Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. n.-Wheat opened dull
and weak, but turned strong soon after,
selling up 12c. The early depression was on
the weak cables, the big shipments from
exporting countries, the liberal deliveries in
the Northwest, the rather bearish govern
ment report, making the area of winter
wheat sown 100000 acres larger than the
area harvested last summer, and the free
selling by Partridge, Baldwin-Farnum and
others made the feeling very weak for a
time. Brosseau and Logan were good buy
ers on the early decline, and for a time took
about all that was offered and this did
much to turn the tide The advance which
followed was not fully sustained, but up
to noon there had been no important break.
May opened at 59hc, sold at SOC, up to 591b0
bSfsc split. and at noon was $3.50 bid. The
market was stronger during the last hour
mainly on Bradstreet's report of 1,735, 900
gu decrease in the worlds stocks and
cables were also better May sold up to
59alc, but eased off to $3.50.
Corn ruled firm, but there was but little
business. The local receipts were not so
large as expected, and the better feeling
an wheat with the light estimate for to-
morrow, were the chief causes of strength.
May sold at 49sl assoc, and at noon 1880
was bid
Oats We're quiet and featureless. May
sold at 32asM32s4c, and at noon was 3224c
Hog products slow and with very little

COsSACKs ON HORSEBACK.
Only u Few of Them Are AcrObatic
Cavalry meM.

The principal exercises in which the Cos
sacks excel reminded me very much of
what I was familiar with at West Point
when the boys were free to indulge their
taste for gymnastics horseback Our
cadets, at least large proportion of every
class, quite clever with their horses
as the average Cossack. l have seen them
stand on the horses back and gallon in
that position, vault in and out of the saddle
while the horse is galloping, reach down
and pick up objects from the ground, leap
hurdles with the horse, alighting from the
animal just before the hurdle is touched,
and vaulting into the saddle as the horse
clears the obstacle. / have also seen our
West Pointers change horses while at full
gallop, or one take the other behind him.
All these exercises 1 have seen done not
merely with the saddle, but without; and
not merely in the riding school, but while
riding out on the country roads,
These are the exercises in which the
Cossack chiefly excels, and, it may be
added in parenthesis, that the horse of
the average COssack resembles in many
respects the degenerate beast which the
government places at the disposition of
the United States military academy. The
Cossack learns these tricks as a boy when
he is allowed with his mates to ride the
horses bareback to water, and incidentally
is encouraged to indulge in every manner
of sport on the way. He is encouraged,
also, to persevere in exercises of this kind
and to be prepared to make an exhibition
of himself when as a soldier he is garri-
soned in towns, where such exercises
smack of the circus Father than of the
barrack yard. The Cossack is so often
pictured in the act of Doing daring things
with his horse that it has become COM
mon to think that all .Cossacks are up to
this work AS ma tier Of fact, it is only
small and select nortion that keep up
these exercises, and these are embodied in
a special section of the catalry regiment,
designated "Dshigts. 'ueThe Russ an regu-
atoms of war orderd thesyencouragem
of these acrobatic cavarymen particular
ly when they indulge in any exercises
which may be turned to practical account
in war. as, for instance feaping over an
obstacle and firing at the same time or
compelling the horse to stop suddenly and
fall to the ground sd THAT it's body may
be a breastwork behind which the trooper
may shelter himself p i

We are overwhelmed with such
masses OF postage stamps, which we
can not sell or use, that we ask our
good friends, wherever possible, to re-
nit in something else. Twenty-Five
cent silver pieces, or fifty cent ones,
come in envelopes all right. We have
never lost letter or dollar sent to

Grain Statistics.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1e.-Returns to
the statistical department of the department of
agriculture for the month of December relate
principally to the average farm price of the
various agricultural products on the first day of
the month. BY farm price is meant the price Of
producing at the farm or the nearest local or
railway market. In comparison of these prices
with commercial quotations. allowance must be
made for cost Of handling, transportation, pro-
fits of dealers, etc.
The farm price of corn averaged 456 cents per
bushel, which is 81 cents higher than the cor
responding price Of last year, which was se.5
cents per bushel. This price is sac per bushe
higher than the average price for the decade 1880
to 1882 and is just 4c higher than the average
for the four years 1890 to 1888 The average price
OF wheat is a. SC per bushel, the lowest price in
the past Is years. This price is 33.sc less than
the average for the ten years 1880 to 1889. and
z21c less than the average for the four years
1880 to 1893. The returns make the general price
