CHICAGO , Aug. 21.-Thl8 was a day of
liquidation nnd short polling In wheat. Im
provement In domestic crop conditions ,
large Russian shipments nnd a poor cash
demand made the weak-kneed longs unload
In considerable quantities , Corn dropped 9i
( plic for September on the Improved crop
conditions ; deferred fulures wore not BO
weak. Oats declined % o nnd provisions 2'/i
tp ] 2tic.
Wheat started weak at a decline of about
Uo for both the September and December
opl ns , between which trnding was about
equally divided. Foreign markets were
higher , though they hardly showed , thend -
vtinco expected. But Russia , the wheat
crop of which country was reported Satur
day to have suffered so much us to preclude
the possibility of exports , reported ship
ments Ot over a million bushels. Domestic
crop conditions showed a big improvement ,
ftntl this more than nnjthlng else Influenced
for the time being the action of the mar-
Itct. Ruins In the northwest had ceased and
the weather was reported Ideal for the crop.
iAn a gtcat deal of buying was done last
week on account of apprehension of dam-
ngo from the rains , the change conditions
Hit-ought wheat into the market In such
largo quantities at around the opening nnd
resulted In more or less liquidation all day.
The visible supply statement showed a dls-
iiippalntlnRly small decrease 99,000 bu. , In-
BtOnd of the 1,000,000 tou. expected. The gen
eral cash business was so small as to affect -
fect the speculative market , though bids
were not altogether out of the way. as was
ehown by the working of about 40,000 bu.
Kansas wheat and 'by ' reports of other
email lots worked. The seaboard reported
itwenty loads worked for export. The culls
derived some encouragement from compari
son of primary receipts with last years.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 327
cars , compared with 231 last week and 939
n. year ago. Chicago receipts were 135 cars ,
thirty-two of contract grade. Total pri
mary receipts were 722,000 bu. , against 1-
40GOOO bu. last year. A good deal of selling
was done by the northwest , due to expected
heavier receipts , and this affected , local
traders. The market ! met stop-loss orders
/when It got below puts , and though there
was considerable covering at the. decline the
market responded slowly to the buying and
ruled heavy .to . the end. September opened
Ho lower nt T2c. It held around 72e fern
n time , then slowly settled to 71V4e. closing
nt 71c. December opened Vc lower at
74i4 < S74c , and- declined to 73V573c , closing
ttt 73 ic. _
Corn was quite active and weak. Crop
conditions were Ideal and country accept
ances of Saturday's offers were so free as
i to idemoralize the longs , bids for the cash
article being way out of lino. Prices were
Irregular at the start , but sellers wore in
ft majority nnd heavy selling pressure caroled -
o-led prlcoa steadily downward. September
rwas particularly weak. Receipts wire 356
cars. The vlstole decreased 2,216,000 bu. ,
September ranged from 31H < fJ31 , ie to 32V4c
and closed 94Sc lower at 31@31c.
Oats were quiet and. weak. The situation
was much the same as In corn , ibetter coun
try acceptances nnd lower cash bids' weak
ening tno speculative market. Receiving
houses were sellers. Receipts were heavy ,
714 oars. The visible Increased 152.000 bu.
September ranged from 19)4o to 20Vi ° ana
closed % c lower nt 19c.
Provisions were quiet and easy , with the
business largely In the way of changing.
Yard receipts were liberal nnd hog prices
lower , and provision prices suffered In con
sequence. The cash demand for meats was
light. . At rhoclose September pork was
10@12AC lower at JS.OW8.22 % : September
lard , fSfr7l4c lower at J3.17',4iff5.20 ; September

NUW YORK , Aug. 21.-Thcrc was n battle ,
royal between the bulls and b6Kr on the ,
Stock Exchange today1. The bull ! ) had
somewhat the advantage ot position , na
they v/rre entrenched behind o. large nnd
well distributed demand for stocks of nil
varieties. Commission house business was
on a very large scale nnd the movement
of prices In the majority of the list was
varied throughout the dny , realizing going
on In a liberal way nt one portion ot the
list , while price * were marked up In tin-
other. Ono or two stocks showed conspicu
ous strength , but the tendency to advance
In the railroad list yvnn mirprl.'Ingly uniform
ami took In all grades of stocks from the
highest to the low priced Issues.
