1t8ic Provisions were 2VttJ7ViC
lower.
In addition to the liquidation of long
wheat, there was free selling by north
western Interests for short actunt. These
were Inspired to a large extent by local
selling ut Duluth and Minneapolis. Al
though the news was not particularly
bearish, the feeling in favor of lower
ilKoi saeiaad te be more pronounced.
,baii at uuy time fr several days. Tho
market became weaker as trading ad
vanced and final quotations were the low
est of the day. May opened a shade lower
at H&c at 71Vi71S- and sold off to

ances of wheat and Hour were equal to 1 Outs, bu
834,000 bu. Primary receipts were 81 s.

Wool Market.
BOSTON. Dec. 29.-WOOL The annual
canvass of the wool trade of the United
States by the Boston Commercial Bulletin
to discover the amount of wool remaining
unsold at the close of the year ahows a
stuck this year of 94.402.046 pounds of do
mestic and 15,169,000 pounds of foreign wool.
This la to be compared with a stock of
72,461.448 pounds of domestic and 24,414,000
pounds of foreign one year ago and hence
shows an Increase for this year of 21,940,tiVi3
pounds of domestic and a decrease In the
stock of foreign wool of 9,24C,Ot pounds.
Regarding the wool market the Commercial
CATTLE There were no fresh receipts
or cattle today and the total for tne week
has been very small as compared with
previous weeks, and some smaller than for
the corresponding week of last year. Light
receipts, however, were Just what every
one Interested In the selling end of the
trade wanted. It will be remembered thnt
the cattle market broke b:fdly last week
not only here, but at all selling points as
well, the receipts having been too large
for the demand. The moderate receipts
this week haa enabled demand to overtake
supply, so thrt values have gradually re
covered, until at the close of the week
they nre Just Ha high as they have been
any time within the. last two weeks. Tn
other words, the market is 25iS40c higher
than It was nt the ilow point, and besides
that, in a goori, healthy condition. This
would apply equally .well to both beef
steers and cows and heifers. If the coun
try will now exercise a little moderation
nnd not ship in too many half fat or
warmed up steers, there Is every reason
for believing that the market will continue
in fair shape. Too many poor cattle
though, are almost certain to weaken
values even on the good kinds.
Oood, fleshy feeders, having both weight
and quality, have sold very well all the
week, being In good demand at steady
prices. On the other hand, light stockers
and Inferior grades of all kinds have been
slow sale.

