CHICAGO, Sept. 3-Enormous receipts of

Pork is off 221zc and lard and ribs 711c each.
Nearly everything was against the price
of wheat. The heat was so intense that it
seriously curtailed trade. In addition Liv-
erpool cables were weak. and receipts in the
Northwest continued to increase at rapid
rate. Longs got Disguised and sold freely of
wheat that cost more money than was pro-
durable at any time to-day. The fact that
the New York Produce Exchange was closed
prevented the execution of any shipping
business, and as all exchanges will be closed
here Monday, traders feared they might
have to face very heavy receipts both here
and in the Northwest Tuesday morning.
Minneapolis and Duluth markets were very
weak and helped to create the heavness
prevailing here. Some wheat was said to
have been bought at Minneapolis by Chi
cago house and sold here at profit for Sep
TENDER delivery. Chicago receipts were 299
cars, of which only were up to contract
grade. The number of cars received at Min
neapolis and Duluth was 901 compared with
40S year ago. The market continued to

The corn situation was not deprived of any
of its previous bulish features but the
market, after short spell of comparative
strength became weak. The decline in
wheat was the most striking of the various
reasons to which the late heaviness in
corn was ascribed. December began I'M

LEE AND SKATER.
One Is Blessed with n Sense of HUI
NOR, the other Not.
Boston Transcrint.


No one has heard that General Fitzhugh
Lee has tecn put in any dungeon at WASH
ington for answering with joke the War
Department official notification to him that
the war was over. Perhaps General Lee is
the only man in the service who could safe
~ Jest with the United States government
certainly carried the right TO shy a small
brick of satire at Washington. He was des-
lgnated by common consent to be the hero
of the war. the avenger of the wrongs Of
Cuba, the humber OF the naughty CaStilian,
the perfect Paladin of American chivalry.
so he was sent. first, to the Tampa Bay
Hotel, to sit in the center of group OF
Cuban girls, and then he was packed of to
another first-class-or nearly sO-hotel in
Jacksonville, which the Listener has for
gotten the name of. TO fan himself there
through the sweet Floridian summer days.
Meantime, another Southerner. Gen. Wheel
er. was distinguishing himself in actual
consoled with the implied promise of COM
handing a campaign which everybody
got the word definitely that his campaign
was not coming off, Gen. Lee telegraphed
to Washington that his corps had ceased
firing and everybody smiled arniaby.
General Lee has a sense of humor. He
had already perceived that. though he had
at the beginning of the war been the most
popular American, he was at the end or
it, quite lost sight Of For notoriety he is
not TO be mentioned on the same day with
he has a sense of humor and is able to see
the matter in its amusing aspect. General
Shafter. who is now the nominal hero of
Cuba, has no sense of humor. There are a
great many things that he does which he
would not do if he had a sense of humor.
1t is not likely, for that reason, that he
will appreciate the amusing and quite in
nocent caricature of him by Bengough in
the last Harper's Weekly, in which he is
represented as driving a refractory mule in
his blackboard. If Lee were as kindly
caricatured he would enjoy the thing as
much as anyone else. AS it is, we may ex-
pect to. see not only Bengough, but all the
Harper's Weekly people, including Rem
ington himself, forbidden entrance to Athe
lines of the Fifth Corps or any other COM
mand that General Shafter may ever have.
Bengough, by the way, was already under
the ban, as a New York Journal man. But
Journal or no Journal, he is a clever fellow.
and too good-hearted naturally to hurt any
ones feelings. There is one man repre-
sented in that same cartoon who has a
sense of humor and who will not be angry.
That is Lieutenant Miley-who is as tall
and lean as Shafter is short and fat. IL
Shafter had had any sense of humor he
never would have chosen Lieutenant Miley
