During the first hours there appeared to |e any amount of wheat for sale, causing i decline of lo from last night’s close. The eport ef good cash sales, with very large (xports, brought In sufficient buying to illy the market 14c. Then followed anther spasm of weakness, carrying prices >Wn to that of the early break rfiortly sfore the close. This was followed by 14c tnprovement, closing with V4c net loss for be day. There appears to be great faith n the future of wheat, but fear of flnantt&l complications causes weakness. The growing confidence of a huge com (Top. secured beyond peradvcsnture, made « very weak feeling. There was a decline If %c from tbw close yesterday, causing September to sell at the unprecedented »rlc* of 21c. The redeeming feature In Joro was the export of 757,000 bushels, iside from which the market afforded no encouragement. Oats were weaker, principally because ►veryfiring else seemed of little value. Provisions were agam lower, the deprestion being mainly In September' pork, mere was a little firmness at the close.

This is condition of affair* encouraging to the ange men, not only on account of the Bmporery increase In demand for their fittle, but whaA Is of seeming greater imOrtance because of the effect It will have a future seasons.

Results obtlned by experienced feeders have been Imh, except in isolated eases, as to cause 1 decided leaning toward Western feeding little.

Special to The Indianapolis News.

Hammond, Ind., August 26.—There ha$ been much said in dispatches eent out from Chicago during the past few days about the establishment of a new oil refinery by the Cudahy Brothers as a rival of the Standard Oil Company, but in none

I’e. weather, j of those dispatches has the exact location 111 I of the new plant been mentioned. That

the concern will be an addition to Lake county’s many industries has been known here for several weeks, and while the exact land upon which it will be built has been kept a secret by the persons interested, yet it is almost a certainty that It will be In this city or upon land lying

immediately east of the city limits.

Concerning the right-of-way, Arthur H. Griggs, representing the Cudahys, says: "The route in Lake county begin* about the center of the east county line and runs directly northwest until it reaches Griffith, where It turns and runs north to East Chicago. We have purchased some rights-of-way west and northwest of that city, but have not gone as far west as the State line, and from the talk I have had with my employers I do not think we

Immediately east of this city some ago, and about which there was so much secrecy maintained. The land belonged to George T. Cline, and comprised several hundred acre* lying between Latte Michigan and the Calumet river, and was deeded to a prominent Chicago lawyer fora consideration amoonting to about J2,100,000. It Is now thought by many that the new plant will be touflt on this land. If such should prove the ciae there can be no question a* to the proportions o< the .ndustry. With the kind costing J2.000.00). the right-of-way costing nearly 8100,000 and a pipe line costing half a mln'.on more, rt is hardly probable that the p4ant iteelf

will be any small Concern. The Standard OH Plant.

To be a rival of the Standard Oil Company means the output of a large sum of money. The old company has a plant at Whiting, within almost a stone’s throw of the rumored location of the new concern, which Is valued at J35,000,000, and Is the biggest Industry In Indiana, If not In the West. Here is the largest oil refinery In the world, furnishing employment to 3,000 men, running a special line of steamers on the chain of great lak^s, owning and operating a belt railroad, the Cahimet terminal, which connects with every trunk line entering Chicago, and having It* own double pipe-line from the Ohio and Indiana oil fields. If any company expects to compete with this great conoern It must Indeed be a great concern of Itself, and have almost an unlimited supply of money. 1£ such a concern locates In Lake county it will be doubly* welcomed, as It will not only mean work for all of the cltlsens who for two years have been Idle on account of the hard times, but it will furnish grounds for a boom in real estate all over

the northern part of the county.

Dnslncm Failure at Wabfeah. Wabash. Ind.. August 26.—E. H. Murray, dry-goods merchant, who removed from Rochester two years ago to tht* city, closed his doors yesterday afternoon, the first notification that he was financially embarrassed. His Indebtedness will run from 818,000 to 820,000, principally to Eastern creditors, while his assets are about the same. Dull business and slow collections ars at fault

Postmaster Sahm has decided to relieve the postoffice corner of the crowd which spends the day there hi a discussion of the money question. The noise, he says, of loud-voiced orators and the applause and cheering of the crowd seriously Interferes with the business of the office. He declared that the crowd must be dispersed, even if he had to swear out warrants for the leaders. United States Marshal Hawkins is the custodian of the buildings and grounds, with jurisdiction over the sidewalks and has police powers. The postmaster tried to find him last evening in order to aek him to disperse the crowd. It had been so noisy all day that the burlness of the money order department, or. the Market-street side of the building, had been seriously interrupted. The postmaster also suffered personally hi peace of mind, because his office windows open almost on a level with the crowd, and during the heat of the day It is necessary tc keep the windows open. But the marshal and his deputies went out to the ball game, and could not be recalled in time to act before the doee of bnslness. Mr. Sahm then called up the police station, demanding protection. The police station recited Judge Cox’s ruling.

Miss Edna Louise Trotter, of Delaware township, carried off first honors in the Ripley county oratorical contest, and

Captain Dawson, who answered the telephone, doubted the power of the police to (Asperse the crowds, but he promised to lay the matter before the police board. Nothing like this curb-stone discussion lias ever been noticed before in any campaign, at least since the war. Old politicians look upon the phenomenon as an evolution In methods of campaigning which the conditions have unexpectedly made useful. Paid Ad-vocatea. It is said to be certain that the advocates of free silver coinage kept a man on salary to stand about wherever a crowd could be attracted. This was a suggestion to the sound money organization which, it U said, was eagerly seized, and they have engaged a ready and quick-witted member of organized labor to meet the silverite , The persons suspected of receiving pay for their efforts are familiar faces In the crowd, and either side can secure a debate on short notice. They do not obtrude themselves, says one who watches the crowds with some constancy, unless there are no volunteers ready to assume the burden of an argument, or unless such a one, from lack of knowledege or tact In debate, in about to be worsted. Then the paid advocate, who is always a listener, manages to break Into the discussion, and soon finds himself pitted against the other paid advocate. They give each other a knowing look, khd again rehearse their old argumenets, or take up the thread where last circumstances broke it off. Both carry printed documents with them. They vary their Jousts at times by talking on the income tax. There is seldom much talk of the tariff. The few who are Informed as to the interest of the advocates, who both claim membership in a labor union, bave remearked that they are violating the rules by working

overtime.

They can be seen surrounded by a crowd far past midnight, and 8 o'clock finds them on duty again. * They deny, of course, that they have any other than a patriotic Interest in the issue. The crowds at first were strongly impregnated with the silver Idea, but lattoriy the tide has swung back. The shouting Is mostly done by the sound money advocates, who so predominate that less and less disposition is shown to give the disputants on the other side

a fair hearing.

Silver Forces Routed.

The silver forces in front of the post-

office were routed this morning by United States Marshal Hawkins. Ha came at a time when the crowds were full of Indignation. Some one in the Federal building, tired of hearing the constant argument, had thrown a pitcher of water fairly Into the middle of the crowd. No one knew

who threw it, but It dampened the «i thualasm of the crowd and 0041: scatter for a time. There WS,

threats of vengeance, and it was suggested by a loud-voiced speaker that they file affidavits against the map threw the water. This would probably have been done if they could have found out who threw it. The crowd soon quieted down, and In a few minutes was again in the

midst of a discussion of the silver

tion.

Postmaster Sahm went to the Police Court this morning, and told the Judge that since Ms speech on the duties of the

ination.
