( . 'HICAOO. Fob. 2. Scnlplntj operations
fjlislltuled moat of Hio trading In nil the
Brain markets today. Wheat was strong
early on a rally at Liverpool , but turned
weak Inter under the le.idpr.ihlp of the New
York market and closed EC lower. Corn
showed 1-lGo decline. Oats closed un
changed. Provisions were very strong nnd
advanced 10fl27'/4c ' , with a Rood trade.
Traders In wheat were somewhat puzzled
nt the start by the action of Uvcrpool. Tliat
market , In spite of yesterday's ndvnnce
here , opened slightly lawer , nnd a weak feelIng -
Ing on the curb was noticeable In cense
quence. Later cables corhlnir In before the
opening here- showed the decline recovered
and some ndvanco besides. Humors were
lso current of n sale of n big block of
Loiter wheat , and seaboard mqssages told
of. pwotl cable acceptances of wheat offered
to the otiiur side. The feeling was rather
divided nt the opening- . May started tit
from ! > 5 e to We , the lower of Iho llgures
being ' /io ( under yesterday's closing price ,
and with quite a few offerings nt Hint llgure ,
though of miiali lota , but there were vastly
more buycni than sellers , and n few minutes
after the opening WAo was offered for May.
That price drou U offerings In abundance ,
and the price fell llrm to iltic ; then , after an
other short rally to or > V ; that price rub'd
firmly. Not only was there re.tllzlng at the
'top. hut shorts soiling as well. The publi
cation of Thomun'a crop report giving 0 .2
as the present -ivf-rase condition of the crop ,
Indicating a crop of 15 btmhulH to the acre ,
or a total of 4i > . < 'i.O ( > bu. , tnough quite gen
t-rally rldlcul-d at llrst , 'hud ' considerable
effort nn the morning wore on. Outsldu of
this news was not particularly Important or
of much Inllncnce either way. Northwest
receipts were rather llsr'it. Minneapolis and
Dulutli ri-portliif ? 2C4 cars , ugihiMt 257 last
woi > k and 224 a year ago. CYilcago receipts
amounted to 41 cars , of which 2 were of cun-
S - , true * grade , 1'rlinary market receipts were
* 378.001) bu. , against SOfi.OCO bu. a year ago.
The market crew quite weak duringt'ne '
afternoon , 1'rlccs had In the meantime
rubied on the receipt of Htrong closing con-
tlni ntal cables , May geltlnc , up to P > ! c ugnln ;
but advlcoa from New York Hiiowvd a break
In the February price on tno small de
liveries on l-'ebiuary contracts , nnd tcports
or fri"-i ofOrlng * of Pennsylvania , Maryland
and Ohio wheat to arrive t1n > ro. This started
selling ag.iln In this market and gradually
cat-lied the May price down to M'/ie. 'Hie
closing w.is at WMiHWic.
Corn W.IH slow und barely steady. The
nmrkit was Urm nt llrst , with wheat and on
. - _ „ _ . , Hnmll ivculpts , nnd wns sustained for nwhllo
" I w1 iV.by . a little buying by siorts and nintlnst
" \Vt , _ * * "putH. " Thi' late weakness of wheat caused
fiontH s llliu by professionals and prices
dropped off , the market ruling easy nt the
cl11' . May ranged front 2.SVi(2flc to i-S T ?
lM4e , and closed a shadu lower at 2S % ®
Thi > market for oats was very dull , the
ll'tlo trading- done being almost entirely of
a. Kcnlplng tin lure. Knrly llrmnesa was In-
ducid by wheat , and when that market de-
cllneil oats followed. Prices kept within a
ji'tiTow ' range. May rnngod from 2IMiC to
2ivsc : , nnd closed unchanged at 21c.
Provisions was the s'rongest market on
the floor and a fairly uctlvu trade was
d me , HcportH of storks on hand during
January showed a much smaller Increase
than expected , and tills caused quite gen-
cnil coverliiiv by shorts. I'nek < TS were good
Imyer.i nnd prices advanced from the start ,
the market ruling Ilrm to tie end. May
pork closed 27MiC higher at $10.07' , May lard
37'jo ' higher at $ l.i)2j ) ! ; and May ribs 13c
lilghc-r at S-'i.OO.

NBW YOUK , Feb. 2. The stock mnrlcct was
under liquidating pressure today , but the
strength of some special stocks anil manipu
lated advances of others made the market ex
ceedingly uneven. There were numerous halts
In the liquidation Muring the day and partly
successful attempts to nchlevc rallies , so that
the day was one of constant changes , some
stocks mounting upward strongly while -the
market WHS tending downward. There was
every evidence of continued heavy celling to
taku profits In some of he most prominent fa
vorites In the recent speculation , notably Nortli-
em 1'aelllc , Union Paolflc anil the Vandcrbllts.
Quito a large element of the professional traiT-
eis fold the market with a good deal of conll-
denco and vigor. Nevertheless , offerings were
very well absorbed and most of the net loseos
of the day are confined to fraction * . The early
transactions whowed positive strength under a
combination of Influence * * , among these a. con
siderable buying- for London , and especially or
Ontculo & Western. There was quite a lance
volume of buying orders I. from commission ,
houses also during- the day. The new necun-
tlea of the Union Pacific 'company In the un
listed department of I the exchange advanced
with something of a rush over the opening
prices and Imparted strength to the whole mar
ket. inJtlmore & Ohio advanced "l'4j per cent
over yesterday's high point. With the execution
of accumulated buying orders the bearish tend
ency of trailers grew and obtained'the ' apcend-
aney. There were various reasons given to au-
count for the decline. Among them was the
cutting of rates' ' between Minneapolis and Chicago
cage and the apparent hopelessness of HRree-
tnent as to rates on the expected Klondike busi
ness. The grangers showed themselves ' espe
cially sensitive nnd were hurt also by a ffraw-
Ing apprehension over the outcome of the Ne
braska maximum i freight rule case , which lt
awaiting decision by the supreme court. Great
Northern preferred added e more points to Its
advance of yesterday and Its subsidiary com
pany. ( .Manitoba , Minnesota Iron nd u number
of other Inactive stocks showed marked a -
vanceu. Tbo Heading Flocks were stronger on
rumorii ot the nslo tn London of about $0OCOCOT
of the company's bonds. Norfolk & Western
preferred gained sharply on the dividend ilecli .
iiitlon. Notwlthf'indlng thee exceptional elf
mnnts of strength the general tendency of the
market was toward-weakness. Humors of losses
sustained by a local bunk through Injudicious
launx encouraged the reactionists. The rates for
exchange hardened a shade on Investment De
mand Induced l > y the low rates for money
which continued to vcrk to an easier basic ,
The day's exchanges at the local clearing house
wort to the enormous total of 1204,221,923 , re
flecting porno very heavy financial operations.
The details of these could not be ascertained

