Prlccs on Uoard of Trade.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3. According to an ex
pert estimate here today the total wheat
crop In the United rttatea is 19,oon,oou
bushels larger than tne government In
dicated In tho August report. Influenced
by the new figures the market closed with a
w eak tone at a net decline of VH to So.
The end of trading left corn at last night s
level to ''t?1iC below, oils uucjiangeu to
4ya down, and provisions al tne same
prices aa twenty-four hours previous or
varying to 16a gain.
Larger speculation In wheal attempted to
stampede sliorla because of the holiday
Monday, but the movable short Interest had
apparently covered rather freely yesterday
and waa more disposed to si ll today Fea
tures of weakness, aside from the l)earin
forecast as to the government report, were
the prospects of large receipts northwest
next week, heavy world shipments threat
ening, and the fact that purchases In Okla
homa and Texas the Inst two days were
said to be the most extensive this season.
Barring a Mule show of strength which
appeared at the sturt and was due to light
deliveries, the market ruled hoavy all day
and closed easy at nearly the bottom
figures reached. December, ranged from
ll.044 to (1.037 and finished Vfto to Ho
off at tL03, to 31.03i&1.03)k.
Corn traders were looking forward to a
liberal run of arriving carloads next week.
December kept between oic and 67c and
closed unchanged to a shade lower at 67 Vac
to 6740. The cash market was weak. No.
I yellow closed at bic. '
The oats market was Inclined to be easy
with other grain. December fluctuated
from 36c to 3tSc, and closed a shade to
V'tCo down at 3t-iO to ttbc.
Pork wound up unchanged to 15u dearer,
lard at 7Vic to lau advance and ribs un

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-(Spec.l!il Tele
gram.) There was no session of tlie Block
exchange today an.l there will be none
on Monday and from the operations dur
ing the present week, ending yesterdsy. It
Is difficult to predict what tne market will
snow w he,n It opens nn Tuesday, after the
holiday. 1 his week the nmrket was one
of continual dullness and heaviness, with
occasional rallies or drops which were not
sufficiently large to be of Indicative im
portance. The trend of developments this week
likewise were of UUIe Importance. It was
predicted before Colonel Theodore Roose
velt started on his western tour that some
of his utterances might be utilized by tne
bear crowd, but whether Colonel Roose
velt's speeches have annoyed Wall street,
or whether they were not of tne sensa
tional caliber expected, it Is evident that
they have played 110 part In the week's
market.
New York hanks lost nearly $11,000,000 to
all quarters during the present week. New
York banks slilpiH.-d' 253.oi0 more curiency
than was receive! from the Interior, while
the banks lost 3.S.U6S.OO0 to the I'nited Stale
sub-treasury. To this logs must be added
32,1)00,000 gold shipped to Canada.
This has been a dull week as to develop
ments in the stock market. Little has
transpired In tlie Industrial field or the
railroad field worthy of mention.

