THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wheat Decidedly Stronger and a Good Business Done. CORN TAKES AN UPWARD TURN. Very Little News Ougside of the Pit to Influence the Market—Oats Mod erately Active—Provisions Disappointingly Slow. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmicaco, Oct. 19.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.] — December wheat opened this morning at 72%¢, a fraction above last night's closing, und May wheat at F7){c, or at lo above yesterday's top figure. A sag @72%¢ for December and to 77{@ May was the first movement, but the decline ‘was short-lived, there being good buying by Milmine, Bodman & Co. and by Hutchingon, and the up turn wus greatly assisted by the covering of local shorts. There appeared to be more ofitside orders to be executed than of late, though there is still room for im- provement in that respect.

Yesterday's activity led to the gon- eral belief that the dull period had terini nated and that from this time forward a fuirly active market at least might be ex pected. Hence, when business to-day, after @ brief spurt in the morning, fell back into its old slow rut, traders promptly changed their tactics and 4 hesitating feeling assumed con trol.

W Youk, Oct. 19, \e Bee.]—Stocks—The market presented a more stable appearance and those who ex- pected large action were disappointed. tuations on active propertics were narrower than for several days past and confined mainly to 1 per cent on Oregon railway, which advanced two poiuts, with only a few trades. The opening was easy with sales at o fractional decline. There was a good de mand for stocks in the loan crowd and pay ment at 182 to X per cent premium had o beneficial effect and induced the shorts to cover, The bulls also took hold moderately and o better fecling soon developed and prices reacted 14 to 1 per cent. The reduction of frelght rates in the west was used by the bears to depress prices on the theory that earnings would fall offt. Those reported for the second week in October, however, show fair gains over the same time last year. They had little effect, as the market remained stub- born and resisted the efforts to force prices down to any extent. The weakest properties on the list were Northern Pacific preferred, which after rolling )¢, proke 1% on rumors that another transcontinental line had been mapped out.

A mule can doa good many things, but it may be doubted whether he cau climb a tree, The Mobile Register, however, tells of a mule that climbed into a tree and died there standing. It was during the great floods in the Ala- bama and the high waters in April, 1885. The mule probably did not climb the tree, as the {h-;:inu-r suggested at the time, but rathe Mr. Debardele- ben says, was drowned on some of the plantations along the river and floated with the tide and lodged in the branches of an oak tree near the O'Neil Smith landing. When the waters went down the mule was left lodged in ti tree. Of course in the process of time the dead mule’s body decayed, and the bones and skin, driéd out by the wind and sunshine are theve yet. The form doesn’t seem very much changed except on close inspection, and at a distance looks exactly like a real live mule hang- ing in the tree.
