ESTIMATES OF CLIQUE HOLDINGS J lie Decline of the Early Port of tlio Week in Cattla Kcgalnctl-- Iraclc In ilogtt Active Quotations. CHICAGO I'HODUCK MARKET. CIIICAOO , April * ! . [ Special Telegram to thoUKi : . ] May wheat was still pegged at 84c by the clique thls nornlng. If It Imd not bccnJLwould Imvo pot under that figure , because of liberal receipts and because of the pretty Rencral realizing ; of the crowd on Juno that option fell to feS c at once. Thp clique Is bald to bo arranging for the cash wheat In a j > ccullar way. They say to old nnd original carriers , "Do you want to keep your wheat If you can make fair * Interest on your moiipy. " There Is only one answer to Hint qiii'stloii. Of course tlio carriers don't want to go out of business. The clique then proposes to them to put up margins , to cive them a commission and to give them May op tions. This ptitj the old "carriers" In the at titude oTbrokeis or commission men to the bull cotcrlo. It 1ms this advantage : It partly disarms the suspicion ot ttho crowd ; I rolluvtis the cllipio of the odium Hut would bo heaped on It If cash wheat was gathered together in a great block and loaded up. Uo- sldus it puts Chicago banks in hot ter temper nud makes them more Inclined to advance liberally on wheat A licet starts out of Chicago to night with over ; i,000,000 bushels of corn aboard. About 750,000 bushels of this has been taken from elevators within the past week. The straits are open , letting through the "up licet. " Tills will empty out perhaps 2,000,000 bushels more corn , as elevator men nrc HO anxious for room that they are mak ing a n-tnto of ll c a bushel to shippers. This will be all the mom there will be needed. Tin ; receipts oflieat are not large not nearly so largy as expected and there Is no .wheat of nny consequence coming down hero from Milwaukee ami Dtilutlr Halt of the men \\lio-\vero vehemently talking about bringing millions of wheat lieio from Dnluth uru now over on the bull Hide themselves. As for Armour , low ot the mon who wore curtain ho would pour about 8,000,000 bushels of cnsh wheat upon the clique are certain now that this Is none other than an Armour deal. This shows how the sentiment olmimes. Mershaw & Co. to-day must have bought nearly 750,000 bushels. They yiok ono 200,000 bushel lot from Matthews , anU several lanro lots from Lester and other houses. Yesterday "pt'gglnwas done by Irwln. Green & Co. ; the dny before by Kosenfeld & Co. The gos- El ) s were busy making estimates on the situ- utloii of the market so far as clique holdings are concerned. It is figured this way now : Kwslmw & Co. have 15,000,000 bushels ; Irwin , Orenn it Co. , 12,000,000 bushels ; Ros en feld & Co. , (1,000,000 ( bushels : George C. Walker & Co. , : i , < > 00,000 bushels ; boss. Strong & Co. , lf > 00,000 bushels ; George lialdwin < te Co. , 1,000,000bushels ; Hensley Bros. , 1,000,000 bushels ; making a total of a'J.600,000 bushels , all bought lor May delivery. Them are , It will be seen , three now names In the clique cotcrlo now. Koss. Strong ite Co. are said to have been tnken In so as to get "Diamond Jo" ffiish whent. There was a little curiosity to know the whereabouts ot Green , of Irwln , Green & , Co. , and ot' C. J. Kcrsliaw , of C. .1. Kcishtiw & Co. , the two men who have boon the lending cllquo operators. The anxiety of thn crowd because these two pcntlemcn were out of town shows how much worry the clique Is causing the market just now. May went to S4 > c , broke off to KiJ < o , liclu there for only a momoiit and went to 8-4Jf@SIM'cat the close. Corn was a llttlo linn , while provisions were unchanged. CHICAGO LilVIfl STOCK.

