CHICAGO , Sept. 23. Wheat today abaied
a good deal of Its recent bullishness and
closed nt a decline of about &c In Decem
ber. Talk of Increased receipts In the north
west and southwest anil estimates of a
lioavy world's crop promoted active selling
on the part of recent buyers and kept the
market weak most of the wsslon. Corn nnd
oatt , were sympathetically weak , corn clew
ing Uo lower and oats % c lower. Provl-
Blons were Independently strong nnd closed
7140'lOe higher.
Weakness was shown by wheat right
from the start. Prices at Liverpool were a
disappointment to traders , that market re-
njiondlnc feebly to yesterday's sharp advance
here. Northwest inalkcta opened at lower
prices. Open'ng tluJcs In December were
ot Cl@G4'ic , compared with yesterday's
closing prlco of G4'/4Glc. There was a
Kood deal of realizing at the start by weak-
kneed holders , which made the market
rather wobbly for a time. An undertone of
strength soon developed , however , when
later advices showed nn Improvement In
prices , both in the northwest markets and
nt Liverpool. When the northwest again bo-
Kan to decline , which It soon did , the prlco
Blld off again and to lower figures than he-
lore , December declining from 610G4'/4c
to 63c. The decline was gradual for some
tline , as buyers were present In sufficient
iiumUrs to take care of the offerings. Re-
jiortb of freer country offerings , which came
from all over the west , \\cro responsible for
a good deal of selling. Bullish news was
not lacking Drv weather vat > reported ' .u
Argentina , with wheat throitcned by locusts.
Drouth was said to prevail In parts of Rus-
u I R , preventing seeding operations. .Minne
apolis nnd Duluth receipts amounted to 955
cars , compared with 1,099 last week and
3,000 cars a year ago. Chicago receipts
\voro 219 cars. The break of the day came
when Uccrbohm'8 estimate on the world's
wheat crop was received from Liverpool.
U put the total at 2,640,000,000 bushels ,
which was very much higher nnd 500.000
bushels over last year's estimate. This
brought nil classes of holders on the mar
ket and buyers were flooded with offerings.
December touched 63 c before the bottom
was reached nnd though covering by shorts
beoamo fairly heavy at that prlco the mar
ket recovered very little. Late In the ses-
tilon cables showing strong continental
markets stopped the liquidation in a de
gree and from then to the close the market
was steadier. Paris showed an advance ot
SO centimes and Amsterdam and Berlin also
allowed good advances. Seaboard claimed
forty loads for export. December advanced
Irregularly to 63c nnd closed at that price
bid. x
Corn was Blow all day. There was a fair
amount ot buying of December against cash
sales , but not sufficient to sustain the mar
ket , prices ruling slightly lower all duy.
Sympathy with wheat was the principal fac
tor. Receipts were liberal , 854 cars. Ex
port sales wore reported at GO loads. Coun
try offerings to arrive were light. Decem
ber ranged from 299429c to 29c and
closed % © ' /4c lower at 29c.
Oats wcro dull nnd weak. Attempts to
take profits and a poor demand caused n
material decline In prices. Weakness ol
wheat was responsible for a good deal ol
Rolling. There was a good cash Inquiry and
clearances were large. Receipts were 401
cars. May ranged from Z3c to 22c nnd
closed % c lower at 2222c.
Provisions showed Independence of grain
markets and though the market waa Inact
ive with the exception of a short time before
the close , prices were well sustained. Yel
low fever talk apparently had no effect.
l > aokcrswore good buyers of ribs. Trading
was mainly local. December pork closec
7V4o higher at $8.27 % ; December lard , IOc
higher at $1.85 and January ribs , 7'-ic higher
at $4.77 % .
Estimated receipts Saturday : Wheat , 220
cars ; corn , 800' ' cars ; oats , 380 cars ; hogs ,
15,000 head.

