Tins BEE.I Contrary to general oxjiccta-
tlonn , \vlicatmnrkot was vcry"Bnmoy"to-
dny , and prices advanced materially , though
toward tlio Ust some of the Improvement
was lost. July wlinat sold down to 77 o ,
"on the curb , " last night , ynt this morning
It opened at TTKc , nnd with a very slight re
action to 71c , the market advanced a full
cent. ItlooU about an hour nnd n half for
July to pet to got to 78J c , at which point
f rco realizing caused , ' { 0 reaction , but the re
covery was prompt , and the price went to
78 c. It subsequently broke nack to TS c ,
and the trading thereafter was within the
limit * of 78 @T8c , nnd the close was 78 c.
a net gain of % o ou the dny. December
opened at 70 0 , ranged 7CK@ Kc , anil
closed at 7i > c- Juno ranged at fcO@31c , and
closed nt 80c. Considerable trading was
done In September at 7u70J. c. July

but indisposition to miilto

among the purely scalping element , to whom
the month they trade In is a matter of Indif
ference so long ns tuoy can prompt , "action.
' than July
Doce'tnbor xvas relatively stronger
nnd pained an even cent. September gained
JS c. Tlio weather was favorable In some lo
calities and unfavorable in others. North
western advices Indicate an extension of rain
area In the spring wheat districts , and the
signal service reports clearing up in Kansas
nnd the southwest. Elsewhere in the winter
wheat districts heavy rains are still contluu-
In ? . These reports como In from Tennessee ,
Indiana Illinois , Iowa und
Kentucky , Ohio , ,
Nebraska. Kansas City wires that some
new wheat will arrive thcro this .week . , and
that the movement southwest of there is ox-
pectcd to begin the first week In July.
Ualns have Interfered with the harvnstlng
extent.
In that flection to a very cpnslderuolo
The continuance of rain upon the alrendj
submerged fields of corn made thouncasluess
of short sellers of that cereal still nero pro
nounced than on the day prccedtag , and ,
coupled with small rocc pts , gave some war
rant to their anxiety. A good demand for
shipment both hero and nt the i seaboard , like-
wlso contributed Its nius to the bull side of
tl market , and It was still further assisted
by the strong tone In the wheat market. The
export clearances were fair nud the ship
ments hnnco on a liberal scale , taking into i no-
count the meagre arrivals. New Orleans
Bhipiii-d to Dunkirk , yesterday , IW.OOO uusn-

which was chiullv in near
but the ndvanco ,

covering. Thcro were fuw oats forsalcuntU
prices had moved upward H@X > when the
improvement was checked by free offerings ,
nnd part of the advance was eventually lost.

receipts continued liberal , and local stocks
wcro reduced 109,800 bushels , o. 2 oats , to

The provision trade exhibited a weakness
that was soinowhat surprising. In the face
of a stronger market for hogs , n compara
tively good cash movement , nud nn appar
ently considerable Independence upon the
part of packers , a depressed feeling held
control. Speculative holders acted as though
they had lost confidence and were unable to
discern anything encouraging in the situa
tion Thov were willing to admit the healthy
and legitimate character of the market , but
they believed that the indications were , nev
ertheless , on the side of lower prices. July
property , at all events , was offered free.y ,
and the speculative lines dropped quite
sharply. In pork the day's actual decline
was from lOe to 15c , and in lard nud short
ribs 2K" to 5c. _

Cattle.
Thursday , June 20.
There wore too many cattle at eastern
points and ttio murkots there wcro In n too
unsatisfactory condition to admit of ttio mar
ket hero being sustained , although the re
ceipts were light. The trade was very slow ,
the shippers being timid buyers and the
packers not seeming to want many. While
bomo were calling the market So lower than
yesterday , others 5M10o lower , and
still others fully lOo lower , all were
wcro agreed Unit the market was -So lower
than Monday. As a matter of course good
butuhors' stock would not show any such de
cline , aUliouck It is lower. Choice nutlvo
feeders have not declined to an appreciable
extent , being scarce and In good request , but
as much could not bo said for light and com
mon btockers.
To-day'a hog : market was actlvo and very
nearly So higher. The bulk of all the hogs
sold at $1.00 with n.uito n number of trades in
good light hogs ut $4.03 } and $4.05. There
was one trade ut f-1.07 . The hogs wcro all
sold curly and the puns clnared ,
Sheep ,
The market was bare of sheep r.paln to
day. A load wan received , but It was con
signed direct to a packer aud was not offered

