CHICAGO , July 20. Wheat continued Its
decline today , Influenced largely by the
favorable weather and weak outside mar
kets. Septcmlnr cloned % c lower ; Septem
ber corn and oats closed unchanged and
provisions slightly lower.
Wheat was dull. Opening trades were at
from \c to % c decline , and gradually sold
down from % c to ' ,4c more , rallied from
% c to Vic , 'cased off MtC , changed some nnd
closed steady. The general tone was easier
nnd prices from the start tended lower ,
Influenced by rnlns In the northwest and
cooler weather , the weakness displayed at
dutsldo markets and the rather easier tone
of cables. There was nn Impression that
a good portion of the short Interest had
covered on yesterday's decline. Northwest *
orn and southwestern markets were rela
tively weaker than here , and prlvnto cables
mnro bearish than public. There was a
rally later on. Influenced Rome by the nd-
vance nt New York and report of exports
nt that point. The market cased off again
nfler the rally on the report that wheat
was to be shipped from Toledo ,
Corn was easier for the new crop features ,
while the near-by deliveries were rather
firm. Th easier tone was attributed entirely
to the rains and showers over the corn belt.
Owing to the small movements and moderate
stocks the near futures ruled qulto firm.
The ratigo for December was Glc.
The feature of oats was nn advance of
} ic In July without a trade nnd the " reaction
of Ic. The market was steady. on scarce
offerings , with a range of % o for Septem
ber.
Provisions were lower on liberal hog re-
rjolpts and offerings by packers. The market
firmed up near the close on some buying.
Compared with last night , September pork
is lOc , September lard , 2'j.c and September
ribs 5c lower.
Freights dull at % c for wheat and corn

A dealer gives Urn' following directions for
handling hides : During the warm weather It
Is necessary to have green hides salted promptly ,
or they will spoil , but hides can be shipped
green In Ilia winter season In n frozen state
without salting. To euro n hide properly It Is
first necessary to trim It by cutting off whnt
does not iH-luntr to the hide , such as horns , tall
bones nnd sinews , then spread the hide on the
floor and sprinkle salt evenly and frrt-ly over
the flesh side. In this way pile one hlda on
the other , llesh sldti up , head on head , tall nn
tall. Stretch out tha flanks nml legs so ns to
Klvu the hldi-s n chance to drain. It will take a
week or mom to euro the hides thoroughly.
When the hides have lain over a week 111 nail ,
they will then do to tlo up and ship , after hav
ing shaken oil the surplus salt. For a large
lieuvy hide It will take ulwut a pall uf salt , and
n less quantity fur a smaller hide or calf skin
In proportion to size. Clreen butcher hides shrink
In saltlne from 10 to IS per cent , const-auenlly
palled or cured are worth from 1 to 2 cents moru
than green ,

Wool .Murliot.
IIOSTON. Mass. , July 20.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says of the wool market :
fhero was more wool sold this week ( ending
July 17) ) than In the corresponding week of 1893.
Notwithstanding the stoppage of probably 50
per cent of the woolen machinery of thu coun
try for months , the quantity of domestic wool
of the clip of 1S93 carried over Into the new clip
Is inmller than In any previous year. Among
the causes for this were , no doubt , the law
prices ruling In domestic wools. There Is , at
this time , no more , If Indeed ns much , wool In
manufacturers' storehouses ns there usually
Is In the markets at the beginning of the new
dp , or , wo may say , sixty days since , so It
will be safe to Infer that this stock has been
used. Since the large pales two weeks nKo the
market has been generally firmer , that Is to say ,
It has been easier to sell nt the old prices.
There Is a moderate demand for most nil kinds
of domestic wool ; territories , being cheaper ,
perhaps attract more attention. As regards
prices , there Is no change. The market Is fairly
Btenily and fairly even nt present quotations.
There has been a fair demand for nil kinds of
fleece wool , though , ns remarked last week ,
combing Wools are In the most active request.
There nre n number of worsted mills fairly
busy , and these nre ready to buy stock when
ever the prices nre such ns they approve. There
has been rather more business done In this mar
ket In Australian than for some time previous ,
there having been some demand for both a good
combing nnd a line clothing wool rather more
for the , latter ; these have sold on n basis of COc
to 6Io clean , there having been not much differ
ence In the scoured price of either. There was
n sale of 300,000 Ibs. of miscellaneous carpet
wool ( largely South American ) , price reserved.
The sales for the week In lioston amount to
1.952B35 Ibs , , against a total of 1,881,100 Ibs. for
the previous week , nnd a total of 1,514,750 for
the corresponding week last year. The sales
slncn January 1 , . 1894 , amount to 06,740,935 Ibs. ,
against 72.231,000 Ilia , a' year ago. The Kales for
the week In New York aggregate 889,000 Iba.
The sales for the week In Philadelphia aggre
gate 1.015.800 Ibs.

