never could quite understand how
every one in the neighborhood found
out that on that particular day l was
going to make my first attempt at con-
quering the unruly spirit of a soulless
mechanism. 1t was after nightfall when
| brought the wheel home. l thought
the secret was my own and all things
seemed propitious to quiet contest be-
TWEEN the wheel and myself, in which
should have won the laurels before the
neighbors were apprised that the battle
was on. To further insure this result
had for several days studied the man
ners of veteran riders, especially when
Heading their wheels. | flattered my
self I had this pretty near perfection.
AS l led the wheel out to the street
even stopped to examine n spoke crit
ically, in precisely the manner l had
seen an expert do the day before. 1t
was in vain. rhe audience was in wait
ing.
The prospect, as looked up and down
the street, appalled, me. Every door
and window seemed to have its occu-

front gates. | don't believe that there
was a house within four blocks that

with small boys. The small boy knows
instinctively at what particular time
and place man is about to make a
fool of himself, and he usually manages

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Disappointing
ly small decrease in the worlds visible
supply caused Il slump In wheat today
causing 1t to close at loss of l-SM1-4c
from Saturdays figures after an early
rise OF 3-4c.
Corn and oats were but slightly nf-
fected and closed unchanged and pro-
visions made slight recessions. There
was a fair speculative trade In wheat
the market changing with considerable
rapidty within III 1 l-sc range. The
feeling developed was quite nervous
and prices for awhile irregular but the
tone was on the whole easy and the
close shows 1-Sc decline. The first
trend OF the market was upward. the
feeling being strengthened by the bet
ter cables and the cold weather which
was thought to be Injurious to the
growing plant. There was apparently
a good many buying orders on the mar
ket and in filling them the price was
advanced to sc Ia which was nearly
ga better than the close saturday. But
the reports from the visible supply
noints soon began to show that there
would be no such decrease as had been
eynected. New York reported loss of
only n little over 100000 bushels where
75O 900 had been expected ana at one
time IL looked as though there might
possihly be an increase. rms started
general selling and 1t did not take long
FOR tho price to go over lie. But later
when II was known that there would
be a slight decrease the market ree ,,,
ared slightly. The market ruled duh
and easy during the last hour:
Corn was very slightly aitected py
the wheat market and prices We're
steady. IA, ,t,,,,,od hust-
