They were held In 32.00Q bonds. > - Goshen milk dealers have raised the price to 6 cents. Elkhart dealers tried

to do the same, but so far their efforts have failed, because one man. who does a wholesale as well as retail business, insists that since milk costs hut 13 cents a gallon and Is sold for 29 cents, the profit of 7 cents is sufficient for the delivering. Goshen consumers call It "the milk trust.*’ , and say if new dairies will open at the old price, it will kill all the old and profft-

giving milk routes.

Live -stock deliveries In Chicago by various 'ailroads for the month of October were 23.153 car*, against ».7*1 in September. and 23,<n2 in October last year. Of the ZJ&'.&ss head of cattle, hogs and sheep received at Chicago, Kansas City, On-ana and Bt, Ltraia last month Chicago had Kansas City wKiXxi. Omaha 4»kWj and Be Louis 245,14*. The Eastern country that ha* been supplying the exporters and the Eastern markets with vat tie wrj.l soon be through and exporters, a* well as otners who have been buying in the East, wld have to come to the com belt. Theie is a great nun.ber of cattle In preparation, but wi.n a s.eady foreign demand and our own meat *-a-er*» there will be a great numoer of cat ,le needed to supply the demand. A correspondent of the Drovers’ Journal writes: "in a recent Issue you quote the sale of two vea. ca,ves. 2S#s pound*, at 3i.«» per M: two veai calve*. Z¥i poun is.at 36.7a; one vea;. 179 pounds, at 17 fc. Such veal raised on who.e mi“k by farmer*. I>y reason of the Pjw price of butter during the summer; W/me of them on whole ml,* and grass. They are rea.ly the r»ghe*t grade of beef product, in Holland when* ml k veals, with a live weight of 3u> to pounds, command the top of the market. There Is a remaraab.e discrepancy In Chicago between live vea.* and those shipped In dressed. The veal calf you quote a* l.u pounds and so.d at 3. 'e» per i*9 pound*, fetched $15.t4>. which, dressing IbS pf^und^. if shipped to Bou.h Water street, would have so.d for Wc, or 110.20." t CITY WHOLESALE QlOTATIOSS. Canent **rj«t«tlon» on Vsrloss

Grain Note*. [By A. W. Thomson’s Wire.] Chicago, November 7.—Wheat—In spite of the fact that Liverpool closed 4& 7 'b , 1 higher for the various futures, this market has been, for the most part since opening, below yesterday's close. Northwestern markets are a shade weaker than we are. Public and private stocks are reported to have Increased at this point 1.300.000, and it is the pressure of the cash property that makes this market so slow to respond to news ordinarily bullish. It is expected that Bradstreet, which will be Issued to-morrow, will show’ a decrease in the world's stocks of I, 500,000, which has had a firming effect. A good demand is a so reported from St. Louis by millers. Primary receipts are given at about 991.000. North West receipts 903 cars against 9j6 last week ntlnental cables: Paris 4c- to 1c per .tshel higher; flour 4c to 4c per bushe. higher; Berlin 4c to %c higher; BudaPesth 4c higher. , Corn lvo>ds nrm; news from the fields cont.nues di.-appointlng. Cash demand good. Contract ..lock here decreased for the week 679.0UO. Considering the heaviness of wheat, this cereal is wed held. Oats steady, apparent.y held by the firmness in corn. Very little feature to the iiuue. Provisions are firmer. Liverpool 6d higher on bacon, unchanged on .iams and lard. SL.pments cut-meats 4,116.000 pounds and of lard 2 5K5.00C. We are still of the opinion that hog products are selling too .ow, and that u good advance later win occur. Rosario's Engl.sh cable read: “Weather continues favoiable tor wheat and flax. The prospects are for a crop of eaen above an aveiage and not less wheat than last year.” The Chicago Record says: Not a few operators contend that the advance yesterday was not warranted by the newfl, and that there can be little hope for higher prices peimanemly until there shall have been a better cia.-s of foreign buying, or at least sufficient to cause some reductions In the vast visible supply, and prices here and abroad shall reach a higher parity. So long as forelgn-grown wheat and English wheat can be bought cheaper than Amerlcan-grow’n. any advance here, it is argued, must, in nature of things, be purely speculative and unstable. Broomhail Cable—The opening advance this morning of He was due to the higher American closings yesterday and good general buying here. Prices easing off later on profit-taking. Corn opened higher on the American cables, easing off during the morning. In sympathy with wheat. , The visible supply of wheat last week Increased 1.440.000 bushels; corn decreased 984.000. oats decreased 50.000. The combined public and private stocks at Chicago Increased 1,307.000. It looks as if the world's Bradstreet visible of wheat to-day would decrease J. 500.000 bushels for the week, compared with a decrease last year of 3,000.000. The bears will probably give it up after reading the following heart-breaking news from Omaha: A Harvard (Neb.) farmer drove In here yesterday with his wagon two-thirds full of corn, and said that was all he got off ten acres. Statistics to-day are Incomplete, because New York. Philadelphia, Toledo, Cincinna i and some other points are closed.

