Minister
Says if He Could He Would
Have 10000 w. Va. Meth
odists Vote for Swisher.

Hon. Charles Wesley swisher, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for governor OF West Virginia, has a
very strong supporter in the person
OF the Rev. John Beddow. formerly
pastor Of Andrews church, this city,
says Thursdays Grafton Republican,
and at present the able presiding ell
der OF the Charleston district of the
NJ. E. church, with headquarters and
residence in Charleston, Rev. Bed
dow spent the past few days in Graf
ton.
When asked concerning the
chances Of the three Republican can
didates for the Republican nomina-
tion, Rev Beddow says that Mr..
swisher is far and easily in the lead
of all the other candidates and that
he win get the nomination by a big
majority dn the state convention.
Rev. Beddow is very enthusiastic in
Mr.. Swisher's behalf. He states that
the calumnious stories going abroad
over the state have been circulated
TO do the candidate harm, but that.
as Is usually the case, but they are
making his candidacy all the more
popular. Rev. Beddow is very strong
3 in his denunciatIon of these stories,
and says they are absolutely not true
and that he has been very intimately
associated with Mr.. swIsher as with
all state officers, since going to
Charleston and that although Mr..
swisher is not a church member. the
city Of Charleston has no better cit
izen, nor more liberal minded man,
than Mr. swisher. He says that Mr..
Swisher's contributions to religious
causes are very liberal and always
sure; that he is never appealed to IN
vain upon a worthy subject. and that
his private purse Is always at the
command OF the minister OF the Cos
pei. no matter OF what denomina-
tion.
1t is rarely one sees so able and
successful minister OF the Gospel
as Rev. Beddow take so deep an in
terest in politics. but Rev. Beddow
makes the further assertion concern
ing Mr.: Swisher that If he (Beddow)
could control every one of the forty
thousand Methodist voters in West
Virginia, he would cast every one II
those votes for Charles w. Swisher
for governor. Continuing Rev. Bed
dow relates number OF personal ex-
periences he as had with NJ. Swish
er at Charleston, one of them being
particularly striking, and which Will
recalls the generous Swisher to every
man who has enjoyed his acqualnt-
ance. Rev Beddow, who has II
counties in charge as presiding elder
wished to establish charge far ur
in the mountains of one Of the coun-
ties; there was no church members
no church, no nothing, except people
to be saved; he sought long before
he could find clergyman to take the
charge; there was no salary attach
ed; no promise of anything definite
for the future. "Take the charge
said Rev. Beddow, do what you car
and we will see that you don't starve
to death" A few weeks later Mr.
Beddow received Mr.. rSwisher's per-
sonal check for $50, ito keep the
missionary from starving to DEATH
Mr.. Swisher. says Rev. Beddow. had
heard OF the matter, and without
asking any information that he was
aware of, had generously contributed

PRICE OF WHEAT
 .SLUMPS SHARPLY Market Is Weak the Entire Day
 and Closes Lower SMALL RALLY IS NOT HELD Corn Is Strong Early on Excellent De- mand, But Sentiment Turns Bear ish and Close Is Lower-oats

