GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Wheat-There
was another runaway market today ,
not caused by cables, which were
I-Sd lower at Liverpool for May
while the Paris market showed u
moderate advance. Bradstreet's b
clearances for the week we're 8, $780, :
600 bushels; primary receipts, 357, 900
against 239, 900 last year. The news
of the day was contained in an inter
view with Letter in a morning paper
to the effect that he had closed ocean
freight contracts for almost million
bushels and had sold the wheat to
foreign consumers. This, when it
was noised abroad, created uneasi-
ness on the part of shorts and finally
stampede to cover, especially as
the drop in English consols, caused
by a small African war cloud, added
an impetns. May sold at 1O9c and
July at "a 1-2c. The erratic condi
ton of the May wheat fluctuations
today two months in advance of ma
turity, is causing caution regarding
that option especially, and the sug-
gestion is made that trades hereafter
kept in that future should be very
well margined in advance. Some
commission merchants, we under
stand, are already refusing orders
in 1t.
Corn - The country offerings of
cash today were small and the feature
speculatively was the return of some
of the bull interests who sold out on
the previous swell and desired to get
in again when the strength in wheat
began to manifest itself, and May
advanced to 81 1-2c.
Oats-Msrket firm, sympathizinR
with other grains. Cash oats con-
tinue strong and all arrivals are
quickly taken.
Provisions-The market was steady
to strong, strength in grain having
its influence in this, and the receipts
of hogs not being large, while the
prospects for next week run light.
Cash trade was fair. Estimated hogs
for Monday, $4,000; for all next
week, 165, 900.
CHICAGO MARKET.
The range of valuIs in the grain
and provision markets in Chicago
today was as follows:

COTTON.

New York, Feb. Disappointing
cables had effect of depressing local
operations at the opening. The gen.
eral outlook as regard the American
Spain question and European politi-
cal situation produces rather an
uneasy feeling and the lower ten
dency in stocks also encouraged
Bears, with Liverpool prominent in
the selling. The volume of business
was light and of the usual Saturday
character fluctuations, not exceeding
four points. The close showed four
points net decline. Liverpool was
quiet but steady for spots at un-
changed prices. Port receipt for the
day estimated at 10000 bales against
IA 900 last and 1900 in 1895. Indica-
tions are If large interior receipts

Whitmore Lake, Mich, Jan. 12-The
inquest on the two victims of the ice
house disaster was begun this after
noon. Hon. A. j. Sawyer appeared for
the ice company; Lehman & Stivers, for
the Oscar O'connor estate; Selden 5.
Miner, of Owosso, for the injured and
manned workmen who live at that
place; Thos. Kearney, for VIM. Baum
gardner, and Judge Babbitt, of Ypsi-
lanti, for Geo. Martin. DR.. Lemon
testified that O'Connor met his death
from broken neck. but could not say
exactly what injury was the cause of
Morrey. s death.
John Todd, who had charge of the la
borers, testified that during the time of
construction the building had been
braced. He said that the braces had
been removed on the west side, but the
building did not collapse till half an hour
afterwards. He said that he had asked
if the braces could be removed so that
the west room could be graveled. He
testified that Foreman John Mcbride
gave the order to remove the braces.
Todd said that he thought there was
more green than seasoned wood in the
building. He said that the corner posts
of the buildings were spliced, both green
and seasoned lumber being used. All
the braces had been removed when the
building collapsed. Todd said that
several persons heard Mcbride give the
order.

The Rent Collector and the Difficulties He
Encounters There.
Slum property apparently has it's
drawbacks, though it is generally re-
garded as the most profitable, for most
of the owners do not as rule allow
such trifles as repairs to reduce the
amount of the rents.
"This work is breaking up my nerv-
Gus system" said man who has been
collecting rents for years in some of the
worst slums. II am really beginning
to feel that shall meet my death at it.
"Much i'll feeling of which I am the
victim is engendered between landlord
and tenant over the question of repairs.
1t does not pay to be always repairing
such broken down property, though Of
course repairs are always being asked
for, and some people have decidedly
unpleasant manner of trying to impress
on me the necessity for such.
"They are continually alluring me
into all sorts Of undesirable traps.

up a dark staircase in which a few
boards were broken and loose, and the
woman who had asked me to walk up
calmly told me to get my master to
have it mended. If there is dark, rick

Of my wits by my head coming in con-
tact with some hanging paper and plas-
ter which had fallen from passage cell
ing and was suspended by very mea-
ger support.
"In addition to all this the tenants,
when they hear I am about, put pals of
water and broom handles in the dark
passages may traverse, besides making
other preparations for bestowing similar
delicate attentions on me.
"Only recently a woman asked me to
come and look at the awful state Of re-
pair of one of her rooms. She took me
to large cupboard and opened it and
the corpse of man tumbled into the
room. 1t was only her poor, dear hus-
band, she said, whom she had slowed
there for convenience till the coffin ar
rived. Of course she had put him there
only to give me a pleasant little sur
prise, and she was so successful that a
doctor advised me to lay up for week.
Sometimes a brick or two will be
aimed at my head without my being
able to discover whence it came, and 1
have just had an interview with man
who showed me a broken window
through which he had showed his wife's
head backward and forward by way Of
chastisement, and he expressed what
exquisite delight he would take in doing
the same to me if the window was not
soon mended.
"All this is quite apart from the
trouble I have in obtaining money. -

Ian MaoIaren on Scott.

"Scott was all gold, and even the
nuggets are not enough; the gravel
ought to be sifted and the gold dust
gathered in, for Scott had such an afflu-
ence of knowledge, legend and poetry
that he did not write by measure, but
put his hand into his pocket and threw
out money that any might pick it up.
What one is afraid of is that Scott is
being raised to the elevation of q classic,
and that is the same thing as taking a
man out of the house of commons, where
he is an active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion of the house of
lords. do not know a single page of
Scott that is not readable, and l do not
know a single page that would shake a
mans faith or bring blush to wom-
ans cheek. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought to? Some say that he
is not interesting, and others object to
his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought
the charge against Scott that he was
amusing. Amusing! One of the grand
est functions of fiction is to be amusing
in the right sense-that of lifting up
the weight and care of daily life from
mems minds by leading them into re-
gions of sentiment and romance"

Hounding Celebrities.

DIR. Paul GARNER, French specialist
in lunacy, has been giving some infor-
nation about the insane men and wom-
ell who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has to
send two or three women of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known of the cases by the public. Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
in the newspapers or who make good
speeches in the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. The latter
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their jealous admirers. In some
instances women have gone to the the
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire
at them, but for some reason or other
have failed to carry out their purpose.
AS to actresses, DR.. GARNER states that
their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-
merous. Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care
fully. Her worshipers secrete them
selves in all sorts of places in order to
see her enter or leave her theater or her
residence. The special detectives have
had to interfere on two noted occasions
in order to save the famous actress from
the bullets or the daggers Of maniacs
who resolved to injure or kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their fiat
teries and passionate declarations of
love.
