CREIGHTON

Creighton. Sept. 1S-Our school Op- ened Monday with a good attendance. The week was spent by teachers and pupils in getting used to school hours. On Monday all will get down to their regular work and most profitable ! year is predicted by all. Our people are beginning to think and talk of the fair: but while We are doing this we should also consider how we can add to it's interests. While the 1 live stock interests of this district were fairly well represented by exhibits last year few real products of the soil were shown. There is scarcely a farmer who has not raised some product worthy of place in the exhibit and too, while the article should be really excellent yet we must remember that it is the show we make, the number of the eX- lhiBits as well as the extra quality that helps to advertise the valley or com mImity to the outside world. So if you haven't the longest ear of corn or the mammoth pumpkin bring along the best you have and let the world see what we can do ialong the various lines. Don't leave it to the large 1 growers of grain or to the big cream cries, etc, to make the whole show but each do his part.

B. Chicago. September 21.-Evidence of ac-
cumulating stocks was too much for the
wheat market today, and an early ad-
vance, for which there seemed no legiti-
mate reason, was more than lost, De-
cember closing INC under Saturday. Corn
slumped nearly &c, while oats and pro-
visions receded less violently.
The fact that December wheat at the
outset rose 1hc over the previous close
the lack of better reasons was ascribed to
small country offerings and the bullish-
ness of pit traders at a moment wnen
there happened to be little pressure. The
bulge was sufficient to bring out long
wheat to say nothing of the snort article,
and this state Of affairs continued
throughout the day. Northwest receipts
maintained their record-breaking proper
tions and the visible supply statement
furnished evidence of a tremendous in
crease in stocks. This statement showed
a gain for the week of 3,872,000 bushels,
whereas last year at this time the visible
supply decreased 1,541, 900 bushels. Other
bearish influences were small export sales
reported as compared with Saturday !
enormous total; worlds shipments. 1000.
900 bushels greater than expected fav-
orable weather in Argentina; indifference
of cables to Saturdays advence in this
city and foreign advices to the effect that
cholera in Russia was not likely to re-
suit in an embargo by other nations on
the products of the Cars dominion, the
closing ranging in decline from &c on
May to INC on September. The total for
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago was
year ago.
The market for corn held its own for
few moments after the opening, but fol-
lowed this by a resumption of the recent
decline. Closing prices were at the bot"
tom with December 1a4QBc under Satur-
day. September longs were credited with
selling the deferred futures on a fairly
liberal scale. Dry weather continued
throughout the corn country and fall
feed generally is reported as being har-
vested at an enormous rate daily. Cash
corn in the sample market ruled nc to 1c

Oats were dull and prices lower in sym

was some influential buying on the soft

chased by oats shippers arrived and will

that agitation through the country on

place as an influence on the reaction

regarding the copper trade as 1t was

STANDARD OIL UNDER FIRE

New York September 21.-With &C
tive selling of stocks and acute weak
ness carried up to tn every close of
last week, it was a matter OF course
that outside selling orders should be in
considerable volume when operations
began at the stock exchange today.
From the standpoint of speculative SEN
timent, alone, very pessmistic views of
the outlook for values went out In
weekly market reviews and letters
from commission houses to clients. The
active speculative position was on the
selling side of the market. The pas
siye position was on the same side.
Urgent calls for additional margins
went out to customers at the close OF
last week, and failure to respond to
these was followed by selling out of
accounts. The opening decline in
prices also broke through the limits OF
additional stop-1oss orders and par
ticipated fresh liquidation on the mar
ket from this cause. The task of sup
plying the market, therefore, proved
difficult and it was some time in fact
before this support became effective.
closing tone was demoralized with spec
ulative liquidation on an enormous
scale.
Stocks which were supposed to be the
favorite medium of speculative opera
tions by the Standard Oil group of cap
itaiists was notably affected by the
weakness. ST. Paul was conspicuous
example. The copper industrials were
affected by this supposed relationship.
This special weakness had It's origin in
the exposures of the last few days of
former Standard Oil activity to in
huence political and legislative action.
Reports were current in the financial
district of plans for renewed attack on
the Standard Oil organization from
government sources. The effect of the
exposures, it was felt would be to in
vite renewed hostility to corporations
in general, and to the Standard Oil
company in particular, and to shape
the political campaign more definitely
in that direction.

COTTON SLUMPS
UNDER PRESSURE
Opening Is Lower On Reports
From Lancashire
MANY MILLS ARE CLOSED
After the Early Decline Prices Even

New York, September 21--Reports of a
shut down by Lancashire mills caused
quite sharp break in the cotton market
today with the close steady at a net de-
cline of 10 to 10 points. Sales were esti-
mated at 10000 bales.
The market opened steady at a decline

southern and foreign sellers and local

u per cent of the Lancashire mills had
not opened this morning, owing to labor
troubles, and that the duration of the
shut down was uncertain. But after the
early break selling on this development
became more cautious and it was pointed
out that there might possibly be a settle
market rallied slightly on covering and a
little buying on the reaction theory The
closing was to points above the lowest.
At the lowest the market was "a to 81

There was nothing in the weather news
to offset the bearish influence of the
Lancashire situation, the effect of which
upon domestic spinners and interior spot
holders is now being awaited.
Southern spot officially reported today

some thought that part of the selling