Predicts Big Bull Movement. (Chicago Poit.l The head of one of the largest stock brokerage houses in Chicago said that he firmly believed conditions were again shaping themselves for another big bull market In New York. He would not presume to predict just when this upward movement in prices would be s arted. but said that in h!s opinion It was bound to come within the next six months. “And when that movement comes.” he continued. ‘the dally record of stock transactions will be broken. It will be a market such as the country has nevfr before seen, one In which sales of stock will range all the way from 1,000,000 to 1,5,0,00U shares a day, and prices for all the standard stocks wul reach entirely now high levels. "The first and most Important essentia, to a bud market In slocks Is a sound and prosperous condition of general business, and I don t think there la anybody i»t ail posted on the situation who w.U laie to deny that we nave that. 'Ihe real test of ^a.ues is income, and ihe business Interests of th.» country, railways as well as Industrials, are n.aktng more money oday than ever before In their history Then there is another reason for maning Ouuisn piealcllons, one that has to do, perhaps, more With the speculative than with the commercial slue of the si.uailon, but none ihe less patent for all that, and that is that the big men of the street nave the nocks. Nobody has ever accused the large operators of Wal. street >f being actuated by purely philanthropic motive.* in coming to the support of the market. When they take on large loads of s’.ock It means that they intend to sell them to the public at some later date at a profit, and in oruer to do thia they are compel.ed to work prices up, or, In other words, start a bull movement. This I believe to be the situation to-day. There is no question in my mind that outside holdings were pretty well liquidated on the recent slump in Wall street, and that the stocks thrown overboard have passel into the hands of the very people who are In a position to make their own market to sell on whenever they get ready to do so.” New Light In Wall Street. Young John D. Rockefeller has created a stir by entering the speculative arena In Wall street, or, as his father puts it. he “has bought and sold some sto«.k." He is “In" leather, but Just what part he is playing has not yet been ascertained. The way he got in is thus explained : Three months ago "Leather.” as the common stock of the United States Leather Company Is listed on ’Change, was around 6. and nobody was trading in j it. Soon It went to 10,- and “the street” began to scent a big speculative deal. ! Steadily it rose, until last Saturday it was up to 40. This rise of 500 per cent was : traced to young Rockefeller, because a semi-official announcement that 200,000 shares of Leather common had been transferred on the books of the company to the son of the richest man in America, j and that perhaps as much more was I owned by other members of the family, j John D. Rockefeller. Jr., is twenty-three years old. quiet, simple in tastes, as different from the usual rich man’s son as one could Imagine. He Is a graduate of Frown University, and he teaches a class In the Fifth-avenue Baptist church Sun-day-school. as his father did at one time. He Is of medium hlght, blue-eyed, cleanshaven. strongly built and straightforward in manner and speech. Last February he was elected a director of the Delaware, lackawanna & Western railroad. He :s already wel’. versed in the affairs of the Standard Oil Company, where he has bad a desk and worked as hard as any clerk in tfce office since he was graduate*’ from college. 0 ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.

“It's 'cause I've been thinkin’ about it so much," said the newsboy. “Besides, all the kids who sell the Noon News—we are learnln' to call It the ‘Noon Edition* now—have beqn talkin’ turkey, turkey, turkey, nothin' but turkey for ’most a week. “So anybody can see It, was natch’al enough for a boy to dream about turkey. Dreams Is funny. No matter how queer they look after a feller's awake, when he Is dreamin' ’em they seem to be so, don't they?" The dream to.^ of by the newsboy was ao real that It would have Imposed on anybody. He saw the sunrise of Thanksglv.ng morning. It seemed to fill the whole sky with glory. But when his eyes began to get a little used to the ehlne, he saw that it was the "funniest” sunrise that ever was. Right In the center was a great big turkey gobbler, with his tell spread out across the sky, the feathers running out Into long streaks of gold like those that fol ow a rocket, only these were ever so much brighter. ' And everything seemed so true and natural that he was not the least bit surprised when he saw that the turkey was at one end of a long tanie that grew and grew (the table, not the turkey, for the turkey was so big it cou.d not have grown any more no matter how It might have tried), until It was nearly 'a mile long and came right down to where he was. The table was covered with the whitest cloth he ever saw and all along on both sides of it clear up to the sunrise and the turkey were boys. They were all boys who sell the Noon News, That was the way It looked to him at first, but he soon saw there were other boys. "Yes.” said ho to himself,"this is Thanksgiving day. This Is toe dinner The News Is gtvin’ to all imj kids—all the kids that sel. the Noon News and all the other Newses and to all the carriers of all the Newses. No. this ain't no dream. I’m up against the real thing.” He felt so good tfcat he Just could not help •'hollerin' •’ to some of the "felleis” on the other side of the table—and the table was the widest table anybody ever saw. and not all the grocery stores in Indianapolis nor In the State all put together could ever have a* many good things In them as were piled up on that table.

