THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, THi: SPECULATIVE MARKETS. The Shorts Turn the Tables on the Longs. UNLOADING BY HEAVY HOLDERS. A Material Decline in Corn—Less Ace tivity in Oats—Fair Business in Provistons—Cattle Unsatisfacs tory—Hogs Brisk. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Cmicaco, Nov. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee]—Yesterday there was a small sized panic among the shorts and they cov- ercd regardless of price. To-day the boot was on the other foot. The longs indulged theémselves in the painful pleasure of a little panic and the price of wheat for May and December broke 4}¢c a bushel and the feel- ing in the pit was intensely bearisb. To hear the talk one would imagine that the wheat market was planted over a voleano that was liable at any mor k aut and let that on the bulge yesterday several stalwart bulls had taken in the profits on consideggblo lines of wheat, their names hav- inirboer Pven up by the brokers after trading hours. This served to make a we around $1.20%¢ for May, and $1.19§ for De- cember, The announcement that 200,000 bushels of wheat was being held in New Or- leaus to be shipped back to St. Louis in tain contingencies was sprung with some ef- fect by the bears, but by all means the most fmportant factor early was free selling for northwestern account. The changed atti- tude of some large operators in that section received wide advertisements. It served to precipitate a decline, and the weakness was further assisted by a rush on the part of local longs to sell out. A wild and woolly re- port the effect that Pittsburg had bought Hutchinson's interest in the market was also started in cicculation, but the sto found few believers, Later in the da : thing clse was dwarfed by reports that the biglocal longs were selling out on each othe "That was the crowning gossip of the day and caused @ genuine stampede. Hutchinson was credited with being a scller yesterday and to-duy early, but_ the latest_information cencerning his movement was that he was buying the market down on a scale. The be- liof that ho was doing this checked the do. bout noon and occasioned a rally of lc, but the market did not hold the recovery and the last of the scesion was decidedly the weakest season of the day. Speculative operations were on a large scale in the pit to-d and & large amount of business for outside ue was transacted. The break was ace panicd by greator exciten sensatio) stated, o) off to §1.20%, up to $1.203¢ 3¢c, down 10 §1.18%. up to$1.193 and st Uown to §1.1637. ~'The decline the last hour was precipitous and the way exceedingly “irocky.” The feeling at the close was very nervous and shaky ut practically the inside figure of the day. The last pricés wore 81 for December and $1.107¢ for May, The im- pression obtained a firm hold on the crowd toward the lust that notonly Hutchinson, but Bake on, Fairbank and the Jones” McCormick bull" contingent had been selling out for the t two or three days, and this morning the grand dump occurred. It was thought that towards the end Hutchinson tried to check the slump bt could not do it. Chicago is several cents nearer being *in line” with other murkets to-day than it was yesterduy, though other markets ulso settled back_sharply in sy potby with this market, - European advices ndicated @ continuance of the hardening tendency lutely observed in that quarter, but no inquiry for American grain can be re- ported yet. A local featureof some signifl- cance of late is the steady absorption of low grade wheat by partics who believe the dis- parity of prices between No. 3and No. 2 is too great and the two grades must work closer together, In somo cases the deal has taken the form of purchases of No. 3 and salos of No. “The general prevailing sentiment after the first hour strongly favored lower prices for corn, but the weakness was not very pro- nounced until about _thirty minutes from the close when, in sympathy with wheat, there was free selling_and a material decline from eurly figures.

