WHEAT LOSING ITS GAIN.
The Radicals as Bears in Wheat and
Bulls in Corn.
Expecting Provisions to Increase, Ac
count of Foreign and Domestic De-
mand-Largo Receipts of Hogs.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-Wheat is 1%c lower
than it was twenty-four hours ago; corn
L@Hc higher There was a weaker foreign
cable received this morning and the receipts
were larger, two circumstances which ac-
count for the direction prices took. The re-
ceipts of corn to-day were pretty large 1886
carsl and of wheat fair (24S cars). The
week closes with wheat for November at
951@c, for December at 965sc for January at
97%c, and for May at $1.042sc. Of the nine
cents advance which was gained, half has
been lost
The prospects, with fair weather, of very
much larger receipts Monday and Tuesday,
kept corn within very narrow limits to-day,
and some large operators took up a position
in the corn-pit, and this, together with the
little anxiety which is felt lest next month or
this there may be little squeeze, would have
put the prices up had not the receipts been
large The radicals are bears in wheat and
bulls on corn. The easy increase in the ar
rivals of corn, whenever SOC is approximated,
is proof that large lot of old corn remains
in the country yet. There is certainly no.
body under corn with strength enough to
corner it. This grain closed tonight at 1910
for November, 491Ic for December, and 5O7ac
for May.
Oats closed at 322sc for May-last nights
figure exactly.
The receipts of hogs this week aggregated
1884, ,297, more even than the packers pre-
dicted The prices, in consequence, declined
10@15c and hogs are now on a 415c basis.
Sales ranged from $500 to $5.05, with the
bulk of the trading between s. 20 and $465.
The present prices of products are on basis
of 4c hogs. Provisions were, during the
week, pretty strong, weakening only little
toward the close, out of sympathy with the
break in the price of live hogs. The local
stocks will cut no figure in the calculations
OF speculators. From this they will nat
urally increase. The foreign and domestic
demand for all kinds of produce is said TO be
good and improving. The packers are nat
urally acting in concert all this season. They
talk bearshly, with no other motive, per-
haps, than to affect the price of hogs. To-
day the range in pork was only 10c, Decem-
Der closing at $lO.87% and January at
$1147X. Lard closed as it did last night;
ribs 2%c higher

Mammoth Procession at RorIfn,
BERLIN, Nov. 1O.-Last night the church,
bells rang out to remind the city that the
great Luther commemoration would take
place to-day Flag-stafs were reared on all
the roofs and shops, and great and small
combined, in gratitude to the reformer with
desire to earn an honest penny by exhibit
ing his portrait in their windows. AT
o'clock this morning all the school children,
numbering $4,000, went in fifty-three divis-
ions, each headed by band, to attend a short
service at the churches, where busts of
Luther, decorated with flowers, stood before
each altar. A choir and band on the high
tower of the town hall rendered "Eine Feste
Berg" and other Lutheran hymns. The
Emperor with the Crown Prince attended
the services at st. Ncholass Church,
and procession was formed by the munich
pal authorities. After the heralds and mu-
scians and the city banner came the Prot
estant clergy, the professors and students of
the university, the highest city officials, gem
erals, and other civil officials of the kingdom
and empire, presidents of colleges, rectors Of
the high-schools, honorary citizens, alder
men, magistrates, city deputies, citizens and
delegates directors of public institutions,
inspectors of buildings inspectors of schools,
chiefs of districts and rectors of parish
schools, heads of magistrates offices, two
marshals and four heralds. Through the
day there were lectures, addresses perform
ances, tableaux concerts, banquets, popular
festivals, fireworks and illuminations, and
Berlin paid with enthusiasm her tribute to
the grandest historical figure which Ger
many has produced.
The members of the imperial family at
tended special Luther service at the Cathedral.
The historical procession at Eisleben, yes
terday, was great success. 1t represented
Luthers reception by Count Mansfield, and
consisted of heralds, trumpeters, banner
men, huntsmen, falconers, knights, esquires,
councillors, and noblemen, with attendants,
all richly dressed in the costumes OF the times
of Luther. Luther rode in a decorated car
riage with three sons, followed by city guilds
with banners miners, trades associations
and citizens generally, in various antique
costumes. The whole made 4 splendid spec
tacle eliciting continuous shouts of admira-
tion along the route of the procession.
In other cities of Germany special services
in honor of Luther were held in 300
churches

Hinged Adders Creeping Out from Eggs.

