CHICAGO. March 8. Wheat developed
Into a bull market late In .the sea-ilon and
closed -Tic higher for July. Muy closed un
changed. Declines resulting from dullness
nnd Irearlsh statistical news were recovered
by buylriK by Letter nnd by houses which
have been heavy Hellers recently. Corn was
firm on tha renewal of shipping business
and advanced U < 8ttc. Oats closed ' , c hlgh <
Provisions were Irregular , pork losing T c
of Its previous value , whllo lard and ribs
showed no change.
A defined bullish sentiment was apparent
nt the opening In wheat. There was a drop
In coiifols. rellectlng the apprehensions ot
trouble between Kngland nnd Hussla , nnd
Llverpoal showed u substantial advance , re
porting also that receipts of wheat during
the last three days had been considerably
below requirements. There seemingly was
also less prospect of trouble between the
United S'ntes and Spain. Plenty of bonrlsn
stulUtlcal news was at hand , but the crowd
was too bullish on the European situation
to pay any attention to this at Hrst. With
u good demand from shorts , July op-nod
J,4c hlghunt &i > ) ic , and advanccil nt once
to t % e. May opened Wiic higher at
$1.0jU 1.05H. T.iu latter delivery , however ,
has almost ceased to cxcltu Interest. At
liUc for July offerings houatns heavier ,
that being "call" price. There wns free
celling against these privileges and also a
good deal of scattered realizing. This tc-
HUlted In a gradual decline In July to U0c.
The heavy receipts hero and In the north
west were Inllneiitlal In this decline. Minne
apolis * and Duluth reported artlvals of 5"J
cars , against S03 last week and 327 a year
nco. Chicago receipts were 133 cars , 73 of
which were of contract quality. Hesldes the
contract wheat from regular sources 51 cars
and 21,000 bu , were transferred from un
licensed houses. A long period of dullness
followed , with prlcen keeping1 within an ex
ceptionally narrow range. About this only
Incident waa thu support given May by
Ix-lter brokers at $1.01 , to which llguro that
delivery had declined. Thlw buying pic-
vented the market from getting below that
Hguro. Around the noon hour the market
began to show strength again. Had reports
as to the crop conditions In Missouri and
Illinois came In. The Atlantic port clear
ances amounted to 471,000 bu. liuylng of
July by a house which has been a heavy
seller lately became quite pronounced , and
as Loiter brokers were at the same time
supporting May and September , prices
slowly recovered. The advance also resulted
In a cons-ldenihla broadening of 'the trade
us shorts came Into thu market to protect
themselves. Predictions of a cold wave to
follow rain were Ignored early , but brought
In some outside buying' orders late In the
session. July advanced to 91Utfi91c ! { nml
left off tit yic. Muy closed at ll.UI-Ji and
September at S04c. !
Trade In corn was unimportant. The feelIng -
Ing was quite , steady all through the ses
sion , the revival In the shipping demand
balng the principal factor. Cable accept
ances were liberal , clearances being put al
CGU.OOO bu. Business was monopolized by
professionals. May ranged from SOVio tc
DOc and closed V&fiVia higher at 20c.
Oats were slow , within a very narrow
range. Trading , was almost altogether of r
scalping order. The feeling was firm , prin
cipally through sympathy wllh corn. May
ranged from 27c to iOMy8c and closed 'Ac
higher at 2Ci27c. (
Provisions were weak most of the time
There wan considerable liquidation through
commission houses early In the day , am :
this , with the decline In prices at the yards
caused general recessions , the weakness be.
Ing marked In pork. A IMtle buying neai
the close caused a better feeling , the mar
ket In a general was closing steady. May
pork closed T'/ic lower at $10.17 ( , 'May Ian
unchanged at $3.1214 and May ribs un
changed at $5.10.
