A STEADY RISE IN WHEAT.
Prices Heach n Higher Point Than Ther
Hute Keen For 'rvrral " eeks.
Chicago. Oct. 23. —A steady advance
has marked the wheat market since the
middle of the week, attended by au in
creased outside interest, which Friday
suddenly took on the proportions of a
boom and put prices at a higher point
than they have been for several weeks.
One feature of the market during the
early part of the week was the selling
out by the bull clique of their December
holdings on every strong spot and the
taking on of a new line of May. The
changing was done systematically and
its effect was to gradually but surely
narrow the spread between the two op
tions.
Locally the feeling has been improved
by a decided falling off in the north
west receipts. This was said to be nue
to the farmers paying attention to their
seeding and plowing after the breaking
of the drouth. The liquidation of De
cember and the taking on of May be
came more pronounced during the lat
ter nart of week, and on Friday in
terest was fairiy divided between' tile
two options.
Statements in regard to the wheat re
quirements of European countries have
received substantial corroboration
through the greatiy increased export
demand.
December has ranged between 90%
and 94%. The range for May was 88%
and 93%.
PULLMAN IS LAID TO REST.

selection and the casket was closed.
The interment was in the family lot
at Graceland. The trains of the morn
ing brought from every section men
who had been intimate friends and bus
ness associations of the sleeping car
magnate in life. Among the relatives
to reach the city were Mrs. Gibbs and
William Hinton, niece and nephew ot
the late millionaire, who live in Texas.
Many prominent people from Chicago
added to the concourse which filled the
house.
Mrs. Frank Carolan of San Francisco,
the dead man’s daughter, arrived, and

SIX PELICANS SUCCUMB
Death Rate in the Crescent City Shows
No Decrease.
New Orleans, Oct. 23 —At 1:30 p. m.
the board of health reported 10 new
cases and six deaths up to that hour in
this city.
Among the deaths was Patrolman
John Mohr, one of the best known
officers of the police force, and Gustav
Koeckert, member of the printing and
engraving firm of Koeckert & Walle.
Mohr’s case was reported Friday. Koeck
ert was taken ill last week.
Governor Foster has put enongh
money in the hands of the board of
health to meet current obligations, but
if the fever continues more money will
be required to pay all the guards.
All theaters in New Orleans will be
closed next week. The companies that
were billed to appear got frightened and
telegraphed that they would not come.
The Grau company has wound np its
engagement. It came here before the
fever began and has been here ever
since and no member of the company
has had an attack of the fever. One of
its members died from other causes.
There has been a total of 120 deaths
in New Orleans since the fever began.
It is figured, however, that the mortal
ity for the past 11 weeks, as compared
with corresponding weeks of last year,
•nows au advantage of 47 deaths in fa
vor of 1b97. In other words, 47 more
people died in the corresponding 11
weeks last year than did this year.

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 23.—Atacou
vention of Alabama coal miners, held
here, it was decided to organize a dis

America. A heated discussion took
place as to a separate state organization
becoming part ot the national organiza

the convention the national organiza

Coker, a negro of Johns, were named as
organizers to form locals in the state
among the white and negro miners.
