WHEAT MARKET WEAK. WITH
DOWNWARD TENDENCY.
Barley Lower for Feed Descriptions
There Are No Changes in Oats,
And Little Inquiry.

San Francisco, Jan. 22d.
Wheat is not actually lower, although
the tendency is that way and the market
is weak; futures were weaker. Barley is
lower for feed descriptions; brewing quota
tons are nominal; options have declined
considerably. No changes in Oats and lit
tie inquiry; none arrived to-day. Large
Yellow Corn shows more strength; though
no higher; Small Yellow and White are
weak.
Strictly fancy Apples are shade higher
receipts of Apples to-day were 1880 boxes,
Of which a quantity go into storage About
300 boxes or Oranges arrived to-day; the
market is not very active and prices are
unchanged. Mandarin Oranges are firmer;
few on the market.
No changes in Butter and Cheese, but the
markets continue in the previously noted
weak state, particularly on Butter of med
ium and low grades. Both ranch and store
Eggs have further declined; one quotation

brisk; car of Eastern Is offering.

How Two Girls Made Money.

"A country girl who is determined to
go to Paris to study art is laying
aside for this purpose each dollar she
has earned" writes Ruth Ashmore in
an article on THE Girl In the Country, p"
in the Ladies Home Journal" "She
found that there was no one else in the
village who could make as good bread
and biscuit as she; that those who had
to buy complained of the baker S
bread. She made no effort at sending
her bread to a Woman's Exchange,
as she knew that such places were al
ways overstocked, but she went through
her own town-a very small one-and
asked for orders. She is making money
because there has never been sad
loaf of bread or heavy biscuit sent
out from her kitchen. She will supply
a neighbor with hot biscuits at tea
time, and she has learned to make
dainty rusk, especially for invalids,
who enjoy these light, sweet dainties
Her prices are reasonable.
Another girl, ambitious to gain
something, got her father to let her
have a bit of ground, and to give her
the money that he would otherwise
have bestowed upon her for wedding
dress. With this she was able to buy
plants and to hire a boy to help her,
and during the summer while the
boarding houses around demanded
them, she served the freshest of rad
ashes, the crispest Of lettuce, the earli-
est corn and the largest tomatoes; and
she says now that she thinks she will
double the size of her garden next sum-
mer"

Conquering Sllyness.

Another most important change was
passing In me at about this time; the
sudden development of social aptitudes
hitherto dormant. AS an overgrown
boy for was six feet tall at III had
experienced all the agonies Of bashful-
ness in the society of the other sex,
though greatly attracted to it I find
1T difficult to convince my associates of
later years that l then habitually sat
mute while others chartered. A word or
two Of remonstrance from my mother
had in a single day corrected this, dur
ing my senior year. so far as the family
table was concerned, and this embold-
ened me TO try the experiment on a
wider field. / said to myself. thinking
of other young men who made them
selves quite agreeable, These youths
are not your uperiors-perhaps in the
recitation room or ON the playground
hardly your equals; why not cope with
them elsewhere?" Thus influenced, 1
conquered myself in single evening
and lost my shyness forever. The pro-
cess was unique, 50 far as l know, and
i have often recommended it to shy
young men.-T. w. Higginson in the
Atlantic

Therefore, Be it resolved that spe-

and to report it's findings to this House.
DUCKWORTH DEMURS.

amendment when Duckworth, who
was ait his desk, desired to make a
statement to the House. The Speaker
asked permission, but several objected
Duckworth, very pale, said: Il ask per-
mission to make this statement. 1t Is
imperative and vital to the issue" But
North and others objected and the per-
mission was denied.
Melick of the Committee on Re-
trenchment said that while he did not
seek the unpleasant duty of invest1ga-
ton which Leavitt's motion took out
of the hands of his committee, yet had
it been imposed upon them they would
have performed it unflinchingly.
THE CHIEF CLERK ILL.
While Melick was speaking Duck
worth was noticed to be i'll; he yielded
his place to an assistant clerk, and
AssemblyInan Keables, who is a physi-
clan, came to his aid. Duckworth suf-
fered for some time from an attack OF
acute gastritis brought ON by intense
nervous excitement, but was finally re-
Eeved by DIR. Keables' administrations
and left the Assenbly-room accom-
panied by his wife, who had been pres
emf during the proceedings,
ADOPTION AND ADJOURNMENT.
Meantime Leavitt's resolution, as
amended by North, was adopted by the
House, and the Speaker announced
that he would announce the special
committee of seven on Monday.

Careless Breeding Stopped.

Breeders of Jersey cattle must re-
member that the new rule about "bred
in pasture" says that don't go, says
Home and Farm. If you want to regis
ter a calf that was born nine months
after May 1, 1897, you must give the
exact day of service. Bulls arc no
longer allowed to run with the cows
in the pasture provided you want to
register the calves. This will be a de-
cided hardship to those who have COWS
pastured at a distance and to poor
men who work away from the COWS
it will be so hard to tell just when they
need the bull. This new rule will
break up one very bad practice that 1
have seen two instance Of lately
that is, running an old bull and a
young one together in the field with the
cows. The rule, of course, is to attri-
butte all the services to the old bull,
which is taking great liberties with the
rights of the Jersey Cattle club, to say
nothing of the chances of giving a
purchaser the wrong pedigree. Such
~recklessness in breeding is absolutely
criminal, and yet I have seen two men
who stand we'll with their neighbors
guilty Of this act within the past
month. You must get up your bulls
and build stalls for them with a small
lot or paddock attached. This is the
sensible way to breed, anyway, so that
you know when the coy is due, and you
can feed, dry her off and generally han
die her with some intelligence. Be-
sides, every man ought to s a bull
that is so good that neighbors for
miles around will send their cows to
him, for a fee, Of course, ranging from
81 to IS; in some instances a great
deal higher, and enough to pay the
cost of keeping the bull. You want
your. bull in hand for this work, so
everyone will not turn in to him and
neglect to pay.

Tho Cattle Trade.

If there Is anything in the signs OF
the times, says Live Stock Indicator,
they certainly warrant the conclusion
that the cattle business is undergoing
q very general and genuine revival.
From the standpoint of the breeder the
prospects are better than they have
been for years, nor is the encourage
ment entirely in prospect merely, since
the sales that are taking place from
%tinuous stiffening of prices with a very
marked Increase in demand. All the
beef breeds are bringing good figures
fer cattle of both sexes and all ages.
Market cattle of good quality and fin
ish are alao doing we'll for their feed
ers, while the cheap stuff without
breeding or capacity for taking a fin
ish are losing about as much money
for their owners as usual. The mar
ket conditions all declare with renew
ed emphasis that there, is a profit In
good cattle and little or none In scrub
"pick-ups." The range outlook is very
promising losses during the winter
having been kept fairly low, and while
the number to be marketed will be
short, the quality is such as to afford
competition of a pretty active kind for
good native cattle in July, when the
range season opens. The feed condl-
tions On the ranges will be quite favor
able, and the rather limited number
that will run on them will have a ten
dency to send them to market in very
superior condition. The range cattle
men have been for the past two or
three years paying large and increas-
ing attention to their breeding. They
don't regard anything as too good for
them, and it would surprise most read
ers If they did but know how large has
been the number of car loads Of pure
bred bulls that have gone West this
season. This policy is having a very
decided effect upon the cattle that, will
come from the ranges this season, and,
as each season passes, the impress of
pure blood will become stronger, so
that in the future, in all years when
they have feed On their ranges, they
may be expected to be strong COMPETE
tors with the market cattle grown on
the farms.
