BEAR LESSONS SOON DISREGARDED DifMculty in Buying Ca Alxo n Factor of I Corn Wasx iIn Dema Wheat Wans | portan Good CHICAGO, Bept. 17.—-8maller world's shiy fents and rumore of a heavy gold deposit by the bond syndicate sent wheat up agalo today, December closing '%e higher, Corn for May gained %c, and May oats ) Provisions made shight advances. Wheat, after selling off '%c in the early dealings, made a sharp rush upward and held much of the advance. The continued big deliveries In the northwest had a de- pressing effect early and there was a dis- position to let go of long stuff and short the market, but Liverpool cables were strong, domestic markets improved and St Leuls showed especial strength. New York was a good buyer and the world’s ship- ments last week were less than 6,000,000 bu.,, or 1,500,000 bu. below the estwnated weekly consumption. It was also reported that the bond syndicate was about to de- posit $10,600,000 to make good the gold re serve, and this had a tendency to create confidence and stimulate speculative buy ing, while the offerings gradually grew less and the competition among buyers sharper, the advance being the result. The difficult ex})vrh-n(-ml in buying cash wheat was also actor. It was sald that there was a very sharp demand for it, but buyers could not et it, although they expressed their will- to pay December prices for choice With such an array of encouraging ng the trad soon forgot all the bear lessons It has learned for the past week and for a considerable time the bull fever was dominant and infected the whole crowd December sold at 67%c early, then began to improve and sold up with l‘ll}thl reactions to BoY eased off to 6% and at noon was Price changes dufing the last half hnlll‘ were not importapt and the feeling was weak. December sold to 68%c, closing at o8%c bid. Corn was In good demand for the near futures and prices had a marked advance. The damp weather was the most important element in the strength. May, from 287%c¢ to 2 at the start, rose to 20%c and closed at e, Outside of a good cash business there was little to report of oats. The market ruled firmer throughout owing to firmer cash prices. May opened at 20%c, sold at from 20%c to 20%c, and advanced 1o from 2lc to 21%e, and closed at 2lc bid. Tn provisions bulls shared in the general prosperity to a_trifling extent, although the liquidation of October coniracts was still a feature of the day's busin Rumors of the spread of hog cholera were Tife, but were generally considered exag- gerations. Easier prices ruled for a few minutes at the start, but soon gave way to more firmness and when corn became 0 distinctly firm the hog products followed guit. October pork closed 10c and January e higher for the day. January lard im- roved 2le, October ribs declined 2%c and anuary improved e.

The movement of prices was also considerably less erratic, but the deal- ings relatively as well distributed as on Monday. While the fonal traders were responsitle for most of the fluctuations amouat of actual buying was noted ers in activity were St. Paul, Chicago Sugar, Durlington, Rock Isiand and Coal. Opening prices were favorably by general fractional advances in the prices of the international shares. The ment of activity was due to the comparative absence of disquieting reports and rumors, and to the moderate engagements of gold for eXport. The withdrawals from the subtreasury for this purpose were about balanced by the amount of deposits by acattered banks. The currency tians- fers for shipment to (he interfor exceeded $100,- 000 Tnfluences bearing to n certaln extent upon the trading included o decline in sterling ex- change rates and a drop of about 1 per cent fie rates for ns from the highest London prices of forelgn and ted, an A to the improv videnced by the at tide water, following the made 1 "Riladelphia _com- of stock prices by a drive receding % of the trade, anthracite p recent adyan pant.

Y raskn Cit Indignant Over a Recently Discovered Cawe. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb, Sept. 17.— (Special.)—A case of extreme cruelty to a child hits just been reported In this city and has aroused great indignation. As yet noth- ing has been done to punish the parents who are said to be guilty. The family live in the west part of the city and have a boy who is of unsound mind and frequently runs away from home. Neighbors say that for this offense he is punished by his parents with terrible beatings. Some of the neigh- bors have at last warned the father that this must stop. It is said the whippings have been so severe that the child's cries could be heard for blocks. It is likely steps will be taken to place the child in some institution where he will receive kind treat- ment. July 4, during a row in the saloon of George Gunz, some one stepped behind the bar and made way with a box contalning $85.

He was bound over In the sum of $200 to appear Monday for a preliminary hearing. Not be- ing able to furnish bond he is in jail.

They were taken before Judge Aird and after a severs lecture released with a warning not to re- peat the offense.
