The feeling in the corn market was un-
settled. Trading was active on specula-
tive account and fair shipping demand
prevailed. Influenced by warmer weather
continued free arrivals and lower prices
abroad and in the surrounding markets,
operators sold more freely, while buyers

Oats were dull and weak. Shipping or
ders were not urgent, and all buyers were
disposed to take advantage of the weak

over the speculative market. The arrivals
continue liberal, and cash oats were in
ample supply, car lots of No. 2 were 80

had to allow concessions.

In barley dull and heavy feeling could
be noticed. On the regular market trad

change. No. 2 cash was steady and could
be sold at 60c. The deferred futures,
however, were easy. No. 3 was, if any
thing, little better. The supply of No. 3
on the sample market exceeded the de-
mand. Sales were slow and prices weak.
Only the best grades received any atten-
tion.
There was only a moderate business
transacted in the market for hog products
to-day, but the changes in prices were
quite frequent. Speculators were not in
clined to do much trading and shippers
were favored with few orders. Foreign
advices indicated dull and weak feeling
abroad, and lard in Liverpool was quoted
Sd lower. Eastern markets were inclined
to quietness and prices favored buyers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE market on
the stock exchange to-day was repetition
of yesterdays, only less of it and with
diminutive in quality. There was no lack
of good feeling in the bull element at the
opening, If the strength manifested could
be acceptable as reliable indication, and
yet there was a decided lack of enthusiasm.
Prices were higher, but there was no
activity. The exceptions to be noted were
Northern Pacifcs and Oregon Transconti-
mental, both of which dragged heavily, and
after the first hour created a despondent
sinking tendency throughout the list. At
1890 the transactions footed up the
Insignificant sum of $4,000 shares, or about
half that of yesterday to that hour. Dur
ing the rest of the day there was no change
in the dullness or prices worthy of men
tion.
Their was a fair demand for stocks this
morning, and prices for time inclined to
improve. A. selling movement in the
Northern Pacific later in the day caused a
weak feeling, and prices dropped, the
market becoming exceedingly dull. There
was scarcely of fresh orders, and the
room traders had it all to themselves the
greater part of the day. Outside of few
rumors not worth mentioning
there was nothing to influence stocks
one way or the other. The result has been
decidedly unsatisfactory market to all
concerned. The surplus of the Union
Pacific from January to August is said to
have increased some $5OO,O0O, and the
earnings of the Illinois Central for the
first week of the present month $685. 900 Jer

other hand all the promises of the mana

The rumor of rate cutting is set down as
sheer nonsense by the managers of the

he has had to come to the assistance of

make bull market based on the largest
corn crop the country ever had, and is
again overtaken by severe blight to the
crop just as in 1881.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE continued warm
weather and liberal receipts, together with
favorable reports from the territory visited
by the frost, has depressing influence for
the present on the market, and prices have
been drifting downward all day. A tenn
perature of 80 degrees was more than corn
could stand. Buyers were most cautious,
while the bears sold heavily. The loss Is
about &c, and would haYe been more but
for the announcement that a cold wave
was approaching. There was good deal
of resistance in the market, and at times
when firmness was shown the offerings
would suddenly cease. For a while there
was inquiry for September, but this dropped
off later. Wheat LOST about the same as
corn. 1t exhibited a declining tendency
from the opening. The bulls seemed tired
of waiting for an advance, and sold about
all the market would take without creating
panic. On call there was an immense trade
at easier prices. Lester sold an enormous
line. The bulk of the offerings were alb
sorbed by the short interest. A further
decline now seems prohable. There were
less hogs to-day both here, in Kansas City
and other surrounding markets, and prices
were sitter, but prices were unfavorably
affected by the weakness of grain. The
downward tendency was augmented by
sales of pork for New York and for the
EIdridgs people here. In lard Hutchinson
bought freely, but the decline in October
has been twenty cents, and the close is
weak. The vessel charters to-day we're
$1,000 bushels of corn and only 10000
bushels of wheat, while besides 32,700
bushels by canal, 1850 car loads of grain
were received, of which 331 were wheat and
724 corn. Over half million bushels of
corn were shipped, but the movement out
OF corn was inconsequential.
On the board to-day the wheat pit
showed an average amount of activity. A
very fair business was transacted on specu-
lative account, but the feeling was weaker
and prices ruled lower all round. The re-
ceipts continue very fair, which, together
with dull European markets and lower
prices in neighboring winter wheat mark

Amount Of Liquor Drank In Illinois.

