CHICAGO, May 21. Practically perfect weather conditions in all wheat growing section of this country and the apparently hopeless prospect of any upheave) in Eur opean prices turned sentiment here today unmistakably to the bear side. Closing quo tations for that grain showed a net loss of l'glc. There was also a decline of He to V''!! In corn, 'ac to Hfpjc in outs and 6 7'zc to 27V4c in provisions. Final figures for wheat were about the lowest for the day and the week In the ac tive options. The market opened at a big decline and showed only faint recovery despite considerable covering by shorts and much buying on the part of commission concerns. Storm damage cries from Okla homa seemed to make only a temporary im pression. The week's primary receipts were 1,300,000 bu. larger than a year ago. Texas reports were emphatic that, notwithstand ing allegations to the contrary, conditions in that state could not be better. Kansas crop authorities showed eagerness tore vlse upward their forme estimates. Far -away India was heard fr)m with an official statement that the united provinces would .produce 112.OU0.O0ll bu., against 63,000,000 bu. a year ago. September ranged from 99Vs tWe to $1.00',4, closing easy at the lowest figure reached, a net loss of 1-Vc. Corn showed much weakness on aocount of fine weather for the growing crop and i uau.n ui me uiKe increase in tno aiter plantlng movement from the farms. Sep tember fluctuated between 6074c and 6l4o, closing weak at the first named price, a net aecunn or -viT'isC. cash corn was slow. No 2 yellow closed at 62e. Fine crop prospects led to considerable selling of oats. The' slump in wheat like wise had a bearish effect. September varied iiuni jfic to jMrri.kic, una closed at 3814c, with the tone easy.

When President Harahan of the Illinois Central railroad yalled for Europe this week he left behind him a statement In which he expressed some slight uneasiness over the Industrial and financial outlook. Mr. Harahan, who is a student of affairs at large, believes that political conditions In the United States have fostered a feel ing of caution and backwardness among In vestor.'", which will not be dispelled for some little time. Following this the mem bers of the American Manufacturers' as sociation, who gathered In this city In con vention, declared individually and collec tively, that the outlook could not be Lbrlghter. They scout the view of Mr. Har ahan; their words are of the ultra opti mistic tenor. So far as the stock market Is concerned this was a dull week, with little trading and occasional upward shoots which tended to Keep up prices pretty generally, even though the latitude of trading was not great. The market Indicated strength Just as It did the week foefore, and there was not even the snadow of a break to Justify alarm. There was another good bank statement today. On the week's currency movements New York banks experienced a heavy gain. The excess of receipts over shipments Is ap proximately siu.buu.uuu. Un transfer nnm. tlons wtth the Interior banks have received $6,325,000, and this gain has been enlarged by about $3,700,000 received from the United States subtreasury. The money market Is now approaenmg me time of year in which It is least calculated to develop anything of a serious nature. According to prece dent, the market should be easy for the next month or so. ltotM time and call money showed firmness, and the general indications are auspicious. , Settlement of Un.e Sonic. -ne development of Importance Is the settlement of. a new wage scale by the Erie. This was the last serious obstacle to har mony among the eastern railroad un,l with the troublesome question out of the way, the horizon looks much brighter. The eiueuieni or me jt,ne scale will mean a standardization of wage east of ('hlrno-o which will dispose of that difficulty for aumu xime 10 come. The details of the rll.snnuul nf (ha Kt ra,,i Issue of debentures abroad will likely be made known next week. Bond men have re ceived with considerable, elation the an nouncement of the placing of these sureties In Paris, and also of the placing of $10,000,- 000 Worth Of Bia- Four hnndu ilinuiH I. 1. likely that no official detailed statement of ine price or tne Big r'our debentures will be forthcoming for some time, with s hnnH movement harmonizing with the stock mar ket, Investors look for broadening and strengthening features. The directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, one of the Hawley links, decided yesterday to Increase the dividend from 4 to o per cent. Following so closely 'upon similar action by the United States Steel corporation this shows conclusively the confidence with which the big men of Wall street regard the future. Incidentally, Mr. Hawley has acaulred n new raiirnnH o... cording to an announcement veslerdav. with tuiun mauon roaay. Mr. Hawley has pur chased the Texas Central railway, extend ing mi mnes norm rrom Waco, -which he will combine with the Mlnaourl Wan.a. . Texas. This new road i.vicniu'int. .ink Texas territory hitherto untouched by the iwieo ui me nawiey-r oakum syndicate. Western Outlook Brlirht. The western railroad situation has cleared ui us present or looked-Tor labor difficul ties through the standardization of wages Announcements of the week show that the Union Pacific traffic has grown, which offsets the bad effects of the hard winter and the resultant effects of the retrench. ment policy which was In effect two years following 1907. Union Pacific, however, Is noi inciuaea in me compiled list of railroad lines which show extraordinary Increase in gross earning in the nr,m rimai . Among those in that last are Canadian Pa cific, Burlington, Great Northern, Southern ijouisvuie & Nasnville, Chesa peake & Ohio, Missouri Pacific, Seaboard iiue, x-ennsyivania ana New York Cen tral. The Che.aDeake A Ohio lead In the case of Kansas Cltv Southern A nrii earnings will show an increase of 12 per cent over those of April of last year. Western Pacific might have shown up to better advantage but for the heavy rainfall west of the Rockies, which washed out mien oi me new roadbed. Anaconda Copper should easily earn div Idends In the current fiscal year. The pro auction nas Deen Increased, with a lower cost ratio, and despite some bad weather and a fire, estimates mad.. n...v n... ,...., bright. The copper situation ought to be Improving. The domestic consumption of the metal has increased over 30 per cent in the last year and a half, but despite trade conditions financial Interests have tended u leiaiu siock recovery of the metal com allies. - Industrials Are Stendy. Among me industrials. United States Steel still presents its steady front. The trust is leading In dividends, although the trade Is apparently good for both the com bine and the Independents. Present figures show to the contrary, that of twenty-two issues ui uie tnirteen companies only eleven are paying dividends. The Steel corporation reports an overflow of orders: an mmir in fact, that a number of them have been somen irom tne uary plant to the Pitts burg district for filling. Standard Oil showed up with the quarterly uiviueuu ui .i per snare mis weets, the pre vlous quarterly dividend on March 15 be ins io per snare. international Harvester remains a fa ture In the Industrial field. So heavy are the orders of this corporation that a new l.vuo.iw piant is to re Dutlt at Chicago and steps will soon be taken for another raciory in t.anaua.

