CHICAGO MIOHUCK MAHKET3.
CHICAGO , July 20. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEE. ] Wheat was dull nnd lower to
day. The bulls find it difficult to put prices
up lu the fnco of improving northwestern
crop prospects , Impending heavy receipts ,
lack of Actual frco exports and an absence of
abroad speculative inquiry. It li true that
foreign advices are bulllsb , both ns regards
crop and market news , hut then foreign
houses arc generally long for speculative ac
count , and it Is not forgotten that
the foreigners are prone to take
profits on very moderate bulges , and the
scalping trade nrgtics that they are helping
the market up to sell out. December wheat
opened in this market at SOJ/c , which was an
over night gain of MO. Right from tbo open
ing thcro was a disposition on the part of
the bulls to sell out and on the part of the
bears to extend their speculative risks.
Hutch , ns usual , "buckod the crowd , " but
his efforts In that line did not scorn
to bo crowned with success. The price went
to TO c , reacted to TSJ jfc nnd worked down
to 70 } c , with heavy selling below 70K" . The
crowd wns short , however , and the buying
pave the bears a llttlo nervous tremor , set
ting them to covering nnd giving the market
an appearance of a firm closing at some re
covery from the usual inside figures , Decem
ber closing at 70 (270 ( 0. July wheat was
noticeably weak. It opcnca at SOXc ,
sold nt Sic and down to 79c ,
closing nt 79c. September ranged
at 73 ? < i(379J ( c and closed at 77 ? < fc. Trade
wns light In the ngKregato and news of an-
unusually Inconsequential character. It Is
probable that the visible simply decrease
will bo over 500,000 bushels this week. The
average decline In long futures Is | < 3KC-
July lost IJtfc.
The feature of the corn market continues
to bo the excellent shipping demand for the
dally receipts , the argument from which Is
that extensive users of tlio article throughout
the country are content to buy It freely
at the current price , even with very fair
prospects for another good crop. The ad
vance in the price of cash corn is something
more than is indicated by the actual quota
tions , freights having been also gradually
hardening. The clearances for the week
from the four principle Atlantic ports were
GSO.OoO bushels. Near deliveries are feeling
the Influence of the strong demand for cash ,
nnd are relatively firmer than more deferred
futures : The changes in the end from
Friday's closing figures were very slight ,
since July and September gained each 1-lCc.
The balance of the list wns unchanged. July
closed at SSQGJfo and September nt85J @
BOc.
BOc.Oats
Oats wore less intensely dull than yester
day , though not active , with nearly the pre
vious prices continued. Pair trading WIM
noted in , July , chiefly at 22c , nnd later
offered nt that , with September
nt 2lX@-"c , and May cany nt
the former point ot 25 ? c. Crop
conditions were generally favorable and
with plentiful supplies of old oats In the
country yet to come forward. The long side
of the market received little support. No U
oats to go to Bloro were steady at 22J.Cc.
Local stocks were reduced 40.395 bushels.
Provision traders were favored with a
stronger market. The opening generally
Wiis nt prices closely corresponding with
yesterday's closings , and .during the morn
ing the changes made were in un upward di
rection. Unexpected buying by leading
packers made the shorts feel uneasy , nnd
Induced a good many of the la to persistent
bears to change their tactics. During the
first hours of the session there were more
buyers than sellers , n strong feeling held
control nnd better price * prevailed. Later ,
when the buying became tnoro restricted ,
the trade eased off , yet the day closed at a
substantial improvement , which in pork
amounted to lOc , In lard to Go und in short
ribs to SQI c. September was througtiout
the favorite futura delivery. It sold at
flI.12 @ 11.37Jf for pork , frt.BO@rt.87U for
lard and $5.00il5.72 } < for short ribs. Porlc
for September closed at $11.25 , lard at
$0.85 and short ribs at $5.05. Pork und short
ribs for August ranged iitTJ c and lard ntlOc
under September. The only winter month
receiving any special attention < vas January ,

New YORK , July 20. [ Special Telegram
to TUB QBB.I STOCKS At the opening ol
the stock market to-day there was every in <
datlon that the half day would close the
weir without important action. In railroad
securities nnd trusts a spirit of weakuesi
prevailed. Higher prices sent by London
had llttlo effect and first prices huro wore
Jf per ccut lower tUuu last uighU Furtuei
declines were established In early trading
when all animation disappeared from the
market. Grangers , Missouri Pacific nnd
Northern Pacific preferred were the only
stocks showing any animation at any tlmo ,
and In those share's the losses were the most
conspicuous , the Union Paclflco losing J { nnd
thoAtchlson per cent , whllo others de
clined smaller fractions. Dofora the end ot
the hour there wns a Might reaction , with
promise of a better closing. The slight up
ward turn In stocks after 11 a. m. was of
short duration. Liquidation again set in and
prices declined below the bottom figure *
early. The Missouri reduction of rates
helped the bears. Asldo from this there was
no feature to the market and the close was
dull at about the lowest prices.

