1L0CAL WHOLESALE TRADE i . UNSEASONABLY MILD TV EATilEIw PUTS A CHECK ON BUSINESS. tDrr Goods Houses Sloat Affected hr This Condition Crocer Are Bniy- ? Cereal Supply and Demand I 4 la the wek ending- Nov. 7 trad in wmi lines I en the wholesale streets fell hört of xpectaätlons. though there la not much complaint. as the weather, until within the last day or two. kad beea too summery la character to make (business good. On Commission row there was a isalr movement of trrplcal fruits, Irish and J sweet potatoes cabbage, onions and like artls cle. but the weather Is such that for domestic jh purposes buyers are slow la laying: In winter atocks. New crop California evaporated roods hare begun to arrive. Including: raisins. For some week prices on flour hava been well maln4 talned. Local mills have been running; steadily y and are still behind In their orders, both domes tlo and export. The wholesale grocers are doIn? a good business, but have plenty of competition from other points In territory which geographically belongs to them, but as they pcraetlrae go Into territory for business belongingto others they are not disposed to complain. Sugars have declined considerably and some dealers look for still lower prices. The new crop has begun to arrive at New Orleans and the New Orleans crop of molasses will be due la the r.ext week or two. Coffee carries strong; tone because no one can estimate the (growing; crop. Tho present visible supply Is the highest on record, and there la certainty of a steady reduction from now on, so that when the nxt crop year Is reached a smaller business 1 supply In th world Is looked for. Dry goods 1 houses are having a dull trade, weather condlI tlons not being favorable to much activity in t fall and winter goods. Prices rule steady at the revision of Ftllay, though cotton goods are much firmer. The provision market Is active ' for th season of the year. Fresh meats sell at high figures and the middle classes rely largely on beg products for meat. Poultry, eggs and butter are firm. Eggs were advanced during the teett 1 cnt a dozen and higher prices .are looked for, as the Eastern market la strong. Pcultry la rei-orted to be In Urge supply, but ' prices are well maintained. Other markets are tnuch in the tamo position as a week ago. Indianapolis Grain Market.

There's more people happy to-day than there ever was before." a.id Squire Mack. "I hear a good deal of kicking." Davy, the constable, declared. That's tho sign that I'm right." said the -quire. "How do you make that out?" "There never was so many people owned United States Steel stock." "Hühl I thought them that was partners of Morgan was miserable." "Sure, they are. but there's so many of them It makes them supremely heppy." said the 'squire. "One of the first things that was learned when the footstool became the habit a tlon of man was that misery loves comnanv. It's the great sign of true humanity that a man don t want to hog all the misery In the world Being generous Is one of the best of human traits. It a more blessed to give than to re celve. you know. To be blessed is to be happy. Therefore, the miserable man Is the happy man If he can share his troubles with somebody else. There's near a hundred thousand of them owning United States Steel stock and a more miserable happy lot there never was. "A few months ago there was only about half as many owners of Steel. They wasn't happy. How could they be? Prices was high, dividends was big and regular and it was impossible to buy all the stock they wanted. They could easy figure that if any one of them owned a lot more of the stun they'd be fixed for life. They was thinking then of the material wealth that men prize so much that don't bring no real happiness. They never thought then of sharing with anybody else. They was hogs. A hog never can be happy. He's unhappy because he can't hava everything and because somebody else has something. . He don't like to know that somebody else is as well off as himself. "But it's all changed now, Davy. We've got on a better basis. Man's love for man asserted Itself. Generosity drove out selfishness and now the miserable happles Is everywhere. "When prices began to fall there was an awakening. Men that had been hogging all the good things see that they had done wrong. They begin to crave something besides stock. What they wanted was money. That meant happiness. They see the only way was to let some of the other iellows in and they done It. Some of them couldn't help it. But that don't make no difference. It takes a hard knock to make some people see their duty. And then they can claim the virtue of the good deed the same as If they hadn't been forced. "I don't think much of a chap that criticises the motives behind a good deed. The deed stands for itself. If the way to make a great bunch of happiness is to get misery in a big company, the world gains if the deed is done. You can easy see how it works out. lou can easy see It's better to "have a hundred thousand bearing the burden of the United States Steel than for the whole load to be on a few shoulders. All you have to be Is an optimist of the right sort." "It's too much for me." confessed Davy. "How do you figure that we gain from so many busted fortunes!" "Why. after the busted ones get through weeping and congratulating themselves that they ain't alone in their mlser there's be the whole thousand armies of them to turn In together and go to work to put things right again." said 'Squire Mack. 'There's nothing like a whole lot of ambitious men striving for fortune to boost things along." Pensions for Veterans. Certificates have been Issued to the following named Indianlana: Elijah H.

