GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER 4 CO- - 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, Oct 1 Grain news mostly bearish. Argentine crop progressing. Export demand poor. Covering due Saturday and a Monday bulge. Corn decline has run 18 days and declines that exceed 16 days often run 24. - Cromwell back from Iowa and Illinois, believes that 75 per cent of Illinois corn crop is safe. Frost last night only effected half of the late acreage. Forecast for mild weather for several days. While there is no reliable world wheat surplus guess the bullish wheat situation has been shaken by guesses of world surplus of near 700 million against a need of 600 millIon. Of the 700 million surplus at least 100 million is questionable, but there can be no serious wheat scarcity before May or June. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND.
Five Minutes with By JAMES GENERAL GRANT The last scene of all that ends the' strange, eventful history of Grant was tne 6trangest . . . and most pathetic. When a cry of Caesarism was raised in Grant's second term, there appeared a little book. "The Coming Crown," which amusingly portrayed "the imperial family." Somehow the simple soldier president did not fit well into the picture as "Emperor Ulysses I". But the "Crown Prince Frederick," "Prince Jesse", and the other "Imperial Highnesses" were better suited to their absurd parts in this burlesque I court at the White House. i ne only member of the presidential family who won much popular favor was Nellie Grant. Being a spirited, unconventional girl, Nellie was sent away from her throng of courtiers to give her time to mature in Europe. And she came home engaged to Algernon Sartoris, an Englishman whom she met on shipboard. The match was not at all to the liking of her fond, :amer. Alter ne had given her away in a brilliant White House wedding, he was found lying on his bed, his face buried in a pillow, a prey to grief. When Grant left the White House, freed from public care for the first time in 15 years, his uppermost wish was to visit his daughter in England, where he was surprised by the public welcome that greeted his arrival. He was "puzzled to find himself a personage," said James Russell Lowell. But his political friends were quick to see in his triumphs abroad a chance to restore their own prestige at home, and they urged him on until he had completed a tour of the world, which remains, perhaps, unequalled in brilliance. As he went his way from London to Tokio, emperors and kings honored him, marshals paraded their troops before him, statesmen consulted him. But he bore himself amid all the splendid pageantry as simply as if he were an onlooking bystander. Coming home after a three years' absence, he weakly yielded to the poli ticians who were using his name in a desperate adventure to regain power for the "Stalwart" faction of the Republican party. But the wise, unwritten law against a third term was vindicated in his defeat in the Republican convention of 1880. The simple truth is Grant was in need of employment. After counting over his money left after his long, mostly trip, he saw. as he wrote to a friend, that he would have "to live in Galena or on a farm" ... if not in the White House. Failing the White House, he was tempted by a "young Napoleon of Finance" into the whirlpool of New York and to become a partner in a Wall street bank. Into that blind venture he put what little money he had and most of all . . . his name. The great but mbdest soldier had always a weakness for mere rich men, who had succeeded where he failed. Established in a big house in New York, with the money rolling in upon him under the conjuring tricks of his partner, the hero of Appomattox actually felt flattered by the thought that at last he was a "success" and could meet millionaires on a level. After dwelling three years in that fools' paradise he was rudely awakened from his dream of wealth by the "young Napoleon's" request that he go borrowing from William H. Vanderbilt to save the bank from crashing. He was lame from a fall on an icy street when the truth was broken to PUBLIC SALE PUBLDC

Our Presidents MORGAN IN HIS LAST DAYS 1877-9 Grant's tour of the world. 1880 June, defeated for nomination for third term In Republican national convention. Entered the firm of Grant & Ward, bankers, in New. York. 1884 Failure of Grant & Ward. Grant began to write his "Personal Memoirs". Afflicted with cancer of the throat. 1885 -March 4, Congress revived the rank of General for him. July 23, died at Mt. McGregor, N. Y., aged 63. him, but he limped into the Fifth Avenue palace of the multi-millionaire and came out with $150,000. As he entered the bank, two days later, he was met with the crushing news that the firm of Grant & Ward had gone down in a shameful failure. Hours afterward a clerk found the broken man still sitting at his desk in silent despair, his head dropped forward, his hands gripping the arms of his chair. The trial of the partner and of another man involved in the big swindle, which ended in their conviction and imprisonment, opened Grant's eyes to what a dupe he had been. "I have made it a rule of my life," he grieved, "to trust a man long after other people gave him up; but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again." Had not a stranger, grateful for "services ending April, 1865", come instantly to his rescue, Grant would have been reduced to actual want in New York again, as he had been just 30 years before, when he landed in the city an ex-army officer in