nmnll ilecr < vi p In tlic world's vlolble supply
caiiscil a slump In xvlivnt today , causing
It to ctofce nt n loss of fiom Ho to > , ic from
Saturday' * ) llgurps , nflcr nn early rise of
ytc. Corn and outs worn but slightly nf-
ferlfid nnd clofcd unchanged , and proVisions -
Visions rnndc plight recessions. Thc'ro was
n very fair speculative trnde In wheat , the
market chancing with considerable rapidity
within from Kto lUc range. The feeling
developed quite nervous nnd prices for
nwhllc were Irregular , but the tone wns on
the whole ca y nnd the cloa- showed Uc
decline. The first trend of the market wns
upward , the feeling being strengthened by
the bolter cables nnd the cold weather ,
which wan thought to be Injurious to grow
ing plnntn. There were apparently a good
many buying orders on the market , nnd In
fllllug them the price was advanced from
65 4c to CC'Jc , which wns ueaily 'Jie better
than the close Sulwdny. Hut the reports
from the visible supply polntn noon began to
show that there would not be pucli a decrease
n bud been expocted. Now York reported
ti Ifcss of only n little over 400,000 bu. , where
750,000 bu. hnd been e.\pt-etcd , and nt one
tlmo It looked n tlioimli there might pos
sibly be nn Increase. Tliln started genernl
selling by the enrly buyers In the way of
liquidation , nnd nlsn ? clllnK for the nliort
nccouut , nnd It did not tnke long for the
prlco to BU elf over le. Hut Inter , when
it wat known thut there ; would be n slight
'clrcrcnpc ' instead of an Increase , us oeemed
probable at one time , the market recovered
up to G5fer. ! The mailfct ruled dull and
easy during the last hour. Jluy sold off
to WiMiC. reacted to 'M&C , nnd closed at
that price.
Corn was very Mlghtl.v affected by the
wheat market. The demand for eastern
Editpmcnt WUH better thuu It lias been for
some time , nnd with the anticipated reduc-
tloiiK In farmers' deliveries , due to poor
roads , were the main reasons for the com
parative Rteadlnesvi of the prices. May
corn at the opening sold unchanged at
30'c ' { , nnd 3U' , ' f. declined reluctantly to 30e
nnd closed with sellers at SO'.ie.
Oats wcro quiet and only a limited busi
ness wus done , prices following wheat Hue-
tuntlons narrowly , liny opened > { , c higher
nt 21Uc , cold down to from 21c to ilUc , and
closed atUJtC bid.
1'ruvlBloriH were rather heavy and dull
during n considerable portion of the' day.
The unexpectedly large run of hogs chopped
a good piece off ptlceH early , but good
support later caused .a rally , nnd prices re-
irnlnod nearly all the loss. At the close
May pork was ttc lower and Slay lard nnd
rlb.t unchnnged.

to the homo account , owing to the fact that

purchnsfs of St. I'nut nnd a few snles of Ixjuls-

were characterized by n. decidedly firm lone
nnd the trend of llRiiren was upward. A fac

BOSTON , Feb. 17. The American Board of
Missions of the Congregational church made
public this morning a special report on Japan
and Japancsa missions. The missionaries ol
the board , It Is raid , unlike some others ,
liavo never been pastors of churches , nor
have they to any great extent acted aa such ,
oven temporarily. Many chapels where no
church organization exists are conducted by
some s-lt-3upportlng native church or else
uy such a church and mission co-operating.
Chapels , however , have been conducted as
purely missionary enterprises.
Ono unique feature of the work has been
. ' \\c \ \ theater meetings , which were much In
'avor when thlng foreign were popular ; but
the big preach , as It was called , has for the
nest part fallen Into dleure. Whatever of
success the mission has had has been due In
13 small degree to the women in it. They
lave done a great deal of work for the edu
cation of girls ; have trained most efficient
women to work among women ; but there has
teen added a regular training school for bible
women , where candidates study half the
year , and go out to service the other montha
The women have exerted great Influence In
Tapanese families. The mission has worked
energetically on educational lines. The Jap
anese churches are not able 'to evangelize the
rreat middle and lower classes with anything
Ike the expedition that they themselves de-
Ire , tl Is estimated that 37,000,000 of the
population of 42,000,000 are still worshipers of
dole.
For a pain In tbe chest a p'lecV , of. flannel
dampened with Chamberlain's Pnln Balm and
bound on over life seat ot the pain , 'and an
other on the .back between the shoulders , will
afford prompt relief. This Is especially val
uable in cases where the pain is caused by a
old and there Is a tendency toward pneu
monia. For sale bv druggists.

