CHICAGO. July 2S.-Authortative dec
laration that threshing returns of win
ter wheat are satisfactory as whole.
and that the yield of spring wheat so far
has been as favorable as could be ex-
pected considering climatic conditions
during the earlier life of the plant, had
the effect of making the tone of the mar
ket heavy today.
Trade was slow. Pit spectators were
selling and there was only scattered COM
mission buying. Closing of flour mills
because of accumulation of unsold stock
had a depressing tendency. Reports of
improved weather in France and Argen-
tina were also considered bearish factors.
Prices opened % lower to Is higher, the
latter for July. September started un-
changed to a shade up at LOIS to 1.O414
and declined to 1.035s.
Cooler weather and rains in a large
portion of the corn belt weakened quota
tions for that grain. Official predictions
were that the heat would be gradually
broken in the rans-Mississippi region
during the next thirty-six hours. The
market opened a shade to Il down. with
September at 651s to 6js, loss of 20 to

Provisions dropped because of a large
run. of hogs. Opening figures were
unchanged to 22h down, the Septem-

The FISH THAT
DIGESTEO LEAD

In 1860 an English nobleman tour
ing this western country ascended the
Mississippi river on the steamer Edi-
tor. He was in search of information
upon which to base book and he got
1t in great big chunks from his fell
low passengers. He was curious as
to the kind Of fish to be found In the
stream and the stories told him
could possibly not be excelled by any
expert fisherman of the present day.
During the night at Parkville one of
the crew caught a cat fish that
weighing $50 pounds and 1t was de-
cided that it should be kept intact
to show the Englishman the next
mornin. In the meantime wag
among the passengers had showed
down the throat of the fish two full
sized pigs-of lead.
rhe amazement of the Englishman.
&C the appearance and size of the fish
was great, but he was indeed aston
ished when It was disembowled to
see the pigs Of lead taken from IT,
He was told that was nothing unus-
ual. as the fish would swallow and
digest anything that might happen
to come In its way. The Engllshman
wrote his book and in its pages was
recorded, as fact, that the catfish
Of the Missouri river would swallow
and digest lead, and gave as proof
that he had seen two pigs of the
metal taken from the stomach Of a
fish. 1t has been this habit Of string
ing Englishmen that has made the
Yankee nation apear so ridiculous
among the intelligent folk of Great
Britain SO that what was intended
as a farce has finally become fixed
as prejudice.

CHICKENS Of YAKIMA
BOTHERED BY COMET
Birds Are Beginning to Lay Freak
Eggs as Sign of Mental Per-
turbation Caused by Visitor.

There is no use talking, Haley
comet is having its influence on the
affairs of this ea:th. Now it is the
chickens Of the Yakima valley which
are feeling the effects. First the
comet made the weather warm in the
west and then made it cold in the
Mississippi valley. Then it caused all
Sorts of accidents and now it has
made the chickens SO nervous that
they are putting all so sorts of odd
touches to their handiwork. a week
ago an Industrious biddy on the farm
of Mrs. G. r. White in the Ahtanum,
laid q regular comet egg. The egg
is about the ordinary size and ordin-
airy appearance except that it has u
tail a half inch or SO in length. This
makes the product look unlike any
other egg ever produced in the All
tanum and there can be no question
on the part of the person who sees it
of the influence of the comet.
Charles Campbell of Yakima City
has an egg which shows in different
manner the raging mental storm the
poor hen is under because of the ar
rival of the celestial visitor. The egg
is half larger than the ordinary egg
and contains some solid which rolls
about within the shell. AS the egg is
tipped back and forth the article
within can be distinctly felt to fall
from end to end within. The egg
presents problem to its owner. Mr.
Campbell is anxious to know what is
within. If he breaks the egg to find
out he won't have any freak egg. If
he doesn't break it maybe he won't
find the diamond. The reason that
it is known that the Campbell egg
was caused by the comet is that the
hen never laid such an egg before
She was a pullet at the time of tho
last comet