The entire first hour was marked by a strong undertone and while the trading was not large, broad developments all tended to assist the market. Crop ad vices were a big factor.

MX) Total deposits 1,234,500,600 Decrease. Totals 6,080 988 CATTLE As usual on a Saturday, there was nothing of any consequence on sale and the market was nominally steady all around. Receipts this week foot up 16,700 head, or about 1.500 head short of last week and 2.500 head short of the corresponding week a year ago. Prices have ruled very uneven this week, partly on account of tne nervous condition of the trade and partly because of the uneven character of the offerings. Good to choice heavy cattle have met with a good demand throughout and have com manded pretty close to steady figures from start to finish, closing, If anything, a shade stronger than last week. On the other hand, the bulk of the offerings have con sisted of half-fat and plain sliort-l'ed steers, and these have been slow and Irregular sellers right along. As compared with a week ago, closing prices are pretty close to 1525c lower. The general tone to the trade at the close was fairly healthy, with a broad demand for all desirable offerings. Conditions In the cow market have been substantially the same as In the fat cattle trade, and while strictly good to choice kinds have found a ready sale at firm fig ures from start to finish, there has been a l.V&.o decline on the ordinary, medium to fair grades, and they have been slow sell ers every day. The inquiry for the com mon and canning grades has been fairly good throughout, and with some competi tion from feeder buyers for thin stock the market has shown very llttie change on this class of stock. Veal calves are about fcKffoOc lower than last week, but in fair de mand and there has been little change In the market for bulls, stags and rough stock generally, the genet al trend of values being a little lower. In Blockers and feedeis supplies have been rather small, the demand limited and the volume of business light. Early in the week there was a l.U25c decline. This drop in values naturally encouraged buying to some extent and a very good clearance lias been made, although there has been 110 Improvement in prices and the decline of the first of the week has been sustained throughout. The Inquiry is very slack at this season of tne year and dealers look for a 'rather Uinl market tne rest of the month.