CATTLE The receipts of cattle were
larger than yesterday by a tow loads and
about the sama as a week airo. While there
were quite a. jrooil many killing eattlo on
sale there was also a larpe sprinkling of
stock cattle , so that the offerliiBS were not
excessive of any ortc kind.
Among the fat Kittle there iwero some
pretty decent lots on sale and the market
os a whole was In reasonably good shape.
The dressed beeE men seemed In need of
supplies and they got down to business In
good season. Values did not show any
material chango. the prices paid being about
the same as were paid for similar cattle
yesterday. While the trade could hardly
bo called active , the cattle kept moving
stoadlly toward the scales and the great
bulk changed hands In good season. One
bunch of big heavy , but very fat , western
cattle sold up to $4.50.
Cows and heifers were In liberal supply
and sold at just about steady prices. The
demand was reasonably good and the trade-
mas fairly active , so that the moat of the
cattle wore sold and weighed up In good
Boason.
The fresh receipts of stockerg and feeders
iwero larger than usual of late , the high
prices at which sucht cattle have been sell
ing having apparently acted as a stimulus
to shipments. At the same time speculators
were loaded with the same kind of cattle ,
while the demand seemed to comp to a
standstill nil of a sudden. It looked today
as Ifl the country had ) suddenly como to Its
senses and concluded to stop buying stock
cattle at fancy" prices while beef cattle are
selling at prices that In many cases are
causing Coders heavy losses. Even good
light stock cattle which the country has
been buying nt such crazy prices were
neglected. The result was a slow market ,
with values anywhere from lOc to loc lower
than last week. Representative sales :

( With Illustrations. )
In this etory Mr. Haggard niakcn
a BOW deinon , 'tratlon of Ills won
derful power In the fleld of pure
romanca. Ho once moro boldly
lifts the curtain that hides the fate
of nations dead and burled In the
ages of which no record remains ,
except In the silent ruins of their
cities.
ZluVboe , an Inland1 trading city
that flourished In the heart of
Africa 3,000 years ago , and peopled
by the Phoenicians , Is the eceno of
the story. To this city comes
PKoco Azlcl , a grandson of King
Solomon , accompanied by Isaachar ,
a prleot of Israel , coid Motem , a
Phoenician trader , who brings a
caravan of merchandise.
In Ellssa , daughter of Sakon , kins
of Zlmboo , the prlnco nieela his
fato. King Ithobal , lord of many
legions of savage warriors , la al
ready a suitor for her htod. Ho
euea IB true barbarian fashlca ,
seeks to carry her off by force , and
IB foiled In the attempt by Prince
Azlcl. The ntory unfolds Itself
around the feud between the Prlnco
of Israel an * the savage King Itho
bal. Ellssa IMS given her heart
to Azlcl , and loatlta the barbarian
monarch. Isaachar , the priest , la
determined that no prince of the
house of David shall wed a he-ithcn
maiden , whoso people worship Dial.
Aa a rcr.ult of his Intrigues , Ellssa
la elected the high priestess of
Baal.
This fixes an Impassable rcllgloua
gulf between her and Azlel. Tholr
passionate love seeka to surmount
all barriers. Meantime , Itholnl
draws his huge army or savages
arouctl the fated city , and demand
ing EllEfli In mari'lage , prepares
to destroy It If ho Is rofused. How
Ellssa violated her oath as high
priestess and prepares to fly with
Azlel ; how they ara both discovered
and threatened' with death by the
prlesta ot Haul ; how , to save cuuii
other , cue , by her right aa tlio high
lirlestcaa of Haal , names him her
husband , while ho runounccH his
faith and offers incense to Daal ;
how Ithobal's horde of garages
storms the walls of the city , end
both Azlcl and. Eileen fall Into lib
power ; and how , at last , Azicl es
capes with his llfo by Ellcna'a
feigned submission to Ithobal , elio
In turn escapingIthobal by killing
herself , Is all told In .Mr. Haggard's
most faoslnatlng mar.nor.
The awful ceremonies to the tem
s ple of Unal , the weird rite * In the
sacred grovca of Zlmboe , and the
barbarous battle scutes of that far-
off lime , are described with all the
author's marvelous wealth of Imag.
Inatlvo resource.
It Ifl a story that will surely rank
as one of the great worko of fiction
of 1S98.
