CHICAGO. Jim. ".-Speculative fever mn
riot In nearly till of the grain and pro
vision markets today ami trading wan the
heaviest In some time. A strong realizing
movement broke wheat badly near the. end
of tho session, May closing at a decline of
Ufl-c. Corn held purl of an early ad
vance, closing Uo higher. Oats advanced
He and provisions closed aVic higher to 10c
lower, the decline being In pork.
It was evident from the wide rango of
opening prices In wheat that opinions as to
the future course of tho market varied
greatly. Initial prices for May. which
closed Saturday nt T9Wjy.c, ranged from
7o to 7514c. For a time, tho volumo of busi
ness was tremendous. Immense buying or
ders, many of them from the outside, wero
In tho hands of brokers, but local longs,
with big profits In prevailing prices, wero
moro than willing to sell, and from tho
start tho tendency was downward. The
crowd apparently believed that Wall street
Influences were at work ami big commission
houses wero closely watched. Soon after
tho opening a marked element of weakness
developed from tho llhernl receipts and the
weakness of the northwest markets, but
tho appearance of any largo buying or sol -Ing
order in tho hands of a prominent
broker seemed to have moro effect on tho
crowd than any statistical news. After
touching 78o, tho market gradually stead
ied and under heavy buying by a prominent
commission house, which started a
scramble to reinstate! lines by early
professional sellers, an advanco look
place, which carried tho market
to tho highest point of tho day,
79i;c. After that nothing of Interest trans
plred, though price changes wero frequent
until near tho close, when local longs
flooded tho market with their realizing and
prices slid off with amazing rapidity. Tho
close was at 7V, tho lowest point of tho
day, with tho market cxchlhlttng consider
able nervousness, Local receipts wero 114
cars, two of contract grade. Northwest re
ceipts wero 573 cars, against 475 last week
ami ftxi a year ago. Total primary receipts
wero 919,000

Light receipts, poor grading returns, un
settled weather and light country accept
ances made the market for corn Independ
ently strong. Thero was a good demand
for tho cereal all day. and though late In
tho session tho marked weakness of wheat
had some effect and pun of the early ad
vanco was maintained, tho market closing
ateady. Commission house buying was a
fent.iro of eiir'y trading. Liberal local re-

to tho close of tho exchange about 2,150,00t
shares had been dealt In, the greatest num
ber of transactions recorded In the history
of tho exohungc.
Tho mnrket had nil tho characteristics of
what Is usually called a traders' market,
but everything was on a Gargantunn scale.
Where 100-shuro lots would be a normal
unit In an ordinary market, In today's mar
ket 1,0V), 2,000 and oven S.OOO-sharo lots were
bandied about like playthings for a quick
turn In the market, The movement of
prices was on a corresKndlngly gigantic
scnle. Tho turnover of profits In some
cases on these enormous blocks of stocks
wero mado within a few minutes of time,
prices having varied In the Interval per
haps many points. Tho speculative char
acter of tho market was clearly Indicated
In tho Inconstancy of prices. Nothing was
stable for any considerable period, but no
movement was consistent beyond a short
length of time.
Losses were recorded, gains were lost
...... "'-: no siiruiig rallies irom reac

Tho Commercial Advertiser's London
llnanclal cablegram says; A fair amount of
business was done In tho markets here to
day, but tho tone was not satisfactory, An
udverso Influence was a series of reports ex.
nggeratlng tho latest losses In South Africa
Into the death of General Knox. Americans
were quicker and sellers predominated, The
perpetual reports of consolidations are re
garded as a mischievous development which
amy bring about serious trouble. This was
a Reading day, An early morning "tip"
to buy hhares of that company on the Jer
sey Central ileal was accepted enthusiasti
cally and the fluctuations were violent,
lialtlmoro Ohio nlso boomed on dividend
rumors. Tho general mnrket. however,
eased off, then broko on free sales by Now
York. Thero was a partial rally In the
street. The market has now repaid the
bank alt Its loans, but the latter still holds
a heavy amount of bills, liar sold recov
ered to 76s 10-7d. The December trade re
turns show that exports Increased 7 per
cent and Imports 10 per cent, mainly In
foodstuffs and raw cotton. The figures for
tho year show exports up 10 per cent, Im
ports 8 per cent.

here today and receipts Included nothing
that might bo called strictly choice beor
steers, Tho demand for tlnlnDeil entile
seems to bo in good shape, but the half-fat
stuff nnd warmed-up cattle did not show
any Improvement today. The better grades
01 wnai was on sale brought good, steady
prices, but tho less, desirable kinds were
dull and sellers found It illtlleult in i?et
steady prices for them. The fne.t. that then
were so few cattle of any description ottered
ooiioiiess ueipeu out tho sale of those
that were on tho market.
There was a irood. nctlve demand for
cows and heifers today and In view of the
light supply the mnrket Improved about a.
dlmo all around, unless It bo on ennncrs.
Buyers all seemed to be anxious for sup-
plies and as a result they had to pay
better prices than nt the closo of Inst
week. As a result of tho good demand
tho market soon camo to a close fur lnelc
of supplies.
Thero was no particular change In bulls,
calves and Btags today, prices holding Just
about steady.
inero wero only a row reeders on sulo
today and those that wero offered could
not bo called fancy stock. The demnud
woh in fairly good shapo and sellers found
little diniculty In disposing of their hold
lugs at Just about steady prices. Stock
cows and heifers, stock calves nnd dh'.Im
all sold In about the same notches they
did Inst week. Representative sales:

Snlil in lie nil Ideal llliinilnnnl for
lolntril llulliHiiuN.
At present It does not appear likely that
ncetyleno will become a serious competitor
of electric light or city gas in tho larger
towns, but In small towns aud villages,
where tho amount of lighting done will not
warrant tho expenditure called for by elec
tric or city gas plants, ncetyleno Is
eminently well adapted. For Isolated build
ings of various kinds It Is nn Ideal tlluml
nnnt. If tho user of nn acetylene gas ma
chine will but bear In mind the fact that ho
Is operntlng his own gas works nnd will act
accordingly, thero la no reason why acety
lene should not prove a reliable and satis
factory form of lllumlnant, writes Theo
dore Tamey In Casslor's Magazine.
Much has been written of tho dangerous
character of tho gas Itself, oven without
mixture with air, but It has been pretty
definitely determined that tho puro gns,
when properly generated and maintained
at low pressure, will not explode from
shock or llro. When compressed to two
ntmosphcroH It begins to show exploslvo
qualities when heated. When, however, nlr
is mixed with acetylene, It becomes vio
lently explosive, the rango of cxploslvcncn
rxtondlng from about 3.1 per cent of gns
to 21 per cent, some authorities placing tho
upper limit ns high ns S2 per cent. In tho
form of burner usually employed tho open
ings In tho Inva tips aro very smnll, nnd n
match may bo applied to such a burner,
pnsslng a mixture of gas and nlr, without
If tho burner tip be removed from tho fix-
danger of explosion, hut such Is not tho caso
turo. Hearing theso facts In mind tho gen
erator must bo constructed to contain ft
minimum of dead air apace when first
stnrtrd. Tho lesson of experience has been
that tho poreon starting tho apparatus fre
quently becomes impatient In waiting for
tho small blue flames to reach their full
slzo and brilliancy, nnd ho removes tho
burner tips to accclerato matters, trying tho
openings with a match. This mothod, whllo
Invariably effectlvo In determlng whether
or not U10 nlr mlxturo has passed off, can
not bo employed with safety lo tho person
or surrounding property. Many buc' In
stances nro on record, and have, correctly
cnought, been set down to caretesnness, but
tho primary causo of tho dlfllcully Is de
fective design of tho apparatus. It Is en
tirely posslblo to construct npparntus which
will give almost puro gas Immediately.
Further than this, tho portion of tho ma
chlno which must bo open for rechnrglng
should not Introduce n largo amount of nlr
Into tho system.
With a view to Increasing profits, makers
of machines aro frequently 1ml need to rato
them nbovo their real capacity; that In,
provision Is not made for the quantity of
carhldo necessary to supply tho specified
number of lights. Tho chnrgo becoming
exhausted, tho lights go out, necessitating
recharging nt night. This In a dangerous
operation by artificial light, and should bo
avoided. In purchasing n machine tho
buyer should sco that an allowance Is mndo
In tho generator for nt least eight-tenths
of a pound of carbide for every half-foot
burner. For a dwelling this allowance
would probably sufTlco for tho dally light
ing period, but for other conditions ot
servlco tho amount should bo Increased ac
cordingly. HEROES IV lll'.MIII.i: LIFE.
Novel .Memorial of the Herd nf Tlrnvn
.Men nnd Women.
A cloister has recently been built In
Aldersgnte street In London, on the walls
of which nro to be placed memorlnls of
the deedM of heroism of Enallsh men nnd
women In humblo life, reports Y'outh's Com
panion. I' our Ellen Illinois nave lurenoy occn
erected, tho Inscriptions on two nf them
rending ns follows: "Wulter Penrt. driver,
nnd Harry Bran, fireman, of the Windsor
express, on .liny 18. iwi, wnust neing
scalded and burnt, sacrificed their lives in
saving a train." "Mnrv Rocers. stewardess
of the Stella, March 30, 1899. self-sacrificed
by giving up her life-belt nnd voluntnrlly
going down m ino sinning snip.
Nothing cnn bo more Inspiring than this
public recognition of tho bravery nnd self
sacrifice of obscure heroes and heroines.
Westminster Abbey Is crowded with tho
tombs of Englnnd's mighty dead her great
warriors on land nnd sen, her poets, her
statesmen, her nutlior. Each puts forth 11
silent clnlm to have helped mankind nnd
pleads to bo remembered by his country,
but until now there has boon no publto
recognition of these humble heroes,
Wliv should not Americans follow tho ex
ample of tho builders of the church In
Aldersgatov in inmost every viuugo cuurcn
In Knglnnd are tablets recording tho nnmoa
of men belonging to tho old county fnmlllos
who havo died In bnttln In India. Africa
or tho Crimea. Abovo tho memorial often
hangs the torn nnd blood-stained bnttle-flag
under which they fought and died.
Whv should not every American village
from Mnlno to California keep a record of
Its sons who have sacrificed their lives for
their brothers, not only the soldier, but tho
physician, tho poor engine-driver, tho hos
pital nurse? It would bo 11 proud story
which would furnish Inspiration to every
boy of the village In years to come; a word
of cheer
That perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main.
