isdiction.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, H., Aug. 3.-speculative
sentiment in wheat is inclined to be
bullish, although there was a smart
sprinkling of bears last night. Cash
people with few exceptions are inclin-
ed to the bear side, as the export and
eastern demand has dropped off the
past few days. One sea-board export
house said they had been unable to
draw a satisfactory bid since Friday. A
point made by conservative traders
was that stocks are accommodating too
rapidly for the public to show much
courage on the buying side, and does
not enthuse over the black rust re-
ports, because of the belief that should.
reciprocity with Canada be adopted
there win be enough wheat brought in
from there to make up the loss in
Minnesota and the Dakotas.

and who had only been employed a
day or two. At the sheriff's Office the
opinion prevails that the alleged thief
is mentally deranged or else he is q

use of intoxicants. The prisoner was
working about the farm and seeing
the horse and buggy disengaged he
took possession of it and drove Off
