says: There came into the regiment

coming home with his load, through A
binding storm, he slipped and opened
the old rupture. The agony was very
great and one of his comrades took
his load. He himself, sometimes walk

up with a spike bandage, but informed
him that he would have TO be sent
back 70 the States when an ambulance
came along.
The ambulance did not come until the
next day, which was the day before we
marched TO San Juan. 1t arrived after
nightfall. and as soon as Bell heard
It coming, he crawled out of the hos
pital tent into the jungle. where he
lay all night. and the ambulance went
off without him. The men shielded
him just as schoOlboys would shield a

us to the United States"
After that one does not wonder that
on the back of Bells discharge is the
following:

THE GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO September 15.-Wet weather
in the northwest and the forecast of large
export shipments were the chief causes for
firm wheat market here today. At the
close December wheat was 1saA higher.
Corn was down 1saA. Oats were unchanged
to a shade lower Provisions were I'M
changed to &C lower.
The wheat market opened firm, despite

weather in the northwest, which is expect
ed to interfere with the movement of the
crop, and additional reports of disappoint-
Ing results from threshing operations.

cause Of realizing sales, but later became
firm on the statement of an English statis-
tician that the worlds shipments will
amount to about 10,OO0,OOO bushels with this
country supplying about one-haf of the
total exports. The clearances of wheat ana
flour were larger, and this held the market
steady to some extent. The fluctuations of
the day were within narrow range, and
the close was firm. December wheat
opened unchanged to a shade higher, at
13A to 73Aa73s, sold between 731sa73A and
1885, and closed at 73Sa73h. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 742, 100

bushels against 9S2, 600 bushels year ago.

ceipts were 1856 cars, with 90 of contract

Evidence of Protection,

The market continued to show evidence
of protection on any considerable decline,
supporting orders appearing at a certain
stage of a downward movement which ar
rested it. But, on the other hand any
considerable advance served to bring out
selling orders in sufficient volume to check
the rise. An inference was drawn of u
purpose to hold prices without attempting
to stimulate further speculative activity
until conditions should become more pro-
pitious to effect a general distribution of
holdings and realize speculative profits.
There was evidence at the outset Of the
week that stocks taken last week to sup

NEW YORK, September 15.-Reading had
the market largely to itself today, with
Baltimore and Ohio conspicuous pend
ant to the display and with a number OF
low-grade industrials making spectacular
movements in the background. The gen.
eral list was but little affected and the ma
jority of stocks closed at small net de-
clines, and were not notably active. The
failure OF the bank statement to come up
to expectations had something to do with
the result. But the violence of the move
ment in Reading and the lack of authentic
information to explain 1t had an unfavora-
BILE effect on speculative sentiment. There
were flying rumors in great variety, most
Of which pointed to closer relations be-
tween Reading and Baltimore and Ohio
Hence the parallel movement in that
stock. Other rumors pointed to the forma-
ton of a holding company to take over
