There has been no material change in
prices. Sugar Is weaker nnd declinlnir , Hlo
coffee Is In very liberal supply , and the tend-
cnci of prices Is lower. Thu llmir market is
without life , and millers tire talking of formIng -

class creamery and dairy butter , while
poorer grades are neglected.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MAHKCT.
CHICAGO , Nov. 17. [ Special Telegram to
TUB UKE. ] The wheat market WAS heavy
anil seemingly ready for a break nil tiny , yet
it was n stubborn market mid resisted raids
with stolid strength that sorely trieil the
nerves of "short seller * . " This was the
rase until the session was well advanced.
Then the deluge. The first feature of note
wns the rapid selling of n big line of wheat
by Schwartz .t Dupee , with seeming deter
mination to break the market. Largo lots
were offered a shade under the market \intil \
May was pulled down from $1.11) ) to Jl.ii.'f : {
(91.14. ( When the pressure from that source
relaxed the price rebounded totl.ll'.f. It sub
irquently worked baek to fl.ll , and for nn
hour or more hung at 31.14@I.14 > . Then ,
shortly before 1 o'clock ' , pressure WAS put on ,
nnd the market was beaten down to 91.1' % .
There was n strong light around 8 .11 % hut
the market soon gave way , and fractions
dropped oil rapidly. It took but a moment to
traverse the distance from | I.l3f ! to l.li % .
With scarcely n p.uiso the price went to
$1.1 3'4' ' , Where.r.ftcr a trilling delaya start was
made for $ 1.13. Thocloso wns : fl-l'X@l.13 ! for
May , and fl.ll for December. This'makes n
loss on the day of IJJfe for December and \\4 \
( ffil c for May. The dealings wore hoav.y
the last thirty minutes , and a declining ten
dency overwhelming. A ray of light may bo
found for bulls in the fact that the difference
between contract wheat and No. 3 had nar
rowed 2 } c in the lait two days. It was given
out early that Fatrbank had unloaded the
last of his big line of wheat through
Schwartz & Dupco , but on the other hand ,
parties who are very close to that gentleman
say that ho had expressed his intention be
fore going east to hold on to his wheat , re
gardless of immediate fluctuations. That ,
however , was before ho came into personal
contact with the Intensely bearish crowd iti
Now York. Ho may have modified his views
since , In any event , the importance Of Fair-
liank's ' position has been quoted at its full
value. Ho is said to have been long only
about 2,000.000 bushels , instead of 7,000,000or
8,000,001) bushels , as reported by gossipers.
The llrst effect of the unauthorized announce
ment that Fairbank had sold out was to
btaco up the market , but later another view
was taken of it and the crowd acted as
though a terrifying bug-a-boo had been re
moved. Short sellers operated with more
confidence than usual. The bull-dog in their
path had abandoned his post. Hutclilnson
was on all sides of the market. Ho was buy
ing and selling at every point , appearing
sometimes in the guise of a raider , and again
as a buyer at top prices. The crowd has ap
parently given up trying to guess who lias
been doing the .steady buying that was noted
for two or three days , thejnysterious de
mand having been seemingly satisfied around
$1.14. For want of definite knowledge on
the subject some of the wise ones attributed
the buying to Armour , hut that tip was quite
us ineffectual in bolstering up values as
I'illsbury's letter. Tim Pillsbur.v epistle has
developed its greatest power in its kick-liko-
n-kauguroo. The market was weakest and
most active the last half hour. In that
time it broke a full cent and closed weak
and limp at the bottom. Hutchinson
was a big seller on the break. Indeed , ho
started it on a report that the receipts of
wheat In Minneapolis on Monday would he
nearly seven hundred cars. On the break
there was brisk selling on stop ord < * t "for
long account. " It was generally supposed
that cables wcro steady , but the situation
abroad cannot bo said to bo favorable to the
bulls. The domestic situation also seems to
bo destitute of fresh bullish inspiration , and
some of the best friends of wheat do not an
ticipate a change for tho. better until the
stocks of Hour are reduced considerably.
The mills are very generally curtailing pro
duction for the present.
