CHICAGO GRAIN AMD PROVISIONS
Featares of the Trading: aad t'loalaa;
Prices on Board u( Trade.
CI IIC AGO, Oct. 24. Wet weather In the
Winter wheat belt had a depressing effect
today up the loo ill wheat market, but buy
ing by shorts caused a steady tone at the
vlo, final prices showing only slight
ciiunges from the previous close. Corn,
uata and provisions were firm.
The wheat market was an extremely nar
row affair, both In regard to the amount
of 4julnes transac ted and in the range of
prices: ' Throughout the entire day the price
of ull deliveries held within a half-cent
range. Although the market closed steady,
eentlment during the greutev part of the
Heasion was bearish, owing chiefly to the
weuther .conditions which prevailed In the
west ami southwest. The weather bureau
leported rain over the entire winter wheat
bell, and the predictions were for continued
wet weather In many sections. News rrom
AiK'ntlna also was more optimistic, several
dispatches claiming the damage to the new
riiju by rosts would bo only slight. Pros
peels of a further liberal increase In the
visible supply of wheat in the I'nlted States
aHHJanala for the. week furnished an ad
ditional motive to sellers. The principal
hulllMh influence or the day was a con
tinued excellent demand for flour at Minne
npolis, where MO.mio barrels, it waa claimed,
were sold yesterday. . Cash wheat here waa
steady at unchanged premiums a'nd no ex
port business was reported. The seaboard
ulso reported no salea for expwt. LUear
iiiirvs of wheat and flour were equal to
4i.'U bu. Primary receipts were l.loj.OUO
bu., compared with Nd.oou bu. the corre
sponding day a year ago. Minneapolis,
Luluth and Chlengo reported receipts of
7;u cars, against 773 cars last week and 617
cats a year ago.
Fears'lhut the movement of new corn to
market : would be hindered by the wet
weather, present and prospective, caused
many local traders to become quite active
buyers of corn during the first half of the
session, which resulted In moderate ad
vances, ljater In the day, however, sevwal
leading commission houses sold the May
delivery ' freely and this tended to weaken
the -market In general. The market was
influenced by the rush grain situation, new
i.urn being steady to 3o lower at the sample
tables. Tie market closed firm, with
Mlies a shade to Wu'tC higher, with De
cember at tkiV: and May at 6230. Local
receipts wore 18 cars, with 22 cars of con
tract era tie.
Tjuoii In oaia aas iruiet and the market
fas steady. The firmness of corn waa the
iihlef factor. Cash oats were steady and
cistern demand was said to be poor. The
market closed ste&oy, wiln p tcea linchinged
lb He hlgner, compacted with the previous
el.iae. Local receipts were 103 cars. ..
Provisions were rather weak early in the
U anion because of liberal receipts of live
hviiis at western packing centers, today's
us rivals being nearly double , those of the
igirrcspondtng day last Voar. After the first
lulling feature was over offerings dwindled
to small proportions and a .firmer tone de
veloped,., At the close pi-iocs were 8c to lAc
ldher.

