CHICAGO, May I1.-A11e from the ter mination of the successful corner In May oata and the accompanying- flurry and tlher price In that pit, speculation In a-rsins today wan again under bear domi nance. For tha third successive day corn howed marked weakneea and Influenced the other araln markets. July wheat closed Ho lower, July corn tj'c down and Julv oata c down. May oata cloaed 6Se higher than Thuraday and at the top price on record Provlalona cloaed firm and 6c to 74W10o up. Wheat for eome time fairly held Ita own. The opening Influencea were of a strength ening nature and prlcea made some fair advance. Cables were firm and Argen tine shipments showed a markedly bullish decrease at 132,000 buahels, compared to l.lW.orio bushels a year ago. The prospects are that Monday'! world a ahlpmonta will be small. These Incentives started July wheat a shade to 4iC up at 721-fi721c and sold at 724072SC. The buying that resulted In thla Firmness soon gave way, however, to a dull scalping market and a gradual decline ensued. Crop prospects and weather were favorable, counteracting the bullish news and Inducing the local crowd to sell short. Advices southwest, however, told of too much rain. As corn broke there was further selling and July 'wheat broke to lla, closing easy and MiC down at 72Sc. Local receipts wera 21 cars, 1 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Du Tuth reported ill care for the two days, inaklng a total for the three points of 3!2 cars, against 132 one day last week and 418 cars two days a year ago. Primary receipts were 687,000 bushels, compared to t7.0ii0 bushels last year. Seaboard clear ncea In wheat ana flour equaled 351,000 bushels. Corn continued Its down turn today and completed a slump of 31e since the first of the week. . The opening trades were at a fair advance on 11 rm cables and small country acceptances. It waa the Increased receipts and the fear ef a continued heavy movement from the farmers toward this market that pushed prices down. Receipts were heavy at 412 cars for two days and the estimate for Monday waa especially bearish at 500 cars. There waa some short selling on crop prospects and the generally bearish sentiment, but the decline camo mainly from the absence of support. Most cf the session business was active, but of a local nature. July opened a shade lower at 2t4c to 62Vic, and sold up on a little support by the leading bull house to KHc Persistent bear argument brought a slump to 61tgic and July closed weak and V 4? down at 61Hc The termination of James A, Patten's uccessful, corner In May oats brought a picturesque close to the business of the week and the month. For aeveral months the May deal haa dominated the oat pit to the exclusion of any very active busi ness In other futures, Exceptionally clever manipulation by lr. Patten secured for Mm a line of long stuff at about 37c, amounting to between 10,000,000 and 12,000,. 000 bu. Prlcea were pushed up methodically from week to week on the corn scarcity and held at a uniformly high price until May 1, when Mr. Patten began buying the cash stuff and soiling It out at a good advantage, but at tempting figures. Local atocka were practically depleted, deliveries were taken In by the shorts who wanted to deliver, but the price hardly wavered from Its strong position. Many shorts settled personslly with the big bull without going Into the pit. Today Patten himself Bid prices up, nobody dared sell what they would have to buy from him and the result waa an advance today of to over yesterday and a tightly cornered close at the top prices on record for Mav. 4!)V4c. Profits for the leader are estimated at a ntue snort or ii.uuu.om. The trade in other oata was dull and uneventful. Crop prospects are good and with corn weakening oats sold off. July closing weak and 4c down at Xc. Receipts were liberal at 291 cara. Provisions again felt the serious aspect of the strike of the packing houae team sters at the yards. Curtailments of ship ments of live stock haa kept hog price up fairly well, but the crowd was afraid to oo mucn ousinese. The nrm hog situa tion was augmented by a--little packers' aupport and prices closed firm, July pork Sc ud at 817.10. Julv lard in hla-ha -1 810.20, July ribs 7Hfil0c higher at .72fc .7fi.

REPARTEE AND GOOD MARKERS. ample of Valvar Remarks that Pass for Wit. , . '. Among the thousands of good stories In Irculatlon Is one which should be told in cockney dialect about one 'Arry. who wa. famous for hi. repartee. No one could get the better of 'Arry. 'B wa. quick a. a flash, 'e was. For' example: One day 'Arry went to the clrcu. with 'is Arrlet. 'E wa. picked out by the clown, who shouted. "Hah, there, 'Arry, Hi gpte. ye 'oldln 'and. with 'Arrlet!" But the clown wasn't a match for 'Arry, who fired right back. "Oo to 'ell,' you blarsted fool," cries 'Arry to the clowa, 'or Hl'll .marsh your face!" "Arry wa. a terror at repartee. 'E wa. quick ' a. a flash, ' wa. No one could get tha bet ter of Mm. This story, which 1. sometime embel lished with profanity, ay. the Saa Fran- lsco Bulletin, Illustrate, the sort of repartee which too often wins a man a reputation for wit. There' are person. whose station In life ' I. higher thaa Arry'., but whose Idea of repartee 1. - of the same . tripe a. that of the cockney In the story... These person have a habit of making offensive and extremely rude remark, which pas. for witty repartee In general and Indlsorlmlnatlng company.

Bad manner In conversation should be distinguished from wit, - but ' seldom are, and the gentleman must suffer eclipse bow and then from a louder and ruder, though perhaps a duller man. True wit is bitter and sharp only when It aimed ggalnrt fraud... hypocrisy aad things really evil.

'Like Samson and . . with the same weapon," said a certain abbe at the table, the cleverness of whose remark gained nothing by it. rudeness. , But one can for give a little rudeness In genuine wit. It 1 against the sgltless rudeness, the stupid verbal bludgeoning which poses aa wit, that one protest most earnestly. Ia congress the other day one of -th member of the lower houae remarked that his constituents approved -of his conduct. Then they are easily satisfied." ihouted Mr. Oroivenor, and there wa a laugh. The remark was not-clever enough to make the Insult excusable. Quite different was Tom Reed's famous retort to the opponent who declaimed that he would rather be right than president. - "Don't fear, sir," laid Reed, for you will never be either." A harmles but genuinely witty remark wa. that made by Rev. Sidney Smith, when he had met with hi vestry to consider way. and mean of building a wooden walk about the church.
