Condition Of the Markets.

The general markets are far from
satisfactory, especially in wheat and pork.
The European war cloud has not, so far,
had the stimulating effect anticipated on
the former, while it has had most depress-
ing effect on the latter. In the produce mar
l1et, eggs are in demand, but poultry and
common shipping butter are drug.
In the wheat market we quote from St.
Panl and Minneapolis prices, sl.o2@l .06 for
No. I; 9sc@S1.0o for No. 2; and 90@95c for
No. 3. Milwaukee paid Sl.22 for No. l, and
sl.l8 for No. 2. Chicago prices were weak at
S1.19@1. 20 tor No. l., and SLIT for No. 2.
The hog market at the local markets was
very good, but in Chicago. which has long
since outstripped Cincinnati as market, the
price is reported as very uncertain, with pros
poets in favor of very large arrivals. In local
markets the ruling price for the week has been
6E@5Ac.
Fruits are still low, with small prospects of
an early advance. Apples can be bought in
st. Paul and other Northwestern markets for
$235@2.50 per barrel for first Michigan, and
1926 for common lots.
Oats, corn and barley are weak and there is
little demand

A Dogs Only Drunk.

Here is an anecdote with sharp

from Australia Sixty years ago, when

Ere long he became tipsy-he howled
most piteously. and unnaturally looked
up in my face as if for help. He be-
gan to stagger and fall like drunken
man. The appearance Of his face and
eyes was extraordinary. He lay on tho
floor and howled until the effects of
the drink wore off. The dog never for
got the trick. Whenever afterward l
went to the dresser for the bottle he
FASTENED to the outside of the house.
One day, the door being shut, he sprang
at one bolt through pane of glass, to
get outside. So much for the wisdom
of the dog-infnitely SURPRISING that

Remarkable Discovery In Hungary.

Two peasants, while digging in tho

on what appeared to be square

discovery. Both of them went down
together, and found themselves in q

There never were such a number of

fewer than ninety-six persons of that

of people have become ruined in the

I. Brooklyn theatre took fire on the
night OF the 9th, and was burned down, burn
ing upward of 800 persons in the ruins. The
story of the disaster was one of the most hor-
rible OF modern times. Just above the land.
ing place of the stairway a woman, in the
crush, had her foot pinched between the BAN
listers and fell. The crowd behind, forced for
ward by the terrified people still behind, fell
over her and piled on top of each other four

house next door were promptly at hand, but
owing to the manner in which people were
piled on top OF each other and massed togeth-

these were all bruised bleeding and MANNED.

there and endeavored, as best we could to

and the passages are clear" Not one of the
audience jumped on the stage. The flames
were then coming down on us, and I
