will
. Distinctly liellcr conditions of
have appeared of late and are n
trade
llecteil
in somewhat larger employment of labor,
in larger transactions and in continued
luiying of material fur manufacture. A
great part of the change is due to those
resistless laws of supply ami demand,
which take wheat where it is wanted and
void where it is wanted. India is wait
ing for cargoes of wheat on the way
from Pacific, states, just as Australia and
South America were some time ago. The
surplus usually available from India dis-
- appears and the surplus from Russia and
European countries is reduced, accord
ing to late estimates, 7."i.OOO.ouo bushels.
Happily, this country has a supply which
official accounts have not correctly jncas
ti red. if actual measurements do not
jirwitJy mislead. Western receipts for
'the week were "..V.MI.IHMI bushels. A
'feature -of huge importance, too, is the
unusual foreign demand tor corn, which
is a rarely failing sign of dclicicnt crops
abroad, where other grains are used in
stead when wheat becomes scarce and

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
New York. Oct. !. Hradstrcet's review
of the New York stock market tomorrow
will s::
Liquidation of speculative holdings and
renewed activity by bearish operators
gave an unsteady appearance to specula
tion and caused pretty general declines
in prices this week.
The professional interests, which w.-re
responsible for the advance, were ready
to take profits on the long side ami to
work for a reaction in prices that would
not entirely facilitate operations for the
short account, but would furnish oppor
tunity for the acquisition of lines of long
stock on a more advantageous basis. The
bearish reappearance of stringency in
money ami the development of the facts
that iheie is a demand for gold for, hoard
ing purposes, had an unsettling influence
011 sentiment. On the other hand the
conditions of the grain and cotton mar
kets resume assurance that the favorable
condition iii our foreign trade will con
tinue and the renewed decline 111 exchange
lias been promptly followed by further
cniraireinelits ill London for shipments to
this country. The total amount of specie
shinned from the other side during the
week is !?4.:!.-0.li'llt and foreign exchange
is at a level, which offered assurance that
the inurement will probably continue
Among other favorable itims of news is
the commendable disposition of western
railroads to settle their trouble and ad
vance rates, while the rale war at the
south seems to be a thing of the past.
The decline of American Sugar stock,
though a feature of the market, was the
result of circumstances peculiar to the
company and to the trade, the principal
factors lieing the weakness of the raw
siurar markets and the report that a large
financial interest was about to establish
opposition refineries, tin Friday the mar
ket, with the exception 01 Migar. was
stronir till the last hour, when renewed
weakness apcared on bear selling, based
on the lack of suimort and the fear of a
bad bank statement.

