CHICAGO, September 12,?''Wheat at

by the bulls to-day on" the Board of

thero was an exclted dernaiid for wheat
with- fe4v traders venturhwj to sell. Those
who wished to buy shouted blds of 2
cents a bushel above the prices prcvalllng
at tho closo of the market Saturday,-and
the quantity that nnybody would sell
even at such a templlng advanco was ox
tremely limltcd.
Ot winter and sprlng wheat produced
this year ln the Unlted States, it was
contended there is bnroly enough for
bread and seed, If every bushel of It 4vas
avallable, whlch Is not possible, nnd the
country is therefore face io face wlth
tho neceaslty of bringlng in forelgn wheat

PORTLAND, ME., Septomber 12.?Tho
Reipubllcans to-day ca'rried tho State for
Wllliam T. Cobb, of Kockland, tho can
dldate for Governor, by a plurality of
about (30,000 over Cyrus W. Davls, ot

Completo . rcturns will not be recelved
for sevei-al days, but 300 out of 522 crlties,
towns and plantatlons givc Cobb 69,705;
Davls, 38,399. The same places in 1900
gave Hlll (Republlcan) S1.70T; Lord (Dem
ocrat) 29,302. These returns show a Re
publiean galn of about 15'per cent. and
a Democ.ratlc galn of about 31 per cent.
over 1900. Tho voto for Governor will
probably be tha largest slnce 3SSS. The
Republicans had prodioted a plurality of
18,000 for Cobb and tho resuit 1s very

cratlo lenders stated that if the Ropub

should regard itasa rjomocratic vlctory.
Up to a lato hour to-night no stato
