10 $500. now.
The number of houses to be built this
spring and summer will run up into 1, 900.

to be completed before the 1st of August.

OPERATORS UNDECIDED.

CHICAGO, May 10.-The record of the
week on change was kept up this morn
ing and all markets opened nervous and
excited. with prices in all grain pits
sharply advanced from the close yes
terday. The gains over night in prices
for July were: Wheat, 119c; corn. re;
oats, PC. In both wheat and corn prices
moved up still further, but all markets
were either raided or showed weakness
before the end of the hour. There was
but one feature to the news -uncer-
tainty as to what the government crop
figures might be Of winter wheat and
the acreage of spring. For week past
the expectation of very bullish news
from Washington has caused more
than one bulge i'll prices. To-
day. as the time of the report
approached. the strain became more
intense and all else was forgotten.
Crop Export Prime was on the floor
and gave his belief that the Dodge
figures would show condition OF
about 7Sc for winter wheat against Sic
April 10. But whatever was given out
was entirely conjectured, and each
trader acted rs erratic as if he feared
the result whether he bought OF sold.
The market started with great rush
and the greatest strength of the day
with July wheat at 9524@96c the first
minute. There was a slight drop to
0515c, rally to 96c, and on general
raid led by Baldwin and Farnum the
price went off to 94Lc. There was a
rally to 94$lc, then decline to 94c,
another rally to 94}sc. and just before
O'clock drop to 93115c, the low point
of the day up TO that hour. Part of the
downward tendency was due to the
raiding, but the delicacy of the sup
port on the breaks indicated q
change of sentiment from the opening.
There was great deal of unloading of
! long wheat Oh each break and heavy
selling of short by the bears. The mar
ket was simply demoraized. During
the last fifteen minutes there was a
great rush to cover short sales, and the
market closed strong at 945sc, a re-
coyery of lie from the bottom. After
the close of the regular board wheat
spectators went clean daft" The
regular market had SC rcely closed
when from 943sc July wheat mounted
| to 9511Ic, and the wild uncertainty re-
garding the government report is
wildly illustrated by the range in
privileges for Monday. Puts sold all
the way from SOC to Ole, and calls
from sl.O2 to Sl.O4 On July wheat.
Baldwin sold calls on many millions
of July corn at 35115c. Puts ranged from
349501347sc. The wet weather, which
will interfere little with the market
ing and grading of corn, caused higher
| prices at the beginning of business this
morning. The strenth did not last.
Elevator men were selling not only the
far futures, but May as well. Armour.
| Baldwin, and also number of receiv-
ing firms, were heavy sellers. July
opened at 351lc, but sold off to 34$4c.
May oats started in at 2Sc, sold to 291zc,
and afterward gradually eased down to
274c. There was very little trading in
them. July oats opened at 26e, sold to
2615c, and afterward sold off to 25sic.
| Provisions were dull from first to last.
Receipts of hogs were 5000 head below
! the estimates, but the shortage had no
visible effect on values Of product.
The leading futures ranged at follows:

THREsHING in SYRIA.
The Same Is Done Now as Was
Centuries Ago.

Centuries Ago.
From Blackwoods Magazine.
On the outskirts Of each village is a
level space of ground of sufficient size
to answer the requirements of the viii
lage, which il known by the name of
the bayader, or threshlng floor. Each
farmer and peasant has his own particu-
lar position marked off by row of
stones, and this portion is religiOuSlV
handed down from father to son and
jealously guarded from encroachment.
Hither the various crops are borne as
soon as they are reaped in the fields,
and they are there piled up into separate
stacks to be threshed out in turns.
The threshing is long and tedious
process, occupying several months. 1t
commences about the beginning of June
and often is not completed till the end
of September, or even in some cases
till the middle of October. During all
this time the threshing floor presents
lively, busy and most picturesque scene.
The process is very primitive one,
being identical with that which was IN
vogue in the times of Old Testament
history. Nay, the hieroglyphic repre-
sentations on Egyptian monuments
show that the same method was
adopted Dy the farmers OF EgYpC
at least 5000 years ago. A fiat board,
something like the bottom of sleigh.
with small, sharp pieces of Dasalt firmly
let into its under sides, is driven round
and round upon the surface of the corn,
which is spread out in circle of from
six to twenty yards in diameter, accord
ing to the quantity to be threshed. A
boy rides OIL the board and drives the
horse or oxen as the case may be- Mean
while one or two men stand in the mid
die. and with three pronged wooden
forks turn the corn over so as to expose
all portions equally to the action of the
threshing board.
