CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO. Aug. S.--Higher cables and
small receipts started wheat half cent
above the price 1t closed Saturday. Sell
ers at the advance were so numerous,
however, that the buying orders in the
market at that time were immediately
heavy volume after this demand was satis
fled that a quick decline set in, knocking
one cent a bushei off the opening figures.
The change from so much strength at the
opening to its succeeding weakness was
due to the selling Of long wheat by heavy
traders who anticipated a freer movement
in the near future from first hands: They
knew that If they waited for its realization
Of their holdings at any such prices.
Among the reasons for continued weak
ness were heavy estimated receipts for to-
morrow and some crop reports of bearish
character. The shipping demand has even
bean more urgent than at any time during
the previous weeks advancing market. Az

TAUGHT HIM A TRICK
A Dealer Pays Dear for Lesson In
Sorting

"Fairest side to Boston," suggested 4
young man, who stood watching the pro-
prietor of downtown fruit stand who was
engaged in repacking a case of strawber-
ries, placing the small and decayed ones
in the bottom of the boxes, the large and
luscious ones on top.
1--WE have to do that, young fellow" was
the reply. Everybody expects to be cheat
ed little, and hate to disappoint them"
Come. now" said the loiterer, as he
approached the stand. II worked last sea-
son in South Watershed store and can
show you a trick that will double your
profits
II don't see how II can be done, for I'm
a pretty close figurer myself. What do you
want for the pointer?'
I'll take box of berries. The secret Is
this: You want to grade your fruit" The
young man emptied six boxes upon the
stand and rapidly filled one of them, select
Ing the larger berries. "Out of 24-box ca sc
you cam get four boxes that you can sell
for 10 cents each. See?'
"And how Will I dispose of the other 60
boxes?"
you'll have to consult a peddler on that
point; It's out Of my line. I'll take these, "
and the dispenser of South Water-stree,
secrets seized the box of selected fruit and
hurried around the corner-Chicago

Olive Oil

The New York Tribune discourses on
California olive oil as follows:
There Is a general growing demand In
all the markets Of our country for the Cali
fornia picked olive. The California olive
grower Is able to compete with the foreign
market in this direction, as the picked
olives admit of no adulteration; conse-
quently each stands on its own merits.
The superiority Of the California olive
has called attention to the California
olive oil, which Is as good as the picked
olive. Here the competition is difficult, as
the foreign oils are nearly all adulterated
Were they brought here pure they could
not be sold at the price the California oil
can be made for.
There Is reason to believe that the gov
eminent will do something for the protec-
ton of its home olive growers similar to
that which 1t has done for the prune, raisin
and orange growers. There are at this
present time 2600.000 olive trees in Califor-
MA and about three-fourths of these are
in Southern California. 1t is said that the
latter place can grow enough olive trees
to mako all the olive oil and picked olives
that this country can consume.
The California raisins. prunes and
oranges had to fighs for thel- recognition
in the United States. and even though the
superiority OF these was admitted, the gov
eminent had to lend some aid.
The pure olive OF! Is an excellent remedy
for stomach troubles. and Is also prescribed
by doctors for all diseases of the nerves. A
tablespoonful taken every night has been
known to effect a speedy cure in cases Of
chronic indigestion. The first taste may
not prove agreeable, but after few doses
one learns to like It..

Mutual Life Investigation

The commissioners Of insurance engaged
in conducting an investigation Of the ar
fairs Of the Mutual Life insurance COM
pany held an important meeting IN New
York August ID. The chief topic dis
cussed was a proposal 10 appraise the
value Of all real estate owned by the oom-
pany, or upon which loans had been made.
One or two of the commissioners suggested
that such course was necessary II the In
vestigation was to be thorough. Others
opposed the idea on the ground that the
companys real estate had been appraised
about one year ago, and there could be no
need of doing the work over again this
year.
The examination has now been In pro-
gress about three months. and as origin
ally outlined will cost the company, 1t Is
said, about $50, 600. Five or six insurance
commissioners, with deputies. and from
thirty to fifty assistants have been thus
far employed.
Should a reappraisal be made 1t would
involve great labor and much expense. The
company holds thousands of mortgages on
property in various sections Of the country.
and TO value each piece separately would
necessitate the employment Of many men.
The examination has attracted general at
tenttcn in insurance circles, and the pro-
posal to-day interested underwriters
greatly.