Kstlmated receipts for Wednesday : Wheat
110 cars ; corn , 390 cars ; pats , 203 cars ; hogs

NEW YORK , March 8. The tone of the stock
market was much Improved today ns compared
with that of yesterday , the ground for the
greater confidence In values being the apparent
desire of the Spanish government to deprecate
any Idea that It deslri-d a rupture with the
United States on Its own Initiative or that It
fought to Irritate the United States government
Into assuming the offensive. The effect of this
waa defined In n shalp recovery of Spanish 4s
Iwth In London nnd Paris. Americans also were
much steadier on the foreign exchanges , but
there was nothing In. the eaily quotations from
there to give n foretaste of the harp advances
nt the opening here. The market was quite ag
gressively urong during the whole of the earlier
part of the day , but It Is questionable whether
this was due to any large amount of buying for
new accounts. That the short Interest was
largely Increased yesterday was easily to be
seen und shrewd professional manipulators were
able to discern this morning that the market
was In an oversold condition. The better out
look In the relations between Spain und the
United States made.thc shorts nervous nnd there
was something of a ncranilile to recover nt the
open4ng. The rl ? was defUned to uncover bear
margins nnd the keen demand at the advance
Indicated the measure successful. It did not re
quire much to renew liquidation and the close
waa almost at last night's point. Covering by
belated shorts caused n light stiffening In the
final dealings. Outside of the professional ma
nipulation there was little doing In the market.
Same buying was retried for London nnd
Washington account. The continued movement
of gold , the easier tone of money , yesterday's
flurry being apparently ended , a numhor of divi
dend announcements nnd the statement that no
bond Iseue would be made necessary by the
proposed appropriation of $30,000 , < MM for national
defense , were all factors toward the confident
views on the situation. Operations , nevertheless ,
were pursued with conservatism. Except in n
few specialties changes were confined to frac
tions. Changes In northwestern railway Btockt
were further conspicuously strong In spite ol
the continuance of the transcontinental rate
war. Plttxl.urir , Cincinnati , Chicago St ,
Loula stocks were weak , the common losing !
points and the preferred 2i.
Honda showed stiength In sympathy wit *
stocks , but resisted the late weakness In the
market , except Kansas Pacific consols , wlilo ! '
lost all the early advance , amounting to nearly
2 points. Total sales , $3,123,000. United States
4s , registered , were down 2Vi nnd United States
4s , coupon , were \ - ' lower bid todny.
The EveningPost's London financial cablegram
says : The market * opened steady today on tht
closing of the Consul General Lee Incident , bul
roon Rave way on further heavy forced liquida
tion , prior to the settlement , ami on the new :
of the queen's slight Indisposition. Contois a' '
one time were quoted nt HO ? ; . There wan t
general reaction nt the close. The differences ti
be met at the settlements nr very heavy , how
ever , and oyaslon anxiety. Mining contangoes a
the" * close today were the same as nt the las
settlement. The tone of the market la fiat. Then
was good buying of Americans this nftcrnaon
I am told in the best quarters that the Issui
of the Chinese loan ! will not be delayed , barrlni
rerlous political developments , which are not ex
peeled. It will probably be issued on Saturdsj
or. early next week. Today's sales of eagles b ]
the llark of England surprised the money mar
ket , which was very linn. The Mnlt raised tlv

t01" ' " " ? " ' The scarcity of good cattle
would , under
ordinary circumstances , tend
to make buyers indifferent and the market
slow , but the demand was so active today
that everything sold regardless of quality ,
strong"S badl The Kellcral market
was strong
BKKISTKERS A Rood share of the 128
loans of cattle here consisted of beef steers ,
nut In tl-o whole
number there wns not a
sltmlo choice load , and few that could be
called Rood. Innot. . the best cattle In. the
> arils were only good enough to bring $1.70 ,
tncro being no loads In the yards to compare
with the | l.7o4.30 cattle here yesterday ,
ihe mon of the offerings were either hall
fat , or else coarse , heavy , and rough cat
tle , the very kind that buyers least desire ,
noted above , however , the demand was
good , both prickers and shippers being In the
field 'with ' liberal orders , and the offerings
changed hands rapidly , so that an early
clearance was effected. Good , strong nrlces
were paid for everything.