About the middle of August basket
of serpents' eggs was sent to the Berlin
Aquarium. They were found by some
laborers in heap of dirt, the old SER
penis having been killed under the i'm
preston that they were poisonous.
There were about two hundred eggs
adhering firmly together. forming a
mass resembling the cocoons of the
silkworm.
To the great Joy and surprise of DIR.
Hermes, the director of the Aquarium,
who summoned numerous observers,
the eggs began to show signs of life on
the second day after being placed in
the egg house. Twenty or thirty small
serpents known as ringed adders (Tro-
pjdonOtUs matrir) broke through the
leather-like shell, and after few min
utes crept quickly around the cage.
These ladders were sixteen to eighteen
centimeters in length, and in color were
exactly like their parents, having the
well known yellow spot on the back
part of the head. Some of the.serpents
showed at once their love for the water,
gliding into the basin and showing
great skill in swimming.
The Matching of the other sefpents
was quite remarkable. The high tenn
perature of the room and the lack Of
moisture from the decaying earth dried
the covering of the eggs and made it
very difficult for the young reptiles to
make their longed for entrance into the
world, They could only stretch out
their heads, their bodies being firmly
held by the parchment-like she'll. With
out assistance theyoung serpents would
have persisted. A large place was cut
in the shell, and it could be plainly
seen how the snakes, firmly twisted to-
gether, lay in their narrow prison.
They stretched themselves out at once,
so that a few minutes afterward none of
them could have been forced back into
the empty shells. The ringed adder is
perfectly harmless, the crescent-shaped
yellow spot distinguishing it from the
poisonous adder, which has black zig
gag lines on the back.-ILuStrirte Zeit-
ana.

used to wear in his younger days. And he
certainly looked like a fine gentleman,
younger and happier one than had gone
out of that hose for many day. Into the
carriage again and off like the wind!
As he whirled through the streets, he
caught sight of a woman's figure, plodding
slowly along the snowy sidewalk. He
started and was on the point of stopping
the carriage; but he checked himself, say
ing: at is only a few minutes more that

How Drainage Helps.

Experiment has shown that for the
best welfare Of crops a soil should not
be more than from one-tenth to one
third full of water; that is to say, most
of the larger spaces between the solid
particles ere empty of anything except
air. This healthy condition sometimes
comes about of itself, when an open
subsoil lets the surplus water run away
freely from the surface; but usually ar
titicial drainage is necessary to secure
it. One of the most marked good eff
fects of this underdrainage, whether
natural or artificial, is the improve
ment in the temperature of the soil. If
this surplus water cannotpass off below
in due time, it must be evaporated into
the air, at the inevitable cost of q
great quantity of heat which would
otherwise have served to warm the soil;
a wet soil, like wet person coming out
of bath, is cold.
The less heat soil must lose in this
way, the greater will be its reserve
stock, useful not only for the produc-
ton of crops, but also for their protec-
ton against cold. The suns rays do
not warm the air as they pass through
it; they warm the soil and the rocks;
these then throw out or radiate this alb
sorbed heat into the air and warm it.
The lateness of a frost in any locality
depends therefore not little on the re-
serve supply of heat in the soil; and
this again depends largely on the free
dom of the soil from surplus water
during the heated season: well-drained
and properly dry soil will not only give
a larger and better crop than an I'M
drained and wet soil, but its crops will
not suffer the harm from early frosts
that may ruin the harvest of undrained
fields.-N. Y. Tribune.
