STRONG GRAIN MARKETS
SEPTEMBER WHEAT CLOSES AT A
GAIN OF NEARLY TWO CENTS.
Oats Add a Major Fraction to the
Price, Corn Is Higher and PrOvi-
siOns show Small Advances.

CHICAGO. Aug. There was much i'm
provement in grains, the market ruling
strong throughout the session and closing
with September wheat 1s4017sc higher, corn
up &c. oats 5sG%c better and provisions
from lOc to 121zc higher.
Wheat was especially strong, under the
influence of reports of wheat blight in
South Dakota and generally discouraging
crop advices from the Northwest. Buying
orders were plentiful from the start and
prices grew in strength as the session adj
vanced. The opening was about steady,
Stepember being a shade lower to shade
higher, at 7SQ3S1sc TO 7S9sc. but with good
local demand. accompanied by buying or
ders from st. Louis and the Northwest
there was a gradual advance throughout the
day, with now and then a slight reaction on
realizing. Prices took a final squirt up
ward within the last few minutes of trad
ing, and the close was at the top, September
being 1&qlhc higher. at S0asc. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 800 blu.
Primary receipts were 622 500 blu, against
1.05l. 4O2 blu a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 159 cars, which,
with local receipts of 80 cars-20 of contract
grade-made total of 249 cars, against 246
cars last week and 45s cars year ago.
Corn was helped largely by the strength
in wheat, although the weather was little
cool for the quick development of the crop.
There was fair trade, but the market was
not as active 1t had been of late. Re-
ceipts continued light, with little prospect
of much Increase in the movement. The
close was strong, with September up Ac,
at 52lzc, after selling between SIC and 521ec.
Receipts were las cars, eleven of contract
grade
There was a fair trade in oats and prices
were strong in sympathy with the better
tone in other grains. Some of the big
houses had considerable stuff for sale. but
commission houses had plenty of buying
orders, which sustained prices. After sell
ing between 331sc and 34hc September closed
9sqa4c higher at 34Q541sc. Receipts were
25S cars.
The chief feature in provisions was the
light offerings. With a good demand for
ribs, and helped by the strength in grains.
the price OF hog products ruled higher from
the start. Shorts were active buyers late
in the day. The close was strong, with
September pork l0c higher at $l3.75. lard up
1212c at 1885 and ribs lOc higher at $S0712.

The Point of View.
PHILADELPHIA Press.


This is just a quiet little tale of how
some people think the world is going one
way and how some think it's going the
other. The characters in the story are a
boy of the country and boy of the city
They are great chums and had known each
other all their lives.
One day they were discussing the cost
of clothing and the city boy said
II find that things to wear are much
cheaper than they formerly were''
Ion the other hand" the boy from the
country remarked. II find that they are
much more expensive"
Then the city lad went home and solved
the problem. In his youth he had a father
who bought him clothes of dash and style
and clothes that cost money. When he
was compelled to buy his own wearing ap-
parel he looked for bargains and spent his
money more carefully than he had spent
his fathers money. And to him clothing
was cheaper than formerly.
The country boy, in his native town, paid
but little for his clothes, but finally he
cured position in big city and con-
sequence he was compelled to keep we'll
dressed and tidy. Then he noticed that
clothes were not as cheap as they were in
the little village where his youth was spent
and he thought the world was becoming
chap was more contented for things were
cheaper TO him. All of which goes to
show that there is a certain kind of happi-
ness for those who start out big and work
down.

A METHODIST LITURGY.
Slight Changes I'm the Original Wes-
leyan Form Of Worship.
New York Mail and Express