Kjlvla GcrrNh'H Pretty L Imbe.
This Sylvia Gorrish. by the wtiy , is
ono of the moat remarkable women on
the stage , says a Now York letter to the
Chicago News. She isn't pretty , she
can't sing , but she has the most wonder
ful legs and feet in the world. Nothing
like them has ever boon scon before ,
nothing ever will again. They htivo
walked with her right into fame' , popu
larity and n big salary. She doesn't
sing anything nor say anything , she
simply walks down to the footlights ,
poses and prances , turns round and
round BO that they may be scon from
every point , not oven undertaking to
dance with these beautiful logs lest such
muscular elTort might spoil their fault
less symmetry , and the enthusiastic au
dience cheers nor with ono accord nnd
wants hoi1 to do it over und over again ,
which she is never loath to do. She
stands live foot five inches on her
French heels , but the slippers to which
these high heels are attached are only
marked No. 1 , and by honest count , too.
The owner of the Thistle so worshipped
those beautiful.feet that he tilled ono
of her tiny satin slippers with cham
pagne , drank to the tiuccoss of his boat ,
and then nailcd.it to the cutter's mast ;
and though it didn't bring him luck ,
ho did not cease to worship at the
owner's feet until his defeated racer
bore him away from the shoro. These
beautiful legs served excellently as sea
legs as well. The owner is ono of the
most ardent yachtswomen that over
sailed the seas , and she can handle a
wheel against any female on the coast.
She has lovely apartments hero in Now
York , 1'ttorod all over with bric-a-brac ,
which divides her affection with the
sea and Wagner's music , and she really
has some vury good possessions in this
lino. Exquisite old Moorish drinking
cups of gold and sihor , covered with
most beautiful incised work , old Per
sian vases , Japanese porcelains and
Aztec pottery , all of which have been
presents to her. And sprinkled in
among those are every bert of sea tro
phies , including an endless number of
photographs of yachts , some of which
she has bought and many taken herself ,
for nho is a skilled amateur photo
grapher , like nearly every other per
son ono known nowadays.
The nollcf of 'irasliy Novels.
"People may say what they like
about trashy novels , " said a Baltimore
lady of wide literary acquaintance to a
News re-porter" but I must Bay that nt
times they are bettor than medicine
for me. I am , as plenty of other women
are , a natural 'worrier ; ' that is , I am
given to borrowing trouble and looking
ahead with apprehension of disaster to
come. I should have been born u
man , 1 sonuitimut ; think , and thus com
bat with the world myself ; but sitting
at home as I do , the mother of a family ,
and having to wait und watch my hus
band trying to lay up something for out-
old ago in his own way , I easily fall
into the habit of useless worrying about
the future , which tends to stimulate regret -
grot for the past , and often , I am sure ,
makes the present unnecessarily un
pleasant for those around mo. For this
'disease' I found u remedy in silly
novels , When I feel a worrying mood
coming on mo now I fall to reading
them They keep mo from thinking ;
they Bootho mo into dreamless slumber ;
they require no mental effort for their

The kissing habit has been carried to
its greatest extreme among English
speaking people , and people of other
blood are often amazed and amused by
the universality aud cheapness of the
kiss among the English nations , snys
Good Housekeeping. It Is not neces
sarily an argument In its favor , however -
over , that it is thus found to bo an ac
companiment of the highest civiliza
tion , for it may bo promptly rotortctl
that vicp and crime also increase with
civilization , and that even civilized and
rofincd people often keep nlivo barbar
ous practices inherited from savage an-
oostry. The kiss , In its proper func
tions , has n fine significance , nnd maybe
bo mnilo the vehicle o ( the purest emo
tions , the honest oxpretsion of legiti
mate feelingn greeting full of genuine ,
voluntary sympathy and lovo. The
kissing habit is an abuse and n misuse.
It has brought the kiss Into disgrace
nnd inndo it vulgar , cheap and hypo
critical. De it the province of this gen
eration of rollnomoiit nnd education to
rescue it from its degraded estate anil
restore it to its natural olovntcd and el
evating place and use in the social
economy.

institute at Hio do Janeiro only ono
dlod , nnd that ono had neglected to fol
low tlio treatment as directed. In
sixty-two of these cases the dog by

questionably mad ; in the others it wns
impossible to determine positively the
dog's ' condition.

On Thursday , in Rnrltnn , n party of
fishermen out for sport had more than
they bargained for. After catching a
lot ot fish with hook nnd line they de
termined to try net fishing. Their first
haul was u brace of shnrks weighing 900
pounds. The nets were badly torn , for
both llsh struggled fiercely for their
lives. It was impossible to drag them
into the boat without first killing thorn ,
and harpoons , spears nnd boathooka were
energetically plied. The smaller of the
captives soon succumbed , His big com
panion fought almost ns long ns n shred
of his body hung together , and was lit
erally cut to pieces before no dlod. Ho
was about nine loot long and weighed
500 pounds.
