THE LECTURE ON ZINC

The lecture Of Prof. A. c. Terrill Of
the state university at the assembly
room of the Chamber Of Commerce,
last night, was Of untold benefit to
those who heard it, as he went into
detail regarding the many uses to
which zinc can be put. He had very
appreciateive audience, the majority
Of whom remained an hour after the
lecture closed to ask questions and
learn still more in regard to zinc.
The properties Of zinc, what can be
done with the metal, how it alloys
with other metals, and the. main uses
to which the metal can be put were
gone into at length, and in q very
practical way. The stereOpticOn was
used extensively at the outset and the
illustrations aided greatly.
The school of mines lectures, Ot
which this by Prof. Terrill was one
are proving very interesting and in
strnctive, and gradually the crowds
are increasing.

DAILY MARKETS
Furnished by The Trans Mississippi
Grain Company, H. H. Audley.
Manager. Phone $40.

Chicago, Sept. S.-The corn market
has been strong at times under short
coverings in anticipation Of the gov
eminent report, which was issued just
after the close. There was early weak
ness and considerable local short sell
ing due to the sharply lower prices for
provisions. The days news was I'M
important. Cash markets were half to
1 cent lower. The government report
received bearish construction as it
forecasted crop Of 2,S5S, 100000 bu-
shells, or 7O,OOO,OOO bushels more than
last month. This forecast is consider
ably in excess of Mr. Shows figures.
The buying power in corn is badly de-
mQralized and tOdays strength has
been on short covering only. Lower
prices appear inevitable, particularly
in view of the government figures.
There was much short covering and
considerable buying in oats by the To-
cal bull element. Domestic cash de-
mand was better and sales of 10000
were reported. Country advices indi-
cate that present movement is at the
expense of country elevator stocks.
Farmers are not selling their oats. The
government report was regarded as
slightly bullish. Local cash prices were
steady. While the oats market is in
stronger position than corn, it will
require revival in cash demand to
hold advances.
Provisions were weak and lower un-
der rather moderate offerings which
met with an unusually slow demand.
Disappointment in the cash demand.
both domestic and foreign, a further
reduction in cash prices and indications
of an expanding hog movement in the
near future were the dominating fac
tors.
