CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September 21.-Expected
large world shipments had a depressing
effect today on the wheat market. Pros
poets were also for continued heavy re-
ceipts northwest. There was no export de-
mand. Opening figures varied from Il
lower to a shade advance. December
started at 912s to 911a, a sixteenth off to
like amount up, touched 915s, and then
fell to 91A.
Corn turned weak because frosts were
not so general as had been looked for
and rains had prevented damage. Deem
Der opened a shade down to shade ad-
vance at 54is to 54L and sagged to 53ss
a537s.
An easy feeling prevailed in the oats
crowd owing to the downward tendency
of wheat and corn. December started
unchanged to shade lower at 325sa32a
to 33A and declined to 32ss
1t was slow and steady market for
provisions. First sales ranged from off
to 2ka3 advance. with January at 1880
to 1922 for pork, 10.S21s for lard, and
9.S112 to $50 for ribs.

BOGUS CRIPPLES;

People Appealed to For Aid by Beg

(From Meridian Dispatch.)

Many citizens are heard each day
complaining about the unusual num-
Der of hoboes. cripples and beggars to
be seen in different parts of the city
but the best story that has yet come
to light is that told yesterday by a
prominent railroad man, who reached
Meridian in the afternoon after a run
from New Orleans.
The gentleman whose name is with
held because the mention of it would
add nothing to the interest of the
story, stated that when he left his ca
boose in the yards he noticed a num-
Der of men debarking from freight
train Some were leaving the bump
ers, others the rods and still others
from more comfortable riding places
in box cars and coal cars. His curiosity
being aroused he took a place out of
sight of the "roadsters" and watched
them to see what they would do be-
fore leaving the yards. Pretty soon
to his surprise the men, who all seem
ed to be of one gang, began to make
wonderful and truly remarkable chang
es in their personal appearance and
this too without very great trouble
and no change of clothing. He saw
one man of respectable appearance
take off his coat, vest and shirt. In
a few minutes one of the crowd as.
sisted him to redress himself and
when the task had been completed it
was a one-armed man to all outward
appearances that had taken the place
of the one who had so deliberately re.
moved the garments. This was as.
tonishing to the watcher but when he
next saw man pull from his pockets
some short pieces of wood and begin
to put them together and finally trans.
form them into a pair of crutches he
was ready for anything. The man
