There's Money In It.
That is the point which pur
chasers look at every time; "Is
there money in it?" I you did
not ask yourselves that question
before buying, you would be a
most notable exception to a uni
versal rule. You not only have
a right to ask it, but you have
an equally good ri&ht to a dis
tinct and convincing answer,
and you do not want any squib
bling about it either. If a pos
itive and emphatic declaration
will serve your purposes, we
will give you one: A better
purchase than our 10 Kersey

sibilities. Our profit on them
is trifling; yours is anything but
trifling you get a good deal the

Notes.
Chicago, Nov. 30. The Evening Jour
nal says: 'The wiud-up on the November
corn deal would Rseem to prove the as
sertion that the Chicago end was nothing
but a sideshow to a big corner in New
York. There ure some who favor the be
lief that Cudaby's heavy shipments of
corn to New Yoik to cover hn contracts
there were the cause of the pinch here.
The i advance m price to 81,10 in New York,
against 75 cents in Chicago, is also evi
dence that some persons were having the
scr ws turned on them in the former city
today rather mercilessly, and speculation
was rife as to the fortunate and unfortu
nate parties. Cash grain was in splendid
demand, to fill contracts. The manipula
tors of the corner had to buy, too, in order
to keep up the price. 72 and 74 cents being
the range taken in it. It was a very quiet
but strong corner, shrewdly manipulated
by parties heretofore unsuspectid of the
ability to successfully carrv out a ninch
in that line But that they were favored
OV CirCUmst.innKsi HVPrv nun notnnir .
bv circumstances everv one acknowl
edges."
Uno hundred thousand bushels of No
vember corn were defaulted this afternoon
at the end of the session of the board of
trade. F. J. Ilyan & Co. are defaulters to
the extent of CO.000 bushels, aud it is
rumoied that Blum & Eggleston are
among the films making up the other
40,000 bushels. The reason Ryan & Co. are
defaulters is that an injunction was issued
by Judge Tuley restraining them from
filling an order of Harry Schloss'. Schlos3
contracted to deliver November com when
the price was 49 cents. Ho did not have
the corn stored, and when it became neces
sary for him to pay 75 cents per bushel for
40,000 bushels, ho brought an injunction
suit, on the ground that a combination
had been formed and the price advanced to
an unlawful ligure. The corn was con
tracted to Lamson Bros, and was, in turn,
sold by them. They exuect to pay this
shortage and bring biiit against F. J. Ryau
& Co.
New York, Nov. 30. After the closing
of the Pioduce exchange today a well
known Chicago grain operator briefly re
viewed the corn situation. He said:
"The whole facts -of the case are just
these: There has been a big demand for
corn for export during the last thirty oViys,
and the White corner caused the supplies
of old corn which is the only one that
November contracts could be tilled with

to fall short. OwiDg to the hich price at
which White put corn iu the Chicago
market, when the price broke the corn
shipped to New York was shipped abroad.
The remaining corn in Chicago fell into
the hands of a few buyers there, who ship
ped it as fast as possible to fill the New
England demand. The consequence was
thac it left the Chicago in irket short of
corn. The demand continue !, the market
was heavily oversold and the holders of
cash corn became the holders of options as
well. There was no manipulation in the
matter at all. It was just a natural cor
ner, and three or four people who held
corn made a combine.
"The jump corn made in this mnrket
today was due to a blockade at Buffalo.
Some of the western shippers had sold
corn down here for November delivery,
but owing to the large amount of grain m
transit on the lakes, thero are 10.000,000
bushels of grain of all sorts for which they
cannot find an outlet."
THE RAILWAYS.
Chicago, Nov. 30. The shipments of
eastbound freight from Chicago last week,
including live stock, aggregated
73,252 tons. As compared with the cor
responding week of last year thi3 is an in
crease of 3.000 tons. It is expected that
the volume will reach 100,000 tons per
week before the close of.the year, though
it cannot go much higher thaa that with
out straiumg the capacity of every eastern
line. Aheady they are using so much of
the equipment of their western connec
tions that the latter aie complaining
loudly. All the western ronds aie shore
of cars. They say that they are compelled
to furnish rolling stock for transportation
clear to the seaboard, and that the east
ern lines make little eitort to return
their cars promptlv. The consequence is
that they are suffering trom a scarcity of
cars, although they own sufficient equip
ment to enable them to handle Lheir busi
ness without inconvenience if rhey could
but keep the cars on their own linea.
It is rumored today that the commis
sioners of the Western Traffic association
are to hold a seciet meeting this week for
the purpose of investigating the alleged
violations of the famous presidents' agree
ment. These violations, it is said, have
reference to the paying of unauthorized
commissions on pa&senger business. The
Burlington, the Itock Island and several
other western roads are involved.

