CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Most operators, in
discussing the wheat situation after
the close last night said that the ad-
vance OF the day was due to covering
by some OF the largest shorts. Even
the houses who bought the most
wheat, Peavey and Rosenbaum, made
this assertion. They said there was
nothing in the situation aside from
fair -four trade in the northwest, to
buy wheat on. The market had been
oversold and some large shorts were
simply taking profits. AS for chang
ing their hedges the fact that they
bought December and on bulges sold
May, should not be taken as meaning
that they were changing their hedges
from December to May with the diff
ference around six cents as it was II

CORN CONTEST

jamestown. NJ D., Oct 27.-County
superintendent Wanner announces that
the annual Stutsman county corn con-
test will be held Friday, Nov. 4 at /: 80
p. m, at the courthouse in jamestown.
The exhibit may not attain to that OF
last year, owing to the dry season and
early frost; but I'VE have some cred
table drawbacks" he says. Though
Friday is a school day, it seems best
to hold the contest at that time in
order that those from distance may
attend without being obliged to trav-
ell on Sunday. He extends to all
pupils and parents a cordial invita-
tion to attend, whether they have
sent corn or not.
AS last year Prof. g. w. Randlett
OF the agricultural college will Judge
the corn and his remarks at that time
will be valuable to all interested In corn
raising. Attendance here viii be con-
sidered the same as attendance at
school. All who have sent corn and

waiting, etc. should send In the letter

Grain Opinions.

Logan & Bryan: We think it only
a question of time until the local bull
efforts will give out, selling pressure
will return and the trade will again
have bear market and declining
prices. 1t is we'll to remember that
much of the support in wheat today
was caused by strength in corn and it
depends on the weather promised.
Finley Darrell & Co.: AS local sent
iment is apparently mixed the wheat
market for the time being will doubt
less continue a nervous tending affair,
but as we can see nothing to warrant
any pronounced or sustained advance
believe advantages should be taken Of
any further improvement in wheat,
again make sales.
Clement Curtis & Co.: The wheat
market will fluctuate within narrow
limit while agaiting more definate idea
of the curtailment of shipments and
supplies. Corn may be lifted a little
further on bad weather, but no wealth
er conditions will impair the big crop
and we still cling to the selling side.

will cost 100000. During the first
year of the company's location In Far.
go it is promised that 100 people will
be brought to the city and that so per
cent of these will be married men with
families.
Mr.. Myrick asks that the people of
the city cooperate in securing de-
sirable homes for these people and see
that they are not held up because Of
their newness in the city In other
words he would desire that the citizens
of the city secure options on desirable
homes and lots for buildings purposes.
He further asks that the citizens work
together in subscribing for the paper
to be published here and for another
publication of the company, Good
Housekeeping, He asks that these
subscriptions be for some length, as

club this afternoon. Continuing, Mr..
Hardy said: THE way the PROPOSE
ton looks now, believe that it will

thing for Fargo to have the publishing
house located here"
