Figures, but Quotations Are Lower.
CHICAGO-The wheat market was un-
usually settled to-day, due, however, not SO
much to external influences and reports as
TO blunders of one of the posting clerks.
After the various bull and bear reports had
been coming in for some time and exerting
their contradictory influences, some Russian
crop figures purporting to come from an
English journal. were posted. To the sur
prise of all these figures showed the Russian
crop of wheat, with other cereals, to be
largely in excess of last years crops.
For few minutes everybody seemed to
want to sell at once, and, of course, sharp
break in prces followed, the market de-
clining 1as@l5sc, or to the lowest point in the
day. A second calculation showed that the
figures at first presented were wrong,
making the yields smaller all around than
decline followed. English cables we're
stronger, Liverpool being quoted L@1ad
higher and London unchanged. Continental
markets were weaker, Berlin being lN@l%
per bushel lower and Antwerp 1ssc per
bushel lower Nothing definite was heard
regarding the Russian ukase, some advices
stating that it might go into effect Monday
and others stated tonight.
The opening was 34Dlc higher than the
closing figures of yesterday, but immedi-
ntely weakened and declined &c; then raj
lied slightly about &c, but again declined,
this time l2s@I5sc: then rallied, nc weaker,
and closed about 5ssc lower for May than yes
terday's closing.
November corn. which opened at 52llc,
and sold as low as 5O1ac, closed at 511sc, or
Ic lower than on the previous day. Year,
which closed yesterday at 45c. rested to-day
at 43sc, and May closed at 4255sc, compared
with 4Sc yesterday.
Oats opened firm and 5000 higher,
through sympathy with wheat and corn,
but made decline of H@A cents on Secre-
tary Stones mistake in reducing the Rus
sian crop. The market struck bottom at
3Oi &c for December, and 3l5E@3l3Ic :or May.
The opening prices were 305lc and 321sc re-
spectively. There was reaction from the
low point to 3015c for December and 32@321ac
for May. caused by the posting Of the cor
rected Russian report and some of the early
sellers buying in. The market closed steady
at 3015c for December. and 3lK@032c for May.
Trading was without particular feature in
the provision pit, and prices were without
much change. The market was easier in
sympathy with the decline in wheat and
corn, but recovered some toward the end
and left Off at q slight Improvement in yes
tcrday's final quotations. December pork
declined to So As and closed ut $s so: January
opened at $I1 35-and closed at 81 371@. Lard
closed 21Sc above the prices ut the CORE
spending time yesterday, and ribs are with
out change.

PATTERNED AFTER PITTsBURG.
Two Large Cities Have Already Adopted
Our Fire Alarm Method.

The superiority of Pittsburg's new fire
alarm system is being shown every day. The
claim OF Superintendent Morris Mead that
it is the best equipment in the country has
been borne out by statements of competent
electricians who have come here to inspect
it. Brooklyn has already followed Super
intendent Mead's plan in constructing a
new system there. Boston now comes SINH
larly to the front.
''Boston's proposed new system will be
almost exactly pattern of ours" said
Superintendent Mead yesterday. ''The
only material difference will be in having
several central offices in different parts of
the city. In a place so large as Boston this
is necessary so as to simplify matters. 1t
would be necessary here also if Allegheny
and other places about us were part Of the
city," 'rGAa

NEW York. Nov. 13.-There was some fair
sized transactions in plain cotton to-day for
future delivery, and the demand seems to
be widening out. There was litt,e flrmer
feeling. The production is already curtailed.
The great carpet sale closed to-day, having
been in progress four days. The quantity of
carpet and 1000 bales of rugs, the total real
lied being about 81 100000. 1t was a remark
able sale in that three times the goods ad-

Trade in this line is absolutely featureless
and has been so for a week or more. The
movement is slow, Sugars and coffees are

ing vessel, carrying thirty-two hands.
After many experiences in thespe whale
line, he was with the Falcon in 1886 Che be-
ing then twenty years old) when she was
wrecked on one of the Caroline islands
The details of the long contest between the
seamen and the natives are terrible; the
captain, mate and several others were
killed, but Mann and the remainder escaped
to adjacent islands.
A British man-of-war opportunely ar
rived, took signal vengeance on the natives
and rescued all the sailors but Mann and
three others, who were on a remote island
and were not found. There the four men
lived as savages for two years, using cocoa
nut leaves for clothing and the nut for
food, till the natives found them. One
was killed, and Mann received a slash
across the face and neck which would have
killed most men, and had two fingers cut
off. Being left for dead, the other two
sailors, who had escaped rescued and re-
stored him, setting his broken jaw in rude
fashion. At lastan American whaler picked
them up, and when he reached regular
surgeon Nann's face was partially restored,
though one tooth stuck through his cheek.
Thereafter he engaged in every sort of
venture to all ports of the Pacific till age
rendered him unable to work, and the
British residents of Hong Kong sent him
home. Strangely enough, the papers of
the murdered captain of the Falcon were
available to corroborate part of his story,
and relatives learned for the first time the
fate of the four lost seamen.
