SPARROWS SLAY A POLECAT
The Unique CoEtest WItnes.ed by "a
Hunter on t::c IIanks Of the
Ohio Isiver.

You have often heard of the ferocity
OF birds. no doubt" said William Ander-
son, hardy old w0odsman who lives
on the lower Ohio. reports the Louis
Vile Post. bur doubt if Won ever heard
CT birds attacking and killing an animal
mat one would imagine could whip
three or four fierce ours. While hunt
ing down in the flats near the mouth of
Green river several years ago saw a
large and fierce skunk beat an ignomiu-
ious retreat after trying in vain to beso
several English sparrows, and later,
when the skunk had screwed his cour-
age up to the sticking point again, 1
saw these same insignificant-l
little birds tear the animal to shreds.
When my attention was first attracted
the sparrows were flying from one side
OF the thiclset to the other, twitterinp
like mad. When | went to learn the
cause. the skunk. badly frightened. was
lodging from one side to the other of
a log. trying to escape the savage at
tacks of the feathered tribe. The birds
didn't mind me. but kept dashing their
little bills into the skunk's well-punc-
tured hide. When the skunk started
across an open space to the cover of
nearby driftwood his tormentors
pounced upon him and riddled the poor
eats hide"

THE TRADE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago July IL Especially Speculative trad.
Ing In wheat was at a rather low ebb The
majority OF operators were disposed to wait for
the Government report. Nevertheless there
was enough short selling by small operators
here and by Kaufman. OF ST. Louis to make .
lower market. The Nebraska crop report said
that harvest was ended and that over %. 600 900
bushels Of superior quality wheat were secured
Iowa supplemented this by announcing the best
yield in the history Of the state. ST. Louis re-
ceived 10000 bushels new wheat to-day against
$1,000 bushels a year ago. Baltimore told OF the
arrival Of 10000 bushels. and there were ten
cars OF new wheat here. The weather every
where. too was favorable Indiana contributed
2O56.0O0 bushels to the total world shipments Of
6.O41 900 bushels made last week. These and
the reiteration Of the Danubian prospect OF Q
big yield more than Offset the decrease Of 21S5-
600 bushels In the visible supply the 3200.0O0
bushels In the amount on ocean passage and
the tips given out that the Government report
this afternoon would indicate q yield OF only
624 100000 bushels. Cash and July wheat were
relatively weaker than the futures. OF the
fifteen or twenty cars which will appear on the
inspection sheet tomorrow the sales Of No. 2
red were from 50 cents down to 1884, cents. Of
No. 3 red from IS to 73 cents. and Of No. 2 hard
from "a cents to y cents. July opened at TITO
11ax cents, but declined to 10 and closed at 16k
cents. September opened at ssh @6S1a cents
and sold as low as 67ss and closed at 6S cents.
The December ranged from 6sss down to eta
cents and the close was 67a& cents. Govern
ment figures indicated a wheat crop ct 620.0OO.-
600 bushels.
Corn was affected by the bearish State reports
Of Iowa and Nebraska and the weakness In
wheat. Considerable corn held by the old local
hull crowd came on the market There wers
10000 bushels inspected out Of local elevators.
and vessel room was chartered for 100 600 bush.
els here at y cent to Buffalo, July opened at
30 cents and sold down to 31s. cents at tho
close September opened at 32l5 cents sold
down to 32Is cents and closed at S2hG32k
cents. December n cent premium over
September The Government figures indicate
corn crop OF 1000. 100000 bushels.
Despite reported good demand for cash oats
in the East, the market here for cash and July
declined In sympathy with the other futures.
The loss. however, was not so great The net
loss as compared with Saturdays closing was
n cent for July and y cent for September and
May They closed at 229s to 1874 and at IN
cents respectively. The Government figures sus-
gest an oat yield OF 100000 600 bushels.