CEREAL PRICES EASIER

LIQUIDATION IN WHEAT MAKES FOR LOWER VALUES. Evenlng.Up Trade In Corn and Oats Results In Small Losses Mixed Changes In Provisions. CHICAGO. Nov. 7. The wheat market had an easier tendency to-day, due to a general desire to liquidate on the part of holders of December, and the closing price on that delivery was 4c lower. Corr. was down He, oats were eft s4c and provlrions closed from 5c higher to 15c lower. December wheat was offered freely at the start, on large receipts in the Northwest, and there were good commission house sales of that commodity, which resulted in weakness early in the day. December opened a shade to lower at 7S4Ü7S?4c. and before the end of the first hour the price had dropped to 78Uc. Toward the middle of the session a good general demand developed, and with outside markets rhowlng some advance and predictions of un favorable weather, the market assumed a bright er aspect and th early loss was regained. Re ports of a small export business at the seaboard caused further liquidation late In the day and prices again eaed off. The close was at the bottom with December 4c lower at 78Vi'S78c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 431.DOO bu. Primary receipts were 1,303.300 bu. against 1,614,400 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 975 cars, which, with local receipts of 5 cars, two of contract grade, made a total 1.070 cars, against 1,053 last week and 1.175 a year ago. Corn did not receive any particular support and prices sagged. Fine weather made the pit somewhat bearish and there was scattered seil lng by local traders, who deemed it best to even up over Sunday. The cash demand was fair, but receipts were a little larger. After selling between 414c and 444c, December closed He lower at iV,tQUc Receipts were 337 cars. 17 of contract grade. Oats ruled a little easier, with wheat and corn, but local traders showed little disposition to take the selling side of t'ae market. Cash houses were fair buyers of December, and after ranging between 354'2'35?&c and 35?ic that month closed at 35tV335c, a loss of '34c. Receipts were 279 cars. With th exception of lard, provisions ruled easier. There was some buvinz of lard at the start, but from the action of the other hog prod-jcts. it looked as if lard was being suyjorted In order to make a better market on which to unload. There was scattered i.elllr.g of pork by tired hoicfrs, and that commoiiiy closed loc lowr at $11.90 for the January option. Lard was 5c higher at $6.80, but ribs were oil 7V2C at JS.Z0H6.224. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 130 cars; corn, 220 cars; oats, 213 cars; hogs, 33,000 neaa. Leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.

St. Lonls Parties Trying to Day All Insurance on Stored Grain. ST. LOUIS. Nov. 7. A plan to corner the St. Louis December wheat by the buying of all the possible insurance of the wheat in elevators. both on the East Side and In this city. Is outlined In information given to the Republic by Insurance men. Corwin H. Spencer, John T. Millikcn, Thomas Akin and Herman Kuehn are mentioned as the leaders In a movement which was begun last September which makes it seem probable that it will be absolutely Im possible for outsiders to store their December wheat in St. Louis elevators. The supply of vneat, it is said, is greater than the bulls anticipated and to prevent delivery on the jjecemDer ceai iney nave cornered the insur ance market on wheat. Of the 120 Insurance companies taking busi ness In St. Louis it Is said that everyone of them has written policies of St. Louis and East M. Louis levators uggregatinc about $3,o00,0t0. The insurance far exceeds the visible supply In the elevators, but by takln? out insurance for the full capacity of the warehouses at the marginal price of wheat the bulls hope to make it impossible for outsiders to store their grain, which would preclude the insuring of It and nscessarily prevent the borrowing of money by the present shorts, who would bo practically zrozen out 01 me market. Wheat Fluctuated. Porterfield & Co.. Indianapolis.! CHICAGO, Nor. 7. The wheat market was a quiet affair, the opening was a shade under yes terday's close, and the first prices were at a reduction of ic to c but later more strength was shown. In the last hour the market was strong and weak by turns, but .there was very little snap to it. Predictions of snow and rain did not add firmness. There was considerable end of tho week professional selling for profit taking In corn, and the country offerings were more liberal. The week's movement suggests a moderate increase in stoexs.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKETS

CATTLE INACTIVE AND WITHOUT IM PORTANT CHANGE IX riUCES. Hosts Active and Five to Ten Cents Ilifrher Sheep Active and Firm Condition of Other Markets. UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7. Cattle Receipts, 500; shipments, 300. The receipts of cattle this week have been of smaller volume, showing a decrease of 1,500 compared with last week, but an Increase of 1,650 over the same week a year ago and 200 over the corre sponding week two yars ago. Thus far this year the receipts are nearly 34.000 larger than the same time last year and the receipts for the month thus far are 2.2C0 larger than the same period a year ago. It has been difficult to discover or rather determine the change in the cattle mar ket from one day to another this week. It is a fact, however that the trade has been about the dullest of the season thus far and there have been verp frequent and decided changes that did not govern the general market. The early part of the week all dealers were Inclined to quote the market steady, but at the same time they were having considerable difficulty In getting such terms and all the time there seemed to be a weaker undertone working. The conditions elsewhere were not euch as to be of any benefit to the trade here and, in fact, lower prices else-, where finally caused a further drop in prices here. As usual for some time past salesmen had to contend with a lot of undesirable cattle, and besides being very hard to get, rid of they no doubt effected the market for better grades. Terms quoted from other places attracted several orders for the cheaper cattle from some of our local packers and this, of course, reduced the outlet here. Finally at the close of the week it was generally admitted that the best cattle in all departments were selling at least 10c lower than earlier in the week and It was not uncom mon to hear of sales of the less desirable grades around 15c to 25c lower. It is a fact that prices at the close of the week were as low or lower for most of the cattle offered than they have been heretofore this season, and there Is no question that the trade has been exceedingly dull at current prices. There is no doubt that the situation here Is as good as any place else, but this, of course. Is of no consolation to the telling side. It will be observed that a great many steers have sold to be made Into beef below $1 and a few as low as $3.25. The proportion of steers good enough to bring above $4.50 has been quite small and there were no sales this week above $3.15. A very small percentage of the heifers have sold above $3.75, but a large number at $3. 25 3. 50 and others as low as $2.50. The cow market has been very unsatis factory and a small proportion of the supply sold around $203.25, but the bulk of the sales have been from $2.23 to $2.75 and as low as $L The market for bulls and calves has shown probably less change than for anything in the cattle line. Bulls have been good enough to bring $3.50 3.75, but, as usual recently, most of the of ferings have sold below $3. Calves at all times have been salable as high as $7 and largely at $6.25:36.50, with heavier grades at $3 5. The receipts to-day wero as large as expected at this time in the week and with no improvement in the demand, salesmen had the same difficulty In transferring their consignments that they have had heretofore this week. But prices did not represent any further change. The week closed with a number of cattle left In the pens unsold and present conditions do not Indicate any favorable developments in the market In the near future. The outlet for stockers and feeding cattle this week has been unimportant. but the week kinds that could be sold brought about steady i rices, with $3.75 the extreme for extra kinds.

For the week ending yesterday tie1 leading local packers bought a total of 25,217, against 30,103 the preceding week and 25,417 the same week a year ago. During the same period the shipments were 6.207. against 7.752 the preceding week and 5,821 the corresponding week a year ago. The receipts of hogs at the beginning of this week were fairly liberal and, with very little opposition from outside sources and unfavorable conditions elsewhere, local packers took advantage of the opportunity and forced a sharp decline in prices. After a strong market Monday value aecunea iuc to lac on luesaay and at the close of trade on Wednesday were about 20c lower than on Monday. This caused a decrease in the marketing, and. with quite an Increase in the demand from outside sources. the market the last half of the week rallied and closed with a net loss of only about 15c in prices compared with Monday. The quality was gen erally satisfactory throughout the week and with very little difference in the offerings, on account of weight, mere was no occasion ror a wiae range In prices such as at other markets, which had a greater variety of hogs to sell, reported. Throughout the week the good medium to heavy grades had the prererence ana soia at tne strong est crlces. while crcunary ugnt mixea nors toward the close of the week were discriminated against more than they have been for some time rast. So far as Quality ana conamon are con cerned packers are evidently satisfied with the superiority of the hops coming here and throughout the week have been free and liberal buyers at current prices, their total purchase for the week belnir five limes as many as shippers. The rece-irts to-day were comparatively liberal for a Saturday and more than twice as large as a week ago, but nearly z.ow smauer tnan a year ago. rne market openea wun a conunuea gooa demand from shippers and this, of course, stim ulated the competition from local packers. From the start there was an active trace at an uneven advance of 5c to 10c In prices over yesterday. All arades received the benefit of the advance. but It was impossible to make all sales at the full strength of the market, with both packers and shippers free buyers the morning receipts were soon exhausted at the advance. Fully l.oX hogs came In late and ordinarily this would probably have made some change in the market, but local - packers were wanting hogs and took an ot tne late arrivals at steady nrices compared with the opening. Sales ran red from $5 to $5.20. and the bulk of the supply sold at 35.15ft5.25. with more at $o.20 than any other price.

