BULLS AND BEARS.

The bulls and bears continue to
fight their never ending battles over
the market for farm produce. So
powerful are these contending parties
that their transactions on the long and
short side of the market moves prices
up and down increasingly. Yet how
little understood are the terms, "longs
and shorts" and "bulls and bears"
First and always, a bull is one who
wishes the market to advance and
works to that end. A man may be a
bull on wheat, on cotton, on cattle, on
railroad securities, on real estate, on
any property. He is usually a bull
through prediction or sympathy. In
studying market conditions governing
wheat for example, he is always seek
ing reasons why wheat should ad-
vance. He is not nearly so sanguine
of bumper crop as is his neighbor,
and is always looking for disaster
which will cut it down. The bull is
an optimist so far as the prospective
foreign demand is concerned, and be-
lieves so great will prove the exports
that there will be scarcely enough to
60 around and prices must perforce
advance. He can discern such 4
shortage in the probable quantity
held by farmers that he maintains
millers must sweep the corners of
their bins in order to get enough
wheat to grind into flour to supply
home consumption and export orders.
With such leaning the bull eagerly
grasps every item of news and buys
with the intention of holding until
there is a good profit in sight. This
bull is then "long" the market. The
only way for a ''long" to realize a
profit on his purchase is by an ad-
vance in price over that originally
paid, when he sells out at the right
time, if sufficiently shrewd.
A bear is exactly the opposite of a
bull. He believes the price of cotton,
as an illustration, too high and thinks
he sees many reasons why it is bound
to sell lower. Now, how does bear

LOADING AN OCEAN LINER.
The Storage is Something Tremendous and
REQUIRES Careful Packing.

The Storage is Something Tremendous and
Requires Careful Packing.
To watch the loading of grain, eth
er from an elevator or a lighter, into
one of the mammoth vessels engaged
in its transportation, is to witness one
of the chief operations in the move
ment of the worlds commerce. 1t is
carried in long pipes, with a funnel
shaped movable apendage at the end,
which is shifted by means of rope
from one part Of the hold to another,
according as the stream of grain fills
up the space reserved for it. The
grain flows into the vessel with a
noise and velocity of a torrent, and
sends a dense volume of dust and chaff
upword, obscurihg the depths beneath
and making the men in the storage be-
low look like ghosts in the rising
mist.
The trimming" of the grain in the
holds is an important part of the stor-
age. After several thousand bushels
have been streamed into the hold, a
dozen or more men are delegated to
shovel the downpouring column in be-
tween the vessels beams, a job for
which they are paid at the rate of a
cent minute. In vessels Of the Cum
ard stripe it takes between $4,000 and
Is 900 bushels to fill hold, and these
vessels average $4,000 bushels in the
total cargo. Ships carrying grain
alone can take as high as 125,000
bushels, and when it is considered that
from 1000 to 1000 bushels can be
stored in an hour, every 40 bushels
weighing ton, an idea can be had OF
the force of the torrent directed into
the vessel.
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and distinction is made in storing the
cargo in them. Grain, from its com
pact and dead weight, is reserved
mostly for the centre of the vessel,
while cured provisions are packed as
far forward and as far aft as possible,
for their better preservation from the
heat of the ships fires. In some YES
sells, like the great Cunarders, which
carry passengers as we'll as freight,
the heaviest weight is stored in the
lowest hold; in the technical parlance
of the stevedore, "stifening" the ship.
1t takes about 800 tons to "stiften"
great Cunarder, and when this is done
the lower hold is fastened and batten-
ed down and work is begun on the
next.-Donahoe's Magazine.