Market Actn In n SltiKKliU anil Hcn-
ItntlnK Manner ,
NEW YORK , Sept. 23. There was only
n ripple hero and there on the surface of
today's stock market. There were wide
gaps In the list of usually active stocks
nnd the prominent securities , which wcte
moved nt all did so In n sluggish nnd hes
itating manner and. on u small amount of
trading. The bears seemed to have the
upper hand nt the opening and clipped the
prlco of St. Paul a point in addition to the
Wt per cent dividend which was taken oiT
today. General Electric IIMV stock , Sugar ,
Metropolitan Railway and People's Uns
all showed declines ranging from a sharp
fraction up to nearly IVa. Sugar showed
resistance and drifted back to the neigh
borhood of last night's closing price. With
that the market fell Into n torpor , the
boar * being discouraged from further op
erations In face of the hardness of prices
and the easier tendency of the money mar
ket , and the bulls being disinclined to re
new the campaign until conditions In the
money market become moro settled , borne
reliance baa been placed on the drawing
Interest In Americans , which was manifest
on the London exchange ns a help to the
next bull campaign. But New ork s de
mand upon London for gold and the con
sequent stiffening of the money rate there ,
which went to 2 per cent today for call
loans nnd 2 3-S&2-vi per cent for private
discount , has brought speculation In Lon
don to u standstill. Americans have fallen
Hat there along with the other markets.
There were movements In Individual stocks
today , but the market as n. whole presented
a waiting attitude. Tobacco was weak and
sold us low as 147 3-S. The mercurial New
York Air Brake dipped 10 points and re
covered 7 without any perceptible intluence
on the general market. Terminal , bvans-
vlllo & Terre. Haute Central. Southern Pa
cific nnd a few other comparatively obscure -
scuro stocks showed noteworthy advances.
People's Gas was up on the announced set
tlement of the controversy with the In
diana Natural Gas company. There was
good buying on a small scale of the grang
ers and the Pnclllcs on the statement of
earnings. Net changes In the majority of
cases are small and fall to retlect any gen
eral condition of business.
' financial cablegram
The Evening Post's London
blegram says : The stock markets hero
opened Hat today on the developments in
China. Argentines were especially weaken
Times editorial
on a pessimistic London
concerning the boundary question. AVhen
the information given In these dispatches
yesterday concerning Buenos Ayrcs buying
became known , however , a sharp rise fol
lowed , the foreign buying being backed b >
Rothschild purchases and Chill securities
closing at the best. I am told that private
telegrams state that a document providing
boundary by arbitration
for a settlement of the
tration has been signed. Americans opened
rather dull on realizations by English bulls
in such specialties us Erie. New York , On
tario & Western and Missouri Pacific.
Louisville & Nashville was offered on an
exaggerated report of the weak condition
of the cotton market. Subssquetitly New
York bought Union Pacific. Louisville. &
Nashville and Central Pacific and the mar
ket closed steady. There was a decline in
the number of American bills ottered for
future delivery. 1 am told that orders for
the. withdrawal of eagles from the Bank
of England tomornw morning have been
countermanded , but I cannot confirm this.
The financial position in Berlin requires
careful watching. The numbev of German
accommodation bills In London has in
creased enormously of late and It will bo
surprising If this is not a money squeeze

The bond market was extremely dull ,
with the exception of San Antonio and
Aransas Pass 4s , which went up 2 points
on large transactions. Prlco changes were

KXEHCISI3 AND THE HATH.
A Theory as to the U e of the Tab by
Yoiin anil Old.
"Thousands of persons , " said a doctor tea
a Now York Sun reporter , "do not pay
proper attention to the rules that should
govern the bath. Many persons bathe too
much , others too little.
"Tho most Important rule , and the one
most often violated , Is that of rubbing
down after Indulging in exercise. Every
day thousands go cycling or take other ex
ercise , utter which they neglect to remove
their underclothes and take a vigorous rub
down with a coarse towel and a little wood
alcohol.
"More than 1 ; ilr the pleasure in exercise
lies In the feeling of new llfo obtained from
this dry bath , for when you replace your
damp underwear with that which ID dry
you feel like a new person , KO Invigorated
and refreshed have- you become. Catching
cold , or rather catching heat , often comes
from the neglect to properly care for your
self after exercise.
"According to at least ono authority ,
from the. ngts of 10 to 16 years children
should not bathe more than twice a week ,
although , of course , a sponge bath should
bo taken , every day. Once a week is sulll-
cient for cleanliness ; less than that Is not.
The temperature of the water should be 90
degrees , Fahrenheit. The best time for the
bath is just before going to bed , although
this is not obligatory.
"If taken at any other time It should be
followed by a cold shower. From 16 to 22
years the baths 'for ' cleanliness are the
same. A tub bath , with the water between
60 and 70 degrees. Fahrenheit , may be taken
every day in rising from bed , nnd If the
person bo In very robust health and ho or
she likes the bath , It may bo taken dally.
In place of It a shower bath for two or
three minutes with the water at 60 degrees ,
Fahrenheit , may be substituted. When this
Is the practice the tub bath , at 90 degrees ,
Fahrenheit , should never be taken moro
than once In seven days , and then at bed-
tlmo , followed by a cool shower. These
rules-apply to all adults In good health un
til the lirst effects of ago become apparent.
"A bath should never be taken within
two hours after a hearty meal. The first
effects of Immersion In warm or In cold
water is to seriously derange the digestive
process If this Is progressing at the time ,
nnd , by n. physiological effect that natur
ally follows , to unbalance or derange the
whole nervous system. The result to that
It is extremely dangerous to the bather.
There are numerous Instances of severe
illness , nnd oven of death , caused by bath
ing while the' ' stomach was full. "

