Day of SettIement-COrn
Fairly Firm.


July wheat, New York. ...G2l2A 1875
The week in the graip 9maPket has de-
veloped little out of the ordinary, though
the close is fairly satisfactory There il
a fractional gain in July, and the option
is holding its own better Than did May
when so much was expected of it. Deal
ings have been, rather light. In fact
there seems a decided, Discrimination on
the part of dealers to take hold freely, as
there is yet present the element of doubt
that has existed for so long. Neither the
bear nor the bull can satisfy himself that
now is the time to take hold, and the
consequence Is a slow market all around
While the close of JuIy-Was a shade low
er Saturday, 1t was a steady market and
the bull element was perfectly satisfied
with conditions. Primary receipts at Chi
cago were in excess of tie figures shown
for the ike period of -the sPfeYigVs, year.
Minneapolis and Duluth showett an ex-
cess over the week of the previous year,
and there was apparently a gain in that
direction at all the leading grain centers
The wheat market looks Ike 1t was in
for a. rather quiet time, for the present
at least.
CORN AND OATS
Corn has shown fair amount Of
strength, though, perhaps, not so pro-
nounced as in the few weeks preceding.
At the close of business Saturday that
grain was in good demand, and at prices
above those offered the previous day.
There is yet a strong belief in the fu-
ture of the coarser grain, and prices
have not yielded materially. even in the
face of fierce onslaughts of the bear ele-
ment. The week closed with corn in the
same strong condition that has prevailed
for many weeks and there Is nothing
TO Indicate immediate falling off in val
ues
Oats were stronger the past week than
at any time within a month. The de-
mand was heavier and prices showed i'm
provement.
STOCKS NEGLECTED.
OF the stock market little that is new
can be said The public seems yet disln-
clined to take hold, and the character of
the dealings have been almost wholly pro-
fesstonal. The industrials have been rel
egated to the background to a greater ex-
tent than have the railroads, in which
there have been no serious losses, so far
as the standard securities are concerned.
Money is easier than at any time within
several months. There are no disturbing
elements. and the only reason that can
be assigned for the falling off in stocks
is that there is lack Of confidence on the
part Of the general public without which
Improvement that will be regarded as ma
terial cannot come.

girl, impressed by her beauty But II we
analyze the beauty we find it is made up
of smooth skin, clear complexion, bright
eyes. rudy lips. and rounded contours.
That beauty ought to last always. But
how soon We see it fade. The young wife
looks at her yellow skin, sunken cheeks,
and hollow eyes, and marvels at her own
falling off. And the younger girls still
retaining the beauty of youth wonder
what her husband could have seen attrac-
tive in her." not knowing that it will be
their turn to fade very soon.
HOW TO KEEP BEAUTY.
In order to preserve this beauty OF youth.
to retain the charm of sweetness and fresh
ness which belongs to maidenhood. the
prerequisite is to understand that the
chief foe of woman's beauty is womanly
careless of themselves. The temptation of
the dance or of the sleigh-ride overrules
their prudence. and the result is suppress
sion and perhaps irregularity. This is only
the beginning Of worse evils, and yet this
alone is sufficient to steal the freshness
from the face. The womanly health should
be protected with the utmost care, and the
first symptom of arrangement or disease
should be met by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
II will always recommend DR.. Pierce's

ANOTHER HEARING WANTED.
A Census Clerk Petitions for the Re
opening Of m AssauIt Case.

Daniel ]. White. a clerk in the Census
Office, yesterday through his attorney,
Campbell Darlington, petitioned Judge
Kimball to reopen a case OF assault al
legged against the petitioner and Reuben
Maxwell, by H. Bidleman, on August 8.
On that day 1t was alleged that White and
Maxwell assaulted Bidleman at the cor
ner of Thirteenth Street and New York
Avenue northwest. Later White and Max
well were arrested and on the day fol-
lowing forfeited $40 collateral each in the
Police Court.
In his petition for a reopening of the
case White. through affidavits, sets forth
that he unintentionally forfeited collateral
because of his ignorance of Police Court
methods. He also claims that though he
assaulted Bidleman he did SO in self-de-
fence. Judge Kimball said he was dis
posed to reopen the case In fairness to
White, but thought additional affidavits
should be furnished showing reason for
Whites failure to answer to his name
when it was called in court the day the
case was to have been tried. Attorney
Darlington will present the afidavits re-
quested today.
