The New Comet,
There is a comet In the heavens

The comet 1 nnw n vorv r..
It Is also a new one, and comes from
some far off corner of tho unlversa
on wnat Is supposed to bo Its first
visit in our parts. It was discovered
auout the first of September by Prof,
ferine or Lick Observatory. It was
men only dlscernablo by aid of tho
tolescope, Its tall is apparently 40
minutes or on arc In length, and Its
movements so swift that when ob
served under tho telescopo, a chango
of It position In reference to other
oujects in the heavens, can be noted
within a few minutes.
Tho little stranger is now In tho
Milky Way, that together with Its
smallncss and Immense distance
from earth is what makes It so dim
cult of identification. By and by,
however, It will pass out of the Milky
Way, and it will, at tho same tlmo. bo
nearer tno eartn, and then it will ap
pear much brighter. Of course. It
is Heading ror our sun, around which
it has como for a trln. As It Is noBsi-

Is chance that It might run afoul of
some or tne planets In our systom,

A Million Bushels Yet Remain Un

Cause a Drop Later on, However.
Wheat reached tho high water
mark today. I)cul dealers aro novr,
quoting 53 cents for No, 1 club and ft
cent and a half moro for bluestem.
This Is the highest figure offered
slnco tho market opened.
Very littlo, however, Is boltig offer
ed by tho farmers for sale, but a
fow scattering deals aro roportod to

would not nggregato ninny thousand

amount sold In Uinntllla county will
not roach far alfovo 2,000.000. Thli
leaves tho county with about 1,000,-
000 bushels for salo and 500,000 will
remnln In tho county for milling pur
poses and seed.
Fanners are now confident of soo
Ing wheat reach 55 cents beforo an

ditions will not warrant this confi
dence. Chartors aro tho lowest thoy
havo been for years but tho Liverpool
mnrkeUI aro not nbovo what they
woro this tlmo last year when wheat
was sovoral cents lower than it Is to
day and tho only thing that seems
to ho holding up tho prlco at all In

Tho foreign markets aro said to b

owners aro compelled lo load somo

and aro cutting charters In order to

Tho tie-up of shipping Industries
