We gave an acocunt in the Daily

ful record I'm shorthand made by
Ticic L. Kintz IN writing original let
ters in shorthand in IA days NJ the
Guthrie University. but the record has
been beaten by Miss Grace Barber,
who took two long and difficult letters
in shorthand and put them IN type on
the typewriter without an error in 13
days Miss Barber was sick several
days and made this wonderful record
this disadvantage
There are SO many calls for stenog-
raphers now that it seems more young
people would take advantage OF the op-
portunity they have Of learning short
hand IN such a short time
Prof Gulledge tells us he has more
calls for stenographers than he can
supply and we notice ancther thing
and that is the fact that his graduates,
when sent to position, always do the
the work and hold It. When we sag
they are good, the business men have
learned to depand on it. Guthrie is
fortunate In having an institution in
which all these things eau be learned
so quickly and thoroughly.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. September 26.-The net re-
suit of quiet session of the wheat mar
ket today was a slight decline. Is for
December. Corn and oats gained 1sa4c
and provisions, 212a71sc.
The volume of wheat which changed
hands today was small and the range OF
prices narrow, never getting far below
or above last night. Most of the week
end trading was done yesterday and
traders seemed willing to wait for de-
velopments for week if necessary before
committing themselves seriously. The
news of the day was not exciting. Ex-
port sales of wheat We're placed at thirty
seven loads. mostly from Duluth, and
confirmatory report of recent large
flour sales was received. Snow and rain
prevailed in parts Of North Dakota and
northwestern Minnesota. and Atchison,
Kan, reported the first rain in that sec
ton In seventy-five days. Mondays re-
ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were
expected to be heavy. December wheat
closed asc under yesterday, at LOIS. Sea-
board clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to $50 900 bushels. Primary receipts
aggregated 1,916NO bushels. compared
with 97S,OCO bushels year ago. Local
car lots were forty-five, including six of

trading with generally steady under
tone, and in spite of the early break In
American securities quotations on British
shares foreigners and kaffirs showed
fractional advances. Gilt edge shares,
especially the good yielding securities,
were fortified by the investment of the
banking balances and the funds released
from trade channels and rose toward the
week end while better traffic returns, to-
gether with reports of further pooling
arrangements strengthened home rails.
although the cotton crisis checked pro-
nounced upward movement.
The American section provided the most
interest and excitement during the week.
Prices jumped about in erratic man
ner The slump early in the week created
anxiety about the differences to be met
in the forthcoming settlement. but the
market later gave an exhibition of re-
markable recuperative powers under per
sistent support from the other side. This
induced Berlin and Amsterdam houses to
cover their earlier sales. the result being
a rise in the leading stocks of from three
to six points from the lowest. The final
values were within one point of last Sat
urday's close. Some realiZatiOns today.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, September 26.-The state
ment of clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold So, O39 $50 more
than the requirements of the "5 per cent
reserve rule. This is a decrease of S17S.-
90 in the proport Tomato cash reserve, as
compared with last week.
The statement follows:

ExU. S. deposits, 1900; decrease,
$174.1OO
The percentage of actual reserve of the
clearing house banks at the close OF bust
ness yesterday was IS Sc.
The statement of banks and trust COM
panies of Greater New York, not mem
bers of the clearing house. shows that
these institutions have aggregate de-
posits of 81 ,O44. sos 200: total cash on hand.
sos. 933. 100, and loans amounting to
$9i9 792. 500.
The Financier will say: "The statement
of the associated banks of New York city
for the week ending September 26 showed
a moderate decrease of So 54S. 800 In leans,
due mostly TO the liquidation movement
in speculative circles. The loss In cash,
taking the report of actua! conditions as
a basis, was S4O47. 300. This decrease was
occasioned by the shipment of S2,OOO.OO
of gold to Canada to meet crop require
ments, the remainder of the S4.OOO.UUO
loss having been brought about by ship
ments to the interior and losses to the
subtreasury.
THE decrease in deposits was s., $50 80.
and while this decrease lessened reserve
requirements by over a million dollars.
the actual decrease in surplus reserve was
$2S1O,35O, the discrepancy, of course, be-
ing due to the loss In cash reported above.
After having made heavy gains In pre-
vious weeks the summary of the state
banks and trust companies shows that the
trust companies are also feeling the eff
feet of liquidation in stocks, their loans
having decreased during the week about
one and one-half millions of dollars. while
their cash holdings have also contracted
about $3.50, COO"
