Topeka. Kan, aug. 4.
WHEA T-This market has been dull
and heavy all the week and closed last
night at the low point of the crop, max
ing a decline of eleven and half cents
in the September. The cause of this big
decline was brought about by the larger
yields of winter wheat than any one
had thought and the fine prospect OF
the northwest which is now insured.
The receipts of wheat at the winter
wheat centers has been very large; the
largest that has occurred so early for
long time and it is of the finest OF
quality. These things all so to depress
prices. Now this wheat is not always
going to go down and it looks now by
the way they were putting out the bear
ish talk that it is about time to take on
little wheat. 1t might sell some little
lower. perhaps to seventy or a little ur-
der on this move. Buy. It will come
back and make you money. I know
they tell you that we have got over four
hundred millions to spare this year,
and many other bearish things. This Is
always the case when they have it near
the bottom 1t looks so that there is
something wrong about the amount
they are claiming for export, or they
have had it hid away for last year and
the year before we raised very large
crops. and we use them well up without
very little help from the other side, and
this wear on crop only few millions larg
and they never found it out until the
market had broke ten cents 1t don't
look right, and won't prove right at the
end of the crop year have always
found it shat when ever you got wheat
in the condition that it is now so that no
one wants it it has proven good prop
ery I believe that this will prove the
case on this crop and while they may
sell it few cents lower. it is only acct
dent If you can guess the bottom and
\ f1-rr hi
no one wants it and you will find out
after little while they will want it and
when they want It right bad sell it back
to them. instead of buying it at the top
which is so often the case.
CORN-This market is gradually do
ing what I told you 1t would do sell 1c
lower and it looks tonight that the bulls
needed something to hold it. It is still
8 cents too high and must come to it. ]
told you all the time that they forced
the stuff too high and that it would
take drouth to hold it and as the price
was SO high if you bought it that way
it would rain sure, and it has proven
correct and it win still sell lower There
is plenty of corn and it will come on the
market now with the good rains we arc

The handsome Newfoundland dog
belonging to the Gennett family, of
923 Jackson street, was shot and
killed yesterday by one of the police
men because she had been acting
strangely and it was thought that she
was mad. The dog was an unusually
fine animal and exceptionally good
natured until recently when it is said
that she attacked and bit several dogs
of the neighborhood and snapped at
people. This was evidence enough
that she was suffering from rabies,
and so a policeman was sent to dis
one shot at her, which struck her in
the nose, causing her to run down
Jackson street to Soldier creek, fol-
lowed by a number of boys who
warned everybody they met that there
was a mad dogi' The officer finally
disposed of the dog. AS she has Bit
ten several North side dogs, they will
be kept tied up for a number of
weeks to await developments, as there
was no certainty that the Gennett dog
was mad. A physician spea king of
mad dogs said this morning that not
one dog in ten thousand ever suffered
from rabies; that in almost every case
where a dog was reported mad it was
suffering from dfstemper or indiges-
ton, and that was probably what was
the matter with the dog shot yester-
day.