But there were spots In the Industrial
list which proved exceedingly vulnerable
nnd the fierce and persistent determina
tion with which the bears raided these re
sulted In wiping out the majority of gains
which had been achieved In the railroads
nnd reducing practically nil that romalned
to fractional limit * . * Urooklyn Transit suf
fered the severest attack from the bears all
day long. It was offered down through suc
cessive ntages , each drop -bringing out a
deluge of long stock nnd dislodging copious
slop-lo'is orders low. The success of the
bears with this stock encouraged them to
extend their attack to other members of
the so-called Flower group. They forced
down International Paper an extreme 8
polnti anil Vcderul Steel Ettftered to the
extent of 3 % .
Tliu extent of the decline Invited hasty
covering and there were rallied of 1 to 3
points in the group. Manhattan , Metropoli
tan Street Railway and Third nvcnue
Hhowed wide declines , in sympathy , ranging
from 214 to 414 In the case of the first two
named. Sugar was also vulnerable after
nn early gain of a point nnd dropped
nearly 2 points. Steel and Wire showed a
markedly drooping tendency nnd other iron
nnd steel stocks were also heavy.
The Influence of this weakness on the rail
road list was accentuated by a late , marking
up of call loans to 314 per cent after having
ruled at nnd below a per cent during the
early part of the day. The fact remains
that a large portion of the day's business
in the railroads was done at prices above
Saturday's level. There was enormous ab
sorption of stocks from the opening in
spite of the rather heavy tone reflected
from foreign slock markets by the disor
ders in Paris , an uneasiness over the po
litical situation and the spread of the
bubonic plague. Tennessee Coal rose buoy
antly 4tt points tp par In the first .few
minutes of trading. It went back during
the day to 97 , but closed at 99.
Louisville continued In active demand and
sold up to 83 % . A number of low-priced
stocks , notably Denver & Rio Gruilde and
Norfolk & Wcsternt > were in good demand
1 nnd the largo organized buying of South-
crn Pacific was continued. This stock was
held back by realizing and did not at any
time rise more than a small fraction over
Saturday. Stocks of railroads In Colorado
were uniformly strong on the Improved con
ditions In the mining Industry of that
state. Atchlson preferred , the Grangers ,
the Coalers , Baltimore & Ohio stocks , and
Union Pacific , were In large demand. Very
little remains of the early gains In these
stocks , which reached a point or over in
a number of cases. American Tobacco
ends with a gain of nearly 2 points. There
were a number of other more obscure stocks
which showed strength during the day.
The bond market showed Increased activ
ity In sympathy with stocks. There were
conspicuous gains in Southern Pacific 4s ,
Colorado Midland 4s , and Atchlson 4a Total
sales , par value , J4,128,000.
United States 3s advanced U In the bid
price.
Commercial Advertiser's London financial
cablegram : The markets here were fairly
active but Irregular today. The Paris riots ,
the Transvaal news , and the appearance of
the plague In Portugal were the disturbing
factors. Consols sold down % c , partly on
bear activity. Spanish 4s were 58 , Tlntos
48 % , other coppers wera unaffected. Ameri
cans opened rather wild , some dealers tak
ing handsome profits , others being- Inclined
to buy on the favorable conditions In the
Now York market. The tone then steadied ,
but prices remained under parity till New
York opened. The advance was then re
sumed and the close was near the best.
Norfolk & Western common , St. Paul and
Loulsvlllo & Nashville were the chief
features. The bank bought 56,000 gold In
bars and 35,000 In German coin.

