CutCAno , 111. , Junn 8. WliPfit broke alt rec
ords today 1 > y ( telling down tn G3e a hu. for tlio
cash tirtlclo. tlio lowest prleo over touched on
thn Hoard of Tnulo. Tlio market started linn
nnd for about twenty mlmitcu It looked ns If
tlio Improvement would lust. At tlio end of
that tltno there was a return of yrslordny'-i
wmlmcd , nnd tlio slightly higher prices
which ruled for tlio llino inr-nlloncd WCTO suc
ceeded by a decllno In July tu ! ( c balow the
lowest price It had over previously touched.
Atthoopr-MlnRlUnld from Gfl c to CG'io and
before It. boian ( to decllno It jumped up to 07c
for a tnnincnt.
following that nnd continuing about an
liour in lees were out down by sixteenths and
eighths until July WHS at G.I'.jC nml befoioa
rally of inoro thnn 'ic had been effected It
dropped to Gr > tc. That , at the prc Ptit rate of
discount , would nwko cash or Juno wheat
worth only G3c.
The decline was duo to fear of trouble
niuotiR thoolevntorconccrnsof the northwest ,
nnd was In : i measure ponflmipd by the weak
ness of the Minneapolis markot. July wheat
nt Minneapolis declined to 6C p or O ic below
the lowest It touched hero. The most promt-
nontkollof of wheat hero during the bioak was
Armour&Co. , nnd their wiles wore ruported
us bolus based upon tnirchasos of e < iual inag-
nlluilo In Ilio iclatlvi'ly cheaper nmrkcts of
MlnnenpollH nnd Ihitnth.
Another Item In producing tlio weaUnosswIll
lie the Missouri Mate ciop loport , which ches
thocoTidltlon as 81 percent , compared with 77
per cent nn the previous month nnd as com
pared with 7i ! per cent ns glvon by the Kovern-
mont a month nco. The ncrcncn was i-cportoil
nt 02 per cent of but year's. The receipts at
Chicago were only llftycars , only ( Ivi1 of which
worn contract. No inuio than thirty-two car-
louds nro reported for tomorrow. The market
nuletcd down tiflur thu hrenk. alluded to above
nnd reco\ered a little , Imt theions no grout
buoyancy nnd after rcnt'llng about V' the Im
provement stopped and tlio close was 1'ic
lower for July and 'fc lower for Boiitonibur
than yesterday's llnal ll iires.
In corn theio was coii'.lderablo trading , the
inaiket bolnir ijulto active at tlmci. but near
the close dullness ruled , The feeling at the
opcnlnit was fairly steady , thoiiKh first trades
wrro at fiactlonal declines and MI remained
for some time , or until the shake-up Inhent ,
when bales were free enough to break the July
option Ic from the best point early , while Sep
tember at the Muno tlmn lost " , c. The selling
was overdone and the thorts began buying In
n way that caused a complete recovery before
1 o'clock.
There was a great lot of corn bought against
puts also , as that option was largely traded In
on the curb last night. There was considera
ble clmnglnc from .luno to July at lite , show
ing about l c palil for carry Ing corn. 'J Ids
XVUH the weak feature In the mnrkot. He-
colpts wcio 401 car' . Including 274 curs con
tract corn. The 1'ilday estimate was fiOO cars.
The I'rlco Cu'-ientcalli'd the condition of the
whole crop Improved , The market opened
with July 39'ijc , September 3e ! and up to 41c.
The close was fiom Uc to ; e lower than yes
terday.
In outs there was a fair demand , but no po-
rlal features de\eloped. The offerings for
Juno were light and demand fair. There was
also moilerato selling of July and buying of
September. I'l Ices bad ' , $ ( range and the close
wns at the top llcuros with a not galitof 'icon
Juno nnd H' ' on July and ' ( < ' on September.
Thospeculntho maiket for hog products
continued dull , the voliunuof liuduo'tily being
very light , especially ' " moss pork , there being
Rraicely enough business tn make a utaikol.
The opening HulcaoAhihllcd a .sharp Improve
ment In higher prices for llvo hogs at the
yards , but In the selling of lanl by a promi
nent opei ator the market dec-lined to a limited
extent all around. MoUof thotradlng was for
September delivery. Tradu dining the bal
ance of the session continued light , with only
n transaction now and then , On bnme buying
of lard by a leading commission bouse , the
market reacted to some extent , the
early decllno being partially re
covered. The opening snle.s for pork
chewed nn linurovoiiient of lOc over yester
day's closing ( Inures , followed bv a llttlndo-
cllno. The inaikot then ruled stagnant during
tlio balance of the session , closing firm and
lOc higher than j'esteiday. Trading in lard
was light. The inaikot opened 2'sc higher.
Improved to a UUo uxtcnt , and then doullnod
20c on a prominent speculator selling. July
nnd September lining carried down with It.
July broke 2.ric. The market thnn ruled steady
during tlio balance of the session , Improving
JOc for September on some buying by u promi
nent commission hoiiM1 , and then fluctuating
within a Oc range nnd closing Ilrm , DC lower.
In the short libs market there was very llttln
doing. The market opened Cc higher nnd
then declined 20c In sympathy with the bieak
tin wheat. The market subse < | iicntly Improved
J12je ! , closing I'J'ic ' lower than at the same
tlmo yesterday. Tlio olTcilngs were only mod

