CHICAGO GRAM MARKET.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Wheat opened quite
strong at a sharp advance over last night, De-
cernber starting lie higher at 65Aq65ssc. For
an hour the bulls were disposed to crowd their
advantage and bulish news came thick and
fast It was noticeable, however, that the
market was making little Roadway, and in view
of its action yesterday there was a suspicion
of further Improvement, but quiet seIIng.
Though prices were higher the market did not
have the same power of absorption that was
a feature during the advance yesterday. The
fact that many people were overloaded acted
as danper on the market This claim was
as a rule disposed to sell all hard spots.
Lord Roseberry's warIike speech, advance of
AG11sd at Liverpool, reported record breaking
sales of -four at Minneapolis G8O,0OO barrels,
an advance of 10c per barrel in all leading
grades of -four reported sales of 240, 900 bushels
MORT engagenents at the seaboard all contributed
to the strength. After the first hours trading
the realizing natural to such advance be-
came too heavy for the market to sustain The
evident that 1t had been oversold. Covering
by shorts caused q rally to Csc and very little
reaction from that figure followed. The close
for December was at an advance of 12Q9sc on
the day.
There was a big general trade in corn early.
The market in general way synpathized with
wheat but was helped also by bullish country
advices and large export sales. December
gained A414c.
oats were strong all day. The strength Of
wheat was the main factor May advanced &c.
Provisions showed improvement, both in tone
and in the volume of trading Colder weather
be checked an incentive TO buy and prices
advanced all around. The best prices were
not maintained, however, realizing being quite
free at times. The close 211@713c higher
for the day.
The leading futures ranged as follows;

PHoToGRAPHING ANIMALS.

lone of the most difficult brutes to pho
tograph is the monkey" said a man in
New York who makes a business of tax
ing the pictures of all sorts of animals
and birds to a Star reporter. You may
try as much as you like, but you will new
er succeed in making a monkey look
straight into the center Of a camera for
even a second It's glance always shifts
off to one side Of the other. Nor Will it
ever catch your eye full or fix its own
upon yours, and / have come to the con-
clusion that a monkey cannot look at a
camera any more than it can a human
being in the face.
Take dogs head in your two hands
and look into It's eyes. The beast will re-
turn your gaze, not for long perhaps, for
the contemplation of human intelligence
distresses all animals. But it is not so
with the monkey. Hold its head as pa
tiently as you please between your hands
and 1t will cast its eyes up to the ceiling
and keep on winking or cast them down
to the floor as If asleep or twist them
around in a most absurd fashion to look
over to one side or the other, but never
even passing by 1t, will 1t catch yours.
"Why Is this? 1 don't know, unless 1t
is that the animal has some secret regard
ing our own origin that 1t does not wish
us to find out. However. If they are bash
full they are very inquisitive, and If ]
were to leave my camera unguarded for
ten minutes in a cage containing a dozen
monkeys half the family would be busy
taking photographs of the other hail.

EASTERN NUT MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The Journal of Com
merce says: An unusually short supply of
nearly all supplies of foreign and domestic
production is reported this year. and a re-
suit the market is strong, with advancing
tendency. The California almond crop is re-
ported to be almost a complete failure this
year and as there were no old goods carried
over the market both here and the coast is
bare for the first time in a number of years.
The scarcity extends to shelled goods and is
particularly noticeable in Sicily. which are re-
ported to be very difficult TO obtain in any po-
sition and are in active demand at rapidly adj
scarce as other varieties, but are held firmly,
though not moving very freely. In the walnut
market conditions closely analogous to
those prevailing in almonds.

This change in the rate surprised the market
generally. 1t is believed that politics Is the
cause Of the rise in the rate but have rea-
son to believe that a more potent FACTOR Is the
endeavor to suppress repetition OF the gfo"I n
of German financial bills in this market II
the bank rate had not been changed IN me
open market rates would have given away con-
siderably 1t is also learned that the bank is
taking steps to make the present rate effective

any firm tendency to-day. New York buying