The receipts of cocn were 29 cars over the
estimates made yesterday and 6,000 bushels
more wcro added by canal. In to-day's in
spection returns there were five cars of new
corn and three of those graded No. 2. The
weather was ugain clear and frosty , which is
of course favorable to freer movement of this
year's crop and to an improvement in its
condition. The Liverpool market wns quoted
dull and slight. A reduction was quoted for
spot and November delivery , but more de
ferred futures were unchanged. The prin
cipal influence was the weather and its prob
able effects , and those were not liv favor of
higher prices. The business done was again
very limited In amount. There were few
outside orders and they , as fur as could bo
ascertained , were principally to sell. A
weakness developed in wheat was another
clement of weakness which was felt most
near the close. May future was in fairly
good demand , though it suffered in price
along with the others. November closed nt
39 0 to-day , neainst 40 } < o yesterday. De
cember was ! ! 8c nt close , which is X ( i > : ! c
lower than the resting price of yesterday ,
and May closing at 3SJ ; bid to-day is * { c
under the closing prieo on Kridny.
Provisions Attracted increased attention.
Cash property was again in good demand ,
and in a speculative way trading was moro
general and larger in volume than
on any day during the week. On morning
call , sales , made for future delivery ,
amounted to 23Mfa , barrels of pork , 0.500
tierces of lard and 250,000 Ibs. of short ribs.
Increased buying by distributive trade ,
coupled with meager stocks here , has finally
turned the tide , nud to-day the hull side was
favored with a strong , as well as an active ,
market. Higher prices were realized with
out trouble , and well maintained throughout.

This company proposes to assist people to procure homes. It builds houses costing from $2,000 to $10,000 on lots owned
by the iippliciint. on monthly payments ; or it buys lots and builds houses for thorn on n payment of twenty per conl. of the
cost of the house and lot , nnd the biilancu in mouthy payments ; these monthly payments extending over u period of ten
years.
In tlio event of the purchaser's death , prior to tlto completion of the ton years , the whole of the balance of the debt
renmiimijr unpaid is cancelled and the homb becomes the absolute property of the heirs.
This plan places a homo within the reach of every man ; at a lower cost than by nnv other plan , the payments not ox
ccediiiff a fair rent. Best of all , in the event of death , the debt is cancelled , thus securing the family a homo under
any circumstances.
Every citizen of Council Bluffs ami Omaha is invited to call at our olllco and examine plan.

scoldinfj1 Chamberlain for fjoinp across
the sea for a second wife , even thoufih
she is a lineal descendant of the 1'il-
fjrim Fathers. The Pall Mall Gazette
says :
The advent of the American girl into
English society at first was a curiosity.
It boon became a portent. It is now as
suming the dimensions of a menace.
Before long it will be recognized as a
calamity. Of all forms of competition
there .is none so deadly as this. Wo
can stand our farmers being ruined by
American corn ; 'we can listen un
moved to wails of the graziers made
bankrupt by the influx of American
beet , but the American girl is too much.
Already wo hear the murmur of the cry
of the drawing-room , of the despairing
Belgnivin mother who sees season after
season American girls swoop down
upon the most eligible partners
and cut our native girls out before -
fore the eyes of their distracted par
ents. That cry is growing , and before
long will rival the lament of the Pacific
coast of America over the influx of the
heathen Chinee. We are being ruined ,
not by Chinese cheap labor , but by
the bounty-fed compotion of the Amer
ican girl. Now , can wo cope with it ?
What is to be doncV Are wo to impose
a prohibitive tariIT on this description
of American produce ? The Prince of
Wales of course is most to blame in this
matter. Instead of discouraging the
disastrous influx of American beauty , as
was his bqumlen duty to every good
Briton , this unconscionable prince took
the fair intruders under his .special
patronage.
An ingenious correspondent lias re
cently sent us a suggestion that the
true way in which to give the Ameri
cans tit for their recent tat in the Saclc-
villo owisodo was for his royal highness
to boycott the American element in
London. We fear the prince is too
much of a free-trader to listen for a mo
ment to any suggestion of reprisals , and
wo must look elsewhere for remedies , if
remedies there may bo , for this intoler
able competition.
The advantages of the American girl
in the marriage market are briefly
these : She has more intelligence anil
moro money. She is not kept ip a band
box , but has practical experience in af
fairs. Her education , as a rule , is bet
ter , and if her complexion is not always
to good she makes up for itby a fortune.