AN INTERSTATE CASE.
NEW York, Nov. 30eter B. Wickoft
general freight agent dfthe Central Rail
road of New Jersey, wji was arrested last
night charged with viquftion of the inter
state commerce act. appealed before Com
missioner Shields this morning and whs
held in 5 10 bond, to appear before the
grand jury of the eastern district of Mis
souri. The charge against Wickoff is that
he has been a part to a taiiff rate or
charge for the shipment of locomotive
brakes from East St. Louis to Philadelphia,
aud that he had, with others, discriminat
ed in favor of the American Brake com
pany. A VICTORY FOR KANSAS JOBBERS
TOPKKA. Kan., Nov. 30. The state board
of railroad commissioners has handed
down a decision which is of interast to
country jobbers, as it may be considered
an indication of what the ruling will be
in the case of the wholeoalo grocers against
the railroads.
Edward Benn, a "Wichita lumber dealer,
complained that the Missouri Pacific had
refused to leceive a car load of lumber
from him at jobbers' rates, as contem
plated in the first Wicnita decision made
by the board ou that point. Benn manu
factures lumber aud buys it from other
dealers to sell directly to dealers in car
lots. Ho maintains no yards at Wichita,
but reships in the same cars in which his
lumber is leceived to his customers. Most
of his stock is manufactured or bought in
other states to be old in Kansas.
The car which he offered the Missouri
Pacific came from Texas by the St. Louis
and Sau Francisco aud was offered to the
Missouri Pacific for reshipment to Hous
ton, Kan., at jobbers' rates The Missouri
Pacific declined to receive it, claiming
that as the car had not been loaded it
ichita it did not come within the job
ber' tariff. Because Benn maintained no
yards at Wichita and did not unlo id aud
reload his lumber for rchipment the rail
road held that he was simpl' a transitory
dealer and not entitled to be classed as a.
jobber.
Iu presenting its case to the board tho
railroad pleaded that as tne lumber was
shipped from another suite th it it was an
interstate commerce shipm nt and that
the case was conaequentl ouisido of the
jurisdiction of the Kansas board. The
commission, in discussing the case pre
paratory to miking a de isiou, says:
"The question has never before been
raised, so far as the commission has
knowledge, by a trau-portation company
to which freight is ofiViid in car load lots,
as to when, where and by whom it was
loaded. It is true that refusals have been
Irequent of the privilege of transferring a
car with its burden to a connecting line
for continued tiausponation, but no com
pany has before refund to receive a car
thus buniened, aud certainly not for the
reason set up in this case, that the com
modity had not tyeen forced to pay the
necessary taxes and submit to the vexa
tion and delay of unloading and reloading
when there was no necessity for it except
to force commerce out of Us chosen and
cheapest channel into nn enforced and
dearer one."
As to tne interstate commerce point
raised by the railroad company, the com
mission sitys: "It w.is an original sinp
ment to the extent that the respondent
had no right to raise the question of its
previous history. To say otherwise is to
admit the right of a railway company to
sit as a court of inqu-itiou upon every
shipment of freight offered it and to pass
upon the shipment with reference to the
intent of the shipper in determining the
rate to be charged for its transportation."
The detis on is as follows: "la view of
the facts a they appear in tne hearing of
this case the commission found and de
cided: "First That the complainant was and
is a wholeae dealer and jobber in lumber
at the city of AVicniui, the place of his
residence, and is entitled to the jobbers'
rates ordered by this commission in its
decision of March 29 and June 7, 1SS9. and
referred to in both complaints and answers
in this cae.
tecond That the commodity offered
and refused in this case was in character
and condition such i.s was contemplated
and entitled to jobbers' rates, and tbe de
mand of s. higher or other rate by the re
spondent company was in direct contra
vention of the order and in disregard of
the law and authority of tbe state,
"Third Tnat the respondent railroid
company is hereby directed to receive and
transport at jobbers' raif all and every
commodity which may hereafter be .ea
dered to it by the complainant or other
under hks circumstances and conditioas."
A COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
NEW Yobs. Nov Sk The failure oL

