until there is such a decrease prices, al
lowing for occasional rallies, will have a
sagging tendency. Stevens & Co.

LAMSON BROS. 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.

STEVENS' COTTON LETTER.
By Special Wire to Lyon & James.
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

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.

Money Will Ho Made Easily in Macon
During tho Next Four
Weeks
THOUSANDS LOOKING EVERY DAY
For til. 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.
Nothing appeals bo strongly to a mother’s
affection as her diURtiter Just budding Into
womanhood. Following 1* an instance: “Our

her from school and abandon her muslo les*
sons. In fact, wo feared fit. Vitus dance, and
arc powlllvo but for au invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affliction. Wo
had employed physicians, but sho received no
benefit from them. Tlie first of loi>t August sho
weighed but 75 founds, uud although she hoe
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