A WARM RECEPTION AWAITED
IIIM AT SIOUX FALLS,
WHERE HE SPOKE.
To a Large Crowd Said Quantity Was
us Necessary as Quality in Con
nection With Money Will
Speak at Fargo Today.
Huron, S. I)., Oct. SI. Sioux Falls gave
Mr. Hryan his first real reception in Da
kota. It drew on three states for
crowds, Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota,
and the crowds were there. It was the
most enthusiastic meeting" the nominee
has had in any place of its size in the
United States. Rcttcr preparations had
been made, and n procession of no mean
proportions was drawn up at the depot
when the special train carrying the Hry
an party pulled in. It was raining, and
the day was not one calculated to inspire
enthusiasm or to swell crowds. After
luncheon Mr. Hryan was taken to the
bicycle track near the city. Hy this
time the rain was pouring in torrents,
but when he reached the stand he faced
the crowd standing in the mud waiting
to hear him.
His speech was mainly devoted to ex
onerating Senator Pcttigrow from
charges growing out of his bolt from the
republican party.
The train was tieariy two hours late
when Huron was reached. Here Mr.
Hryan spoke to a good sized audience
ami was frequently applauded and
cheered.
Aberdeen was not reached until late
tonight. A big demonstration had been
planned, but owing to the lateness of
the hour was not carried out to its full
extent. Mr. Hryau made i- brief ad
dress. After his Aberdeen speech Mr. Hryan
returned to Ins car and retired tor tlie
night, sleeping his way through to largo,
N". D., which will be reached early to
morrow morning.
BRYAN AT SIOUX CITY.
Sioux City. Ia., Oct. St. William J.
Bryan arrived in this city fiom Marshall
town at 10:25 this morning, one hour be
hind schedule time. The fact that the
train was late was caused by the numer
ous demands of the people nt the stations
along the line to see the presidential can
didate. Mr. Bryan arose at 1 o clock, but near
ly all night crowds gathered at the sta
tion to see the train pass through and, if
possible, to see the candidate. At some
stations where the train stopped the peo
ple went so far as to put their heads, in
the windows and cheer Mr. Bryan.
At Onawa, 111 Mona county, a large
crowd had gathered, the tram stopping
for about teu minutes, and .Mr. Bryan
went out on the rear platform and ad
dressed the people. It was bitterly cold
ami a strong south wind blew directly
into the speakers face. ihe crowd
went wild with delight.
When the train arrived at Moux Lity
the candidate was greeted by a large
crowd at the depot, and he was escort
ed to the large train shed of the union
depot, where he spoke for thirty minutes
to an immense crowd. It was an en
thusiastic reception and seemed to
nlensi. Mr. Brvan. After the speech lie
was taken directly to the Milwaukee de
pot, whole a special train was waiting
to take the party to moux runs.
At Sioux City, tlie first stop ot tlie nay,
Mr. Bryan was given a greut reception.
Not on v the population 01 tne town turn
ed out in force, but their numbers were
increased bv the big delegations from
Nebraska, just across the river. They
gave their fellow citizen a great greet
ing, and under the sheds ot the union
station here Mr. Brvan spoke from a
platform which was thickly packed wit 11
listeners.
Mr. Brvan said:
"Fellow Citizens If our opponents are
uht in the deehinition that the gold
standard ought to be maintained in this
country until foreign nations consent to
its abandonment, then, m.v tnelids, the
election of an advocate ot tree coinage
would be an iniurv to the country, it.
on the other hand, we are right in our
contention that there can be 110 perma
nent relief until we have restoied silver
to its ancient place and permitted 11 10
i.nii.v tlie mints 011 eiiual terms with
mild: 1 sav. if we are right, then the
maintenance ot tlie gold standard is a
ei-inw. iiL'.iinst the American people. In
the discussion of a great quest ion like
this there are many things wliicli tlirow
lb'lit noon the controversy. It you go
into court and find a witness who is will
ing to clearly state what lie Knows, who
gives bis testimony without evasion, you
believe he is an honest witness. 11, on
the other hand, veil tind a witness who
deals iii ambiguous phiascs. who at
tempts to evade Questions, and who nt
tempts to cover up ins mean nou .
it' ii ! nbtfiil character, you doubt his
honestv and sincerity. So, in a contro
like this, when our people who ad
v.eaio free coinage openly declare
what t hev want, how they want it, aim
vvlw.n thev rxnect to get it. when they
give you reasons for their faith, you have
a rignt to nave connueucc m inc iium-nj
of their purpose. But when our oppo
nents trv to secure a gold standard witn
out daring to advocate it; wnen inej
talk alHiut sound money when they mean
mill- when thev talk about all honest
dollar when they mean the most dishon
,t ilnlhir there is iii this land today, you
have a right to question tneir si nccriiy
Mv friends, men who nave1 a cause
til l-lllill T IHt V IMMlt'W Illll il IMlil IIIV t i
lit 1 11 iwi - .
to state their belief, and when you him
written on republican banners that
obrnse. "sound money." you have a right
to believe that the men who use the term
use it because tney are not wining 10
tl.o neoole what thev mean by sound
mnm,v We have bad sound money
and we have had the free coinage ot sil
ver nt 10 to 1. which gives us a sounder
