II WAGNER'S. REVIEW ii
Morning Grain Letter.
Cables wheat 4 to 1 lower. Cause
of decline Is given by Broomhall as
weakness in Winnipeg, rains in India,
favorable Argentine crop prospects,
and Indication of heavy Russian ship
ments for the week. With Canada un
derselling us, we cannot hope for any
helD from the foreigner and must
look for a bull incentive right' In this
country. With the probability remov
ed of Canadian wheat coming to this
country duty free, we believe the de
cline is nearing Its windup.
Corn cables 4 higher. Principal
bear factor Is the large local stocks.
We believe, however, husking returns
will make a bullish showing from now
on and much fewer on the buying side.
Oats It will take a decline in sup
ply to increase values. Farm con
sumption, owing to price, must be
enormous.
Provisions 23,000 hogs in Chicago;
market slow, 5c lower; top $8.50. Dif
ficult to advance on account of the
weakness in the grain markets and
opposition by the packing interests.
Liverpool Situation.
Liverpool, Oct. 16. Easier Amer
ican cables and the weakness in Win
nipeg , yesterday caused realizing at
the opening in wheat, and values were
to lower, and following the open
ing there was a further decline of 4
to W. Th'e pressure of Manitoba of
fers, further rain reported in India,
favorable prospects tn Argentine, and
belief in large7 Russian shipments this
week helped the decline. At 1:30 the
market was weak and 4 to 1 lower
than yesterday.
Corn opened with a steady under
tone and unchanged; later advanced
4 to The easy American cables
were offset here by the closing firm
ness in Buenos Aires. There was an
improved demand for spot with the
plate grade 4 higher, and the fore
cast is for lighter Argentine shipments
this week. Later there was some de
cline from the high in sympathy with
the heaviness in wheat. At 1:30 prices
were unchanged to 4 higher than yes
terday. Legislation Market Factor.
Th5 uncertainty about currency leg
islation is withdrawing from the mar
ket the support usually coming from
big interests. Heavy export business
reported early and later denied. Pri
mary movement showed less than 300,
0i0 bushels received at 10 points. On
the other hand, European ports and
market centers report good accumula
tions. Yesterday's weakness is more
mystifying in the face of a strong

AD the news
Argus.
all ih time Th i
stock market - Argentine and other
crop news is still too optimistic Fur
ther liquidation and lower prices are
the immediate probability.
Corn Mostly affected by the contro
versy on Argentine importation.' Our
Mr. Wild writes from Liverpool that
American corn is retailing from 16 to
33 per cent higher than Argentine. As
an offset, to this, our New York office
wires us that dealers there prefer the
Argentine corn to American. We still
feel that the above news is not suf
ficient offset for this year's short yield
and favor purchases. ,
Oats Latest Winnipeg advices are
that Canadian oats are above export
basis. Further liquidation also due
here.
Provisions Further recession, in
prices ig natural sequence of present
hog run, weak grain markets and bear
ish attitude of big interests. )
Stocks We had a glimpse of the
situation today. There is a pronounc
edly' better feeling in banking circles
on the immediate money situation.
Bankers are not so unalterably oppos
ed to the currency bill. The New Ha
ven railroad will be permitted to dp
necessary financing. Private borrow
ing of Steel, Reading and Amalgamat
ed Copper indicates a stubborn short
interest-
Cotton Cotton is now on new fight
ing ground, and we think the bulls
have the advantage. The movement
is heavy, but so is the export demand..
Around Nov. 1 last year cotton futures
advanced a cent a pound, with spin
ners buying. Spinners are now more
bare of stocks than they were then,
but cf course prices were naturally
lower, also the crop was materially
larger.

WOMEN IN FIGHT
OVER PUTERBAUGH
Peorians' Assail Mrs.. Medill
McCormick for Assailing
Candidate.
