Some selling of December gave us a little easier market right after the open ing. Market ruled easier all of the forenoon sellng' .down to 79 for Minneapolis December. The May is tho stronger' option today, duo to good buying of 'the' May by commis sion houses and the pit crowd were fair buyers ot May. Cash wheat de mand not quito so urgent today. Tho stock market this morning opened steady at about yesterday's closing level. However, the action of the market Is rather Irregular and we look for' a continuation of this Irregularity for some time, as It Is too much to expect that confidence should bo restored In so short a time after tho recent unfavorable devel opments and financial failures and unless something more permanent nml serious happens wo can but re llcrato our advice to buy the better railroad stocks on all recessions.

M?, Bank at i.n,.i,r( J2M00; ' has FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR CASES YELLOW JACK. Twenty-Nine Deaths in San Antonio Thousands of Visitors and Many Residents Leaving the City Death in the Slums. Laredo, Texas, Oct. 22. There aie 35 new cases of yellow fever and 33 deaths. Total to date, 474 cases. There have been 29 deaths In San Antonio, and the big rair has been called off. Twenty thousand visit ors are leaving the city and also a great number of tho residents. The fever is still confined to the plum dis tricts. Following the unhappy experiences! of the past three months, there will beyond doubt occur a complete re Juvenntlon of the sanitary conditions prevailing In both cities. There Is n revamping and overhauling going on of old-time charges, of favored sec Hons of the two communities having always ready for use more than 10 times the sewerage facilities for the same number of people in the poorer quarters. Millions pf gallons ot water have been wasted In the aristocratic residence districts on lawns and streets, while the poor In other sec tions have been compelled to use water from wells and rain water from the roofs, or move out of the city. This poverty of water and drainage facilities has been forced upon the poorer quarters under the plea that the tax-payers could not afford ex tensions of the water system Into the rent-paying districts. There are open threats of retalia tion by fire, and the night patrol sys tem has been trebled within the past month, which In itself is expensive. As a self-defensive measnro, re gardless of expense, tbe city w II, during the coming winter, extend Its water system and other advanced sanitary measures to the farthest limits of tho city.

If Pendleton has been an open town It was certainly tight last night when Mayor Halley, escorted by tho tallest member of the pollen force, vislied the various places whom It wns alleged that games were, or had been running. Mayor Hailey was much exercised jtblerdny over the report that tho town wns open and started out to In vestigate. He has repeatedly given orders to the police that they were to close all games In the city and keep them closed. Ho had left the matter to them, thinking thai tnoy would do as he had ordered, and when It wns asserted that tho games wore more open than they had been for some time, he called tbe mem bers of the force in one by one, last night, and gave them a fatherly talk straight from the heart. He remind ed them of their orders and of their oath and cited to them tho provis ions of the law which makes It a mis demeanor for an officer to overlook the existence of gnmbling and pro vides n pennlty therefor. Orders to the Police. . He also promised them that If they did not bring the gamblers to the mark and close the games. If running, that they would get better acquainted with the law than they had been for pome time. Ho also reminded the police that tho way to catch gamblers nml gambling was not to tell anyone that they were after them until they went. l-act night, however, the gamblers In anticipation that something wns doing, did nothing. Every place in the city wab as dark and as silent ns the tomb. The tables were push ed back agulnst the walls ami the chairs weie on the tables, while the knights or the cloth were to be found on the sidewalks standing In tbe frosty night, shivering In the open, that the police could see that they weie Innocent of all wrong. The town was so virtuous and quiet that a smnll boy could not have rnketl up a gnme or maiuies. Hut while the games were shut, the evidences were left. In several of tho saloons and rooms were cards bearing legends to the effect that "straights and Hushes were allowed before the draw" and that a "flush' beats two pair." Also tho pleaslug Intelligence was conveyed to the pub lic that you could gel Into tho game at 25 and Wi cents a stack and that "seats were lor the players only." Both "stud" and "draw" were an nounced and roulette wus also evi denced by the outfits that were round. Informations Coming. Today the mayor, acting s the prosecuting attorney, will (lie a batch of informations against the gamblers that have oeen spotted by the police and they will be taken at once be- row the court for trial. After their cases have been disposed of, tho own ers' and proprietors of tho houses per mitting the games to run, will bo hauled Into court to show why they should not pay tho penalty for their misdeeds. Mr Halley is after them and promises borne interesting and entertaining times In tho gambling line lieroro he finishes with the cases that he now lias on hand. Statutes Against Gambling.
