cember price, compared with one and
one half cents under il last night, our
market started off strong and higher,
The short sellers Of yesterday who
were so persistent on that side of the
market were just the reverse today.
They were the largest buyers although
offerings were small. Receipts in the
Northwest were larger than estimated
also the future options in Minneapolis
were inclined to weakness. but it had
practically no effect on prices in this
market. The foreign demand for wheat
is poor, scarcely $4,000 sold for export
today The market closed at almost
the highest price of the day.
CORN-Strong and higher. partly in
sympathy with the advance in the
other cereals and bad reports from
points in the west and southwest

those sections of the country, prevent

Some disappointment reported as to the
quality of new corn. The market
closed firm with a rally of one-half cent
for both May and December options.
OATS-Shorts were the best buyers
in this cereal Prices had a firm IN

shortage in the car situation is causing
some anxiety as shippers cannot ge

list were also weak and declines rang

Pacific. st. Paul and American Shelters
were noticeable.
In the latter part OF the session a
rally was produced based on the rumor
that Secretary Shaw has submitted a
plan to ths banking element of Wall
street whereby the tension on the
money market can be relieved 1t was
also rumoTed that he had released Is
millions to the national banks. These
rumors started shorts to covering and
subsequently the market reacted tc

New York Oct. 2S.-Again the
money market comes to Shaw for re-
lief. The receipts OF the government

system, this money is taken out Of
the market and tied up as If it never
existed, and as we cannot borrow
more money in London, they threaten
TO raise the bank rate to eight per
cent If we do not get gold, and as
the Bank Of France is also frightened
we cannot get 1t there either. In ad-
dition to all of that the New York
banks have only half the surplus that
they had this time last year. Last
years small cash on hand put money up

Nineteen hundred six will go down
as having the biggest record of any
one year for dividend increases, the
jump in Union Pacific from five to ten
per cent. and the placing of Southern
Pacific on FIVE per cent basis being the
greatest. The next biggest thing was
the placing of steel common again on a
dividend basis, the increase in Atchison
and Copper helped to bull the market.
and there is in prospect the increase of
Pennsylvania to seven per cent and Of
steel common TO four per cent before
the end of the year. Pressed Steel car

Hubert VreeIand tor Secretary OF
State.

So much encouragement has been
given Hubert Vreeland, our present ac-
tive aand progressive young Commits
sioner of Agriculture, to offer himself
again as candidate for a State office,
that after mature consideration he has
decided to become a candidate for
Secretary of State. 1t certainly looks
like he has won for himself the back
ing of the farmers of Kentucky for
whatever he may seek, and in recogni-
ton Of his efforts in their behalf since
his election as State Commissioner
thousands of them have urged him to
offer for another State office, since the
Constitution makes him ineligible for
reelection. Mr.. Vreeland has accom-
pllshed something in an office that was
created for the farmers, but VIII CT had
been of very little benefit to them, and
1T is refreshing to the Democrats of
Kentucky when they find public ser
wants who devote all their time and
thought to fulfilling the duties of their
office with energy and intelligence.
Mr.. Vreeland is the youngest of the
present State officials, and until the
last State election had never been a
candidate for Office. Although it was
his first appearance he won his nominal
ton for Commissioner of Agriculture
by majority of $4,000, next to the
largest majority received. by any candi-
date in the State primary, although OPP
posed by two prominent candidates,
who made most vigorous campaigns.
Mr.. Vreeland has a personal acquain-
lance probably not surpassed by any
other young man in Kentucky, extend
ing to scores an hundreds in every one
of the 119 counties in Kentucky. He is
brother of John w. Vreeland, pub
Usher of the Farmers Home Journal.
and at the head of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee in Louisville and
Jefferson County, and of Graham Vree-
land, managing editor of the Courier
Journal, who for item years. was the
Legislative correspondent of the Cou-
rier-Journal at Frankfort.
The Democratic nominations for
State Offices will be made again by
State primary in November, and Mr..
Vreeland has begun an active cam
paign. Up to the present time he has
no Opposition. Xxx

Paris Defeats Lexington.

In rather onesided game Paris de-
feated Lexington Tuesday afternoon
by score of IA to- 4.
The visitors failed to score until the
sixth inning when three errors and a
timely hit by Strader brought in their
first run. They scored two in 1.-THE
eighth on two hits and a base on balls.
and one run in the ninth on a single by
H. Guyn and a threebagger by Crouch.
Paris started the run, getting in the
opening inning, scoring twe~runs on a
base on balls, a sacrifice, single and a
double. They added five more in the
second, as follows: Lutz was hit by a
pitched ball, Swearingen Esingled,
Betcher walked, Willingerx sacrificed,
the ball being fumbled, on which two
runs crossed the rubber. A base on
balls, two hits and sacrifice added
three more.
The locals sent in another in the
sixth, two in the seventh, and three in
the eighth.