Banking: Western fatm mort s are, in many sections of the country, more tspecially the New Eug- land states; a favorite investment for investors, Savings banks are probably securities, and for two fensons: First, they are suy posed to be absolutely safe—that is, the land upon which these mortgages are given is worth much more than the amount loaned. and, secondly, the rate of interest agreed to be paid being so much in excess of that in the eustern states it has enabled the banks inv ing in them to return a larger per cent to their depositors. While there is at present no reason to distrust the value of these securities or the sincerity of the parties offering or investing in them, it would seem, according to the annual re- ‘:vrln of the banking commissioners of New Hampshire and Vermont, that the amount of money deposited in the sav- ings banks in those states which isin- vested in western farm mortgages has assumed such proportions as not only to attract attention, but to raise the ques- tion as to the expediency of continuing the practice on the same scale. In both New Hampshire and Vermont a number of investment companies have been organized, the sole object of which is to encourage investment in western securities. These operate independ- ently of the savings banks, and the re- sult'is that a large portion of the sur- plus money of New England is to-day represented by mortgages on tern farms. Of course as long as business is good and the farmer is prosperous and the interest is promptly paid, all will be well. But should a season of adversity come with interest and principal both falling due, there would be only one al- ternative, and that, to take the land. The commissioners openly state that of “‘no considerable extent eastern capital is used to boom western localities, and money is not loaned on the intrinsic value of the property, but on its pro- spective increase.” It is easy to under- stand what the result would be should such & contingency ever ari As showing the confidence in such invest- ments the commissioners give figures proving that not far from 40 per cent of the whole amount deposited Iu the sav- ings banks of their ive states has been loaned in ern stat How much is represented by the vari ous loan and investment companies can not be definitely stated, for the reason they are not under state supervision. ——— Jarvis’ "77 will cure your cold. ——— Unmasking a Great Fraud. Chicago Tribune: The $27.000 bet on Cleveland offered by Dr. Her- bert Claflin, of Marshaltown, Ia., and published broadcast as a dem- ocratic boom, suffered a severe prolap- sus when H. C. Young and S.C. Mc- Farland, taking a witness with them, laid down #1,000 forfeit and invited the valiant doctor to do the sume, giving him his own time to perfect the other details. Claflin backed completely down, and the men told him he was a fraud of the first water. Later, Elias Lee, a well-known business man, called on Ciaflin and told him he had instruc- tions from a Chicago acquaintance to tuke the bet and post a forfeit. To him Claflin acknowledged that his offer was a fraud and tried to laugh the subject off. Acceptances are pouring in from veliable sall over the country by every mail, creating great amusement. Claflin is a brother of Victoria Wood- hull. Bl 2 Six gold medalsawarded Jarvis’ Brandy Teeth a Test of Character. “The shape and placing of the teeth,” says the Manchester Guardian, ‘‘are not without signficance in the charac- ter given by the mouth., When the up- per gums show above the teeth directly the lips are opened, it is the sign of a cold and phlematic nature. Short, small teeth are held by the phsiog- nomist to denote weakness umi shory life, while rather long teeth, if evenly set in the head, denote long life. The more the teeth,in point, size, shape and arrangement, approach to those of carnivorous animals, the more violent are the animal instincts in the person, while the more human teeth in shape and position approach to those of the graminiverous animals, the more placid is the character. ‘White, medium-sized d evenly-set tecth, which are seen as soon as the mouth is open, but which are entirely exposed--- that is, which donot at any time show the gums---are a sign of good and hon- est natures. Projecting teeth show ra- pacity, small, refreating teeth, which ave rarely seen unless in laughter, show wenkness and want of physical and moral courage. The lower' teeth pro- jecting and_closing over the upper range are indicative of a harsh nature.” siadeh il o A Babe in the House isa source of much sunshine and joy, brightening many a dark cloud and lightening many a heavy load—but joys continual abice only in a healthy body. The Creator with great wisdom has dis tributed over the earth vegetable reme- dies for every ill of human kind. his marvelous laboratory reveals its secrets to man only by long and searching labor. Few men have attained greater success than Dr. R. V. Pierce; nor devised for suffering humanity a greater production than his “Golden Medical Discov the unfailing remedy for consumption in its early stages, as well as for chronic nasal catarrh, scrofula, tumors and all blood disorders. flllAl;'Cll OFFICE.
