W. hood Pleasant, obliging. will
ing to inconvenience himself
If need be to do favor for his friends
and neighbors, he was often called upon
on his weekly trips to town to do their
errands. Those who knew him most
intimately never suspected that he pos
sessed one grain of self conceit, yet be
it known that he had one popularity
that savored somewhat Of that unde-'
sirable quality in that he secretly be-
lieved every marriageable female for
miles around to be scheming to provide
herself with a husband at the expense
Of his bachelorhood. There were two
women whom he studiously avoided
Mary Ann Spratt, thin, angular,
sharp tongued spinster of fifty, and
Mrs. Mudgett, plump, smiling, rosy
little widow Of the same age
On this particular morning, the 14th
OF February, to be exact. the deacon
hitched up and started for town.
The afternoon was waning when
the deacon drove home with his wagon
we'll filed with dry goods and pro
visions. Miss Spratt invited him to
sit while she told him about the leak
around the chimney; then came the
flow Of after talk, which he SO much
dreaded When the confidential stage
was reached. however. the words Of
"The Spider and the Fly came to

laying his bundles upon the table

stove, enjoying it's warmth, and would
fain have stayed, longer had not tiny

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Expected enlarge
ment of the domestic visible supply total
Monday handicapped the bulls today in
wheat No important rallies took place
and the market closed steady at the same
as last night to &C decline. The outcome
in corn was unchanged to Nc lower and
for oats a shade off to 14c up. Provisions
finished irregular, ranging from 40c down
to 7l2c advance,
Arrivals OF wheat at primary points
today were 2,839OOO bushels, as against
l,6S6,O0O bushels for the corresponding day
year ago. Another bearish circumstance
in this connection was the fact that north
western stocks showed an increase of
about 100000 bushels for the week, COM
pared with 2,C4O,OO0 bushels last year. The
outlook adverse to the bulls was made
more so by absence of export business
no sales TO foreigners being reported ex-
cept 10000 bushels at the gulf.
Difficulty in arranging New York eX-
change was said to be the only impedi-
ment to larger shipments Of wheat from
Winnipeg to Europe. The transatlantic
call for cheap Cargoes from Canada, how
ever, was encouragement rather than a
stimulus to holders here. So also was
gossip to the effect that Liverpool was
counting on receipts there being liberal
in the future from Argentina.
Corn held relatively steady as a result
of export sales at Boston and of clear
ances at New York for Bordeaux. Wheat
weakness, though, acted an offset.
Oats, like corn, received support owing
10 requirements of the export trade AS
much as 100000 bushels was said 10 be
loading TO go to Sweden.
Provisions scored fair gains in January
contracts for meats and on all deliveries
for lard. Nearby options of pork and
lard were bearishiy affected by smallness
of cash cali from the south.

New York Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, Sept 3.-COTTON-The
report OF the conference committee OF the
New York Cotton exchange today showed
that /, 100 bales of the old straddle interest
had been liquidated at Sc for December
as a result of yesterdays operations in
Liverpool. This makes a total liquidation
of $500 bales since the plan of the inter
national committee was placed In opera
tiOn and there were rumors that the out
standing interest had been further re-
duced through private settlements. A re-
port from the special committee on by
laws suggesting that the market be re-
opened for trading in government grades
was also taken as pointing to a resump-
tion of business within the next few
weeks Reports from the south indicated
further declines i'm the spot markets,
which encouraged rather a pesslmistic
view of values among local operators,
eastern belt failed to create any fresh SEN
timent with reference to the size OF the
crop.

CATTLE-Receipts were small, as usual
on Friday, only 35 cars being reported
in, but for the week the run has been
very liberal. There were really not
enough cattle on sale today to make
market and prices remained quotably
unchanged from yesterday.
Corn-fed beeves have been scarce all
week and practically steady prices have
been maintained. The best range beef
has also continued steady, but the COM
mon TO pretty decent kinds are l692Oc
lower. Cows and heifers have suffered
about the same amount of decline, some
of the choicest killers being possibly l0a
15c lower with other kinds as much az
15025c lower. Even Gamer cows have
suffered along with the others. Stockers
and feeders have eased off under the
large receipts and are l5Q25c lower than
Monday, with a good many cattle still In
the hands of spectators.