PRICE MOVEMENT IS SLUGGISH
Protective Sapport la Perceptible for
Home of the More InSaeatlal
M.i tics Rond Market
Is Firm.
NKW YORK. Oct. 24. Interest In the au
tomobile race for the Vanderbllt cup was
responsible for a large reduction In the
lisusl number of brokers on the floor of the
Stock exehsnge today. The effe.-t on the
rate of activity which lias prevailed lately
wsa Illustrative of the professional char
acter of the market. The withdrawal of so
large, a number of the professional trailers
left little to the market. Accounts were
largely rliwil out yesterday afternoon pre
liminary to the departure for the racing
grounds. Some repressive influence is at
tributed to the furious activity in the politi
cal campaign which la lo-ikeii for next week.
i no price movement today was sluggish
and hesitating In agreement with the small
Interest In the market. Protective support
was perceptible, for some of tli" influential
slocks, as Southern Pacific. The railroad
equipment Blocks were firm in reeonse
io the reports of Increasing disposition to
place orders for equipment bv the railroads.
That group van favorably affected by the
further decrease of 1S.75H In the number
tit Idle freight cars reported bv the Ameri
can Car association for the two weeks end
ing October u4. bringing the surplus down
lo 115,036. The report gains additional force
from the fact that a large decrease has
occurred also In the number of "bad order''
cars by taking thein from the repair shops
and putting them back to service. The
flrat stages of the reduction of surplus
cars was accompanied by increases In "bad
order" cars, showing that surplus rars were
being drawn on simply to defer repairs on
cars In use. The present condition places
beyond dispute the improvement which is
occurring in the amount of railroad traffic.
The cash gain shown bv the bank state
ment in the averages was compensatory
for tho under statement of that Item in last
week's statement. The nominal cash in
crease of the actual condition was the ac
curate reflection of the known movements
of money. The taking over of loans bv the
trust companies from the banks is u'hown
by the decrease of S3.Nni.5ftO In the actual
loan Item of the clearing house banks ajid
in me oeerease or xft,O74,O0O in the loans of

CATTLE As usual on a Saturday
was no business of any consequence
In the yards, mere being very few
raill.
in sight, In fact, not enough to attract me
attention of buyers or make a maiket. Re
ceipts tor tho week have been quite liberal,
showing il considerable gain over the pre
vious week, although being a illtlo short of
the record for two weeks ago and for a
year ago. Other market points have been
well supplied throughout tne week and the
total number of cuttlo on sale at leading
markets has been so large us to bring abol.1
a general reuuiiiuu In values.
Die market beKiin breuklng the first of
the week and while some Gays have shown
comparatively liltio change the general ten
dency lias been lower imoughout the whole
week. Thursday the trade was in an es
pecially bad condition, values not only be
ing decideuly lower, but the trade ex
tremely dull at the decline. Choice range
steers, of which very few are coming, as
a matter of course? did not show so much
change, but the general run of fair to
pretty good killers are all of 26c lower
than last week, and it would be an easy
matter to point out sales showing eveu
mure loss tnan that.
Cows and heifers broke down in about
the same degree as beef steers, being gen
erally 25c lower for the week, some kinds
showing more loss than that and possibly
some not so much,
Tho market on stockers and feeders
started out at the beginning of the week
in very good shape, that is .speculators
were tree buyers, especially ot tne good
kinus. . Later on as the country did not
buy as freely as anticipated and 88 cattle
began accumulating in the hands of specu
lators, the market broke rapidly, declining
fully as much as beef steeis. Thursday's
maiket was abcut the worst that has been
experienced at this point In a long time.
Caitlu In some extreme cases actually sold
50c lower man i lie speculators paid for
them the first -of the week, and. It .was
hard to move them eveu at that. No one
will dispute that the geaeral market In all
of 26c lower than last week, with some
kinds even showing more loss than that.

HOGS The run of hogs waei especially
light, even for a Saturday, only twenty
four cars being reported In. The general
market did not show any very great change
as compared with yesterday, opening bids
were steady and a good proportion of I lie
hogs sold In about the same notches as
yesterday. Lute arrivals oia not sen quite
so well, as prices were lower. However,
with a limited numlier oirsale. thu general
trade closed up faiNy well as compared
Willi yeslerd'.ty,
'Receipts lor the woek were also smaller
than they have been In some time and foot
up only 19,42t head, as against 35, Ii25 head
for last week and 25,919 head for the cor
responding week of last year. The market
during the week has fluctuated rapidly, the
trade on Monday showing a big drop In
prices, but since that day values Improved
every day, when practically the enllee loss
of trie early part of the week was regained,
leavng prices about in last Saturday s
notches.

