THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS Little Activity in Wheat But a 8trong Feel- ing Prevailed.

The early cables to the board from Liverpeol quoted that marset higher, but private di patches sald thatit was weak. There was however, rather u good local buying, and offerings were more generous than yesterdny. Offerinzs wore vory roadily sbsoroed, and the fteeling for a time was quite strong and higher prices ruled. Somo of the bull news which cimeiny med to be having more effect than it did then. E: 1y was this the ease with Beerbohm's statement that the wheat and flour shipments to Europe for the past eloven weeks were nearly 117,000,000 bu., the lowest estimate requirements for thesame time. This led to tho reflection that it would not take long at that rate to exhaust all the surplus and bring Europe into the mar- ket ns an nctive buyer. In addition to this was the summary of crop conditions abroad sentout by high English authority showing thitt a poor outlook wis the ruie, with favori- blo reports the exception, There was the re. purulvs active Inquiry for L wheat, the Rlendy decrense in the visibie supply, the moderate recelpts at primars points and the reports of acoming co'd wave. 11 of these combined to make tho market rather nervous. and shorts were generally disposed te Lozan, Kennoett-lHopkins and Ml 0 bousht some wheat early, but on the hard spots Schwartz-Dupre and” Pardridge had plenty for sule. At one time there was u cons bulge when rivate cables quoted higher, with Beriin also advancing. 1t was * also helped some by a dispateh from Washing- ton saying thut the senate committee would probably roport aguinst the anti-option bill. Luter, however, trade became dull. Oabies were less ussuring und the selling more Hberal and prices fell off lc from the top figures In the afternoon, lowever. the market strengthened materially but this was mot by heuvy selling and_ the “price dropped wzain. © was somo talk about Franco extending the period of reduced duty on wheat beeiuse of the unfavorable outiook of the crop nnd his had u strengthening cffect during u pirt of the session. While Pardridge sold freely on the rally he covered his 1ues on tho breaks. Muy wheat opened unchanged at o wavanced to 934, reacted to 623¢, advanced toWie, broke to (23ge, rallied to %3e, dropped 20 02%¢ and closed steady at 12%c. Corn was stronger and morg active in the early trading, onc hovse taking 250,000 bu. The'strength wus duo to poor grading. an ac- tive shipping demand, firm ~cables, damp weather, tending to lower the grading and re- ports thut forelzners wore buying freely at the sonboard. These things lod to coyering Dby shorts und an advance.

This, together with the eurly strenzth In graln, caused pork to open hicher, but Juter when grain wenkoned and a further de- cline in cotton was reported, showing dimin- 1shed hog products from the south, the price broke und the murket closed lower, May pork after selling at from F11K0 to #1185 uround tho ypening went to $11.47% and o'osed at #1, against #1175 nt the finish yesterduy. {ost he und ribs Tise.

Onmana. b. 24.—To the Editor of Tan Bel The article in your paper today entitled, “A Brutal Father,” is altogether a malicious persecution by irresponsible par- ties, one of whom was living in & house of mine aud the other party rented the flat above tue store, and I had trouble with each one—the one I refused further credit, the other I demanded an 1crease of rent from, although the premises they cccupied were worth far more than [ asked. It is merely a way of injuring me. If I crealed a dis- turbance of the peace, as thuy ullege, by slightly correcting my own ebild, why do wait over two months before they muke any accusution! The report in Tue Beg states she works too hard in the Louse. The World-iHerald has it she does manual labor in tnostore. 1 wish to set mysclf iu the proper lignt before the public, and the girt can tell her own story. 1 bave a oy that works for me at anything and evervthing and wants me to et him a horse and wagon 1o get a little more work. Why am I not reating him wbumanly ¢ We have a good home und we are not lack- ing for the comforts of life. 1 am respousi- ble and my accusers are not. It is all spite, with 1he idea that they can injure me. Cer- tainly we all have to work.

Hempleman refers with pride to his record in Columbus, Neb.

He1s wanted in Cincinoati and other cities for & series of the cleverest forgeries known to the police. Hunt is about 50 years of age, with the ap- pearance of an irteresting invand, has a gray and sandy mixed beard and hair, has a sallow complexion and is about five feet eight nches in height. His modus operandi is to purchase a draft for a small awmount, requesting the cashier to identify his sig- paturo vn the back. He then fills the punched holes with ‘pulp so cleverly that only with the aid of & microscope can the change be detected. With & suitable apparatus the draft may then be punched to any amount desired, e Fought for the Kindling, Constabie Jacobs sent down to the police station a detachment of four at noon yester- day. They were Mr, and Mrs Holstein, whose place of business is on I'ifteentn street, be- tween Faroam and Hurney, A. logan and Sam Johnson. The dificulty was all over a bundle of kindling wood, und befere ivwas settled Mrs, Holstein bad her scalp laid open, and the others were vaviously battered and bruised. Postponed the Contest, The regular monthly coutest that was to have taken place atthe Young Men's Chris- tian association gymnasium lust evening was gostponed because of the unavoidable ab- sence of several of the amateur athlotes who were to have participated, An cxbibition of skill, agility and muscle was viven by sey- cral of the members for tho edification of the spoctators present. ‘The regular contest will tako place next week o~ Too Handy With u Pop.
