In giving the Chicago closing prices IN

yesterday the board of trade says;
"The Calumet News tells OF traders los
ing and then goes on to tell OF the trad
ers' making and gives some, to say the
least, very extraordinary winnings out
OF small sums invested; il tells that three
spectators with investments only OF
$40 have made $3.50. II there were
such lucky people. they must surely have
been the seventh sons OF seventh sons.
One person told us, with email invest
ment. he made quite stake, but before
he got through the board OF trade had
got il all back again and more besides,
and being Disguised with the business or
having no more money to speculate with,
he then left, but not before he had dis
gorged his winnings; he may be included,
however, among the above lucky ones.

h. at standstill In most lines OF trade,
and Investors seem afraid oil venturing
into new or enlargiug their committanees
In old fields. Prices Of most commodities
are very low and there IL no inducement
Tor capitalists to put their funds into
commercial enterprises.
The only field which seems to be sought
alter by investors 10 the bond market,
where State and municipal bonds are IN
good demand and are selling on 3@3S
per cent basis. The competition among
bond houses for good State and city
bonds has not been so sharp for years
and this is shown In the prices paid Tor
these securities. Today there is scarcely
safe investment In the market that can
be depended upon to net full per cent
and be free from speculative influences.
Old investors, who have been accustomed
to counting upon 5. o and Z per cent, APP
preciate the present condition much more
keenly than the present generation. who
look upon 4 per cent as a renumeratiye
investment. BRAN EATER.

ments Colonel Cooke was shot in the
head and left on the battlefield as dead.
The Federals retreated from the field
and the Confedcrates soon occupied il.
Colonel Cooke, who was then a private.
was aroused to consciousness by some
one Juggling at his boots. The boots
were very fine and the pride Of his boy.

the dear ones at home.
Amt you dead, Yank?" asked the
Confederate as he ceased Juggling to re-
move the boots from the feet Of the
wounded boy.
On being assured that Cooke was not
dead compromise was effected. The
Confederate brought the Union soldier
some water and carried him 10 Con.

the coveted boots.
Cooke had long convalescence and
finally recovered sufficiently to be sent
to Andersonville prison, where he suffer

prison life, great pain from his wound.
This suffering continued even after his
release and his discharge from the army