bltt-r.c U was practically a holiday in
the big aiiLi'P burn, mere not being enough
doing io be of lnteicst. r'or the week toe
receipts have In en very liberal, allowing
a decided gain over last week and wet k
before, but a falling oil as compared Willi
three and four weeks ago. Receipts have
also been running a lit lie aiieau of last
year.
A considerable proportion of the arrivals
consisted or leem r lambs, Willi a good
sprinkling of teener sueep. in consequence
of tlio large uKciings and Ihe active de
mand, the most ot t lie IntetcNl centered
in Unit branch of the trade. Tlirougnoul
tne whole week the movement on ail de
sirable kinds of teeders was a .Ivo ami
prices were generally steauy wilh laat wceu..
It was, In fact, a vety satisfactory mar
ket t iirougnuiii as viewed iroiu a .sellers
standpoint.
lat lambs were not such good selloig.
As a matter of fact, I lie maikeia every

week, Inn as it . nappeneu. mere were no

tune io really show Hie extent of the break
ThiiK, while l;:mbs tins Week have sold
around 25c lower and are still 15"iic lower
than 'ilttirsday of last week, the most of
tlie loss really occurred as noted above at
the close of last weak.
On account of the very weak condition of
the eastern mutton market, fal sheep have
been working downward quiln rapidly this
week at all points Locally there has tieen
a decline of around 4"tii)c since last week's
close, but in spue or mat fact, prices
nave peen strong as compared witn mar
kets east of here, so that packers have
complained that their mutton lias been
coaling them more than It ought In al
Omaha. Eat ewes have suffered even mora
loss than wethers ana yearlings.

