CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, August "A big increase in
the European visible supply, better crop
reports from France and heavy shipments
from Russia were among the foreign in
fiuences that were weighed on the wheat
market here today. Big receipts, fine
weather and decline in corn stood as
domestic factors even more forceful
against the price of the cereal. An aver
age Weld of twenty bushels to the acre
in Illinois. according to figures from 500
stations, formed a further bearish argu-
ment. In consequence there was quite
general selling by longs.
The market opened LAS to 20 lower.
September started 1aa5s to 70 down, at
lO2 to 1.O2A, and fell to 1.O1A.
Rains in Kansas made selling of corn
popular. Initial quotations were at de-
cline of II to ia. The start In the Sep
TENDER option was at 62a4 to 63ls, a drop
of q to rs, and the descent was contin-
ued to 62A.
Commission houses attacked oats be-
cause of the weakness of other grain.
September opened saA 10 asa1s lower, at
367sto BITS, and touched 36as.
\ firmer tone to the hog market caused
shorts to cover in the provision pit. First
sales were ) to 20 higher, with the Sep
TENDER delivery at 21.50 for pork. LOO
to 11.571a for lard and 40 to 11.471a for
ribs. Additional gains were scored.

DESERT RICHES,
Wild Pampas Produce Wool and
Hides Worth Millions.

From Harpers Magazine.
The pampas of Patagonia, famous for
their sheep ranches, are great, desolate
deserts, sometimes level as far as the eye
can reach, sometimes unduIating in grace
full monotony, and again a chaos of lava
rock. A few swift, dangerous rivers have
plowed steep canyons. In slighter de-
pressions, where snow melts and water
accumulates, there are grassy meadows.
Several hundred sheep were brought
from the Falklands in 1877 to Punta
Arenas, and sheep raising was thus first
introduced into the regions of the strait.
From this nucleus and shipments which
followed the stormy territorio de Magel-
lanes (of Chile) today carries perhaps
100000 sheep.
Punta Arenas is it's center and base of
supplies. To the north of the strait,
south of Rio Santa Cruz (Argentina), the
littoral and contiguous river valleys sup
port perhaps 100000 more
Thus this little lonely strait settlement,
the mecca of southern Chile and Pata-
gonia, is one of the great wool exporting
ports of the world, shipping away on
steamers three years ago over 5000. 900
pounds of wool, with a commercial value
of over $1,600,O00. In addition to this
there was sale of nearly 100000 pelts.
Thus sheep raising in these regions has

yet they go far toward piling up her en-

of sheep, making her first as an exporter
of frozen meat, and second only as
shipper of wool, justifying her maintain
ing in her beautiful capital the Central

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of 7a14
points OH continued covering and fresh
buying for long account inspired by
drought damage complaints from the
southwest and a private condition re-
port showing a deterioration of 60 per
cent for the month. This naturally tend
ed to confirm bulliSh views as to the prCb
able showing of the government figures
at midday, and while there was heavy
realizing at the initial advance which car
ried December and later positions into
new high ground for the season. offerings
were well absorbed at slight recessons.
The market was active and irregular
late in the forenoon on evening up for
over the report. but prices were gener-
ally well maintained, with active new
crop positions holding about Sa1o
points net higher The August condi-
tion figures of I.i.J per cent when is
sued proved to be just equal to expec-
tations. and was followed by heavy
realizing, under which prices eased off
to a net loss of about SAP points. al
though local statisticians claim that
the government figures point to a very
moderate yield. There was strong
buying on a SCaledown.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Ii any of the ten brokers who attended
the meeting of the stock exchange today
Rad orders for the purchase of any of the
securities listed on the exchange he con-
cealed the fact from his associates and
the public.
The attendance was about 30 per cent
lass than is usual during the busy season.
1t is believed, however. that if small
blocks of stock os some of the securities
had been offered at receSsions from cur
rent figures buyers would have been
forthcoming
In the bank stock list one of the bro
kers took notion to mark up the bid
price in some cases. In consequence the
bid for Columbia Bank stock was chang
ed from $50 to 30, and an asking price
was given as 90
The bid for Commercial Bank stock
was advanced a half a point. to 1881,
and then some surprise was occasioned
by an offer of one hundred shares or
any part at 1919, which is several points
less than the current asking price. But
there was no scramble for such
block: that is, the rush was not notice
able. and the rest Of the bank list was
finished without contributing anything
to the transactions of the day, except
the sale of five shares of the stock Of
the Merchants and Mechanics Savings
Bank at ISL.
Two small lots of street railway
stock served to satisfy the demand for
that class of securities. 1t was noted,
however, that the purchaser of ten
shares of Capital Traction stock paid
128 share, which is somewhat higher
than the prevailing rates, and shows
an upward tendency which might ap-
pear to be rather unusual in light of
the recent statement by President
Hamilton that the company is expend-
ing about a million and half of dol
lars in improvements and enlargement.
However. that furnishes a reason to
some for looking upon the stock as
more valuable than it was some time
ago. because these extraordinary eX-
penses are to be met by an issue of 5
per cent bond, which, in accordance
with the policy of the company, are to
be offered to the stockholders of record
at par. AS they sell at a premium.
such issues of bonds by the company
have always been in the nature of an
extra dividend.

Calais and Its Lighthouse.

From the Wide World Magazine.
Calais is rather an untidy place for
a French town. The Place d'Armes,
where the tower of the Hotel de Willie
has remained since the fifteenth GEN.
tury. is the center spot. Here Calais
meets it's friends and has its cafe noir.
In the square, towering out of the
roofs of surrounding houses and dwarf
ing them, is the old Watch Tower.
Since 1848 it has been superseded as
by the magnificent one at
present in use. Never shall l forget
the effect of this lighthouse as 1 stood
under it that night. The revolving
spokes of light cast away into filmy
space, in all directions. looked like the
ribs of a huge umbrella being turned
bv the white handle, which was the
lighthouse tower. So tall is this that
its revolving light can be seen from a
distance of twenty miles at sea.
