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.

NKW YORK , April 23. ( Special Telegram
to the BKE.I STOCKS. There were no sen
sational features in the stock market to-day.
At'Uio opening there was some selling on
fear ot political troubles In Europe. The
London market for American securities ,
however , was higher all around , and this
gave a reassuring tone to the dealings on till ?
side. ' New England was again rather weak ,
t lie JJal emnn party being conspicuous sellers.
8. V. White and ; hls following bought cbal
stocks and strong bull points were out an
Lackawanna and Delaware & Hudson. A
good dual of Interest attached to the bank
statement , which was regarded as quite
favorable. Western Union exhibited more
strength than for a long tlmo und the point
was out tlmt people who had been accumu
Intlng the stock for some tftne were about tc
glvo It a lift. Late London advices reported
a better fooling abroad and good buying ol
American stocks. The railroad earnings foi
the third week in April were In every In-
stancu favorable , showing good gains as
compared with the corresponding period lasl
year. At noon the market was steady , sale ;
to that hour aggregating 104,000 shares ,
During the latter part ot the day the onlj
feature to the market was the firmness Ir
dealings. Oroiton Navigation moved up 5
per cent and Oregon Transcontinental ad ,
vanccd In sympathy. Rumors were current
tff a'blg bull deal In Union Pacific and etroris
parties were said to be quietly absorbing It
St. Paul was the weakest-spot In the market
and In spite of the strencth of the genera

WHO IS OLD SATAN ? '
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.
Mcsos rcGoruVtlint idolatrous people ,
even in his time , "sacrilici'd to devils anil
not to God.lt oWhother all the devils of
the earth wirilHlcscendcd from one com
mon ancestor or , not , some future his
torian mustulctermine. The term devil
in this artici i3U8ed ! as IJurns used it ,
to dcsignatv tfco thief of leading spirit
the evil oud. _ nr

, 'f he devils 'of the Now Testament were
demons or evil spirits , such 03 have ex
isted from the earliest times among all
peoples. ' Those which were cast out of
Mary. Migdulcu , aud VUoic ' of the man
whlcli caused ( ho swlno to com *
'
mltsuicide , wore more f c.rvants or hups
of Siitttn. lint It was tlio nlfisti'r devil
who trim ! for forty ilays to jiet tin * Savior
nto Ills power , us Is recorded In Luke ,
chapter iv.
iMoncure D. 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.
The number and multiplicltv of devils ,
lemons , dragons , hydras , Titans and
monsters of every sort that have existed ,
'rom ' the earliest times down to our own ,
s astonishing. 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.
Yes , he oven climbs into the pulpit , for
10 "hath power to assume n pleasing
ihape , " and can'also "cite scriptures for
liis purpose. "
