UNREST.

The springs unrest the blossom swells.
IT'S in the wistful winds confessed!
And deep In hearts of men It dwells-
The springs unrest.
It wakes anew the old, sweet quest
OF secrets summer never tells,
In dreams alone made manifest
How strong the magic Of these spells,
That breathe from earth's awakening breastI
Not even thy touch, dear love, dspels
The springs unrest

FIRST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains
in various parts of the body, sinking
at the pit of the stomach, loss of APP
petite, feverishness, piInples or sores,
are all positive evidence of poisoned
blood. No matter how it became
poisoned it must be purified to avoid
death. Acker's English Blood Elixir

On train between Jersey City and Pater-
son poorly dressed woman, carrying baby
in her arms, walked through two coaches and
was unable to find a seat. The railroad hog
was there. In dozen cases he had the whole
seat by himself, and he meant to keep it.

smoking car, and by aud by the hog went

Grain and Provisions.


CHICAGO, H.. July 28.-Wheat today nd
vanced &c In about two hours without any
great excitement. II was u case in which
short interest for long account and buying
agents for foreign account all combined TO
make n broad and strong market In addi-
ton the bad weather abroad, the failure OF
much Of the new wheat on this side to grade
No 2 and the favorable export clearances
converted any Indifferent ones into enthusi-
astic bulls Opening prices we're about &c
over last night. The first few minutes start
ed prices mp quite briskly and before noon
August sold up 10 SIC and September TO
~ 4c an advance Of l%c in each case. Then
came u reaction Of NC on realizing sales and
after ~ o'clock prices started up again and
touched s2l,c for August, s2lsc for Septem-
Der. Again there was n reaction Of &c part
ly restored afterward, the cloiing prices
being s2c for August and S2}sc for Septem-
Der.
The corn market was weak while every
thing else doomed. II started off in step
with wheat, August going from i53Sc 10 46c,
September from I5c 10 i5AC and October
from II9S Ia doe, but the pace was too rapid.
II halted, then IL turned down and kept on
going down, closing prices showing "A de-
cline Of sc, ~ compared with yesterday.
The range was ldlHc Receipts today were
35S cars against estimates Of $40 cars, and
'Nlllhdl'N lbl "bluuN run lIull tsb W ff'
cars. The board table shows shipments for
the week 10 have been ll0I S07 bushels
against ,0Sl 02s bushels received. Brilliant
crop prospects continue to hc the club that
Is used To dcprcss values, and the free move
mcnt from the interior indicate lack Of
country confidence in future high prices.
Trade today was quite up toaycrago volume.
Oats attracted little attention. Early fut-
ures declined slightly for the session, while
other futures were steady. Pork was active
aud stronger and advanced % sc, but receded
aud closing sales showed net gain Of l5c.
A fair number Of outside buying orders were
received but the bulk Of the trading was by
local scalpcrs. Shorts have become demon
allied at the continued advances, covered
freely and bid prices up ON themselves. A
feature Of today's trading was the sharp de-
mand for January and the year September
opened at ili.25 sold 10 Sli.i5, reccdcd 10
SiL37 = and closed at that figure The year
sold at il3dl3.25 and closed at the top.
