Did the Ants Talk?

Sir James Boyle, the great Irish nat
uralist, always contended that ants had
a language of their own, by which they
made known their wants and fears to
others of their kind. One day he en-
countered a colony that was evidently
moving to new quarters All appeared
in the very best of spirits, and when
ever two met the naturalist noted that
they put their heads together as though
chatting very earnestly. To settle the
matter in his own mind as to whether
they were really talking or not, he
killed one Of them to observe the effect
it would have on the others. The eye
witnesses to the murder hastened to the
rear and halted every one of the ad7anc-
ing column by laying their antenne to-
gether. The column instantly separated
to the right and the left, none of the
marchers afterward passing within less
than six feet Of their dead companion,
though the remains of the insect were
directly in the beaten path. Louis

An old Love Affair.

Though Cuba, beauteous brunette,
The Spaniard bold may claim,
With vows that he will never let
Her bear another's name,
Some subtle tokens still we see
Across the southern brine
That Uncle Samuel will be
Her only valentine.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 10.--The business in
the wheat market to-day was handicap
ped by anticipation of the government re-
port. No one cared to assume a deter
mined attitude either for or against
prices until that document was out of the
way, hence trading was restricted to CD
erations OF minor character and to COW

Prices were somewhat erratic in their
changes and were influenced more or less

cline in prices was followed by a rally,

DRY GOODs.

New York, Sept. 10.-The report Of the
agricultural bureau on the cotton crop is
interpreted as confirming the worst re-
ports of recent damage, and together with
the continued upward movement in the
cotton market has a further strengthen
ing influence over staple cotton goods in
the dry goods market to-day. Buyers
may show no eagerness to follow the rise
but as a matter of fact the sellers appear
very Indifferent to the character of the
demand at the moment. They appear
to rest secure in the belief that the inn
perative demand will be sufficient to take
care of current production, and that I'M
less prices rise still further production will
still further be cut down until there is
such scarcity as shall insure the raising
of merchandise to something like parity
with cost of raw material.

New York, Sept. 10.-Riordan & Co, say
of cotton to-day: when the market OPP
ened this morning there were general mis-
givings as to how the day would end. Ev-
erybody admitted that the conditions were
bulIsh and nobody was short of cotton.
Everybody had bought it and was await
ing chance to unload at a profit It was
known that there were many orders to
sell large lines, irrespective of price, as
soon as the bureau figures were ANNOUNCE
ed The general expectation was that
those figures would be about TO- That
would have been bad enough and had this
expectation been fulfilled there is no doubt,
that severe break would have followed.
but when the unheard of estimate of g. 3
was given out, the buying orders imme-
diately became sufficient to absorb all
the offerings and to maintain an advance
Of ten to fifteen points. There is little
doubt that but for the large selling or
ders January would have risen above 8
cents. AS 1t was January which had
fuctuated in the forenoon between S55c
and S.63c, advanced quickly to SITE, react
ed S.69c, and closed at S.72GS. 73c, with the
tone steady. The bureau figures are the
worst on record, and we do not see how
they can fail to give us a higher market
The Improvement may be gradual for
there is no short interest to be covered in
a hurry, but we think it pretty sure to
come nevertheless. We favor buying on
weak spots.''
New York, Sept. 10.-The Sun says of
cotton to-day: Cotton advanced 3 to 8
points, lost this, but later rallied and adj
vanced, closing steady at a net improve
ment of Is to Is points with sales of 31S 100
bales.

port to-day would be a bullish document,

lowest at this period of the season in q
years. The result was a sharp advance in
prices. Liverpool rallied after opening