disgrace. Vanderbilt took from him the little real estate that he owned, even his swords, even the trophies of his victories in war and of his triumphs abroad. These latter were afterward given to the government and are now treasured in the national museum at Washington, a melancholy reminder of an extraordinary pawn. Out of bad came good. Grant opens his "Personal Memoirs" with a frank admission that he consented to write that great narrative only because he was living on borrowed money when a publisher proposed the undertaking. As he pursued his theme he was gratified to discover an unsuspected gift for unfolding a moving tale of his adventures and achievements in the field. He wrote on until he had finished a story as imposing in its directness and simplicity as his own nature. And the first sales of it brought his wife, when he was gone, more money than all the earnings of his lifetime. One day, in the midst of his writing, as he was eating a"' peach, he felt a stabbing pain in his throat. A deadly cancer had him in its clutch. With grim heroism, he fought it until he had completed the two volumes of his "Memoirs", although he was reduced to the necessity of whispering his dictation in the ear of a stenographer. Finally he was left speechless and had to write out the closing chapters on a pad in his lap. At the coming of summer, he was taken up-state to a cottage on Mt. McGregor. There he silently welcomed, as he sat on the piazza, the visitors who came to see him, among them General Simon Bolivar Buckner. To that classmate at West Point and foePUBLIC SALE SALE
man at Fort Donaldson, Grant gave his last message to his countrymen, a message of rejoicing that his sufferings had united North and South In a common sympathy.
INDUSTRIAL STATUS SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Industrial relations in Richmond at the present time, according to labor leaders and employers, are more nearly normal than they have been for some years. Labor leaders and employers are agreed that conditions here are good. There are few unemployed in the city, according to reports on file at the Central Labor Council. Production has been curtailed by the falling off in demand, here as in other cities, but as yet no great lay-off of men has occurred. One prominent labor leader says: "Peaceful negotiation has done much to keep industrial unrest out of Richmond. There is little or no unrest, although there might be more or less dissatisfaction. Workers here as elsewhere will not work unless dealt with fairly." Production Increased. A large manufacturer stated that conditions in his factory are the best they have been since the opening of the war. "Our men are producing more and are better satisfied than at any time during the past five years. I try to treat them right and their action points to a rapid return to normal conditions," he stated. The community spirit which Is found in Richmond, lacking in many other cities, goes to make satisfaction among the workers, one leader stated. One investigating the subject finds a spirit of confidence shared by the employe, tradesman and manufacturer. Richmond faces two hard problems. The first of these is the housing question. The second is transportation. Labor leaders state that this is the most unfavorable aspect in the industrial situation in the city now. Census Statistics (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. D.

Co-operation ef Farmers IVeeded to Stamtt Out 9 Hessian Fly By P. G. HOLOEN. CONSIDERABLE loss to the wheat crop in several states wiu caused daring the past year by the Hessian fly. One agricultural adviser reports that In his county over fifty per cent of the early sows wheat was destroyed. While there seems to be no known remedy that will Insure absolute freedom from the Hessian fly, there are two things which, if generally followed by all farmers, will do much to eradicate the pest. They are: , 1. Plow under deeply all Inf wheat stubble during the late su mer or early fall. 2. Postpone sowing winter wheat until we are sure none of the plants will appear above ground until after the flies have died. Life History of Pest. We must remember that, In the form of small, dark brown cases, resembling flaxseed, the flies spend the winter in the bases of wheat stems, and that in the spring the winged files leave the Injured wheat and seek the healthy wheat, on the leaves of which they lay their eggs. From these eggs small maggots are hatched, and these maggots crawl down to the bases of the leaves, where they feed upon the sap until they are matured, when they again turn Into the "flaxseed" stage and. after the wheat Is cut, remain Jj the stubble. -1 By plowing the stubble under deeply, we can destroy them while they are In this stage, but if we do not do this, they will form a second generation of flies In the fall. These flies leave the stubble and lay their eggs on the young winter wheat. These young flies live only a few days, and If the winter wheat has been planted late enough so that It Is not out of the ground, the files die before depositing their eggs. All Farmer Co-operate. Bnt unless all farmers In an Infested district plow under their stubble and sow their winter wheat late, these remedies will not prevent damage because flies from an Infested field will soon Invade adjoining fields. . I all the farmers would sow their winter wheat at the proper time, there would be little damage from the Hessian fly. Any farmer can ascertain the correct date to plant his winter wheat by applying to bis county agent or to his agricultural ?ollege.