NEW YORK , July 20. There was loss
activity on the Stock exchange today tkan
yesterday , but the speculation was equally
unsettled nml prices moved Irregularly. The
London arbitrage houses were out of the
market , which was left entirely to the room
traders. About the- only Interesting financial
movement of the day waa the withdrawal of
$2uOO,000 gold from the subtrcosury for ship
ment tomorrow. Ono. million of this was en
gaged yesterday , nnd the notice of shipment
of the additional amount failed of effect on
the sluggish market. The largest transac
tions were In Sugar , aggregating only 25,500
shares. There WE re more sellers than buyers
during the morning , and the price dropped
1 % per cent to 101 , A rally of 7& per cent
followed , after which came a gradual de
cline to the close , the last sale being at 101 % ,
within % per cent of the lowest flguro
touched , and I'/i per cent below yesterday's
price. IMstlllcrs opened V4 per cent lower
and then rose % per cent , but there were no
oustalnlng orders , and the quotations cased
oft until at the close a decline of IVi per
cent bail been effected , mdklng a dccll.io of
1 per cent on the day. Missouri Pacific was
sold down V5 per cent at the opening , which
was quickly recovered , Another raid was
then made on the stock , forcing It down %
per cent to 25 % , rumors bslng put In circula
tion that default would be made In the Au
gust Interest on the collateral trust bonds.
To quiet the fears of timid holders the treas
urer of the company announced he would
cash the August coupons of these bonds at
once , less Interest at the rate of G per cent.
A rally of % per cent ensued , which was
maintained to the close.
The bond market was. In tbo main , dull
and heavy.
The Evening Post says : True to their now
almost uniform experience , speculators who
held stocks yesterday bought today , while
yesterday's buyers sold. Nobody else did
anything of consequence , even London aban
doning the field. Since the selling movement
perdominated yesterday the buyers were very
conspicuous In their trades today , and the
prices generally rose.

-fill DAY , July 20.
The receipts of Block today fell consider
ably short of yesterday's offerings , but still
there was a fair run. There were about
1,350 cattle and 7,350 hogs , as compared with
1,913 cattle and 10,467 hogs on Friday of last
week. For the flvo days of this week there ,
havn been received 8,000 cattle , 35,850 hogs
and 2,053 sheep , as against 15.GC3 cattle ,
4S,03fi hogs and 1,021 sheep for the same
period of last week. This shows a heavy
decrease In the receipts for this week.
CATTIjE There were a few more beef
steers hero today than there have been for
some days recently , but still there were not
enough to make much of a show-
Ing. There was ono bunch good
enough to bring $1.30. The market today
could be called strong nt yesterday's prices ,
though there was hardly enough trading
yesterday to make n market upon which
to base comparisons.
The offerings of butchers' stock were not
largo and the bulk of the cattle on sale wore
common grass stuff that was not overly de
sirable. The larger part of the common cows
sold at $1.15 to $1.50. Some choice heifers
brought ns high ns $2.75. While grass stock
sold very low , the market was just about
steady.
The market on stockcrs and feeders Is not
In a very encouraging condition for the
sellers. The receipts were liberal again to
day , while the demand was limited. The
country dots not appear Inclined to buy
feeders until the dry weather scare Is en
tirely gone. The reported rains In a large
section of the state gave dealers a little
more courage , but the trade waa slow , and ,
If anything , even lower than It has been the
past two days. A good many light stackers
are selling nt prices ranging between $2 nnd
$2.25. Representative sales :
DRESSP.D REEF.
HOGS Whllo there was a pretty fair run
of hogs the receipts fell short of last Fri
day by something like 2,000 hogs. Some
of the early sales were nrado at $1.80 , with
a $4,85 top , but It soon dropped down tea
a $4.70 to $4.75 market. It was not so
much a question of light or heavy weights
that governed the prleo , but .quality almost
entirely. Every one wanted' good hogs.
The bulk of the hogs sold yesterday at from
$4.75 to $4.80 , making today's market B
to lOo lower. Representative sales :

