CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, August 81 Special Telegram to
the BEE. l-CATTLE-rhe receipts to-day
were comparatively large and the market
opened in a very 'weak-kneed" fashion.
Buyers were bidding considerably lower, and
they attempted to "hammer" the market for
all kinds. Good fat cattle, however. did not
sell much lower. The general market was
slow and weaker than OIL last Friday, but de-
sirable corn-fed cattle sold at about steady
prices. Grassy and common cattle of all sorts
sold 10c lower and in some cases could not be
sold at a greater reduction. Some 11S0 ID
corn-fed cattle sold at IS. S5, and a good many
cattle which the owners considered of pretty
decent quality sold below $500.
The range cattle offerings to-day were
quite liberal, there being nearly
1900 range cattle here, being all Southern
Texans eXcept about two train loads. Very
naturally the market weakened under such a
run and prices were about 10c lower than
last week; S35 Montana Texans. 1901 lbs,
$3.50: 275 Colorado Texans, 1,045 lbs, $3.50;
20 COWS, 947 lbs, $2.75; 96 Montana, 1,240 lbs,
S4.00; us Montana, LOSE lbs, S3.65.
HoGs-Trade was active and prices steady
on prime corn fed stock. Common, grassy
and skips were plentiful and slow with the
turn rather downward. The best corn fed
mixed sold at S4.75G04.S5, and best heavy
S4.90t05. 10; light, including York sort, S4.00(9

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, August 9.-lSpecal Telegram to
the BEE l-WHEAT-Tho wheat market
opened where it left off Saturday, iGisc being
paid FOR September, and ISa,c for October
Under moderate offerings n decline of 1850
ensued followed by a fractional recovery.
September remained nearly stationary for an
hour and when the visible supply announce.
ment came at 10 o'clock sharp, Seucmbcr
was incrtly anchored at 1Gi3c During tho
last hour the market sold down Ssc, and
closed at inside quotations, viz, 75sIc for
September, 7i%c for October, and NORMALLY
79SSc for November The increase was lar
ger than had been expected, and as the re,
ceipts at western points continue liberal, a
good deal of Investment property came out OF
the hands of discouraged holders. Room
traders suddenly shifted to the bear side of
the market and helped prices down. During
the last half hour the market was especially
heavy.
CoRN--The decrease in the visible supply
of corn was a surprise, but the elation caused
by the announcement was not sufficient to
overcome the hcaviness occasioned by the
large receipts, present and anticipated and
tho market ruled weak and lower. The ro-
ceipts to-day were nearly 200 cars and tomor-
rows postings are expected to be little short
OF 1000 cars. The ope ming prices did not
indicate special weakness, but the close of
the market was at a decline of A@>sc on the
day. The volume OF speculative business
was large without being extraordinary, but
orders from outside We're not numerous. The
bulk OF selling, aside from the operations OF
scalpers, was against corn bought, not much
sporting being INDUCED in. The strongest
men are still bullish on corn and their intlu-
ence Is being extended to the encouragement
of bear raiding.
OATs-OatS We're heavy and closed 1499so
lower for August and next months delivery,
later months not suffering so great a deprec-
alton. The large current receipts have q
depressing effect on the market, and as the
arrivals for some days will be free, buyers
evinced no anxiety to pay the outside figures
asked BY holders. In a speculative way, oats
were dull, September closing at ISL @2S9sc,
October at DOS and May at i35sc.
PRovIsIoNS-PrO,is isons inclined to firm
ness early but sold oil later and closed 2Oc
lower for pork 2l1c lower for September and
fl3c lower for October lard. Ribs We're rela-
lively the strongest article on the list. Tips
to buy were freely circulated and sparingly
acted on. The last prices for RIBS show
very slight change in September and mono in
October as compared with Saturday.

which have prevented legislation on land

millions and millions OF acres and tens of
millions of dollars at stake in these lands,

TO prevent the passage OF bills furfeiting
these lands. This they have done, as is easy
to be seen. Bills forieitng over one hundred
millions of acres of lands, which ought to
have been passed long ago, still remain on

ASSAULTED THE COURT.
A South Omaha Justice has a Match
With n Local Tough.

