Hts Chicago wheat Corner Pro-
neuuced n Failure.

CnIcAoo. Dec. i.-Therc is nj excite.
mont whatever on Change to-day. and
prices for wheat have averaged lower,
closing with q decline Of about q. OF a
cent from yesterday. Tho papers are
inclined to sympaihize with Kecno in
this movement. and to take the ground
that he is doing the northwest a service
in assisting farmers TO obtain q fair
price for their grain. The general belief
Is that money can be made on wheat
purchased now. provided II is held until
navigation opens next April or May.
The shaping Of events may not improb.
ably cause q considerable rise even
before that time. Keene and his broker
friends still maintain an impenetrablo
air Of mystery. and refuse to give n clue
TO their operations.
NEw York. Dec. 1.-The Times says:
The story about Kcene and Hatch going
to Chicago with $1,000, 900 to CORNER"
wheat is the topic OF much m,rriment
on the Produce Exchange. With the
enormous crop harvested this year.
and the immense quantities constantly
arriving. II il regarded as M utter ini.
possibility for any man or set OF men to
get up q corner in grain Of any kind.
Dealers say their Chicago confrcres can
furnish Keene with all the wheat he can
pay for with cash, or as much borrowed
money az he can raise, and legitimate
trade will not be d%isarranged to an ap-
probable extent. Temporary embarrass.
mont in special grades at special times
may be caused. but only spectators
who may he short Of the market will DO
hurt, and nobody cares whether they are
or not. The truth is that Keene X Co.
went heavily into au attempt TO bull the
market on Winter wheat, particularly
No. 9 red, for November delivery. but
the newspapers exposed their game be-
fore thoy had an opportunity 10 unload,
and they have now. consequently. on
their hands about rs much OF that kind
OF wheat M they can manage. Tho
present purchases Of Spring wheat are
for the purpose Of renewing the attempt
to raise prices on that kind which Is
coming into market, and thus afford
the gamblers m opportunity OF slipping
out OF tho trap which they set for them.
selves, without too much loss. ii Is q
desperate game, and the chances are al
against It's success.

Forms OF Address.

Herbert Spencer, in his treatise of
the Evolution of Ceremonial Govern
ment," gives some interesting illustra-
tions of forms of address and modes
practised by various people and nations
of the earth. These he assumes to be
mainly the expression of the relation of
the conquered toward the conqueror.
Thus when the Turkish oourtier ad-
dresses the Sultan as "Center of the
Universe, your slaves head is at your
feet" or the Siamese who says to his
superior "Lord Benefactor, at whose
feet I am )" to Prince, 81, the soles Of
your feet" to King I, dust-grain
at your sacred feet" In Russia, even
in these days, petitions begin with $50
and SO strikes his forehead {" on the
ground") and petitioners are called
"forehead-strikers." In France, as late
as 1877, it was the custom to say 81 kiss
your grace's hands," 81 kiss your lord
ships feet" Even to-day in Spain
where orientalisms still obtain it is the
custom on taking leave OF a lady, to say
