COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Disagreeable Bet-Back WM Given the Wheat
Market Yeatonky.
CORN WAS CONSIDERABLY STRENGTHENED
Illrermnn Pallor * , Combined with the De
cline of ntncks In Wall Street nnd
Disappointing Cable * , Crippled
llailueie Generally.
CIIIOAOO , Aug. 3 , A disagreeable sot-back
was given the wheat market today. The
Mrst rebuff came from the suspension of
Sllvorman , n leading private banker. The
effects of this blow were moro than over
come , but In the last hour the rrmrKot
lumped again on ugly rumors about mercan
tile concern * , the failure to work round lots
of cash wheat for shipment and the light
export business reported from the seaboard.
Corn was strengthened by discouraging
crop news and tonight , compared with last
night , September wheat Is ot ( lo , corn Is
from Jfo to < S c higher , oats nro unchanged ,
lard 1s 45c higher and ribs 25c higher.
Wheat started lower anil weak and during
the first half hour sold off l ) < c from last
night's closo. Besides the Sllvorman fail
ure , the decline was duo to lower stocks Iti
Wall strcot nnd lo some disappointment In
the cables , which did not advance ns much
as many expected they would In view of the
inarp rally hero yesterday. CiaMCSE 3
The market dragged along for a tlmo ,
gradually recovering Its tone hut making no
material advanco. Towards noon Logan ,
Bchwartz-Dupeo and some ether loading
houses got a string of buying orders , and as
there was llttlo wheat for sale the effort to
fill them resulted In sharp competition.
Wheat sold up ljfc from the early docllno.
The crowd became bullish and when the
leaders were observed buying vigorously
everybody seemed to bo seized with thodcsiro
to follow suit. It was a part of the gossip
that Schwnrtz-Uupoo's buying orders were
largely from N. B. Hoam. At this point un
favorable rumors wore being circulated and
a fresh decline began. The market closed
easy at about ) < Ja from the bottom figures of
the il-iy.
Corn opened with o advance and after
selling up Jfo moro reacted % c on the Silver-
man falluro. The depression was of short
duration , as the demand soon improved on
increased buying orders coming In and the
price reacted from JJfo to % c , declined % o ,
ruled steady and the closing was from ifc to
J o from the top. The weather conditions
caused alarm among shorts and a good many
cumo In on today's upturn. The situation in
the Interior is said to be really serious , re
ports being that the crop has boon perma
nently Injured by the scvoro drouth and
every day Increases the damage.
Oats were a llttlo higher early , but cased
off. Business was mostly local.
The provision market was very quiet com
pared with its condition for three days past.
The general Impression is that the bulic of
the stocks have worked into the hands of P.
D. Armour & Co. , and that is considered a
guaranty of comparative steadiness in the
meantime. I-iml was taken to the extent of
4,000 tierces for shipment abroad. Lard was
* actively traded In.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
ICO cars ; corn , ! 550 cars ; oats , 'MO cars ; hogs ,
15,000 hoad.
Freights were slow , but offerings of boats
not largo. Itatcs to Buffalo were" from " ' "
to lJ.Cc on wheat and Ic on corn.