hadsocght in vain foraset There were
sotte in the eompany's ofllce. aul be could
discover no bank account. Heh?uiafjut
hope that there xnight be oiue cull loans,
upon which be might realize enough to
&ar some tcxr accessary expenses. As it
was now, it was impossible to pay off the
clerks in the office.
The World this morning says that the
Field famdy held a consultation yesterday
to decide whether Cyrus W. Field should
give up his entire fortune and s.ive his
son's name from disgrace. Edward Field's
liabilities were ascertained to be much
lamer than Cyrus W. Field's fortune, and
it was decided not to attempt to liquidate.
It was hoped by the members of the
family that some arrangement could be
made to keep the facts iu Edward Field's
failure from the public, and so save the
Field name from being smirched with the
story of embezzlement, theft and forgery.
Two thousand dollars in pew rents of tbe
Tarrytown Presbyterian church, which
were turned over to Edward Field as
trustee, are missing, as is also 535,000 col
lected from the tenants of the Washington
building by Field.
Dr. Eugene Fuller, who is attending
Cyrus W. Field, this morning issued the
following bulletin: "Mr. Field rested
rather better last night. Ho is still ery
much prostrated and his great bodily
weakness."
New York, Nov. 80. This afternoon it
was said that a careful estimate of the net
loss which will probably result from the
failure of Field, Liudlev, Wischers & Co.
is about SSOO.OOO, of which SJOO.OOO will
probably fall on the TJniou Pacific Rail
road company, and the balance scattering.
As an offset to this loss, there are invest
ments which the firm had made in Cuban
sugar refineries, which are estimated at
$300,000. Whatever is realized from these
will lessen the loss first mentioned. The
announcement that the Union Pacific was
ready to take up the bonds from the pres
ent holders created a, much better feeling
in Wall street.
The action of the Stock exchange in
stopping tho delivery of the Union Pacific
bonds was severely criticised on Wall
street, and many seemed to think that a
bad precedent had been established. It
was rumored that D tniel Lindley would
be disciplined or expelled from the ex
change for selling the bonds on the floor,
but the president says that no such action
could be taken without a formal com
plaint, and none has been made.
Assignee Gould admits that there have
been crooked transactions, but attributes
them all to Field, aud says that ho is con
fident that his partners knew nothing of
it. He says that .Lindley could have
handled all these bonds on the Stock ex
change without knowing their history.
Lindley, on account of the illness of his
wife, who is now at the poiut of death,
went direct from the Stock exchange to
his home, and did not go to the office for
weeks at n time. Mr. Gould says that he
has found only $500 of assets, and that
there may be $2,000 available, which will
be used in paying the clerks their salaries.
THETERRILL TRIAL.
Special Dlpatch to the Dully Easlo.
Stillwater, O. T., Nov. 30. The case
of the territory of Oklahoma against Ira
N, Terrill, charged with the murder of
George W. Embree. still continues in our
district court. A jury was secured for the
triul late Friday evening, and tho evi
dence is now being submitted. The open
ing statement on behalf of the prosecu
tion was made Saturday morning by
Colonel T. S. Jones, county attorney of
Logan county, antl for the defense by
Hon. Frauk Dale of the Guthrie bar. A
large number of witnesses are in at
tendance. The jury is composed entirely of farm
eis, five of whom are Republicans, five
Democrats and two People's party fol
lowers. It consists of young men, most
of whom are under 35 years of age and
only two of whom are over 40. Their
names are as follows: George W. Lewis,
S. P. Bittle, J. J. Wmgheld, William
Woodworth, William J. Abbott, Charles
' A. Yreeland, Frank Witteman. b. K.

