CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, August 3.-The wheat market
opened strong. apparently all the commits
sion houses having seemingly unlimited or
ders to buy wheat. The result was a wide
huctuation in initial quotations. the prices
in some instances rising more than &c per
bushel above Saturdays closing figures.
The new crop months showed the greatest
advances From light recessions' owing to
proht-taking sales prices again advances
toward the end OF the first hour until May
touched $1.O1%, December s7A and Sep
tember 94h.
The bullisb sentiment was entirely due
to the news from the northwest where the
new crop is said to be in a serious condi-
tion owing to black rust and high tempera-
lures One report claimed that the blight
has appeared in the wheat fields of Mani
toba and revised estimates had cut down
the yield of spring wheat from 25 to 40 per
cent. Realizing sales appeared toward the
middle of the day, but prices had quieted
and prices were maintained throughout the
remainder of the session. September open
ed VI a sc at eSc to 93%c advanced to 81 Bc
and closed strong at s4%c. December clos
ed at 96%c and May at $1.00A.
The corn market also opened excited and
strong owing to the continuance of exces-
sively high temperatures over the greater
part Of the corn belt. Reports from CEN
tral Illinois asserted that the new crop was
beginning to fire owing to the hot dry
weather Trade continued extremely active
all day and despite liberal proht-taking the
market held strong. The market closed
strong with prices near the top. Septem-
ber opened 1A@Nc higher at 76Ac to
76Mc and closed at 76Ac. December clos
ed at 65Ac and May at 65Bc.
Oats displayed considerable bullishness
because of the hot weather in the, north
west but the market was much quieter than
wheat and corn. September closed at As NC.
provisions were weak at the outset owing
to a 5@10c decline in live hogs. The close
was firm with September pork up 21Ac, lard
TIC higher and ribs unchanged.

A Problem In Numbers.

No one Is known To have succeeded
I'm finding two integral numbers such
that the sum Of their cubes would pro
duce the cube OF n whole number. The
cubes Of the first ten numbers give the
following series: l-S-27-64 l25216-343
6l2-72o-l 900 This series may be pro
longcd indefinitely. The problem would
then be To find two members OF the
series such that their sum Is just equal
20 another member. Adding l25 and
2l6 we get 34l, which Is certainly
pretty close to 3i3. Again. adding 2lt
and 5l2 we obtain 72S. which is with
I'm single unit of 100, another member
Of the series Another example OF I've
ing very close, hut not exact. Is that
100 plus 1000 gives l,729. which Is but
n single unit more than l,72S. the cube
of IL, II will thus be seen that the
first twelve cubes yield two cases
where the approximation Is but a unit
out OF the way. AZ the possible cubes
are infinite I'm nupber. II may seem
worth while To prosecute the Search

Horses are particularly sensitive to
music. Guenoe. who carefully studied
the matter, quotes the following curl
Gus fact: "In 1892 the Fifty eighth reg

tary test march when the music struck
up. The young horse Of Captain De
II. FASTENED forward and placed itself,
In spite Of Its rider, behind the last rank
Of the musicians. Then II followed
peacefully, giving obvious signs Of
pleasure.
when the music ceased the captain
was able to resume his place at the
head Of his company. but the band
struck up again. and the horse, not.
withstanding the efforts Of Captain De
R., galloped ahead and once more
placed itself behind the musicians.
This happened every time the band
played"