. TRUTHsEEKER-
We are all "truthseekers;" all who
have any genuine claim to honesty.
There is certainly no occasion to exag-
gerate the statistics of the liquor traffic;
they are sad enough, every good citi-
zen must confess; mortifying enough,
one would suppose, to shame the devil
himself There is an error, undoubted-
ly, in the above estimate, but it Is not
on the side that 'Truthseeker" sup
poses 1t is an underestimate, thought
to be sufficiently alarming, and inten-
tionally reduced below our actual COM
putation, for the very purpose of avoid
ing any ground for the charge Of. exag-
geration. But since even this low esti-
mate provokes the above question, we
submit the following data as to the re-
tail liquor traffic of this city, remarking
in passing that there is reason to believe
that Chicago is not the chief of sinners
in this business, Buffalo having one sa-
loon to every SO inhabitants and New
York one to every 135 inhabitants.
whereas this city has but one to every
100.
From testimony given in court in
various cases, and from the prices of
rents, cost of living, wholesale cost of
beer, whisky. wine and other spirituous
and fermented liquors, it is generally
conceded that the gross receipts of the
poorest class of saloons average not less
than S12 to S15 day, while the princi-.
pal establishments take in from $3.50 to
$3.50 a day, according to seasons, days
and special circumstances.
The following estimate is based on OBJ
servations made as to the patronage OF
six Chicago saloons, so long. ago as
1877, by the founders of the Citizens
League. The figures in the first column
give the number of persons, male and
female, seen to enter these places be.
tween seven p. m. and midnight; the
second column is our own computation
of the money paid in, assuming that
nothing but beer was called for, at five
cents glass, two-thirds of the customers
drinking but one glass, and the rest Of
them averaging only two glasses each,
and the third column indicates the prob
able actual receipts, adding for the or
dinary consumption of drinks more
costly than beer:

feature of this blind nuisance is that he

and on this sign-board he sometimes
takes fights into the realm of poesy
that are really startling. Often this

A good, honest, Industrious workman
will earn more in day than most beg
gars pick up, but some blind rascals are
wonderfully. lucky. One man, who had
lived by begging many years, was at
last induced to change his mode OF life.
Some time after he met one of his old

There is young man who begs IN
front of the Press Club, Boulevard des
Italiens, who applied not long ago to
one of the matrimonial agencies to find
him wife. He did not insist that she
should be handsome, nor did he demand
virtuous woman, but he was firm in
his insistance that she should have
dot of no less than $1,000, pretension
on his part which was fully justified by
the amount of his average daily income
from charity. The opposite of the
blind beggar is the cul de jatte, or fell
low without legs, who runs around on
his hands and thigh stumps, or is drawn
in a hand-cart by an associate. These
cripples are always the most active and
the most dissipated to be seen in Paris.
They are a bold, disgraceful lot of beg
gars, and the police are powerless be-
fore them. Stay! 1t is indifference
rather than lack of power that permits
policemen to overlook the impudence Of
the caL de .jattes, who are, in a majority
of cases, thieves as well as beggars.
Some few of these detestable individuals
are as sound in limb and as physically
well formed as any man of my acquaint-
ance. There is no telling the artificial
from the genuine, and the safe and wise
plan is to avoid giving charity to all of
them. In Paris, as in all large cities,
there are regularly established societies
who look after the poor Systematically
and carefully, and, with perhaps an oc-
casional exception, there is no need
whatever of bestowing aims on the in
Vulnerable beggars that fill the streets
of this capital. To coming visitors my
earnest advice is: keep your sous in
your pocket. If you don't you won't be
able to satisfy the thieving shop-keep-
ers. Paris Cor. Chicago NeOs.
