TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Aug. 2-WHEAT-A big in
crease in the European visible supply, bet
ter crop reports from France and heavy
shipments from Russia were among the
wheat market today. Big receipts, fine
weather and decline in corn stood as
domestic favvors even more forceful
against the price of the cereal. An aver
nois, according to figures from 500 sta
tions, formed further bear1sh argument
In consequence, there was quite general
selling by longs. The market opened A@
to &c down at $1.02 to $1.02A and fell to
$1.0l%.
Indications of a As million bushel crop
in Illinois compared with 81 million bushels
by hessian fly this season were suppoed
to be large. Profit taking reulted in an
upturn, but the close was weak with
September at $1.00az to $1.00H, net loss
CORN-Rains in Kansas made selling
of corn popular. Initial quotations were
at a decline of nc to 11sc. The start in
the September option was at 62zc to 631sc,
There was good buying at the decline
but the close was easy at 62Ac to 62ssc,
a net loss of 11zc to 1ssc.
becuse of the weakness of other grin. Sep
tember opened 1sQAc to as@1zc lower at

PROVISIONS-A firmer tone to the hog

MINERS TO STAY IDLE.
General Strike Order Expected in the
Southwest Territory.

Kansas City. Aug. Negotiations
between miners and coal operators Of
the Southwestern territory. which have
dragged along over period of exactly
four months, have been brought to a
final end. A general strike order will
be issued Immediately. according to
George Manuel, secretary of the Mis-
souri, district, and thirty thousand or
more miners, wherzhave not worked
since the expiration of the old con-
tracts April l., willie be formally on
strike. 40 , 81
OF the number of miners affected
by the strike order, about $500 are in
Kansas. about $500 in Missouri 5000
in Oklahoma and about 5000 in Ar
kansas. Some 5000 miners in Texas,
though in another district. will be in
directly affected by the strike order
and this. too. will have an indirect
bearing upon the miners in Colorado
and other western states
At present there are a number of
independent mines in this territory
that from the beginning have paid the
wage scale asked and at these mines
there has been no cessation of work.
They employ approximately $500 men
in Missouri, about 1900 in Kansas and
1000 in Oklahoma and Arkansas. EN-
ployes of these independent" con-
Germs will not be asked to discontinue
work

WANTED TO BE COTTON KING.
That Was the Secret of Wider's Down
fall, 1t Is Said.

New York, Aug 2.-According to
friends of Erwin G. Wider. who is
charged with having taken $3.50 900
from the Russo-Chinese bank here, the
former cashier many years ago con-
ceived a scheme for becoming a cotton
king" by shrewd market moves. It
was in an attempt to carry out this
plan a few months ago they say, that
he was overwhelmed. Wider was
short of cotton, they declare, all the
time that Patten and his associates
were advancing the price.
The men advising Wider induced him
to keep on turning over securities by
telling him that with just a little more
up they would be able to break Patterns
pool and he would be the greatest man
in the street.
The report that Wider secreted stolen
securities or the money he realized on
them is el-.phatically denied by his
counsel.
IF he ever had 500. 000." said his law
yer, "he would not have kept it long.
AS a fact, he received practically no
benefit from the securities he took.
Wall street with its voracious NAV
swallowed them ALL"

guage was distinctly blunt and plain.

was closed just prior to Mr.. Roosevelt S
departure for Africa, was brought
about through an article in the August

that if national election were to be

When Colonel Roosevelt saw this his
eyes snapped and his teeth clicked as
he almost shouted:
THAT is a simple falsehood; 1 have
never said anything like that
1t was pointed out to Colonel Roose-
welt that Colonel Harvey evidently
meant to convey the impression that
he would be forced to accept the
nomination. BY this time Colonel
Roosevelt appeared extremely angry;
and, again repeating that he had never
made the statement attributed to him,
made a rush for the waiting elevator.
'It may be unseemly for me to en-
gage with Mr.. Roosevelt in contro-
versy involving a question of veracity.

home at Deal Lake, N. J., last night.

HORSE SHOW ON BOARD.
Steamer Minnewaska Scene of the
First Event of the Kind.

New York, Aug. 2.-The trip of the
Atlantic transport line steamship
Minnewaska from London, just ended
at this port, was enlivened by horse
show, the first of its kind ever held
upon the sea. The vessel was carry
ing consignment of very fine horses
including some which will be exhibit
ed at the International Horse Show
in Chicago.
There were 226 horses on the Min
newaska. The owners of nearly all
the animals were passengers and the
idea of holding a horse show came
about when these men got together to
talk horse. The idea took hold at
once and the affair was held between
decks on Friday. A ring was made
with a short run to exhibit the gait
of the entries. The judge was Edwin
Hobson, an Illinois horseman.
The horse owners on board included
Samuel Bell and William Bell, of
Wooster, O.; Worth Durham of
Wayne, ILL.,; ]. Hamilton and Mr.
Hawthorn. Canada; E. Hobson, Cliff
ton, ILL.,; W. v. Pewis, Wayne, ILL.,;
W. E. Pritchard. Ottawa, Canada, and
]. G. Truman of Bushnell, al.
Most noted of the horses aboard the
Minnewaska was Shelford Pride, a
winner of many prizes, owned by ]. G.
Truman. Truman brought over forty
shires, among the noted shire gelding
Victor, which also is to be exhibited
at the Chicago horse show.

