MARKET DISCUSSION
Shrinkage in Corn Expected
Something About Proba-

Sioux City. Nov. 2.--aeavy losses to

yield itself is heavy, averaging from
fifty to sixty bushels pei acie.
Corn all over Iowa, Nebraksa and

time. losses will be sustained, it is
said, by farmers who store in their
cribs while waiting for better quota
tions during the winter.
The frost came early this year, about
September GOA month earlier than
last season. At that time the corr
was still soft and pulpy and the milk
was consequently sucked back into the
cob and thence into the stalk. The
corn still weighs approximately the
same as in other years, but is due to
shrink heavily after storage. Practi-
caliy all of the old corr on the market
Is gone now, making the demand for
the new crop heavy. In view Of the

years about IS per cent of the crop

there is no question of lower prices this

about half of that prevailing last year.
1t is expected that the next sixty
days will see a heavy movement Of
oats to the market. The raisers have
been waiting to determine the size of
the corr crop. The desire of the farm
ers to avoid the inevitable s~hrinkage on
corn will also delay the shipment Of
oats.
The wal among the Balkan states
has disturbed the wheat market con-

Many of the spectators waited for de-
velopments before buying. Much of
the wheat crop has been moved al

Minneapolis and Duluth has tended,

COST OF LIVING STILL SCARS
Only Reduction Noted is In Fruits
and Vegetables.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Just how the
cost of living is climbing was illus.
trated in a special statement by the
department of agriculture showing
prices paid to farmers for their prod
ucts. Almost every sort of edible has
increased not only since last month,
but in the last few days.
Beef cattle. for instance, sold for
1892 per 100 pounds a year ago-now
the farmer receives $3.50. Prices for
veal, hogs, sheep, mich COWS, milk
and tomatoes have likewise scared.
There are slight reductions noted in
values of apples. peaches, pears,
beans, cabbage and onions.

Boomerang

Deadwood, Nov. Alt has been
many years since a delegation OF
South Dakota stalwarts acted as a re.
ception committee for a democratic
candidate for governor of this state,
but that actually happened in Dead
wood when Ed s. johnson, of Yankton
democratic candidate for governor,
reached this city upon a tour of the
Black Hills. Among the reception
committee at the depot We're Kirk u.

have its army of employees support
him on election day, because TIE Home

republican candidate for governor,
hau just finished a sojourn of two
days in Lead when Mr.. johnson ar
lived and MIR. Bryne was exceedingly
pleased with the reception which he
received In Lead. He vi sited every
part OF the mine which ia open to tour
lists and had an opportunity to meet .
large number of the workmen. He
says that Roosevelt will stand as much
show as Wilson in the great mine and
that Jobnson's majority will not be as
large as some people would like to
have it among the miners.
1t is the opinion of the bes. posted
Roosevelt men in this section that the
action OF the stalwarts in openly
showing their pleasure at the arrival
of Mr.. Johnson will prove q boomerang
and that election day will reveal the
displeasure of many republicans at
their action.

fAfT's FOURTH ANNUAL =
, MESSAGE TO CONGRESS =

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A note of
warning to European powers which, by
indirect means, continue to discrimi-
nate against American trade; a strong
appeal to the congress to uplft the
great foreign policies of America above
mere questions of partisanship; tri-
umphant vindication of the diplomacy
of the administration, which char
acterized as that of dollars versus
bullets;" a masterful pride in the enOr-
nous expansion of America trade as
q result Of the foreign policies Of his
administration. and an earnest appeal
for joint acton by congress and the
executive to open new markets for
American industries-these are the
more striking features Of President
Taft's fourth annual message sent to
congress yesterday.
The message is the first of series
OF such communications which he will
make to congress in the the early days
OF the session. and deals entirely with
the foreign relations of the United
States. Beginning with the usual re-
ferences to the existing good relations
'ith foreign powers. the president adds
that these have been strengthened by
a greater nsistence upon justice to
American citizens, or interests, wher-
ever it may have been denied, and a
stronger emphasis of the need of mu-
tuality in commercial and other re-
ations.'

OPERA REVIVAL THE
FASHION OF THE HOUR

The opening Of the present season
brings to our attention that we are a
music loving people. Today America
is showing an increased appreciation
of the comic operas of thirty years
ago. and that there is no doubt Of the
successful issue Of an extensive re-
vival Of old operas has been proven by
such stars as DeWolf Hopper, Eugene
Cowles and Arthur Cunningham.
Nothing is more to be desired than
return of these, beautiful master
pieces, reminiscent of days Of ro-
nance and poetry. They remind the
hearer of the joys of the past and of
his loss in now seeing them so seldom.
The desire for novelty has led the
public, thus far, away from the operas
Of the past. This same desire is lead
ing them back; thus does the Whirli-
gig of Time bring its revenge. New
productions do not satisfy the finer
emotions Of the present generation.
"The play-going and music-loving
population of today owes debt of
gratitude to the producing managers
who have discrimination and nerve
enough to go to cedar chests for
material admitting the short comings
Of contemporary authors and compos.
ers." comments q we'll known critic.
The Beggar Prince Opera. with its
wealth Of melody. bright. gay and
catchy. is an instance of this revival
process. The management Of the
Star Theatre is particularly fortunate
In securing this attraction for one
night. The cast Is made up Of well
known artists. who have been selected
on account Of their peculiar fitness for
the parts. and . most satisfying per-
formance il assured. This opera will
be presented at the Star December II.

PRAY At WORK ON DESERT ACT
Question of Rights Of Entrymen BE.
fore Secretary Fisher.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Represent.
ative Pray has taken up with the inter.
i0r department the question of rights
of entrymen who initiated entries un-
der the desert land act three and four
years ago and are now planning to
make final proof and whose rights are
thought to be jeopardized by reason
of the fact that the lands adjoining
those they entered have been taken up
subsequently under the homestead act
and are being cultivated. There are
many such entries now pending n
Mcntsna, and fear prevails among the
desert land entryn4fn that the depart
Eent intends to held their entries for
cancellation or TIE ground that their
lands are not Of desert character. s.pce
the adjoining lands are being cultivat.
ed and produce crops.
Mr.. Pray contends that inasmuch as
the lands were believed to be desert,
filings were made and, inasmuch as
the department accepted payments and
filings under the desert law. 1t cannot
cancel entries where entrymen have
shown full compliance with the desert
and act. The secretary Of the interior
has not yet rendered q decision ON
this question. but Mr.. Pray Is anxious
to present the side Of the desert entry
men before q precedent is established.