The Methodists took a long liturgical
stride at Ocean Grove on Wednesday when
the representatives Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church and the Methodist Episcopal
Church South adopted, in conference, new
form of worship. There is nothing remark
able in the form itself, which embraces but
few and trifling changes from the simple
and familiar mode of Wesleyan worship; the
noteworthy fact is its authoritative adop-
ton.
Individual pastors in the Methodist de-
nomination have, for years past. strayed.
with their brethren of the Presbyterian and
Congregational churches, toward a liturgy
without ritual. In every city of the coun-
try one may find surpliced shepherd of the
latter day Puritan flock; may find a surprise
in a form of worship which has never been
rigidly uniform or prescribed. For the Meth
odists, at least the official action OF the
Ocean Grove conference would seem to have
introduced something like a fixed and formal
liturgy.
There will be marked objection from GER
tain sources undoubtedly. fractional fights
over predestination in the Presbyterian fold,
over its name and ritual in the ranks of
Protestant Episcopalians, are as child's play
compared with the bitterness engendered by
the gradual and inSidiouS elimination of the
tense emotional forms of worship which
were the handspring and very life of the
early Methodist Church The protracted and
camp meetings, with their excited and In
sistent summons to the anxious bench, have
been missed by saints and sinners alike.
There is no hint Of them in the Ocean
Grove liturgy, beyond a note, preceding the
doxology, which simply states that ian in
vitation to come to Christ or to unite with
the church. shall be given when this hymn
is announced.
The change may seem revolutionary to all
those loyal and fervent Christians who
found the essence of Methodism in chanting
the Wesleyan call Ito the fount to seek sal
vation;" but 1T is really an advance along
the line of UNCONVENTIONAL worship. The love
of form and symbol is inherent in the hui
man race, and its revival has seized upon
the most plain and protestant Of churches.

Sheep-Receipts. $50; shipments 200. The re-
ceipts of sheep and lambs this week have also
been comparatively liberal. showing an increase
of 500 over last week. and over 200 compared
with the week year ago and the cor
responding week two years ago. Thus Tar TINS
year the receipts little over Zoo smaller
than the same period last year, and the official
receipts last month were 106 larger than the
same month year ago.
There were more frequent changes in prices OF
sheep and lambs this week than there has been
for some time past but in the END the change
in either direction il not material AT different
times changes OF much as 2Sc IN prices oc-
CURED. but nearly all declines were followed by
a rally in prices and vice versa. The supplies
were not excessive at any time. but about three
fourths Of the weeks supply came in the latter
half OF the week. The quality this week has
average recently. The greater part of the week
the best lambs were salable high 1915 and
sheep as high as 1915, but at the extreme close
of the week the top prices were practically s. so
for lambs and 50 80 for sheep. Most of the good
lambs have sold around s5Q55o. with common
kinds as low s.. So and the bulk OF the good
sheep have sold at s3G3.25 with culls as low as
ST. There were Not many yearlings sold as such.
and, therefore, 10 difficult TO make an estl-
mate of the market based upon actual sales. but
nearly every dan the best selections were sala-
bic as high as VI The receipts to-day were a
fair average for Saturday. and, although there
was no active competition between buyers ana
il was more less difficult TO consummate sales
prices in a general way. were not great deal
lower than yesterday. Most OF the lambs here
sold at S. 25 a few high $3.50. and sheep
sold at S263 % Quotations:

Strange Habits of the cowbird.
Life in America


The cowbird is black and little smaller
than the redwinged blackbird. There are
three species, two OF which-the common
and red-eyed-migrate TO our Northern
States and found associated together.
The male of the common cowbird has a
head and neck OF deep w0Od-brown, while
the red-eyed is wholly black and very lus-
trous. The females are smaller than the
males and duller in color. although the red
eyed female Is quite black.
The bird receives its name from its as
ISOLATION with cows. besides which IL feeds.
snatching up the insects that are disturbed
by their heavy tread. About half a 6ozen
usually attend single animal or bunch
of cattle part of which may be OF one spe-
cies and part OF the other. Indeed, the TWO
associate together as peacefully as though
they were OF the same species
The most serious indictment against the
cowbird is that IL builds no nests and does
not rear its own family. It's eggs are laid In
the nests OF greenlets. wai'blers. hnchers and
other blackbirds. most OF which are smaller
than itself. OF the first five red-wings nests
examined in 1902 four contained the eggs or
the cowbird. The summer wapoler was one
day found burying the .ietestable egg In the
bottom Of her nest, together with one OF her
own. Two orchard orioles nests, not nfty
feet apart, each contained the egg OF the
parasite. probably OF the same breed
