will be seen that he will pass the century
mark this year. Capt. Pitcher remem-
bers when his father left home to take
part in the war Of 1912 and has been a
soldier himself. He served in the Mex.
ican war and again four years in the war
of the rebellion, and has since seen the
west grow up from wilderness until it
is now dotted with populous cities. Mr..
P. was steam boat man in his early
manhood and commanded boats on the
Ohio, the Mississippi, the Yazoo and
other rivers, besides spending two years
in the African diamond mines. He is
yet hale and hearty, and his sight and
hearing are unimpaired.

Question Box..................

Mr. FL. w. McManus, representing the
international Correspondence Schools Of
Scranton, Pa, was an arrival from Hot
Springs Monday evening. MIR. McManus
has just spent week in the Carlsbad"
and speaking of the new sanitarium he
said: "The work is progressing very
rapidly under the supervision of Mr.. F.
P. Rooney. Already the foundations of
six of the wings projecting from the large
circular building in the center are COM
pleted. The sanitarium will be beyond
question the finest building in the mid
die west and will be big thing for Hot
Springs also the entire Hills country.
Mr.. Rooney briefly outlined their plans
for large and beautiful park between
the buildings and Battle Mountain which
will mean an enormous amount of grad
ing to level, in measure, the foot hills
intervening. 1t will take them about
three years to complete the plan, but
suppose the main buildings will be in
use in much less time. Already they
have large pay roll and understand
that there will be between five and six
hundred men employed there this sum-
mer. Hot Springs people are jnbilant
over their prospects. Business there is
good in all lines. l organized a good
class of students for our schools and an
ticipate many more shortly from the out

New York, Oct with prices in

Pacific and United States Steel on the
Stock Exchange and a similar ten
dency manifest in Northern Securities
on the curb, the stock market was
deprived of the principal incentives to
the speculative excitement of the pre-
vious days of his week and lapsed into
condition by comparison of decided
quietude. The result was to lessen the
activity of the trading to a marked
extent. New points of strength devel-
oped after a>reaction had become fair
" general. Amalgamated Copper was
the first point in which strength was
shown. The rise in Delaware, Hud-
son was attributed to favorable COM
parsons between that stock and 9th
er high priced coalers. The move
a resumption of a previous campaign
and was based upon professed belief
in an early dividend attribution on this
stock. Ontario and Western was the
only coaier to sympathize in the move
ment. This Reading movement was
about the only symptom in the days
market of the pursuit of the policy of
rotation of support, which has beer
followed for a long time by the forces
in control of the upward course OF
nrices. The days market did not fol-
low any news DEVELOPMENTS beyond
the growing disposition shown by all

The Hon. j. Wiley Shock, who
needs no introduction in any part of
North Carolina or even in the nation

the Federal court. For a long time
The Record thought the boys were
putting up a song and dance about
his antipathy TO collars. 1t is known
that he seldom wears one, though he
saws he is afraid not to put on one
when attending Judge Boyd's court.
for that gentleman, he says, has a
way of making people in the court
room do as he pleases without any
fuss or noise, while occasionally a
man gets in Jail. But Mr.. Shook says
barring the sessions of the United
States courts and the city of Washing

KIND. politically or personally. The
handsome turn-down he wore this
morning caused him much worry Ills
mind was on it most of the time and
his fingers all the time. lie ate
breakfast at the Benbow and then
strolled up town. Casting ms eyes
over TO the new Federal building he
stopped short and gave vent to his
feelings, pent UP or otherwise.
"Talking about collars, he said,
''look at that former handsome build
ing; all the costly pressed brick hid
den from view by a mud collar all
around it! It's a shame, a ------------
shame The government, not satisfied
With making all its officials Waar -

around it's building. I've notion to
yank this one off that is around my
neck and risk appearing before Judge
Boyd. for it makes me hot in the col
lar sure enough"
But he was still wearing it when

New York Oct 6-Tle cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 1
to 10 points in response to higher
English cables. Demand was also en-
couraged by reports of rain in some
sections of the belt where it was said
to be likely to damage open cotton.
Immediately following the call prices
worked off a little but were soon rail-
lied again and worked UP to a net
advance of about 8 to IA points on
covering and bull support at the South
sending buying orders through wire
houses. But the advance having now
extended to matter of something
over half a cent in the last two DAYS
it was considered that the altered
technical end of the market justified
a decline and some of the larger room
traders began to raid the market. At
ter getting it back to about the clos
ing figures of the previous night
rumor that the Pecos river had over
flowed and caused damage in Texas
brought about another rally to about
the high point. but in the later trad
ing there was active liquidation and
selling by New Orleans based on re-
ports of weakness in the interior spot
markets of the South, caused by an
accumulation of stocks. and the mar
