CltlCAOO , Nov. 18.rWhent opened wcnk
todnj' , lint closed strong and at an advimco
of } ic. The strength WIIB miilnly iluu lo the
largo seaboard engagements nnd tile for
clgn demand , which shuws no signs of fall
Ing off. Other markets were wetik , corn nm
oats declining ' , ic nnd provisions from "Vic
to 7'ic. '
Wheat started In an Inausplcloim manner
today. It opciutl apparently very weak ni
"io per bu lower than the closing price ol
thu day before nnd that principally or It
might lie said entirely because of n decline
of Hid nt Liverpool. The crowd hero wnn
quite prepared to follow any l > lg bear leader
but none materialized. Opening prices for
December ranged from 7Co to TC'.ic. ' but In-
wide of an hour T'CSio to 777Jc was quoted.
After the offerings brought out by the openIng -
Ing cables were out of the way the demoral
ized fouling soon disappeared. It was soon
found that nearly l.Vi.uOO bu. had already
been taki-n here for export , partly No. 2
pprlng , which had been Hold nt VAc over the
price of Di-fpinlKT. Tin- second Liverpool
cabin was decidedly better , and the leports
that farmers' deliveries were falling oft
wore confirmed by the northwestern re
ceipt ! ) , .Minneapolis nnd Dllllllli reported SOT
< : : IIM. as compared with VXi last year. Under
tlio Influence of such news the N-ntltnenlH
soon got bullish ; thu shorts took fright and
covered freely , while the. frlcnilH of wheat ,
who have been held In check for some days
by the downward tendency , had their cour-
ngp renewed nnd were good buyorH. The
most Important news , however , nnd the real
sustaining Influence of the market , came
from the seaboard. Australia took three
riirgoeH yesterday up to the close of 'change
iiml two more later In tbe day. South
Africa was also a purchnwr of 600,000 bu.
there , and an Australian cablegram to u San
Francisco merchant said that country would
still require about 4r , noOUO bu. December
udvanecd steadily to 78c. Tlien n reaction
carried the price back to "T.ic. The decline
was only temporary , however , nnd the price
tended upward from that point , bringing
7Mic nt tbo close.
Corn was heavy and prices lower , princi
pally on account of the Impression that very
shortly there will bo considerable pressure
of now corn. The principal selling was by
houses which are In eloso connection with
the country dealers. The market was gov-
rrnod early by the course of wheat , but
failed lo rally materially when that cereal
ndvaneod. May opened Me lower nt l7c ! ,
sold In tinm 2i-i4o to ! fic , declined to 27-c
nnd closed easy at 27c.
In outs at the opening a slightly easier
feeling was apparent and prices gradually
nought a lower level. Tliu wrntcncsM In
whtat was the starter , and froc selling by
Iho par lira who yesterday bought assisted
to a great extent In the lowering of values.
May started a shade lower at from 22c to
22'iC , declined to from ZlViC to 2n c nnd ral
lied to 22c , where It closed.
Provisions continued In the downward
course today. Hog receipts though smaller
than expected were large enough to cause
lower prices nt the opening. There was
Feme reaction In sympathy with the rise In
wheat , but the pressure of offerings again
drove prices down , ulthouili lard and rib ? '
resisted stubbornly. January pork closed
"He lower nt $7."i2V4 ; January lard 2'Ac ' lower
at from $1.S7',4 to 1.90 ; January ribs 2140
lower nt $ .1.115.

Influences seemed to favor that position , IncludIng -

I apprehension of renewed rnto disturbances In

and continued moderate telling or our securl-
I tics for foielgn account. As a inntter of fact ,
bowcver , tbe sold-out bulls anil professional
bulls failed to create more than n temporary
I diversion , owing to the stubborn attitude of
the holders and owners of slocks. Tlic market

1 soon lapsed Into dullness and some slight re
coveries were noted , due to supporting orders
nnd covering by shorts. Around 1 o'clock nn
ntlnck on Tennessee Coal forced Hint specialty
down 1 % per cent nnd exerted n sympathetic
depressing Influence on other stocks , but the
market ns a whole lacked feature nnd rplrlt
and business wns meager. In the Into dealings
Metropolitan Traction jumped B per cent to
114 , but later reacted to 112(4. ( The general Hut
also exhibited strength , particularly Manhattan
nnd Sugar , which Improved IH and Hi per cent
respectively from tbe early low level. American
Spirits preferred , Tennessee Coal jind l.on and
Chicago Gns were In good demand at advancing
Htiures. Pacific Mull failed to reflect the divi
dend declaration , the distribution of 1 per cent ;
the llrst In mnny years , having evidently been
discounted. Tbe closing wns strong ut unim

Railway bonds were dull nnd a shade lower

on purchurcs of JCO.OOO.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says : All Hie Flock markets were life
less and dcprerFCd today. Mines were Hat. The
special Fcttlement In mining shares mentioned
yesterday will be finished tomorrow. Two Job
bers bad to cloFC their accounts today , but
the matter has been arranged now so that prob
ably no failure will be announced tomorrow.
The oilier dcpicsslng factor Is the dearer money
market. The market discount rate la 34 per
cent and thcro Is talk of a 'rise In the bank
rate tomorrow , but no change Is really probable ,
Tbe reason for tbe rise In money Is that London
reems more likely to lose gold yet to mnn >
quarters , with no sign of nny Inllux. The In
dian council sold only 10 lakhs of drafts today.
The Indian government Is raid to be wanting
money nnd will very likely IKSUC a sterling
loan before long. The Paris bourse wns dull ,
but closed better on tbe rise In Spanish stocks.

