WHEAT WENT JUMPING
Sensational Week in the Noisy
Fit at Chicago.
Diu* to iho Rat nation of Crops in
Great states of North and
Middle West.
The bouncing wheat market iv Chicago
tin* week ha* beea the one subject of
ratrancing interest iv the great l'alouse
country, with it* broad acres of heading
wheat. The war in the Philippines is
forgotten. The guns of the British and
the fast retreating foottstepe of the Isoers
are do longer beard. The prospect of
rivers <>f Chinese blood in as nothing
compared with the bellowings of the
hull* and the groans of the bear* in the
Chicago wheat pit.
While the coast ami local market* did
nut respond in the same high degree that
the July market did at Chicago, because
of increased ocean freights and natural
reluctance, the Colfax price Saturday
mounted to 41* cents on board earn, but
fill back Tuesday with Monday's Chicago
slump to 45 cents.
Several Colfax speculators bettered
themselves from dollars to hundreds by
playing the market on the Lennox call
board during the exciting days.

Chicago, June U'J. —Drouth has ruined
hull" t lie crop of wheat of the northwest
ami iion excessive heat, according to to
day's dispatches, is Immune up the re
mainder. A message tronj that unfor
tunate part of the country said the tem
perature was LOO in places. If any
additional stitnulus were needed to cause
a continuance of recent heavy buying of
wheat, it was found in the news men
tioned. The market started the session
with a good advance over yesterday
n rid kept on advancing to the close.
Throughout the day northwest crops
were gloomy to an extreme degree. The
loss now will be nearly DO per cent. July
opened 1 1 4 to 1 5 8 over yesterday, at
78 7 8 to 7i) 14, and after a dip to
78 •'{ 1 near the opening advanced slow
ly hut surely to <S1 7-8, at which it
cloned, a price •'] 'A 4 over yesterday.
The northwest was a heavy buyer, but
at that it could not be eaid to have led
tin 1 trade. The demand came from every
where apparently; 100,000 bushel lots
offered for profit by fortunate possessors
were gobbled up like a peck of spuds,
and the statisticians on the board nearly
lost their wits trying to keep track of a
market v\ hich had gotten far out of ordi
nary bounds. Outside markets ad
vanced, those in the northwest shooting
up even faHter than Chicago, thus fur
nishing to the local people additional
impulse. The cash business was cur
tailed by the skyrocketing of futures.
The dips during the day were inconse
quential generally. During the forenoon
July, having jumped to 7.) .'} 4, sold off
to f8 ."5 4 under liquidation by longs,
but following that the dips were too
small to lie noticeable in such a large
market. The total of todays trading
was estimated at 30,000,000 bushels.
(iooil general buying of corn resulted
from the wheat strength, that market
ruling strong throughout, the session.
July closed at tin 1 top, 1 3-8 over yester
day.
Oats were active ami strong, helped
by the advance in wheat. July gained
1 cent over yesterday.
Jumped Cent and a (Quarter.
Chicago, June 21.—Wheat opened
nervously, July at B's<e'S4:C, and a rush
of buying orders sent the market in a
few minutes to 84% c. This was the high
mark of the day and of the recent phen
omenal result. The gloomy situation
in the northwest was practically un
changed. Liverpool showed a good re
sponse to the rally here yesterday. The
northwest, foreign interests and heavy
bulls were heavy buyers and despite
realizing sales on a large scale the mar
ket hung around the top for some time.
The big advance at Minneapolis was also
an encouragement. The break later in
day was also largely influenced, which
caused a decline from the top here. An
enormous trade was done around top
tigures, but shortly before noon the de
mand showed signs of having been satis
tied and the pressure of long wheat
made itself felt, July breaking to 82c.
The decline was punctuated by irregular
rallies, but the tendency for the rest of
the session was in the main toward a
lower level. At 82c renewed buying sent
July up to 82\c and shortly afterward
the market closed nervously, l' 4 c over
yesterday at 82V".
Corn was active and aroused by the
bullish enthusiasm in wheat at one time
showed a liberal advance. Shoits did it,
being frightened at the strength of the
irreat bread-making cereal. July closed
',c under yesterday at 40\,e.
