CHICAGO. May 9. The local wheat mar
ket was weak today owing to the liln-ral
reulizlng sales, the July delivery rinsing at
a Pet lo-s of IV'. Corn was olf :'nli. Oats
were lyriNe lower. lrovlsions unchanged to
i',7e higher.
rcnt .in.tu In the wheat pit was bearish
all ciav and prices at the close were almost
at the lowest point. The failure of Kuropean
markets to respond to any great extent to
the 3c advance here yesterday was one of
the chief depressing Influences. Through
out the entire session there was free sell
ing by longs. Several times the market
rallied moderately on covering by shorts,
but each advance brought out Increased
offerings, which soon caused a fresh de
clmo. A number of reports were received
telling of damage bv Hessian flies In the
wheat fields or Kansas, but they were given
but scant consid. i at ion. inasmuch as the
injury is Kcm-r.illy bcl'cvcd to Is- confined
laru-e y to small and scatl-red Hfeas. The

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Week Closes vrith an Animated and
Buoyant Market.
UNION PACIFIC STILL IN LEAD
Metal Industrials Are ol t
spienous In the Advance Bonds
Firm and Slightly
Lower.
NEW YORK, May 9 The week closed
with an animated and buoyant slock rur
ket. In which Inter, st was manifestly broad
ening, and new iiolnts being developed in
tho upward movement. Advantage was
taken to effect distribution of speculative
holdings of some of the stocks which have
led during the weak In strength and ac
tivity. In Reading and Union Pacific th.'
volume (if the trading was on an undi
minished scsle, but the price variation
was held within narrower limits, d.-m ind
being fed judiciously. Even in stocks in
which realising was most pronounced, th
day's business was effected at prices higher
than yesterday, and In fact, at the highest
prices of the year.
No definite news accompanied the furth r
advance, but rumor continued busy. Much
of It dealt with the anthracite gioup Hnd
supposed change of control of the R-nd-Ing,
in spite of the reports of the sales
of I.ake Shore holdings of that stock. The
coming t'nlon Pacific bond 1-tsue was a sub
ject of active discussion, but with no au
thentic details as to the amount or terms
of the Issue. A sudden spurt in Chesa
peake A Ohio was unexplained, but was as
cribed by some observers to the terms of
the working agreement between the rail
roads and the government authorities for
non-enforcement of the commodities clause
of the Hepburn law. pending litigation to
test its validity. The metal industrials
were not conspiclous in the advance. Tip
price of copper was lower in London, and
rose again on circulation of a report that
the agreement on the main prices of pg
Iron had collapsed. Assertions were cur
rent of tho forcing to covt r of some large
short Interests. The bank statement of
averages showed much less than the ex
pected gain In cash holdings, but It ap
peared In the statement of actual condi
tions on Friday night, and in that of oUpt
banks. The S23.623.3oo loan expansion of the
latter Institutions indicated clcvirlv. also,
that the burden of the week's syndicate fi
nancing had been borne by them. The de
crease for the week of S2.7''." in I'nit-d
States deposits shows the nrly r. sp ui-ei
to the call for repayment of ti..) u of
these deposits, which fell due today. Tue
items of deposit arid of specie holdings In
today's clearing house statement stand
at record figures.
Bonds were firm, but reflected some
profit-taking in low grade issues which
were advanced yesterday. Total sales, par
value. S3.7Ki.inO.

The heavy cattle, which have not been in

On some days when light cattle were not
very plentiful cattle of the right weights
sold very high, even though lacking some-w-hat

quite so brisk the same kind of cattle wer"
more or less neglected.
Cows and heifers were In moderate sup

will be noted "rnm tl quotations that good

close up to steer prices.
Very few fleshy feeders were received
during the week; in fact not enough to
rtallv nnk a test of the market. Such
cattle can be safely quoted steady fo- thn

The receipts for the week, while falling

The arrivals have consisted largely of
lambs, Ihe greuter pruporliou final Colo

with only a moderate sprinkling of ew.-s.
The week opened out with the market

"There are people, old and young, who
are so dull that you can't move them at

run across some people who are naturally

might think hopelessly dull or stupid or
savage or chronically glum, have in them
some good, that can' be got at if you go at
It In the right way.

He Finds l ife it (.real
llore.
Not long ago a voting man In the Idle
rich class. an intellectually pov.rjr
stricken chap with an Income from hii
father s estate of more than SWK per year,
spoke to me about going to Spain; but h
admitted that he hadn't the faintest Ides
where It was or how I.o could get thcie.
He knew It was "on the other side"' 11c
had be. n to Europe several times, but
never got beyond the allurements of Taris.
Examination of a map didn't appear to as.
sist his meager and undeveloped intelli
gence. He said he hadn't seen a map sinct
he was at Somelxxly's private school. He
couldn't find Paris on the map! He ex
plained that In the only geography h.i had
seen Paris was in the center of a country
colored green.
This sounds incredible for n man ol
"j. raised In luxury, until one understands
that he was also brought up In utter Idle
ness. He has five automobiles, but he doesn't
understand the simplest principle of their
construction; he couldn't tell which are
electrical and which are gasoline motors!
About books he knows nothing; said he
hadn't r. nil a novel or a travel book In his
life.
"For (Tod's sake. Johnnie, what do you
do?" 1 ask. 1 In desperation.
Nothing. 1nst nothing." was his reply.
And he told the absolute truth, lis Is hot

spends Sio.ono a year In flowers.
His tailor has a standing order for three
suits of clothes a month; but he waives
the pleasure of selecting the goods or of
trving on the finished garments. 80 far as
I see. his valet gets most of the garments

PLUG HAT PARADE IN JAPAN
Tiles of the Vintage of Flftr Year
Ano Make the Mlkados Sub
ject Frond.
There Is one sight which you must not
Miss when you go to Toklo." said t ho
seasoned traveler. "That Is the rare dis
play of anthropological plug hats.
"Some people arrange to get to Japan
In cherrv blossom aeason. and others want
to get there In time to receive an Invita
tion to the emperor's garden party In
chrysanthemum time; but take the tip
of one who has batted about the world
considerably and land In Toklo cither on
New Year s day or on the emperor's birth
day. On both ou can see something
unique In the line of headgear.
"When Japan began to get civilized It
bought all the accessories of civlliiatlon
that England did not want any more
England sold Its old-fashioned. out-of-date,
narrow gauge railroad stock, an
tiquated tram cars und other second-hand
Junk, including the then current styles
of plug hat.
"The tile of those days has remained
the ruling fashion In Japan up to the
present. Japan may build Dreadnoughts,
but tho plug hut of fifty years ago still
reigns supreme. i
"Only on such ceremonious occasions as
the New Year's festivities, tho emperor
birthday or possibly the racing meets at
N'egislil. near Yokohama, does the Japa
n se gentleman bring forth from his cam
phor wood chest his plug hat. a heritage
from his forefathers., It may be warped
with twenty summers, dams or green with
the shine of antiquity, butthat matters
nothing.
"Once this superstructure to his
wrinkled frock ( oat and bagged trousers
Is added, the Japanese gentleman feels
that no dignity short of a decoration of
the Order of the Rising Sun can be added
to his person. That crowning glory of a
plug hat may settle around his ears or it
may perch upon his head like half a
peanut tihell. but no matter; it la the hat
of civilization and the badge of re
Bpectablllty. "He trota out of Ills house looking like
one of the ancient daitnios stiff with the
dignity of two swords:. All that fearfu;
day he wears this hat of ancient vintage
like a crown, and in the end he stows It
away in his damp-proof chest awaiting
(neither festal occasion or held as an as
set in his estate ufter d ath." New York