It is curious that so many of the English
who have married Americans hnvo tried
an English wife before tho.y ventured
upon marrying her American rival.
Mr. Chamborlnin is a case in point.
Poor John It. Siilllvnn.
Boston Herald : Yesterday John L.
Sullivan was a happy man. He walked
from his homo at the South l nd down
Washington street with his face
wreathed in smiles. His devoted nurse ,
Hayes , walked by his side , but only as a
cplnpanion , because John needed no as
sistance to got along , und seemed
stronger in the legs than he lias boon nt
any time since his illness. . To a llor-
ald man , who mot him , Sullivan looked
as well , if not bolter , than for a long
time before his recent illness , nnd said
he was fust recovering his health and
strength. He had thrown his crutches
away , and hoped ho would never have
occasion to use thorn again. Tlio sore
ness had nearly all left his legs , and lie
felt strong enough to go and got a
Turkish bath , which ho thought would
help him very materially. He got the
bath , and afterward went home feeling
like a now man , and looking just as
chubby and contented as ho did early
in the iluy when he loft his homo with
out his crutches for the first time since
his illness. Now that he is able to go
around again without assistance , his
friends conlldontly hope his recovery
will bo more rapid than it lias been , and
ho will soon ho able to show them that
ho is as vigorous and powerful as ho
wns in his younger days.

holders Into Sending Their
Stocks Home Discounts.
Cnic.ioo , Nov. 17. ( Special Telegram to
TUB BHB.I The situation in monetary
circles is much tlio sauio as last week ,
.Hunkers report a good healthy demand for
] discounts from nearly all lines of business ,
the only diminution in calls compared with
the preceding three or four weeks was from
grain operators hero and at interior points.
The decreasou call from such borrowers was
mainly due to the had weather , which dimin
ished the fanners' deliveries to a material
extent , but the small demand from such cus
tomers was largely madu up by enlarged
calls from other sources. The indications
are favorable for an early recovery in de
mand from interior borrowers , as the close
of the lake navigation may be expected
within another week or ten days , aud the
accumulating supplies of grain that follows
will necessitate an enlarged demand for
money witli which to carry it. Pork paek-
incr at all the leading western points Is
also absorbing money with considerable
freedom , and all the indications favor
an active and strong loan market for
some time to come. There are ,
few reasons for predicting an llncomnarahlo
stringency during the next four or llvo
mouths , unless European holders of Ameri
can railway nnd other stocks become frlght-
cncu tu. the unbusinesslike management of
many of our leading roads and send thnir
shares homo in sullicicnt volume to draw
large sums of gold from this side. Discount
rates arc strong at 0@J per cent , 7@3 per
cent being the ruling figures for time loans.
The shipments of currency to the country
were fair and wcro mainly to tlio live stock
districts. New York exchange w.is m mod
erate supply and sold at 2.1 per cunt discount
to 40 per cent premium per 1,030 , and Closed
nt 25 per cent discount and at 30 per cent pre
mium. Foreign exchange was lirm on thu

The mercantile jobb ing trade in all leading
lines of goods , although n trifle better than
last week , was slow. The sales wcro mainly
confined to lllling orders , and tno demand of
dry goods was lessened by the absence of a
sufficiently low temperature to increase con
sumption of lieavj fabrics , A largo business
was transacted on thn Now Vork tttoek mar
ket during tlio past week. An unsettled
feeling prevailed , and prices on the majority
of nctlvo properties HUfCcrod some deprecia
tions , The chief exceptions , however , were
Nuw England's , which advanced four points
on rumors that the Vanderbilts wcro trying
to secure iln control , and Cotton OH certlll-
cates and Chicago gas trusts , Tlio last two
named wore bought fruely on the cry that
they were Intrinsically worth moro than
thulr present selling value and would soon bo
paying handsome dividends , Although no
nutnority was tflvon for such statements they
were bought with such freedom that prices
advanced 2 ( < i3 points in tlio face of a de
clining market for other securities. The dis
turbing fuaturo in the general list , was
the cut of 30 © 10 per cent in
west hound rates by Vandorbllts.
