Provisions showed declines of lOfjlZ'/jc. Lower ( | uotutlons from Liverpool and bright sunshlno nt homo started the wheat Ijenrs all over the exchange Into activity today , with the accompaniment of a break In prices Thb bullishness that was ap parent In wheat Saturday hacl'no trace left tiidny. The country news on thn whole was of the most favorable character , not only _ 03 to tlio promised heaviness of thej leld , but also the'prospect of tin unrly harvest.

The relief froin tlio selling pres- BUIU came from the bidding up of July , \\lilili was qultci easily effected on account of the small open Interest In It. It rose from $ l.'oo ! * In V4c jumps between every fiesh trnmnetton , until It was up to $1 ll'j and the effect on Sentember put the latter to SO' c.

The Improvement In the vvi-iithor was the most prominent of the fnHneiiccs In the coin market.

CATTLE There were more cattle here > day than on nny Monday last month , but ot o many as ( hens we-io two and thieo ecks ago. ConsldcihiK the expectation of nrgo receipts foi the week at Chicago ml consequent lower pi lees the general laiket today was not In bad shape by any leans. Corn fed steers , which constituted nlnc- onths of the ic-celpts , were weak to lOo > WCT , and tinti.idu was not very active. Itlll there was a fair demand both local ml shipping and the cattle kept selling so hat the most of the ollerlngs wore taken n falily good season. As n rule buyc-is vcre claiming that the cmnllty of the- cattle s a whole was not good , but foi all that heie were some ve-iy fall cuttle which sold t $1 5034 65 As might bo expected , some of ho most desirable kinds of cattle did not ell ho very much lovvei , In fact there ! wcie- nstanccs wheie salesmen claimed to ha\e Dec-n paid very neatly steady prices for ome of their holdings. Rough , heavy nnd curse cattle felt the most decline Only about a half doxen loads ot cows nnd hejfcrs were ofTcre-d for hale and the nnrket on that kind of stock wan mietleally unchanged. There were noenl alves on the nnrket , though the demand 'ontlnucs ve-ry strong. Thi- market was practically bare of block attle and fcedeis and the general sltun- lon us legardM that kind of stock was not nuterlallv changed. As has frequently been pointed out , the demand Is con- sidciably In excess of the arrivals. Rep- esciitatlvc bales : STEERS.

The wiek opens with the market G'irlOc higher than It was one week ago , 40 45i higher than two weeks ago , i,0c highei than ono month ago and S5c hlglu-r than i ye-nr ngo , It would look as If the hlijhei prices that have prevailed of late hac stimulated shipping to un extent that I' ' bringing forward a few more light hog au there Is a falling off In the averati weight of ull the arrivals.

The hogs were of good ciuallty nnd topped the market at $4 15 Mr. Lindsey was well ple-ascd with the price he reeelvcd. Government purchases of cievalry horses have created quite a demand for horses of the regulation kind , but there are few to be had It neems strange that In u coun try where horje-s are so plentiful there should be so few really good and scrvlcc- abl animals. Hogs are now selling 25e- higher than the best time last year , which was Septembci 2. when the average' price ) reached J4 07 , Last year them were very few days when the average price was' aw high aa J4 00.

" Bald the young man re cently ni rived from a fai Interior slate , and .o whom a vessel of any cert was a uiys- cry and n wonder. "Trom stem to stern. " said the editor , fixing a suspicious and threatening eye upon lilm. lilm.This This wna the young man's first mission , relates the San Praiiflsco Argonaut. Ho was eager to distinguish himself. He had already done so on his village paper , belt 10 wanted n wider field for his nsplra- Ions and had come to New York. Yet ho went out of the oHlce , auxloin and doubting. "I will go to the captain , " said he ; "ho will explain to me the ship and Its uses. He will tell ma till.-i "Captain , " said he , "I am sent to write up your ship. Oblige mo by stating how many maats It has. " "Eighteen , " promptly answered the cap tain. tain."Whero "Whero are they ? " " \Vo have sent them on chore to b painted. " "How much water does your vessel draw1 * "Three Inches. " "How do you draw It ? " / "By steam power from the well. " ' "AVere you ever In a storm at Bea ? " "Never , " said the cnptaln. "Are you ever seasick ? " "Awfully ; can't leave my berth from the time we leave Now York till wo arrive at Liverpool. " "Aro the rest of your officers and crew seasick ? " "Always. AVo'ro only on deck and about In port. " "AVhy , who steers the vessel nt sea ? " "The cook ; he's the only well man on board. " After getting much other Information , which the captain said he was only too happy to Impart to such an Interesting young gentleman , the reporter returned und wrote as follows : "The new steamer Crusader Is a splendid specimen of naval nrchltecturp. Her keel revolves on hinges , BO ns to bo readily un shipped In a storm , when It Is not wanted. The i udder , nHo , by a patent contrivance , can bo drawn out of Its socket nnd deported on deck dm Ing the night and In hurl Icancs. The Crusader has folding decks , which can be doubled up when she 1ms but little cargo , and her tonnage In this way can be de creased from 4,000 to 200 tons. The sail can. If necessary , bo used as a sky-Ball or wind-sail , and the saving of canvas cITectoil In thlb manner reduces the wear and tear of her iminlngVlggliiK one-linlf. The main brace passes from the end of the bowsprit over thefore - , main , nnd royal masts , then down over the spanker boom lo thu taff rail and Into the cabin windows , where It la secured by a double-banned sheepshank to the head of thecaptain's berth. She has compound engines which boll water at nn extremely low tempcratuio. Hct sciewa revolve at the rate of 10,000 times a min ute , nnd can , If necessary , be brought for ward and used ns paddlevvhecls. The Cru sader Is also constructed on the ciab prin ciple , and by bracing up ovciythlng sharpen on the wind and wearing ship frequently she can KO as fast sideways as/ any other way. The engines nro furnished with con densers , which condense milk ns well aa water. Her cabins are constructed on the Trench-flat principle , there helm ; six storks , with kitchens , etc. , for each family of passengers. The Crusader also carries her own docks , and thus saves all expenses of wharfage when In port. She olio car ries her own quarantine , and so can never bo detained If there Is any malaria or meas les on board. The pilot pilots her all tlio way acres sine Atlantic , and cornes hack with the ship cnch time. Her compasses In the barnacle give dally the direction In the wind.
