WHEAT WAS UNCHANGED
DULL DAY On CHICAGO BOARD, WITH
FEW OUTSIDE ORDERS.
Cudahy Raidcd Provisions. and the
Heavy Unloading Caused a Decline
I'm Pork at the Close.

CHICAGO. Aug. was a dearth
OF interest in the wheat market to-day.
The volume of business was small, and out
side influences few. September closed
steady and unchanged, at SOC. Corn was
more active. closing a trifie higher than it
did Friday. Provisions sold of early on
raiding by the Cudahy crowd, recovering
later by buying by people who got short
early.
There was not much of a trade in wheat,
the market ruling dull and dragging all
day. with fluctuations limited TO 5sqAc. A
fairly firm feeling prevailed at the start,
after which a weak spell set in, but final
figures were unchanged on September,
while December WIS up &c. Moderate
Northwest receipts. higher cables and fair
exports for the week were responsible for
the early firmness. Liverpool was UP I'D.
and then Argentine shipments were mod
crate. The closing Berlin cables were a
shade higher. There were no cables from
Paris, owing to a holiday. The market
rallied near the close on reports Of liberal
cable acceptances at seaboard.
The corn market exhibited very little ac-
tivity. ruling dull most of the day within
sc range. The feeling displayed at the
start was easy, after which there was a
moderate rally, and final figures showed
slight advance. There was little news at
A-oIAAA Az tAAC III 10 oAAa Ct
good Receipts were about as looked for.
Oats were stronger. with a fair trade, and
prices advanced Aq%sc from the low point
and closed at the top. with a gain of Ac.
The feature was the moderate offerings
and the fair covering by shorts. Some
changing from September to May was in
dulged in at &c difference.
Provisions sold off early. but rallied and
closet. showing fair gains in everything
EXCEPT September pork. which exhibited a
decline of 1oc as compared with yesterday.
The Cudahy crowd hammered this future,
causing the weakness mentioned. AS a re-
suit of the early selling the crowd got
short. making it necessary to buy in lower,
causing the rally. There was some chang
ing of September lard: yesterday offers
were made to carry IL to January for .40c.
and to-day .406t 42c was paid. There was a
better cash demand for lard and a mod
crate demand for meats. September pork
opened at S6.25, broke TO Sc. rallied TO $500
and closed at $6.15. September lard started
at 3.27l2c, broke to 3.221zc and rallied to $3.50

Sunday morning, July 26, the Rev. S. d.

Church., at South River. near here;

single women in general. Now, the young
pastor it being flooded with love letters
from the class of women he eulogized. The
young pastor is a bachelor. but he is awe
struck at the receipt of tender missives by
the score daily.
The Rev. MIR. Sammis has been in the
ministry ten years. He graduated from
Hamilton College. and later from Union
came to the South River Church on supply.
So we'll was he liked that he was called to
the Tabernacle pastorate. One of his first
sermons was about the old maids. Scores
of old maids almost at once began to write
| love letters. congratulatory notes and cor
respondence soliciting billets to him. Some
of them have the earmarkS of crankism.
After much persuasion a reporter secured
a few of these letters. Mr.. Sammis was
very reluctant TO let them be viewed. Here
is an extract from an ancient maiden's
script. She dated her letter from BROOKLYN.
and called herself Miss Phoebe Long"

HarDers Round Table.
Probably one OF the neatest bits of sharp
bargaining ever enacted took place not
long ago between an apparently ignorant
German with an abundance of wealth and
Il sharp dealer In horses. The German
wanted a days outing, and decided that A
long drive would suffice for his wants. and
applied TO the horse dealer for the hire OF
his best horse and trap. The dealer. not
knowing the applicant. demurred at supply
ing his wants. The German. determined 10
have his ride. fnall- pulled out a huge ron
OF bills. and offered TO buy the horse and
rig. provided the dealer would buy them
back 1t the same price. This surprised the
dealer. but not wishing TO offend the own
er OF so much ready money and possibly q
good future customer. he agreed 10 the
deal.
The German departed with the horse and
them in good condition. expressing his sat-
isfaction at the pleasure the drive had az
forded him. The dealer. according TO the
agreement. paid him back the money. and
the German started TO leave the place.
Il beg your pardon. sir" exclaimed the
dealer. but. you have forgotten 10 pay for

BoLTERs AND THE PLATFORM.

eve expect some men TO leave the
Democratic party. We would have
kept tthem in had we wanted to, If we
had made the platform to suit them.
(Applause.) If the Democratic platform
on the money question had been what
our opponents wanted,it would have
been just like the Republican platform,
because both would have been frauds.
(Applause). If we had adopted plat
form like the Republicans and nomi-
mated candidates who would pledge
themselves not TO do anything with
out first going down to New York and
asking what ought to be done, what
would have been the result? Why
these magnates would have been able
to sit back and say they are both good
men, the country IS safe under either.
(Laugnter1. We could have had that
SORT of campaign if we had wanted it.
But somehow the majority of the peo-
pie in that convention decided they
wanted another kind of a campaign,
and so they made platform that
breathes the spirit of the Declara-
ton of independence. Tremendous
and long continued applause).
The very parts of that platform
which have been most hurtful ito the
men who have used the Democratic
party for private gain and their coun-
try for public plumber, are those near
est the hearts of the American people.
We are not losing anybody from the

Himself.

New York, Sept. 5.--John G. Shee-

out flatfootcd to-day for the indorse-
ment of Bryan and Sewall and the Chi

for the single gold standard.

said he, "did not go to that extreme.
This country has been prosperous I'M

and advocates of the gold cure have
been gradually stealing from us lcgis-

only get 1t back by electing Bryan aud
