Cassidy &. Gray's Market Letter,
WHEAT Liverpool was Arm.
French crop news was very bullish,
the northwest markets were on tha
rampage and that started buying here
at stiff advances over night. Local
bulls and commission houses were the
best buyers, although outside orders
were very plentiful, with the north
svest taking a hand in the operations,
due to damage reports that were ft
a serious enough nature. to. compel
sorts to cover. The market was very
nervous. A great deal of long wheat
was realized on but every decline nrtt
with ijew buying sower that waa auf-
mUi
W
OTTTJMWA COtfklEB
flcient to carry the futures pto new
high levels. The trade are very rouoh
excited over spring wheat develop
ments and undoubtedly stiff advances
will be witnessed tomorrow on which
it will be well enough to realize pro
fits. although should sharp recessions
appear we would again favor pur
ohctses.
CORN—There wer« rains through
different portions of Nebraska and
scattered elesweher, but were not suf
ficient to prevent a strong and higher
start with the buying generally and
little for sale. It is still dry and ho*,
through Illinois and crop conditions
are certainly pessimistic. What long
corn that was sold was eagerly picked
up with tho closing very stong all
around with sentiment most bullish.
OATS—Commission houses had
buying urders and shorts covered free
ly on the Ohio state report that made
conditions 65 against 77 in Julv and
71 last year. Considerable --roflt-tak
lnk was noticeable but crop reports
from all directions especially from
the northwest were very unfavorable
with the closing strong at top priceu.
While we look for higher prices,
would wait for reactions to buy on.

SUSPECT TAKEN.
TO COUNTY JAIL
THOUGHT TO Bfl PERPETRATOR
OF DASTARDLY DEED AT
EDDYVILU3.
OH IN
The information was filed against
McNevin by the Rocli Island com
pany's agent yesterday in Justice
Ayres' court. Accompanied by the rail
road detective, Huffman drove to Ed
dyville to get the prisoner, who had
been incarcerated the jail at that
place, having been previously arrested
by the marshal of Eddyville. He was
brought back in the rig with Huffman
and the marshal of Eddyville and tak
en to the county jail at 3 o'clock this
morning.
McNevin is the man suspected of
attempting to wreck the Rock Island
passenger train a short distance east
of Eddyville Sunday night.. The ob
struction placed upon the track to
wreck the train, was a railroad tie.
In order to make sure ol the effective
ness of the obstruction the tie was
bound to the rails with heavy wire,
which was wound about the tie and
each rail three times and thus made
fast.
There is little doubt but that, the
tie would have done its work were it
not for the fact that the pilot of the
engine was set too low to
clear the obstruction. Striking
the tie, the pilot was crushed,
but was effective In throwing
the obstruction from the rails,
and the train did not suffer from
the contact. The damage was- slight
and the road kept, the matter quiet
and their secret agents began to work
Immediately on the case with the re
sult that McNevin, who is apparently
a tramp, was arrested and on the tes
timony of Eddyville people thought to
be the man.
The hearing has been set for to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock in Jus
tice Ayres' court.