nionev than they can have under the
gold standard. We lielieve in a safe
limine nl svsteill. nut we peiieve nun m
order to be a safe financial system it
must have a foundation tiroad enougii
for that svstem to rest upon. Our oppo
nents tell' von that they want bimetal
lism w believer foreign nations will con
emit l our linvinir it. anil vet they st
cretlv use every effort to fast-n the gold
stniiilard upon the American people
"Let me ask you this question, and you
repe t it to the advocates of the re-
iean platform: Is the gold stall-
1 .rood tbiiiL-? Mv renublican
can
nnblicn
.1.,-,! n imnil tbinir? Mv renublica
friends say the gold standard is a good
thing, but the republican party promised
tn pet rid of the cold standard as soon
as they eonld. Dparting from their
platform, the republicans will tell you
that the gold money is the best, because
it is good all over the world. My
friends, no money is good which rises in
value and robs the producers of this
country to the benefit of the bondholders.
They say the gold standard is honest.
No dollar is honest which rises in value
and gives an unearned advautage to the
man who loans money and imposes an
unjust burden on the man who agrees to
pay it. There is something necessary in
money besides quality. There must be
quantity as well us quality to money.
The republican party tells you to build
up a financial structure on gold, and then
tells you that gold is invisible. 1 do not
know whether you can get gold in the
banks here or not. 1 know that in St.
Iouis three weeks ago the leading bank
ers signed and published a statement
that they would be unable to furnish gold
because of the ngitation in favor of sil
ver, but that they thought they would
be as soon ns there was a settlement of
the money question. It is a very frail
system that trembles at tlie breath of
discussion. It is an insecure founda
tion which slips from under your com
mercial fabric as soon as anybody begins
to agitate, tiive us free coinage of sil
ver and let gold and silver be alike the
standard money of this country, and 1
will proTIiise yon that no agitation in
favor of the gold standard will destroy
the foundation upon which it rests."
There was a dodge made into South
Dakota nt Elk Point, and while there
was nothing in siglit but fields of corn,
several hundred farmers were waiting
for the arrival of the candidate, and to
those he spoke for two minutes.
A jntiiii was taken back into Iowa at
Ilawarden. und here the farmers sur
rounded the car and showed more en
thusiasm than at any place on the west
ern trip. 1 here were not so many ot
them, but those who were there yelled
and shouted, and then shouted and yelled.
Mr. Bryan made a brief address.
Canton. S. D.. was the next stopping
place, and in the five minutes there Mr.
Hryan spoke briefly to a crowd ot tann
ers, who heard lum with attention and
applauded him.
Sioux Falls was reached shortly titter
p. m.
TIRED OF WEYLER.
Spaniards Want Him Retired Campos
May Come, Bringing Home Rule.
New Orleans, Oct. S). A special cable
to the Picayune from Havana says:
I have been reliably informed and
have seen a copy of a telegram sent by
the Spanish element, the conservatives,
against Hen. Weyler, and asking his re
moval on the ground that his continuance
111 ofhee means the sure loss ot tlie island.
The telegram further recites that a large
part of the Cuban element will be willing
to accent home rule with the appointment
of another captain general. There is pos
itive assurance from iriends here that
(ien. Martinez Campos is willing to re
turn to Cuba, but. will not return until
he brings home rule concessions with
him. An understanding has existed be
tween the reformists lieie and the gov
ernment whereby President of tlie Cabi
net Canovas will send Martinez Campos
anil the home rule conci ssions if there is
a surrender of some of the insurgent
forces in the held, sufficient to allow the
government to state to the public that
the revolution is weakening and that 111
itself means tlie final end of Cuban rev
olution. Should this be true, 1 have
every reason to lielieve. it. will be a blow-
to the insurgents, tor which tlie coming
of Campos the Cubans will not be
butchered and persecuted as 111 tne time
of Weyler and ninny wavering ones will
once again come to the sidu of Spain.
Spanish leaders whom I have seen do not
deny the existence of an understanding
between the home government and the
leaders of the conformists and home rule
party here and will support the govern
ment 111 granting Home rule at. tne present
time. It is well known here that Canovas
and others of the cabinet are not on the
best ot terms and as a result the grant
ing of home rule concessions may cause
trouble, as the Spanish masses may ro
vj.lt Tin ,iiilv subitum nt the problem
outside of the granting of home rule is the
iss ot tin. island, the i:ranting ot Home
rule concessions will for a time retard the
ultimate end. Should the home rule con
cessions lie promulgated it is possible that
Maximo (iomez will publisii a decree or
dering the shooting of all the Cubans
who accent, approve or support the home
rule party's plans.
'the defeat ot I. HI. liemai and -wen.
Melquizo a few days ago will probably
bring the ministry crisis much quicker,
and all tends to the belief that the Cano
vas ministry will fall soon, perhaps lie
fore it can grant the home rule conces

