WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Since Leitei fuiKnl the outsider has
ot lieet. Interested in Chicago prices.
The diaastroua outcome to the man
'ith so many millions was a terrifying
Iwsontotheamall bull. Explanation!
Jid not count Whether Leitcr made
egregious errors or not was of little
consequence. The defeat, after a year'a
campaign, of the bull leader who for
o long seemed the greatest who hsd
ever arisen, took the heart from every
ono who hud believed in bis cause. It
was only lust June that the dlaastei
took place; about four months ago. It
eema a long interval, but it ia reallv a
short one, and it would be remarkable
if it were not atill In everyone's mind.
What new bull leader would now invite
the comiiariaons which would inevitably
bt made; what banking concern would
hazard the criticism which would fol
low any favors toward a buying cam
paign in grsin? Have the losses of last
rammer1! collapse been forgotten yet!
There must be s good deal imaginative
alKiut any bull deal. Not one suvsnce
in (want Is a mere mutter of consump
tive demand or of actual acsroity.
There must be a great deal ol theory
with advancing prices; eopls must
forget piudence, become venturesome,
permit more or less exhiliratlon.
Would it not be like holding a picnic
st the close ol a funeral to permit much
bull spirit within four montha of the
Leiter failure?
The present movement of wheat to
market Is the heaviest evei known 11,
000,000 bushel! received at primary
points last week. There waB never any
inch total as that in six days before.
Is not the speculator doing pretty well
in takimr care of that nrmmiif and In
r - r - 'j ...
also maintaining prices? Is not the fact
mat sucn a volume oi grain is uuanced
and the nrice luatained evi.lem-o that
the volumeof ipeculation is larger than
the very nanow fluctuations would
indicate?

CUBAN MUNICIPAL DEBTS.
Will Ha ASSaaaaa hj the Dailies' Main
New York. Oct, HI. A disiitach to
the World fiom Washington ay: The
I nite.l States will assume the indebt
edness of the Cuban luunicinalitiis.
but will not agree to pay or guarantee
any portion of the general debt.
This statement was mude to the
World correspondent by the highest
Minority in Washington at this time.
There can be no doubt as to Its coriect
less. Hy this receasion from the original
instructions to the American commis-
sion, the Spanish commission has won
a victory. The instructions to the
American commission watt that they
were not to consider or discuss the ques
tion of the Cuban or Porto Moan debt.
The debt of the municipalitiea of
Cuba will be assumed bv the I'nited
States and pro rated among municipali
ties when a permanent government is
established. In making this couceasion
the Americans were actuated by a do
iiro to protect American interests. The
water works, elootric-lighting plants
and other muuicipal improvements
were largely constructed by American
capital, the bonus being guaranteed by
the Spanish government.
State department officials say that
the assumption of tho Cuban municipal
debt win contemplated from the outset
in the event of Spain making the plea
that the indebtedness was incmred in
improving tho conditions of the Islsnd.
This view is indorsed by international
lawyers. As Spain did not derive any
benefit from the money expended in
improvements in Cuba and will not in
future, juiiati say it ii only proper
that the United States ass'imo the in
debtedness for municipal works. The
contract! already made for municipal
improvement! will also be honored by
the American government.