The oat market was active and ex
cited most of the session. The market
advanced 2c in sympathy with wheat.
The decline in wheat, however, caused a
reaction, but the close was firm at a sub
stantial advance. July closed %c up
at 24,.-.
!St ill Went I p.
Chicago, June 22.—The speculators
had to swallow long wheat in heavy
chunks throughout the session and at
times July dipped by yesterday's closing
tigures. The northwest spring wheat
condition was still the great bull strong
hold and dispeusfd news of a pessim
istic nature. Trade was active, not
to say excited, and the market pulse
was rather feverish. A feeling that the
northwest shortage, irrave as it may
ultimately prove to be, had been dis
counted, was prevalent among many
traders. The heavy profit taking did
not tend to change this opinion. In
other words, it was held by many that
the price had advanced sutliciently to
allow today's news, which was the most
unfavorable vet announced, to be ig
nored. Hot weather and a clear sky
were generally reported from the Da
kotas, Minnesota and Manitoba. Their
crop possibilities were generally re
ported two-thirds ruined and the con
dition called a veritable disaster.
Statistician* Snow of the board of trade,
just back from a thorough investigation
of the situation, is reported to have de
clared the two Dakotas would not raise
over 40,000,000 bushels, while others
said the nothwestern states together
with Mauitoba would not produce over
00,000,000 bushels this season. July
opened 1\ to l%fi over yesterday at 83\
Caß«J:; s c and shortly afterward sold at
H2' 4 c.
The opening bulge was under the in
fluence of news from the character
hereinbefore mentioned and the slump
wan on profit taking by longs. The
northwest was mill a bujei but, follow
ing the opening, the market fluctuated
as the pressure from longs was heavy
or merely easy. July, following this dip,
rallied to 83;V5y3 IJc,1 J c, whereupon longs
went after more protits and sent it back
to 82' 4 e. Again there was a rally, July
this time touching 8334 c nud most of it
was held. The market waw pressed back
to N2 7 s c but firmly resisted and closed '■/■
over yesterday at •S5 1./\ The Modern
Miller reported harvesting of winter
wheat progressing favorably.
Corn was strong the greater part of
the session. The close was strong at an
advance of V l' V' over Yesterday at 41',
@41%e.
The oats market was strong and
active. July gained V over yesterday's
dosing at 24V-
Most Remarkable Rise.
Chicago, June 23.—July wheat was
quoted at 66% C on the board of trade
during the session of June 4. At the
close today the same option was selling
at 88c. This was 4 7 b above the closing
price of .yesterday. No such advance
has been scored since the attempted
corner engineered by Joseph Leiter.
Iv the advance of 2ljjc during the past
lit days there have been no evidences of
manipulation, contrary to speculative
proverbs that "the market only ad
vances on manipulation; its natural
course is downward."
It has been the most remarkable rise
in the history of the exchange.
"Pyramiders" have had everything
their own way, because there has been
scarcely a setback since the market
crossed 70c. So failures have resulted.
There was an extraordinary small short
interest at the beginning oi the advance
and this was hastily covered. Foreign
ers had hedged against considerable cash
stuff in this market, but of course this
kind of shortage entailed no financial
loss. Stories of big winnings are thick
about the exchange, and no such wave
of prosperity has visited the commis
sion men in a decade. Causes for this
advance in the price of the "staff of life"'
are found in the parched spring wheat
tields of the great northwest, where
authorities declare not one-third of the
crop of former years can be harvested.
A bumper winter wheat crop has already
been assured outside of Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan. For the satisfaction of
those who may be in fear of starvation
it may also be stated that the visible
supply of wheat in the public granaries
of the Faited States exceeds 45,000,000
bushels. These are the grains of com
fort left to the bears, who also have the
assurance that every month iv the year
records a wheat harvest in some country
of the globe. But at present a sort of
"bull fever" is running high and the
Chicago wheat pit is flooded by tele
graphic orders from every part of the
world to "buy, buy, buy."