The whole mile of boys, clear up to where the turkey sat In the middle of the sunburst, ahouted again and again. Once he thought the turkey Jerked his head a little as If he were frightened and the dreamer was afraid the turkey might fly away, but he did not.

did he think It wa* a Just bill? If so, *hy does he refuse to allow the children under his jurisdiction to enjoy the benefit thereof? Further, I spoke to Mr. Goes about these children, and he said that they would be transferred. Further, he was very anxious last fall to get all the transfers from Wayne and other townships in this county, ami told the parents that we, the trustees, could not refuse under hi- bill to grant transfers. Also, why doe* not the School Board of your city comply with the laws and give the applicant for transfers a refusal, according to law. so they car take their appeal? Ar this is Mr. Goss’s bill, why does he refuse to comply with It? When this bill wa* passed. Mr. Go is thought he had a decided advr.r1t.q3e ove* the township schools, and when he finds that we are as able to take care of ourselves as the city under him. he gets contrary and refuses to recognize his own bill.

Wha« “Short" Sales Are — They Haro Their Usee—Bears Expose aa Well as Practice the ArttKcee of Their Aatocoalete.

In discussing the rises in Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which was attributed to the rush of shorts to cover In fear of a corner, Matthew Marshall, in the New York Bun, gives a lesson on shorts and bears, which. In part, is as follows: • For the benefit of the uninitiated readers, it may be as well to explain that "short" sales of stock are sales made by sellers who do not own them, but who borrow them for deliver)', or contract to deliver them at a future day, expecting to buy them In the meantime at a lower price than they receive. Thus, until they fulfill their agreement to return the stock to Us leaders, or to deliver it to Its buyers. they are, like a man who owes more money than he can pay. short of It. If. besides, all the purchaseabie supply of the stock gets Into the possession of people who will not sell K, the short sellers are "cornered" as animals are cornered In an Inclosed field, and must pay for their liberty any price taelr captors demand. Since, too. the Interest of these short sellers impels them to do all In their power, by talk and by acts, to depress or bear down the prices of stacks they need for their deliveries, they are also called. In the slang of Wall street, "bears," Just as the operators who have not a like motive for tossing prices upward to the highest possible point, are called "bulla" On tho Btock Exchange, as everywhere else, the mass of operators buy for a rise, while comparatively few sell for a fall. This Is owing, both to the habit men arqure, as has been said, In tnelr regular business, of making a profit only by selling for more than they give, and to their fear of not being able to buy for delivery In case they sell what they do not possess, A man has to have a long experience in stock speculation and consblerable natural courage to contract to deliver, as a bear does, a stock at a future time, without knowing how much he will have to pay for It when the time comes to fulfill hla contract, and there are not many who can do It. Many will. Indeed, sell atocks which they own and lay aside the money In expectation of being able, after a while, to buy back what they have sold at less than they received, but this Is not selling short. It Involve* no risk beyond that of the loss of the expected profit, whereaa the bear may be compelled to pay an exorbitant nrlce for the stock he sells short They Become Odioas. If the bears did no more than to sell stocks and trust to the natural course of events or a fall In prices which wou!d enable them to deliver at a profit, they would still be unpopular, because their offerings compete with those of actual holders and thus, by Increasing the quantity apparently for sale, depress prices. When to this they add arguments to discourage Intending buyers, and endeavor to make them believe that the Stocks they have In view are not worth as much as they are bringing, their doings become positively odious to holders who desire to sell. When, furthermore, they spread Injurious reports, as they often do. make false statements, and result to other artifices to further their end, they Justly Incur enmity and deserve tho ill-feeling against them. Nevertheless, the sellers of stocks short are aot unmitigated villains, and the. function they perform has Us use. There are two sides to every question, and the bear who take* the side that a stock la selling for more than^tt Is worth, may be nearer right than the enthusiastic bull who thinks that It Is selling for a great deal less. So far, then, as the bear's offer to sell a stock for future delivery, lowers tho price, or even keeps It from rising, the buyer Is benefited. 80 far, too, as bis arguments against a rim are sound, they deserve consideration, amt giving due heed to them may be wise on the part of tha intending purchaser. The London Punch, it will be remembered, once printed as a supposed advertisement: "Wanted, by a young man about to marry, somebody to dissuade him from his purpose"; and. doubtless, many married people wish they had met such an adviser before they married. In the same way, many holders of stocks bought at the high prices that prevailed here laid spring wish now that they had followed the tead of those who, by selling short, attempted to dissuade them from purchasing.