Elmer Hutchinson ana .John riaim. it is
a thoroughly representative jury and may
J)e depended upon to measure out justice
in the case.
The costs in tho Terrill cases are likely
to reach to.OOO, all of which must be p lid
by Logan county, where the prosecution
was instituted.
The grand jury has made its final re
port. Thirteen indictments were returned
ou the territorial side of the court. In the
case of Ira Miller, charged with killing
I his stepfather, the grand jury failed to

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30 From consulta
tions now takint; pliice among tho repre
sentatives, interesting developments in the
speakership content may re:ult anv day
between this and Saturday. All five of
the avowed candidates are now in Wash
ington, Mr. HiUch of Missouri and Ills
pnncip-il workers having arrived todny
and taken headquarters at Williard's ho
tel. Messrs. Crisp and Mills are ench very
Bingmne of winning, and each expresses
Jthe belief that the contest will Ihj short,
sharp and decisive. Messrs Spnngwr,
McMillinand Hatch express themselves
as of the opinion that the light in tiie cau
cus will be of considerable duration. Each
of these gentlemen aysthat he is i n't ho
fight to the end, and each fees in n pro
longed fight a fair chance of ultimate vic
tor. The friends of Mr. Crisp said today
that he is the second choice of more con
gressmen than any other candidate. They
expect at least 100 vote on the first ballot,
and phophcsy Mr. Crisp's election on tho
second ballot. Mr. Mills was iu excellent
spirits and was confident of his election on
the first ballot. Messrs. bpringer and
McMillin were aiso confident of election.
The latter looked for a stubborn contest,
and, iu such alight, ha believes that he
has a very good show.
The following citizens of Missouri re
giving Mr. Hatch their assistance: John
A. Ivnott, Colonel Cornelius Voorhies,
George A. Muhan, It. N Wallace, John II.
Carroll, Colonel Chris Ellerbe, Grit Prath
er, Alonzo Church and ex-Governor
Brockmyer. Governor Francis and a
large delegation from Missouri aie expect
ed here ou Wednesday to aid Mr. Hatch.
Mr. Hatch stated tonight that he was in
the race for the speakership in good fuith,
not for personal umbition, but as a repre
sentative of his state, and with the abso
lute endorsement of the Democratic party
there. Flo bad no idea of retiring from the
race until the last ballot was wiken Ho
would suj. in the strongest way, that he
had not been, nor did he expect to be, in
any conibh ations affecting any other offi
ces of the house. He was simply making
a dignified cauvass for the speakership,
and based hia hopes of succei on the wis
dom aud sound judgment of the Demo
cratic members of the caucus.
SECRETARY BLAINE.

Blame will in n few dajs, publicly state
his position tMtli reference to the presi

putting a stop ro party factionalism. Tho
telegram says Mr BLiine and President
Harrison have reached an agreement,
which looks to success and not to individ
ual promotion.
Philadelphia, Nov. 39 The Press pub
lishes the f I lowing: "To consult h s

Mr. Blaine's trip to Philadelphia. Ho

that six months and u year hence he would

further that he is as yood a man physically