July wheat opened 2\e to 3%c higher,
at BGc to 87c, advanced to 88c. declined
to BGV-' and then rallied to 88c, closing
at the last given price—4 v- over yester
day. This, in cold figures, is the story
of a wild, panicky and decidedly bullish
market. The opening was rather start
ling in its strength, but throughout the
session the market had the appearance
of bullishness gone wild. An advance of
3d at Liverpool and a mans of messages
reporting an almost total fuilure of the
spring wheat crop iv the northwest
brought in buying orders by the hun
dreds, many sections of the Dakotas
and Minnesota and Manitoba reporting
total failures. Others told of thin,
spare, sickly crops, good for from three
to six bushels to the acre. There was
still no indication of rain in the north
west, while the temperature remained
high. There was little talk today of im
provement if good rains should fall even
at this late date. Statistician Snow's
estimate of a crop of 75,000,000 bushels
for the three states, should there be no
further deterioration, was considered
too high by many today.
At the opening the pit was jammed
with buyers, and sales were made all the
way from 86c to 87c. Heavy profit
taking by longs kept the crowd from
going perfectly crazy. There was ap
parently no big short interests. Longs,
following the opening, forced July back
to 85% c by dumping large lots on the
market. Then the market bucked with
a vengeance. The northwest was a
heavy buyer, as usual, and foreigners,
with whom most of the short interest
apparently lay, covered freely. July,
under this buying and some let up iv the
realizing pressure, rebounded to
Longs crushed it back .to 8('»v: again,
but permanent dips were not on the
schedule, and the market closed entirely
recovered, July 4 1 * over yesterday, at
88c. This is an advance of 12v-since
last Saturday. When the crowd left the
pit July so.d at 89c. The cash business
was a small consideration. Trade in
corn was active and broad. The great
wheat strength was unquestionably the
influence, as country offerings were
heavy, receipts liberal and the shipping
demand poor. July closed I,. to %c up.
Oats were active and strong. Wheat
was a great bull influence, but northwest
damage to the crop and loss of hay and
pasture in that territory are important
factors. July closed :'v over yesterday,
at 2.-)', •.
Price Went Down.
Chicago. June 25 —It was a wild day
in wheat, a battle between the bulls and
the bears, in which the latter, for the
first time in weeks, scored a victory.
July opened at 87' 4 to*7',, sold between
88', and K\\. closing 2 cents under
Saturday at 80. There was some dis
pute as to what really were the opening
figures, so many trades took place at
the sound of the gong. Some made the
initial change from 88 to 86%. Certain
it is that ail sorts of prices were paid in
a jumble. Two minutes after the open
ing July changed hands at 88J£
In the field of news the bulls retained
their old friend, the northwest crop
wreck. Manitoba had rain, but Minne
sota and the Dabotas reported dry,
scorching weather—the kind that burns
up vegetation jn short order. One Da
kota reporter had the temerity to men
tion the appearance of the fly. What
the fly would find left to do was not
mentioned.
On the bear side of the bulletin board
was the Liverpool weakness in the face
of the 4 T S advance here Saturday, the
excellent conditions prevailing in the
southwest, and the heavy world's ship
ments which included 2,000,000 bushels
from Russia. The visible was also on
I the bear side of the fence, showing an
increase of 1,*.U8,000 bushels. The
southwest said "look out for a big
' movement," and declared that harvest
ing was progressing in many sections
j under the most favorable circumstaneep,
I with wheat enough to go a long ways
' toward making up Ihe shortage caused

COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, AVASHINGTON, JUNE 20, 1900.
THREE DAIS OF SPORT
Klherlou's Anuual Picnic Wan
a Great Success.
Speakers of All Political Parties
Stood for the Causes They
Represent.
The three-days Elberton picnic, June
21, 22 and 23, was the most successful
and enjoyable of all the annual meetings
yet held. The crowds were larger, better
humored and better behaved than at
Home times in the past. Not an arrest
was necessary, though people of all de
grees and from every nook and cranny
of the wide Palouse country were there.
The snorts were generally entertaining
and the means of enjoyment various.
Many were camped upon the grounds
throughout the entire three days and
made of the occasion a pleasant outing.