SMALL RALLY IS NOT HELD

Chicago, October 2-Absence of general demand here and at northwestern grain centers caused slump in wheat prices on the local exchange today final quotations showing net losses of sc to 1Q11sc Corn and oats also closed weak, but provisions were firm.
 With the exception of one or two mild rallies the wheat market was weak the entire session and closed at almost the low point of the day. At one time fair rally was experienced on reported heavy sales of flour by Minneapolis millers and later prices again made slight gains on a report from New York, which claimed that 62 boat loads of wheat had been sold for export. This report was later found to be an exaggeration, the total export sales at New York being given as only 16 boat loads. The market was also bearishly affected by liberal export movement from Argentine and continued heavy movement from the northwest Ar rivals today at Duluth and Minneapolis wer III cars, against 567 cars a year ago.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to S2S00O bushels, and exports for the week as shown by Bradstreets were equal to 6,47SOOO bushels.
 Primary receipts were 1,733,0OO bushels, compared with ,O00 bushels the cores bonding day year ago.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of ,153 cars, compared with 126S cars a week ago, and 66S cars a year ago.
 c+rA rIx in fho doH nf1 continued excellent demand for cash grain by shippers. Later, however, sentiment became bearish, partly on account of the slump in wheat and partly as a result of rumors of an early movement of the new crop. Trade was rather quiet late in the day and the market closed at all most the bottom with prices 12c to 11sc lower.
 Local receipts were considerably more than had been estimated, being l51 cars, 51 of which were of contract grade. Oats were firm the greater part of the day. but eased off late in the session owing to the weakness of wheat and corn, and closed a shade to ssc below the pre- vious close. The strength of cash oats, which were up Ac to 1ac, was one of the chief bullish influences. Local receipts were 199 cars.
 Provisions held firm all day, despite the weakness manifested in the grain market, and closed at net gains of 211c to 10c. The market was bulishy affected by the monthly statement of stocks of provisions in Chicago, which showed a small total and also by large decrease in the world s | available stocks of lard. A feature of l trading was the buying of October pork | by local packers.

New York, October "A slight early advance in cotton today was followed by a decline during the afternoon from which the market rallied partly, closing very steady, net unchanged to 5 points lower. Sales were estimated at 1750O0.
 The market opened steady at a de, cline of point to an advance of l point and soon frmed up as the census figures were rather under recent expectations with prices shortly after the call showing a net advance of 5@6 points. Part of this gain had been lost under realizing be- fore the condition figures were issued at II o'clock, and later the market be- came quite weak under liquidation by early buyers who were disappointed that the government reports had failed to stimulate buying interest, while there also were reports of lower interior markets, weather reports were favorable, and the south was a steady, though moderate seller of local futures. After showing a net loss of 5@7 points, the market steadied up on realizing by shorts and the active months closed some to 3 points above the lowest. The condition figures of 69.7, compared with 67.7 last year, and 71.6 two years ago, proved so near expectations as to have practically no effect on the market.

STOCK MARKET IS

 the Close Is Steady.
PRICES TENDING UPWARD

New York, October 2.-The profes- sional room traders still had the stock market much to themselves today and for much of the day their devices for moving prices were as lacking in force and success as on preceding days. The publication of the statement of the Au- gust net earnings of the Hartman Pacific railroads, midway of the session.. put a different face on the market and proved an effective supplement to the rather futie efforts of the traders to advance prices. The Pacific statement. especially was regarded as evidence of a notable turn for the better in the railroad business situation; the special force of the statement lay fin the fact that its reported gain of $6S1,138 in net earnings compared with August of last year was not secured by so drastic a cut in operating cost as those in re- cent reports of other railroad systems in which any improvement in net earn ings comparisons have occurred. Gross earnings themselves are shown to be only $33,041 less than the preceding August, while the s749SS2 cut in oper- ating cost amounts to less than Is per cent. This demonstration of Sustaining earning power in a stock the price of which implies a doubt of the mainten- ance of present dividend rates, proved An indictment to an active. speculative movement in it. The price mounted buoyantly and carried the rest of the list decisiveIy with it, at first irregu- larly and hesitatingly, but with gather ing momentum. An advance in the local transactions was due to the pro- fessed political views of the buyers of the stocks. The Rock Island group had the advantage of creditable reports that a plan was forming to provide for the capital requirements of the St. Louis and San Francisco.
 A jump in American Car preferred, in which there is a common dominant interest with Rock Island, was in terpreted as indication of the bullish attitude of the group of capitalists thus pointed to- The events of wider import seemed to have little effect on the market. The severe deterioration in condition of the cotton crop shown by the government report received SIldll aILenlloH ln0 COIlOH IidlhcI itself, and was therefore ignored in the stock market. The cotton market. however, is under the divided influence of this factor and the lessened con- sumptive demand caused by the Eng fish cotton mill lockout. Estimates of loss in cash holdings by the banks of $7,000,000 for the week caused no un- easiness in view of the ease with which the October settlements have been financed The same indifference was shown to a suggestion that another call for return of an fnstallment of government deposits was an early prob ability in view of the declining cash balance in the government treasury. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value $3,6O6,000 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