The receLbt of sheep and lambs this week, although

small, have been of a little larger volume, show

ing an lncreare of 200 over last week, 450 over the same week a year ago and a decrease of L150 compared with the corresponding week two year ago. The receipts thus far this year show a gain of 2,300 over the same time last year ana for the month thus far there is an Increase of 6K over the same period a year ago. Moderate receipts prooably alone have been responsible for a satisfactory market here for sheep and lambs this week as compared with other places. Most of the time shippers have been forced out of the market because there were not enough to get a shipment after local requirements had been satisfied. At all times there has been at lit a normal demand from local butchers, and as a result strong prices have been maintained. Occsplonally prices on account of a dlfTeience in quality appeared to be lower, but in reality they were not. At all times the better cls?s of larr.n have been salable at lit! 5.23. and sheep at $33 3.25. Oood clearances were made promptly each day. and no doubt the market In all respects has been fully up to expectations. The receipts to-day were a good average for this time in the week and with good quality represented and a cteady demand the market was active and a rrompt clearance was made early at fully steady prices.

A Question Which Hunters of Gsune Are Asked to Consider, November Recreation, Several patents have recently been Issued for automatic shotguns, and I am informed that the Winchester Arms Company, of New Haven. Conn., Is building machinery to make such a gun. Another grin house has already bought out one, and it Is now being: advertised and sold. It would seem that reasonable men, no matter how eagerly they may seek the mighty dollar, should he satisfied with tha weapons already on the market for destroying' American birds and wild animals. We have repeating rifles, repeating shot guns, double barrel and single barrel shotsuns by the million, and with these the brlds and the wild animals have been re duced to pitiable remnants of their once great numbers; but now. as if not satisfied with the slaughter which has been and is being carried on, these blgr gunhouses are putting out still more murderous engines of destruction, for market hunters and pot hunters. This announcement should arouse the Indignation of every decent sportsman and every nature lover on tne continent, ana i appeal to all such to write at once to the Winchester Arms Company, protesting In the strongest and most vigorous language possible, against the making and putting on the market of an automatic gun. Many people who have not kept up with the developments of recent years, in the way of firearms, may not know what is meant by an automatic gun. It Is simply this: A gun with a magazine holding a rumbe r or cartridges which may be discharged as fast as a man can pull the trigger. The shooter Jumps a bunch of quails or geese. cocks his gun and fires. The recoil or tho first shot throws out the empty shell, throws a new one into the chamber and cocks the gun ready for another shot. From that on, all the shooter has to do is to swing the muzzle of his gun from one bird to another and pull the trigger until tho last shot is fired. Pistols built on this plan hold seven to ten cartridges, and it is possible to fire all of them in less than two seconds. The magazlno of an automatic shotgun, holding six cartridges, could be emptied as quickly, and if the shooter wero an expert, as many of the game butchers are, it would be possible to kill ten or more birds out of a covey before they could get out of reach. The repeating rifle has ben an Important factor in wiping out the big game of this country. The pump gun, so called, has proven little short of a national calamity. An automatic shotgun would be a disgrace to the Nation, and Its Introduction should be prohibited by law. This may not be, but the sale of any such weapon, to decent men, can be prevented by tho creation of a proper public sentiment. I appeal to all readers of Recreation to write at once to the company mentioned, stating that they will never buy or use an automatic gun; that they will discourage its use by others In every legitimate way; and that they will not associate with any man who may use euch a weapon. Will every woman who loves the birds write and protest, in the name of decency and of humanity, against the making and selling of any such weapon? Hero is a chanco to strike a telling blow for the protection of our birds, and I trust no friend of the birds or the wild animals will let tho opportunity pass, no matter how busy he or she may be. When you write this company send me a copy of your letter, In order that I may print as many such protests as possible. Tipsy Blen Who Day Clotues. Philadelphia Record.