SALEM , Mass. , Feb. 17. Captain John
Allen o'f Manchester , Mass. , was brought Into
ourt today to answer an indictment charg-
ng him with embezzlement on six counts.
lo pleaded "not" guilty , " and ball was fixed
t $30,000. The Indictment states the amount
f the embezzlement at $90,000 , of which
70,000 Is said to have been taken from funds
leld by Captain Allen as guardian of .Arthur
) . and Joseph nobprts , and $20,000 from
ho funds held as trustee of the estate of
lenry O. Roberts.
The first announcement of the embezzle
ment several wecka ago caured n decided
iensatlon In Manchester , whore he was well
: nown , both In politics and society. Captain
Allen himself claims to have become heavily
nvolvcd In losses resulting from the nlump
n stocks which followed President Clnvo-
and's Venezuelan message , and It la be-
leved that this explains his present 01111-

H lias long been thought , not only by
omo physicians , but by people In general
hat the common , painful and exceedingly
nnoylng trouble , piles , was practically In-
tirablo by any other means than a surgical
peratlon , and this belief has been tlic
auto of years of needless Buffering , bscause
f the natural dread of surgical operations.
There are many salves , ointments nnd
Imllar remedies on tlio market which afford
ome relief In cases of piles , but the 1'yra-
ild Pile Cure Is' the , only preparation so far
ntroduced that can bo reliably depended
ipon to cure to stay cured every form of
telling , bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs. M. C. Hlnkley of 601 SIlfslsBlppI
trest , Indianapolis , was told by lier pliysl-
lans that nothing but a surgical operation
ottlng betwesn seven and eight humlrod
ollars could cure her , as Bhe had suffered
or fifteen years ; yet eyon In f.uch a case
s hers the Pyramid I'llo Cure accomplished
complete cure. She says : "I knew an
Iteration would bo death to me and tried
he Pyramid with very little liope , and It Is
ot to bevv ondered at tliat 1 am so erithusl-
Ellc in Its pralec. "
Major Dean of Columbus , Ohio , says lie
ot to be wondered , at tliat I am so entiiufil-
uffered for fwty years from plley , and
wcnty ears from Itching piles , and In lilti
aso two packages of the Pyramid cured lilm.
Mr. I ) . B , Heed of Boutli Lyons , Mich. ,
ays ; I uould not take $500 and be placid
tuck where I was before I uecd the Pyramid
'llo Cuic. I suffered for years , and it Is
ow eighteen months sinceI I used It and
ot the lOighteet trace of tlie trouble liaa tc-
irrjed.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is gold by nearly
II druggists at E > 0 cents and M.OO per j > acl < -
je , and as It contains no opium , cocalnn or
tier poisonous drugs , can be used with j > erect -
ect safety ,
No one need Buffer from piles In any form
ho will give Ibis excellent remedy a trial ,
'lude ' by the Pyramid Co , , Albion , Mich ,
uy druggist can get It for you.

