CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associates Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The wheat market was
strong all day. There was a brisk demand in
evidence throughout the entire session which
was based largely on sharp advances at the
principal European grain centers. Higher
prices at Minneapolis and Winnipeg, due to
wet weather In the Canadian northwest. which
will delay threshng operations, also aided the
bulls in forcing the advance here. The gov
ernment report had very little influence on
the market, showing the average yield of
spring wheat per acre to be 1871 bushels COM
pared with 1877 year ago.
An excellent demand for flour both for do
nestle and foreign account helped to strength
en- wheat. The market closed strong. De-
cember opened M@%c to %GD1c higher at 81 OSss
q1.03%, sold off to $1.0S7s and then advanced
to s1.o4h. The close was at s1.04.
The corn market was bullishly affected early
in the day by the strength OF wheat and later
by the government report which gave the
condition of the new crop on October as rs
compared with S0.2 last month and 9019 the
same time year ago. The market was also
Influenced by cold weather In the corn belt
Commission houses were active bidders the
entire day Selling was mainly by longs. The
market closed strong. December opened A@%c
higher at 597s@eoc. advanced to 61c and closed
al 601z@60Sac.
The feature of trade in oats was the
strength of the May delivery which sold up
to 57%c, a new high record price for the sea-
son. The advance was due to liberal pur-
chases of that option by leading bull. The
demand was based on the shortage in the new
average yield to be about 23.5 bushels per
acre as against 1872 last year The market
closed strong. December opened Nc higher at
547sc. sold off to 54iAc and then advanced to
55Ac. The close was at 54Mc
Provisions were strong because OF the ad-
vance In corn and because of 10c advance in
live hogs. Trade was more active than for
some time past. The January products being
in greatest demand At the close January
pork was up 21Ac a. $3.50; lard was lOc

MARKET PRICES
ARE HOLDING FIRM
EGG RECEIPTS ARE LIGHTER
THAN USUAL
Demand for Good Onions Is Excellent
and Cheese Is Exhibiting Tend
ency to Make Upward
Climb


Receipts Of potatoes dropped from 110b sacks
to 1906 sacks yesterday. This Is explained In
part by the fact that Los Angeles jobbers are
not anxious for any more of the inferior grade
than must be carried. The northern markets
are steady. 1t is believed that the local mar
ket will not go any lower
Egg receipts very light, lighter than for
several seasons From present appearances the
local product will go higher. Bidding on ex-
change was abovs prevailing prices.
There were no arrivals of onions. The de-
mand for them is good but the stock on hand
is not of superior quality. The best grade Is
still in thu hands of the growers, who are
credited with holding 1t in reserve for higher
quotations after the present supply Is ex-
hausted.
No cheese came in, which will help this arti-
Gle in the upward climb scheduled for 1t. The
eastern market has been advancing for some
time, but until lately the local dealers have
not evincc any disposition to follow suit.
Butter is firm.
The supply OF fresh fruits was large and
equal to the demand.
Fish were moro PLENTIFUL except barracuda.
Sales on exchange-Four cases of fancy Cali

The Thumb Ring

Ever on the lookout for something
peculiarly attractive in the way Of
adornments. debutantes have found
new way TO show off the slimness Of
their fingers and the smallness Of their
hand.
Rows Of diamonds are so common
that to have ones fingers devoid Of
ornament would perhaps be more at
tractive. The thumb Is not frequently
the recipient Of much tender care from
its possessor, aside from manicuring.
1t is the ugly duckling" of her hand.
Recently. however, a girl discovered
that the dwarfish appearance Of that
digit could be used to set of the ap-
.pearance Of the whole hand and at the
same time bring forth comments that
would make her known as distinctly
original. A solitaire diamond ring, with
a rather thick gold band, worn on the
thumb. is the latest ching" in the
social whirl It may lead to odd man
nerisms and great deal of playing
''Sfmon says" etc. When this form Of
decorating the thumb has become tire
some, perhaps women will walk in san
dals and wear rings on their toes

MANY ENGINEERS
ARE SUSPENDED

SO stringent has the p, b. & w.
railroad made the rules for their en-
gineers regarding the observance OF
the danger signals while running over
the road that eight engineers are now
serving from one to three months sus-
pension for violating them.
AS a result the enginemen are up
in arms over the practice and claim
they are treated unfairly. In order to
test the engineers watchfulness a green
or slow signal is flashed on him while
going at full speed and then a red
signal is put up TO bring him to a
standstill. II he passes the red flag
so much as a foot he is suspended.
one engineer states that one block
between here and Philadelphia show
ed a red signal all day. The engineers
brotherhood may take up the matter
because the members assert the prac-
tice OF flashing the signals on them
suddenly is unfair to them and very
dangerous.