BASS STAYS HOOKED 5 YEARS.
Fish Kept Prisoner in Radius OF IS
Feet Appears None the Worse.

Winsted, Conn, Aug. 2.-Hey, you
fishermen, can you beat this? Five
years ago Moses G. Butler of West
Cornwall, while fishing in Cream Hill
lake, in that town, rested his pole
across the how of the boat to light
his pipe of tobacco. In the twinkling
large fish seized the bait and the
pole disappeared
Butler spent several days with grap-
pling hooks searching for the missing
pole and line, but no trace of it could
be found Thursday while Attorney
John Patterson, w. D. Bosler, E. d.
Cartwright and w. H. Tully were fish,
ing on the same lake, Patterson had a
bite, and the reel sped out some go
yards of line. The battle between men
and fish lasted half an hour, and the
bass, which weighed six and one-half
pounds, was landed with a net
A hook was found fastened through
the roof of the f1sh's mouth, attached
to a second line. The line was down
in the water. and at the end was a
pole with a reel attached, which Cart
wright readily recognized as the pole
which Butler had lost five years ago.
The bass had lived within the radius
of the lenth of the line, some rs feet,
and appeared none the worse for carry
ing the burden of hook, line and the
pole The pole, reel and line are in a
remarkably good state of preserva-
ton.

DREAMS OF CLEARING HOUSE.
President O'Neil of Western League
'.Seems to Have Right Hunch.''

From Chicago comes the following
dream of Tip O'Neill, president of the
Western League:
Tips theory is that there should be
& general clearing house for baseball
players in Chicago. Now Frank Isbell
man whom he doesn't think particular
ly well of. He may be a bit too slow
for the Western League. So Issy makes
up his mind to dispose of the player.
At the same time there is a manager
down south who would like to have
that very third baseman. In fact, the
Southern manager is tearing his hair
snd lying awake at nights because he
can't get a. third baseman.
You see. this Southern manager
doesn't know that Isbell is going to
dispose of this third baseman.
But If there was baseball clearing
house he would.
For As hours before Tsbell disposed
of his third baseman by firing him he
would notify the clearing house that he
wanted to dispose of the man.
And before that Southern manager
began to tear his hair and worry about
losing the pennant because he could
not find q third baSeman he would wire
er there was a third baseman at lib
erty.
And there you are
The clearing house would notify
FRANK lSDell that man IN the south
wanted a third baseman. exon
The clearing house would notify the
southern manager that Frank Isbell
had third baseman whom he could
secure.
Then Isbell and the southern man
ager could get together and make the
trade. The exchange would have
served its purpose. 1t would have in
troduced purchaser to a seller For
which it would collect a fee,
Tip seer-s to have the right hunch-
There is seldom a week passes that
some manager of the Western league
does not wire Tip and ask where a
player can be secured. Injuries have
put an outf1elder out of commission
and a substitute is needed forthwith.
If Tip hSoDens to know where one
can be obtained all good and well. If
he doesn't. the team is up against it.
The same thing holds good in every
other miner league. That is one side
of the stor--.
There is scarcely a day that some
club does not release player A
pitcher, a catcher or an in or out
fielder
Sometimes a man still has a lot of
baseball in him. He doesn't know
| where to secure another job. But he
would if there was such an exchange.
He could spend the price Of a telegram

tion with manager who needed him.
~ would work in still another way.
SIlen times manager carries player
ne believes to be too valuable to re-
tease, but at the same time this player
would be sold il a fair price could be
secured In another part of the coun-
Try there is a manager who has need Of
just such player. Well, If that play
er was listed that other manager would
nave the chance of making the sale.
Tip would require every league that
entered into the clearing house scheme
to put up a cash bond. This to guaran-
tee that where a manager had a player
he expected to release or wanted to
sell that he would notify the exchange
In advance
For it would be a useless concern if
the managers did not notify the ex-
change of players they wished to dis
pose of.
Tip has an idea that minor league
owners and managers the country over
would consider the man who opened
such an institution as one of the great
friends of the game.
And Tips philanthropy?
It would consist in outlining in fur
Their detail just how the clearing house
should be operated.