However, plans for new work are being

due September 1, amounting to $1,260,000 and
representing a half year's Interest on $.p0,
Ouo.iHX), was provided for out of the Western
Pacific's own treasury or on Its own credit.
Tne Deinver A Rio Grande, It was ex
pected, would have to provide this money,
but aside from the funds already advanced
to the Western Paclflo prior to June 30
last, the Denver has not been called upon
to furnish a dollar from Its own cash,
which aggregates over $4,000,000.
Metal Market Dull.
A In the railroad field, there Is little but
dullness in the Industrial and copper metal
fields. It was announced today that the
foreign copper supply has decreased 3,916,1'uo
pound in Auguul. Curiously enough, the
American atocks during the last six months
have shown Increases, and now that It
appears that the stocks here are on the
point of declining, there are Indications that
10' the tide has cnanea soman a.iu mm mo
li' r.in!2"..'.,th
The report of the Republic Iron and Steel
company for the year ended June 30 is the
strongest and most complete document the
company has Issued. The net profits equal
between 11 and 12 per. cent on the pre
ferred tock, which Is 5 per cent better
than the preceding year. The Pittsburg
and Alabama Industrial fields show good
prospects for the balance of the year.
The greatest Interest in the bond market
Is directed toward speculation over the
amount of l8,5ti0,oo0 first mortgage 4 per
cent bonds of the Chicago Great Western
railway. These bonds are now in the way
of distribution to members of the under
writing syndicate formed by J. P. Morgan
& Co. There has been as yet no intimation
of the amount of this Issue which hs actu
ally been sold to the public, but It is gen
erally understood to be small. Moreover,
Investors who purchased the bonds at the
time of the original offering have had the
unpleasant experience of witnessing nearly
a 10-polnt decline from the offering price.
80 fur as the Great Western bonds them
selves are concerned, their present weak
market position appears to be due entirely
to technical conditions.
It was said today that Wall street men
are watching with keen anxiety the weather
conditions In the middle west. The weather
today, tomorrow and Monday Is supposed
to play an Important part in the regula
tion of quotations on Tuesday.
So far reports from the corn belt have
been of the best kind. With a continuation
of this satisfactory atmospheric condition
and with as few developments in the gen
eral field of finance and actualities as we
lutva had. there should be no concern over
next week's market opening. -

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this mornlna
were light as usual on a Saturday, there
not being enough on the market to really
establish prices. For the week receipts
have been the largest of any week so far
this year. While the arrivals have consisted
mainly of range cattle there has also been a
considerable sprinkling ot native and fed
stcck. Considering the heavy receipts the
market has been in splendid condition and
very satisfactory to the selling Interest. On
most days the trade has been active and
each day's arrivals have been well cleaned
up before the close of the market.
Cornfed cattle of strictty good quality
have commanded about steady prices all the
week. On the other hand the medium
grades which come Into direct competition
with western rangers have eased off and
are around 16fr20c lower than the close of
last week. Desirable kinds of western range
steera have also commended steady prices
throughout the week. The medium to com
mon kinds of cattle, on the) other hand,
have eased off a little and are around 15io
20c lower than they were last week.
The market en eows and heifers has been
In about the aame shape as tne market on
beef cattle, that is, the desirable grades
have been free sellers and commanded, good,
steady prices throughout tne week, while
the leas desirable kinds have eased off to
the extent of 154j20c. This was true both of
native and range stock.

QUAINT REST CURE IN JAPAN
Solving; Problems Proves an Effective
Treatment for Mervone
Breakdown,
A lady by the name of Kswaklla Inst
autumn was threatened with a nervous
collapse, which necessitated a visit to the
seaside, and being at Kamakura, she was
persuaded to enter upon the form of ret
cure practiced under th direction of
priest of the famous Jenkoji temple. "It
was on October 1 last," says she, "that
I made the acquaintance of the kwancho
tama, the director of the retreat He ac
ceded very kindly to my request to Join In
the exercises, and aftor asking me about
the hellers I had hitherto entertained as
to gods and Ruddhus. gave me a subject
for meditation.
"The subject was 'Honrs,! no Memmnkti.'
and I was told to think about It until I
had discovered Its meaning or thought I
had done so. When I had solved the prob
lem. I was to come again to the director,
who would either give me a second prob
lem or send me back Io think over It
again.
"The problems thus given are not of a
nature to be easily solved. 1 cannot tell
you the meaning of the particular one
propounded to me, because I am not al
lowed to divulge the secret; It will suf
fice to say that aomt people will think
over one of these formulas for a year
or more without coming to a sallsfactoty
answer.
"It was very difficult for me, with my
family cares and household duties, with
servants and children and visitors coming
to Interrupt me. to devote my whole atten
tion to the problem assigned me. but for
tunately I have been able to avail myself
of stated periods of quiet.
"Once a month, from th beginning of
October to the end of March thero Is a
retreat (selshin) held at the kenknji to
which all students of the contemplative
life are allowed to go. The rot rent last
for a week, and during that time the
male member live entirety at th temple,
the women In private houses or their
own homes.
"Hours of silent contemplation are ob
served, beginning gt 7 o'clock In the
morning and spread over the day until
about f o'clock In the evening five hours
of alienee in all, with the director sitting
In th next room to receive communica
tions apd to furnish us with fresh prob
lems when necessary.
"I had to leave the house early In th
morning with a chochln (lantem) to light
ma; It wa 10 o'clock In the evening be
fore I returned. Our moals during the day
were supplied from the temple; for break
fast, tea, rice gruel and relishes; at mid
day, rtc. kenchln soup and vegetables
bulled In soy; in the evening, tea and rice
gruel.
"Th most important of these meetings
was th one In January. During the
course of It 1 had the good fortune to
ov my first problem. The second prob
lem given ma wa 'Kane no ne wo tomeru,'
how to stop a bell from sounding.
"Tha rest cure Is now over. 1 have
com out of it fortified In body and in
mind. I am no longer nervous and Ir
ritable; I am able to look at things more
dispassionately and feel myself more fit
than I was before to aorta with tha diffi
culties and worrle of life." Japan Maga