STOCKS AND IIONUS.
Traders on 'Clmngo I'liiyod for n Reaction
In Itiiilnoss Ycntcrdny.
New YOIIK , Aug. 8. The traders at tlio
Stock exchange played Tor a reaction on the
theory that yesterday's sharp rlso would
bring long stocks to market. Tlioy were
assisted in tliolr operations by the breaking
out of fresh troubles in banking circles In
Chicago , by the advance in the Bank of Eng
land rate of discount and tlfb higher rates
for sterling cxohango hero , and also by the
unprecedented scarcity of currcncy.for which
various premiums were paid today. The
largo Issue of clearing house certificates was
still another cause for the decline. It wns
noticeable , however , that despite the efforts
of the bears the market was comparatively
frco from excitement and that the drop in
prices was brought about at the expense of
n material incrcaso in the short interest.
At the start some stocks scored a sharp
advance , General Electric and Chicago Gas
moving up as much as 3 per cent. Subse
quently the market yielded 1 to ( % per cent ,
the latter in Chicago Gas , which foil off from
D3 to 46 % . General Electric declined 5 < per
cent to 40 ; Sugar \ % per cent to Gujjf ; Man
hattan 3J { per cent to 103'f ; Burlington &
Qulncy 3J ! per cent to 73 ; llock Island S %
per cent to 53 % : Western Union 3 per cent
to 75 ; St. 1'aulS per cent to 51 % ; Lacka-
wunna 3 % per cent to 138 , and the remainder
oi the list J to 3 per cent.
Just previous to the close there was a rally
of from } to a per cent , the hitter In Bur
lington & Quincy , and speculation loft off
steady at the recovery. Taken altogether ,
the market received moro effective support
when raided than for many days past.
The Post says : In spite of the sharp ad
vance in sterling exchange , which carried demand -
mand rates today moro than lo above yester
day's forenoon prices , the Bank of England
continues to sell American gold coin. Today
$2,435,000 more was taken for export to Now
York. This may bo the last withdrawal for
the present , but the advance in the banks
minimum discount rate today was less than
had been anticipated and the simultaneous
rlso in Paris exchange on London opens the
possibility of a bencllt to us.
It is not to bo supposed that such a move
will necessarily bo immediate and heavy.
London's gold shipments for the present
week are largely anticipated , based as they
are to a considerable extent on sales of ex
change against grain purchases for future
months. The French importers may not
cheese this to anticipate their bargains ; but
it Is certain , nevertheless , that sooner or
later the exceptional inquiry for our fodder
crops will couio less from England than from
the European continent. The Bank of
Franco lias 810,000,000 moro gold tlmn It held
a year ugo , and $09,000.000 moro than it hold
In IS'Jl. ' It is therefore in that quarter that
the real supply for our future accommoda
tion rests.

Cattle Itecovor Slightly In Price Hogs
Hound Up from the Slump.
i'lnmsDAY , Aug. 3.
The demoralization of yesterday was fol
lowed by very light receipts and somewhat
improved markets. Compared with supplies
for the corresponding four days last wesk
thcro has boon an incrcaso of nearly 4,000
cattle and 1,000 shcop and a falling off of
about 10,500 hogs.
The light supply of useful cattle , to-
gothcr with reports of a steadier mar
ket in Chicago , gave the trade a little
strength , white an increased demand from
local dressed boot homos caused a slight
firming up of values at toast for the moro
desirable beef grades. Thcro was not much
activity to the trade and holders of western
grass cattle said there was no improvement
in prices paid for that class of stock. That
only n small part of Wednesday's big decline
was regained is evident from the fact that
good 1,412-lb. beov9a\ topped the market at
54 , while medium grades sold around 1.25
and J3.GO and common stuff at 1 and $3.10.
The feeling was bolter on all sides , still the
close found quito a few cattle still in first
hands.
The cow markotj today was no better than ,
ft was Wednesday except that there was a
bolter demand fort tljo stoolc. Prices were
as low as they havo' been yet , common nnd
canning cows soiling1 at from 7Sc to $1.25 and
good to cholco butchers' stock at from $1.75
to $ 'J.GO. Calves vroro perhaps a shade firmer
at from $2 to $4.25 ( but bulls were slow sale
at very mean prices- from 75c to $2.10.
There was some life to the feeder trade ,
but priceswero ycry generally in yester
day's notches. Good smootb'OSO to 1,200-lb.
stock sold at from1 J2.50'tofJ.75 , while somO
hbl-thorn' ' " ' " sold
common kndt'-hqads" down
around $1.25 to $1.75. ' Representative sales :

Hoes The recovery from Wednesday's '
bad slump promises to bo rapid If not com-
plote. 1osh receipts were the lightest
since early in April , and with a decrease in
supplies so far tills week compared with last
of nearly 11,000 , hogs , the bulls had a good
argument. There were enough stale hogs la
the yards to make the total offerings over
a.OOO hoad. Fresh meat men wautod hogs ,
and outsluo packers and butchers had good
orders. At tho' ' opijiilng packers were very
indifferent , but toward the close they were
the biggest bullsilu the yards , Cudahy espe
cially bidding high.lmt not getting a hog.
Good to cholco Vltrfht and butcher weight
hogs sold from 'fl.So early up to HBO late ,
while heavy and'mixed hogs sold largely nt
from M.05 to SJ.'J ? , , The trade was active
throughgut andi the clone was at the high
point of the day. jV&ir to good hogs sold
largely at gi.'JO and H'JS against $1 on
Wednesday and M.'JO to $5.25 a weolt ago.

