PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July 9.--Wheat, following
early easiness, rallied in sympathy
with strong corn market and high
er close at Liverpool, September fin
ishing the session 1ac over Saturday
Corn advanced on dry, hot weather in
parts of the corn belt and damage
claims from Kansas, September clos
ing 3s@1ac up. Oats closed 3sc high
er and provisions 121zc to 2O@22kc
improved.
The trade in wheat was fairly active
and rather nervous because that regu-
lar market bugaboo, the monthly gov
eminent report is due tomorrow That
it will reduce the spring wheat fig
ures was deemed beyond denial. The
market opened easy, September u to
3sc depressed at S0A to 79Ac This
was because Liverpool was lower and
there was cool weather in the north
west. Following this the tone was
firm. Liverpool, which had showed
some loss early, recovered and closed
asd per Genital improved. Corn was
strong. These two factors, with corn
the more Influential, caused a steady
but rather quiet advance, which suf-
fered few checks. These were by no
means startling. The market for Sep
TENDER rose 811s and closed firm, 1sc
over Saturday at Sic. Primary receipts
were $685. 900 bushels, compared with
$4,000 last year. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 1876 cars, against 1872 last
week and 500 a year ago. Local re-
ceipts numbered q cars, none of con-
tract grade. Clearances in wheat and
flour at the seaboard were 306 900 bush
els. The domestic visible increased
435, 900 bushels New York reported
eight loads taken for export.
Corn was active and at times broad.
Gentlemen with money in their pockets
and supply of bullishness in their
reasoning mechanism bought every
thing which was offered-or nearly
everything-an the smaller fry Jagged
along in the usual way peculiar to
small fry. The why and wherefore of
the buying was to be found in the dry
weather in Kansas and other portions
of the corn belt, in a two cent advance
for spot at Kansas City and in insig-
mificant county acceptances. There
were some reports of damages in
Kansas where the expert and the mic
roscope are at large September sold
nCIWSSA 10 70 duu t0C, CLOSING 70 0J L2c
up at 441a@5sc. Receipts were 4S5
cars.
Oats followed the course of the corn
fluctuations being for the most part
subject to the same conditions of de-
mand and prospective yield of grow
ing crop. Receipts were 17S cars.
September sold between 23T and 243s
closing 3sc better at 241ac.
Provisions sympathized with the
corn strength; the hog market was
steady and receipts at the yards were
moderate and there was an absence of
influential selling which last week was
somewhat depressing There was a fair
demand as well as support from pack
ers. Trade was fairly active. Septem-
Der pork sold between SIP 721a and

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.
Outlook For Social and Political Dis.
turbances Graver.

New York, Nov. 1.-The outlook for
social and political disturbances In
France is becoming graver every day,
says a Paris dispatch to the Times.
In the north 100000 miners are on
strike, and the recent socialistic talk
from members of the government
seems to have encouraged a violent
and revolutionary spirit.
Moreover, the Catholics are becom-
ing very bitter at the declared inten-
ton of the government to close official
careers to all who have been educated
in religious institutions. The Catholic
press is very bitter, and the clergy are
making cause with the other
enemies of the government. Only the
fact hat the government controls the
churches funds prevents the clergy
exposing their opinions vigorously on
the matter.

FLATHEAes INDIANA.
Artificial Dsformitv Represents Thi. Idea
Of Beauty.

Many Indian tr.35s b.uI the head of
the infant, pressing the forehead back
and f1attening IT so that the child ap-
pears to have no forehead at all. This
fashion Is very common among the
fat-headed Indians Of rh" northwest,
and the result Represents the idea Of
beauty. What the oriEiu Of The Cus-
tom was it would be difficult to say.
1t is interesting to note how preva-
lent this custom has been among wide
iy divergent tribes. The Indians of the
Mosquito group tlattcn the head. In
Nicaragua and Yucatan children for
merry had their heads fattencd, aC-
cording to Squier. as a mark of noble
birth. Head %lattening was once COM
mon among the Cards. 1t is now prac-
ticed by the Indians OF the upper Els
Sequibo river. and evidences of the
practice are found mo many races.
Among the ilatheads the infant was
placed upon a board and dashed to it
SO that it could not move. the back OF
the mead resting upon a soft pillow of
skins. Over the forehead a board was
inclined. its Hat surface resting upon
1t and tied down tightly. This pressed
the sole frontal bones back and up
ward, and day by day the strings were
frightened, forcing the occipitIl up and
frontal dom until finally the forehead
was pressed entirely away The skull
then had at the top a profile breadth
of about two inches. while, if looked
at fron the front. it was seen to be
spread ont ike a fan, being as wide
as two ordinary heads. The operation,
while II may seem a terrible one. Is,
in all probability. painless, nor does
1t affect the mental status of the vic
tim; the brain is merely pushed into
another position. The infant is sub
jected to this pressure for about two
months, by which time she forehead is
fiat, and the bones have hardened in
place. The result Is hat from the side
the Indian resembles a typical idiot,
while from the front the head appears
of colossal size. Yet this is consid-
cred beautiful by the tribes who affect
it. and to have a full round forehead
is to be unfortunate. indeed.

Laraest Armor Plata.

What Is probably the largest sim
gle armor plate is to be used in the
construction of the b~attleship Wiscon-
sin. The plate will become the port
plate of a turret on the vessel, and
is being cut at an angle instead of
being the arc Of a circle, the idea be-
ing to better defect a shot. What
the armor plate is to a battleship, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters Is to the
stomach. 1t resists the attacks of
constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia,
biliousness. and prevents malaria. fe-
yer and ague. 1t will restore a weak
stomach to normal condition. Any
one troubled with the above ailments
will do well to try the Bitters at once.
For fifty years 1t has stood alone

ALIGNMENT OF POWERS.
Position On the Anglo-German Propo-
sails Given.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The alignment
agreement is now complete. Aside
from Italy and Austria. whose adher'
ence to the agreement was expected,
owing to their political relations with
Germany. Japan is the only one of the
powers which has given unconditional
assent to the agreement. AS the mat,
ter now stands, five of the powers are
united in all the terms of the agree.
ment, viz, Great Britain, Germany,
Italy, Austria and Japan; three Of the
powers, the United States, France and
Russia, accept the clauses relating to
the open door and the territorial inte-
gritty of China. but withhold action. on
the third clause relating to further pro
cedure in case any power seizes terri
tory. Neither the state department
nor the Russian embassy has received
information of Russia's mswer, though
the Associated Press in its London dis
patch announced hat the reply had
been received at the British foreign Of
flee October 80 and unreservedly &C
cepted the first two clauses. In regard
to the third clause Russia referred the
two contracting parties to the Russian
circular of April 25, saying that she
would modify her attitude according
to circumstances.
The effect Of the exchange has been
in bringing five of the powers to an
agreement to respect the open door,"
