FIRST CAR LOAD
OF WHEAT HERE.
SHIPPED BY WILLIAM p. RIDLEY
TO COLUMBIA MILL &
ELEVATOR co.

Columbia Mill & Elevator Company
this morning received the first car
load of new wheat 1t was shipped
from Ashwood by William P. Ridley, of
Clifton Place, one of the largest farm
ers in Maury county. 1t graded strict
ly No. 2yand was one of the best sam
pies ever brought to the mill. There
was 1000 bushels in the car. Mr..
Ridley has not yet finished threshing
and does not know the average yield
of wheat for his entire farm, but the
field upon which this wheat was grown
averaged yield of twenty bushels to
the acre. Other fields will yield less
and some more, but it is probable that
the yield for the whole farm will be
not very far from twenty bushels to
the acre. This is the lowest average
that Mr.. Ridley has made in several
years as he is one of the best wheat
growers of the county and his yields
are uniformly higher than the average
for the county.

The members of the prospective To-
cal military company met at the Court
House last night at s o'clock and sew
eral stirring and inspiring speeches
were made by w. ]. Webster, o. C.
Hulvey and Austin Cabler.
Captain Cabler is very much disap-
pointed in the interest manifested by
the young men of the city and espe-
cially those who offered their services
and right at the time they were to
have been mustered out, withdrew
their names from the list Nine young
fellows from the country came forward
and enlisted their names last night

Cabler, Douglass Hall and John F1em.
ing are earnestly striving and exerting
every influence to secure men who are
patriotic enough to offer their SER
vices for the defense of this great
nation, and be ready when called upon,
to move.
Col. o. G. Hulvey made an appeal to
the young men Of the city and county
and told of the slim chances this com.
pany would have in crossing the Dor.
der and participating at the battle
front These statements were backed
by statistical reports of other wars
that the United States had engaged in
w. ]. Webster appealed to the inner
most patriotism of everyone present
He intimated that every youth and
man who holds sacred the love oil
country and revels in the pride of the
American people, should feel it their
duty to offer their services for the de-
tense of this sublime love and pride.
Austin Cabler said that 1t was an
honor conferred upon Columbia and
Maury county to hold the vacant place
in the first regiment open for her pa
triotic volunteers and stated his dis
appointment In the insincerity shown
by those who had withdrawn from the
ranks.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Wheat rose eX- citedly today ' cents a bushel, but the greater part of the advance failed to hold. World shortage of supplies had been rendered more acute by increas- ing crop damage in Argentina. Euro peans however, progressively fought the bulls after the market had sur passed S1.S5, the high price record of the Joseph Letter corner in 1898. The close was weak at $1.S0 to $1.S0% De- cember and $1.S0is to $1.S0R May, with the market as a whole 5sc to 2c above yesterdays finish.
 Rapidly bulging prices and waves of buying, were the rule in the wheat pit during the first half of the day. Alarming reports were current that the Argentine damage from drought had assumed disastrous proportions. Yes terday's heavy export sales gave fur ther impetus to speculative buying, which proceeded unchecked until the advance amounted to almost l3 cents as compared with the lowest figures of yesterdays session. Then prices be- gan to break.
 Widening out of selling which ac;- companied the late setback in wheat was based to a considerable extent on opinions that the advance of late had been too rapid. In this connection, 1t was said, the British government pur- chasers had withdrawn from the mar ket and the foreigners were re-selling contracts both for immediate and fu- ture deliveries An additional bearish element at this juncture was sudden downturn in prices at Buenos Aires. Larger country offerings of corn made that cereal weak at the start and much more so at the finish. The close was at a decline of &c to 2Ac net. Oats we've relatively stronger than corn, finishing at only net loss of Ac. | Ac.
