The liquidation movement gathered in
creased momentum soon after the open
ing, being particularly noticeable In
Union Pacific which CINE out in large
lots at rapidly decreasing prices. The
weakness of this stock, probably more
than any other one feature was response
bic for the decline, which was most
prominent in the high grade issues.
United States Steel sold off with greater
ease than before. All through the list
new low records were established. Union
Pacific lost more than four points with
point losses in over half a score of
other speculative issues. The street was
full of rumors affecting this or that i'm
portant interest such as are invariably
prevalent in times of excitement. The
market rallied a point here and there but
it's undertone continued very feverish.
The market closed heavy, the first rally
was followed by another decline to pre-
vious low after which trading diminished
and the list developed a steadier ten
dency. Supporting orders at this point

Chicago, Aug. 12.-WHEAT-A tendency

We're increasing and the fact was recalled
that with similar condition last year the
country had an export surplus more than

Accordingly the market opened easy,

TOM BOTKIN'S FABLE.
He Speaks in Parallels About Second
District Middle.

Tom Botkin, assistant secretary Of
state, like Tom McNeal, has written
a fable, and in pointing out a moral
to adorn the tale he refers to the con-
gressional situation in the Second dis
trict. Mr.. BOtkins fable with apollo
gies to Mr.. McNeaD follows:
There was once a wise doctor who
Was unable to cure all his patients
with the lotions. nOStrumS ard pre-
scriptiOns recommended in the text
books of his profession and he was
sorely grieved by reason thereof. AT
ter years Of practice with only par
tial success he bethougnt him to pre-
pare a nostrum himself that would re-
form the practice and cure all the ills
that humanity is heir to. After much
labor and a good deal of noise he pro-
duced such remedy and he called 1t
SWiljillicum.
AT first SwiljilIicum was looked
upon as an experiment and many doubt
ed its efficacy. But after a few years
of trial it seemed to be working fairly
we'll and many ills of the people that
had formerly batfled the skill of the pro-
fession were cuted by the new rem
edy.
AT last the good and wise doctor
himself was taken seriously i'll. Other
doctors were called in and with one
accord they prescribed SWilJlllicum.
Much to their surprise he author OF
in vain that the learned doctors point
ed out the fact that it was his own
preparation and that it had proven
successful in many similar cases. OBJ
stinately and without Offering any good
reason therefor he refused it. As a
last resort the family was called IN
to decide the matter and they voted
unanimously for Swiljillicum and two
husky sons of the good doctor held him
While other members of the family
poured the dope into him. The wise
doctor speedily recovered and ever af-
terward was strong for Swiljillicum-
Moral: Never refuse to take yo1r own
medicine"
"somehow," said Botkin, "this fable
reminds me of the situation in the
Second congressional district where the
good and wise political doctors who so
ably assisted in the preparation of the
political Swiljiliicum l-nOwn as the pri-
mary election law that was to cure all
the ills of the body polite are refus-
ing to take their own medicine It be-
gins to look as though these doctors
will have 10 be held While the voters
pour the dcDe into them"

TRADE is EXPANDING.
Increased Activities in Business Are
Looked for In the Fan.

New York Aug. 12--R. C. Dun &
CO.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
There is further evidence Of feel
ing OF confidence that the autumn will
bring a broadening in trade activities,
while business now continues to ex-
pand moderately.
The expansion in the demand for
steel products continues very gradual
strong competition is noted in finished
lines whenever important business is in
prospect and concessions in prices are
reported. Railroad buying is restrict
ed, but conditions in the structural di-
vision are more promising. contracts
Tor 5000 tons of steel for local sub
way extension having been closed. Pig
iron production demand fell largely
below the output for June. A marked
tendency toward firmnes5 prevails east
and an advance of IS PEI cent has been
made in some markets at the south on
deliveries extending through the year.
In cotton goods the adjustment of
cloths to raw cotton prices continues
the most difficult problem and is COM
phcated by the greater curtailment at
the mills
