THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs. &C


The Cincinnati Price Current of February
22nd says: =
The past week has been one of variable
weather again, but the advices from wheat crop
regions are chiefly of favorable and encour-
aging nature, and embrace but little of COM
plant with reference to injury to the crop up
to date, but something of conjecture or ap-
prehension as to conditions liable to be expe-
rienced within the next month.
As small as the recent marketing of wheat
has recently been in winter grain sections the
indications are that farmers are less freely in
clined to sell, and that some reduction in the
movement in such regions is probable.
The wheat markets have been further de-
pressed the past week, the May delivery at
Chicago settling to 573 cents. There has been
some reaction, but sentiment of doubt per-
vades the trade quite generally as to there be-
ing any shaping to an advancing tendency
| yet.
The recent weakness in the wheat markets
is believed to be partially if not considerably
due to dlsappointments growing out of the
evidences that the late Government estimate
OF the 1898 crop was seriously deceptive.
The corn movement has been somewhat re-
duc9d. This grain has held pretty steadily
during the week and would likely respond
quickly to any betterment in the wheat mar
ket.
May wheat at Chicago closed &c below
the highest point of the week, q above the
lowest point, and &c lower than a week ago.
Corn at Chicago for May closed &c be-
low the highest point of the week, &c above the
lowest point and the same as a week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were l.
S41 900 bushels for the week, against 2304, 900
the preceding week, and 2,82S, 600 last year.
Corn receipts were 3,172OOO bushels, against
4, $4,000 the preceding week. and $685. 900
last year"

rux poIr.N OF crsARErrEs.

The use Of cigarettes is not merely
the use Of tobacco, it is a vice itself.
In reformatories where the cure Of the
opium, alcohol and cigarette habits is
a business, cigarette patients are not
restricted from smoking cigars or pipes
which are regarded as comparatively
harmless. The cigarette works a spe-
cial evil Of its own which tobacco in
other forms does not effect. This evil
result may be due to drugs, or to the
paper wrappers. Or to the fact that the
smoke Of cigarettes is almost always
inhaled into the lungs, while cigar
smoke is not. As to that. let the experts
decide about the fact OF the effect there
is no doubt and no dearth Of evidence.
No other form of tobacco eats into the
will as cigarettes do. The adult man
can carry off a good deal Of poison OF
one kind or another without disaster,
and his duty being fixed and his will
formed, he is usually able to make his
minor vices subservient to his
more important obligations. And so
it happens that it is a matter OF con-
slant observation in clubs, and when
yer there are intelligent men who al
low themselves all the creature indul-
gences that they dare, that these ex-
perienced persons are constantly
Swearing off" cigarettes for longer or
shorter periods, and smoking cigars in

boys do not do that. They have not
discretion enough, for one thing, and,
for another, cigars cost too much for
them, and ear not be smoked surrep-
titiously in every spare moment. 1t is
the internal cheapness OF the cigarette
and its adaptability for concealment
that tempt the schoolboy's callow in
telligence.-Harper's Weekly.

reduce the stimulating oxygen and fall

asleep you are sure to disturb the
coverings and get as much fresh air as
you require, or, when once drowsiness
has been produced, it is easy to go on

A Family of Freaks,

Jason Hires, who died recently at
Munsons, Pa, was widely known as
the father OF the oldest family oil
children under the sun. The eldest, a
boy OF Is, has I3 fingers and IL toes.
Next to him is another boy, 16 years
old. As long as this boy is quiet, no
one would suppose that there was any
thing unusual about him, but the
moment he opens his mouth to talk he
loses all control of his hands, arms,
feet and legs, and they jerk and thrash
and kick around as if they were hung
on wires. The third child is a girl,
who is a hunchback and a dwarf. She
is IA years old. A boy next to her is
deaf and dumb. The fifth child has a
bright-red birth mark encircling her
neck like a strip Of flannel. 1t is an
inch wide. The other two children
are twins, 2 years old-a boy and a
girl. The boys head is covered with
a dense growth Of hair, while the girl
has not the sign OF a hair upon her
head, her poll being as white, bare
and shiny as a billiard ball. The girl
is fat and the boy lean. When the
boy cries the girl laughs heartily, and
when his little sister is merry the boy
yells and sheds tears.

The San Francisco Bulletin an
nounces the arrival at the Midwinter
fair OF VIM. Weaver OF Durbin, North
Dakota, with a small herd of ''cattleo."
These animals are the progeny of a
buffalo and polled Angus COW. The
cross is an animal larger than the
buffalo, and the skins are much su-
perior to those OF the full blood buffalo,
the fur being finer and longer and OF
the uniform seal brown color. They are
worth from 800 to $3.50 apiece. The
meat is at least 80 per cent finer than
buffalo, too, partaking of the native
wildness OF that animal and the high
blood Of the polled cattle.