CIIICAOO. July M.-Thc demand for rattle
was nil much Improved , but the market had n
firmer nnd henlthler tone. With scarcely half
as many received ns the day before and the pros-
jiect of moderate arrivals for the next three or
four days , buyers appeared to experience n par
tial renewal of confidence , and while they seemed
Innth to pay any advance , the reported sales
showed price ! ! to bo fully steady. Ojotl to extra
nnd medium weights were stronger than the
heavier kinds , but there were no sl ns nf weak
ness anywhere. Sales nf dre * < pd beef and ship-
plnR steers were Kenernlly at from J3.MUI.4i ) ,
nnd pjns , helfem and bulls mild principally nt
from JI.75 to 12.73. The calf market remained
weak ; stockers nnd feeders were firm.
Th HOB market remained weak nnd unsettled.
The best gnuleit sold within Co of yesterday's
closing nuotittloii ! ! , but rough packlmshowed
n Inns of from lOc to 15c. The latter wen- not
readily sold nt that decline. Clood ta prlin
light weights were active , and so were prime
heavy , but the Kenernl market was dull. The
top nf the market for heavy hogs was 15. II ) , nnd
an high ns J3.03 was paid for light. Tln < bulk
of the tradlnK. however , was nt from J4.SO to

During the first halt of the week under re

that sellers have had' to contend with this year.
Almost the lowest prices ever known prevailed.
Then- was absolutely no shlpplnR demand. The

OARE OF THE BODY IN SUMMEH.
AdvitiitiiRr nml Nnomltr of ttm Dully
Hit III.
Every twenty.fotir hours the human body
loses no small amount of heat by radlllon
from the surface during perspiration , says
Youth's Companion. IJnt contrary to what
mlRht seem probable at flr.it thought , this
loss Is oftpner advantageous than otherwise.
In this way an escape-pipe , so to speak , Is
provided for the .human mechanism , and jtiat
as the escape-pipe of n steam engine Is self-
regulating , so , fortunately , the radiation of
heat from the surface of the body Is under
control of the nervous system.
When the fact Is mndo apparent to the
nerve centers that ( ho tempfrnttiro of tha
body Is getting too high , notice Is Immedi
ately sent along the nerves to open wider
the blood Vessels at tha surface of the body ,
with the result that tha blood Hews nearer
the surface , the sweat glands nro stimulated
to Increased action , more witter Is excreted
by them , and with the water goes off the
heat.
Since It Is by this means largely tlut the
superfluous heat of the body In health ns
well ns In disease Is got rid of , It Is clearly
very Important , especially nt this tlino of
the year , that the pores of thu skin should
never be allowed to become clogged.
\Vlth the Increased nmotint of dust In thn
atmosphere , and Its natural propensity for
adhering to the perspiring body , the dally
bath becomes more of a necosalty during
the summer months than nt any other time
of the year. One should take great care ,
however , th.1t the body temperature Is re
duced us nearly as posslblo to normal before
the bath Is taken. If the temperature Is
somewhat high , nnd the body perspiring
freely , the danger of taking cold will bo In
creased , by reason of the sudden congestion
of the blood In the dilated vessels at the
Btirfaco of the body.
Much of the advantage to be derived from
sea bathing will bo lost , unless the crusts
of salt which form In the pores of the skin
on the evaporation of the water are removed
by subsequent brisk toweling or fresh water
sponging.
Not only Is the perspiration nn efllclcnt
means of removing auperlliious heat , but by
this same channel go out many of the waste
products of the body. These waste pro
ducts are always relatively Increased in the
summer months , and so tt Is doubly Impor
tant that during this trying season we
should keep the skin In a healthy and
cleanly condition.
THE FORTY-FIl'TH STAR.
A Shun of Mul rhniHiy Atliiclicil to the
Clnrioni Union.
Congress has passed u bill to admit Utah
to the union. Utah comes In unquestionably
on her merit' ; for'of all the territories , says
the Now York Sun , she has the largest pop
ulation , and there Is little question of the
magnitude of her resources and her capa
bilities of maintaining herself creditably ns
a state. The census of 1830 gave her a pop
ulation of 207,903 , and there Is good reason
to suppo.-e that Ijy this time she may have
from 225,000 to 250,000 people. In the cen
sus year she had one nnd one-half times
the population of Montana , two and a half
times that of Idaho and three and a half
times that of Wyoming. Unlike many states
that have been brought Into the union , she
already has a large margin of population
above that which Is fltfed as the ratio for
a representative In congress.
As to her resources , the assessed value of
her real and personal property and Improve
ments for last year was $108,860,111 , and In
Incorporated cities and towns nlono It was
? 91,533,352. This last Is an Increase of up
ward of $7,000,000 above the value of the pre
vious year , while the Indebtedness of cities
and towns was put at ? 2,0)8,030 ! ) , a decrease
from the year preceding. The value of the
sheep alone In Utah Is $2,018,128. that of the
cattle greater than that of the sheep , and of
the horses and mules greater still. The ag
gregate valuation of these animals exceeds
$8,000,000. The mineral product for 1S92 was
reported as $10,276,818.03.
If we turn to the undeveloped resources
we find largo deposits of Iron nnd copper
ores and great beds of coal and sulphur ,
of _ asphalt and salt. Agriculture Is Im
peded by the aridity of much of the soil ,
yet there are many fertile and well-watered
lands , and the progress of Irrigation Is
adding to them. The Indians of the terri
tory are all quiet and peaceably disposed.
The schools are thriving , thanks to the
free school laws , and Utah has nn agricul
tural college , 'besides Deseret university.
Above nil , polygamy Is dead , never to be
resurrected either by church or state , and
thus the great obstacle of former years to
Utah's admission Is removed.

