New York, Mar. II. P-Alfred Aloysius Smith, modern Rip Van Wrinkle, is determined to provo to the land that lined his pockets with gold that he is neither a myth nor a liar.
 When Rip came down from the Catskills his rough beard tumbling towards his knees and his clothes in tatters, they scoffed at his tales And when Trader Horn as he has become known from Sea to sea, came peddling his gridirons at the doorsteps of a. Johannesburg. South Africa, cottage. his yarns Of advon- lures met upon the African west coast seemed quite as incredible as Rips.
 Like Rip he had been gwen up as dead. Like Rip he had loved hls taverns, his conviyial companions. and his irresponsibilities. Like Rip he had come out with q scraggly beard and a tattered garb.
 Like Rip, so many strange things had befallen him that his fading memory clutched feebly first at one memory and then another, piccing together finally as fantastic a s2 ga as eyer was penned.. And America read most avidly of all.
 s4,OOO a Week Royalties
 So the pnddler of gridirons, who once in the jungle had seen q white goddess auburn was her hair dark auburn" suddenly found himself with s4,000 week in book royalties jingling in his pocket. And although his health is totterne and his strength is giving way, lie is headed toward America.
 II will not be his first visit 10 these shores. He saw much oi Amer ica in his younger years. In his book there is the ironlc comment ary: Yea, Americans are a moral people. except when'it comes 10 murder. They must have nov cities, whether in new breakfast foods or literary matters"
 This modern Rip will find walt ing for him an elaborate hotel suite. The literati of the land will welcome him and he will be feaSted lionized and toasted. Cameras will click him and the radio will bid for his voice. He was prepared for all this as he sailed. Trader Horn purchased q new black hat in London and one of those very English capcs. He had his beard trimmed and his shoes shincd.
 1T there is anyone here to question Lis voracity. he will bare his chest and shoulders 0 show the world the sears of a lions claws and the long wound of an African 'assegai.' Ii strength permits him he will lecture on the days when ho became blood brother 10 the cannibals.' and of tho

CHICAGO, October 9-Fluctuating
rapidly, wheat prices here averaged
lower today in the early dealings The
chief bearish influence was the fact
that the Liverpool wheat market proved
relatively unresponsive to Saturdays S

Opening unchanged to 1c lower,
Chicago wheat afterward scored mod
crate gains, but then reacted all around
Corn, oats and provisions showed firm
ness, with corn starting at 1s to 1c
advance and subsequently holding near
to initial figures.
In addition to comparative weakness
Of the Liverpool wheat market. much
talk was current here today that sales
of wheat on rallies would be wiser than
new buying after a 7-cent upturn. Lack
of any further drought reports from
Argentina counted also in favor of the
selling side of the market On the con-
trary. BuenoS Aries cables said there
had been good rains in South Argen-
tina since yesterday.
Substantial enlargement OF the
amount of wheat on ocean passage
tended also today to handicap buyers
of wheat. The aggregate of wheat af1oat
was reported as 100000 bushels,
against 4l,416,000 bushels a week ago
On the other hand the United States

that it is possible per cent of the total

NEW YORK, october 29.-The
cotton market opened steady at an ad-

relatively steady Liverpool cables and
prospects for rains with lower temper
atures in the South. Buying was stim-
ulated by the forecast for probably
freezing weather in Oklahoma and the
Texas Panhandle and active months
soon showed net gains of n to 80
points, with December selling up to
1858 and May to 1880. There was
enough realizing and Southern selling
TO check the advance at these figures,
but prices were within 4 or points of
the best at the end of the first half
hour. Private cables said that Liver
pool had advanced on continental buy
ing with trade calling and covering on
the forecast for frost in the South and
that the demand for cotton cloth and
yarn was we'll sustained
The more aggressive buying stimu-
lated by the unfavorable weather out
look was supplied on the early advance
and trading became less active, with
prices sagging off 8 or 10 points from
the best under realizing and Southern
selling. Offerings were comparatively
light however, and sufficiently we'll
taken by covering or rebuying to main
tain a generally steady undertope.
Prices at midday were still 10 to %

arouse much enthusiasm over high

better than the circumstances Sug-
sested. Some of them touched prices
that have not been quoted since last
Spring. Their market was a limited
one.
The activity today was mainly in
speculative or Semi-Speculative issues.
Following the general decline that took
place last week in most of the promi-
nent convertibleS, there was rally
today of substantial size. In Anaconda
Copper it amounted to over 2 points
and placed this bond at las. Barns

gain of nearly Az points, but lost some
of this later in the day. Liquid Car
