and enthusiastic young mulatto gentle
man, who, having studied music abroad,
had made art his mistress. As well as
he was able, he wore the shock of hair
which was the sign manual of his pro-
fession. He was a plausible young man
of large ideas. and had composed some
things of which the critics had spoken

work was that his one aim was money.
He did not love the people among
whom American custom had placed
him, but he had respect for their
musical ability.

sudden bursts of enthusiasm 10 ghich
he was subject, why, these people are
the greatest singers on earth. They've

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, Oct. %. - Weakness at
Liverpool was the main factor in a
slump in wheat here to-day. December
closed 11ac under yesterday. Corn
closed 3sc and oats Nc lower. Provi-
sions at the close were weak. Pork
321ac, lard 1212, and ribs 171a020c
depressed.
Liquidation by discouraged longs, in
f1uenced mostly by / I'd drop at Liv-
erpool, ruled in the wheat pit through
out the session. The heavy movement,
favorable weather and slow cash de-
mand added to the bull demoraliza-
ton. Some export business was ac-
complished at the decline, but there
was not enough of it to check The bull
rout The increase in the worlds
visible 2,156,000 bushels, although I'M
der expectations, also failed to mater
tally affect the price The selling was
general the demand scattered and lit
tie calculated to withstand the heavy
lines which came into the pit through
commission houses. December opened
10 3sc lower at 1880 to 1890, rallied
early to 73AEc, and then dropped stead
lily to 725sc near the end of the session.
The close was weak, December 1kc
down at 725s@Ac The seaboard re-
ported SO loads taken for export and
II loads were sold direct from here.
Seaboard clearanceS in wheat and flour
were equal to 421,000 bushels. Primary
receipts were 1851 900 bushels compar-
ed with $4,000 bushels last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported SIS cars
against 592 last week andres year
ago. Local receipts were 326 cars, five
CT contract grade. Argentine news was
bearish, reporting crop prospects i'm
proved. Fly was reported doing dam
age in Ohio.
Corn held remarkably steady in
view of the contrary nfuences-wheat
weakness, better weather, liquidation
by longs, and the Indifferent cables.
December sold between 35@35Bc, clos
ing 3sc lower at 352sc. October at one
time touched Ale, or 1c over yesterdays
close. but later influenced by the wheat
weakness, dropped to 39ssc, &c under
yesterday. Receipts were 622 cars.
The oats market felt the bearishness
of other grains. Business showed little
activity, and the price yielded with
out attracting much attention. Re-
ceipts were 800 c,.rs. December sold
between 22B@Ac and Use, and clos
ed Ac lower at 21B 922c.
Provisions were weak at the opening
because Of decline at the yards and
as the grain weakness became pro-
nounced. prices eased off still further,
closing weak, January pork sold be-
tween $11.371s and s1105, and closed
921ac lower at $1I07h January lard
between $6621a and $685., closing 127a
down at $685., and January ribs be-
tween $5.971a and s5.S71a, with the
close 17a@20c depressed at $685.. Liv-
erpool was Sd lower for Cumberland
cut bacon.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 200 cars; corn, 2S5 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, $1,000 head.