CIIICAOO , Aug. 3. ( .Special Telegram to Tun
.1 There was a partial revival today In
tlia cattle trado. The several classes oC buyers
were well represented , and while there was no
radical advance In any qrado of stock the tone
of the general market was sensibly firmer.
For yesterday's cut of from 20c to 60c there
was no oarlhfy oxciuo. Thcro was an advance
Monday lit the London market of IXcpcrlb.
and the receipts hero for the expired partof
this nrcok have been 2,000 head Hliortof the
number received during thosaiuo tlmo last
week , but tin ) dressed boot "ring" took advan
tage of the Hurry In the down town market to
filch from the wckots of countrymen who fall
Into their clutches from to to tlO per head on
every bullock bought. There were about 11,000
bond of fresh receipts and between 6,000 nnd
O.OOO stiilo cattlo. Of today's arrivals It was
estimated 0,000 were Tcxitns. Siiles of natives
were largely at from (1.00 to 34.40 , while from
12.60 to r3.00 took most of the westerns and
from 11.76 to 13 ttio hulk of' the Toxuns.
Not all the cattle were sold.
The hog market was ( Inner than on Wednes
day , lluyors hud partially recovered their
eoulllbrluiu and woru less Inclined to "bear. "
They fought against any advance , but paid a
moderate ono nevertheless , the average of
prices being about from lOc to IDc higher than
.lor yesterday. Choice heavyweights sold ut
from $4.70 to 94.76 and there were several
sales ot light sorts around $0.20 , Tlio advnnco
In the latter was not ns marked as the advance
In heavyxvolglits. Considering tliu magnitude
of the supply ( there were fully 40,000 head In
the pens ) the appreciation In values , though
trilling as compared with yesterday's docllno ,
was perhaps us great as sellers hud any reason

rot.
The mayor of a western town was play
ing a small game of draw in his olllno
with the city marshal , the editor , tlio
hotel keeper and a councilman , nays the
Detroit Free Press. At flrat the mayor
was in great luck , and ho piled tlio
chips up around him a foot thick , and
then ho began slipping , and before very
Ions ho had only a couple loft. The
next deal gave him a great hand and ho
wanted moro chips , but ho couldn't got
them. The ether fellows were in to
clean him out and wouldn't ' lend him n
cent.
D"Boys , " ho said earnestly , "will you
I allow mo fifteen inluutos In which to
raise " N

They knew ho couldn't ' borrow on the
outside , BO they agreed to that.
"Iloro , Tom , " ho said to a policeman
who was watching the game , "skip out
on the street and arrest somebody quick
and bring him horo. "
Tom skipped in about a minute , and in
about ten minutes ho was back again
with a victim.
The mayor looked the man over.
"What's the charge , Mr. Olllcor ? " ho
said , sternly.
"Drunk and disorderly , your honor.1' '
"What have you got to say ? " said the
court , addressing the prisoner.
"Guilty , your honor. "
"Ton dollars and costs , " decided the
mayor , "with costs remitted if the flno
is paid on the spot. "
'Good enough , your honor , " and the
prisoner pulled out a tenner and rolled
out of the room.
"Gentlemen , " wild the mayor to the
company , l'I huvo u few imnutoH loftbut ,

