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

The market on beef steer for the week
has been In fairly good shape, and de
sirable offering have sold -at very satis
factory prices. Tuesday waa about the
high day of the week, and ever since that
time the tendency of prloea has been down

rived the top prices did not show the
downward tendency. As compared with
the close of last week the choice cattle are
not very much lower and a , d'm would
safely cover the decline. The medium class

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. A
a rule tbl. bludgeon wit provoke, a laugh,
for the majority of people will laugh at
anything that causes discomfiture to oth
ers. Tho horseplay comedy in which the
humor consist, of .mashing plea on the
face of the dramatt. peraon.e and throw
ing the buffo into a trough -of real water
ha. never failed to amuse, and nine out
of ten person, will guffaw to ee a dig
nified gentleman fall Into a muddy puddle.
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. The wit of amicable de
bate and br (Unary conversation should not
violate the rule. of . good manner. "Like
Samson, I kill thousand at one blow," ex
claimed Voltaire, facetiously, aa be took a
bite of Limburger cheese at a dinner.
'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.