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
Oltle Trie HI Hammer on Custom
of the Giving of Weddlugr
Present.
The once pleasant ouatom Of glvHng wed
ding presents has assumed a form ' which
pukes it not merely a nuisance to those
who feel compelled to make gift which
they oannot affbrd, but a positive injury
to multitude of young couple who are
led to expenses entirely beyond their means
in the effort to live up to the environment
created by their wedlng outfit.
When an Invitation to a wedding sets the
wife to thinking what she can go without
that he needs and th husband to won
dering how he Is to get th money for his
life Insurance premium It Is time to think
of the return to the simple life.
Where hammered silver tab sets nd
costly mantel ornaments make the young
wife discontented with the simple surround
ings which her husband's salary Is able to
provide the first step la In many caes
taken on the toad hlch leads to thf
divorce court.
When the wedding present ceased to he the
voluntary offering of Intimate friendship
gnd began to be an obligatory exhibit of
competitive extravagance all th beauty of
the old cubtom vanished.
Th family of moderate mean which now
receives an lnvtstton to a wedding does not
consider the depth of Its love for th ex
pectant couple but whom they will be up
against In the competitive display.
And sometime and we all know It
ther Is the carefully suppressed thought
of what obligations united effort wl b
able to create im th part of the recipient
In anticipation of an exported happy event
at horn.
Tha curse of the ags Is the abandonment
of thrift, th discontent with th simple
environment, the Indisposition to live the
simple life.
Th majority of us ar Incapable of ren
dering to society tlie service which society
can af(trd o reward with larg Incomes.
The hap;iUt Sia those who frankly recog
nise their limitations and seek friendship
and Intercourse among thus who will re
spect tliain for their personal qualities and
not for the display they ar able to make
on the installment plan.
And the making, of wedding present
which the giver cannot afford and which
the receiver cannot afford U match with a
correponding setting Is always uneconomic,
unsocial and Immoral.
And too frequently It ts sordid on both
aides. Cut It out. San Francisco Chronicle.