THE DIRECTORY MAN.
Ho Has Certain Questions to Ask and
Ho Askq Tnciti Anyway.
The champion unconscious funny man
is out in Avondale , where ho is getting
the names and statistics for the now
Humiltdh county directory , says the
Cincinnati Times-Star. Yesterday ho
called at the house of a young couple
who have seen just two summers nnd
winters pass over their heads since the
law and the gospel made thoin ono.
"How old IB your husbandV"asked the
'
directory man 'of tlio wife ,
" . "
"Twonty-six.
"And how old are you ? "
"Twenty-four.1
"How long have you been married ? "
"Two yenra. "
Then in the panto cold , far-away ,
official tone , ho aske.d the next question
on the printed list : ,
"Havo you any grown-up children ! "
The young wife nearly fainted , the
oflfort was BO great to suppress the hys
terical laughter that possessed her soul ,
butsho managed to say that their only
child was btill , in the nature of things ,
a baby.
This story is almost equal to the tale
of the man who took the census in C'ol-
logo mil. Ho called on a family whore
there were twins , and , after being told
their ago , ho blandly ana unthinkingly
inquired of the dumfounded mother
whether they were born in the same
stato. Ho had followed his instructions
to the letter , but in so doing hud
thrown common sonsoovorhoard.

About ton 7ears ago some wealthy
young woman of Berlin formed an nnti-
marrying club , each member pledging
herself not to marry under penalty of a
line of 1,000 marks , The club started
with twenty-three members , and boon
had thlrty-ono. Then an opldomlo of
marrying broke out , and the marks
began pouring into the treasury as the
fines were paid , This year at the gen
eral meeting there was but one member
loft , und she had 128,000 marks remaining -
ing of the paid-up fines. IJy udvico ol
the ex-members this sum was divided
into two parts , ono to go to the Berlin
hospitals and the other to the last mom
ber.

A WOMAN RIGHTS A MAD DOG ,
Jllss Mnry Rkntes' Terrific Encounter
With a Unblil Animal.
Thursday a whlto-aml-brlwllo dog ,
itulcr the sway of hydrophobia , passed
hroiigh Lnfnyotto 'between C niul 0
o'clock n. in. , says the Lnyfayotto ( Gn. )
Messoncor. Ho hold his course as far
ns Trlon. a distance of twelve miles ,
vhcro ho turned back and was killed on
TolT Harris'farm , the Wlllbanks place ,
hreo miles above Trion , at 11:80 : a. m.
n his mad raid the dogs that are known
o have boon bitten arc William Mc-
Clatchoy's , John Pnrtnln's , Mrs. Ml-
nncta Wilson's , three for 13nil Sprny-
icrry , J. U. Campbell's and Fletcher
lall's. The cattln bitten are , possibly ,
tobert Hill's four head and Frank Lit-
lo's , Mrs. John Roberts cow , 13on War-
'en's. ' John Agnow's and perhaps
' 'lolcnor Hall's. At Pursloys store
ilrs. Pursloy shot him , and the
ilrd shot blooded , but did not slop him.
After passing A. J. Soscboo's shop ho
oft the road and took through the JolT
larris farm. Miss Mary Slcatos and
Vill Harris had quit work and started
o dinner. Will was the lirst to see
ilm and give the alarm. Thinking she
vonld snvo herself by Illght , ho hurried
way. She was afraid to turn from the
og ; and began to back oil from him.
n his first attack hu snapped her on
ho right arm. She jerked back , and
hovod him olT. Ho then sprang
it her face , one tooth going in
iof upper lip , one near the corner
of the mouth , and two or three in the
eft check. Then with desperate cour
age she boixed him with both hands by
.he throat and bore him to the earth anil
icld him between her knees. Kinsov
Liims , who was plowing a quarter of a
nllo off , when ho heard the cries , un-
litched his mules and ran to the res-
: uo. The handles of throe hoes were
irokan by him in his effort to dispatch
ho dog. This failing , his head was
lounded into a jolly with rocks. Miss
Slcato was promptly taken to Dr. Rutli-
il and a madstono applied with the
) est results. She is now doing well and
s able to sit up.

A writer in a London journal calls at-
ention to the unapproeiatod uses and
ircservntivo qualities of sioapstonc , a
nateriul , lie says , which possesses what
nay bo regarded as extraordinary qntil-
ties in withstanding ntmophftric influ
ences , those especially which have so
nuch to do with the corrosion of iron
and steel ; , it being a well known fnct
hat the inside of a steamer which islet
lot exposed to the action of the salt
voter , like the bottom , corrodes much
nero quickly than the outside. It has ,
oo , an additional quality in this line ,
one which adapts it in a romnrkiiblcdo-
rrceas a protective point for ships , and
, his is the extreme linciicssof its grain ;
ndeed , ground soapstnnp is one of the
finest materials producible , and from
experiments made it is found thrt r.o
other material is capable of taking hold
of the fibre of iron and steel so readily
ind firmly as this. It is also lighter
; hin metalic pigments , and on this ac
count , when mixed as a paint , is capa
ble of covering u larger surface than
sinew-bite , red leal , or oxide of iron.
In China soapstone has long boon
largely used for preserving structures
built of sandstone and other stones
liable to crumble from the effect of the
atmosphere ; and the covering with
powdered soapstone in the form of painter
or some obelisks in that country com
posed of stone liable to atmospheric de
terioration lias boon the means of preserving -
serving them intact for hundreds of
years.
