Heavy covering by shorts In wheat caused a nervous strong market advances of one to two cents shortly after the opening and which the market did not hold.

The decline was due to liquidation and not to a change in sentiment. Commission houses were the best seller on the advance, buying was general on the strong cables and cash situation, north west markets were leaders in point of strength, there was very little change in the situation. Taken as a whole the weather was favorable for wheat harvesting. Corn market was a quiet affair. There was a disposition In lo cal ctrcies to sell on the weather In the corn belt, but offerings were small owing to the strength In wheat.

There was. a small advance early on the ca bles and wheat strength, but this was lost when liquidation In wheat started. Very little change wa noted in the situation. Oats early and steady without important feature, range prices very small, market influenced to some extent by strength In wheat. There was further selling by some of the local bulls but the demand wa about equal to the offerings.

Trade only fair. provisions inclined to weakness. Selling by commission houses and some of smaller packers and very small de mand resulted In lower prices. The hog situation a little less bearish, CASH GRAIN MARKET WHICAT No. 3 red, 85.

NO MORE GET QUICK DIVORCES Judge Howe Issues Strong Ultimatum on the Subject Des Moines, Aug. 15.

"There will be no more 'get quick divorces' in this court," announced Judge James A. Howe yesterday afternoon when turned down an aplication of a well-known attorney to hear a case which had been filed with the clerk of the court only a few minutes before. "I believe decidedly in what Justice Brewer said before the state bar association in regard to get-quick and secret divorces. It is better, he says, that the papers should be filled with divorce proceedings, nauseating as they are, than that there should be star chamber divorce proceedings and the entire affair enshrouded in secrecy. "There has been a very culpable practice in these courts recently of filing divorce cases and having them heard, by consent, on the very day of their filing.

I will not allow this in my court any more at all. "Wrhen divorce petitions are filed they shall be duly docketed by the clerk and if there any good reasons why they should be heard before the next term of court a motion to advance in the assignment must be filed and argued and then if the court sees fit the case can come up ahead of its regular order. But there will be no rushing through of divorce cases in my court, regardless of the desire of the parties."

CORBETT IS NOT ABLE TO FACE THE, CHAMPION TO A SUC-- CESSFUL -'FINISH THROWS UP SPONGE IN TENTH ROUND Backers of Jeffries Are Confident All the Time That He Was Risking Nothing in Meeting Corbett Corbett Says He is Done San Francisco, Aug.

15. That "youth must be served" again was-exemplified in the ring at the Mechanics' javilion last night when Jeffries, in the presence of the greatest crowd ever gathered on the Pacific coast to see a fight, dug his huge left fist first into Corbett's midsection and sent "gentleman Jim" down to defeat after nine and a half rounds of fast milling, at times highly interesting and again indifferent and tiresome. Taken as a whole, however, and overlooking Corbett's proneness to "clinch, the battle was a grand affair. While this marks the close of Corbett's career it is fair to him to say he showed wonderful courage In the face of over whelming odds. Up to the time of the fetal punch Corbett had a good margin, not only on points, but was to the good on all round work.

The Last Round When the men came up for the tenth and final round Jeff was thoroughly amused by Corbett's wonderful work in the preceding round and in which he slammed the boilermaker at will anu made him look cheap, having brought every ounce of fighting spirit to the surface. Corbett attempted to resume his tantalizing left tattoo on Jeff on the, face, but the champion could not be denied. He rushed fiercely, landed his left a little too far back on Corbett's jaw and a moment later sank his fist into Corbett's stomach. The Last Punch Corbett dropped to his linees, but was up at the count of nine, only to receive a blow with even more terrific force in the pit of his stomach, when, he went down with a crash, his body swaying pitifully with intense pain, snd was counted out. Corbett's wish that Jert would come to him was granted from the beginning to the end, Jeff aJmost entirely abandoning his famous crouch and standing up and betraying science and fleetness of foot that were revelations.

The fight last night demonstrated beyond all doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his class. He showed remarkable improvement in both speed and skill. Corbett, during the first part of the fight was almost outpointed, and the few blows he landed on Jeffries were apparently without a sting. Jeffries looked lighter than usual and the way he moved about on his feet and the frequency with which he countered Corbett's leads astonished everybody. Corbett stood many of Jeffries' blows without wincing and came back promptly, but his blows hardly stung Jeff.

Jeff was not only stronger, faster and cleverer than ever before, but he used his head to better purpose. Jeffries in Good Trim Jim Jeffries arose late this morning, showing hardly a scratch. The blows which Corbett struck had failed to leave a bruise or mark. He takes the victory quietly, saying the outcome could not be different, but the fight lasted longer than he expected. He says Corbett fought a good fight.

Corbett was a sore man In body this morning and much disappointed at the outcome. He says Jeff fought a remarkable fight, and he was greatly surprised at his Improvement In fighting. "He met me more than half way nnd beat me fairly. Instead of becoming tired," Corbett said, "Jeff seemed to get stronger as the fight progressed." Opinions After the Fight Referee Graney "Corbett was very clever but Jeff was almost eflunlly so and showed marvelous Improvement. He practically outboxed Corbett during the fight, with the exception of the.

eighth and ninth rounds. Every blow1 he landed told, and his xuperwelght and strength was bound to win in the end." Jeffries "My fight lust night will demonstrate to the public that I am a better man than I ever whs, and gives the lie to the reports that I am a physical wreck. I trained faithfully for this fight and the result shows 1 am champion. I outboxed Corbett In every round Hiid carried the flsht to him at every stuge of the game. I must say, however, that Corbett put un a better fight than I thought he would.

At no time was I distressed and I felt confident of winning from the first. "I would have put him out in the fourth if my glove had not bursted, and then a minute's delay pnabled Corbett to continue the contest." Corbett "Jim, you beat me fairly. You stand alone. No one can touch you." Corbett said he fought the best he knew how. but admitted that Jeff was too big for him and declared the champion the best In the world.

"I have no personal feeling In the matter. I have fought my last tight," said Corbett. THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS Round One The men came to the renter. Jeff feinting end Corbett stepping lively. Jeff swung his left over Jim's head.

Jim came in quickly to a clinch hihI they were very siow about breaking. Jeff put light left to Jim's ribs and they refused to break. Jim put a right over the heart and clinched.

II was not a good one. Jim did a little foot work but stayed close In and put two fhort rights solidly over the heart. Jeff missed a right for the body snd put It on the chest lightly.

The bridge had been weakened by floods. The baggage car went into a ravine and was mashed to kindling. Most of the passengers were injured in the tourist sleeper which wa sturnedon its side in the ravine. laughingly remarked "Ah." The very-first round indicated that Jeff was very-fast and Corbett did not do any fancy work. Round Two Jeff came up quickly with a left for the head and they came to a clinch.

They would not break, Jim claiming chat Jeff was holdirtg him on. In the break Jeff swung a left on the back of the head, lightly. Corbett attempted a left hand blow at this stage but was too close in. Jeff forced him to the ropes, coming dangerously near the jaw with a left hook. They immediately came to a clinch, in the break of which Corbett hooked his left to the Jaw.

Corbett sent a right and left to the body but got a left hooit in the head. Jeff came back quickly but Corbett clinched. Corbett sent a right hand uppercut for the jaw, but was a trifle slow. They fought carefully to the Jeff making the better showing, as to speed and cleverness, i. Round Three Jeff, missed a left and Corbett clinched.
