CHICAGO GRAIN

sneoIe1 service to The Herald by ]. c. VIII
son, member Of the Chicago board of trade
New York stock exchange and San francisco
bond and stock exchange, 212 west Firth street,
Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Wheat closed at about
the best prices, although early the market
ruled lower, Influenced by yesterdays govern
ment crop report and continued free receipts
of wheat northwest and southwest and weak
ness of cash wheat here. There was some help
to the market from the higher quotations at
Paris, and the additional claims of rainy
weather and bad crop reports from France
The government figures of yesterday were a
surprise on winter wheat, 44OO0,O00 pusheis
larger than a month ago and 1200O,0 bushels
larger than year ago, while the spring
wheat lost about 1000 900 bushels from last
month and is about $4,000, 900 bushels less than
a year ago. St. Louis reported better mllllng
call for wheat today. On the early breag there
was demand from shorts which absorbed the
liuuidating wheat. There was talk or some
export business in Durums and Mantobas, and
a rumor of some business done at Baltimore
which could not be confirmed The movement
OF wheat southwest was smaller Kansas City
only having 1852 cars, but this was partlcaHy
due to rains. However, the lighter run gave
some bulls courage to buy. Reports from the
spring wheat country Of larger yields than
expected While the wheat is accumulating so
rapidly it will take strong foreign news ana
export business to prevent declines.
1t was rumored late that 25O000 to 100000
bushels of wheat were sold today for export
part from Duluth.
Corn closed frmer. Trade made very good
showing today. Government figures show
falling off of more than six points in July,
although it leaves the largest crop on record
in promise. This, supplemented by official re-
mort of a sensational shortage in the hay crop
had much effect on trade at large and made
holders stubborn. Some of the large commits
sion houses were fair buyers, but dld not puy
heavily. Weather is the best sort imaginable,
and the condition of the crop is now undoubt-
edly better than when the government hgures
were made up.
oats a little irmer, Influenced by much the
same considerations as corn. Shorts were fair
buyers hedging sales moderate, cash oats e
movement of grain recently has made firm
money market
The provision market very small af-
fair with v..lues inclined to sag following an
opening show of strength which was due in
mart to buying by shorts and local scalpers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The develop
ment of positive strength in the stock
market today was the outgrowth
largely of the power of resistance TO
unfavorable factors. The depression or
the early prices was so moderate as to
serve as a warning to the better ele-
ment that present holders of stocks
would not be induced easily to call.
The advance in prices was largely due
to demand from uncovered shorts. The
dealings were, in large degree, pro
fessional and Reading, Union Pacific
and United States Steel absorbed more
than half the total transactions.
The quiet tone of the corn market
today and a downward tendency in
wheat left no room for sensational in
ferences of harm to those crops. The
weather news of the day was good and
the tone Of the weekly bulletins of the
weather bureau strengthened the as
sumption that improvement had been
going on since the rate of the monthly
government report.
RAILROAD DIVIDEND ACTION
In the field of dividend action there
was the increase in the Canadian Pa
ciflc and the maintenance of the Sloss-
Sheffield dividend. The Canadian rail-
road stock made q strong response and
the sympathetic effect was particularly
remarked on the stocks of the trans
continental railroad lines.
The better feeling over the crop
promise was of far-reaching effect.
President Brown of the New York Cen
trail asserted that he was influenced in
placing large orders for new equipment
by the conviction that good harVests
were assured.

Hundreds of Marines and Citizens
Dead.

Rio Janeiro.-Governme troops
are again in control of the garrison
on Cobra Island, and the second mu-
tiny of the naval forces has ended
with a heavy casualty list, but in a
way that probably will prevent fur
ther risings for some time.
The mutineers, who composed a
battalion of the marine corps, num-
bered about 600 men. Of these, 200
were killed or wounded. The others
were taken prisoners by destroyers
while attempting to escape from the
island in the night.
Two hundred citizens were either
killed or wounded while watching the
bombardment from the streets or
along the waterfront. Many govern
ment buildings were damaged, includ
ing the treasury, the foreign office and
the departments of public works and
telegraphs.

new "CHRISTMAS CAROL"

Not by Charles Dickens, but an In
cipient Parody on His Famous Story.
Barley was dead to begin with. He
was as dead as doornail, which must
be going some in the dead line. as peo-
pie have been using a doornail as a
simile Of death for several centuries.
But Smoodge was alive and kicking.
Smoodge kicked particularly against
Christmas presents. He didn't believe
in Christmas presents. Barley, his old
partner. dead these seven years, hadn't
believed in Christmas presents either.
When Smoodge shut up his ware
house and went home on Christmas
eve-he lived in lodgings that had been
Barley's-the doornail assumed an ex-
preston which he had never noted
there before. The head Of that dead
doornail resolved itself into the head
of Barley.
"Hey. Jacob; thought you were
deadw cried Smoodge.
$50 I am, Ebenezer." replied the vi
talized doornail. "but I've come back
to warn you that you will be visited
at midnight by three ghosts, one after
the other. So long. Eb"
Barley's ghost again became a dead
doornail. Smoodge went to bed and
promptly at midnight was awakened
by an apparition. 1t was the first OF
the three spirits. 1t seemed to craw
out from under his bed. It danced or
the footboard Of the bed.
II am the Ghost Of Christmas Pres
ent Past" said the spirit.
You look to me like one Of thos.
slippers my niece gave me last year,
said Smoodge.
"You win," said the ghost and van
ished.
Presently the second spirit arrived
doing a merry dance over the wash
stand.
"You look to me like another slip
per-" said Smoodge.
II am the Ghost Of Christmas Pres
ent Present" said the spirit.
"Ha. 1 see" said Smoodge. YOUR
one of the slippers my niece is goin
to give me this year"
Whereat Spirit No. 2 smiled and va
moosed.
