New York. June 0.-Stock values gen-

Of important fractions In the standard

sidsrabiy greater In some Of the special
ties. AT the opening tho bears attempted
to repeat their successes Of last week
and In the irst quarter Of an hour
brought about = recession In the prices
Of some leading spsciaities. but the rail-
ways showed resistance to the selling
movement.
The early weakness Of wheat n .
rather fsatureless tone OF London gave no
decided Iced to the market. and then the
anticipated announcement Of the arrival
Of the American army at Santiago and
Manila was net forthcoming. The eam-
ings OF the railways for the second week
Of June generally showed increases.
There was evidence Of heavy purchases
by houses representing substantial inter-
ests. which quickly steadied the market
and eventually brought about advances
well above Saturdays closing. although
reaiizations at times retarded the improv-
ing tendency.
Covering in the srangers was partly at
tributsd to the clear weather ovsr .

was partly credited to the inability OF the
bear faction to bring about liquidation
and the closing was strong.
The BON market was very dull and OPP

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
How the Ceiestials Make Economy Thsi,
Lodestone.

The spirit of economy in the Chinese
race transcends all hat can be imag-
ined. The smallest particle of matter
Ii utilized. The old CASTOR account
boob of the merchant Is cut into pieces
and oiled to serve instead OF glass In
windows. A coolie who has nae a six
hours march with a heavy burden will
return to his point Of departure with
out having broken his fast. In order to
save the two cents his breakfast would
have cost away from home. Nothing
IL more curious than to see them eat.
although. with their famous chopsticks,
they do not perform all the wonderful
feats generally supposed. Everything
Is served them In bowls. or saucers.
and with the chopsticks they raise the
pieces of meat or fish to the mouth,
with sufficient grace. Each one has a
bowl of rice. which he holds near his
lips, and with the aid of the chopstick
he pushes the contents into his mouth.
II Is very curious to see them pick up
with their chopsticks the grains of rice
that fall on the ground. The children
arr taught this art from their earliest
years; nothing must be lost. not even
the smallest grain. What remains of
the repast In put carefully ava to be
served at another meal. Their dogs
and cats are not overfed. a. the scraps
from the table are rare.

preston OF those qualities of the hear
which render the person who desires to
be polite agreeable to those with whom
he Is thrown. The Chinese ooh upon
the matter from an entirely different
standpoint. The same sentiment which
accords Importance to the preservation
Of dignity regulates his actions as re-
CARDS politeness. Here II an example
of their politeness: A Chinese, arrayed
In his most beautiful costume, who pre-
scented himself at a house. disturbed a
rat who was enjoying himself In a Jar
of oil. The rat, in his flight, over
turned the jar upon the visitor. whose
dress was ruined. While the unfortu-
nate, visitor was still pale with rage.
his host entered the apartment. and,
after the usual s~alutation. he. visitor
explained his misadventure: "As I en-
tered your honorable apartment ! had
the misfortune to alarm you honorable
rat. which. in taking Night. overturned
your honorable Jar of oil upon my mis-
cradle and insignificant clothing. which
explains the contemplate condition in
which you find me in your honorable
presence"

Chinese offers you a present. is the
most difficult thing In the world. Ger

Higher Prices for Stoves

On Sept. LIST the leading stove manufac-
turers of the country will make material
advance in the prices of their products,
according to the Globe-Democrat of st.
Louis. The old quotations have been with
drawn, and a general advance Of per cent
on all grades Of stoves has been decided
ON. The manufacturers say that the pre-
vailing low prices In connection with the
Increased cost of production. together with
the general improvement In business contid-
lions, warrant the advance. Since 1893 the
prices Of stoves have BEEN lower in pro-
portion than any other article Of manu-
facture. Owing to the greatly increased
purchasing capacity Of the country, large
demand and advance In cost Of material,
the manufacturers say they have found 1t
necessary to make moderate advance in
prices. They also say that this may be fol-
lowed BY a still further advance should the
present conditions continue. The move
ment Is general throughout the country,
and is not confined to any locality or on
any particular class Of stoves, A few of
the stove manufacturers have not agreed
to Join the movement advancing prices,
and they maintain that they will still sell
at the old price. The majority, however,
are In the movement, and say they do not
fear the effect of having a few competitors
left on the outside.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Llverpool, before the
opening here, showed declines In wheat of
Nd. for September and Nd. for December,
which was sufficient to account for lower
prices at the start. More confidence was
expressed by the traders. however, when
they observed how little wheat was for sale
at the reduction, and how much appeared
to be wanted. The northwestern receipts
were sufficiently liberal to keep the bullish-
ness from taking a very firm hold pf the
crowd, but there were fewer expressions
Of bearishness to be heard. New York re-
ported early In the day that foreign de-
mand there for wheat for shipment was
more active than for some time previous.
1t was partly because of the improved ex-
port demand, but perhaps more on account
of the early bullishness of corn, that Sep
TENDER and December wheat at Chicago
quickly recovered the slight dip it made at
the opening. Cash wheat was easy at about
h@1o decline for the contract grade. and
lower grades at about yesterdays prices
to shade higher.
The growing conviction of short crop,
which 1s being at present clinched into an
assurance Of poor yield by the continued
high temperature, strengthened corn.
Prominent bulls bought heavily, and the
efforts made by the shorts to cover were
hardly less active. There was some recess
sion from the top near the close, caused
by realizing and liberal estimates for to-
morrow. September closed hQAc higher
than yesterday.