SENATORIAL CFFICE FLATS
Snell Quarters Pro Ideil for Members
of the I pper House at
Washington,
Tlie senatorial office building, a dupli
cate of thut built for members) of tho
house of representatives. Is Hearing com
pletion li 'Yashlngtoii. It will cost
34.000,01)0.. While it is the expectation, of
Superintendent Elliott Woods that the
new building will be at least as far along
toward completion by December I as tlie
house office building was on the corre
sponding date last year, It need not be
expected, that there will he any exodus
to It from the cnpltol. There will be
enough rooms and to spate In stlic new
building for all thu senators when they
choose to make use of them, and it will
be possible lo assign duplicate quarters,
if desired, for senators who prefer to
retain their old oTflces Indefinitely, but
who rpay wish to have their permanent
offices In the new building assigned to
them, at once. Thus they ran use either
office, as they may find It convenient to
do so. During sessions they are likely
to prefer using the rooms in the capltol,
as there will be less troublo In doing so,
and when there Is a roll call they will
not have far to go to get bock to the
chamber' to vote. This plan Is llftely to
simplify matters very much, and in time
there will be many voluntary relinquish
ments of the old quarters, which then can
lie devoted to other uses as they may
betjomo' apparent: or necessary.
Some of the space In the new building
Is likely to be required for various com
missions now housed elsewhere, some
times rather Inadequately. The immigra
tion commission, for instance, is now lo
cated in the house office building, but it
Is likely to be assigned rooms In tlie sen
ate building, and as its work may re
quire Jt to continue in existence for sev
eral years it will be given every facility
for the transaction of Its business. Then
there Is the monetary commission. It
will reaire offices. Some of the commis
sions 'not composed of members of con
gress may also be given office room there
if the senate sees fit to provide for them
in that way.
There Is no lack of room. ' In fact, pro
vision has been made for needs thai may
ariRe for years In the future. There is a
whole floor on the Delaware avenue and
C street frontage, with fourteen suites' of
rooms, which will not be fitted up at
all this year. As these are needed they
can be made ready for occupancy with
little trouble or delay.'
In the general appearance the new
office building suggests, as to- the
wings, the facade of the Louvre In Paris
and the long colonade was modeled on
the general lines of the colonnade on the
Place de la Concorde, but the architect
made a free adaptation, using Roman
doric columns In pairs Instead ot the sin
gle Corinthian columns as seen in the
original. Decorative effects have been
used 'sparingly and with excellent effect,
there being nothing to detract from the
dignified lines of the perspective.
Tlie rooms assigned for the use of the
senators and their secretaries will have
an elegant, but subdued effect, and . will
be much like the business offices provided
by large corporations for. the.ir officials.
All the rooms will be furnished in ma
hogany, toned with acids to give the
tricloer effects which can otherwise bo
gained only by the mellowing influences
of time. The doors and trimmings will be
Honduras mahogany, stained to a rich
brown, while the furniture will be of
African mahogany, naturally a darker
wood, stained to a warm, soft red. All
of this furniture was especially designed,
being heavy, simple and dignified Ini ap
pesrance, with little carving. Each room
will have a marble mantel, above which
will be a large mirror In a heavy gold
frame.. On the mantel will be a pair of
electric candlesticks, which, like the central-electrolier
and the six brackets or
wall lights, will be of special designs in
old silver. The hardware for the doors
and furniture will be of yellowish bronze.
The tile borders around the rooms will
be about three feet In width, of white, with
strips or. tho edges of alternate white
and veined marble, the center being of
white cement, which will be covered by
big wllton rugs. There will be a plaster
cornice In each room, and a plaster cen
terpiece in the celling. The walls will be
left dead white, and each senator will be
able to suggest the particular scheme of
wall decoratlun which will meet his fancy.
Much careful considerate n has been givci
to all of these details, as well as to the,
kind of rugs to be used, which will be
woven In three or four designs in
Worcester, Mass. The electric wiring Ir
elaborate and carefully thought out. Tlie
desk may be placed either in tho center of
I tie room or by the w indow, wires being
placed in the floor at both places for desk
telephone, buzzer, electric fan and desk
light. The telephone can alao be placed nt
any one of several places on the walls.
The rooms for tho secretaries are smaller
and plainer, but the general scheme of
finish and furniture will be similar- to
lhat in Ihe senators' offices.
As for tlie progress of tlie work. It Is
now about finished as far as the public can
observe.. Tlie interior finish is rapidly near-
ItiK compleilun. Perhaps three-fourths of
tho plastering Is done and nearly all of
the woodwork trimming Is in storage await
ing the call of the carpenters. Tlie tile
setters have begun work laying the marble
tiling on the corridor floors and the marble
border In the rooms. In the handsome
rotunda the marble work Is almost finished,
and work has begun, or it will begin In a
few days at most, on the roof covering the '
rotunda. The corner slips, broad, dignified,
and with low risers, will be done by De
cember. There Is much activity around the
building, ii'id tlie work Is making satis
factory headway.
Perhaps It is hardly necessary to say that
the new building will have practically every
convenience which Is known to architectural
skilt. There will be fast-running elevators
of the best type, a restaurant and kitchen,
barber shop and baths, large committee and
audience rooms.' But there will njt be the
refined luxuries which some writers have

pied the royal box at the Lyceum 'and
when the news got back on tlie stnge'lhere

It was Miss Terry who went to Sir Henry
With the news that the great Nanseii was

"Finally, toward the end of the per

presence and he had begun to get heartily
tired of hearing all the attention glVeh to
the explorer, one of the women supers,

"'Oh, Sir Henry," she said, "have ydn

"Bryan has a natty way of avoiding
awkward political questions that I liavo
often envied,", recently remarked a poli
tician, "but downtown at a rally the other
evening the speaker following me went
Bryan one better. As usual at the end of
his speech, he announced that.he .would.be
glad to answer any questions of a political
nature of Interest to the audience. Fur
some tlmo he tried to 'dodge' a prim, middle-aged
woman, who looked as though
she might be a prohibitionist. After vainly
trying to attract his attention, she calkd
out In a harsh voice:
"Mr. Speaker, honestly now, don't you
think that plenty of water Is beneficial to

"Well er ahem. Not always, ' madam.
In fact, a friend of mine was seriously In
jured by It."
"Indeed! How so?"
