I'VE are now spending more than

ten times as much as we are spend

There has not been a time in fifty

T0DiY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, Nov. 5.-WHEAT-Reports
that the crop movement from first hands
in the Northwest showed notable falling
off tended to rally the wheat market to-
day after early decline. Temporary
weakness at the start was due largely
TO Liverpool assertions that arrangements

May both at $1.05 to $1.05A, prices eased
off trifle more, and then rose to we'll

CORN-Export business lifted corn.
Prospects for unsettled weather counted
also against the bears. Opening prices,
which ranged from &c off to NC up,
were followed by moderate general adj
vance.
Many reports of poor husking returns
were current. The market, however, closed

Emperor of Japan Journeys to
Place of Coronation.
Takes Imperial Shrine and Sa-
cred Treasures With Him.
TWENTY WHITE PEOPLE THERE
Foreigners See Ceremony for
First Time IL History.
Worship of Ancestors Will &C.
cupy Sixteen Days.

Tokyo. Japan, Nov. 5.-Japan's en-
peror today departed for Kyoto, taxing
with him the imperial shrine with its
sacred treasures, the divine mirror, the
sword and the jewel bequeathed to the
emperors by the sun goddess, IN an
ticipation of his coronation at that
place November 10.
The substance of all the coronation
rites to be observed between TO-DAY
and December l, iS ancestor worship
time immemorial" Not more tnan
twenty white persons will witness TINS
bizarre, splendid, yet simple return 10
the primitive days of the world When
man worshipped the spirit of his dead
father in temples that were rude nuts
Count Okuma characterized this
ceremony as the natural reverence OF
a son for his father, carried beyond
the grave and expanded into a great
system of society in which the nation
is a super-family and the emperor a
super-fatheri" Every phase of the
ceremony is some communication of
the new emperor to all the dead en-
perors concerning his ascension to the
throne.
The shrine, conveyed in a gorgeous
and bedizened "bogie carriage" is
itself just a plain, white, undecOrated
wooden shed such as the first emper-
ors used.
On November 9, the emperor at
Kyoto will receive Mr.. George Guthrie,
former mayor of Pittsburg and other
foreign representatives Mr.. Guthrie
may be unable to reach Kyoto in time
for this reception as he has been in
the United States recently.
There is no crowT- ard no browning
at the coronation November 10. The
ceremony is conducted in pavilion of
plain white wood, in the center of
which the emperors canopy, (not
throne), is set. No nails are used in
this structure, nor paint nor orna-
ments. The emperor reads an address
to the princes, officials and foreign
Representatives. 1t will be the first
time foreigners have attended the
Ger emory.
Count Okuma will read an address
to the emperor, then 1000 Japanese
notables will yell three 'banzais'' and
the coronation will be concluded.
The days following will be OBJ
served various ceremonies, such as
''the sacrifice OF the fruits of the
earth to the spirits of the departed"
This begins at nightfall and concludes
at dawn.
The bringing back of the Imperial
Shrine to Tokyo completes the coro-
nation
