CHICAGO 'uHANGE.

CHICAGO. Jan. 25.-Rumors of impending trouble, which were indefinite in their tenor and proved unimportant when actually nounced, and reports of large failure 1n the Russian grain trade at Odessa gave 10 the wheat market this morning nervous and un- settled feeling. When business began prices had net recovered an earlier loss which they suffered on the curb. Several Of the big slorts consd cred the time opportune for con. verting $ paper profits into actual ones. and their buying impaired tirmer feeling. When the failure of Ailliam Young Co.'S we'll known and formerly influential firm became known there was free selling, which gave val ues another Llow and marked another tow record. May wheat opened at 533s 53ac, sold between 54A 54ss and 53Ssc, closing at 534s 53ac. l204sc lower than yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and l2c per bushel lower.
 Corn-The uneasy condition of wheat had a decided dampening effect on corn at the be- ginning of the session, but the subsequent rally in the leading grain and good inquiry for cash corn overcane the depression. The iuil complement of strength was not main tained through out, but recessions were only fractional, the prices not sustaining any loss from yesterday May corn opened at 156 i5Ac, sold between 45 and 45S4n45Sc, clos ing at 45l2c, unchanged from yesterday Cash corn was A@lge per Dushel higher than yes- terday.
 Oats-The fluctuations in oats were very much similar to those of corn. The cash mar ket was still firm, the demand in that branch of trade keeping up. and sellers being able to obtain from 10 i2o advance on yesterdays prices. This ieatuIe had a good influence on the iutures,s May oats closed sc higher than yesterday.

A TOBACCO STORY.

A comical story is told of two we'll
known Southern clergymen, one. OF
them undertook to rebuke the other
for using the weed:
Brother G. ,"he exclaimed without
stopping to ask questions, sis it posi-
bic that you chew t~obacco9"
Il must confess, I do" the other
quietly replied.
"Then l would quit it, SIR" the old
gentleman energetlcally continued. 1T
is a very %unclerical practice, and a
very uncleanly one. Tobaccol Why,
sir, even a hog won't chew it,"
Father O., do you chew ~tobacco9"
responded the amused listener.
III No, sir!" he answered gruf1y,
with much Indignation.
''Then, pray, which is the most like
the hog, you or II"
The old doctors fat sides shook with
laughter, as he said: well, I have
been fairly caught this time"

Eve ate one, and Adam ate two; that
makes three"
You don't add correctly, Bob. The

How do you make that out?' e.
"Why, as you said, Eve ate one 8D
and Adam ate, two 1922. Add 81 and
81 together and you get 1853, don't
you9"
Bob thought a moment and exclalm-
ed: II guess they ate more, after all.
Eve ate for one (841), and Adam ate
two (82) total, 923."
"Oh, I can do better that, eaid Will.
Eve, for one, ate 418D, and Adam,
two, ate one C28D. That makes a total
of 4 362. Can you beat that3"
Yes, indeed! How is this9 Eve ate
one, for one SAD, and Adam ate one,
too (812). That is a total of s, 1888. Now
it's your turn"
