THE WORL DIS MARKETS

Of Trade and ST. Lous Merchants Exchange
LOCAL BUILDING PRIVATE WE'RE
: Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 13.-Wheat-
Trade has fallen off and bearish stat
tistics are having depressing effect,
Continued heavy offerings of Russian
and Manitoba wheat abroad keep Eu-
rope in bearish mood The Canadi-
an crop is considerably short of last
year, but this fact is not exerting
much influence on American prices.
Big stocks and heavy burden are
the dominating Influences. We have
carrying charge situation with a
heavy percentage against the bull.
The market is perhaps somewhat over
sold at the moment, after its long
decline, and rallies are not improb-
able. We look for scalping market
but believe sales on the hard spots
will be profitable.
Corn-Failure of frost to appear in
the corn belt as predicted encouraged
a renewed campaign of short selling
Even the forecast of light frost to-
night did not stimulate prices. Wet
weather has decreased country offer
ings, and the movement will probably
be lighter for time. Bad storms
have done considerable damage, but
their influence will probably be only
local. Primary shipments are heavy
and there is more or less talk of an
export business. The corn crop is late
and is still in serious danger. The
general situation with big crop out
look Is bearish, but conditions make
the short side somewhat dangerous on
soft spots.
Oats-Country offerings are very
light and there is no new hedging pres
sure. More or less long stuff was sold
OF the weakness of corn. Heavy pur-
clases of May by the Patten interest
continue to attract attention we are
not bullish on cats but consider them
moderately safe purchase
Provisions-A sharp break in hog
prices, 25 to SOC lower than yester-
days average, caused some liqulda-
ton. Packers who have recently CIV
en- the market some support were the
best sellers. There may be some raj
lies on any fair cash demand put
advances are likely to be small. The
trend Of hog prices and provisions Is
lower. We believe January product
should be sold on hard spots.
Sample Market-Wheat quiet. Pre-
miums about unchanged. Most ar
rivals applied on contracts. Corn nc
lower, early with futures. Offerings
light, closing prices about equal yes
terday. Oats steady to Ac igher'
Offerings small. Fair demand for
shipment.

 A new jury box was used for the first time on Friday, it being the idea of Clerk George D., Parsons, who for some time has been working to get something to replace the cigar box plan which has been used for some time. The. new box is made of sheet steel, covered with leather, having a Yale lock, and at each end is a handle, so that it can be carried very easily. It is 17x12 and 3 1-2 inches high. Fit ted into the box are small compart- ments with covers containing the names of the men liable for jury duty in the different towns of the county. These slips are rolled and have an elastic about them, so the name can not be seen until the slip is opened. There are 23 compartments in the box, which completely fill it, the additional two, as there are but 21 towns, being used for notices, etc, in connection with the jury selection The cOmpart- ments are of different sizes. to com- pare with the humber of names the town is entitled to.

Talk of Loan Exhibition of Patriots at First Church 25oth Anniversary-Dr. James to Address Womsn.

It is being suggested that the loan exhibition of portraits which was to have been held in connection with the 25Oth anniversary of the town be held during the 250th anniversary in May of the First Congregational church. Such an exhibit would be as interesting as that of Old Home week held in Nor wich Town in September. 1901, when over 2.0o0 people were registered and which ex-President Cleveland attend l. ed.

EARNS s1,ooo A DAY.
Estate of 8. D. Lawrence Has a Big
 Income During Settlement.

An idea of the wealth of the late Sebastian D. Lawrence is readily ap- preciated by the average person, when it is stated that the estate now earns a daily income of about $1,00O.
 Mr. Lawrence died on May 28 and every day since that. Sundays and holidays included, the wealth, which he accumulated, has been earning a sum equal to $1.000, says one inter- ested in it's administration. By agree ment between heirs and administra- tors the income of the estate has been paid for nearly year to the heirs. It is proba bie that before a year passes after MT. Lawrence's death the final accounting will have been rendered and the estate will be divided among the beneficiaries.
 It was stated authoritatively that the $365, 5,000 derived as income from the property during the year would nearly pay the expenses of administra- ton. The actual cost of administra- ton will be. paid from the principal of the estate.

John F. Kingsley Says Molly @. and Lady Nelson Are Ons and the Same Animal.
Especial to The Rulletin.) )


 Providence, R. l., April 29.-A case in which there is considerable inter- est, especially among the sporting fraternity throughout New England. involving as it does, charges Of ringers on the race tracks of this section of the country, has been be- fore Judge Brown and a jury in the superior court here dor several days. It has to do with the identity and value of Lady Nelson. a racing and breeding mare,- with a mark of 2-14 If owned by Stephen Sweet of this city, who has sued the Maine Creamery Go. for $1,500 for injuries alleged to have been sustained by the racer on Au- gust 26, 1908, when one of the de- fendant company'S automobiles struck her.
 Testimony was introduced by the defense purporting to show that Lady Nelson was expelled from the track by the National Trotting association in May, 1908, for racing as ringer" under the name of Molly O. The a mare as Molly O.. really did exist and died up in Putnam, Conn. by breaking a leg short time ago. pr. F. N. Darling of Putnam, testified that he purchased horse called Mol ly O. from a foreigner, that she broke a leg in Palmer and had to be killed Thomas Blanchard, a stable keeper of Palmer, testified, however, that the horse was at his stable for five weeks and was in good condition when it left there.
 It seemed to be pretty we'll estah- fisiled by the evidence that Lady Nell son did go by the name of Molly O. at one time. John F. Kingsley of Mon son. who drove Molly O.. identified the horse that was injured and for which damages were asked. as Lady Nelson, or rather the other way about. Kings ley drove the animal under the name of Molly O. at the time that she was expelled from the track by the Ma tiona1 Trotting association, but he was exoneratsd by the association.
