CHICAGO-The grain markets ruled
weak to-day on fears OF blockade in
lake traffic. owing to the Buffalo strike.
Favorable weather also induced consld-
cradle liquidation. july wheat closed
T@Hc lower. Corn declined &c and
oats ,isGAc. Pork closed shade high
er, lard q shade lower and ribs I'M
changed. - I'd. tIi. '|t.SG 80
Perfect weather and liberal Argentine
shipments for the week induced liquida-
ton and short selling In the wheat pit
at the opening to-day and the market
continued 10 sag under It's load until
the close. a number OF stop loss orders
were met with as the market declined.
The threatened spread OF the Buffalo
strike, which. II 1t materinllzed, would
prevent the movement OF grain by the
lake route had bearsh influence. Bad
crop reports were ignored. July opened
unchanged at T2i4G721c: declined TO
Tic, and closed at 7l%c. Receipts
here and at the northwest were COM
paratlvely small. Chicago inspection be-
ing thirty-elght ears, two of which were
graded contract Minneapolis and
Duluth received 173 cars, compared
with 326 for the same day last year.
The aggregate at western primary
markets was 100000, against j64. 600
bushels a year ago. Clenrances from
Atlantic ports in wheat and -four equal
cd 10000 bushels Worlds shipments to
Europe were estimated at over 5000, oGo,
of which 2,S00,000 bushels came from
Argentina.
Favorable seeding weather and fears
of tie-up in the lake traffic weakened
corn. Shorts selling was heavy. Re-
ceipt 1872 cars. July opened q shade low
er at 34bc: declined to 359sc. and closed
with buyers at 33aG337sc. Oats declln-
ed. owing to heavy receipts and selling
by elevator concerns. Receipts. 2SG cars.
July started shade lower at 2ie, sold
off to 1850, and closed with buyers at

Provisions ruled steady early on buy
ing by packers. but weakened near the
end on renewed commission house H.

Felt Like n Convict.

New York Sun: a few weeks ago
Jean de Reszke. the renowned tenor,
was walking up and down n corridor
on which the door leading to the stage
opens. He was ready to appear, and
waiting 10 be called. In the meantime.
the tenor was walking nervously UP and
down the corridor. A friend passed.
What are You doing out hcre?" he
asked. why aren't you on the stage?"
NJ. dc Reszke continued to walk back
ward and forward. Seeing that his
friend was waiting for an answer, he
turned toward him.
Go away. won't you? Don't Vou see
| am the miserable condemned prisoner
waiting to hear what the verdict Will
be-" He was unable to control his
nervousness, and had kept OFF the stage
until the last minute.
The officials at the Metropolitan used
to be surprised sometimes to observe
how carly NJ. de Reszke arrived at the
theater. They did not know that he
came there because he was SO nervous
on the night he sang that 1t was impos-
sible for him to remain at home. Early
In the afternoon he begins to look at
the clock, and wonder when 1t will be
time to start for the Metropolitan. His
brother, Edouard, Is sometimes Just as
nervous. Only few weeks ago he
sang for the first time this year role
in which he has not been heard here for
several seasons. He was rs uneasy as
a child over Its first day at school. and
suffered from a degree Of nervousness
which only man could feel. ''