HUTCH BUS' BTOCK-Somethlng like
twenty loads of cows nnd heifers were on
sale , but the demand was good , nnd there
were none too many to flit the requirements
of buyers. As was the case with corn-fe < :
bcevivi. the market wns active nnd stronf
and It/ did not take long to clear the pens
The quality was nothing extra , nnd buyen
"ncro reporting their purchases o costlnf
more than yesterday , taking Into consider
atlon quality.
STOCK CATTI.K-The offerings of stoc *
ers and feeders were very small , as hai
been the case for several days back. Suet
cattle as m-ere available sold readily and a
way up 'prices. ' The fact is there are no
enough .stock cattlu coming to this market
Ihe demand for such cattle Is very good li
trlbutory .territory . , and It would bo an eosj
mutter to dispose of a great many mon
than are coming. Light stock cattle brlni
. the best prices. , but tha demand Is good fo ;
cattle weighing even as high ns 900 Ibs
One dealer remarked toJay that ho couli

were to be had. Representative sales :

( With Illustrations. )
la this etory Mr. Haggard makes
a cow demonstration of his won
derful power In the field of pure
romance. He once more boldly
lifts tha curtain that hide * the fate
of nations dead and burltd In the
agea of which no record remain * ,
except In the silent rut no of their
cities.
Zlraboe , an Inland trading city
ttiat flourished In tbo heart of
Africa 8,000 years ago , and peopled
by the Phoenicians , la the econo of
the Btory. To this city cornea
Prtaco Azlel , a grandaon of King * '
Solomon , accompanied by Isaacbar ,
a priest of terocl , and Metem ,
Phoenician trader , who brings a
canvan of merchandise.
In Elista , daughter of Sakon , king
of Zlmboo , the princemecta bis
fate. King Ithobal , lord of many
legions of sav ge warriors , la al
ready a suitor for her hand. He
eues la true barbarian fashion ,
eeeks to carry her off by force , and
la tolled ID the attempt by Prince
Ariel. The etory unfolda Itself
around ihe feud between the Prince
of lerael and the eavage King Itho
bal. Ellcsa baa given ber heart
to Azlel , and loitha the barbarian
monarch. Isaachar , < tbo prieat , la
determined that no prince of the
house of David ( hall wed a heathen
maiden , whoso people worship Baal.
Aa a result of his Intrigues , Ellssa
is elected the high prlcatcsa of
Baal.
This fixes on ImpaMJble religious
gulf between her and Azlel. Their
passionate love secka to eurmouat
all barriers. Meantime , Itliobil
draws hla huge army of Ravages
around the fated city , and demandIng -
Ing Ell sea In marriage , prepares
to destroy It If ho la refused. How
Elista violate * her oith aa high
priestess and prepares to fly with
Azlel ; how they are both discovered
and threatened with death by the
prleste of Baal ; liow , to save each
other , she , by her right act the high
prlcstcaa of Baal , names him her
husband , while ho renounce * bis
faith ind offers Incenee to Baal ;
how Ithobal's horde of savages
storms the walls of the city , and
both Azlel and KIlEoa ( all Into hte
power ; and how , at last , Azlel ea-
capca with his life by Elleoa'a
feigned submission to Ithobal , she
In turn escaping Ithobal by killing
herself , Is all told In Mr , Haggard's
mcxit fascinating manner.
The awful ceremonies In the tem
ple of Baal , the weird rites In the
sacred groven of Zlmboe. and the
barbarous battle scenes of that far-
off time , are described with all the
author's marvelous wealth of Imag-
Inatlve resource.
It la a story that will surely rank
as one of the great work * ot fiction
of 1893.
