Like the Irish Steak.

Elisha Lee, chairman Of the con-
ference committee of railway man
ayers, said in recent interview in
New York:
Our exorhitant profits are as
mythical as the good steaks OF Ire
land.
AN American, you know was tour
ing Ireland, and stopping at a
wretched inn he said to the young at
tendant gayly, rubbing his hands:
"'Aha, young man. I'm as hungry as
a bear Grill me at once one of your
famous Irish steaks-one Of those real
Irish steaks. juicy and tender and two
inches thick, with fried potatoes and
onions"
The lad stared at the traveller. Then
he dumped out. On his return the
man asked:
"'Well steak coming on all right?
"'Bedad, sorr,' said the boy, father
says that If he had a steak like that
in the house ned ate it himself, SO
he would!"-Washingto Star:

Cattle.
Owners Of cattle were handicapped
by the large number of cattle left over
from last night unsold. Best however,
held steady.
Mondays erratic advance on the
scant pre- holiday supply was obvious
" responsible for heavy loading at
country points Wednesday. Western
Iowa contributed a big supply of short
fed and grass steers and as well fair
quota OF good TO choice grades, most
of which doubtless would not have
come into the trade were it not for the
bullish prospects which went out from
here OF Monday. Nobody had looked
for the excessive supply in response to
market messages Of Monday and being
at hand killers simply swung their war
club over the market.
Shipper demand. which was active
on Monday. fell far below today. 1t
was case of generous picking for
both packers and shippers. the supply
being in excess Of demand all around
and big decline was inevitable.
The run was largest since May 20
and one of the heaviest Of the year 1t
was plainly the result Of many ship
pers having figured that mldweek sup
ply would fall short. owing to the July
4 holiday, but in this belief they were
sadly mistaken and a plling up Of sup
ply far in excess Of demand occurred,
throwing the trade situation back into
the same weak shape noted late last
week A period Of small runs for the
next ten days is nov remedy >the
trade is prescribing to afford recupera
ton from badly weakened price sit

Side OF Market-oats Are Governed
Mainly by Action Of Other Grains.

Chicago, July S.-Excellent harvest
weather for the winter crop and Of a
kind to force growth in the spring
crop region tended today to ease the
wheat market here. Lower cable quo
tations also counted against the bulls.
Opening prices, which ranged from a
off to "a up, with July at S1.OS34 to
$l031s and September at $1.Oo5s To
s1.O55s, were followed by slight rally
and then a moderate general setback
Reports that one-third OF the crop
in Kansas had already been harvested
led to further weakness. The close,
however, was unsettled at los Is for
July, and 1861 for September.
Corn.
Corn, like wheat, inclined downward
owing to good weather. Pit specuiat-
ors took to the selling side. After
opening "A to 4 lower to shade ad-
vance, prices scored some gains. but
soon underwent sag all around.
Good export inquiry helped later TO
give the market strength. The close

Oats.
Oats were governed mainly by the
action of other grains. Trading Was
light.
Provisions.
Higher prices on hogs failed TO lift
provisions A demand for lard was
offset by liberal selling of pork and