An attractive feature of the picnic was
the setting apart of a day each to speak
ers of the three contesting political
parties.
Thursday, the opening day, was
allotted to the democrats. A barbecue
of roast ox and good speeches from the
democratic rail of the fence were features.
Addresses were made by S. J. Chad wick
and Wm, Goodyear, both of whom did
all the justice to a weak cause possible
for any to do.
McDonald Hoasted Them.
Judge Wm. McDonald was the chief
speaker on Friday, the populist day.
Instead of roast beef he handed out a
roast to Candidate Chndwick, whom he
characterized as neither a friend of the
people nor even a faithful democrat.
Lucius Cassius Crow, the apostate popu
list who is running for state senator on
the democratic ticket, was also held up
to the political scorn of the multitude.
The judge opened with the statement
that the very causes which are today
working the ruin of the republic brought
about the downfall of the Roman em
pire—the monopolies and the money
changers. He said the populists at
< Imaha were the tirst in this country to
combat these elements. He explained
direct legislation and the imperative
mandate as the right of the people to
vote a man out of office when he refused
to obey or enforce the laws of the land:
that the Romans used it 130 years be
fore Christ, when they also constructed
national warehouses in which to store
the crops and confiscated corporation
property and gave the people homes.
I'.ryan was eulogized as too big a man
to beloDg alone to one party and his
nomination by the populists endorsed.
The judge spoke of his own candidacy
for re-election and his promises then
that no loan company should ever har
vest the crop of a mortgaged farm so
long as he was on the bench. He de
clared he would make an active cam
paign and denied that the populist
[tarty is dead.
There wore certain men among the
populists, the speaker said, who were
promised office by the democrats for
betrayal of the party and its landing in
the democratic cam;). Many democrats
were packed into the populist conven
tion and organized for fusion. This
brought his attention to Lucius Cassius
Crow, whilom populist state senator,
who is now seeking the same place on
the democratic ticket.
"It was indeed an affecting scene,''
said the judge, "when our own beloved
Crow took three steps at a time down
the stairs of the populist hall and two
steps at a leap up to the democratic
hall, where he arrived just ia time to
hear himself nominated. Chadwick and
Crow help make up a lovely ticket, and
all who follow will eat Crow in the bleak
days of November. The money loaners,
all the bankers but one, the corpora
tions und their agents are all support
ing Chadwick. Many of the delegates
to the convention which nominated him
went there to vote for another, but as
Fast as they appeared they were met by
these corporation agents and money
changers and pulled off to his support.
"Chadwick is not even a good demo
crat. In 180G he fought Bryan all over
this state. Governor Rogers has said
that when Chadwick was state land com
missioner that, for a mere nominal con
sideration, he conveyed valuable state
lands to the Northern Pacific railroad
and others. The governor said he was
a dishonest man, but I think the gov
ernor was mistaken. Chadwick simply
knew that the people had for years been
robbing the railroads. He saw a chance
to even up and did so in this way.
"No man knows Chad wick's politics.
He reminds me of an incident which hap
pened when I was a preacher in Mis
souri. There was a man whom I had
great hopes of converting. One day 1
went to him and asked how he was far
ing spiritually. Placing his hand upon
his well rounded stomach, he said:
"Well, parson, I'll tell you. I have a
mighty queer feeling in here. Some
times I think it is religion, and then
agin 1 don't know but what its worms
a workin on me.' So it is with Chad
wick with his politics. It is not Bryan
democracy to be mixed up with banks,
corporations and loan agents."
J. H. St. Lawrence, the blind orator,
followed and announced himself a Bryan
man for one reason only—on the ex
pansion policy. He warned the audi
ence that Bryan could have no effect
either upon tne trust or money issues.
"We have a trust law now," said he.
"Bryan might make another, but it will
be simply the same old thing."
The speaker announced his belief in
the principles of the social-labor party
i and his intention of becoming a member
when this Bryan campaign is over. He
preached covernment ownership of all
public utilities. He told of the Ellens
burg populist convention of four years
ago. "God help such a populist con
vention!" he shouted. "The democrats
were there in force. I have voted my
last fusion ticket. Fusion means damna
tion to the populist party. The late
county convention was packed with
democrats and demo-pops 89 to 73, but
the 73 fought gallantly "until midnight,
; meeting demo-fueo-amalgo-absorpo ar
j guments in their turn and prevented the
grand turn-over of the populists to
democracy planned by the traitors."
