October whoi open"!1 n shade down nt
7?i,"64c, with n line filmost nt the tnp of
the gons. This flight exhibition of easl
nesfi wan dye to better weather In the
north went. During the two pievlous ses
sions most of the week bulls hud been
forced out und the talent was In opposition
to buying. In thin they were encouraged
loy the strength developed by corn, com
parative steadiness at Liverpool und 'Indi
cations of diminishing receipts. Later In
the day weakness of the oeenn freight rates
and anticipation of export business cnuseil
still further ndvonce. October advanced
with few reactions to "Sc. On protlt-tuklni
the market reacted, but closed Ilrm, M'Mio
vcr yesterday nt TTITT'aC. I'rlmnry n-
fclpts were 1,i19.oo0 bushels, compared with

78,000 bushels In wheat nnd Hour. New
fork ronoited 20 lo.ids taken for export.
Corn was very Ilrm mid shorts for the
cri'scnt month's delivery were much dis
turbed by the difficulty of getting corn In
tho pit. September early Jumped oxeldcdlv
ml furnished tho most noteworthy Inci
dent of the day. The geuernl feeling was
that corn for delivery next month was
likely to be no more plentiful In October
than nt present, and Its prospective scarcity
was Indicated by the fact that shippers
are now nuvlnir for corn to be delivered by
October 10 a premium of l'4c In store over
the prlre of the regular October delivery
rientemlior corn opened nt 41 Vd l-!'o. Jumped
to 44'(,c and then reacted, closing lr higher

Tho boar party apparently made up their

I hero were many stop-loss orders and the
whs e market fell away with violence. The
leading stocks were n point or so below

stocks. The nervous condition of the bears
wus strikingly shown In the violent recov

liberal run
of cattle here for Wednesday, but the mar
ket as a whole was In good Htiape. Feeder
buyers huvo a good many cattle carried
over from yesterday und the day before,
but thuy took ho'd fairly well, particular!
of the best grades.
mere were about tlftoen cars or cornfed
cntle on sain nnd packers seemed to bo
looking for cupnlles. Tho light hnndv
weight cattle that suited the buyers
brought steady to strong prlcos, while the
less uoHiraoie grades wero ratner Slow anu
a shade lower. The fact that Chicago
came wealc to a dime lower had rather a
bud effect on the trade here, but the light
supply and good demand kept prices up In
good shape.
There were about thirty-five cars of cow
stuff on sale today und tho market ruled
fairly active nt nbnut steady prices. Homo
of the best grades sold n lltt!o stronger
than they did yesterday, but tho medium
kinds and canners brought Just about
steady prices.
nuns, cnives, etc., nrougut practically tno
same prices as they did yesterday, no par
ticular cnango ueing noticed.
Strictly cholco heavyweight feeders wern
rather scarce today nnd prices on that
clnss of stock wero fully steady. Thero
were, however, n good many medium and
common Kinds and tho mnrket on that
clnss of stuff was very slow, the same as
It has been, and Hellers wero calling it a
Utt'o lower today. The supply has been
liberal nil tho week and as n result yard
traders have 11 good many cattle on hand,
which naturally makes thorn very cautious
about buying these common cattle. Stock
cows nnd heifers were In good demand at
abcit steady prices with yesterday.
There were only n few cars of western
beef steers on sale, and, ns usual, they
brought good, strong prices. Cows sold
genernlly at nbotit steady prices, and in
some cases tlie best grades broUEht n llttlo
more. (Jood feeders hold about the same
as they did yesterday, while the common
kinds were slow sale, and a llttlo lower.

... -- tciy ion- mieep on
tho morning market today and most of
thoso that did arrive wero feeders. A few
killers changed hands at about steadv
prices, but the bulk of the recelpls did not
como until Just before noon. For thnt
reason It was lato beforo much of anything
was done. Tho sheep market, however,
could be quoted Just about steady, with
the demand In good shape. Thero wero very
few lambs of good quality here, but had
there, been any cholco ones on salo they
doubtless would havo brought good, strong
prices.
Feedors mado up tho bulk of the receipts
today, and ns tho demand was In good
shape prices held about steady.

