The Irritating Mississippi.

The Mississippi is the greatest FRI
tant in the United States. Its tickle
ness, conscious power and haunting
eddies bring Oaths to the lips OF the
most respectable and law abiding resi-
dents along its lower course. The
greatest admirers of the river, the pcc-
pie who sing it's praises with the most
emphasis, are the one who go off on
a tangent Of temper quickest when
they find a new caving of river bank
headed toward the newest and most
expensive levce, built to protect great
plantations, while just across the
stream rise worthless bluffs and useless
sand bars. Talk to a Mississippi river
m~an-shanty boatcr, pilot, raftsman,
plantation owner or city m%erchant-and
he will brag about the river wonders.
Its bigness charms him and makes him
feel large and clatcd. Bring him
around to his OWL experiences with
it, and suddenly Il shade of resentment
crosses his face rs he recalls a shanty
Soat wrecked by a cyclone, a steam
boat snagsed, a raft torn up in some
bend, Il plantation undercut and wash
cd away or a seasons trade spoiled by
an overflow and crcvasse.

literal expression.-R. S. Spears in At

A WESTERN WOOL MARKET.

LIGHTNING AND SHIPS.
Vessels Are Struck More Frequently
Than Is Supposed,

tnaH is supposed.
In spite of the popular impression to
the contrary, ships remote from the
land are seldom damaged by lightning.
although some OF the most awe in
spring displays of atmospheric cleo
tricity are frequently witnessed by
those on board of them.
Standing rigging and even parts of
the running gear are now mace Of
steel wire, and this substitute for the
old fashioned hemp serves the purpose
of lightning conductor when the ship
is not fitted with such an aid to safe
ty. The electric current is conveyed
down the wire rigging and reaches the
sea through the vessels metal hull.
Damage occurs only if the current be
interrupted on it's way down. In a
comparatively large proportion of in

quently and the miZZen least of the
three.
Very serious casualties undo. this
head occurred to warships and mer-
chant vessels in the days Of wooden
bulls and hempen rigging. In July,
1902, rs thirteen sailing vessels of the
East India company We're trying to
round the cape in the vicinity of .Algoa
bay, homeward bound, two of them,
the Britannia and the Bombay Castle,
were struck by lightning. The fore
mast of each was soon enveloped in
flames, and the masts had to be cut
away in order to save the ships and
their combustible cargoes. A heavy
gale was blowing, the night was dark,
and the other ships Of the fleet, which
were hove to at the time, were wit
nesses Of this thrilling incident.
Many vessels are now fitted with
lightning conductors of approved types
lest the wire rigging should fail to
carry off the electric current. In May.
1896. shortly after a severe thunder
storm. accompanied by lightning ana
rain, in 3 degrees south, 81 degrees
east, the L. ana 0. steamship Victoria
had 4 sudden increase of deviation
amounting to 9 degrees in both the
standard and the wheelhouse com
passes, and later it was discovered that
the lightning conductor on the fore had
fused. The ship must have been
struck by lightning during the storm

stored, a feature that will guar antee
q western wool market ia which manu-.
facturers will be compelled to obtain
a part of their supplies. The plan is
approved by many members of the
Montana Wool Growers association,
and is submitted to the consider alton
of others in q circular letter 10 this
effect:
a fire proof warehouse j. to be con-
structed in the city OF Chicago, having
a capacity OF twenty-five million
pounds at an approximate cost OF
S400, 600: of this amount the wool
growers Of the west are expected to put
up $780, 600 and the citizens of Chicago
$50, 600. This stock is divided into
s 5000 shares Of $50 each. The sheep
men are being requested to subscribe
for this stockIat the rate of one cent
per pound for what wool they produce.
This subscription being Immediately
payable and coupled with the agree
ment that the subscriber will send
such an amount of wool TO said ware
house, to be handled and sold for the
next three years.
The warehouse charge is TO be one
cent per pound for storage, insurance,
grading and selling. The wool will
be tested asito its strength and shrink
age and a report will be made to the
owner. After this report is made to
the owner it is entirely in his hands
as to when and at;what price it will be
sold.
One Of the chief benefits to be de-
rived from such an arrangement would
probably be the ultimate corporation
Of all the western wool interests in
eliminating the middle men, the result
being that the growers through such a
cooperation would be selling direct
to the manufacturer.
The sheep commission or sanitary
board will meet in Helena on the I'd
of December, at which time quite a
number of prominent sheep men of
the state will be here. 1t Is suggested
that as many wool growers as possi-
BILE be present at this time ia order TO
consider the foregoing proposition.