HOGS Good, light hogs sold at prices strong to a nickel higher in the hog yards this morning, but the big bulk of the heav ier grades went at fully steady figures. Supply was only nominal, with quite a lib eral sprinkling of 210 to 235 pound hoiis, the kinds that have been meeting with the best demand lately. Shippers bought a few loads on outside orders, but local killers took the big end of receipts, most of the ens being cleared in very good season. The close was rather dull at prices barely steady with yesterday. A large portion of receipts went at $.405$ 9 .45. as compared with yesterday's bulk of .l35fc.45. Tops remained unchanged, the best lots bringing $9.60. Despite a liberal run this week, the de mand has been fully adequate and move ment reasonably active on most days. Prices tiave been influenced largely by the trend of provision values, but any weakness has been more than offset by strength, and closing sales are pretty close to a nlckej higher than those of a week ago. Shippers have been fair buyers from stait to finish. Representative sales: ' St. Joseph Live Stock Market. ST. JKPEPH. Mo.

DESCRIPTIVE LICENSE JARRED Solemn Editorial Critic Takes a Fait Ont of Present Way C'trre spondenis. VV nen livrrs 01 invn nic ucctiiwrv, "sweeping over vineyards and houses," as In the case or the eruption or Etna, the impression is made that the lava streams act like rivers. But Ibis Is not true save where the flow starts. Lava exposed to ' the air, Instantly takes on a stony film, and the further It goes on It way down the hill the thicker tho film becomes, anil the more sluggish the stream. In the ac count of the eruption of Etna one reads:, "The fire is rushing down, burning every thing. The lava is like a led hot river." This sounds ominous, but further on one comes : to particulars, based on measurements, and we learn that "the velocity Is estimated at three or four feet a minute, according to the condition of tile ground." Else where the account says that it 'took six teen hours for the lava to move five miles, if a man could make his three miles an hour afoot for sixteen hours, he would cover forty-eight miles. Slow business, a lava flow. On the great mountain of the Island of Hawaii lava now and then breaks out of the side and starts down hill to the sea, it flows steadily for weeks, taking the shape of a railway embankment, and It sometimes does not reach the sea at all. The flow Is like that of glue. When a gulch or cavity Is reached, the lava slowly fills It up before going on. As the flow proceeds', unimpeded, you may stand close by, in front of it, and take photographs of the advancing mass. It is no fiery, tumul tuous flood. In the daytime lt is etone colorcd outside; at night tho inner fires shows through; always It Is hot enough to make the tree lt touches burst into a torch, but lt Is never a tumbling river of molten . rock. In no way does It resemble a stream or torrent of water. It Is a semi-solid mass, ponderously feeling its way. That Is the reason why people living on the slopes of Etna do not run from a crater flow until all chance of Its pausing, wait ing and solidifying is gone. Even then they do not run, unless accompanying"! , earthquakes scare them, for it is a slow man who cannot outwalk a lava flow. Sap Francisco Chronicle. GREATEST WONDER OF AGE Pale Illne Depths of Skim Holds Civ lllxntion's Most Valued Possessions. Dr. O. Henry NovaJt, a chemist of Austin, 111., asserts that the pale blue depths of skim milk harbors the material with which the Egyptian mummies preserved their shape for centuries gone by. What tb doctor enumerates: JP Railroad ties treated with It become Im perishable. Applied to patent leather shoes, It pre vents tho patent expiring, not a crack ever appearing on the smooth surface. A The most porous brown paper become, water tlfcht under Its action. An Indelible writing fluid imperious tf acids, is a product of the preparation. Evaporated and compressed It become an artificial Ivory, which defies detection. As a glue, It is without an equal for Its) adhesive qualities. Dr. Nowak has heen a chemist forty years and has served both the Austrian and the United States governments. Ha declares that, after twenty years, research, he has progressed so far as to be positive) of what he claims. In Din laboratory re cently he exhibited specimens in proof ot some of his assertions. f In Dr. Novak's laboratory hang large) piiccs of beef, a leg of lamli and fish which, were dipped In the skimmed milk a few duys before. The temperature In tho labo ratory has been that of the outer air, but each piece had the appearance and odor of the fresh meat. Every duy the chemist dips a dozen eggs, laid the same da. and marks each wlthj the date. One of these, marked January 9, UKVJ, being 15 months old, was opened. It could not have been distinguished from an eig laid the day before. Dr. Novak displayed a Spanish mackerel which had. been preserved for weeks. Fish eaten six weeks after being dipped was said to re tain its original flavor. Chicago Recprd- lieram. Sb ottered the Holes. "What has become of that man who ii' to serve me?"