ON CHANGE
Conditions AZ Shown by Transactions
on Wall Etreet

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The stock market
today was under one of the hating pro-
cesses which Is usual In a strong advance.
Even When the general trend of prices is
upward for long period, the movement Is
very rarely uninterrupted. Halls and re-
actlons are normal processes even in
stronY market and are to be looked for
even In the continuance of favorable cond!-
lions. There waa such a halt for a. time
To-Day. and 1t looked as though the Ieae-
tion1sts had gained the upper hand Profit
taking began from the start in some of the
recent favoritss and held them back while
inc rest or the market was rising buoyaptly

commission houses during the Sunday In
terval. The volume of these orders was
large, and indicated growth Of confidence
by the outside powers In the value OF Sc
on the strength of this outside demand
caused a feeling OF doubt in the minds Of
room traders, and the rumor got into cir
culation that the large moneyed interests
which bought stock last week were selling
out The professional bears thereupon
rushed to sell about the time the accumu-
lated commission house orders had been
executed. The bears were also inclined to
take a skeptical view OF the reported &C
csptance by Spain Of the terms of peace
Earlier gains were wiped out IN practically

Of stocks began to be taken again, and be
fore the close there was almost complete
recovery. A number OF the industrials,
mailing stocks and some Of the iron and
steel companies. showed conspicuous adj
vances The late movement Of the market
Is likely to create the suspicion that the
reaction was looked upon complacently
by the moneyed men who have assumed
the leadership Of the market.
The pressure of funds for investment in
securities paying a fair rate of interest
and reasonably safe, gave continued
strength to bonds today. Total safes, ST.

About Company Promoters

The Mining and Scientific Press takes up
the often exploited question Of the mining
sharps and stock jobbing promoters, with
headquarters in London, who prey upon
the never failing shoal Of susceptible
gudgeons and who get fat upon the re-
suit Of their work. The Press says:
Some months ago great deal was said In
London journals about the way English
people were "swindled" by California min
ing sharps: in one instance 1t was stated
that all Engllshmen should think twice
before they invested shilling in any
American mining property. At that time
the matter was noted herein, one comunl-
cation on that subject saying 'if tho Eng
lish would look very closely they would
find, no doubt, several Englishmen under
the fence somewhere" and that they were
the fellows who loaded the mines upon
, their countrymen. 1t is we'll known by
everyone handling mines on the English
market that properties leave California
under bond, at fair, profitable and honest
figures. respecting value. but when they
appear in the English market. through a
"prospectus' and an incorporated COM
pany, limited, with earls, lords. etc. d.
rectors, with figures for shares $40 to 81 to
be paid for the property, and all SO grandly
gilded, that the poor mining proprietor
becomes convinced that he has been foolish
in letting go SO cheaply "a property esti-
mated by others to have so enormous a
value. OF course. most of US understand
how 1t is, but lately 1t has become clear
that the English public is waking up to
the existence Of an evil-the selling of po-
sition and influence for coin.
The Hooley expose makes clear the
causes and requirements for all the load
Ing up of mining and other properties
when put on the London market. Ordi-
narily. so many have to be cared for In
any English operation. that to cover all a
figure is put on mining property that
makes a sale too often failure, which
otherwise should have been success.
This latest expose should make radical
change in all this business of English pro-
motion. Everyone is willing 10 accord
legitimate profit for the trouble Of fnd-
The herald., 1898-08-09

ing good mines, and preparing them FOR
sale, and to the English agent for his busi-
ness efforts; but 1t Is curse to American
mining interests to demand In London
81, OO0 900 or possibly 81, 900 for property
negotiated in California or elsewhere for
from $50, 900 to 100000. There is neither
sense, honesty or business in such work.
and the sooner 1t is ruled out the better.
An owner who desires to make a success
Of sale should determine upon his price,
allow the promoter reasonable advance
to pay him for his trouble and business
service, then demand in writing that no
additional loading. under any circum-
stances, shall be put upon that price. This
would enhance the likelihood OF sale.
The English buyer would tNus have value
received for his money and the American
mine owner and promoter would be cred
lied with fair dealing.

Loan Agents Must Paw

The real estate agents, insurance agents
rental agents and all other agents who
have been In the habit. and still continue
the practice of making loans for capitalists
and others. have to pay license 10 Uncle
Sam of fifty dollars a year for the sacred
privilege Of negotiating between borrower
and lender and fixing the percentage of In
terest between them. There is good deal
of squrming over this provision Of the
federal law because, while II will not be
felt by the men who are doing a regular
money loaning business, 1t will hit hard
the numerous small brokers who always
have money to loan" and when they find
a customer who wants to borrow have to
thin around to find the man who may be
willing to make the loan.
Some of the money brokers have paid up
promptly, others have been teiegraphing
to headquarters to know whether this law
means what 1t says, and yet others will go
along the even tenor Of their way until the
collector brings them up with a round turn