' About Demons and Devils Among ChrlHtiann and Heathens. Satan stood Unterrlfied and like a comet burned That lirus the length ot Oplilncus huge. In the Arctic sky , and from his horild hair Shakos pestilence and war. [ Par.idlso Lost , llook II. , 707-11. Whoever or whatever the devil may bo bo is u most important personage , ilis- lory , poetry , romance , mythology and ' tirt'till furnWJ iUmndaiit evidences of the truth of tWsi.tUitomunt. Tlio grandest of epics , the greatest of paintings , the most lamoufe of theatrical plays , all have hiin as the ! * Cojitral figure. Not to speak of his notable Achievements as tolil in the book of Ijookfe , " which have been the theme of theological discussion from time immemorial , liia acts , or acts imputed to him , arc reeorflt'd in countless volumes. Tlio devil made Milton famous and contributed , iinjno small degree , to the renown or Shrtkspeare ; MoplnstopllclcH , who was cither the devil or his agent , is the hero of Odblbo's lhastorpiece ; while the place'Where1 tlm devil was supposed to abide was''tb Virgil anil Dante the foundation upcm which their muses built a structure "morn enduring than brass , more splendid than gems of the Orient. " "I wish1 said a down-town bookseller to a reporter thu other day , "that the devil would follow the example set by some of our public men , and write hife autobiography. Any publisher would give a liberal sum lor the copywrigli and a handsome royalty on every volume sold. Wo know nothing about the devil that is , nothing definite. His history would be one of the most entertaining ever written , Who would not like to know when satau was born , whohis parents were , how he passed his boy hood , what were the achievements of his riper years , and all the other facts that make up a standard biography ? Defoe was the only writer who ever attempted , such a work , and he could scarcely be considered an authority on the subject.1 The theme is a vast one ; but any author ( exeept his Satnniu Majesty himself ) at tempting the work suggested would be bewildered at the outset by the necessity of solving a number of dillicult , ques tions like the following : Is there one devil only ? Is ho omnipresent , omnis- cent , or is he limited to his own domain and restricted in his powers ? In short , who'aml what is the vdeil , and what is his nature and diameter. We have the best , of grounds for be lieving that the devil was once respecta ble. At least he kept good company and was not described as a mischief-maker. "Now there was a day , " states the Hook of Job ( chap. I. , vi. and vii. ) , "when the son of God came to "present themselves before the Lord , and Satan came also among them.1 ' Ho was asked whence ho came" and replied , "From going tu and fro in the earth anil from walking up and down it. " That is , ho was a tramp. Ho couldn't have followed the road long or his companions would certainly have Leeu ashamed of him. Job was a rich man and maintained a magnificent establishment ; he was nlso upright and honest. Satan tried to con vert him to his theories , but Job could not bo moved to cither swear or lie , and though his patience was mightily trjed by the adversary , he grow both m wisdom and strength' and lived 110 years after. The satan of the old testament docs not appear to have been a being of great power. Ho was lirst a servant , then , a prosecutor , then a cniilidence man. Popular ideas of his character are drawn from Milton's terrible picture of him , and notfrom the scriptural record , Tlicro wcrootiior devils than Satan , how- over. The la ran- appears lo have been accorded tftoiposition ! of chief of the tribe ami ruler lot the realm nf darkness as soon as hii had demonstrated his capacity foBtheipluco. The ditto of his accession tdibbwX'r la not at hand.

The term devil in this artici i3U8ed ! as IJurns used it , to dcsignatv tfco thief of leading spirit the evil oud. _ nr O tlinu 1 Whatever title suit thee.

Con way , the only inodorn writer who has attempted anything like n history of duvlls , says that dunions uro older than the devil. The word demon dalnipn ) sienlilcd a divinity originality tml hns boon degraded , oven us the characters of demons nnd devils have degenerated. Thus in heathen countries .hero . sprang up demons of lire , htiticer , thirst , cold , fever , darkness , etc. ; ghouls , which fed upon the dead , nnd vunipyros , returning from the dond to teed ution the iving. The demons of evil became so much more numerous than the good spirits that the word at last camn to sig nify only what was bad. The serpent is the most commonly accented typo of a ilov'tl in both Christian and heatlion countries. There are , however - ever , scarcely any living animals , birds or fishes , wliosp characteristics are well \nown , to which some tribe or people las not attributed at some tlnlo or other ( i demoniacal nature. The Caucasians mint the devil Llacittho ) ; African noirroes mint him white , and in the Mo/.nmbiqno . ' ' Wicked anguago his came eignllles.'The White Man. " Doubtless UK ; slave trade tas something to do with the origin of this term.

Kach country lias its lovit or devils still , and if one prince of farUness prevails ever all , ancient and nodern alike , one would think ho would lave his hands full , and no time to med- lle in the alVairs ' of this world. There ire devil worshipers , devil charmers and nagtcians , whom devils aid in their feats H the world to-day , as there have al ways been. Savages believe every death to bo caused by demons or their influ ence. 15utof the devil of Christian countries , 'that old serpent , which is the devil and Satan , " ( Rev.x 8) ) , who knows Ins origin and history ? Hml who could not echo : he book-seller's wish. "Oh , that mine enemy would write a book. " The devil has his good qualities ; ho is a gentleman ; ho always keeps his prom ises ; he is punctual and polite ; lie pos sesses skill surpassing that of man in many things beside mischief. And yet Wherever ( ! od erects a house ot praver Theclovll alwavs builds a chapel there ; And 'twill bn found , upon examination , The latter has the larger congregation.
