Broader Outside Demand for Week
Effects Good Clearance Of Stables.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Receipts We're
nominally steady last week, estimated
arrivals aggregating 1878 against
1853 last week and 1928 for the CORE
spending week a year ago. A prom
inent feature of the summer market
has been the increase receipts and
broader general demand for all COM
mercial classes. The gain, for July of
l,o2O over the previous July will prac-
tically be sustained in the larger run
of the current month as compared with
the receipts of August, 1904. Trade in
many of its features was more salts
factory, as the approach of the fall
trade has broadened outside demand,
while foreign orders We're also consid-
erably increased for the week by spe-
c1al conSignments to Holland and
Mexico Bussers, trammers and har-
ness horses We're firmer under larger
foreign Inquiry. Local as well as east
ern demand was more urgent and all
business classes found easy clearance
at .unevenly stronger prices Small
800 to 1850 Id. chunks made SIS advance
on larger southern orders, with the
outlook encouraging for further i'm
provement in demand for this CONNER
cial class, which changer hands the
current week at $45@1O5. Drafters
found ready sale at $165@215. Draft
ers found ready sale at $165@215, with
fancy offerings higher. Expressers
We're free sellers at $130@165. Bussers
were firmer at s12O@175. Eastern
chunks and wagon horses were fairly
active at $110@140. Harness horses,
while not quotably higher, met broad
er inquiry on foreign account at 5000
@360, with fairly good offerings steady
at $15O@175, and common kinds dull
at S75@125. With liberal summer re-
ceipts outside and local demand was
ample to clear the offerings at a slight
advance for the week for the best Of

its state and country; the other had
furnished none. one had sent many
of it's young men to college, the other
had not. Was it not the influence Of
the Christian church that made this
difference?
"We have now seen the influence of
Christianity on the race, the nation,
and the community. Why should not
this influence be still greater on the
individual? This influence is good
even for those who are. not members
of church, but it is still better for
those who are"

SLEEPING HIS LIFE AWAY.
Iowa Young Man Has Not Awakened
for Fifty Days.

Mason City, Aug. 26-The strange
case of William P. Burke, of Eldora,
now sick at the home of his parents at
Mason City, is puzzling the friends of
the young man, his relatives and ply
sicians. The young man is apparently
sleeping his life away and the case is
puzzling the doctors, who have been
called in to consult upon the case
For over tift.- days Burke has lain in
a stupor, not awakening to take his
food or to recognize his friends. He
takes nourishment daily in good guam
titles and although the man appears
to be in good health all efforts to
arouse him have proven futile.

A NATION OF SUSPECTS.
The inordinate love of money is one
of the principal evils of Chinese life.
Greed is such a universal trait among
the inha bitants Of the empire that it
has destroyed all confidence and public
spirit China has wall around it and
every city is protected in the same

patients pulse for several hours, the
latter considers that his adviser is
sighting the case. I was told of an
old practitioner who fell asleep while
holding the wrist of an invalid. When
the doctor awoke the patient was dead.