several days with comparisons :
CATTLE There were eo few cattle here
that it seemed almost like a Saturday's
markat nnd ii'ost everything was sold IMT | >
and the yards deserted except by visitors ,
who were far more numerous than the re
ceipts of stock. The market as a whole was
In very satisfactory condition and entirely
satisfactory to the selling Interests.
There were between twenty and twenty-
Ove cars of corn-fed steers in the yards this
morning , and that constituted about every
thing lu the way of boef. The demand on
tuo part of local packers was very good ,
and the tit.de opened early and active. It
could bo summed up as a good strong and
active market. The market this week has
been gradually firming up and there has
been n gain of at least IOc for the five days ,
some would say more. Cattle sold today IOc
higher than a cut-off of the same cattle
brought two days ago. There was no west
ern grass bee ! hero to amount to anything ,
but what than * way brought strong prices.
The supply of cows and heifers was so
small that there was not enough to make a
real test of the market , but what there waa
brought firm prices , llulla nnd calves were
not materially changed In regard to value.
As the week draws to a close the feeder
trade naturally slackens up , as speculators
do not like to load up with cattle that will
have to bo carried over Sunday unless they
con get a sufficient concession in the price
to make it some object. For that reason
holders in some cases were complaining that
their holdings did not move off quite as
briskly as yesterday , and that buyers were
inclined to shade prices. Still the fresh of
ferings were light , and that was in sellers'
f.tvor. Representative sales :

HOGS A glance at tbe figures In the table
of receipts will show that the arrivals today
wore very small. In fact they were the small
est of the month for a Friday. At the name
time tbe demand was of the usual liberal
proportions , so that there was a decided
shortage In the supply. The supply of hogs
nas been small all this week , the falling off
( is compared with the five days of last week
being 8,681. and buyers have been kept hun
gry , so that they have been ready and willIng -
Ing to pay strong prices as compared with
other markets.
The trade this morning did not open quite
as early as on some days , owing to the fact
that sellers bad pretty high Ideas of what
the market should be and were nuking stilt
prices. At first buyers bid no more tbuu
steady prices , and in pome cases lower prlcCa
than yesterday , but when the market really
oj ncd It wan at prices that were a shade
to DC higher. The hogs sold at $3.7503.85 ,
as against J3.70S3.SO yesterday , with the
long string at J3.75O3.SO today and J3.72K
( J3.75 yesterday. It will be noted from tbe
Mbla clove that the average cf nil the snlcs
wan 4c nbovi * vosterdny's m.irliof
Tod-y s advance cnrrlcy t.e mnrkpt to the
lilsh point of the week so far nnd the lings
todny sold IOc higher tlmn one week ago.
With the exception of Tuer.dny and Wednes
day nt last week the hogs today Bold nt
the high point of the mouth. Representa
tive
est since Saturday of last week nnd there
as not cuotiKli ot tiny one kind to tnaUe u
test of the innrkct. It would be wfo.
however , to call the market fully steady nnd
the few fat sheep to be had met with rcniiy
sale. The kind of fat sheen that have
been coming this week have been none too
good , but In pplto of that fact values nt
this point have remained Just nbout sta
tionary , while at Chicago the market has
been gradually gMng lower. The rause
for the strength at this point Is to be found
In the very active demand on the part of
local packers , who have been free buyers
every day.
Feeding sheep have been In active de
mand nil the week nnd arrivals have met
with rendy sale at prices entirely satisfac
tory to the owners.
