GRAIN LETTER. By Special Wire to Lyon & James. Chicago. Dec. 4.—Most everything in the way of news that came in this morning was bullish. The foreign situation, how ever, was the main feature on which the market opened at a rush at an advance of % to ft a cent. It was soon apparent, however, that holders had too much com pany, for within a very short time there was a flood of wheat for sale and prices in consequence gaven way, even the unu- suallf good export trade falling to more than steady the market. Cables were unusually strong, Indicating an advance of 1 to 1% cents per bushel In both the English and French markets. Clearances from Atlantic ports for the day were an- couraging, being 350,000 bushels. Brad street’s report, which came In about noon showing an increase, of 1,039,000 bushels In the world’s visible supply appeared to have a depresslrigeffect, though realizing sales seem to have been sufficient to offset bull Influences and the principal cause of the decline. Corn continues to sympathize with wheat, that Is futures. The May future ruled firm with the early atrength in wheat i<nd eased off as that market de clined;' but firmed up again on the light estimate. Primary arrivals, 582,000 bush els,! arc about as last year, while tho local shipments, 425,000 bushels, exceed receipts 309,000 bushels. The range was narrow and the market uull, with De cember and January inclined to drop to a largo discount. Packers were free sellers of provis ions early, doubtless being realizing sales, and with but a mode rat o demand from commission houses, principally for out- Rlde account, the market lost tho late advance, closing dull end heavy.

Now York, Dec. 4.—Today demonstrates that the market can be put down an well ns up. It seems that big receipts can have their legitimate efTect, as well as be entirely Ignored, as has been tre case »io often of late when prices have ad vanced. Today It waa more of a logical market. Prices dropped 9 to 1 1 points, with a brief Interruption due to covering of shorts. The close here whs steady af. ter sales of 17S.700 bales. The depressing Influence was not only large receipts, but als* disappointing Liverpool advices, larg er offerings by the South, selling tot lo cal. New Orleans* and Liverpool account and a falling off in the outside specula tive demand. There was not so much *• *am up. The enormous crop movement fc j* made outs. 1 era reflective and rather dubious as to the expediency of taking tl>e long side until recelpta fall off. Eu rope is taking less cotton than✓recently. The spot t&les at Liverpool today fell off to S.f’iJ bales. Manchester waa slow and Oliver declined. A bearish semi*weekly •satemea: ot interior rvweiou U expected GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Chicago, Dec. 4.—The opening of the grain markets today was a promising one. Wheat was up from % to 4 a cent from the closing quotations of yesterday, the other cereals exhibiting equally as much strength. In wheat the advance was not substantial, short sellers and holders alike taking advantage of the situation and selling freely. Among the noted local professionals who disposed of wheat in liberal quantities were Ream and Linn, and they naturally had a good following. Pardrldge was also an active seller. Bradstreet’s report of the world’s vlslblo supply brought about a spurt at noon, but It was evident that tho rally it caused was being waited for, the offer ings multiplying at every slight fractional advance until the market finally yielded, prices dropping back to the lowest point of the session, the decline being chocked by buying against ’’puts.” May opened from 61% to 61ft, declined to 604 and closed at 604a%—4 a cent lower than yesterday. Cash wheat trading was at an advance of 4 a cent puer bushel over yesterday, but tho nominal close was weak with futures. Corn.—After previously resisting all ef forts at depression, corn gave way to selling in sympathy with wheat during the latter part of the session. May orn opened at 494. sold between 494 and 494, closing at 49ftaft-u shade higher than yesterday. Cash com was firm and higher, prices ruling In that branch of trade at a higher level. The average advance was 4 a cent. Oats did not decline much, owing to the extremely light volume, of trade. At the close May oats were 4 of a cent lower than yesterday. Cash oats were firm. Trading was at an advance of ftaft a cent, the close being nomlnully easier. Provisions.—The product market was wtttfout feature and prices drifted down ward from lack of support. The live hog market waa weak and lower, which fur nished the excuse for weakness early. Later, the direction taken by wheat was imitated by provisions, and the close was at the lowest point of the day. The world’s stocks of lard were said to have Increased 36,000 tierces during • the pant month, which was an Item In favor of weakness. Closing prices were 224 cents lower than yesterday for January pork, 10al24 cents lower for January lard and 124 cents lower for January ribs.

