African ivory is now conceded to be
the finest. The first quality of this
comes from near the equator and it
has been remarked with regard to this
fact that the nearer the equator the
smaller is the elephant, but the larger
the tusks. The ivory from equatorial
Africa is closer in the grain and has
less tendency to become yellow by ex-
posture than Indian ivory.
The finest transparent African ivory
is collected along the west coast, be-
tween ATTITUDES 10 degrees north and
10 degrees south, and this is believed
to deteriorate in quality and to be more
liable to damage with increase Of lati.
tude in either direction. The whitest
ivory comes from the east coast. 1t is
considered to be in best condition when
recently cut. 1t has then mellow,
warm, transparent tint. as if soaked
in oil, and very little appearance OF
grain or texture.
Indian ivory has a nopaque white
color and tendency to become dis
colored. OF the Asian varieties Siam
is considered to be the finest. being
much superior in appearance and den
sity. The ivory of the mammoth tusks
is not very much esteemed, particular!
in England. 1t is considered too dry
and brittle for elaborate work. besides
which it is very liable to turn yellow

From n Brokers Viewpoint.

Chicago Dispatch to o. II. Faught.)
Wheat-The market opened at about last
nights close and ruled easy in the first
hour Cables were slightly higher, but
Northwestern receipts were again large.
The trade was light, as was the case yester-
day at the opening. Later news, however,
was in favor of holders and the market
took jump to 66llc The Liverpool Corn
Trade News showed a deficiency in the
stocks of wheat in America, the United
Kingdom and afloat for Europe of 2S.9l2.O0O
bushels as compared with 1885. 1t further
says in twenty-three weeks since Aug. 1 the
importing countries have absorbed 1472O,O0O
bushels more foreign wheat than the esti-
mated requirements, and argues from these
figures that the importing countries will re-
quire for the year 100000 bushels, as
against 1886, 600 available for export, and
TO prove this the amount afioat will needs
be reduced TO its lowest possible limit and
every available bushel will need to be drawn
from America and Russia. The demand in
the Northwest for export accounts is con-
sidered an important factor, as is also the
statement of a prominent miller that the
grindings at Minneapolis are equal to the
daily receipts. A late private cable from
Liverpool reads that wheat Is very strong
and 1ad higher, demand being large for near
arrivals, while futures are active and high
err Hunting, at McGregor. Ia, says that
yesterday were only 1920 bushels. and San
Francisco wires that the coast markets are
very strong. the Australian and domestic
demand being eager. Minister Baker re-
ports that the drouth has cut down the
wheat crop in Central America, and large
importations from California, Oregon and
Washington have resulted. The break in
prices later in the day was due to profess
sional manipulation, Partridge being a
heavy seller The market took sales well
and ii is doubted if lines sold could be
bought back without advancing prices two
or three times as much as they were de-
pressed by selling Country buying orders
are coming in freely. The situation situation is ex-
tremely favorable to the holders and 1t
looks as ii the outsiders would get away
with the money: as they did ia a year ago:
s4ssc Calls opened at &c and closed at
657sc bid.
Corn and Oats-These markets to-day
ruled steady at about yesterdays figures.
Provisions-Hogs opened strong and high
err due to a considerable extent to small re-
ceipts Commission houses have been big
buyers. The estimates of~hogs for Saturday
are small. The market closed strong for
the entire list.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Slow Under Favorable COndi

In nearly all departments trade is rather
quiet. largely due to the unfavorable
weather conditions. Dry-goods houses and
boot and shoe men look the winter
trade as practically over. and are getting
in spring and summer goods. With gro
GERS, seasons cut but little figure, but mud
roads cut down their trade perceptibly.
Commission men are complaining of tull
trade. but prices on most lines of fruits
and vegetables are we'll maintained. Re-
ceipts OF eggs and butter continue large
and prices weak, while the receipts of
poultry are hardly up to the usual Janu-
airy average. The hide market is less ac-
tive and prices easy. Provisions are in
good request at strong prices. Shippers
to-day viii pay but II cents for eggs.