CHICAGO , Feb. 17. The recent report *
concerning the return of Dr. Xanson from
the north pole hns Induced n Chicago syndicate
to consider the ndvUUilllty of dispatching a
party nt once to tlic Lena river for the pur
pose of ascertaining tlic foundation for the
recounts received , ns well a to nslst. If pos-
sIMo , the returning explorers In tlielr prob-
fblemarch toward either Yakutsk or Irkutsk.
The Minn selected to lend the party Is Evelyn
U. L'ahhvln , the meteorologist o ? Lieutenant
I'oary's north Orecnlnnd expjtlltloii of 1S93-I.
Much Information concerning the region to bo
travel ted , as well ns spcc'al ' fncll'tles ' for tx-
pcdltug Mr. DaUhvIn on his Journey ta
Siberia , have boon afforded by .Monsieur A. \
S. Savlne nnd Comto do Toulouse hautrce , now
In Chicago , who Is con.K'jtrd with the Si
berian railway.
in an Interview Mr. tiali'wln ' tnld : "llnr-
rlng buch Information concernln ; ? Dr. Nnn-
eoii s whereabouts as won : 1 make the pro
posed trip Inexpedient at this time. I shall t'o
direct from San KrancHco tj Vlullvostcck on
the Pacific coast , more 1'i.in ' R.OOJ miles from
St. Petersburg. From Vladivostok to
Irkutsk , the first -ISO miles will bn by roll-
way nnd the remaining distance by post.
Twenty-two days will b& occupied In mailing
the transit. The time to bo cons'imcd be
tween Chicago and Irkutsk will bo about fifty-
days. "
"Hut suppose you should fall to find Dr.
Xansen ? "
"Well , tliat Is possible , of course. Hut It
Nanscn's party le now somcwhcro In the ,
vicinity of the delta of the Lena or Ycna
rivers , ' It will bo Impossible for them to reach
civilization by any other eoursu than by way
of either Yakutsk or Irkutsk. To move hla
entire party to either ot those points would
reoulro not less than eight wecka and after
an exhausting struggle to gain tlic native
settlements nt either delta , principally that
of the lisna , Dr. Nanrcn would doubtlo s liesl-
: ate to exchange the safety of his men among-
the hospitable Inhabitants of the coast for-
the trying Journey southward until warmer
weather and the opening of navigation on tho-
Lena. Even should It bo demonstrated that
: ho explorers nru not now in that vicinity It ,
s not at all probable that they will be heard
'rom before the cloo of the season In that ,
very region.
"I think It more likely that should Dr.
Vanwjn have reached the pole ho would then :
endeavor to retrace his course by a known
route rather than venture further beyond the
real goal of his ambition. The discovery of-
and at or In the tinmoJIato vicinity of tho-
pole. It seems to mo. would Impel him to ,
'orrgo ' the certainty of doubling the distance 1
oid danger for the lesser satisfaction or
ouehlng upon the north or east coast of
Greenland , which , although n part of his-
ilans , was doubtlct-s so only Insofar ns , after
attaining the polo , ho might not be able to.
easapo by any other route. Nansen or any
other man would return by the safest and'
quickest way. "
"What other objects will your trip In-
lude ? "
"To watch , of course , for the poB3lblo ro- .
urn of Prof. Andrce in his great airship ,
r balloon. As Andree'o experiment is to bo ,
rled In July , close watch If to bo kept at.
11 points In North America as well ns in Eu-
opo nnd Asia for Its appearance. Greater
nterest will probably attach to Andreo'a.
novel and daring undertaking than la now-
nanlferted In the return of Nansen. Neither
Arnet nor eclipse will ever have been antlcl-
atcd or watched with greater Interest ;
"I shall glvo Incidental attention to other
matters of scientific interest and I shall re--
nrn by way of Oriuk and St. Petersburg ,
lie railway being completed between thoae-
olnts. I expect to visit the gold and silver
nines along the route and to investigate1 tho-
ommerclal advantages resulting to the-
/nlted States from the westward route ot
ravel and traffic to the Interior of Siberia *
nd which must also quicken trade betwectv
apan and China ap well. "
LONDON , Feb. 17. The British vice con-
