Foreign News Weak.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Today's decline
in wheat can be attributed to the
same causes as outlined in our letter
of yesterday. To this must be added
weak foreign news due to favorable
crop reports from India and Argen-
tine, and lack of storage room in the
United Kingdom and continental ports.
Southwest reported increased farm
ers' sales, due to favorable winter
wheat outlook. Export clearances for
the day only 2S5,O0O bushels. North
western flour trade slow. Primary
movement, however, made favorable
showing for the buying side, but liquid.
alton nevertheless carried prices for
the third consecutive day into new
low ground.
Corn held well on unfavorable
weather predictions and weakened in
sympathy with other grains. We stEl
believe that this years short yield
is the predominating feature.
Oats-Market ruled steady the great
er part of the session until toward
the close. The grading of contrac.
of cargo of Canadian oats here start
ed fresh liquidation.
Provisions-Despite bearish atti
tude of packers and weak grain MIR
ket provisions made a good showing
We believe, however, bearish attitude
of pig interests cannot be disregard
ed at this time.
Stocks-The bear campaign has
been long drawn out affair, weak
holders have liquidated and strong
interests are apparently accommodating
stocks. We are unalterably bullish
If a holder of stock, we would buy

ORIGIN OF BLACKMAlL.
The Term Was Born of outiawry O
the Scottish Border.

The Term Was Born of Outiswry on
the Scottish Border.
The etymoIogy of the expression
'blackmail'' is historically interesting.
1t appears to have its origin on the
Scottish border and dating from times
when frequent political feuds between
the then two kingdoms of the British
islands tacitly justified sort of per-
ennial terrestrial buccaneering as be-
tween borderers of each realm.
Many of these were outlaws on both
sides of the border Their neighbor-
ing victims to save their cattle from
being lifted sometimes compounded for
safety by an annual payment as insur-
ance to the bandits. This fee not only
gave Them immunity. but entailed
them 20 protect them from rival free
hooters. 1t was their mail" or PRO
lection" The mali coach was so
named because 1t had its armed guard
with loaded blunderbuss on the dickey.
But the mail paid by border farmers
was not for honest royal protection.
but for guardianship by thieves. and
hence was black mail, the color Of
black being typical of what was nefa-
rious, whether in ar: or in guardian
ship, while the guardian Of this stamp
was known as the "blackguard" of the
district. The last named latter day
term Of reproach seems to have OBJ
tanned its expression originally as here
described.-London Field.

Liverpool Situation.

Liverpool, Oct 17.-Wheat opened
with general heavy realizing. The
weakness in American cables and the
decline in Winnipeg together with
continued heavy Winnipeg receipts
and the pressure of new Manitoba Of
fers, caused decline. Spot markets
were easy, with special pressure In
No. l Manitoba, which was PA pence
lower. Cargoes were freely offered
at IL to pence decline. Large
firms liquidated.
Corn lower with heavy general real
izing. The unexpectedly large Ar
gentine shipments and pressure Of
corn at the docks owing to lack of
storage room and the decline in plate
spot here led to renewed liquidation.

today is the day we predict, with muca