An amusing horse story comes from one
of our sporting neighbors , says the New
York Tribune. A gentleman who concluded
to "weed out" his stables and get In some
fresh 'oloed , sent a horse to one of the te-
cent sales nnd received ns the result $150.
A. day or two afterward , wishing to replace
the animal , ho visited a well known lion-e
exchange , and , after carefully examining tl.'o '
stock , llnally selected a good-looking animal ,
which , ho was told , had recently arrived in
a car from the west. The price askjil was
$300. This , although more than the pur
chaser cared to give , was llnally accs'lcd
to , as the animal was a flue , showy beast
and seemed to answer all his requirements.
So , .qulto satisfied with his acquisition , Mr.
X. paid the price and ordered hti new pur
chase to bo Bent to his stables.
"Why , sir , I thought you had sold Tommy , "
Raid his head coachman that evening , when
ho returned homo , and found the man wait
ing for him.
"Well , James , nnd so I did , " answered his
master , "what of It ? "
"A man brought him back , sir , this after
noon , " returned the servant , suppressing a
grin , "and said that you had bought him
this afternoon and that ho was to deliver
him. "
Mr. X. fairly jumped. "Great Scott ! "
ho exclaimed , as the light slowly dawned
upon him. "Yon don't mean to say that 1
liavo actually bought bade my own horse
uul paid $150 moro than I got for him ! " So
It proved , and
A sadder and a wiser man
He rose the morrow morn.
A Cure for C'luonlu Illiirrhoi-a.
I had been troubled with chronic diar
rhoea for over a year when I received a
small botlo of Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy , which I used and It
gave mo great relief , I then procured a
50-cent bottle and took about two-thirds of
It , and was cured. I have taken some twice
alnco when I had a loosncss coma on and It
stopped it at once , I hope It will help
others ns It helped mo. I feel very thankful
to Mr , Stearns , the druggist , for telling me
of this remedy and shull bo glad to have

