Man Turning to Stone.

George W. Lewis, of Cross Keys, n.
J., is gradually turning to stone, and
might in one sense be called a walking
monument.
Mr.. Lewis, who is forty-fve years
old,realizes that there is little hope for
him, and is making the best possible
use of what little time there may be
vet for him in which to move about.
His case is a remarkable one, and has
thus far batlled the skill OF many ply
siciaus of New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA,
Mr.. Lewis about seven years ago
found that his fingers were beginning
to get stiff and that he could move
them only with difficulty. The stiff
ness began to move up his arms, and
soon, from the elbow down, the flesh
began to harden
The arms are now useless. The
SKIN is drawn tightly over the bones,
the siuews are contracted and the
hands ale like marble. The prick Of
a pin or needle is not felt, neither
does a cut show any blood whatever.
In fact. Mr.. Lewis has little blood, and
his flesh is nearly white, with a marble
cast.
Mr. Lewis feet and lower limbs be.
gan to stitfen and harden two years
ago, and also are gradually becoming
useless. The skin on his face is also
drawing tightly over the bones and at
the present rate Of progress of the dis
ease, Mr.. Lewis says, he will soon turu
to stone
Mr.. Lewis attributes his condition
primarily to nervous trouble, but is
not positive on this point. He was
an inyeterate smoker some years ago,
and thinks this may have been the
cause of this trouble. While he still
suffers from nervous trouble he be-
lieves his condition in this respect is
not so bad as it was two years ago.
Another remarkable fact about Mr..
Lewis is that he gets no sleep, and, IN
deed, does not seem to need it. For
weeks at time he does not close his
eyes. During the day his attention
is occupied by happenings at hisstore,
and at night be sits ny and reads.
He says be has gone a month without
a moments sleep.
Before his feet began to stliien, and
in summer weather, he would 90 out
for walks at all hours Of the night.
He now eats as little as he sleeps; is
never hungry, aad can 80 several days
without food.
Mr.. Lewis has been in several hos
pitfalls, where, after, thorough exami-
nation. be has been told there is no
hope for him. Neither could the doc
tors enlghten him as to his condition.
Mr.. Lewis's mind is not affected in
the least He is ready conyer's-
tionalist, and is well versed on topics
of the day.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August 9.-In the absence
OF changes in the crop situation the
grain markets were rather narrow to-
day. closing steady, wheat a shade up;
O unchanged and oats M@Bc
higher for September delivery. Proyis-
ions closed unchanged to liz over yes
terday.
Wheat traders were inclined to limit
their trades because of the government
report expected tomorrow. There was
hut little interest in the market, while
news OF influence was about evenly
divided between the bulls and bears. A
narrow range of prices was the result
of this situation. The market opened
easy in sympathy with Liverpool, Sep
tember NC lower to unchanged at
70sa to 70%. Fear that the north
western crop may be injured by heavy
rains. together with heavy seaboard
~cIearances, caused an early rally to
TN. Plenty of flattering prospects
were held out in letters and messages
from the country. however. and Septem-
her soon worked bark to 70as. Later a
rally to 70% @707s occurred, helped by
the fact that 81 loads were reported
taken for export. Feeling was steady at
the close. September being a shade
over yesterday at 7O% @7oA. seaboard
clearances were equal TO 1,455 900 BUSH
els. while primary receipts were 912 ,000
bushels, compared with 1.113,000 bush
els last yea Northwest receipts were
1872 cars against 152 last week and 253
a year ago. Local receipts were 1S7
cars, SO Of contract grade.
While corn was at times moderately
active. the general speculative atmos-
phere wa dull. AS in wheat, this was
due largely to a desire to await the
verdict of the government crop bulletin
expected tomorrow. There was very
little country buying while local people
were disinclined to SELL The usual
crop damage stories were received from
the corn belt. Receipts were 81 cars.

THE EVENING REPORTS.

NEW YORK, August 9.-Exactly the
same characteristic as on the last few
days was displayed by the stock mar
ket this morning. Prices have been
kept firm looking to the distribution
OF stocks to pools. and almost each rise
In quotations has brought out stocks,
and thus the advance has steadily been
kept in check. Syndicates evidently
are hard at work making a market for
their specialties prior to the publication
OF he government crop report to-mor-
rev afternoon. and the result OF the
general order calling out all Amalga-
mated men in the United States Steel
plants on Saturday. as both OF these in
eidents are calculated to affect specu-
lative sentiment adversely on Monday.
The important change in the bank
statement figures tomorrow promises
to hinge on the loan account which
may show a sufficient increase to Offset
a probable net gain in cash.
Traders have been trying to bull
stocks on statements that the govern
ment crop report TO be issued to-mor-
TOW will be more favorable than gener-
ally expected. We think this report
will make a poor showing for we have
reliable adviees I the effect that the
damage TO the crop has been really
severe.
The market was decidedly reaction
airy all the afternoon and closed at
about the lowest prices generally with
a long list OF net declines. About the
only special development of the day
was the beginning of new legal pro-
ceedings against Peoples Gas Company
at Chicago. and the stock suffered an
exceptional loss of nearly 8 points.
Taxes in dispute and testing of the con-
stit~utionality of the consolidation were
alleged as the ground for the legal pro-
ceedings. and IL was a shock especially
because the company had long been
largely heralded as at last exempt from
attacks. 1t is especially significant of
the condition of the market hat 1t lost
in a few hours to-day about all the
gain that It has taken several days to
pile up. c. |. HUDSON q co.
NEW YORK, August 9.-fhere was
a drive at the close which took stocks
down to about the lowest of the day.
There was also a good deal of profit
taking. as the government crop report
which is due tomorrow. together with
the bank statement, made some holders
timid. DICK BROS. & co.
NEW YORK. August 9.-London
cables showed higher prices and the
market assumed a decidedly strong
tone. with advances throughout the
list, Changers as well as Indnstrials
participated. Towards noon the mar
ket became dull and trading virtually
at a standstill. Activity was probably
restricted owing to the government
crep report, to be published tomorrow.
Late in the afternoon there was an
attack on Peoples Gas, the stock losing
about 5 points. after having sold ex-
dividend in the morning. The weak
ness is reported due to the commencing
OF proceed -ngs by the corporation coun-
sci to test the constitutionality OF the
consolidation act.
The general list sympathized to a
certain extent and lost the greatest
part of the advance made early in the
morning. BACHE.