FRUITLESS ttUK.ST FOR WEALTH.
Dentil In i Madhouse of One of the
Helm to jthe Dm Is Millions.
Tho announcement of the death of Ed
ward A, Davis In a hospital ward in Chi
cago recalls his fruitless quest (or soma
of tho Davis millions tied up for years In
the courts of Montana nnd frittered away
In court costs and lawyers' fees. Davis
wns a mental wreck long before death
ended his struggle. Years of battling for
the fortuuo that ho claimed had brought
him sleepless nights and wonry days until
his reason tottered and his wife and family
wero parted from him by a decreo of the
courts. Then came tho final brenklnc
down, and at Inst, without a friend to
soothe him In his dying momonts, he novo
up the struggle ns tho dawn of Sunday
wns breaking through tho hospital win
dows. Edward Davis wns ono of sovcral sons
of John A. Davis of Chicago. Tho latter
wns a brother of Judgo Andrew J. Davis
of Montana, whoso death In 1S90 precipi
tated ono of the most bitter legal con
tests for millions over fought In western
courts. The Judge had left nn ostuto
roughly estimated at tho time of his demise
to bo worth fully $15,000,000, but Inter was
found to be valued at nbout $3,000,000. John
A. Davis wns chosen administrator of tho
estate, nnd with his selection began the
days of suffering and tormont for Edward
Davis, his sou.
Tho heirs apparent at the tlmo of Davis'
death wore Erwln Davis of New York and
John A. Davis of Chicago, brothers; C. P.
Davis of California, also a brother; Miss
Dlnna Davis of Somers, Conn.; Mrs. Sarah
Cummlngs of Ware, Mass.; Mrs, Harriot
Woods of Springfield, Mass,, nnd Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Howen, sisters. In addition
to these thero were a number of nopliows
and nlecos of sisters who wero repre
sented by Henry A. Root of Now York.
During tho month following the death of
the tnulto-milllonnlro a number of sons
and daughters appeared. Tho first was
Thomas Jefferson Davis of an TJuron
county, Iown, who claimed th 'Into under
tho Iown laws, lie claimed Davis lived
with, his mother ns his wife before going
wost. Thero wero also a number of al
leged wives. Ono was n barmaid In a saloon
at East Snglnnw, Mich.; nunther lived In
Kewaunee, Wis.; another lived In Cali
fornia and was living at tho tlmo .with a
man named Johnson.
An action was hrought to break Inn will
and was sot for hearing February 2, 1891,
In the district court of Montana at Iluttn
City. Colonel Robert O. Ingersoll of New
York appeared as counsel for the Henry
A. Root contestants; D. II. Payne of Dlooni
fleld, la., Hon. J. M, Woolworth of Omahn,
ex-Senator Woolson of Mount Pleasant,
la.. W. W. Dixon of Helena, J. C. Klrk
patrlck of Rutto City, Wnrren Toolo of
Helena and F. W. Ulchelborger of Ilutto
City appeared for tho proponents.
Tho first move was on tho part of Henry
A. Root, who petitioned the supreme court
for a writ of prohibition on tho district
oourt of Silver Row county and a writ of
mandamus on Judgo J. McIIatton. It wns
alleged that tho Jury wnB Illegally drawn
and that both Jury nnd Judgo were preju
diced. Colonel Ingersoll argued tho points
and the court decided In favor of tho con
testants. Tho trial began before Judge McIIatton
and a Jury early In July, 1891, and closed
September 9, tho Jury falling to arree on
a verdict. Shortly after this trial John
A. Davis, administrator, was accidentally
killed at Victoria, II. C. Slnco his death
there has been another trial between his
heirs and thoso who wero contesting tho
will, which resulted In some kind of ti
compromise, tho particulars of which havo
never been made public.
Among the many contestants and would
be heirs who hnvo loomed up for awhllo
are two or three women, who have asserted
that A. 3. Davis was their husband, al
though ho waB never married,
Tho contest was ono of tho most stub
born nnd bitter contests on record; each
sldo presented an array of legal talent
soldom aqunled; vast sums of money woro
expended In tho light; weeks lengthened
Into months and months into years, but
no final decision was reuched and'no sottlo.
ment made. For a few years tho caso has
rested. At the present tlmo practically
nothing remains of the mlllons of A. J.
Davis. Edward Davis did not got a dol
lar, and tho dashing of his hopes lent
htm to a tnadlioiiflo.