The reduction was Immediately followed by
further cuts by the Pennsylvania ana other
linos. Holdorti of securities bccumu scared
and sold frnuly. London and largo bear pro
fessionals also took a 1mm ! and Hold heavily ,
und n largo decline resulted. An attempt on
the part of the "shorts" to cover checked the
downward current and started prices up
ward , and fair rallies resulted. Stocks which
showed bo much strength early bocanio
weaker , as tlio general list advanced , und
moderate rcalUIng produced a good decline ,
and about all early gains In Gas Trust and
Cotton Oil certificates was lost. Grangers
were effected to a moderate uxtont by the
cutting of rates on cattle and packing liouso
products from Missouri rlvur points , und fair
declines were recordoil , Total sules on tlio
Nuw York exchange during the week wcro
1,435.103 shares.
Considerable business was transacted In
produce circles during the past week , yet the
market exhibited no particular excitement ,
nnd changes In prices were slight. In thu
speculative branch ot trade there was no par.
liciilnr activity and no features wcro pro-
scitoil of bufilcient Importance to have any
marked influence on the course of the
markets. In ( .hipping circles about the usual
volume of business was transacted , ordi-ra
from casters markets being received In fair
numbers , though mainly from Interior
poiuts. Until within the past day or two the
weather has been somewhat warm and un
seasonable , and farmers have given their
fall work , which hus been delayed some what ;
rather more attention. Now that the
weather has turned colder the Increase in
the receipts of farm produce at interior
points may be looked for nnd the quality of
the new corn is somewhat improved. The
receipts of grain at leadinir western markets
were fair for the season of the year ,
and shipments wcro quito liberal.
The supplies in leading grain contcrs show
an increase of wheat and rye , and a decrease
of corn , cats and barley. The export move
ment in grain has boon light , excepting of
corn , while in provisions there has been a
considerables mcroaso in all articles. Tlio
prices of grain have advanced slightly , but
arc not of suflleicnt interest to attract much
attention. Provisions ruled higher early in
the week , hut closed easier ncain. ' Seeds
have shown a little moro strength , with
prices rather more favorable to sellers. The
receipts of live stock were larger at all the
principal western markets , but are still loss
than for the corresponding time last year.
The packmgof the west shows a further decrease -
crease , and is now estimated at 202,000 , hogs
less than the returns of lust season , to date.

Chicago Tribune : Ho had evidently
risen from a good dinner a few minutes
before , had the tall , portly man who
strode down Dearborn avenue about 8
o'clock. There was a contented ex
pression on his ruddycountonance. Ho
was smoking an exquisitely flavored
cigar of the kind that costs 125 cents
apiece. Altogether , ho presented a
picture of prosperity that attracted a
shabby individual who slunk out of an
alloy. lie stood with cap pulled well
down over his eyes , shivering in his
thin coat.
"Excuse me , sir/he / said. "Could I
speak to you a minute ? "
Without waiting to receive permis
sion , ho plunged into his story. The
first words of it brought the diner-out
to a standstill.
"I'm just out of the .Toilet peniton-
lentiavy. J won't say I was innocent ,
for I was guilty. t was drink that leu
ino to steal. I want to leave my pass
life behind me , sir. I want to got work
and begin anew. But I can't , 1'vo
walked the streets thirty hours without
> deoj ) and without food. Once I wan
near having a job , when I saw the po
liceman tlmt arrested mo coming up the
street , and 1 went away. I'm tired
with cold and hunger. I never bogged
before. Will you liclj ) me , sir ? "
There was a glare in his otyos and a
hollow eagerness in his voice. Tha
diner-out had listened intently.
"My friend , " said he , "I don't know
whether you are tolling tlio truth or
not. I hope you aro. If you liavo fallen
into evil ways and been punished for it
there is no reason in that why you
should despair. You have life loft , and
while there is lifo there is hope. It 'is '
never too late to mond. Some of the
best und greatest men have risen to
glory out of the ashes of tholr former
lives of corruption. "Take this , " and
he balanced a coin between his lingers ,
, 'hut don't sponit it for drink , Lot it
help you to bo a man. Determine to bo
one , and to make the world look up to
yon instead of down upon you. Good
night. "
Ho dropped the coin in the trnmp'a
outstretched hand and entered tlio
darkness. The unfortunate hastened to
the nearest gas lamp and looked at thu
coin which lay in his hand and Jilled
his heart with such wild hopes.
It wns a nickel.