Tot.gn.pU'. boat Word—Dill Yon Find It Teiterdny t— 51.0, toy They Old—Como Sntnrd.y and Cat tho Money, If Yon Win. You never saw ai tiling take so In oil your life os the Telegraph’s “cheap column" contest has taken. Everybody seems to be looking for tho lost word. Many say they have found those already glvon out. Muybe they have; If they keep It up and get here first Friday morning with the correct answer, they will get the Tele graph's money. The Telegraph regrets ihat a few people have farmed an Idea that some one on the "inside" will earn this money. This is entirely wrong, and to provo It, notloo Is now given that no one In any way connected with this paper, nor their relatives, even unto the fourth degree of consangu.nlty, cau contest for the prize. This Is dono simply to avoid any suspicion that might arise In the minds of some peo ple, and not to prevent a trick being played by anyotio connected. ,wlth tho ofilco, for It Is as impossible for any one In She office to know what tho sentence la unless ho reads tho “cheap columns" from day to day, as It Is for ini outsider to guess the sentence at the beginning. Only one man In tho Telegraph office knows what the sentence Is, and no ouo else will know It until It Is given In full In Saturday's issue. But let it be understood that no ono connected wth the Telegraph inor their relatives can contest for the prize. It can only be one who watches the cheap columns from day to day, and roads every word printed therein. It may save you coafuslon It you remember that only ono word Is printed each day •his week. Tho sentence will contain seven words. Have your answer In early Friday morning, but not before 7 o'clook. It uo correct answer Is turned in by 10 o'clock Saturday night, thon tho new contest, which will have begun, will be doubled In the amount of money offered; or, in other words, If no one finds tho sentence tills wcok the money o(T*red will bo added to that to be offered next week, and tho win ners next week would reeelvo }20 In stead of *10. Every ono should go to work to earn tho TeloRtuph’a money. Itomembor,' It Is $10 every week from now until Christmas. Tto'.s money will oomo In nicely, and not much work Is Involved In Riming It. Listen to tlio pTnn; Begimlos Sat urday morning and from then on for one week tho TWetrmiih will Insert somewhere among Its “Cheap Column" advertisements a lost word or word out of place. By watching tho cheap col umns Rich (lay for ono woek and read ing carefully every advertisement there. In, 't will be no fllfllcult matter to find tho last word. Seven of these words will form a sentence. To lUusttute: Supposo on Saturday morning the Tel egrapli prints In Its dhcap oohtinn an advertisement llko tho following: XMAS THIX— 1 * * * 5 6 Tho time Is short; prices low; Judicious tho place Is here. And then on Sunday suppose you see tho following: WATCH the columns of the Telegraph advertising for our special holiday offering.. And again on Monday you find this ono: WE do not hide our llsfht under a bushel. Our .tore Is nlwayo, there fore, always crowded. And on Tuesday you «eo this: WE find that It pays pay. to tell tho publlo what wo'vo geft. On Wednesday you may «oe some thing llko this; LOST—An opportunity to Increase our a trade by Inviting the publlo to visit our store. On Thursday It may tnko this form: OUIl holiday trade Is good, beoauso good wo advertised our goods. And then for tho last day, Friday, say something llko this one: JUDICIOUS advertising always pays a dividend. If you are a careful render you havo found that tho word "Judicious" won out of place in the Saturday ad; on Sunday you found that Important word ''advertising" out of place; on Monday you found ■'always"; on Tues day “pays”; on Wednesday "a"; on Thursday "good”; on Friday ''am* dend." The week ha. been completed and you havo found ono word each day, which when nut together form tho sentence "Judicious advertising alwuys pays a good dividend,” which is a maxim true an gospel. If you havo been quick, you havo rushed your slower to tho Telegraph ofilco ut tho earliest hour posulhm Fri day morning. If It was tho first cor rect answer received, you will read In Saturday’s paper tho pleasant an nouncement that you have received *5; if tho seoond oorreot answer, ihnt you havo received *3; and if third, *2. Of course, the scntcnco which begins Saturday will not be the same as the above, and probably nothing like It; so don't attempt to guess until you have road carefully ouch of the seven npers beginning Saturday and con- chiding with Friday morning's Issue. If you are not the first In this con est, don't lie discouraged, for the Tele graph intends to keep it up. Maybe indefinitely, but certainly for four weeks—until *10 has been distributed In this way among the Telegraph's most careful'readers. Now, get ready; the contest will be gin Saturday morning. Then waiteli the •■cheap columns" every day for one week, and you may find youraelf eov- cral dollars better ott thin you thought. No answers will be received before 7 o clock Friday morning. Announce ments of winners made In Saturday’s oper. Simply write your aswer on a postal card, or enclose In envelope ad dressed to "Advertising Department holograph. Bring to the bumness of- flee any time after 7 o'ooclt. The hour at which it Is received will bosenmoed on tho back of the card or envelope and at S o'clock Friday night, Dec. 7, Ino Answers will be examined. Why does (he Telegraph do this? Tho answer Is easy—simply to have the “cheap columns” of tuts paper ■well read. Or, In other words to en able Its advertisers to get the best re- “2" / r ® m Jhelr advertisements. That the plan Is a good one every nd- Oftlsar will recognize, and the Tele graph wlK bo repaid for Its effort tn their behalf. As oan be seen. It will he necessary for every contestant to read carefully word for word and lino for lino in every advertlsemenit In the "cheap columns” In order to feel cer tain that they have guessed tho right words. It will be necessary to read every one of these advertisements ev ery day In the week In order to form tlie complete sentence. Thus every advertisement placed lrt tho Telegraph’s “cheap columns ’ will bo read by Intelligent people, rend carefully to see If It contains the lost word, and In reading tho reader's nlnd will becoino Impressed with whatever la offered therein. The re sults of this sort of advertising will bo prompt and direct. It win at once cause ho Telegraph’s "cheap" advertise ments to be among tho most valuabta In the paper. It will bo well for merchants who wish to get tho benefit of this scheme at the Beginning to get their adver tisements ready early Friday evening. They will bo Inserted at the uaunl rate, with tho positive assurance, as demon- airated above, that they will bo better read, more closely scrutinized nnd more effective In every way than ever before. There la money In It, not only for tho contestant, but for every mer chant Who places his ads In the Tele graph’s cheap columns. A YOUNG GIRL’S FORTUNE. AN INTERESTING SKETCH.