THEY COULDN'T SCARE RIDDER
Upright Inlonlst Stood Pat for a
Square Deal and Won
Out.
Two years ago I knew a quiet, wiry,
honest looking man, who I will call Frank
Rldder. At 28 Ftank hnd come from the
far west to Chicago, with his wife and
baby, and had taken the only Job he could
find driving a wagon. By cutting sleep
down to five hours he kept up his old law
studies, "because later on It might come
handy." In two years his employer put
him In charge of all the five wagons at $26
a week. He studied the business. Some
called him a comer.
But the teamsters had begun to organise.
In some thirty branch unions. Frank
thought It over and decided that the union
Would be a good thing for '-the boys" If
honest. He began to watch. He soon sus
pected the leader of his particular union
and began slowly to "uplift" him: and
this he kept on. In spite of wholesale
threats nnd bricks In flats, until at last
the Ignorant but fatr-rlay-lovlng mass of
teamsters gathered behind him and shoved.
And before Rldder knew It he was the
local leader himself.
A year later, as his power grew, a cer
tain Chlcrtgo employer told him how foolish
he was to waste his time as a leader at
$30 a week when he might be miking a
future that would give to his wife and
babies tho things that all of us like. He
ended by offering a position at $36 a week
and promised an early raise. Ridder re
fused the offer.
He refused nil high offices In the national
organisation, krpt his old humble position
and raised wages In his small union, with
out a strike, from $11 to $18 a week. And
meanwhile, day and night, In big moetlims,
In small committees, In hard talks with
men nlone, he helped slowly to open the
eyes of the teamsters, until two years ago,
with an overwhelming majority behind
them, his group went to the national con
vention, ousted three-fourths of the ring
and put in their own men. .He himself
took no office.
But "reform waves'' are as common In
unions as In politics. The old teamster
ring made a last desperate effort. Helped
(as hat been proved since) by some $5.0n0
from a huge Chicago concern, which wntei
a strike to be called on the house of Its
rival, the ring rose and scattered money
far and wide, nnd shouted speeches about
'he rights of worklngmen and began the
Treat strike of 1905, which threw Chicago
nto chaos.
Rldder spoke against the strike nnd told
the truth about It and faced the storm.
One day on a crowded street he waa met
by one of the ring, who had offered him
money before. This time the man only
smiled.
'Frank," he said, "I guess you know me
pretty well. This Is a big game, ain't It?
It would be a pity to let one man's life
stand In the way."
'That's all right. John." said Ridder.
comfortingly. "You know I spent Ave
years down In Arlxona. And" he put his
hand In his pocket "one man's life don't
need pity."
When the long, useless, shameful strike
was over, the only teamsters allowed to
retain their union buttons were the mem
bers of Rldder't little union, which he had
kept out of the strike. Then, little by
little, the man who 'had been cursed all
over Chicago at "the employers' spy who
told out hit friends" was again restored to
power. Very slowly, for the ring was
strong and rich, and the masses were sus
picious. In the end Rldder't new honest
crowd resolved to secede from the old
body. Their new organisation 'began and
grew; In the last six month It has doubled;
and row It Includes nearly half the Chi
cago teamsters. Ernest lo!e In Tht Outlook.
MEN CURED BY ACCIDENTS
Personal Injuries at Times Result la
St ranee and Unexpected
neneflt.
Some months ago a Denver workman WM
the victim of an accident which utterly de
stroyed the hearing of one of his ear. AU
though lie consulted numerous specialists,
he was unable to receive nny benefit what
ever and st last all hope was given up.
The other day, while painting a house,
he happened to stand on the top rung of
the ladder with a bucket of paint In hln
hand. It chanced that he lost his balano
and fell. The ladder toppled over on him,
while the paint bucket siruck him on the
head. When he regained consciousness)
It was found that his hearing had been
fully restored by the blow.
A private soldier wss struck by lightning
at Charleston a short time ago. Thl ren
dered him totally blind, but three day
later he was struck again. Afterward It
was discovered that he had fully regained
his sight.
In Australia, however, they claim to hare
a more curious case. An English box lost
his speech as a result of a fall. Borne time
afterward he fell off a ladder and recov
ered his speech. .
A laborer's life was saved at a Welsh
Infirmary by cutting his throat. The pa
tlent stopped breathing and when artificial
respiration failed a hole waa eut In hi
throat In o.-der to Induce the heart'
action.
A man who was formerly a variety por
former had been paralyxed for four year
In both legs. When he was going along
the Dials, London, on crutches to his lodg
ings he discovered that a shop was on Are.
He gave the alarm and became to exolted
that he dropped hit crutches, rushed up
stairs and saved the life of an Infant.
He went home carrying the crutches on
his arm and hopes that he will be able
to commence work again.
A Glasgow man drank a deadly dose of
laudanum; the police officers cured him
by giving him a guod thrashing. Ills Ufa
was saved by his being kopt awake until
the effect of the poison had passed away.
The police officers who were present kept
on beating him with a piece of hose pip
and with wet towels until he recovered.
A well known player for the Halifax
foot ball club lost tho use of hit arm
owing to an accident at a game. Borne
little time ago when he waa playing he re
ceived very hard treatment with the re
sult that when the match was over he had
recovered the use of his arm.
Th half back player for another team
was playing somo years aro and received
an Injury to his leg which caused his re
tirement from the game. For several
months hq wat unable to walk without
crutches.
One day ho had what appeared to be the
misfortune to fall down a full flight of
steps. It was. however, a fortunate fall,
for on getting up he found that ho had re
pained the use of his Injured leg and from
that day to this he has walked at straight
as though he had never had anything; the
matter with him. Chicago Chronicle.
