65 Cents in Mess Pork.

CHICAGO, Oct 10.-The increasing stocks
of wheat, exceeding expectations, weighed
down prices to-dhy for that cereal, while corn
was advancing as a result of comparatively
small receipts and the big movement from
here. Provisions ruled strong for January
and weak for October delivery. AT the close
wheat was 12c lower and corn Ssc higher.
Oats gained about nc.
Wheat started 1ac lower, held steady for
awhile and later declined 1.Gfsc more, then
was quiet and the closing was about sSc
lower for December and sc lower for May
than the closing figures Saturday. The re-
ceipts in the Northwest were heavy and the
export clearances light The quality Of
wheat and flour on ocean passage decreased
10000 bushels and the eastern European
and Indian shipments were $4,000 bushels
smaller than the preceding week. Cables
were easier and generally lower. The
weather was fine and the influences gener-
ally were of an unfavorable tone. Operators
did not manifest much inclination to trade,
evidently holding off for the government
crop report.
There was good trade in corn. The bet
ter tone was due largely to the decrease
In local stocks last week and the active cash
demand. The market opened at Saturday s
closing prices. and worked up a full cent
under a good demand, reacting &c later,
rallied A@3sc, changed some, ruled steady,

was considerable uneasiness regarding the
government report.
Oats advanced 1kc in sympathy with corn.
Later weakness developed, and prices re-
coded A@ssc, and the market closed steady,
net gain of 1sGAc
There was a moderately active trade in
provisions for an hour or so after the open
ing and at better than Saturdays prices,
owing to continued light receipts of hogs.
Later the business relapsed into its pre-
holiday dullneSS. There was some weakness
in spot products and for October delivery.
Prices at the close showed some decline,
more especially for pork, which Is Csc lower.
October lard is Csc lower and January Ooc

1t is commonly supposed that heavy

ground from warming up so rapidly. will
retard poisoning in the spring and be a

perience OF careful experimenters shows
this TO be a fallacy. The temperature in
which the branches and buds are placed
seems to influence the blossoming more
than the temperature of the ground in

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-The total attendance

silenced the critics Of ST. Louis's ancient

and at the hotels nothing else was talked

attendance, but in no case were the figures
higher than 10000. St Louis takes to her
self share of the glory. as one newspaper
declares that no less than 10000 OF the 49,
600 were from this city and its suburbs.
This has started anew the mooted project
to hold worlds fair In St. Louis on the
centennial anniversary Of the Louisiana

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1o.-The dry-goods
market continues quiet in the main, with
some departments positively dull. More or
less irregularity continued as the result
of uneven assortments and the hand-to
mouth habit of buyers. Interviews with the
leading people in the dry-goods trade give
no promise of an Improvement in the vol
ume of business until there shall have been
some definite action by the Senate on the
silver repeal bill and some assurance that
tariff relations will not be disturbed.
Stocks are not large at this point, and it
is pretty generally understood that the
conservatism of country buyers has led to
pretty much the same condition through
out the country. There is no pressure to
sell, and the market just drags. Cotton
goods are readily held. Printing cloths
have not changed for week. and rule
dull. Prints and printed fabrics are. in
fair demand especially the fancies. Cling
hams and woven goods hold their own as
to price. but new orders are coming in
slowly. Dress goods and woolepS are dull,
except the most seasonable lines, and only
small orders reach them. Foreign dry goods
are dull from top to bottom. The jobbing
trade is moderately active on orders
through the mails and statesmen on the
roedo are doing fairly and reporting col
lections good, but resident buyers are doing
as little possible.

Eat Bananas and Turn Brunette.

Those who eat heartily Of bananas may
run some risk Of becoming tawny OF
copper colored. This may be inferred
possibly from the peculiarities of plum.
age in the turacos of Africa. AS lone
as the weather is dry these birds are gay,
the primary and secondary feathers be-
ing gorgeously crimson, but when rain
comes the color is washed out, and the
birds seem to be Inundated and ashamed
at the transformatio But the color
returns in dry weather. The cause of
the coloration has been traced to copper
in very pure state. A single feather
burned gives the characteristic indica-
ton. The source Of the turacin has now
beer traced to bananas, on which the
turacos feed chiefly. All the aborigines
who make bananas a diet are very deep
ly tinted, but the color is sooty rather
than red. The North American Indian
cannot owe his coppery hue to bananas.
He has only known Of this fruit on reser-
vations and chiefly by the peelings.-

Making Marble Ont of Chalk.

In nature marble is made out of chalk
by water, which percolates through the
chaiky deposits, dissolves the chalk par
ticle by particle'and crystallizes it, noun
tain pressure solidifying it. It has been
found that similar results may be ac-
complished by chemical means First,
slices of chalk are dipped in color
bath. staining them with tints that will
initiate any kind Of marble known. For
this purpose the same mineral stains are
used as are employed in nature. For
example, to produce counterfeit verde
antique oxide Of copper is utilized. In
like manner green, pink. black and other
colorings are obtained. Next, the chalk
;lices go into another bath. by which
hey are hardened and CRY allied, COM
e out to all intents and purposes real.
