THE DEI : j Wheat opened this morning
nbout Ic lower than it closed .vcstcrdny , will
snlesof Mnj nt JI OOV 1 ( Kif The ofllciii
opening wns $1 O.i'4 , but there were onli t
fewlridcs nt that. The market ndvancei
promptly to $1 CK > } , It acted tlrm nt $1.
but gradually yielded to the pressure put on
by the bear party. The decline wns vcri
slow at first , but the down movement gnth
eicd ns fractions dropped off. Some of the
big operators Jumped In nnd pounded
nt the market lu vigorous style. Place , the
Pittsburg plunger , made the most noise It
the pit , and probable sold ns much ns nny in
dividual , getting out his line early. Hutob
Insoti nuil Kc.im were also quoted as free
sellers. The layer wns n bujcrontbe break
however. May wheat broke to JI OS yl US\
It recovered to $1 OSJf " ' " 1 then about nooi
sold down sharply tof 1.07V. December In the
meantime having gone from Sl.iHl'i , to f 1 OIJ.
and January from jl.0.1ag to fl.oi. The cov
critic by shorts nnd purchases on suipport-
ing ciders cat He'd the price of May up to
$ l.03.Jjf , but the market did not hold at the
improvement. The tone was weak nnd th
tendency was to sell on rallies. A break to
$1 07 % brought wheat to tbo lowest price
touched since the price crossed these liguros
on the up turn , neatly sixty days ngo. Since
then the market tins been up to $1.2,1 once
ntid to $1.2.2 later. The break of Ific may bo
considered as n pretty good shrinkage In
values. Thu bears , however , Insist that price
are jet too high. IJoinish influences arc
certainly in control at this juncture , no1
only here , but in other markets
Even in the northwest a great weakness I1
apparent , nnd No. 2 northern soH to-day as
low ns $1 a bushel. This grade is not iniito
up to our No. 2 , nnd little better than Chi
cagoNo. 3. It this niurKct the difference
between No. 3 and tbo speculative grade has
been narrowed to lOc. MlllerH say this dis
parity is still too great and that the differ
ence , on the basis for current quotations for
No. 2 , should not bo greater than 8c. The
weather continues brilliant and the move
incntof wheat In the northwest is large.
There will bo a big increase in Minneapolis
stocks this week and thu feeling up in that
section is getting bearish , judging from the
advices that drift in. New York broke
2c before 12 o'clock and closed soft.
The other Anieiicati markets share
in the weakness shown nt the
larger centers , anil-cable news is notcncour-
agine to bulls. The raid tins morning in this
market biought out a great lot of long wheat ,
nnd rather shook ) the faith of some bulls ,
.lust before the close the market cased off
uuickly , and thu closing quotation for Mav
was" fl.OS'f , , December resting nt $1 05 , und
January at * l.04J . This shows a shrinkage ,
compared with iesterday , of 2' ' e m Decem
ber , 2'jc in January , and 2JMo in May. The
closingrango is abmittho bottom forthcvveek.
This nggrogutoof trttdingln the pit was large.
The public is not , hs yet , taking hold with
the reckless nband6Vl'indicative of a sublime
and deep seated confidence in the rock-ribbed
solidity of the market at these prices. Wheat
is coming in ( oo. fust , nnd going out
thiough cxpoil aud consumption channels
too slowly to suit the popular taste.
The brilliant wenthor Is stimulating' country
deliveries , though advices from the interior
go to show that farmers are disposed to hang
to their wheat like grim death , in the belief
that the prices nre going to bo very high next
spring. This is especially true of scctious of
the northwest , and emphatically so of the
largo distilets tapped by the Northern Pa
cific , where the country's reserve , tightly
held , are represented to bo heavy.
Corn opened weak nnd lower , in sympathy
with wheat , and as tbo latter became weaker
after the opening , increasing courage to sell
short was imparted to the local crowd of
speculators. The opening prices were only
about ' ( .c . under yesterday's close , except
for November , which is exceptionally
Influenced by tbo near close of navigation.
The receipts were smaller than had been
looked for , but In the temper of the operators
they were quite largo enough , ana the Inter
estimates ot 5b5 cars for Monday mcreused
the beaiish feelings. The trading in the pit
was dull and principally on local account ,
but there was a brisk business in the cash
mnrkct , nt from I' lSfe under ycstcrdnv's
prices , with premiums still being paid for
jwrcels. No 3 , guaranteed ready for deliv
ery on the vessels , not later than Monday ,
for Liverpool , remains firm and export in
quiry at the seaboard is good. New Orleans
shipped out 52,000 bushels iestci day , and the
amount inspected out of store here
was of peed projwrtions The prospect
of _ heavier receipts , if the weather
remains favorable , and the improve
ment in the condition of near futures
caused a heav feeling to predominate in the
speculative minds. The course of the mar
ket und the feelings all day was for lower
prices , with closing prices at near the lowest
point. November closed nt li'JJ c , being 17'jc '
under yesterday's closings ; December , at
! )7 ) > jC. when it closed , is Jffe lower , and Mav
nt HSJiffrf.'ISJ.fc , shows a loss of ' { , © ' 40 for the
for tlio day.
In piovisions the feeling was quite strong ,
and trading slow , without any special feature ;
jet there was no pressure to sell and the
daj's changes in the market were limited ,
Prices , however , averaged a little higher ,