Social TaIe-Bearing

There is one social dishonor about
which no one thinks IL worth while
to say much in reprobation, but which
does much harm. This is the dishonor
Of repeating conversations. opinions,

1t is odd that one of the best things
a boy learns at school is to eschew tale-

practices OF society is quite the reverse

in talk, and repeat to all what has been

STILL ON FARMS
TURN OUT ALCOHOL
Agricultural Side Issue Per-
milted Under Law Now
Effective
VALUE IN FORMER WASTE

With the going into operation Of the
denatured alcohol bill, every farmer
can start his own still. The, bill was
advocated and amended with that end
in view, among others, and its advo-
Gates look forward with hope to a big
change in the farmers life as a result.
If the new Jaw accomplishes what is
hoped, It will be a great boon to the
farmers and make a revolution In life
on the farm.
All that seemed necessary to make
the provisions Of the bill apply with
profit TO the farmers was to find some
way for them 10 convert the waste
products OF their farms into alcohol
without being obliged to send them
away to a big disti;lery, or to put in
expensive plants Of their own. Farm
ers' Bulletin NO. 26s. which contains
full information about the industrial
alcohol, its sources and manufacture, :"
saysl
1T Is evident that. so far as agricul-
ture is concerned, the chief and per-
haps the only direct interest in the act
is in respect OF the materials which
are to be used in the manufacture OF
industrial alcohol"
What Can Be Used.
Pineapple parings, tomato Feelings,
pea hulls, banana skins, sugar corn,
cobs, cornstallxs. waste fruits, and
vegetables-in short any farm or or
chard products containing sugar
starch. gum. and cellulose. can be used
for the production OF industrial alco-
hol. The substances used for dena-
81. Al
include gum shellac, copal resin Ma
Mia gum. camphor, turpentine. acetic
acid, wood alcohol, analine blue, naph-
thalene. and many others.
When the original bill was under dis
cussion. Senator Fulton. Of Oregon
said that he was opposed to it unless
any farmer could have a still, and he
was assured that any farmer could. II
became apparent. however, that the
bill was not favorable TO the operation
of stills by farmers partly because II
would be Improbable to produce less
than from seven 10 ten proof gallon'
day, and partly because Of the diff
Guilty Of meeting the regulations Of the
internal revenue service. To overcome
the later objection was the object o
the bill recently introduced by Senator
Hansbrough. of North Dakota. He be-

ALLIGATOR TRIES TO
EAT A CONGRESSMAN
But Mckinney Kills the critter With
His Trusty Rifle.

His Trusty Rifle.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia mann
moth alligator nearly made a meal OF
Representative James Mckinney. Of
Illinois, while he was on the Isthmus
Of Panama with some Of his colleagues
of the House during the Christmas
holidays making personal investlga-
ton OF the canal zone.
After looking over the big ditch It
was determined that the party should
have an alligator hunt. The mem
bers set out in launches armed with
magazine rifles. They sneaked up on
a sand bar where a lot of alligators
were sleeping and discharged a vo'ley.
The alligators which were not too bad
~ hurt wriggled back into the water
and disappeared A count was made
of the dead and twelve were found.
Representative Mckinney and cap
tain Stanton, who is connected with
the canal work, entered their boat and
started Off on a hunt by themselves.
1--WE just got to get a bigger one
than those Others" the Congressman
confded to Captain Stanton. They
finally came to a spot where Captain
Stanton said mammoth alligators were
thicker than mosquitoes, and they left
the boat to hunt afoot. They did not
find any alligators ashore. and were
waiting for some OF the critters in the
water to come out and be killed, when
they heard a warning shout from
another boat party coming.
Looking around they saw an alliga-
tor that seemed bigger than a freight
car coming lazily out OF the jungle
toward them. They could not get bacl
to their boat, and 20 jump in the river
would be suicide, as the water was
fairly alive with alligators.
We've got to kill that alligator,
said Captain Stanton.
As the alligator approached botl
men emptied their rifle magazines into
him and the beast died within a Few
feet OF them.
Representative Mckinney and Cap,
tain stanton were congratulated OF
their escape. but Mr.. Mckinney de.
clined all invitations TO join in another
hunt.
