Chicago Change.


Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 10.-Wheat was irregu-
lar today, but after a session in which
weakness rather than strength predomi-
mated closed at exactly the same figures as
Saturday. The market began under the
weakening stock market, and ended with
more firmneSs because of q better feeling in
securities. Notwithstanding the Importance
of the factor mentioned, there was due con-
sideration shown for the regular Monday
statistics, as witnessed by the strength dis
played on the moderate volume of the
worlds shipments, 4S11 900 bushels, on a de-
crease Of $4,000 bushels in the amount Of
visible supply. September wheat opened at
56%@57c, sold between 57A and 56ssQ561ac,
closing at &c. unchanged from Saturday.
Cash wheat was irregular, closing steady.
Corn was firm early, though the interest
in trade was manifestly light. September
corn opened at 24Ac, sold between 23A and
24Aq24ssc, closing at 237sc, Ac under Saturr
day. Cash corn was easy, closing Nc lower.
Oats presented steadiness with inactivity
during the early hours of trading, but weak
ness followed the decline in corn and no re-
covery took place thereafter. Oats closed
5sQAc under Satu. day. Cash oats were Nc
Provisions-The provision market was in
pretty much the same rut that it was in
prior to the furry of last week. Fluctua-
tons were governed by the prevailing tone
of the hog market, which was weak. Later,
to accord with the speculative feeling in
other parts of the room, there was re-
covery, pork advancing the most. Septem-
Der pork closed 32lac higher than Saturday,
September lard TIC higher and September
ribs, 10Q121sc higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Cotton Letter.


New York, Aug. 10.-(Special.) 1.-THE days
market was a very lively one. Liverpool
broke badly upon the alleged information
that the drouth in the southwest had been
effectually broken. The news received here
did not confirm this view. January opened
at 7.43, but gradually advanced to 7.50. This
was about the situation when the bureau
report was announced making the condi-
ton of the crop on July 81 SOL, against 927
on June 3d. This was far worse than any
body had expected and especially as it does
not include the more serious deterioration
that has taken place since August. Traders
Immediately concluded that the condition OF
the crop at this time must be about 20, and
prices bounded upward. January rose to
77S. There was a slight recession on real
izing sales at the close, which was steady,
with January at 778d779 The bureau con-
firms our own information that the crop as
a whole is very badly hurt and is still suf-
fering. We expect higher prices. and adj
wise more confidently than hitherto buying
cotton on every soft spot.

The Mysterious Properties of Printer.

A printer is IA most curious being living. He
NAV have a bank and coins. and not be worth a
cent. He may have small caps. and have neither
wife nor children. Others may run fast, but he
gets along the swiftest by setting fast. He may
be making impressions without eloquence. He
may use the 7ye. and with the same breath be
telling the truth. While others cannot stand
while they sit. he can set standing. Sometimes
he makes and puts away PIC, yet he may never
see pie. much less eat it. Though he always has
furniture. yet he may have no dwelling. Won
derful to relate he is sometimes a human being
and a rot at the same time. He presses a great
deal. yet never asks Il favor Constantly he is
seen handling a Sh0otHg-stich. Yet may know
nothing about a cannon. gum or pistol. and may
use ttdggers or even oG1tble ddggers. without
shedding blood. while from the earth he is able
to reach the stars. He lays down sheets without
being housewife. his form on a bed, and may
sleep on the floor. He may have a SheepStoOt.
and not be deformed. Never without "a case, he
may know nothing of law or physic. Always
correcting his errors and growing worse every
day. he may have his form locked up. and at the
same time be free from any prison or cOn1ine-

customs very odd. AS soon as those al

up all that was on their plates, and ther
putting their knives down leaned on
the table with their left hands, and
with their forks disposed Of the food
with celebrity and without interruption
At supper the hostess ground and cook
ed the coffee at the table, and the butter
was taken with individual knives out
of an earthen pot that was used in com
mon. Cheese was served and secured
in similar manner. and was smeared
over thick slices of buttered bread
When the eating was finished every
body still sat and watched the hostess
wash the dishes. which she did at table
using the snowiest of napkins, without
wetting her fingers. while the master
pulled a cigar.

we are Jealous in the East, because we
attach so much Importance to the
West. It cannot be that we are ashamed
of the West, because we like to speak
with pride Of 1t. It's people cannot
differ so very much from us since half
of the American West is really made up
of Eastern folks. But yet we go on and
on, and everything in the West that is
not to our taste is 'the Western idea of