NK\T YOIIK , Juno 8 , There was a decidedly
stronger tonu to speculation at the Block exchange -
change today and an Improved feeling In
llnauclnl click's generally , owing to ( ho fur
ther decline In sterling exchange , which has
put a rtop to food exports and the more cheer
ing advices from Chicago , and London purchases -
chases of 16,000 und 20,000 bharct of stocks
and thcro wrro moderate buying ciders for
local hnrbtmunt account. The advance In

The Post says : Money IIM continued to

has been granted at the expense of eastern
commercial borrowers. It Is as plain that the
general situation will not better It until the
hanks appear again with thorough liberality
In the mercantile paper market.
Such action linngH , of course , largely on the
fill lire of the cold nun eincnt regarding which ,
today's developments were , on the whole , extremely -
tromely encouraging. Since grain prices on
the continent of Kuropo have held xteady , the
remarkable prollt for foreign Importers has
been maintained nnd the fresh supply of grain
bills on the sterling market caused today ti
further sharp decline In rates. This was a fa
vorable feature , hut this was a second factor
In the market , perhaps .still more significant
In It.s bearing , both on the gold movement and
on the general situation.
All of the local agents for European bankers
admit today that the orders for Immediate
remittance of maturing balances have been
substantially revoked. Apnarcntly the only
cause for this Is the piesldcnt'.scall for an
extra session.

crease In supplies so far this week compared
with last amounts to about 5,300 cattle , 4,000
hugs and 800 sheep ,
Only once In noaily ten months was the
fresh mipply of cattle lighter than today , In
fact thcro ere hardly enough cattle of anyone

beef men needed and were bound to have all
the useful caltlo hero. They paid from J4.35
to * 4.iO ( for fair to good 044 to 1.158-lb. steers
and as high as 54.H5 for good 1,217-lb. beeves ,
Heavy cattle were scarce and not badly
wanted either. Ono load of talrlsh 1,450-lb.
steels brought $4,75. In general juices aver
aged from lee to 15c higher than Wednesday
on nearly everything and It did not take
buyers long to exhaust thu limited offerings.

$4.25 for common to choice bulls , oxen and

In stockers and feeders thcro was not much
going on. Hoth fresh and stale oilerlngs weio

there were nearly COO more hogs hero today
than u week ago. Condition- , were again
favorable to the selling Intete.sts , and prices
averaged pretty cloo to a dime hlgherthan
Wednesday , making a 20c advance In the tno
days. Hhlnplng buyers till appeared to have
good eiders , thoio was a moderate demand
from fre-h meatmen , and packers were evi
dently perfectly willing to buy hogs at pieseat
prices. The popular price for fair to good hogs
of all weights was Hi,35 , one-half thecntlio
receipts selling at that Ilgure. Good to choice
butcher weight and heavy hogs solit at $0.40
and$0.45 und common to poorllght , ml.\cd and
lough heavies , at JG.2O and $0.30. Toward
noon thu market rather weakened for a tlmo
but after dinner the pens were practically
emptied. The big bulk of the hogs sold at
J0.115 and 10.40 as against $0.25 and $0.30
Wednesday and ? 0.75 to J0.80 one week ago.

