CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, July 6.-In wheat cable ad-
vices were of the most encouraging char
acter to holders both from the United
Kingdom and the continent. People in the
flour trade here also reported their foreign
news as more gratifying and orders larger
than for some time hack, These were the
principal reasons for firm opening to the
wheat market here. The statistics of the
week were also favorable to the bull side,
although in some respects less so than in
the week before. Shipments of wheat and
flour during the last week $40 900 bushels,
against 4,66O goo bushels the previous week
and 7,625,000 bushels the corresponding
week of last year. The amount of wheat
and flour on passage shows no change for
the week. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of $50 carloads since Fri
day, against SS7 for the corresponding
period of the year before. The Atlantic
port exports reported today were equal in
wheat and flour to 445, 600 bushels. Liver
pool opened sd higher for September and
I'D higher for July, and closed with an ad-
vance of 13sd per GENITAL for July and 34d
for September. Paris gained 30 centimes
and Antwerp 121a centimes for provision
quotations. The strength of the foreign
market was emphasized by buying orders
sent here from abroad for futures and
the taking for next months shipment from
New York of thirty boatloads of new winter
wheat. September wheat opened at 64ssd
64a4, compared with last Fridays closing
price of 64A@642s. 1t sold up to 64% G6i7s
gradually fell off to 641s; then under the in
f1uence Of the corn advance it advanced tc
653s. The closing price was 65@651. The
corn pit was jammed with traders all day
who had heavy orders to execute and the
market was the most active for many
months. There seemed to be universal
desire to buy September opened at from
264d26la and closed at 271s bid. Oats were
firm, principally because of the strength
in corn. The provision market was the
quietest in the pit. The market expert
enced an early decline, but recovered agar
when corn made its final lump.
The leading futures closed as folInms.

The statistics of the fraternal and benev-
olent associations OF the United States pre-
sent some facts that may be surprising to
persons who have never looked into the
subject. The total membership of these
orders is 1851, 900. of which number about
1000, 900 are Free Masons, more than $780,
900 Odd Fellows and about 100000 knights
Of Pythias. The rest are scattered through
out many organizations. the best known
of which are the Ancient Order of Forest
ers and the Ancient Order of United Work
men. The size of this fraternity army
can be better appreciated when 1t is con-
sidered that at the last presidential cleo
tion the total vote cast in the United
States was about 100000 scarcely double
the size of the fraternity membership. The
development of these fraternal and benevo-
lent organizations has been largest in re-
cent years because of the extension of
what is known as the System of sick
benefits" Members have been guaranteed
certain means of support in case of sick
ness and proportionate return in the way
of life insurance for the money paid in
when they die, and these features have
served to popularize the various orders
to an extraordinary degree. In this respect
also the organizations have been of marked
benefit.
The latent danger in the multiplicity of
fraternal organizations is that so many
new concerns are started by men whose
sole object is the obtaining Of salaried posi-
tions for themselves and their relatives
and the gathering in of all the loose change
hot ic in, 1a
not be exercised by those who desire to
avail themselves of "fraternal' benefits in
the selection of trustworthy associations
and officers.

book. When tho freight train stops, she
fits in and ont OF the long line Of cars,
telling the brakemen what to take and
what to leave. She goes from one end Of
the train to the other, seeing that no mis-
takes are made. The bareheaded girl in
a white dress is full Of business. She
wastes no time on empty words The
rainmen respect her. She does every
thing about the station but handle the
baggage. There arc plenty Ct stout

for that work.

Clocks WIN Nerres.

There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is being noticed by
the occupants. It is perhaps a small
disadvantage, but still is worth consid-
ering, as it involves some annoyance to
those who have not made provision for
it.
The trouble referred to is the stop
ping Of pendulum clocks by the vibra-
tion Of the buildings. Many pendulum
clock that has kept accurate time for
years in old fashioned low structures
has refused to run at all when moved
into some one of the new tall steel
framed buildings in the lower part, Of

buildings the clocks run fairly well, but
when higher up in the buildings they
become more whimsical and on the top

Jersey City depot OF the Pennsylvania
railroad bound for San Diego, Califor
mia. and conveying the first of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's per-
onally-conducted tours to the Pacific

This train will be the finest that ever
crossed the continent and the tour it
carries one of the most elaborate and
complete ever conceived for trans-con-
tinental and pleasure travel. In charge

plished chaperon, this party, without
fear of missing train connections, and
without any of those petty annoyances
incident TO individual travelling, crosses
the American continent with as much
comfort and ease as it would spend a
week at the Waldorf, stopping, too, at
ST. Louis, Kansas City, Las Vegas Hot
Springs and Santa Fe, and visiting
their principal points of interest. A
bath room. barber shop and an upright
piano will be found on the train, and
every other convenience and luxury of
q lrst-class hostelry.
The great object of this tour is to
escape the insalubrious climate of the
| East and to sOjOurn for time amid the
! transccndent beauties of California
/ breathe its invigorating air and bask
] beneath its matchless sky. A grandel
attraction could not be offered, nor q
more perfect method of reaching it.

Paradise of the Pacific" during which
tourists will visit Los Angeles, Pasa

Books have a right to he, first Of all
books, not purveyors Of whimsies in
color and design. AS matters are at this
moment three-quarters of the new
books look more like some strange en-
tree at feast than like everyday edi-
bles You take up one, and it has the
air Of a curious ragout; there arc un-
known fragments of design floating in
"a sauce Of queer elemental color. The
next one has an air as honest as apple
sauce at first glance; 'tis a pale greenish
thing, but presently you see that the
trail Of a serpent is over all its border.
And who can hope for content from a
dish thus garnished?
Again q book, and this one burns
bright red and yellow, like pudding
on fire with cognac, which is all very
we'll for q pudding. Another has cover
which looks like a resisting beefsteak
pounded by the stern hand Of fate in a
boarding house; another reminds you
irresistibly of coffee wherein chickory
has too much inserted its diluting aid
and cream is missing. But, first and
last, the new books are ever more prone
to resemble small plots Of deceptive
stage verdure than honest, simple souled
books. 1t is impossible to help doubt
ing the value of the literary pasturage
to be found in such Enclosures. Fortu.
nhtely ono is sometimes most joyously
deceived. Authors have little "say

hear. But nine times out Of ten it is all
owing to the opportunity that presented
itself. Fortune just seems TO lie in wait

from generation to generation. And
why? Simply because he was sitting
under a tree, and an apple happened to

Chinese Royalty.

Tho present emperor Of China is
Huang Hsu, who succeeded to the throne
Jan. l2, 1875. He was one of the young
est monarchs who ever astended tho
throne, being at the date Of accession
only 3 years cid. There have been %
dynastics in China, the royal history of
this country being better ascertaincd
than that Of any other which reaches
hack to ancient times. With some few
breaks, the Chinese have had "a regular
succession of sovereigus since Fuhhi,
who, the Chinese say, reigned from B.
Q. 2S52 to 273i. According to Chinese
tradition, Fuhhi was no less person
age than the Noah Of the Scriptures,
who, after leaving his ark on Mount
Ararat, travelled east and founded the
Chinese empire. Chinese history asserts
that several Of their carly monarchs
ruled for over "a century each; one reign
ing over China for 10 years, another
for l02, another for 100, and so on. 1t
is considered probable by historians that
these figures represent rather dynasties
than the roigns of individual sovereigns.
China has had in almost direct descent,
with no more than two or three breaks
in the history of the royal family, B;
sovereigns, 90 emperors, Tartar rulers,
6 Mogul emperors and ompresses.