UNCLE JOSIAU'B ' BEDTIME.
The Dear Olct Man ( lav * Himself a Tom-
por.inuo t.eoture.
Such headaches as Uncle .Toslah had 1
And such doctors ! Tholr oITorts loft the
patient worse instead of bettor. At last ,
however , a young doctor gave Aunt
Polly n proscription which , lie said ,
was sure to help , If not euro , says the
Youth's Companion.
Uncle .Tosiuh was a strict temperance
man. Not a drop of ardent spirits , as a
beverage , had passed his lips , lie was
n man llrm of .principle strong and un
yielding whore his well trained conscience -
science was concerned. The doctor's
prescription was opgnog. Aunt Polly
was to prepare nnd administer it to
Uncle Joslah at his bedtime , when sloop
would follow and the hnmlncho disap
pear.
Very grateful the remedy proved , pre
pared ! under Aunt Polly'H skillful hand.
She was generous to "a fault , and per
haps mixed a thimbleful more than the
proscribed portion of whisky in the
nightly draught.
As the heudacho was n very real fact ,
Uncle Josiah'd ' conscience did not forbid
him to give the remedy n fair trial. His
usual time for retiring was 10 o'clock.
When ho was in bed Aunt Polly carried
to him the fragrant steaming cup.
One night , about two weeks after ho
begun taking the nightly stimulant ,
Uncle Jcwiuh grow restless at about a
quarter to 10 o'clock , and said :
"Polly , I fool pretty tired ; I think I'll
go up noxv and bo ready for my medicine
and sleep. "
"Well , Joslah , it's only a quarter of
10 ; but you do look tired , and 1 will pre
pare it noxv. "
The next week , one rainy night , as the
clock struck I ) , Uncle Josiah left his old
arm-chair , a bright lire and his cheerful
wife. Ho xvas "quite tired out and would
have his nog noxv. "
"What makes you so tired tonight ,
Joslah ? "
"Well , xvorklng about the factory all
day , I suppose , Polly , " and ho drained
his nightly remedy and wont off to sleep-
One xvook later Uncle Josiah's bed
time came at quarter to 0 o'clock ! Ho
wont up stairs , but just before Aunt
Polly xvas ready for him ho called doxvn :
"Polly ! "
"Well , Josiah. "
"Don't bring up that stuff ! I'm ' com
ing doxvn. "
"Coining doxvn ! I thought you were
ready for bed ! "
"So I was , Polly , but I'm coming doxvn
to bo with you till 10 o'clock , and I shall
never take another cup of nog ! "
Ho came doxvn , fully dressed , and
added : 1
"Polly , do jou knoxv why I have been
Rolling tired so early of laUj ? It wnl
just becauio I was In n hurry for that
medicine ; and when ft man begins td
relish whisky as I have boon getting to
do there's a ncrpont lurking near ,
We'll both sit up till 10 o'clock and then r
sloop the sloop of the just. Notanothoi . - *
drop shall pas § my lips , Polly. "
And ho kept his word.
A RUSTIC COMPLIMENT.
The Annoranoo of n .Sculptor Ohangeit la
When Illrntn Powers , the American
sculptor , had his studio in Washington
he employed his spare time in uarvinu
likenesses of the wild animals with
which ho had grown familiar during his '
boyhood daya among the Green moun
tains. It was at this time that ho in ml a
the flguro of the couchant panthef
which no v adorns one of the rocks on
the main driveway In Central park. Ha
was very much interested In this ptoco
of work and did not llko to be inter *
runted , says the Now York Times.
One day a raw miuntnincer from Ver
mont , who had come to Washington to
see the sights , thinking that ho must
not return without paying a visit to his
talented countryman , sauntered into tlitj
studio. Mr. Powers paid no hood ta
htm and did not ask him to sit down ,
but the Vermonter was not abashed ,
He not only remained , but ho came so
close to the sculptor as to interfere with
his work. Mr. Powers tried in various
ways to Intimate that his visitor's room
would bo vastly bolter than his company.
Still ho stayed. At last the sculptor
called the olllce boy and bade htm sweep.
As the studio had not boon visited by a
broom for a month , the cloud of dust
was almost suffocating. The Vermonter
ohokod and coughed , but did not lot go.
Ho still stood with his gaze rlvitod upon
the piece of stone that was receiving
Buch wonderful grace under the skilled
hands of the artist.
At last Mr. Powers could stand It no
longer. Turning to the eounlryman ho
said , with a savage frown : (
' 'My friend , 1 shall bo very much
obliged to you if you will pnt yourself on
the other aldo of that door. " The '
countryman began backing toward the
doorway , not once removing his oyoi
from the panther.
"All right , sir , " ho said , "I'll go , but
but geowhittlkor , what a Qiring sho'i
goln' tor makol"
"That , " said Powers , "was the most
genuine compliment I over received In
my life. What about the man well ,
what do you think ; ' 1 bogged his pardon.
He furnished me afterwards with some
of the best models I over had. "
What' * lii n Nil me.

"And I ani not telling you anything about a

The Secrets
of Pearline's success ? Well ,
there are several. Here are
some of them , just to prove that
its enormous growth was only
natural. First : The ar
ticle was precisely what its
makers claimed it to be ;
it has never changed
no improvement has
been found. Used for
years always alike.
_ Second : The public
was kept informed 'about Pearline. This was necessary.
With anything so new and so different from old ideas , peopl ?
had to be educated. Third : The best advertising Pearline
has ever had ( and it costs nothing ) is from every women who
has used it. She tells everyone how much it has done for her
in all kinds of washing and cleaning ; that while the cost is
nominal , she has found it to be better than anything else ,
always the same , and perfectly harmless ; and that the saving
by using cheaper imitations for a year wouldn't be enough to
pay for one ruined garment.
1' ' Peddlers and some unscrupulous grocers wijl tell yon.
L XT"O 4-1 "this is as good as" or "the same as Pearline. " IT'S
l Jt"VV dJLx FALSE Pearline is never peddled , if your grocer sends
yo7an imitation , be honestit tack. OM JAMES PVLE , New York.