New York, October 2S.-(Special.) Lily erpool reports the sale of 4000 bales of spot cotton. Middling, 5.01d; last year. 5S7d. Futures opened at points ad- vance; closed January February, 4.6Sd last year, 5.54d. While the market closes higher today than yesterday, it did not show the same strength. as realizing at the close caused loss of the entire ad- vance on October and half of the im- provement on the distant deliveries Our traders continue to maintain a favorable opinion of the market, despite the heavy receipts and look for the appearance of further buying orders for outside ac- count.
 We notice that throughout the west and north many bullish opinions emanating from Wall street houses that have been free buyers since Saturday on the idea that cotton was relatively the cheapest of all commodities and regardless of the size of the crop, it was a purchase.
 On the improvement the south contin- ues to sell its spot cotton as it has done all the season. The usual rumor re- garding the settlement of the strike is again current. About 15,00O bales of high grades are reported as coming here for delivery In October.

REACTION COMES
 IN WHEAT MARKET Favorable Weather For Fall
 Planting Is Depressing DEMAND IS MUCH BETTER The Corn Market Is Weak at the Out set, But Becomes Firm on Weather
 Reports-oats and Provi-
 sions Close Lower.
DEMAND IS MUCH BETTER

Chicago, October 2S.-Favorable weather for the fall sown crop of wheat in this country had a depressing effect on the local wheat market today, prices at the close being 1s to A@9sc lower. Corn and oats were steady and provisions easy.
 Trade in the wheat pit today lacked the activity which characterized the previous session and sentiment during the greater part of the day was bearish. At the open ing prices were 14c to ssc lower than the previous close and after luctuating over a range of barely 1zc throughout the day they were at the close almost at the exact point where they were when trad ing began. The Argentine Republic sit uation was a puzzle to local traders and news from that country was conflicting. One report claimed that the damage to the wheat crop by frost covered an area of 5,000,000 acres, or about 20 per cent Of the total wheat area of the country. The extent of the damage, however, was not stated. Other dispatches placed the injury all the way from to 20 per cent of the total crop. More rain was re- ported in sections of the southwest and although some reports were received stat
  places still lacked sufficient moisture for proper growth the majority of traders here were inclined to sell wheat as re- suit of the more favorable weather. De- mand for cash wheat in the northwest was again active and Duluth reported considerable wheat worked for export. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 556 cars, against 6S4 last week and 590 a year ago.
 The corn market closed firm after dis playing moderate weakness nearly all day owing to selling based on clear, cool weather in the corn belt. Final quota tions were unchanged to Bc higher com pared with yesterdays close December closed at 63A@63bc and May at 631sc-
 Buying by shorts and commission houses was responsible for the tirmness at the end of the session. Trade was quiet all day. Local receipts 40 cars, five contract grade.
 Oats were easy the entire session and prices f1uctuated over a narrow range. Cash houses were moderate sellers and demand was slack The weakness of wheat and corn was a bearish influence. December closed at 4Sc and May at 49B4 5Oc Local receipts, 116 cars.
 Provisions were inclined to weakness, owing to liberal receipts of live hogs at western packing centers. The volume of business was light. At the close prices were a shade to 121ac lower.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 39 cars, corn 50 cars; oats S4 cars; hogs 30,000 head.
 Cash quotations were as follows:
 Leading futures ranged as follows:
