Trade Still Rnthe Dull, but Prices i'm
the Main Are steady.

The dullness which has characterized the local
markets for some days continues, and mer-
chants. though hopeful, are not oversanguine
as to the immediate future. So far this week
the movement in dry goods has been very light,
but jobbers seem to think that only fair and
settled weather is necessary to set business
going at a greatly improved rate. Grocers. also,
say trade is very quiet. There seems to be an
impression prevalent among retailers that by
delay they will soon be able TO buy cheaper,
ar opinion which the facts do not seem to war
rant. Canned and dried fruits have declined
slightly. as they generally do at or near the
close of the season. but all staples aside from
these are held firmly, and show rather an ad-
vancing than declining tendency. When stocks

Hogs-Receipts. 5000; shipments, LOO.
The receipts of hogs were comparatively
liberal, but the market opened with sales
men asking higher prices. Buyers were not
inclined TO operate very literally at any
advance, but soon, with reasonably active
competition between packers and shippers.
the offerings were changing hands rather
promptly and sales were usually at an adj
vance cf 21ac In prices over yesterday. In
some instances it was claimed that sales
we're &c higher, but such cases were ex-
ceptions. The latter half Of the market
was active. and If any different the close

THE RUsH-BAooT CONVENTION.

Chicago Tribune
 The antiquated treaty of 1917 forbidding the building and maintenance of warship3 on the great lakes has engaged Congress- man outell's attention ever since it kill ed his bill three years ago for giving the Chicago naval militia a modern training ship. In The North American Review for September he tells the curious story of the birth. life, death. resuscitation and accomplishments of that outworn treaty. He writes under the title, "Is the Rush Bagot Convention Immortal?" He makes It clear that the old treaty is now doing more harm than good.
 The object of this convention between Great Britain and the United States was to remove a possible cause of irritation after the war of 1872 It accomplished that object It stipulated that neither nation should maintain any naval vessels on the lakes, with the exception of four small revenue cutters not exceeding 100 cons burden and armed with one1S- pound cannon" At that time iron or steel ships were unknown, and steam had not yet been applied to a war vessel. The treaty has Ion goutlived its purpose and the con- ditions that made it's literal observance possible. Both nations tactly admitted this fact as long ago as 1S44. when the United States launched the 49S-ton side wheel bark Michigan, which still survives as an ancient curiosity. This has violated

When EverYthing Sticks.

'sIn muggy weather" said, the retired bur fglar, Ialways used to stop work not because work was unpleasant then, but
 .sYo ucouldnt tell what might hoppcn. Anything and everything was liable to stick and make more or less noise when stick at first and then go up with bang I've had door open on me that way fly open all of a sudden after I'd been through the doorway onto the floor There's always danger, for instance in pulling out a drawer that sticks of pull ing 1t clean out and letting 1t drop
 of tfis sort happening, and 1t doesn't pay to take the chances. And it's easy enough to know when to stay home. My rule was never to try to do ahy work in weather that would rust jimmy New York Sun.

Chopin on Piano Finperlnp

Hunekers Chopin, the Man and His Music
 This is from a fragment of piano fngerine left by Chopin: No one notices inequality in played very fast and equally as regards time In a good mechanism the aim is not to play everything with an equal sound, but to acquire shading.
 For long time players have acted against finger. On the contrary. each finger should have appropriate part assigned it. Ire thumb has the greatest power. being the thick est finger and the freest. Then comes the little finger. at the other extremity of the hand. The middle finger is the man support of the hand and is assisted by the first Fi- nally comes the third the weakest one.
 As to this Siamese twin of the miGdle finger some players try to force 1t with all their might to become independent, a thing impossible and most likely unnecessary. There are. then. many different qualities of sound just as there are several fingers. The point Is to utilize the differences. and this, in other words is the art of dnCernK"

Arab and the Telephone.

Independent.
 We had a party of Arabs along with us and took them all over a great news paper office. Everything was wildly as- tonishing to them. They had imagined that the Koran contained all the knowl- were the telegraph, the telephone, the electrotype and the printing press. The place was a veritable enchanters' castle to them. They would never have be- lieved in the telephone if had not call d up their hotel and got one of their own party at that end of the wire.
 The derVish who had come along was bold as well as nous. When he heard that his friend five miles away was talPlng through the instrument. he made a dash at it. He was gT@ttly excited and yelled in a megaphone voice. He thought we were tricking him, but here was his friend talking Arabic He rolled his eyes at me in a despairing manner and then began a search for devils, be- ing quite convinced that the phone was an invention of satan.

the letter of the treaty for nearly sixty years. MT. Boutell thinks 1t Is time both governments ceased to maintain the ptouS notion that the convention is still obserV- ed.
 At the time when MT. Rush and MT. Bagot exchanged their notes the Welland and St. hhWrer.ce canals did not exist. To build Warship on the lakes then conditions now make it possible to build ocean vessels of moderate size in lake lshipyafds ,aRd convey them to salt water. Lake shtpbuilders could compete with those on the seaboard in building smaller naval vessels for our own and foreign governments if it were not for the Rusn- Bagot convention. The men who made that treSty had no idea of forbiddinS S' legitimate an industry, yet such is the et- feet of the agreement as it stands.
