BEARS DRIVE WHEAT

Chicago Market Fails to Maintain
Early Advance and Closes
Heavy.
Prediction Made Of Winter Crop in
o. S. Amounting to 647, 7,ooo, 900
Bushels-Corn Weakens. ..a.

CHICAGO, September 25.-Bearish
estimates of the yield in the domestic
winter crop belt made wheat prices to-
day fail to hold an early advance. The
market closed heavy. V of to y up,
compared with last night, and with De-
cember at 94xa94A. and May at 81.
Corn lost Y to I cent net, oats finished
a sixteenth down to like advance, and
provisions unchanged to 10 cents
higher.
According to a well known expert
here, the winter wheat crop of the
United States will amount to 647.00e.000
bushels. a total that, despite an aban-
donment of 2,159.000 acres, is only
100000 bushels less than was esti-
mated month ago. Announcement of
the new figures led to a general rush
to sell, as long continued rains and the
large acreage abandoned had caused
an impression that the total yield
would be seriously diminished.
Quotations FAN to Rally.
Moreover, assertions by the same au-
thority were to the effect that although
the milling value of the winter crop
had been much impaired, the amount
actually unfit for any market use was
not greatly In excess of the usual per-
ccntage The result was that quota
| tions later showed no important rally.
and the close was at nearly the lowest
level Of the day.
Wet weather northwest, with fore
| cast of more. was chiefly responsible
, for bullish sentiment. which ruled the
wheat pit at the start. The movement
of the spring crop. however. was OF
such large proportions that threatened
delays failed to have a lasting In
huence on the market. especially after

Corn Shows Weakness.

hauling concerns formerly operating
In San Diego. The principal concerns
they took over were the San Diego
Transfer Company, Back Country
Transportation Company, G. f. Ga
hrlelson Construction Company, G. &
G. Construction Company, and two
ether smaller companies.
These concerns all had several mo
tor trucks. which gave the Pioneer a
large number. They are now offered
for sale on very reasonable basis
and should offer a good opportunity
to people in the valley who have need
of q good motor truck at about one

] stood on the bridge at midnight
and looked on the sizzling town,
where the pleasure seeking Aaople
were holding the sidewalks down. The
moon rose over the city and shone on
the danes and gents, but the glare
of the lights electric made il look
like thirty cents. The windows Of
homes were darkened, for no one was
staying there; the children, as well
as the grownups, were all in the
great White Glare. Deserted were
all the fresides, abandoned the old
time game; alas, that the old home

FOR THE SETTLER

"tor the settler-the homeseeker-
California is one of the choice lands
of the earth yet it is but sparsely
Populated"
This is the opening sentence in the
new booklet, california for the Set
tier an edition of which the South
ern Pacific Company has just had
printed for free distribution. Copies
are to be available for the 1915 tour
ist, in order to help him quickly to get
accurate information on what the state
has to offer as a reason why he
should choose California for his per-
manent home
The publication, which will be
shortly in the hands of 81 Southern
Pacific agents for free distribution,
contains 64 pages of text, 80 half
tones and map. The covers are in
color. The booklet takes up every
section of the state, giving in detail
what the facts are regarding western
opportunities
In answer to the settlers question,
"Why should | pick out California -
the booklet says:
"The basis of CALIFORNIA; invitation
is, first of ALL room. The state is
increasing in population, but that
there IS room Is shown by the fact
that the increased population only
gives California 15.2 persons to the
square mile, while Ohio has 1T and
Massachusetts 418 Given the same
relative density as Ohio, and Califor-
MIA would have nearly times hel
present population.
California offers the widest range
Of products, and maximum produc-
tion at the minimum cost, and it is
inevitable that the state will become
the home of 9 great number of peo-
pie, one class coming for profit, an
other for health, one chiefly for
farms, the other for comfort, and to
escape the rlgol5 of eastern clties.

of the finest farm lands in
the world unoccupled, one can hardly
eXaggerate the growth in riches. pop
ulatlon and prosperity which will be
the portion of this great state during
the next quarter of century"
In the preparation of this booklet.
the Southern Pacific has tried to make
ii truthful and dependable, so that
Fasteners may rely on it and find
actual conditions here as they arc
described. Undoubtedly It's wide dis