OPTIMISTIC TREND HOLDS SWAY

RY PRKSTON C. A PA MS.
NEW YORK. Sept. 3 -(Special to Th
Ree l If the number of buers In New York
Is a criterion, there is uolng to be a big
trade all over the country tins season. The
wholesale district Is crowded with niei -counts
from all sections of the coilntry and
with hardly an exception they take a rosy
view of the trade situation back horn. New
York merchants and hankers take tne same
view somewhat modified maybe.
While admitting that trade has been dim
inishing iind that the retrogiarle movement
mav not cease for A time our bankers who
delve deeply into the subject express con
fidence that, when Impi oveinent comes,
conditions will be such that the recovny
will be rspld. They emph-islx
that tbe experience of 17 taught
the niercsntllH world th evils of
over-production. This lesson hss not been
forgotten. The enthusiasm with which ISM0
was entered hsd given place to more sober
Ideas ami producers of all classes have ad
justed their operations to the less op.tlinlstlo
outlook. This means that when the demand
for goods arises the supplies on hand will
not be superabundant, hence the effect
should he very marked.
Uical bank presidents are spending a good
deal of their time In receiving visits from
out-of-town bankers, some of whom are
going no farther afield then New York,
while others sre on their way to or from
Europe. The majority of these visitors carry
with them their optimism which Is char
acteristic of the virile west and the pros
perous south. They adn.it that perhaps
things went ahead too rapidly earlier In th
year, but they claim that banks have cor
rected their over-extended position and will
be able to handle the crops without em
barrassing the east. Ho long as the farmer
is drawing wealth from the soli, at the rat
of IS.OOO.ooO.oO" or more per annum. It takes
a good deal of polltlcnl disturbance to upset
the territory lying wet-t of the Mississippi.
Politics are more a matter of sentiment
than wheat, corn, outs, hay and cotton are.
A feature of the situation which Is worth
attention Is that twenty-eight railroads
hav reported to the Interstate Commerce
commission for June total operating rev
enue of $U2.6'.iO,WS. an Increases as com
pared with 1W9 of $13,014,072, but operating
expenses mci eased 110 less than $12.2'-'2.S;M,
the total havlmt been $764.i63. The operat
ing Income, which Is practically earnings,
was only $.54S,579. showing a decrease of
$1,K)6,H18; fifteen roads recorded gains, while
thirteen failed to retain an increase In their
net profits; and net (no. eases t italled $-.ir.-6'i5,
but the decreases reached $3,371,20. Only
one road kept Its expenses below those of
laat t-jflf
The Improvement In grots earnings Is
extremely satisfactory fi,m the railroad
point of view. In face of the state of trade,
however, the question forces itself to the
front, has this expansion been wholly du
to an enlargement in the volume of traffic,
or have freight rates been quietly raised
by reclassification or other devices known
to railroad managers?
Were not the New York banks carrying
a surplus reserve of between $50,000,000 and
$o0.0i 10.000, the advance In foreign exchange
to the level of 4.8BH for sight drafts might
have produced uneasiness In banking cir
cles, but the rise In rates of almost 1H cents
during the current month has been wit
nessed without the slightest perturbation.
Tho monetary outlook both here and in
Europe has seldom been more satisfactory
than it Is today, London Is making up Its
discount charge, but this Is a quite proper
precaution to take at this time In face of
the coming demands for gold and the de
sirability of attracting French balanoes.
Our own money market is still being
handled very cautiously, yet this Is not
regrettable an ounce of prevention Is better
than a pound of cure.
Making those who pay their bills promtply
seitle accounts of the "dend bents" Is the
main cost of high living, according to
George Oennerlcn, president of the Nw
York Wholesale Grocers' association.
"One of the greatest perils creeping over
our business and every other line of trade.
Is the Indiscriminate manner of allowing
oredlts. By that, you not only endanger
the sucess of your own business, but the
success and welfare of those to whom you
loosely extend credit. By such methods
you practically Invite extravagance, or you
induce persons to whom you give reckless
credit, to live beyond tholr Income. You
and the wholesale grocer, the manufacturer
or the producer from whom you purchase
your supplies, must beer the burden. .
"Certain It is. that the profit the dis
tributer gets for his work Is no more, rather
less, than he hss ever received, and In addi
tion to this, It la equally true that his
expense in marketing those goods Is ma
terially higher."
A Iowa merchant, In discussing the talk
bout the farmers' extravagance In buying
ai'tomoblleo. has this to say:
"The 'fever' to possess auto applies to
the farmer, but he Is buying It for th
young men and daughter at home, to keep
them there, and It Is going to help do It,
I seem to see In this a large movement to
check the farmer boy from leaving th
farm, and It is the wt movement that can
be Inaugurated today. Of course, we know
of cases where the choice was made be
tween an auto and a house Improvement,
and where the euto got the call. Th build
ing project merely waits for the time being,
and I do not feel that the country suffers
like It might where the case was between
an automobile and the necessities. In other
words do think that ther are multiplied
rase of persons buying autos who can III
afford them, at leant not In our section of
the country."
