per cent, to 30 with later reaction to 2S.
The aggregate sales were So, ,990, 900.
Export buying on an enormous scale and
very strong English and French markets
were responsible for 2 cent advance in
wheat today. At the close the speculative
feeling was feverish, Influenced by reports
of anywhere from 100000 to 200, 900 bushels
taken for Europe at New York and out
ports. AS usual, a large part of this busi-
ness was credited to French and German
account. September opened locally at s2a4
and after easing off to S2ss, jumped to S4%
at the close, which is the high water mark
on the present movement The total sales
of futures for the day reached $3.50, 900

bushel since Friday last. The advance
here In the same time, taking 76 cents as
the price this morning, has been ~ cents
per bushel, just one-half that of Liverpool
The first trades in September were chiefly
at 76A, but the advance brought out very
heavy offerings and quick break to 755s
resulted. 1t soon recovered again to 76, and
during the next hour it fuctuated between
75% and 76h. The Russian shipments to
Europe last week were much heavier than
had been looked for. and made the total
from the chief shipping countries to
Europe 5.1O3,OOO bushels against 1851, 900
the week previous and 4, ,30S, 900 bushels the
corresponding week last year. The guam
tity on ocean passage increased $4,000
bushels. Chicago receipts were 331 cars,
of which 311 were from this years crop
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 81 car
loads received, against 400 cars the year
before. Liverpool stocks of wheat have
reduced l,Sl6,0OO bushels since July 1st.
Dispatches from New York kept increasing
the number of boat loads bought for ex-
port there until at II o'clock the number
had risen to 119, and they claimed 100
worked yesterday, making 219 for the two
days, or the equivalent of ], 1852 900 bushels
Some Of that business was wheat bought
for shipment at Chicago. The bulk of ex-
port takings was credited to the continent,
but the United Kingdom was likewise in
closing cablegrams were strong-Paris 20

times to 25 centimes for wheat, while Ant
werp showed another 25 centimes rise for
American red wheat and Liverpool closed
with net gain of I'd per GENITAL. The pri-
mary western receipts were 795 900 bushels
| against 595511 bushels year ago. Brad
streets made the worlds visible $1,000
bushels more than it was last week, but
to that has to be added an increase on the
Pacific coast during July of 1135, 900 BUSH
els. Exports of wheat and flour from At
lantic ports for the day were equal to
$40, 900 bushels Toward the end the amount
of business done for export had expanded
to $50 boat loads at the seaboard, accord
ing to some reports and to 100000 here,
which merely gives an indication Of the
vast demand as it appeared to the major
lity, forty or fifty boat loads more or less
cutting no figure. September touched the
highest figure for some time, reacting only
a cent. September opened A@A higher
at 1914 sold off to 751s@755s, advanced to
7714 and closed with sellers at n. Corn con-
tinued to rule strong, influenced by the
advance in wheat and the dry, hot weather
that still prevailed in Kansas. The market
for oats was relatively not as active as
would be expected. There was quite a good
Independent inquiry from the outside as
well as local people. Provisions opened
strong at 10 cents advance each for pork
and lard and 71a for ribs, due, it was said,

BEEF STEW WITH DUMPLINGs.-In
making = stew from beef We used two
pounds Of lean meat, which ne cut into
pieces about one inch square and dredged
1t thickly with flour. Having put two
tablespoOnfuls Of butter or drippings
into frying pan over good fire, MS
soon as IL was very hot we added the
meat. We kept turning the meat, and
as soon as it was nicely Drowned we
turned 1t into saucepan. We added
one tablespoonful Of -four to the butter
remaining in the frying pan, and when
we'll mixed we added one quart OF boil
ing water. We stirred until 1t boiled,
then we poured 1t through sieve into
the saucepan containing the meat. We
added one sprig Of parsley and small
onion, and having placed lid on the
saucepan, we let its contents simmer for
two hours. When the meat had cooked
one hour we added one teaspooufui of
salt and three dashes of pepper. In
making the dumplings we sifted one piut
OF -four and added TO Ii one heaping tea
spoonful Of baking powder and sifted 1t
again. We added 0ne-fOurth Of tea
spoonful Of salt and about 0ne-fourth Of
4 pint of sweet milk, only enough to
make soft dough. We stirred the
dough with wooden spoon and dipped
the dough by small spoonfuls, placing II
over the meat. We covered the sauce
pan and left it to simmer for about
twenty minutes. We were very careful
not to uncover the pan while the dump
lings were cooking, for fear they would
fall, and as there Is danger Of the stew
scorching after the dumplings are
added, we moved the pan to moderate
part Of the fire. As soon a. the dump
lings were done they were served with
the meat on warmed platter.-Good
Housekeeping.

ONE DECIDED DIFFERENCE.

We were discussing some deep prob
lens Of the day, trying to photograph
them, as II were, on the brain. The
question OF capital and labor came up.
sCan you tell me, colonel, what Is the
difference between capital and laborT'

gineer corps, U. 5. A.
~ fstter myself that eau, sir" said
the colonel. "0ne day before my old
and very dear friend, William II. Van
derbilt, died, he was run down by an
unruly team st Fleetw ood Park. His In
juries did not amount 10 scratch, sir,
but they caused panic In Wall Street,
and the newspapers published from two
to four columns about It. At the same
time a brickmason fell from the top OF q
wall he was building and broke his neck