The speaker predicted a mid-road
ticket for the county.
Republican Half Day.
Saturday, republican day, drew by
j far the greatest crowd of the meeting.
\ Several thousand people were on the
grounds from every part of the Palouse
country. The only discord was created
i by the frightened democrats, who were
not contented with the full poMemioo of
(lit* day and the platform already used
up. The knock kueeH of democracy
trembled and they put up a job to
Meurp half of the republican day by an
nouncing Frank Graves of Spokane to
follow the address of ex-Senator John
B. Allen.
The train carrying Senator Allen was
late and did not arrive at Elberton un
til about 11 o'clock, too late for his ad
drew before dinner. Consequently, Mr.
Allen's speech was postponed until 1
o'clock. Though the republicans should,
in common fairness, have owned the
day, the time usurping demagogues of
democracy attempted to create capital
out of a story as fake as their faith that
the republicans were afraid of Graven
and were endeavoring to shut him out.
Senator Allen, though hoarse in voice,
made one of those happy, pleasing and
forceful speeches for which he is famous
and admired in Whitman county. No
nasty, ill-natured flings marred its
beauty, but beauty of diction and con
vincing argument and oratory found its
way to the hearts of the people and left
an impress which the attempted sarcasm
of Mr. Graves failed to eradicate.
-Mr. Graves was followed by C. 11.
Dodd for the republicans. He warmed
the hearts of the people and scorched
the sarcastic democratic speaker and
his calamity howls in a forceful and tell
ing argument.
KILLED IN A RUNAWAY.
Aged Man Thrown From a Buggy
Near Palouse.
Henry Quint, father of Ronnar Quint
of this place, was the victim of a runa
way accident last Sunday that cost him
his life Friday, says the Paloose Repub
lic.
Mr. Quint came in on the train from
Warduer Sunday to visit his son, whom
he had not seen for some years, and
started to walk to the Farley place
where he had been informed he would
find his son. On the way, however, he
met Dan Farley, Jr., who was driving
to town in the buggy, and he informed
the old gentleman that his son was in
town, and took him in the buggy with
him. When about half a mile from
town the team took fright and started
to run. They were going down grade
and the efforts of both men to stop them
were of no avail. When near Gray's
mill the buggy was overturned and Mr.
Quint thrown against the fence, striking
on his head and shoulders. He was
carried to his son's home in town and a
doctor called. The head aad shoulder
were badly bruised and it was some
hours before he regained consciousness
The buggy was smashed to atoms, but
young Farley escaped with a few slight
bruises.
CALI; TO POPUL.ISTS.
Colfax, Washington, June 26, l!)00.-To the
Voters of Whitman County, Washington:
We, your committee appointed by the peo
ple's party convention to select three named
for all county offices, to be submitted to the
primaries on July 10th, l!»0O, from which the
voters are to select a candidate for each office,
have done all in our power to faithfully per
form the duties assigned us and have found it
practically impossible to comply with your
request in a manner satisfactory to all. We
therefore recommend that th 9 voters proceed
to hold primaries on July 10th, l'.iOO, and
elect delegates to our county convention who
believe in the principles of public ownership
of public necessities, to be held in Colfax
July 17th, 1900, at 10 o'clock a. m.
The two old parties are going to fight out
the question of imperialism in this campaign.
But the imperialism which is to be dreaded
by the American citizens is the imperialism of
private corporations, which are now ruling
this country with a rod of iron. The im
perialism which permits us to enjoy no com
fort in life without paying tribute to some
private corporation is the most damnable and
crushing in its character, and we believe there
is no escape from it but by public ownership
of public utilities and necessities. We, there
fore, invite all voters who believe in the pub
lic ownership of all public utilities to join
with us in our primaries and assist us in this
fight against the imperialism of private cor
porations. William McDonald,
Chairman Executive Committee.
