Bradley's earliest schooling was that of
the country teacher. He worked in the
Summer and went to school in the win
ter until he was sixteen, and after this
he taught country school and practised
surveying. His ambition to be great
sprouted with his being, and story is
told at Albany how a citizen of that
place when young Bradley was doing
some rather mental work for him asked
him what he intended to do in life. The
teens. He was backward with his
answer and said that he hadn't
quite made up his mind whether
he would be the president of the
United States or a judge of the supreme
court. This interested his employer
and he talked further with the boy. He
found him wonderfully well informed,
and he urged him by all means to get
college education if possible. Judge
Bradley saved enough from his country
school teaching to send himself to col
lege, and he graduated at Rutgers in
1886 at the age of twenty-three. He
practised law at Newark, n. j., for
thirty years before he went upon the
bench, and he has been serving as
supreme court justice tor twenty years.
His decisions appear in forty volumes
of the supreme court. and he has most
wonderful knowledge of English and
American decisions. Justice Bradley has
a remarkably analytical mind, and he is
one Of the most skillful mathematicians
of the present day. He amuses himself
in working out geometric problems for
recreation, and he delights in getting
up calendars showing at what hour the
moon will rise on January or February

CHICAGO Feb. 1.-The wheat market was
narrow again to-day. The opening was
quite firm. and, on the strength of fair ex-
port clearances, there was slight gain. This
did not hold, however, and heavy selling by
the same clique in this market caused prices
to drop back to last nights figures. The de-
Hveries this morning were very light-said to
be less than 30, 900 bushels Liverpool sent
bearish cables with spot wheat lower. At
the close Liverpool quoted spot " penny
lower. There was some fair outside bull
news Export clearances of wheat and
flour from the three Atlantic ports were
about 100000. Liverpool decreased its
stock of wheat $4,000 bushels for the
month and only increased in flour 5000
sacks. Stocks in country elevators III the
Northwest are now $500, 900 bushels or
over 100000 decrease. May wheat opened
at 7Ss4c here and held at 7s7sc for some time
with liberal offerings. Later Partridge sold
heavily, and May yielded to 7SI2@7s
Asc, and after slight rally dropped back to
Tsl2c. July sold at 774c and off to 76s4c.
Receipts here were fifty-fve cars, with
twenty-three cars No. 2. Wheat closed
heavy at the bottom prices of the day for all
futures. Deliveries on February contracts
were light. Less than 900 by wheat
wentround. Deliveries of corn were 5O,,-
600 bu; pork, 1000 to 3. 600 bbls, and lard
5000 TO $4,000 tres Receipts were 10
cars winter wheat, So ears spring. 177 cars
corn, and $50 cars oats. Withdrawals from

the close. Provisions opened easier, but i'm

last half century. He is a man
of great scholarship, and the
record of his life is more that of
scholar than that of politician. He
was professor of law at the University
of Oxford, Mississippi, in 1871, and his
stock of classical learning is very great.
He is an admirer of Plato, and can
quote from Thuycidides, Herodotus and
Livy. His favOrite poets are Shelley
and Keats, and he is very fond of quot
ing poetry in private conversation with
lovers of the poets. He was married
again about three years ago, and
his last wife was well to do.
Justice Lamar himself is worth
less than $4,000. He has farm
in Mississippi upon which there are
many fine Jersey cattle, and up to his
appointment as justice he liked nothing
better than mis- Mississippi home. Now,
however, he finds it impossible to pay
much attention TO it. and l understand
that he would sell it if he could. He is
already siXty-five years of age. His
place upon the bench gives him a resi-
dence at Washington for a number of
years. He has house here ON Massa-
chusettS avenue, and the $4,000 which
he gets from the government moves
him further away from Mississippi than
he has ever been before.

The stock market was dull to-day. but in
the matter of business compared favorablv

slow hardening of values. The bears

ance association being in trouble. but no con-
frmation of the report was had and it OBJ
tanned little credence and had no appreciate