DM In Inillllllii ,
Prof , W. II. Oarr , superintendent of the
schools at New Lisbon , Md. , made a re
markable discovery In natural history a few
dnys ago. Prof. Garr Is a naturalist of
recognized standing nnd has many speci
mens of rare animals and plants preserved
In his museum , hut the specimen snake Juat
secured is the most Interesting and curious
of all his collection ,
'Prof ' , Garr tells the story of its capture
nnd his statement Is corroborated by Fred-
crick Dryer and John Boyer , farmers who
witnessed the capture. Following Is Prof.
Garr's story : "Monday at my nursery I
killed a slate-colored snake about thirty
inches long , tit a variety unknown to me.
Near the neck of the snake the skin was
apparently broken and through this aperture ,
which was a natural orifice , I was surprised
to see a small snake wriggle out , followed
by four others. I enlarged the orifice and
discovered a duct or canal extending the
entire length of the snake. In this duct
were sixty more little snakes , making in
all sixty-flve snakes that were contained In
the duct or canal. The sun was shining hot
nnd the little fellows snapped and lilt
viciously , but they all died in a short time.
"The canal which contained the snakes
must have been the regular alimentary
canal , as there was no other canal or
passage in the body to serve the purposes of
assimilation. This canal was full of little
snakes Its entire length and each little
wriggler nae enclosed in an Individual filmy
eack. "

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were , today
the largest of any day since October 19 of
last year , 286 cars being reported In the
yards. Almost all of them were western
range cuttle , itJhe supply of natives being so
small as to cut no figure In the day's
doings. As a rule the cattle averaged up
pretty decent , there being a goodly pro
portion of heavy and fairly fleshy rangers.
Buyers were out in good season and rode
through -tine - yards picking out the best of
the fat cattle at prices that were not much
different from Saturday , but outside of the
very beat the market was lower. Only
about eight loads of cornfed cattle were
offered , BO that there was not enough of
that kind to make muoh of a test of the
market , but they hav been selling at very
good prices , and It Is only natural to ex
pect them to case- off very time there Is
any break In range beef. On acount of the
big run buyers were able to take oft lOc
without very much trouble on the. general
run of western cattle.
Not far from forty loads of cows and
heifers were reported In the yards this
morning , which was considerably above
anything of late. As was the. case with
other kinds of cattle , the large receipts
and low prices reported trom other markets
made buyers bearish , anil as a rule they
took off a dime from last week's prices.
In some Instances , where tha cattle just
happened to please buyers , they may not
have sold much lower , while" In other in
stances sellers reported that it was hard
work to get within lOc of last week's prices.
Some of the best feeders sold pretty well ,
but as a rule buyers n > emed to aim at
taking oft about lOc on Bhe better kinds ,
while light stockers and yearlings \vere
way oft. Last weak the yearling market
declined 25o and the common kinds still
more , " and the present w ek starts out with
a atiu further break , so that these cattle
are a ffood deal lower. There Is not verv.
much country demand for the light cattle
just at present , and that appears to ba the
reason for the sharp break in prices. Rep
resentative sales :

'HOGS ' Chicago came lOc lower this
morning , and the market at this point suf
fered a similar drop In prices , though the
receipts were small , as usual on a Monday.
The trade was rather slow , as sellers re
sisted the decline and would olny make the
concession as they were forced to It. Some
good light hogs weighing about 200 pounds
sold at $4.52V4 , that were about the same
kind as brought $4.60f4.G2V4 on Satur.day.
A light sort Hold up" to $4.60 , as against
$4.70 for that sort on Saturday. The. general
run of good mixed hogs had to sell at about
$4.40 , as against $4.bO at the close of last
week. Rough heavy sold down to $4.35.
A glance at the table of average prices
at the head of the column will show that
the presei.t week , even after the decline ,
opens as high as last week. Representative

Where tlir ItoillcH of John
' .Men Will lie Hurled.
