the session. but became firm again under
covering by shorts and sold up to 05Ac.
II reacted to 65% G65Mc, which was the
price at the close.
Speculative business In corn was much
smaller than OF late and operations were
largely OF a scapling character, with mar
row fluctuations. The tendency during
the morning was moderately downward
on the generally favorable crop pros
poets. Local shorts covered on the late
rally in wheat, firm feeling prevailing
at che close. Local receipts were 64S
cars. September opened a shade lower
at 2e9k 32Slse, sold az 26ssc, declined 70
26hc and rallied to 2sHc, where 1t closed.
Oats ruled steady on light amount OF
trading. There was a good visible de-
crease. The visible supply Is now l,SOO,-
900 bushels less than year ago, and this
fact was the chief sustaining feature.
Local receipts were 24S cars. September
opened a shade higher at 1Slk0lSAc, de-
cllned to 17N@isc, and rallied to lSh0
lsisc. which was the closing price.
In provisions the consideration was
enormous, hog receipts, some 1000 more
than expected. This caused very weak
opening and lIauidatioh from all sources
resulted in further losses. The market
rallied later, however, when the grain
markets showed Improvement. At the
close September pork was 2lAc higher at
81 b21l: September lard &c lower at So 90
and September ribs about 2lsc lower at

CHICAGO. July i2.-There was only a
fairly active general demand for cattle
and the heavy run generally served to
bring about weaker feeling, Prices
showed u decline OF about 100l5o per 100
lbs. grassy and coarse heavy cattle de-
veloping the most weakness. Sales
we're largely at 81 2OQ4 rs for native
dressed beef and shipping cattle, with
sales on basis OF 50 1904 90 for the
poorest to IS 0095 10 for strictly prime
beeves. The stocker and feeder trade
was fairly active at former prices,
while butchers and Gamers stuff sold
rather freely, prices ruling largely
dime lower. Calves were unchanged.
Trade In Texas cattle was fairly ami
mated at slightly lower average prices.
The market for hogs was lower from
the start, and prices were of DC, with
some sales at drop OF 10c. Sales We're
at an extreme range of 50 1908 50 for
the poorest TO the best hogs, With the
bulk selling at 50 40g3 45.
Hogs are still choice in quality. but
the proportion of mixed lots is increas-
ing. With the fairly active demand
prices were steady for choice sheep and
lambs, but others were largely weak to
a shade lower. Sheep sold at 81 0OqS So
for natives. with fed westerns adapted
to the export trade salable at SO 1903 30

The Forney Messenger volun-
teers this sensible advice to a
class of people who can be found
in every community: "There
are young men in every town
who wear good clothes sport liv-
cry rigs and deny themselves
nothing, but when asked to pay
a bill they owe to some one who
.supposes they are honest, reply
that they have no money. Are
you one of them? If so, the
best thing you can do is to deny
yourself a few luxures, until you
have saved enough to pay the
people who trusted you, pay
their bills and you can meet them
with an honest countenance.
You will find that your standing
in the world is higher with a
ducking suit on with your debts
paid, than it would be if you were
dressed in purple and fine linen
and you owed everybody. A
few cimlin-headed girls may
prefer you in the latter garb, but
they are not the kind that would
make you a better half"

The Smasher Smashed.

The smasher of idols has been
ingloriously smashed. APOSTLE
Brann, the modern disciple of
classical billingsgate, who has
breakfasted with Demosthenes,
dined with Plato, supped with
Aristotle and blackguarded every
body from Maine to California,
from the plan of salvation to the
constitution of Arkansaw, with a
pen dipped in NORWOOD and
gall, has been rammed, damned
and hazed by a few college
students until he don't know his
head from a hole in the ground.
Yea, he who hath ridden into our
state on trucks, paused a few
moments to sling ink on the
Houston Post and then turned
to smite the hand that fed
him, he who hath delved
daily into ancient Grecian lore in
order that he might clothe his
traduction of the ministry and
his drunken insults to women
under the disguise of literature,
hath fallen into the grasp of the
wicked Philistine, who hath de-
spoiled him of his fair locks and
painted his face a neat, but not
gaudy, sky blue. In other words,
four college students of the Bay
lor college took a sixshooter
away from Mr.. Brann, the belli-
gerent editor of the IconocIast,
forced him into a carriage, drove
him to- sequestered suburb of
Waco and compelled him to sign
a statement that he was liar by
the town clock-or words to that
effect. We trust that the relief
experienced by the apostle in
this premature purging of his
conscience may not prove fatal.
Observer.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stanty failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrn Cure, manufactured by F. j.

sttutional cure on the marker 1t is taken

The board of managers OF
the North Texas hospital for the
insane has let a contract to G..
w. Donaghey, of Longview, for
S27, 450 to build an annex to that

new structure will have a ca
pacity for 235 patients. This

THE Hillsboro Herald says:
GA man may be the architect of
his own fortune, but unless he is
able to build, his plan is worth
very little to him. In favor of
farming it may be truly said that
"a greater proportion of those
who begin by working on a farm
rise to competence and moderate
wealth than in any other pursuit
and the sensible and industrious
young man who aspires to a life
of usefulness, independence and
honor will find no better field for
the attainment of that aim than
upon the farm. The Herald
wishes that every worthy boy in
Texas would realize that indust-
rial pursuits are the noblest of
all occupations, and that the
best and most profitable of these
is agriculture.