most of tlio news In Its favor , the most con
spicuous factor being n resumption of export

Locally about 250,000 bu. were reported to have
been told for shipment , Including some $0,000
bu. for Australia , Cash demand at the weft
was also Rood nnd reports Kenerally Indicated

Vor HccordliiK Hie Letter Carrier * *
HourM of Duty.
To bear a gong lu close proximity to one's
dcel : strike 3,000 times In a day of eight
hours might be sufficient to drive some people
ple crazy. However , Superintendent Mark
Field of the Boston city delivery ( In the big
postofllco building ) so far seems to preserve
the tue of all his faculties marvelously well.
Tbe ringing of the gong Is occasioned by
the new clock arrangement Just put In by
the government , says the IJwtou Advertiser.
Uncle Sam now has no less than three differ
ent checks upon the letter carriers connected
with the HfMton office , and It , therefore ,
scorns impossible that ono of them should
bo nblo to defraud by charging for overtime.
In the first place thcro Is a timekeeper
whoso solo duty It Is to note the tlmo when
each of thp 155 carriers arrives In the morn
ing and when each goes out on his route ,
and when each returns , on all of the various
deliveries.
The second means of determining accu
rately the exact number of hours of duty
performed la tbe trip report which each
carrier Is obliged to file at tbo end of each
day. This report reads , "Dally trip report
of the actual tlmo consumed by , car
rier No. .
"I. , letter carrier No. , at
Roston , Mass. , hereby certify that the time
herein Is correct and covers all tlmo con
sumed by mo this day In the performance
of my official duties or other postal service.
( Signed. ) : " . "
This portentous document Is preserved for
the space of six years , and as 155 of these
Imvo to bo ( lied ever } day considerable
space In the post office IR required to pre
serve so much bulky matter. Each trip
report shows the tlmo arrived , the tlmo
the carrier started out , and tbo tlmo ho
returned on each and every trip. The reason
It Is preserved six years Is because that Is
the limit of tlmo In which claims for salary
can bo ( lied before the court of claims.
The third method of keeping tally on what
the , letter carriers are doing is the clock
service just put In. On the wall , In the pas
sage near the desk of tbe city delivery su
perintendent , are two clocks , the dials ap
pearing exactly Ilka thosu of ordinary time
pieces and at a dlstanco tbo observer might
suppose that ho 'was looking upon an or
dinary eight-da wall clock about three
feet long by olglit Inches wide , but as he
comes nearer hqf finds that the lower half
of each clock cgijtnns | a peculiar arrange
ment with a keyhole.
Also on the wajl'nro two keyboards and
a set of ICG keys , piip key to each carrier.
When the caroler , arrives In the morning
ho takes the key from ono hoard , which Is
known as the "Outb'b'ard , " Inserts It In the
kcyholo of the first"clock and turns It. Ono
ward of the key contains an Impression , dle-
uiink , of the carrlu'r'a number , and as he
turns the key luiltho lock bis number Is
stamped on a tnpb , arul 'also the time , and
at the Hamo tluifn ) gong rings. Ho then
hangs the key , , ypqi ; the "Inboard" and
COPS to his desk * | r j
When ho start's. , .on his first delivery be
takes tbo key fcopi the "Inboard , " Inserts
It In the koyh6lq 'of the "out-clock" nnd
the number of 'the key and tbo I line arc
slainped on the t po within Just as they
were on the other clock. When ho returns
ho repeats this performance upon the first
clock.
It would seem pretty dlfllcult under such
conditions for any carrier to cheat tbo gov
ernment.
ToiMIIIIHCll'M IIOIU'H.
The bpnes of old Tecumseh , skeleton No.
20 , of the McKccs Hock mound , are lying
In Htato In a glass cane In tbo Carnegie
inufioiim , says the I'lttsbtirg 1'ost. Around
the neck are bono bends and ornaments ,
just as they were dug up from the earth.
When Andrew Carneglo view * the rcmainti
next Thursday at 2 o'clock thin Inscription
will toll him what ho Is looking at :
"This skeleton was found fifteen feet and
four Inches from the top , and near the
center of the mound. Krom 1U position
and the number of IU ornaments , Iniplo-
inciila and weapons found an tills skeleton ,
U Is Inferred that this Is the warrior for

CATTLE There wore plenty of cattl
here today , nsoll as at other markets , nut
as a result of tbo largo run there was som
weakness all along the line , There wcr
none too many cattle hero for tbe demand
but this market suffered from the weak
IIOSH of other markets.
Good beef steers wore not nt nil plentiful
notwithstanding the largo receipts , nnd as
there was the usual good demand , value
on such were Just about steady. The com
mon kinds of killing cattle wore not sucl
free sellers , tbo market on such belnt
slow nnd weak and In extreme cases GlHOc
lower.
The offerings of butchers' stock wore
largo , consisting of as many as forty loads
of cows and heifers. The market \\ns generally
orally easier from the causes noted above
and ns much as S'fflOo lower on the more
undesirable grades. Tbe trade was Incllnct
to be a little slow.
Stackers and feeders were In largo sup
ply. but there was also n demand of vorj
liberal proportions. A gooil many buyers
wore In from tbo country looking for cattle
and the regular yard operators were fret
buyers. As a result the most of the caltli
changed hands .In good Hcason , nt least
all that could be considered at all desirable
The excellent character of tbe dcmaiu
served to keep up values and the prices
paid for desirable kinds at least were fullj
as good as yesterday. IteprcBontatlvo sales