( } * * . Jay Gould's Ways.
Mr. Grutiily : I am nwuro tfedt Jay
Goukl is not a new snbjeot to write on ,
but , as I huyc seen the man almost daily
. I can tell you the truth nbout
him , nntl nil writers huvo nntiiono that.
Jny Gould ls _ a great coward. When
out In the city alone nt night ho is in
constant dread of being "hotted or felled
with a sand bag. His roMdouco is on
the corner of I ifth nvomio and Fortj-
sovcnth street , nnd it is not an uncom
mon thing for him to tun over to the
"Windsor hotel , ditoctl.v jtcro s the
street , for n little goip , or to visit
j-oiuo railway nmgnnto who innj ho
stopping there during his stay in
the cit.v. He is quk'K in hi movements
and in passing nlong the street ho
looks furtively from side to side and
evi-r nnd nnon behind him.
In that little run fiom hi "own hoiiso
to the hotel ho skijis nimbi } down the
stops from tlio door , and skm-rios across
the street us if he vvoio ptiMuc'd. If
he meets sin.v oiio he v\ill look search-
inglj , almost anUotislj into his faeo ,
and tit the umo time edge away. To
too him n pci on would think that ho
did not dri\v his breath fiom the time
ho left his house until safe in tlio corridor
rider of the hotel , and the change in
the expression of his ftu-o apd his move
ments indicate that ho is glad to bo
in the bright light among men whom
ho hmws.
A a rule Gould does not go to the
Windsor or any other place of resort
oflener than twice a week. Ho spends
his evenings in the soolusion of his
homo in perfect contentment. Ho is
Kno\ui to ho a thoroughly domesticated
man , fond of his wife and family , and
willing to Hiiuondor other pleasures ,
for to him the grcator enjoyment of
their company.
A pertoniil description may not bo
out of place.
To e\erlodv , ) in New York Gould is
known ns "thulittle man. " Ho is much
under the medium height and sk-iidor ,
but Ills liguro is neat and compact. His
head is small , round and high , and
built well tip from the forehead. His
o\os are deep sot. black and sharp , and
hi * no-o is straight and well formed.
Hib lips nro thin and colorless.
It is doubtful if any ono living in New
York oversaw his chin. For twc'ttt.v
years , nt least , ho has worn a long , full
beard , which is kept elosolj trimmed
on the chcoks , hut is allowed to extend
down to about where the second stud in
his shilt boLOtn would be. His head is
covoied with a thick growth of. black
hair that is line anil til Icy. His com
plexion is quite sallow , and his genetnl
demeanor is Suturninn and resjrvod. D
ilis hands are small and shape ! j.
They aio somewhat bony and sinewy in
appearance , and look bettei in gloves
than they do bare. In his dress Gould
is o\.tremoly plain. For years his head
covering has been a blade round hat ,
while during the summer ho bus ap
peared in a stravy or tall white hat.
His ftuorite suit of clothing is some
thing approaching a dark stcel-giay or
poppor-nnd-salt , cut in the oidmary
business style. The vest buttons high
n ] ) nil dor his beard , and it Ih onl\ , when
ho turns his head that his black silk
scarf is exposed. His collars and cults
arc always bciupulously clean and white ,
but unostentatious.
His feet are small and effeminate , lie
is neat about his footwear , which ib
bright in polish. In summer lie wears
low shoes and bright socks. He adorns
himself with no.jewelry ; and as often ns
anything1 his watch is hold by a black
silk guard.
In conversation nbout business affairs
Gould seems to coiisentrato his whole
mind , not only on the subject , but the
person ho is talking with. If lie is sit
ting down ho ib sure to pickup some
thing Iviilg on the table or desk near
