Chicago AtnrIsSt.

Chicago. Aug. 15.-Local traders and
scalpers In wheat had no particular pre-
ference for either the short or long side
OF the market to-day, but after a few
minutes following the opening, appear
edto believe that the former would be
the more remunerative. inasmuch rs
there was no important reason for eS-
pectinE an advance. Selling orders.
therefore. became more plentiful than
puying. and prices edged away to a
moderate extent
Corn-Corn was governed almost
SOLELY by sympathy with wheat and
consequently presented an easier tone
during the major portion of the SEES
sion. The proportion of believers in
higher prices for corn is very small and
ut the same time sentiment in favor
OF further decline is not radical ow-
ing to the unremuneratiye prices at
present prevailing.
Oats declined through the instrument
tnlity of the weakness conveyed to then,
bv the other markets. The undertone
was. however. steady. The condition in
the cash market and the belief that the
crop will not be fully up to earlier ex
pectations operate to the benefit of
prices.
Prices recovered their loss near the
close.
Provisions-The hog market was up
5@10 cents this morning, thereby in
spring the provision trade with some
confidence. The opportunity to sell
proved alluring. however, and profess
SIGNALS offered freely, causing subse-
ouent weakness and material loss
from the opening point Before the
close q rally took place, Shorts" doinp
considerable buying.

THE GoNFEssoR's PRAYER.
An Interestins Anecdofe Recalled by
DIR. Renson,s Death.

This comes from London in a letter re-
ceived yesterday-Every one will be in
terested in stories about the personality
of the recently deceased Archbishop of
Canterbury. Here is one that has not APP
peared in any newspaper. When the
Russians were in the heat of their ex-
pulsions of the Jews the chief rabbi,
Adler, of London, begged the Archbishop
to use his influence with the Cars con-
fessor to get his master 10 interfere and
modify the DEGREES. In vain the Arch
bishop told him that 1t would be of no
effect at all, so, not to ~diSappoint him.
he wrote the letter, and in reply got an
answer from the confessor, tantamount
to desiring him to mind his own BUSH
ness. and disagreeing entirely with his
reading of the texts upon Christian char
ity that he cited.
Last year the eonfessor came to Eng
land and was taken to Lambeth Palace
the official residence of the Archbishops
of Canterbury. by the Russian Secretary.
He was cordially welcomed by the Arch
bishop and his family and shown over
the palace.1 In the chapel he twice utter
ed a sort of prayer in Russian, crossing
