Chicago, Nov. Better weather in
Argentina and reassuring reports that
crop damage there would be small had
a restraining influence today on the
bulls in wheat On the other hand pre-
dicdons of lighter domestic receipts
next week tended to prevent sny great
er increase of selling pressure. After
opening unchanged to 4 lower, the
market rallied to a moderate extent,
but then sagged again to below last
nights level.
Continuance of export demand
caused the market later 10 harden
somewhat. The close was steady, 4 q
y to IS net higher.
Corn.
Prospects of cooler weather made
corn ease off. Trade was quiet. Open
ing prices which varied from 4 10 =
lower TO Is advance. were followed by
a slight decline ali around.
Subsequently the market rallied a
little with wheat The close was
Oats.
Oats held steady as result Of buy
ing on the part OF cash houses. Specu-
,ative business, however. lacked vol
Mnne-
Provisions.
Profit taking by holders more than
wiped out an early advance in pro-
visions. The market later showed un-
usual constituencies, veeriag quickly or
slight provocatioo.

Women now have full suffrage in

not upset the lead previously recorded
in favor of the women. but rural

These missing precincts might overturn
the 300 lead in Montana, but proba bly,

Chicago. Nov 1.-Wheat-A moder-
ate trade in wheat was reflected in a
comparatively narrow range Accumu-
lationS, due TO continued heavy re-
ceipts and the inability TO move out
large quantities from the sAaboard on
account of lack Of vessel room, have
discouraged broad investment interests
Local traders were disposed early to-
day to sell wheat In anticipation of
proft-taking over the weekend, due 10
this accumulation and to the fact tina,
a government report will De given out
Monday after the close. This selling
however. was Offset by a revival of ex-
port inquiry and the working Of some
new business at nearly all Of the DO
mestc markets,
CoT-The feature IN codays corn
market was the excellent demand for
yellow corn. Old No. yellow sold as
high as 7s4 cents on the tables and all
varieties Of old corn averaged ! TO .
cents higher, while new corn was
steady 10 u cent up. Export sales were
reported up TO 30o,o bushel and east
ern demand is evidenced by the high
premiums paid for yellow corn. The
puS iil5 vi AUlNTSS was created pTll-
cipally 10 cash interests while local
traders and profittaking longs sup
Piled most Of the offerings. The gov
ernments Nov. l report will be given
to the public on Monday and will be
watched with especial interest insofar
as il refers 10 corn.
Oats-Liverpoors higher quotations on
American oats gave stronger tone to
our market altho no fresh export bus
mess was reported. Closing prices are
half up as compared with yesterday
and about l Y cents higher for the
week. Strength in Liverpool was at
tributed to the belief that the Argen-
tina crop had been damaged by recent
frosts and that as soon as boats were
available new business would probably
be made for export account
Provtsions-Packers exerted pressure
on provisions which We're lower for the
entire list and closed at near inside
prices. Demand for cash meats was
less satisfactory and the western run
of hogs was heavier than anticipated

FOUND DEAD in BED
JERRY SHEAHAN'S BODY WAS
ICY COLD.
Friends Went to His Home and
Found Him Dead. Lying ON
His Bed-Think Death
Came Saturday.
LFrvm Tuesdays Daily.l

Jerry Sheahan, resident OF
Solomon for 40 years or more, was
found dead in his home yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. He was
alone in the home and investigation
seemed to show that he had been
dead since some time Saturday. Cor
oner o. A. McKillip was called from
Abilene late yesterday evening and
went to Solomon. A coroner's jury
was obtained, and the verdict reach
ed that death came from natural
causes. None of his people has been
with him for the past several weeks.
Mrs. Sheahan has been in a hospi-
tal at Chicago. She underwent an
operation there and now is staying
with son In Chicago.
The last time anyone saw Mr.
Sheahan, SO far as could be deter
mined at the inquest, was Saturday
morning, when he went over to al
neighbours and got bucket OF
water. 1t always has been Mr.. Shea
hans custom to come up town and
get his mail every morning and
when he failed to do this Saturday
It pccasioned comment among his
friends. Sunday friend went to
mis- home and knocked. There was
no answer and the friend supposed |
that Mr. Sheahan was out some
where.
Yesterday his friends became
alarmed and went to the house.
They opened the door and going in
70 the bed room, found Mr.. Shea
han lying upon the bed, face up
ward, his head thrown back and his
fAet touching the floor. He was
rarity undressed. The fire was
burned ont and the house was icy
cold. Mr.. Sheahan's body was stiff.
1t is believed that he died Satur-
day some time, for the lamps were
not burned out, and the doors were
unlocked, A suit case, from which
he evidently had taken the slippers
he was wearing, lay at the dead
mans feet. He had returned only
recently from Chicago. where he
took Mrs, sheaban for the opera
tiCn. On . table nearby lay two LETT
ters from q son, and It was believed !,
that Mr.. Sheahan was expecting to
answer these.
He had not been troubled with
heart disease, so far an is known
1t the present time. Natural causes
was the only decision the coroner's
Jury could make.
He IS survived by widow: one
