CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays session.

CHICAGO, September 13.-The bull
pressure in wheat to-day was off,
and the market reacted quite sharply,
Outside support was not as good as no.
ted Yesterday, and the local sentiment
was generally bearish in the extreme.
Several times during the session concer-
ted drives were made at the market, re-
suting in moderate reactions from
outside figures; and had 1t not been for
a light interior movement i'll the north
west, and the bullish dispatches from
that part Of the country substantial
break would probably have been wit
messed. One report said that "hai the
wheat in the Red river valley was still i'll
the shock, and the heavy rains of last
night will surely injure it." Subsequent
inquiry brought denials OF the damage
part of this story. A prominent local
operator was a free seller at around 1872
Tor December, and towards the close
when the market display ed its greatest
weakness, large and general realizing
by longs" was witnessed. Based on
Yesterday S latest bids net loss was five
eights in September and year, 34c i'll Oc-
tobcr and December and 1c in May.
An active trade was witnessed i'll corn,
feeling weaker, lower prices being estab-
lished. Transactions were largely i'll
more distant futures, May i'll particular
receiving most attention, and the trad,
in this month was uncOmmonly heavy.
The weakness was due largely to the fine
weather and larger receipts. The local
crowd were not disposed to trade heavily
in near months. The market opened
weak at a shade under yesterdays clos
ing, and under heavy offerings by several
large houses, the market declined l2a5-Sc
was weak and closed with near months,
l2 on yesterday.
Oats were traded in moderately, near
futures developed fair strength, less pres
sure to sell and prices were fairly MAIN
taincd. May recedcd 4aaSc, and the
market closed easy.
Very little business was transacted i'll
mess pork, feeling being tirmcr and prices
higher.
Quiet and steady feeling prevailed in
lard and prices exhibited very little
change.
A fair trade was reported i'll short ribs
and feeling was easier. Prices ruled 2I2-
a5c lower and the market closed quiet at
outside figures.

MIR. CI.ARK'S COW
Ate Nails, Hairpins, Sheet Lead
and Copper RlVets.

Mr.. A. E. Clark lives in Asheville town
ship. He is a Democrat and reads THE
CITIZEN. He is also good citizen and
an upright man. He has been here
many years and has heard and read
many stories-some of which went
down, while some Others didn't. Among
the latter day yarns that have caught
his eye was the story about the Murphy
cow that ate nails and thrived on the
diet. Mr.. Clark shook with envy when
he read that statement, and hitching
straightway his horse to aspring-wagon,
hicd himself to Asheville and sought the
editor. He found him, and crossing him
self three times, laid his hat on the
table, and, waded in. And this was
what he said:
81 saw that tale about the Murphy
bovine that digested the hardware, and
as knew could beat that all holler,
lowed I'd come and tell you about a
cow that sold Blair and NOVEL; in this
town year ago She was the slickest
Creetur you ever saw, and was as gay
and frisky as a one-ycar old. She was
common, ordinary, everyday sort of
beast, and the less you'd give her to eat
the fatter she'd get. Fact, assure you.
didn't understand how such things
could be, and as had more cattle that
year than could keep just took and
brought her to Asheville and sold her for
beef. Two days after the sale, came
back to AshevilIe, and Mr.. NOVEL; told me
that he had killed old "Bess'-that was
the creetur's name-and from her paunch
had taken fifty-eight ten-penny nails, an
cntruscan hairpin, a slip of sheet lead
and a handful of copper rivets-these
kind you fix belly bands and harness
with. didn't believe it, but he showed
me the effects, and | had to cave in,
Now, if there's any other fellow who can
beat this, and tell the truth, why then
I'll throw up the sponge"
And then he got up, put on his hat,
and as he went out of the door yelled
back: Say, if any fellow comes here
with a COW that eat more nails than old
"Bess" did, ask him how many copper
rivets and hairpins and chunks of lead
he found with the nails" And he laughed
a laugh that loosened the nails i'll the
shingles overhead.

Bridges were swept away, tclegraphic

inundated and crops were ruined. The
wind blew a hurricane and the tide rose
to an enormous height completely sub

Reports from the MetUmpky life saving
station are to the effect that the beach
has been badly washed, and that the
station is in imminent danger of being
carried irto the ocean by the heavy
breakers. Lumber is now being hauled
to save the building. Lanterns were
dashed from the hands of the patrolmen
as they patroled the beach by the angry
waves The steamer Maggie olthc Eastern

For many months a very violent war
fare has been wagcd against Mr. Bryant
by the press of the section through which
the road runs, based apparently upon
the stationary character of the business
of the road, the inference from which was
detrimental to Mr.. Bryan's business sa-
gacity and energy. Perhaps the small
rate OF influence, possibly diminution

NEW YORK, September 13.-Futures
were irregular, variable and unsettled.
Operators appeared to be running away
from actual cotton and buying paper
cotton tor distant results. Speculation
for rise on distant results was at one
time quite spirited on reports from New
Orleans that caterpllars were doing
some damage in the southwest; but as
this demand fell off, prices gave way and
the close was weak, large receipts Of in

to the depression. Cotton on the spot
was again fairly active, holders meeting

NEWPORT, X. l., September 13.-The
United States cruiser Atlanta, Captain
Howell, arrived at 10 o'clock this morn
ing A boat came ashore an hour later,
and it was learned that the Atlanta
left New York last Monday morning,
going outside around Sandy Hook, and
had not been back there since. so the re-
port that she passed around Sandy Hook
yesterday was mistake. Since Monday
she has been standing off shore, lying off
and on in order to weather the gale.
She kept good distance from land, pre-
Ierring the gale to the rocks along the
shore Land was sighted only once, last
Tuesday morning. The cruiser was for
the most part off Montauk light. The
weather was thick and foggy; the storm
was very severe and the gale sharp, but
the cruiser weathered it without damage.
She took some seas and was pretty wet,
but behaved admirably, surprising the
officers themselves. The wind was so
strong and the sea so high, that some
times, for several hours, not an inch of
progress would be made with six boilers
did splendidly under the trying circum-
>tances, and rode the sea with remarka-
BILE ease. Early this morning, the storm
having greatly abated, she was headed
for this port, and arrived as reported.
Yesterday, cockswain John Sanders, of
Bar Harbor, died suddenly of heart dis
ease, and was buried at sea about fifty
miles off shore.
The Atlanta will remain for her trials,
for which she came on. -Four trials have
been made here of the Cunningham line
carrying rocket. 1t is for use in case of
wrecks, and consists of rocket carrying
tube, containing Il coiled line which is
paid out as the rocket and the tube pass
through the air from the vessel to shore.
The trials were conducted by Patrick
Cunningham, the inventor, and were
witnessed by Commodore Walker, U. 5.

from the Chicago and 900 yards made;
the other two were made at the Torpedo
station. and 900 yards made.
