CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—Wheat made several labored efforts at higher prices today, but the expectation of a bearish government re- port disccuraged buyers, and December closed e lower. May corn lost e, May oats closed unchanged, and provisions fin- tshed at declines. Wheat was only moderately active, and averaged about e lower than it closed yesterday. portance in the way of news; cables were reported somewhat higher, but in spite of that the feeling here was weaker. The northwest deliveries were again heavy, and there was liberal sclling for the future by northwestern operators against these heavy deliveries, which have to be taken care of. There was also a good deal of short sell- ing by the local bear talent, Rosencranz and ardridge being prominent In this on about every advance the market made. The ation of a bearish government report a prominent factor. At one time the fully elow the close last night, but when the liberal exports from the #geaboard becan known there was a gradual recovery , but most of this was soon lost.

A report received dur- ing the t_hour that thirty boatloads of wheat had been taken for ‘export started prices up, and December wheat went quickly to from €0%c to 607%c, eplit, but weakened about as rapidly to-6le, Where it closed, Corn was quiet and nearly featureless; the weak feeling in wheat, the liberal re: ceipts and the big estimates, with the ex- pectation of a bearish corn crop report this afternoon, made the feeling weak.

There was not much doing during the last hour, May closing at 204c. Big hog receipts, lower prices at the yards and the weakness in grain were too heavy a load for the provision market again today and prices made further declines.

There wera less people in the rink opera house a: the speaking than at the late repubiican county convention. The barbecue was slimly attended. Although the democratic judicial conven- tion held at this place today was ostensibly called in the interest of the populist can- didate for the judgeship, the delegates failed to do what had been expected of them. The convention after a short session adjourned without making any nominations, or even recommendation much to the chagrin of some of the democratic-pops present.

RNICHTS TRYING SHARFFER Alleged Shortage of the Ex-Recorder Reduced by Tnvestigation, BOTH SIDES CONTESTING EVERY POINT Parade in the Afternoan the Feature of the Day's Exercisss of the Grand Lodge Se on at Grand Ixland. GRAND ISLAND, Neb,, Oct. 10.—(Special.) ~The attention of the delegutes to the grand lodge, K:ights of Pythlas, was occupled al} of last night, that part of yesterday afternoon not taken up with sight-seeing and also a part of yesterday morning, by the investiga- tion of ex-Record Keeper Shacffer, and yet the matter is not near a solution this morn= ing. Bach side has its attorney and is pre- senting and pushing its case. The prosecu~ tion fs said to come mainly from the Omaha contingent. The latter, it would seem, Is making a strong fight, with Bechtel as a leader, as Shaeffer was compelled to return to Lincoln yesterday to bring back somo more of the books. The matter was again taken up at 9:30 this morning. At this hour the parade was to have taken place, but a disagreeable confusion ensued. The arrange- ments committee had engag:d the Pacific Hose Company band to appear at 9:30 a. m. The band met at this hour and just as it was about to leave its headquarters for the point at which the parade was f. it was noti- fled that the knights had tired of walting and having a lot of business on hand, had d. clared the parade -off. The trouble arose over the changing of the hour for the parade to 9 o'clock sharp, and no notice having been given the band. Later the committee of ar- rangements and the knights got together and declded to hold the parade at 1 p. m. PARADED IN THE AFTERNOON. The parade moved from the Palmer house, headed by the band. The Uniform Rank fol= lowed, and were in turn followed by Frank lodge delegates and members of subordinate lodges. At the close of the parade Chancellor Shuman called upon Past Chancellor Goss of Bellevue, the oldest in the state, for re- marks, Mr. Goss complimented the Uniform Rank for its appearance and participation in the parade, and members of the band for their excrllent music. Brigadier General Hotchkiss responded on behalf of the Uni- form Rank. Members of the grand lodge then went ta the hall to continue their work. The In- dividual drill of the Uniform Rank men took place in the street. There were three con- testanty, all from division No. 1 of Lincoln, They were Willlam Rhode, Sipe and A} Round. The second gentleman was the first to be ruled out. Rhode and Round continued, and many movements were made before either failed. It was clear, however, that Rhodo had the best of the contest, and it ended in his favor. A fine gold medal was awarded to Rhode by Brigadier General Decastro. Lincoln obtained the $50 cash prize for the largest represented company herc. — The Uniform Rank elected F. H. Decastro of Sidney as brigadier general. The Third regiment elected as major McLaughlin of Kearney. The Fourth regiment pro- moted Major Zingree to lieutenant colonel, postponed the election of majors, and left the same to battalion meetings. Tonight the grand Idoge is still battling with the Shaeffer matter. The investigation 1s said to have reduced the amount of the ale leged shortage. xete News otes. - EXETER, Neb., Oct. 10.—(Special)—G. B.