LIVELY ROW IN MEETING
Other Bench Nominees' Aids Denounce
Suffrage , Issue of the
Progressives.
Peoria. 111., Oct. 16. Mrs. Medill Mc-i
Cormick of Chicago encountered op
position from prominent, Peoria women
yesterday when she addressed a meet
ing in the interest of the candidacy of
Arthur H. Shay, of Streator, progres
sive nominee for justice of the su
preme' court at next Monday's special
election.
Mrs. George T. Page, a candidate
for state regent of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and Mrs. Harry
M. Pindell. wife of the Peoria editor
who is slated to be United States min?
ister to Russia, interrupted Mrs. Mc
Cormick to take her to task for her
criticisms of Leslie D. Puterbaugh,
republican judicial nominee.
The interruptions caused a lively
row and served to stir up much re
sentment in Peoria over the progres
sive attacks upon Mr. Pu'erbaugh,
who is the only resident of this city
in the three cornered fight, for the
fifth district seat on the supreme
bench.
Both Mr. Puterbaugh and Charles
C. Craig o Galesburg, the democratic
nominee, made ; speeches in Peoria
last night. Both held aloof from the
woman suffrage issue injected into the
campaign by the progressives. Other
speakers at both, the republican and
democratic ' meetings held it to be
manifestly improper for a judicial
candidate to Commit himself in ad
vance as to his ruling on the consti
tutionality of the suffrage law.
' STATU OFFICERS AID CRAIC
Secretary of State Harry Woods
and State Treasurer .William Ryan, Jr.,
Epoke at meetings with Mr. Craig last
night. The democratic state admin
istration is exerting its utmost in
fluence to elect the Galesburg man.
"I firmly believe that Sir. Craig will
be elected," aid Mr. .Woods following
last night's meeting. "I do not see
how the prospects could be brighter."
The democra'ic leaders were in con
ference late last night. It was under
stood that plang were made for man
ning the polls on election day. The
democrats are understood to be well
supplied with campaign funds. Fi
thermore state patronage is said to be
available for use In adding to Mr.
Craig's strength.
The Peoria newspapers arc bi'ter in
their denunciation of the attacks of
progressive women upon Mr. Puter
baugh. who for 23 years has served
upon the bench in this circuit.
The Peoria" Star says that "Mrs.
McCormick, with the insolence of a
member of the privileged class, laugh
ed in Mrs. Page's face and with true
woman's indirectness wriggled out of
the matter by declaring she had said
nothing against the judge's character
whatever, having only attacked his
judicial record."
About 50 women gathered at the Y.
M. C: A. building to hear Mrs. McCor
mick. Hugh Weston, secretary of the
progressive organization, ' introduced
the speaker, Mrs. McCormick declar
ed that Judge Puterbaugh never had
decided one case in the interest of
humanity during his long service on
the bench. She said that during his
service on the appellate bench he had
reversed numerous cases in the inter
est of corporations.
MRS. PACE TO DEFENSE.
Mrs. Page jumped to her feet. She
declared that Mr. Puterbaugh's record
as a man and a citizen was not only
longer than that of Mr. Shay, but of
superior quality. Mrs. Page asserted
that the meeting had been arranged
under false pretenses. Mrs. McCor
mick replied" that the records showed
Mr. Puterbaugh's decisions had been
against, humanity.
Mrs. Pindell then took up the cud
gel for Mr. Puterbaugh. Although a
democrat. Mrs. Pindell s husband Is
supporting the republican candidate
because of his belief in nonpartisan
judicial elections.
Mrs. Pindell asked If Mrs. McCor-
pick would publish a. record of the!
Puterbaugh decisions and the legal
reasons therefor. Mrs. McCormick
replied that she could look up the rec
ords for herself.
Mrs. Page declared that she would
willingly sacrifice her chances of elec
tion as state regent of the D. A. It.
rather than have permitted Mrs. Mc
cormick's Btatemens to go unchal
lenged. 1