him. It may bo a penholder , a tooth
pick or a seraof ] paper. He will twirl
it between the thumb and forefinger of
both hands while con versing , and every
now and then i.iibo his eyes to look at
the person addressing him.
The glance is penetrating , and ho
who meets it fools that Gould is not de
pending on what ho sajs. but Is .seeking
to unnly/o his words. His Keen -black
eyes give great force to his inquiring
looks , but there is no stare about them.
Ho raises his eyes quickly and appar
ently casually , but penetratingly.
'When ho asks a qnp.stion ho is very do-
libcrato in his speech.
He speaks in a low , pleasant tone , and
Ilis questions are usually framed in a
few words. It is a habit of his to allow
the pei-hon seeking1 him to do the talk
ing and to con line himsnlf to answering
questions put to him. Tie is all thu
while apparently giving the closest at
tention and weighing carefully all that
is said.
Ho is non-committal , and very rarely
makes up his mind to do or not to do a
thing while the conversation is in pro
gress. He will say that ho would like
to consider the matter , or would be glad
to see the poison again on the subject.
It is rarely that Gould transacts any
thing in the w.iy of physical business
in Ins ollice , but he is capable of laying
out enough work mentally in half 1111
hour to keep a score of dorks busy for a
fortnight , lie seldom looks after de
tails , but having llxcd his mind on tiio
gonoro.1 scope of a plan , if ho approves
it ho orders it to be earned out by ex
po rionced managers.
He is quick in thu transaction of his
business , and if ho spates an hour for
the consideration of any ono subject it
iniiet bo of more than oidinary import
ance. Ho has little communication with
the people about him in business. His
viow.s in rog.ird to nil 'alculationb or
operations which he controls or con-
tiols are convoyed through hid son ,
Georg * J. Gould.
Gould likes the society of his employes ,
and is comparatively generous to them.
Mon of special ability ho has great ad
miration for and fully appicclates their
worth. It is a singular fact that he
very rarely likes to nee any ono in his
borvico grow rich. Hoieasons that a .1
competency would make thu man indif
ferent and indupundet ,
The language uned by Gould is plain , J
but not ungrainmatical. Ho rarely uses 1
a word of live or six syllables , and \a \ al
ways clear and to the point. H's man
ner is refined and his words , like hi.s
ways , it might he said , uio soft and gon-
t\u" \ Whoiovor ho is lie IB retiring.
niillillnc u Politician , J
A farmer had a son who showed no
special aptitude for business , and ho
was piu/.lod what to do with him. Ho
concluded to try an experiment , BO ho -
locked the boy in a room in which
there wore only a bible an apple and a
dollar. A few mlnutoH later ho stole .f
quietly to the room. He had made up J
his mind that if ho found the boy eat
ing the apulo he would make a good .7
farmer , if hu woru roiidini ? the liiblo ho
should bo trained for thu pulpit , and if M
ho had taken the money liis succchs an a
hiokor , the farmer thought , was as M
sured. Upon entering tlio room ho
found the boy Hitting nnon tfco Hiblo ,
eating the apple , with the dollar in his
pocket. The boy h.icatno an able poli
tician.

nlso some investment demand by ontHido par

latter pait of the week tbu grain markets
generally exhibited moio stiungth. The re

The export movement wns rather light , with
corn commanding the preference , eastern
and foreign markets without much change.
In seeds considerable readiness was mani
fested and prices were well supported ,

supply of hngB , prices declined matcihilly on
