CmcAoo, H., Feb. 26.AThe volume Of
trading in wheat was fairly large, and the
feeling unsettled, within lower range of
prices. The market opened strong, 9s@lc
higher under good buying, with shorts
probably forced in TO some extent. The
favorable tenor OF European market
adyices may have helped 10 strengthen the
feeling. The quantity Of wheat on ocean
passage also showed decrease. Al the adj
vance it was noticed that the speculative
offerings increased; and this checked further
advance and later developed weak feeling.
Many operators have been under the inn
preston that some of the large traders on
the bull side had been realizing for several
days, but were reluctant about selling
themselves on account of the uncertainty
OF the market; but today they took courage
when II was found that trade with some
parties on the long side would settle which
heretofore would not. Prices under the
pressure to sell declined 21sc below outside
| figures early In the day. From inside prices
! again rallied &C. fluctuated for some while
within &c range, and closed about &c
higher than yesterday.
There was only n moderate business re-
ported In corn, Transactions were largely
local and fluctuations limited TO &c range.
The feeling ON the whole was trille easier,
though values did not show much change
from yesterday.
An increased business was transacted in
oats at lower range OF prices. There was n
decided disposition on the part OF operators
10 sell several heavy traders taking an active
part ON that side. Buyers were Indifferent
about supporting the market until prices for
May had declined &c, whom they began bid
ding freely and stopped u further break
Around inside figures trading wa, heavy,
the shorts being free buyers. A rally Of
lac followed the depression, and the market
closed steady at net decline OF sc from
Mondays sales.
quite an active business was transacted in
hog product. AMI the feeling was unsettled.
The liberal receipts Ut hogs at lower prices
caused a weaker feeling, and the offerings on
speculative account was quite free. Prices
declined moderately, but the good demand
from the short interest aud from outside
parties checked the downward tendency
Trading during the latter part OF the session
was only moderate, and prices lluctuatcd
slightly within a small range, gradually al
yuncing 10 outside figures and closing firm.
The leading futures ranged Ms follows:

GENERAL TRADE.

The quotation lists Of the Merchants TX.
change remained unchanged today. Amount
Of grain in store at the elevators; corn SO,
lo5 bushels oats, $500 bushels; wheat i33
bushels
Tho Cincinnati Price Current states that
present indications point 10 n shortage in
the winter packing amounting to less than
0Oo,oOO hogs In number compared with last
year, but probably not less than $4,000 de-
crease. The gain IN average weight has
been large, and the percentage yield has been
? or per cent more than usual so that the
indications ARE that the actual manufacture
Of produc, will not fall greatly below last
year. although It is plain that the winter
season will close with smaller stocks than n
year ago, The average price of hog pro-
duct is now 20 per cent lower than n year
ago. The indications as to wants Of foreign
markets for our surplus are better than last
year, and this Is being reflected in the com
parntiycly active operations at this time Of
packers who cure largely for British markets.

TOic0'S Vailed Lake

Tho greatest wonder in the State OF
Iowa, and perhaps any State, is what is
called the walled Lake, in Wright
County, twelve miles north of the Du-
buqae and Pacific Railway, and $50
miles west of Dubuque CITY. The lake
Is from two to three feet higher than
the carth's surface. In some places tho
wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide
at the bottom, and five feet wide on
top The stoncs used in its construc
ton vary in weight from three tons
down to hundred pounds. There is
an abundance of stones in Wright
County, but surrounding the lake to tho
extent of five or ten miles there are
none. No ono can form an idea as to
the means employed to bring them to
the spot or who constructed it. Around
the entire lake is belt of woodland
half mile in width, composed of oak.
With this exception the country is a
rolling prairie. The trees must have
been planted there at the time of tho
building OF the wall. In the Spring Of
the year 1856 there was q great storm.
and the ice on the lake broke the wall
in several places, and the farmers in tho
vicinity were compelled to repair tho
damages to prevent inundation. The
lake occupies 4 surface of $500 acres.
depth OF water as great as twenty five
feet. The wator is clear and cold, soil
sandy and loamy. 1t is singu ar that
no one has been able to ascertain where
the water comes from nor where it goes.
yet it Ii alwaya clear and frosh.

In ono of the Twin lakes, few miles
east of Llkcvilic, Conn. lisa rock known
a' Moving Rock" II is close in shore
in about four feet of water, and rushcs
grow UP all around it, Fifteen years
ago this rock was far out in the lake.
and in size was nearly ten times as big
as it is to-day.
1t was noticed one spring fourteen
years ago that there was moro of the
rock out Of water tiian usual, and some
OF the inquisitive fishermen who then
ficQucntcd the lake tried to find tho
cause. They looked down into the
water and they could easily sec the
bottom. They also saw, much to their
astonlshmcnt, that there wa, deep
furrow in the yellow clay and that in
length it was ncar.y ten feet. The rock
seemed smooth and hard.
The next spring it had moved nearly
fifteen feet more toward the shore. and
the iurrow was plainly outlined Then
some one called the great boulder
showing Rock" and the name has
been associated with the curiosit les
Of the lake ever since. And each
spring since that time finds the rock
closer to the edge of the lake than if
was twelve months before.
A reporter was at the lake few davs
ago, and he made IN examination of
the rock. 1t is quite small now, but
bears all the evidences of the action of

ice when it breaks up each spring is
piled in tons upon the rock by the
north winds, which have a clean sweep
over the lake, and thus the rockA. is
driven closer and closer in toward the
bank.

Be not weary and snd honrtcn,
Wandering meath the ambient skies;
Mourn no longer hope, departed
With sad heart and fearful eyes:
Tho each henrt may know its sorrow
AS through life we're jo rncying.
Know you not that each new morrow
May sweet pleasures to you bring?
SEQ you mc1dows all a-slowing,
Natures beauties rici and fair,
God in gracious love be,towing

Herr the woodland birds declaring
Raptrously their joy i'll him,
While thou sadly on art farng
AS through deserts wild and dim.
Why should GHOSTS of memory haunt thee
Tho thou maycst have done wrong.
Fear and sorrow need not daant thee
Ina w. rcpentlnt song.
Ear above thee, brightly Cleaning,
Sec the star Of JOY arise,
Gently DER Thy pathway bcamns-
Walk no NOR. with lOwncast eyes.

Thou vert made rs thou should b.;

In clear words of melody:

Look up TO the ioy-star shining,
