While we are speaking of his breathing

inhale and eXhale as we do, but is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and
if you will watch this little fellows

other. In order to swallow, his mouth
must be closed. Just try to swallow
with your mouth wide open and you

= n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 23-Wheat-Until late
in the session the market was strong
one, but persistent selling by put trad
ers and the fact that some of the early
buyers sold caused weakness and loss
of the early advance. There was a
good trade, with the market Influenced
more or less by the action of corn. Ear
ly news was quite bullish, reports OF
extremely hot weather in the southwest
having the greatest effect. Threshing
returns continue to be disappointing,
with light movement ard are sufficient
to create considerable bullish sentiment
on the outside.
Corn-Reports of hot winds in Kan
sas. and adverse crop reports from the
west, were mainly responsible for a
very strong market in corn early today.
There was very influential selling on
the advance. resulting in declines from
top prices, but no weakness was appar-
ent. There was IA big trade early In
the day and nearly every one was on
the buying side. Interest conferred
largely in corn and other markets were
affected by the action of this cereal.
Sentiment is divided. owing to conflict
ing crop reports. The outside seems to
favor the long side and the local bulls
are quite numerous.
Oats-The feature in oats was the
advance In July. Stop orders were
reached and the price went up rapidly,
with but few transactions; other
months were Influenced by the action OF

presence of the persons named above

In compliance with the specifications

shall fail to execute promptly a con-
tract. with good and sufficient securi-
ties. according to the terms of the BID.
The contract between the United

lers was executed on June 2, 1903. Inc
name Of Charles b. Sellers does not
appear in the New York city directory
or on the directory of the building at
lis Broadway.
on the first floor of that building,
however, is the New York office OF Lit
tauer Bros, manufacturers Of gloves at
Gloversvlle. N. Y. The senior member
of this firm is Lucius Nathan I.ittauer,
representative in congress from the
twenty-second New York district.
One of those who was present when
the bids of this contract was opened
was asked today who Charles .. Sellers
was. He replied:
"Oh, he is an old time bidder for
glove contracts and has always peen
regarded as the representative or LII

his latest bid is 715 Broadway, where
Littauer Bros. have their New YORK
office. A contract similar to this was
awarded to him by the Indian commits
sion in 1900 and 1901. He was under
bid in 1902 by Marshall Field & Co.,
but that firm had to buy the gloves OF
Littauer Bros, because Littauer Bros.
are the only firm in the country that
turns out that kind of a glove at any
where near the price bid.
A reporter went to the Office of Lit
tauer Bros. at 715 Broadway and asked
to see Mr.. Sellers. Representative Lit
tauer was in the place at the time. The
man who met the reporter asked:
