may regard the differences indicated by
the figures as practically due to the

Now, there Is no apparent reason why
girls should not inherit tendency to

fish which feeds on the succulent stems

fish which feeds on the succulent stems
of the swamp grass growing in tho
shadows. They were gliding poiseless-
~ down stream with barbed fishing
spears poised ready for throw, when
suddenly large slender canoe shot out
from the bank, where it had been con-
cealed in the long grass The tribal
occupants, at once warned Nkusu that
these men were his natural enemies,
the crafty Balui, a nation of ruthless
cannibals, dreaded throughout the
whole land as pirates and brigands.
The old chief and his companion real
lied at once that escape by fight was
impossible from such a wsll-armed
craft and it seemed hopeless task to
beat off such odds, but in spite Of the
forbidding aspect the two were not to be
terrified into unresisting submission.
In a few seconds the current had
swept the canoes into actual collision
and the Balui yelled with heartless de-
light at the prospect of overcoming
their two enemies. Nkusu and the
young slave were determined to sell
their lives dearly. and hastily snatch
ing up their shields and spears they
commenced fierce fight A shower of
spears flung at close quarters with
deadly aim cut down two of the Balui.
The first, stabbed to the heart with
glistening spear poiut. sprang into the
air and tumbled ifeless into the stream;
the second, fatally wounded, lay with
ing in the bottom of the dugout When
the stock of spears had all been hurled,
knives were unsheathed and the mad
dened co1nbatants grappled and con-
tinued the contest hand to hand. In
the midst Of the fierce fight one of the
Balui jumped heavily on the side Of
Nkusu's canoe and held the gunwale
under till it swamped. and its occupants
were thrown into the water. The old
chief, feeling his canoe sinking, grabbed
his enemy fercely and the two tumbled
into the stream together and continued
to hack away savagely with their
blades. Nkusu, badly wounded, was
fast losing his strength, 50. purposely
dropping his knife, he clutched his
enemy around the neck and the two,
locked in the unyielding grip OF the
dying man. sank to rise no more.
Tchecheri, precipitated into the
stream, was utterly helpless against
the two burly ssva~es following him in
their canoe. He was soon captured,
dragged out of the water and thrown
into the bottom of their dugout, and
the two Balui padded ashore, suilenly
furious at their loss
Upon reaching the village with the
news of their own great loss, the ma
tives, maddened at their friends defeat,
clamored for Tchecheri's death without
delay. Knives were drawn and spears
were uplifted eager TO dispatch the IN
fortunate prisoner. but the chief. NgiIa

CHICAGO, Feb. l0.-The shorts in
provisions are getting severely pinched.
The demand from them today was eX-
citedly brisk. The clique has been
gradually Tightening its grip, and now
appears to have all the product under
complete control. The high prices
which ruled early in the season on the
scarcity of hogs tempted large amount
of short selling. May pork, which was
sold a few months ago at So, sold today
at $2O.111s. May lard, which was
s. not many months ago, was up
to Sl2.12 today, and May ribs have
sold to Sl0.45. Prices t1uctuated wildly
at times during the session, but the
close was very near to the top prices of
the day. 1t is said that the clique still
has 90. 600 Iierces of lard unsettled, with
less than 1000 in stock. and talk OF Sl5
is heard on every hand. These $4,000
tierccs, it is runored, would net the
CLIQUE, even at present prices, fully SO
per tierce, OF $3.50 coo. Considerable in
tereSt was manifested i'll what light the
government report OH farm animals
would shed on the hog situation. Com
pared with last night, lard closed 45c
higher. pork 25c and ribs 2213c. Wheat
shows gain of 3s@$lc. Corn and oats
are a shade lower.
The cold wave which was booked for
this morning did not matprialiZe, and it
was said to be thaWing in the South
west, but as the signal service sent out
a prediction of another cold snap an
other freeze-up was feared, and weak
ness in wheat was quickly worked. St.
Louis had buying orders here today,
and was apparently making every eff
fort to convince the trade that the fear
of crOp damage was sincere and well
founded. The market at the opening
was about the same to 15@4c higher
than yesterdays closing. Dnt receded

DUN'S REVIEW.
1--we Powerful But opposing In
Assences Ola the Markets.

New YORK, Feb. 10.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of the trade. says:
Two important events, the defeat of
anti-silver legislation in the senate and
house and the concerted deposit of gold
by New York banks in the treasury in
exchange for legal tenders have directly
opposing but powerful influence upon
the markets, and 1t is yet too early to
determine what the net result may be.
Strong orders for dry goods are
large at Chicago. but severe weather
interferes with business and delays
construction work. Money is
in good demand, but the return Of cur
rency is slow. Receipts show increase
of Is per cent in butter, Is in barley, %
in sheep. % in corn. 10 in cheese, liz in
wheat and 100 in cured meats, compared
with last year, but decrease of 10 per
cent in cattle, II in flour, Is in hides, %
in rye. 70 in hogs. 80 in dressed beef, 80
in wool and 95 in pork. Trade is very
active at Milwaukee. Storms retard
business and collections at Minneapolis
and ST. Paul. but the flour trade in tine
above city is active.
Speculative markets have been quite
irregular. The anti-option bill still
alarms some, while the vote in The
house leads others TO believe it will not
become a law. Pork products show
greater strength and have further ad-
vanced. supplies Of hogs being very
small. Coffee has been strong, advanc-
ing a quarter, with moderate sales.
Wheat has risen 1Hc, with small trans
actions. Western receipts being re-
tarded by storms while Atlantic exports
of wheat were 100000 bu, but there is
nothing to indicate that the unsold sur
plus at the end of the year will be small.
Exports are improving little, but the
outgo OF $4,000.000 gold exported this
week is nearest to trade balances. If
the tentative action OF strong banks
does not check the movement, further
measures by the clearing house are con-
templated for prevention of disturb
ance. The treasury has not been losing
gold, and the soundest men feel that
the treasury and banks operating in
harmony should be abundantly able to
meet difficulties until the new admin
istration makes known its policy. The
business failures during the last seven
days number 266. as compared with
totals of 3o1 last week. For the cor
responding week OF last year the figures
