From the nature of the case the En-
glish market for wheat, or corn. as
they call 1t on that side of the Atlantic,
Is a bear market. At the very most

small part Of the breadstuffs required

hives OF Industry. A few days ago a
London dispatch set forth that there
was glut Of grain coming from diff
ferent parts Of the world. One would
suppose from the representation made
that our farmers ought to be thankful
II they got half price for their wheat.
Since then there has fallen under OBJ
servation the estimate made by the
Russian minister Of finance of this
years wheat crop. His figures are

lit would seem that the men who
make and lose fortunes In day on
the New York stock exchange. would
have all the gambling that their con-
situations could stand. They do. for
ten months In the year. but In the
other two-July and Augustine
lambs have gone elsewhere. and Wall
street is comparatively duh place.
But the gambling appetite must be
fed. When the brokers are not losing
or winning thousands with other peo-
pies money, they risk their own, but
on much smaller scale. They don't
go against the stock market, for long
experience has taught them that there
Is certain percentage against the
player. They gamble among them
selves for smaller stakes, where every
man has an equal chance OF winning
and losing.
Common, ordinary games do not do
for the broker in his idle moments.
There must be novelty to get them
interested, and TO satisfy this craving
some mighty ingenious games have
been devised. There are a few old
stdAuUNs, IKE IHdtcniuk pennies toT
So notes, which have stood the test of
time, but the newest game is always
the most popular.
A certain Wall street light went to
Washington not long ago and there
discovered a game which has since
been introduced on the street with
great success. There is plenty of ex-
element in playing 1t, and 1t is abso-
lutely honest.
The electric fan is the means by
which the game is played. Some Of
the fans have only four blades, others
have five and six blades. The six
blade fans are the most popular, even
when there are only four players.

on which way the bean will Jump.
The players of this game enter their
beans just as horse-owners do for q
sweepstakes. The bean Is the little
South American affair with a tiny
worm inside. The squirming OF the
worm makes the bean jump one way
or the other. The bean with the live
Hest worm stands the best chance OF
winning. as IL goes flower the most

The game Is played In this way: A
circle about an Inch In diameter Is
drawn in the center OF a large sheet
OF white paper Another circle, q
inches away from the other, Is dra wn.
The big outside circle Is then the
starting line and the little circle Is
the finish The bean that lands inside
the small circle first Is the winner.
Ii costs 81 TO enter bean I'm this race
but when two beans are making about
equal Roadway for the small circle big
bets are often made as to which will
win. III the bean jumps the wrong

opposite direction 10 the small circle

starting line. But no bean can be
touched after 1t has once started In

1t will be noted that these figures

on board Of the $. s. Belgic than his
fellow passengers on that vessel.
One OF these on landing here the
day the steamer arrived made q call
on one OF our respected citizens, and
in the course OF conversation re-
marked that he deemed himself
very fortunate in being allowed to
land, as there had been cases of
cholera on the vessel during the
voyage. 1t is passing strange that
Mr.. Armstrong should have been in
utter ignorance of the disease in
fecting the steerage passengers, as
he has told us that, by an under
standing with the agents OF the ves-
sci in Japan and the consular repre-
sentative of this country, he was to
have special information relating to
the health Of the crew and passen-
gers. Possibly his dense Ignorance
may have been caused by the fear
that if it was known to our Board of
Health officials that cholera had de-
veloped on board the steamer he
would not be allowed to land. He
banked on the slackness OF the
Boards officials and won.
