ON 'CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The features in
the dealings in today's brief session of the
Stock Exchange was the extraordinary
gyrations of consolidated stock. The stock
had been comparatively steady about 240
since it's jump Of 20 points early in the
week. But it took a violent fall today of
over 10 points from the opening and
jumped up and down ON the recovery like
boiling water in glass tube. The fluctua-
! tons on the down grade were as high as
three points between consecutive sales and
jumped over several points at a time in a
most erratic and unstable manner. The
stock closed at 233, net decline Of 6. Its
eccentric movement served to unsettle the
whole market and discouraged trading
generally. The market sagged somewhat.
There was an undertone of heaviness in
| the speculation all day whatever strength
was apparent being in spots, though not al
ways with special causes to account for 1t.
The indications supplied by the bank state
ment that rates for money would rise
| further in the future served as check on
speculation and helped the decline in the
final hour. Manhattan suffered a sharp
decline of 2A on the authoritative denial
Of any projected transfer to surface rail-
way interests and of any projected change
in motive power. The coalers reacted
somewhat from yesterdays advance. Del
| aware and Hudson rose 11a, but losing prac-
tically all the gain. Chicago Great West
ern manifested strength in its August
statement, and Burlington was carried
above st. Paul, but closed fraction be-
low. Union Pacific was under pressure of
London, selling to realize after yesterdays
heavy buying. The close showed prices
generally below last nights close.
The confidence of the bears that the long
delayed reaction was due has been aug
mented from time to time this week and
short interest has shown itself in some
what aggressive moods several times. The
bears were not much encouraged by their
efforts Monday and on Tuesday they were
routed as a result of the sharp fall in ex-
change and the prediction that a gold i'm
port movement would Immediately set in.
| For the rest of the week the markSt was
extremely irregular and sharp adyhnces
occurred in different stocks through the
list while other leading stocks REM &ned
at an unchanged level. Some of the 1nost
remarkable advances have been welx re-
tanned and the level of the market isEe-
cidedly higher than week ago.

There is good ground for the argument that
prices have advanced to a higher level

on New York or English account. although
English realization on the high priced
shares continues and cheap shares are still
bought here. Those who are most san
guine about Americans are apparently of
the idea that America is to run London
out of the stocks. Hence the best key to
the position is furnished at each settle

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Wheat continued in
the direction of the downward impetus
given to 1t yesterday. December closed
yesterday at 92A, and opened today at from
917s down to 91%. 1t barely touched 80 a
second later, and then began rolling over
and over down hill until it got to 81, which
point 1t reached about an hour from the
opening. The Liverpool market came in
line with the decline here. showing the fol-
lowing declines In figYes: September, I'D
October, I'D, and December, 15sd per Genital.
With the temper of the leaders of the local
spectators strongly inclined to the bear
side, the decline at Liverpool was all the
further encouragement they needed to at
tack the market afresh, and during the
early morning they did SO with a ven
geance. The clearance Of wheat and flour
from both coasts for the week, as reported
by Bradstreet's was the heaviest but one
in any week in the statistical recollection.
They amounted to the grand total Of $685.
600 bushels Beerbohm's cabled that the
worlds shipments for the week to Europe
would probably be found to amount to
100000 bushels, but in view Of the heavy
American shipments the figures are ex-
pected to be considerably larger. Argen-
tina reported no wheat this week, and ac-
cording to accounts that country is en-
gagged in vigorous contest with locusts
to enable 1t to get some to ship after Janu-
ary next. Chicago receipts for the day
were 246 cars; Minneapolis and Duluth got
1143 cars, compared with 1885 a year ago.
The Atlantic ports exports for the day
equalled 745.0OO bushels in wheat and flour,
5S1 900 bushels being in the raw grain.
The decline to 81 satisfied the bear con-
tingent for the time, but when they tried
to buy in short wheat at that they found
few sellers. The Paris market came in
with a slight advance at the close. The
result was scramble among both bulls
and bears and those who previously were
bears for the limited offerings. Under such
a competition the price rapidly recovered
and shot up to 92s4, and it rested at 921a.
Corn was active. There was some liqui-
dation, enough to cause y decline while
wheat was weakest, but the market as
whole was stronger than expected.
Oats sympathized with corn, and ruled
weak from the start, but became firm to-
ward the end.
Speculative business in provisions was
not heavy, but the tone was strong. Shorts
covered actively and as offerings were
light, prices moved upward easily.

Home Ways Of Summer Life Among the
Miksdos People.
Gardens excepted, there are no out

Of japanese life so remarkable as those
summer houses occupying all the pic
turesque sites Of the country. Wherever
there is view worth going to see you
will almost certainly find summer
house built to command 10, no matter
how wild or poor the district.
You will find summer houses cling
ing to sea cliffs over the thunder Of
breakers, nesting i'll shadows of gorges
over the roaring of rapids, strutted out
over the precipice fronts like eagles
nests at the verge of dead craters, for
in Japan there will always be summer
guests wherever there is summer beauty,
travellers happy to please their eyes
and rest their feet and to leave some
coppers in payment for the privilege of
the vision and the repose.
The summer house at which l am
now staying is typical Of the class. a
skeleton structure of two stories, simply
and strongly built after the manner Of
PEASANTS dwellings and at cost Of

the other side Of japan such build
ing could not be put up for $500. 1t

overlooks little bay near ancient
Moinoseki. From ground floor to roof
it is open on three sides, and on the
seaward side shelter from the sun and

cliff below, but towering far above the
eaves-enormous pines. with branches
many feet in pirth. Between the zig
Gags of those mighty limbs there are
glimpses of the sen and fishing sails
(canvns or straw fitting like white or
yellow butterflies, and the far pale
thread line of the Hoki coast, and Dia-
sens cone thrusting into the clear sky
like some prodigious blue crystal. or,
looking directly down over the needle
foliage of younger pines, you see the