Kinds that had to compete with the general run
of Toxin cattle showed weakness. However ,
there was no quotable change In oltlmr claw.
Illg cattle , u\erws of from 1,500 to
1,7H ( ) Ibs. , continue under neglect and
are selling uiibatlsfactorily us compared
with the prices paid for fat Ifzht and medium
weights , neither local nor oulsldo buyers
caring to handle Rteerh weighing over M&O
llm. Cons nnd bulls weio In limited supply
und wuro llrm anil so were stoekon. and feed
ers. Texas c.itllo were again rather weak.
They did not sell materially loner than on
yesterday , but they went very slow at that
flay'i prli' N Iho btaloand fresh recolptH com-
blnei' making a cmiHldorably larger supply
than WHS needed. Iho receipts amounted to
about 1.800 head of which between 3,000 and
4,000 were from Texas. Within thu lust week
about 20,000Te\aH cattle have arrived.
Hogs continue to grow stronger. They aver-
nged Cc higher than for yesterday nnd were
easily mo\ed nt. that ndvance , llecelpls
were not materially Increased , slightly , less
than 1.1,000 head arriving , and ( ho total for

sellers ha\o got back from 2f > p to n5c
of Iho decline to which they were
obliged tn submit at the beginning of the
week , today's Hading being rtono at from JO.fiO
to > 7.10 for poor to fancy lightnnd at from $0.00
to$7.0j for medium anil heavy weights. There
was an average gain ns compared with yester
day's quotations of fie , the bulk of the stuff
selling nt from ? 0.75 to $005. There were
many sales at $7. a few at S7.0.i and at least
ono nt $7.10 , l.lttht hogs continue scarce and
show inoio slrenath than the heavier weights.
There was only it slight falling otT lodav In
the receipts of sheep but buyers appeared to
bo content with the reduction In prices al
ready secured , and they bought fieely at yes-
t < < i dnj'Hq not nt Inn * . They were willing to pay
from } ,1 to f I.Bti for poor to choice Texans and
from J3.DO to ! r > .i5 ! for common to choice na-
tl\cs and western sheep and the day' supply
was bought upon that basis. Not many of the
olTcrlngs were so lacking In quality that It was
necessary to accept prices below J3.7B , nor
wore there many sales at ( tetter than $5.1li.

THE GHOST OF TARA.
IlcaldontR of n Town In Iowa Sao nnd Hoar
Strnngo Things.
Railway mon nnd citizens of Tavn , Ta. ,
are in n ferment of excitement over it
Khost that is said to bo haunting the
Hook Island bridge over tlio Lixxarcl
river. Tlio bridge in question is a binull
wooden pile bridge over tlio North Lin-
zard , three-quarters of a tnilo nortli of
Tara. It was on this bridge that Wil
liam Roberts , a young man working
with a pile driving crew , lost his life a
couploi years ago. The station agent
first discovered tlio haunt ono evening
as ho was going homo for the night ,
lie s-aw the headlight of a locomotive
apparently on the bridge. Ho thought
that a special train was coming and that
the train dispatcher at Des Moines had
failed to notify him. Ho rushed hack to
his instrument and wired Dos Moines ,
asking about the special. Ho was told
thcro was no such train. The ouorator
was mystified and investigated. When
ho got to the trestle there was no light ,
no sign of any train.
A few evenings afterwards Section
Foreman Chilgrin , while returning after
nightfall with'his section men , noticed
the light of a locomotive apparently
moving on the bridge. They stopped
the hand car with a jerk and hustled the
car olT the track to let the train pass.
The lignt came no nearer and after
waiting awhile they put the car back on
the rails and worked up to tlio bridge.
As they approached it the light grow
dimmer and finally ditappeared. There
was no sight or sound of a train. Sud
denly the section men heard the clank
ing and rattling of machinery and then
a dull thud , like the falling hammer of
a pile driver. The men wore badly
frightened and afraid to cross the
bridge. Sincp then a number of skep
tical Tara citizens have seen the strange
feight and heard the ghostly pile driv
ing. Ghost hunting parties are organ
ized every evening , but no ono has as
yet captured his ghobt&hip.
LOST COIN.
Million * Made by the ( iovcrnment Out ol
Unrnileiiincd Money.
A fo\v years ago it was reckoned by a
congressional committee that of the un
redeemed fractional currency outstand
ing , $8,000,000 worth had been lost or
destroyed. Accordingly , this amount
was subtracted from the 810,000,000 pre
viously appropriated for the redemption
of the't-o small ' 'shinplasters , " and was
transferred to the fund for the pitymont
of pensions. It is now believed by
treasury exports that not more
than $1,000,000 , worth of the frac
ional currency has been do-
troycd or lost. They are confident
hat of the Sl,000,000 in finch notes as
yet outstanding , S14,000,000 is in the
hands of portions who hold them as on
riosities. Many are owned by collect
ors , but there are hundreds of thou-
BiuidB of individuals who have retained
specimens "just for fun. " However ,
only a few dollars' worth of them are
handed in to the treasury every year ,
and Unolo Sam will doubtless remain
just BO much ahead. Out of the 8 0,000-
000 worth lirst issued in 18J ( ! 81,000,000
remains outstanding. There were foui
subsequent ihsuos , including ! ! -cent and
f-cont notes , which aggregated 5-417-
000,000. , Of these $11,000,000 remains