THE BURDEN OF
A DUST STORM.

Winds.
Blown dust is a general and familiar
nuisance to Housekeepers over ine enure
west. A minimum estimate, verified by
direct observation, for the quantity of
dust settling 011 floors during such storms
is about a fourteenth of an ounce of dust
on a surface of a square yard a day. A
maximum estimate made 011 tlie basis 01
the above newspaper accounts would be
at least rive pounds to a square yard of
surface for a storm lasting twenty-four
hours. If we then suppose that n House

two feet long has open crevices, which

Tennessee Delegation Called McKin

Chicago by Telephone.
Canton, (., Oct. 0. Of all enthusiastic
demonstrations since the St. Louis con
vention, Canton has never seen the like
of today. The "rebel yell" was heard
for the first time 011 her streets. The
visit of the old Confederate warriors
from the Shenandoah valley brought
thousands of people to town. The Vir
ginians' were met by the Union veterans
of Canton, several hundred strong. They
came with badges inscribed "No north,
no south. 110 east, no west; the Union
forever."
Ann in arm with the old boys in blue,
the veterans in tlrcy were escorted to
the tabernacle, where the (irand Army
of the Republic and the Woman's Relief
Corp served them dinner. They had a
new version of an old song and sang "We
ire coming, Father McKinley, two hun
dred thousand strong." From the tab
ernacle to the McKinley home the streets
were lined with expectant people. 1 hree
hundred Cleveland veterans joined in the
escort. Ihe bands played "Dixie.
America" and "Marching Through
(Jcorgia." Tlie crowds of people 011 the
way joined in the yells of the marchers.
Maj. McKinley spoke from a tempora
ry reviewing stand covered with the na
tional colors.
Maj. McKinley personally greeted all
his visitors, standing 011 his porch, while
they filed past him.
ADDRESSED TENNESSEEANS.
Canton. ()., Oct. !. Bright sunshine
lent its cheering influence again today to
the enthusiastic delegations. After weeks
of rain this added beauty to the day's do
ings. Two notable and unprecedented
features in presidential campaigns distin
guished this eventful day. One is the call
of the Confederate veterans of the Shen
andoah valley from Virginia on tlie re
publican presidential nominee, who car
lied a musket as a Federal soldier, and
another was the listening to the business
men and trades demonstration in Chicago
by Maj. McKinley at his home in Canton.
While the McKinley household was at
breakfast this morning, Local Manager
Hoffman of the Central Union Telephone
company placed two groups of a half
dozen each of telephones, ear trumpets,
etc., six in the major's library and a like
number in Mrs. McKinley 's sitting room.
These were connected with a long-distance
telephone wire from Chicago, where
receivers were located along the line of
the parade.
Major and Mrs. McKinley's friend
were invited to hear the sounds ot entliil
siasm from Chicago, which was madi
somewhat difficult by tire constant cheer
mg about the house. J he household was
notified by Chicago to be in readiness to
come and hear joyful sounds at Chicago.
At lll:.2 Maj. McKinley was called to
the 'phone. An Associated Press repre
sentative listened at one of the trumpets.
Mr. McKinley showed great pleasure
at the volume of enthusiasm that reached
him over the 400 miles of wire. 1 h
music of the bands and the cheering of
the crowd was very plainly heard and
one could scarcely comprehend the inter
veiling distance.
Ihe east I ennessee delegation was
cheering about the house st the time.
Ihe highly decorated and polished hick
ory stump sent Maj. McKinley by Sheriff
Green of Knoxville and other east Ten
nessee admirers, was dedicated 011 tin
McKinley porch this morning. Threi
coach loads of east Tennessee republicans
organized by Sheriff Ciwn and in charge
ot dipt. Y llliaiu Rule and Maj. E. C
Camp, vice president of the National Re
publican League, came with greetings
and congratulations, lireetuigs were ex
tended by ('apt. Rule and responded to
by .Maj. .McKinley standing upon th
stump. Mr. McKinley said:
"Mr. Rule and My Fellow Citizens of
East Tennessee The hurior of this call is
mine, not yours. 1 appreciate that you
have come a great distance, almost the
greatest distance of any delegation which
has visited me to pay your respects to
me. not personally, but rather to testify
your devotion to the principles of the n
publican party and your determination
that those principles shall triumph at the
lection on the .trd day ot .November. 1

which I made to the people of your sec

thus so bravely struggled for the right

today I very much regret and only ex

of national prosperity. (Applause.) Ihe
record this year of Tennessee should be
iu keeping with the principles emblazoned
on her state seal agriculture, manufac
ture nud commerce.
"Men of Tennessee, do you stand by
the principles enunciated by the immortal
Jackson? Do you favor protective tariff
and honest money? (Loud cries of
'ves, ves, we do'.) I am glad to be as
sured' by you that you do and that you
have not forgotten the force of its ex

tion of the enforcement of the majesty

Are yon willing to 'compromise' the great
principles he so steadfastly upheld 111
defense of the constitution, the courts
and the citizen? In whatever other
particulars we may differ from that
sturdy old soidier, he declared for three
essentials to the well being protection,
honest money and constitutional au
thoritywhich lie at the very foundation
of our political fabric and without winch

prosperity: in which every good citizen
must heartily concur. There seems to
be those today who would Ik? willing to
heck the progress of free government.
There are those who seem willing to as-
ail its courts, the safeguards of our
liberty, who seem unwilling that the
United States should exercise its lawful
sovereignty within its own jurisdiction.
Can it be possible that they control our
lections and involve us in greater peril
than any we have yet had? Men of
Tennessee, to my mind there is no
oubt. ami I appeal to you to steadfastly
uphold the great safeguards of our na
tional government. Stand by the party
which seeks to promote our national
prosperity ami national honor, and re
buke the party of all parties by your bal
lots that would impair the one or destroy
the other. On these questions there
hoiild be no geographical, sectional or
partisan divisions, but a united and nn
broken country and a common vordk't.
I'o 11s alike, whether of Ojiio or Tennes
see, 1 exas or Illinois, .Maine or uanior-

'unfilled the interests of our common
oiintry, our whole country. It will be
a reproach in the future to wilfully vote

the fair name of our great republic. We
must, above all, respect ourselves and
our government and preserve throughout
the honor of the government at all
hazards and all costs. We must unite