( When John Brown made his famous raid
on the United States arsenal at Harper's
Ferry , A'a. , In October , 1859 , relates the New
York Tribune , ho was accompanied by sev
eral men daredevils like himself whom ho
had gathered together In the mountains of
Maryland for this purpose. Some of them
were killed In the skirmish that followed
and others were captured and hanged with
John Brown , In December , 1859. The bodies
of seven of them were burled at Harper's
Ferry , Va , , In two largo , rough , pine boxes-
three In ono box and four In the other.
Dr. Thomas J. Featherstonbaugh and Cap
tain Ball ol Washington , D. C. , assisted by
Prof. O. G. Llbby of the University of
AVIsconsln , have recently ascertained the
exact situation of thcao men's graves and
have had their tones disinterred. They are
now at North Elba , N. Y. . and will bo
burled in a fowidays with appropriate cere
monies In the little plot of ground In which
the t > ody of John Brown , their fearless
leader , "lies a-raoulderlng In the grave. "
These men have the affidavits of several
old residents of Harper's Ferry ( men who
witnessed the tmrlal of these two bbxcs )
In which they swear that thiSa are the
Braves lot the hdroca of Harper's Ferry.
Besides , In digging up the boxes , several
shirt buttons , lead pencils and a liucklo
known to have fceen worn by ono of the
non were found. A plcfe of bearskin coat
'
was also uncovered , 'it Is positively known
that Oliver Brown was dressed In a bear
skin coat when ho was buried. These and
other evidences prove beyond a shadow of
doubt that these are the bodies of the men
who accompanied John Brown. Their names
were : Oliver Brown , Stewart Taylor , AV. II.
Leeman , AVllHam Thompson , Dauphin O.
Thompson , John ( II. Kag and-Dangerfteld
Newby , the last named being , a colored
man.
man.The body of Frederick Brown , who was
murdered at Ossawatomlc , was never re
covered. The skeleton of AVatuon Brown , t
another son of the famous abolitionist , was
used as an anatomical specimen , in a south
ern hospital until bought by a physician ,
who twenty years later offered to restore
it to the Brown family. Mrs. John Brown
and John Brown , Jr. , brought It to North
Elba and buried it there toesldo that of AVat-
son's father.
John Brown moved to North Elba , Esses
county , New York , In the very heart ot
what was then the pathless Adirondack
wilderness , when ho was 40 years old. Ho
had already become greatly Interested In
the slavery question and was. among the
most ardent of abolitionists. At North
Elba ho conceived the idea of making his
homo in the Adlrondacks , the center of a
negro colony which might eventually become -
como the northern terminus of the
"underground railway , " 'by ' which elavca
were secretly conveyed from the southern
states Into Canada. A favorlto route at
that time was , by way of Baltimore , Now
York and the Adlrondacks. The Ilttla
colony of negroes , which ho started there ,
however , failed to grow and prosper. On
the contrary , it dwindled away , The
negroes could not withstand the rlgora of
the climate there , where the mercury frequently -
quently falls in winter to 20 and even 30
degrees below zero. They grew sick 'and
despondent , and cither moved away or
died.
John Brown then resolved to Invade tha
enemy's country. Ho conceived the Idea
of capturing the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry , arming the negroes and turning
them against the white slave owners of the
south , thus enabling the poor blacks to free
themselves from bondage.
In a few days the bodies of these seven
heroes will bo laid at rest 'beside that of
their leader. President McKlnley. who Is
only a few miles from Klba , at the Hotel
Cbamplaln , may not bo able to attend be
cause of the Illness of Mrs. McKlnloy.
Vice President Hobart Is also at the Hotel
Cliamplaln , 'but ' as he Is In poor health It
may lie impossible for him to attend tha
burial servlceH , but It Is earnestly hoped
that Governor Roosevelt will -be able to ba
present.