Small copper coins are lost in oiieli
enormous numbers that the government
a obliged to keep on coining cents at
ho rate of poveral millions of them
every month. They change hands so
often as to bo subject to a multitude-
nccidenUi and owing to their small
aluo they are not taken care of. This
s no cause of regret to Undo Ham , iiM-
iiiieii ns ho buys the pennies in blank
rom a llrm in Connecticut nt the rate of

L'hilndelDhia , whence all of them nro
ssned , they have merely to be stamped.
There nro 110,000,000 old copper
) onnies somewhere. Nobody knows
vhat has beeomo of them , o.xeopt that
MICO in awhile a single specimen turns
ip in change. A few years ago 4,500,000
M'onzo 2-cent pieces were sot alloat.
L'hrco millions of them are still out
standing. Three- million il-cont niekol

Stntes , but it is very rarely that ono is
Been. Of 800,000 H-onts , which correspond

or recolnago or is held by the treas-
try. Congress appropriates'from $100-
000 to $ loO,000 yearly for re-
coining the uncurrent silver coins now
n possession of the treasury. These
ire mostly half dollars and arc not cir

ibout half that now. The money sot
isido for rcoolning is not Intended to
lay for the cost of minting , but is re-
Iuircd to reimburse tlio treasurer of the
Jnited States on account of the loss of
vcight which silver pieces have sull'ered

THE DODO.
Ho Lives nnd llrrnthos In n Highly Unrolled
AtmiiNphore.
They tell me I am a "Dodo" ' a crea
ture of the Past a relic of an extinct
creation ! 1'orhaps I nm : 1 am cer-
ainly quite out of harmony with my
irefccnt surroundings , says a writer in
Worthington's Magazine. Not that I
tin the only Dodo remaining in the
and ; but 1 fool myself to bo in a pain-
'nlly small minority. As a class , wo
ire utterly powerless to stem the onrushing -
rushing t'ido of "Progress , " as they
call it. T am constantly shocked and
surprised to find those who ought to bo
Dodoes like myself adopting the tone
and conforming to theiii'-agos of the pres
ent order of things. They tell mo this is
icccssnry on their "children's account :
.hey must keep them in touch with the
world. It may bo so ; being dilTcrcnlly
situated in this respect , 1 would not
mdcrtake to na'-s ' judgment upon them.
; 3ut I cannot help doubting whether , in
he innermost recesses of their hearts ,
.hoy hold to the Dodo creed as firmly as
I do. What is the "Dodo creed ; " ' it is
quite Oiit of date , and badly unpopular , I
confess , yet to mo it seems as wise and
is true a creed as when it iir.it was
'ramcd. What I may call its funda-
nontal articles are the following :
1. That change is not synonymous
with progress.
2. That , wealth is not the be-all and
end-all of existence.
y. And that thcro are and always
should bo social distinction and degree * .
Now , to dwell a little upon each of
, hcso points , to prevent the possibility
of misconception. First , then , wo
Dodoes do not object to change simply
is change , for change is sometimes
"progress , " but wo hold that it means
"retrogression" qnllo ns often ns
means "advnuco. "
As regards the second "article : " Thj
Dodoes do not undorrnto tlio Ur
portanco of wealth , nor desplso Its
vantages ; Indeed , they flutter their ,
selves that , ns n class , they hnvo nlwnyj
boon peculiarly titled to enjoy und njl
preeluto those ndvantages. Hut they j

Is abhorrent to hint nnd ail

like social liberties to bo taken win

maintaining that a certain degree of
serve nnd distance between friend arl

friendship.
As to his code of manners , it Is nr
considered so antiinialcd and oxtroJ
agatit ns almost to quallfv him for a ]
mission into Medium ! For lie holds :
1. That old ago should bo rospootc
2. That women should bo treated wi