NU\V YOHK , July 20. K. (1. Dun & Co.'i
weekly review of trade , which Usuea tomorrow - *
morrow , will say : This offeels of the two
great strikes "have not yet entirely worn
off , and mcunwhllo thu disagreement between -
twoen the two houses of congress has made
the tariff uncertain and muro distinct and
Impressive. It follows thut the customary
tests of the condition of business i\re less
Instructive than usual. The llnaticl.il situa
tion Is somewhat less feeble , because thti
exports of gold IMVU been resumed , anil
are $3,300,000 for the wrek. but treasury
receipts have boon $2OI6.3'Jl for customs.
against $2.961,671 last year , and $7,474,653
Internal revenue. against $2,379,518 lust
year. The extraordinary paymunts to an
ticipate the Increase uf taxation onhlsky
are rapidly locking up a largo amount of
cash and taking from the government i > . < rt
of the expected Increase of revenue , whllo
the current loss in customs receipts Is
largely duo to the postponement of Imports
in expectation of lower duties hereafter.
Thus , the treasury has been -saining In
balance at the expense of some loss In
revontu ; hereafter.
Wheat has been skating on thin Ice , with
n chnnco of breaking through and making
the lowest rccc.nl ever known , and has do-
cllned 3 cents for the week.
\Vlth railroads gem-rally blocked In the
wheat belt , It Is a satisfying indlcntlon that
the western receipts are about two-minis
of last year's , 2,27l.BH bushels , against
3,028,379 bushels a year ago , while llio ex
ports from Atlantic ports are Inslgnlllcant ,
only 072,490 bushels , against 2SOSr,27 bush
els last year.1 The enormous visible supply
has less actual weight In the nlarlot than
the prevalent conviction that government , ,
estimates of yield are widely emm-oua. 11
Corn has advanced n shade , with no satisfactory -
factory reason , for the prospect Is excellent
for n largo yield. A great speculation In
oats has begun to liquidate , with the customary -
tomary losses to the wise men who knew all
about It. Cotton has declined a fraction and
Indications still point to a material Increase
of yield.
Though there was nn Increase during the
month of Juno uf nearly a third In the
weekly production of pig Iron and the con
sumption In the manufactures was neatly
20,000 tons ppr week greater than the output
of furnaces. It Is questionable whether any
further Improvement has yet occurred Iti
July. Many of the western establishments
were stoppd because the blockade of rail
roads cut off their supplies of fuel and Imvo
not yet ventured to resume. Others west of
I'lttspurg have been Inactive because the
coke strike continues and the limited pro-
ductlon Is scarcely sulllclent for the needs
of works near nt hand. Dohlnd all ether
embarrassments , there Is a remarkable narrowness -
rowness of demand of finished productions.
In steel rails the ofTlclal statement shows deliveries - i
liveries of only 301,000 tons for the first - * |
half of 1891 , against 571,801 tons for the "SI
first half of the last year.
The most hopeful sign noted this week is
that failures continue comparatively few and
not very Important. The aggregate of lia
bilities for the twelve days ending July 12
was $2C30,30G , of which $1,109,821 was of
manufacturing. $1.4fiS,201 of trading concerns ,
which Is decidedly below the average for the
past half year. The failures this week have
been 230 In the United States , against 467
last year , anil forty-four In Canada , against
twenty-five last year.

NEW YORK , July 20. Oradstreet's Vo-
vlew of the state of trade tomorrow will
say : The disappearance of the great rail
way strike of 1894 , the revival of regular
freight schedules nnd the customary move
ment of _ produce nnd merchandise l > y wntcr
and rail hns done much to restore some
thing like the preceding volume of trade.
The effects of the recent widespread dis
turbances In transportation and Industrial
circles are now making themselves felt In ' 1
bank clearing returns , the aggregate this „ ' ! '
week being only $820,000,000 , a decrease ns
compared with the previous week of about
3 per cent , nnd compared with the third
week In July , 1893 , of 10 per cent.
Kxports of wheat ( Hour Included ) , both
coasts , United States nnd Canada , are again K >
moderate , being only 1,873,000 bushels , compared - - !
pared with 2,377,000 bushels last week ;
5,077,000 bushels In the third week of July ,
1893 ; 2,710.000 bushels In the like week nf
1892 , and 2.330,000 bushels In the correspond
ing week the year before that.
The stock market Is fdvorlsh and dull
In the uiiRettled condition of the tariff bill.
Interest and activity center in sugar , the
street considering the whole fate of the
measure centers In the shape of duties on
that article. Railroad stocks are dull nnd
neglected , the expectation of better earnings
following the cpenlng of the season being
offset by the early losses nnd stoppage of
earnings while the strike was In progress.
'Tho fruit trade nt New Orleans la greatly
Improved .nlneo railroad Inilllq 1ms been
resumed. Among western cities whcro gen
eral trade remains quiet and dull and with
out material change ( except that dno to
resumption of railway tralllc ) are Cleveland -
land , Milwaukee , Minneapolis , St. Paul nnd
DuHitli. Cincinnati and Louisville report
some gain In trade , with a tendency on
the part of currency to move to the country.
Kansas City jobbers find orderH for fall
delivery fairly numerous , und nt Omaha ,
country merchants nro ordering more freely.
The total volume of trade n't Chicago , not
withstanding resumption of railway trnllljj ,
Is relatively light , that for groceries being
most active. Relatively , the most favor-
nblo report comes from St. Louis , where
general trade Is said to have much Im
proved , nnd where the frequency of favor
able crop reports from tributary territory
stimulate nn Improved feeling among job
bers nnd others. At Portland , Ore. , general
trade has Improved , nml there Is n marked
rocoVcry nt San Francisco , although the
volume Is still below the normal.

ber at i'uget Sound for Alexandria , Egypt ,

well as the resumption of wheat exports -l
