BULLS.

Special Telegram to The BEE.
CHICAGO, August 1t.-When the wheat
market opened this morning, there
was q slight bullish feeling, which
led a few to buy, although Liverpool
was easier and Id per GENITAL lower. But after
q vain attempt to stem the downward course
of prices, the whole market gave way and
went down with q crash. September opened
at sac, sold down to S7fc, rallied to s64c and
then broke to S6bc before it's progress, could
be checked. An immense quantity of long
wheat, held by outside parties whose margins
were exhausted, came on the market and the
only buyers were shorts, who covered deals at
a big profit, but gave no sustaining power to
the market by so doing.
Never were n lot of bulls more mistaken
than those parties who have been trying to
sustain prices for tho last mouth. The bears,
have steadily pointed to the 1900 600 bushels
IN store here, and said that prices could never
advance until some of that mass of stuff was
sold and moved away, and events have shown
that they reasoned correctly. The unsold
surplus of the old crop has been the milestone
around the neck of trade that has sank the
market AM lots of money. 1t has been a day
Of disaster to u large number of persons, al
though the effect of the depression will ulti-
mately prove beneficial to the trade.
Cargoss in Londo were steady, but there
were large arrivals off coast and the weather
In England was very fine. New York and
st. Louis are not oppressed with such q guam
tity in store. and consequently did not de-
cline so much. 1t locks az though the drep
would continue until somebody comes to buy.
CORN
stood up under the collapse in whsat much
better than would have been possible under
any other circumstances than those which
now exist. 1t is generally understood chat
the amount of old corn in the country is lin
tied, and as long as the present demand con-
tinues ard the present supply diminishes, prices
would be maintained if wheat went do vi out
of sight. Liverpool, however, was easier on
corn, and &c per Genital lower, bus arrivals off
the coast were very light. September opened
4c higher, but gradually fell off TO 454c, and
then rallied a little, while October remained
quite steady, around 4iic. Receipts to-day
were good, but sons still look for music in
CORD, before the crop comes into market.
OATS.
were at a lower range than yesterday, owing
to the large arrivals, hut trading was on q
fairly active scale, and mainly to fill outstand-
ing contracts. No. 2 for August twenty.four
hours ago was 2 1c. To-day sales were from
253c down to 25sc, ard 2 DC was the closing
figure. September fell ac, and closed at the
lowest figure of the day, which was 24ac.

OTrUMwA, Ia, August. II. "A very bad
accident occurred near Eddyville, Iowa, to-
day, by q tail end collision between two sec

The section which was run into was known as

Ahead of the Detroit were long fiat cara, on
which were loaded the wagons containing the

their platforms stove up, and their occupants

Bird Enemies.

From an Out-Of-doOr paper by John
Burroughs, in the December Century,
we quote the following:
"The great bugaboo of the birds is
the owl. The owl snatches them
from off their roosts at night, and
gobbles up their eggs and young in
their nests. He is veritable ogre to
them, and his presence fills them
with CONSERVATION and alarm.
zone season, to protect my early
cherries, / placed large stuffed owl
amid the branches of the tree. Such
a racket as there instantly began
about my grounds is not pleasant to
think upon! The orioles and robins
fairly 'shrieked out their alright
The news instantly spread in every
direction, and apparently every bird
in town came to see that owl in the
cherry tree, and every bird took a
cherry, SO hat lost more fruit than
if had left the owl indoors. With
craning necks and Mortified looks the
birds would alight upon the branches
and between their screams would
snatch off a cherry, as if the act was
somerelief totheir outraged feelings"

HE LEADETH ME.


In pastures green?" Not always; some.
times He
Who knoweth best in kindness leadeth me
In weary ways, where heavy shadows be;
Out of the sunshine, warm and soft and
bright,
Out OF the sunshine into darkest night
| oft would faint with sorrow and alright
Only for this-I know He hold my hand;
SO whetheri in green or desert land, e.
| trust although may not understand.
And "by still waters% No, not always so ;
Oftimes the heavy tempests round me blow,
And DER my soul the waves and pillows go.
But when the storms beat loudest, and | cry
Aloud for help the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is l."
Above the tempest wild hear Him say,
Beyond this darkness lies the perfect day,
In every path of thine l lead the way"
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie-what matter? He is there.
And more than this; where'er the pathway
lead,
He gives to me no helpless, broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need,
SO where He leads me can safely go;
And in the blest hereafter shall know
Why in His wisdom He hath led me so.
