GRAIN AND PRODUCE

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.--The wheat market
was unsettled today, with higher prices
early. followed by decline, which, how
ever. ouly sent prices fraction below sat
urdav's figure The crowd was bullish on
the whole and fought the decline. Two or
three things tended to increase the number
of sellers. The primary receipts were lib
eral. over 100000 bushels at ten points,
while export clearnces were small, only
IS 900 bushels Of wheat, and but 1900
bushels of wheat and flour from Atlantic
ports. This was very discouraging after
the reports of liberal taking for wheat.
Wheat continu ed to grow stronger toward
the close and at / p. N. closed at S4}6c, &c
under the best p oint for the day, and &c
over the close on Saturday. This was en-
couraging to the bulls, who feared that the
market was going TO smash early
There was a good volume of trading IN
corn early and prices advanced a fraction
higher a slight advan ce in sympathy with
everything else on the floor About IL a.
IN there was a break oil nearly lc caused
by the estimate of 660 C, lrs Tor tomorrow,
and then the pounding in wheat A rally
uf &c still later left the price OF Septem-
Der at the top only "a C under Saturday, at
1910.
An unsettled feeling d eveloped in pro-
visions \ fair volume of business was
transacted. the bulk being local. Septem-
Der pork broke from $14.43 to Sl4.23 but
reacted and closed at tble same price as
Saturday, at Sl4 300 Sl43 Lard develop
ed more strength, trading at Times being
large. September sold at IS. S5@SS.91
and closed there, the net advance beng =
to nc. Short ribs closed &c higher, at
k7.S7jz.
New oats was in fair demand for ship
ment, but prices ruled weak and &c lower
under larger offerings. Old oats were III
moderate demand and firm.

A LIVELY YEAR.

The ST. Paul Globe pronounces 1888 a
lucky year, not only in poker, but in
astrology also. The GlobeSays:
''lf you have the blues, cheer up.
Perhaps it has never occurred to you
that years with three Fights in them are
lucky years. They don't come often,
only once in thousand years, but it is
lucky person who lives to see one of
them. There is an old Chaldean super
stition that year with three Fights is
one of unlimited blessings. None but
lucky stars are in the ascendancy, fields
blossom with abundant harvests. the
cattle are lowing on thousand hills,
shepherds lead their flocks through
green pastures and by still waters and
business enterprises prosper; everything
you touch turns to gold; want and famine
skulk into their hiding places until these
days of universal prosperity are over.
Pestilence seals his lips and no foul
breath poisons the atmosphere; mirth
holds high carnival, and for twelve
moons sorrow and signing shall flee
away. Those who have faith in this an
cient superstition will derive additional
comfort from the construction of the fig
ures in this year. There are three of a
kind and one spot. 1t Is not the best
arrangement of the figurative symboliza-
ton that could be made, yet it is better
than anything that will be done in the
next thousand years."

ST JOHNS PARTY.

1t seems that person of the name of
j. w. Forrest, of Thayer, has undertaken
TO raise the funds necessary to keep the
st. John party agoing during the next
campaign. This he proposes to do by
getting people to sign notes, which he
had sent around, asking that the faith
fui may sign them in sufficient quanti-
ties to aggregate $4,000, the sum he
deemed necessary to defeat the Republi-
can ticket in this state. This is his sole
object, as there is nothing in his circular
hostile to the Democracy, which is the
party he would attack if honest. 1t will
take several ten thousand dollars to beat
one end of the Republican party in
Kansas, but $1O,010 will buy living for
quite large number of impecunious
men who will not work. If they could
do anything for the st. John party, the
National Liquor Dealers association
would undoubtedly furnish them the
funds. -Leavenworth Times.

from his home at Emporia to the Win

name by that paper as candidate for
the governorship of Kansas. He says:
| thought it sentiment, or the out
growth of the devotion of few friends
that would adjust itself in time without
formal declination, but l find was mis-
taken, and the assurance of support from
all classes, and all parts of the state has

leading men and others, who voluntarily
offered their support, and the press for
their generous and kindly notices, and
now with sincerity, say, have not been
and cannot be candidate for governor