With Local Tough.
Justice O'Connell's court in South
Omaha was the scene of a slugging match
yesterday afternoon, which was fought to
finish without gloves. rules or any Fal-
lon-O' Brien advertising. The principals
were the court himself and local slug
ger, named Jim Richie. The fight was
made without any arrangements, not
even seconds being on hand. 1t appears
that Richie, who has the reputation of
being tough, had row on Sunday
night and severely pounded his opponent.
He was arrested by a constable on war
rant from Justice O'Connells court and
taken before hls honor for trial yester-
day afternoon. He plead not guilty and
asked that number OF witnesses
be summoned in his behalf. The court
granted his request and sent the consta-
Bile out after the tcstiiiers, The particu-
lars of the next act have not been made
public. The attention of outsiders was
attracted by sounds OF revelry inside the
justice shop, and those tlrst to enter
found the court and the sluggor tangled
up IN n heap ON the floor. They were
separated and, order having been re-
stored, the court proceeded to sentence
his assailant to thirty days in the county
Jail. Justice O'Connell states that as
soon as the constable left the court room
in search of witnesses, Richie began
abusing the court, aud finally assaulted
him. The court is somewhat disfgured,
but is still doing business Mt the old stand.

GEOLOGICAL POINTS.
Surprising Features which . Birds Eye
View of the Earth Would Disclose.

! snrprisIng Features Which Q Birds Eye
View of the Earth Would Disclose.
II we imagine an observer contem-
J plating the earth from convenient
I distance in space and scrutinizing its
features as it rolls before him, we may
supposed him to be struck with the fact
that eleven-sixteenths of its surface are
covered with water. and that the land
is so equally distributed that from one
point Of view he would see a hemisphere
almost exclusively oceanic, while nearly
the whole of the dry land is gathered in
the opposite hemisphere. He might
observe that the great oceanic area oil
the Pacific and Antartic Oceans is dot
ted with islands-like a shallow pool
with stones rising above its surface-as
| II its general depth were small in COM
| parison with its area. He might also
notice that a mass or belt of land sur
rounds each pole, and that the northern
ring sends off TO the southwark three
vast tongues of land and of mountain
chains. terminating respectively in
South America, South Africa and Aus
tralia, toward which feebler and insular
processes are given of by the Antartic
continental mass. This, as some geo.
graphers have observed, gives rudely
three-ribbed aspect to the earth, though
two of the three ribs are crowded to-
gether and form the Europ-Asian mass
or double continent, while the third is
isolated in the single continent of
America. He might also observe that
the northern girdle is cut
across, so that the Atlant
opens by wide space into the Arctic
Sea, while the Pacific is contracted to-
ward the north, but continent with the
Antart Ocean. The Atlantic is also
relatively deeper and less numbered
with islands than the Pacific. which has
the higher ridges near its shores, con-
stituting what some visitors to the Pa
citic coast of America have not inaptly
called the shack of the world" while
the wider slopes face the narrower
ocean, into which for this reason the
greater part OF the drainage of the land
is poured. The Pacific and Atlantic,
though both depressions or Hattenings
of the earth, are different in age, char
acter and conditions; and the Atlantic,
though the smaller, is the older, and
from the geological pc Mt of view, in
some respects, the more important of
the two. If our imaginary observer
had the means of knowing any thing of
the rock formations of the continent,
he would notice that those bounding the
North Atlantic are in general of great
age, some belonging to the Laurentic
system. On the other hand, he would |
see that many of the mountain ranges
along the Pacific are comparatively
new, and that modern ingenious action
occurs in connection with them. Thus
he might be led to believe that the At
lantic, though comparatively narrow.
is an older feature of the earth surface,
while the Pacific belongs to more mod
ern times.-Sir William Dawson, IN
Popular Science Monthly.
