RIss Carnan, the poe, at the begin
ming OF his literary career. had the
usual difficulty with homing manu-
scripts. He ehalked up nil desperan-
l5um mn his desk and kent at work. One
belief which never failed him was that
everything he wrote must OF necessity
meet a welcome somewhere, a conv'c-
ton which always caused rejected
manuscript to take another journey.
Some came back so many times that
ne became deeply interested In them,
and gave them names quite apart from
their titles. such as THE Flying
putchman,' The Wandering Jew
"JTlysses" and so forth He was rum
maging thru some pigeonholes ..ot Ions
ago when he exclaimed to friend
who happened to be present:
why, hello; here's old Captain
Cook Really, had forgotten the dear
old captain" and he held up fadec
sheet of copy.
why do you call 1t Captain Cook ? I
asked the friend. noticing that the
title was widely different.
"Oh, because it circun1navigated the

Chicago Dec. .-Cattle-Arrivals
today We're somewhat larger than eX-

has been noted here last week Plain
light and medium steers were largely
in excess of actual needs of trade and
there We're too many big, thick. fat
steers at hand. While best heavy cat
tie sold at steady prices, others were
weak to 10 lower. The stocker and
feeder trade had better life today but
prices inclined to weakness.
Hogs.
Early trading was on a basis of 10
ais below yesterdays prices. AT the
iecline packers came in on very H.
heral scale and there was fair life
in the later trade, but prices were at
a level Of 121a below the average of
Tuesdays prices. General trade thus
Cor this week has held fair strength,
in view of the heavy marketing.
Sheep.
Sheep were weak. but lambs were IN
strong demand at the best prices of
the week. Most fat lambs sold 1905
higher. While sheep We're very slow OF
sale and the market very unsatisfac-
tory.

Why Yearlina. Are Popular,

II would be glad to pay 1915 for a
load of strictly choice 1850 ID yearline
steers and would go higher rather than
miss getting load of that kind II they
were to be had" said cattle deal
er.
The demand for choice Night steers IS
due to the fact many consumers wha
want to buy choice steaks do not wan
more than two or three pounds. A
good two pound steak can be gottes
out of a 1000 Id steer. while a steak
OF proper thickness out of 400 e
LOO lb animal will weigh too muci,
for the average purchaser. This &C
counts for the demand there is at pres
em for the Christmas baby beef.

e. II. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec 16-Wheat-The fea-
ture in wheat today was selling in
July for the account of Armour There
was also buying in May, for their ac-
count on the early decline. which
caused a reaction and recovery Of its
loss. The market was dull and there
was very little trade of an important
character. Quite a lot of long heat
came out at one time. but when this
selling ceased the demand from com
mission houses and local operators
sent the price over yesterdays close
While the Argentine news was bIllish.
Antwerp. which should have been az
fected by 1t came "a lower. Liverpool
was easier, but did not res pond to our
decline of yesterday. Primary receipts
We're large compared with last year,
but this is accounted for by the storms
that prevented a year ago At this time.
Cash and export demand was slow.
Southwestern receipts continued large.
Corn There was good buying by
local operators and fair commission
house demand but in the aggregate
business was small. Very light receipts
and an advance of a cent in cash corn
where the influences Market was af
fected somewhat by early weakness in
wheat but became independent later.
Gables We're a little better and there
was considerable Improvement in the
cash demand. Sentiment lsans toward
the bull side.
Oahs-There was only a small local
trade and very slight changes In prices,
little demand from commission
houses and selling by scalpers was
about all there was to the market.
No evidence of any selling for account
of big longs and no further accumula-
ton of May oats. The very small re-,
ceipts had some effect on prtces. Ca1lsI
demand only fair.

Cattle Livestock Review.

Fine finished light weight steers are
scarce and in strong demand. Selling
of big, heavy steers has been extremely
dull of late, and many traders claim
that the high tax on oleomargarine, in
the manufacture of which beef tallow
is used. has been one reason for the
lower values, beef tallow having lost
more than half of It's value since the
oleomargarine law went into effect.
Trade in butcher stock has a very
slow tone at present, and values are
now at the low point of the season.
Cold weather has hurt selling of AL
grades considerably of late, and sup
plies. too have been larger than need
ed. many farmers having shipped stock
to avoid feeding thru the cold weeks
to come. Smaller marketing of butcher
stock is needed, say traders. before
prices can recover much of the recent
decline.
Since the cold wave struck town
there has not been much business done
in stockers and feeders. Farmers have
not shipped in as many as usual. and
the demand from the country has been
very slim. Dealers do not look for a
large volume of business during zero
weather. for buyers are not anxious to
put steers on feed when 1t is so cold.
and prudent plan is not to ship many
in. Thus far this week there has been
no quotable change in prices compared
with the values which prevailed late
last week. Business has moved slowly
and for the most part receipts have
consisted of a common class.
Shipments still continue from Texas.
Everything there is fenced and pas
lures are eaten bare, so 1t is out of the
question toscarry even the calves over.
The heaviest shipments are from
Odessa. west of Midland. and usually
go over the Texas & Pacific railroad to
ST. Louis. Some cattle have come up
over the Pecos Valley lines for the
same destination. Some snow has fall
len in the Panhandle around Amarillo.
Texas, and this will help out the range
there early in the spring.
AS showing the erratic and unreliable
character of reports on receipts when
weather is SO cold at present the early
figures on hogs Monday morning We're
posted at $4,000 and the actual total
when the final count was made was
53,so1. or almost $1,000 above the first
estimate. Tuesday the first estimate
was $4,000 but before Q o'clock it was
tina. arrivals would exceed
$4,000, many placing figures as high as
IS, 600.
On basis of $4,000 for Tuesday the
total for two days reaches $4,000 an
increase of 5000 over the same time
last week, and 10000 more than for the
like period one year ago.
Six markets reported 10000 hogs,
Tuesday against $4,000 last Tuesday,
and $1,000 one year ago. For two ex-
pired days of the week The six markets
report total of $4,000 hogs, against
$4,000 last week and 100000 for the
ike period one year ago.

Utensils of Quartz.

Alderman technical factory, which
has been making expensive expert
ments with high temperatures, has
produced utensils made of molten
quartz. After the melting was done
the manufacture of bottles, glasses
and other articles was not much diff
ferent in method from that used for
making glass articles. The objects
made from molten quartz are flash
ing and clear, with the effect of dia-
monds. They are not brittle as
glass and have the further advan-
tage of not being affected easily by
heat or cold. Glass articles, as ev-
erybody knows from sad experience,
will crack if hot liquids are poured
into them when they are cold or vice
versa. Quartz articles, however, can
be heated to a cherry red, andahen
ice cold water can be squirted on
them without affecting them in the
least. This is due to the fact that
quartz neither expands nor shrinks
much under changes of temperature.

A Dumb Parrot.

Hetty Green recently bought a
parrot of a bird fancier Of no par
ticular standing. The man war
ranted the bird to be splendid talk
er, but Mrs. Green found after some
months that it never made a sound
approaching the semblance of
word. She called on the bird fan
cier and demanded an explanation.
"Well, ma'am," said that worthy,
"that there bird was brought up in
my humble home, and l expect when
it went to your residence and saw all
the beautiful, luxurious surround
ings it was struck dumb with sur
prise. l dare say it won't ever talk
again, but that amt no ways my
fault, so l can't take it back.
