CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. Oct. Is WHEAT - Dull,
featureless market with a lower ten
dency. Early cables quoted foreign
markets one-quarter to three -eighths
lower. Receipts in the northwest were
again larger than predicted Cash de
mand shows some premium over the
December option for the better grades
of winter wheat. There was a cargo
of one hundred thousand bushels sold
today to exporters. The market closed
steady, a fraction lower than yester-
day.
CORN-Has ranged higher, partly on
shorts covering and partly on a better
demand reported for old corn from
New England points. Quite a few re-
ports of losses in both Illinois and In
diana to the new crop. caused by dry
rot, necessitating the feeding of con-
siderable corn. The market closed firm
with an advance OF about one-half a
cent for the day.
OATS-Narrow and draggy, fluctua-
lions scarcely one-quarter of a cent for
the entire day. A little buying of cash
houses against sales to exporters The
market closed steady.

SPECIFIED TOBACCO.

How the Little yellow Spots Are
Formed on the Leaf.
Little yellow specks on the wrapper

you can't go wrong"
The speaker was a skate salesman.
The tobacco salesman laughed at him.
"Are you a victim Of that error, toe?
he said. Listen and I'll tell you all
about those little yellow specks.

Cuba, as large as the largest pearls.
These drops become burning glasses
in the sunlight The same as real
lenses they concentrate the suns heat,
and on the leaf beneath them the little
specks that you venerate are burned.
These little yellow specks indicate the
tobacco's quality no more than freckles
ON a mans face indicate his ability.
ITO choose cigars by their specks is
as foolish as it would be to choose
statesmen by their freckles. "-Chicag 60

SILVER MINES.
The Way Nature Forms These Depos-
its of Precious Metal.

The Way Nature Forms These Depos-
its of Precious Metal.
The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. 1t
must be remembered that the earth's
crust is full Of water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions Of elements obtained from
them. These solutions take up small
particles of precious metal which they
find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, the water having got so far
down as to be set boiling by the inter
nal heat of the globe Then they rush
upward, picking up the bits of metal as
they GO Naturally heat assists the
performance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, perpetually flowing hither and
thither below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities in the rocks, where
they deposit their lodes of silver This
is kept up for a great length of time
perhaps thousands Of years-until the
pocket 1t filled up.
Crannies permeating the stony mass
in every direction may become filed
with the precious metal or occasionally
a chamber may be stored full Of 1t as
if 100000 hands were fetching the
treasures from all sides and hiding
away a mine for some lucky prospector
to discover in another age.

the opinion OF Dr. Johnson, Arbuthnot

John Bull as the typical Englishman-
a stout red faced old farmer, far too
corpulent for comfort, eholeric, but
withal an honest and well meaning fell

and top boots, put stout oaken cudgel
In his hand and a bulldog at his heels
and set him up for all time to serve as

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Oct. 25.-London prices
for American securities were quoted
fractionaIy lower for the standard
rails. Our market opened a trife lower
than yesterdays final sales, but dull
ness was about the only feature Pro
fessionals and room traders have had
the market practically to themselves
for the past few days, and their opera
tions are not conducive of any extreme
activity either way.
Union Pacific, Pennsylvania, Southern
Pacific, Shelters, Copper and St Paul
were the most active features, and
these five issues comprised almost half
Of the entire transactions on the floor.
The tone OF the market has been drag
gy and lower, and losses ranging from
one-half to one and one-half points is
the rule in the above-named stocks.
The Bank of England directors met
today and did not change the discount
rate; it still remains at six per cent
The high rates for loans in foreign
markets has dampened the ardor of
spectators generally, and traders, as a
rule, are reluctant to commit them
selves strongly on either side of the
market. Therefore indications point to
dull, sluggish and uninteresting mar
kets for the present.
In the last half hour quite a selling
movement appeared in Reading, and
this issue suffered a loss of three
points in about as many minutes. 1t
had a depressing influence on the en-
tire list closing the general market
weak with losses of one TO two points
apparent in all of the active stocks.

HEARD ON THE BOURsE.

New York, Oct. 25.-Everybody is
bearish on the stock market at pres
ent, even the raising of the Norfolk
dividend to per cent. and the promise
of a raise in the Pennsylvania dividend
to per cent. does not help sentiment
The leaders are looking for decline
Stocks are high and conditions are not
such as to justify higher prices imme-
diately from this level The prepara-
ton for the dividend disbursements are
of such large amounts, and the amount
of cash to the interior for the next
thirty days is so large that money will
be dear, and no help can be had now
from Europe; in fact, we will be lucky
if we do not export some gold. The
public is not in the market to help
carry the load of stocks Even the
great firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. have
shifted the burden of carrying Balti-
more & Ohio stock over to the Union
Pacific, something like 100000 shares
bought in the last few months. This
ought to be a bull argument on both
of these stocks, and Pennsylvania, but
the pools cannot get rid of the bur
den Commission business is down to
holio>y trade, and they are not carry
ing many stocks. Some of the best
houses are advising customers on re-
cessions to get long of the Hill stocks
and ST. Paul on account of the rights
these stocks will receive, as well as
the large earnings.

EN- MASQUE
By William Henry Eader

1t was the first night of THE Nav
erick's" week at the Denver Opera
House, and, despite the white coat OF
snow that was being sifted over the
city, the theater was filing rapidly.
Among the later arrivals was young
woman of the upper world, exquisitely
gowned, breathing cultivation, yet with
the frank air and lively eye of a nice
boy, now bold, now shy, but always
vivid. Her seat was in one of the low
or boxes. and beside her was a vacant
place, apparently for her delayed es-
cort
The young woman had come alone
and had sat alone till the orchestra
was nearly through its overture. Then
the vacant seat found an occupant.
He came striding down the aisle, a
splendid specimen of man. Hundreds
of amused, interested eyes took in his
magnificent, picturesque bulk, breathed
deeper at the outdoor atmosphere of
big spaces he radiated and warmed to
the unframed, fearless spirit of the van
ishlng west that looked out Of his face
of bleached walnut
The click of the high heeled, dusty
riding boots into which corduroy trou-
sers fitted snugly, the worn felt hat held
negligently in a great leather cuffed
hand, the handkerchief knotted loosely
around the tanned throat, proclaimed
more loudly than words that he was
denizen of the COW country.
The blond giant from the desert fol
lowed the usher to the vacant seat be-
side the daughter of civilization. The
girl hastily gathered the skirt of her
gown out of danger and devoted her
self to studying the cast Presently
she flshed a silver cased pencil from
somewhere and wrote a line on the
edge of the programme. The direct.
impulsive side Of her was just then in
dominance.
"Slr, this seat is taken" he read
after she had with apparent careless
ness maneuvered the paper into his
line of vision
You're right; it is. ma'am," his pen
ell answered on his programme.

4 Terrible Punishment.

Herr Hager, a wealthy and absent
minded banker who lived in Berlin
many years ago. frequently had watch
es picked from his pocket At first he
had recourse to all kinds of safety
chains; then one fine morning he TOOK
no precaution whatever and quietly all
lowed himself to be robbed. At night,
on returning from business, he took up
the evening paper. when he uttered an
exclamation of delight. A watch had
exploded in a mans hands. The hands
Of the victim were shattered and the
left eye gone. The crafty banker had
filed the watch case with dynamite
which exploded during the operation OF
winding.
