GkAIN ANp PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July 9.-Liverpool mar
ket better, September advancing sd
and Paris quoted at 15 to 25 centimes
higher. Antwerp, however, 20 to 35
centimes lower. Weather in Eng
land was improved, but is poor in
Danubian province with threatened
deterioration unless brighter wealth
er returns soon. The recent weather
in Germany and Sweden has also
been unsatisfactory, but advices
from Russia are of fine outlook aud
for large yield. Foreigners bou2 ht
moderately in this country, mostly
for continental account. Receipts
at st. Louis was small, but advices
from a reliable miller in Southern
Illinois are to the effect that with
favorable weather, which is the ease
at present st. Louis will from now
on get more than enough to supply
her needs. Weather was pleasant
generally north and southwest, but
rains are predicted for Kansas and
Nebraska tonight. Michigan crop
report favorable. indications are
probable yield of % 1-2 million with
harvest two weeks earlier than usual.
While South Dakota bureau showed
fine prospects, and for 4 harvest ten
US to two weeks earlier than aver
age. The government report will be
issued Monday next at O'Clock
eastern time. There seems little in
the situation or in the need of trade
to make any definite move at pres
ent, and we look for a scalping mar
ket rather active under moderate
limitations.
COrn-Liverpool 1-8d lower and
market has ruled steady. Kansas
City reports country offerings as free
and a decline in market there. Fol
some time, buyers will be absent a1C
u decline of some little amount may
be the result.
Oats-Our advices from Iowa, re
garding the crop show they are il
good average condition. Market hal
moved steady with some liquidation
Provisions-Were rather weak
hog receipts at western points $50
against 80, 900 while they over raj
here, estimates for Monday 35, ,0n0
Some liquidation would seem to b.
in order and on the break we believ,
they are good property.

Henry drady's Advice 20 Young rIen

Henry Grady's Advice 70 Young nen.
Never gamble. Of all the
vices that enthrall men this is
the worst, the strongest and
most insidious. Outside the
morality of it. it is the pooresi
bnsiness and the poorest fun.
No man is sure that plays at
all. 1t is easier never to play.
I never knew a man. a gentle
man. or a man of business who
did not regret the time and
money wasted at it. A man
who plays poker is unfit for any
other business on earth.
Never drink. | love liquor
and love the fellowship involved
in drinking My safety has
been | never drank at all. 1t is
much easier not to drink at all
than to drink little. If | had
to attribute what | have done
IN life to any one thing, should
attribute it to the fact that | am
a teetotaler. As sure as you
are born it is the best and safest
way.
If you never drink and never
gamble and marry early. there
is no limit to the useful anG
Distinguished life you may live
You will be the pride of YOU
fathers heart and the joy o.
your mothers. | don't know
if there is any happiness OF
q,rth worth having outside o
the happiness of knowing tina
you have done your duty ant
tried to do good. You try t.
build up. There are Away
plenty of others who will d
tb tearing down that is neces
sary. You try to live in tn
sunshine. Men who stay III tn
shade always get mildewed.

some being unchanged and others
one higher. The Weekly Chronicle
report was quite favorable but still

al to developments, the next few
weeks serves to hold both sides in
check. Sma1 trading took place at
the opening. The port receipts were

shows little snap and until there is a
decided change in weather condi-

Liverpool sold only 1000 spots with

The Real National AR OF the South
It is a strange thing to me. y
said an ex-Confederate soldier.
that so few people know what
the real national air Of the south
is. Most everybody in the North
looks upon that lively little tune,
best known as Dixie as the
Southern national air. But it
is fact that it was written by
a Northern man. both words
and music. as Way Down
South III Dixie might easily in-
dicate. The national air of the
South is The Mocking Bird
and it was so adopted by AEON
federate Congress. "-Washing-

NO BACK down.
HhG'"rd Persists In Her Drunnnd ror
Opening thn Port OF tn. s.irn. Nuu

London, Feb 3.-On incOn .roycrtibIe
authority the Associated Press learns
mat Great Britain has not backed
aowh on the question OF making ia
lien-Wan free port. The Marquis OF
salisbury, Mr.. Curzon, the Parliamen-
thry Secretary nf the Foreign Ollica:
the Russian Amba ssador and the Chi
nese Minister each said yesterday, in
conversation, that they had not heard
OF any back Gown.
The opening Of Ta-Lien-Wan. it is
pointed out, was never made a cond;-
tlon. In any sine qua non sense. in
connection with the loan to China
LII the preliminary negotiations on that
subject the opening of Ta-Licn- Wan
was 'skctched in neutral tints," Great
hriiaih only suggesting II as one con-
uitlon laVoring speedy completion OF
the lean. She never demanded it and
therefore, III no sense can be said to
nave backed down, il the desire was
not persisted In. The question of Ia
Lien Wan is. however, with other sug-
Gested conditions Of the loan, still
negotiating
