Corn Rules Steady—A Quiet Trade in Oats—Provisions Make a Poor Bhowing--Cattle Slow—Hogs airly Active. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmicaco, Oct. 30.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—Nothing occurred to-day to convulse the wheat market until the close. Its lines were quiet and trade unmarked by features of importance. Ason yesterday local sentiment was bearish but the bears have been made timid and engage in short selling with caution and a mental reserva- tion to run at the first sight of danger. Very little wheat was for sale and consequently little difficulty was experienced in putting prices down to any serious extent, und a: the bulls were not aggressive the change of prices was neither violent nor extensive. May opened at #1.175,G.18, sold early as low as $1.175¢ and gradually worked up to $1.185%¢. By noon it was back to #1173 and the market Jooked weuk but the stuff was ‘wanted around $1.18 and inclination of values ‘The drift was once more upward and by the price was $1.18%. December dragged along 1¢c or such a matter below May, and then came the grand hurrah, as described further on. The tenor of pointers from the outside was rather bearish, though there was no lack of ites of news favorable to the bulls. The milling demand at north- ‘western points, at Buffalo, and in fact at all interior markets is sufficiently active to pre- vent an important decline—in fact any de- cline. The most discouraging piece of news was from Minneapolis to the effect that the mills there were shutting down because they could not sell their product. This was de- nied and explanations offered to account for the shutting down of two mills on other grounds. Then came advices that wheat that does not show up at the principal points of accumulation in being hidden in country ele- vators, To this the statement of the Minneapolis market record show- ing that there s 10,000.000 bushels less wheat in ountry elevators than thero was a year agc, was submitted in refutation. Once more attention was called to the dwarfed condition of business at the sea- board, but when shipments of wheat and flour from the Atlantic came to be figured up it was fieured up at 224,(00 bushels for the week, which was not bad, especially when it 18 remembered that Pacific coast shipments are over 1,000,000 bushels a week. Cables were conflicting, butthe spirit of news, both telegraphic and mail, warrants the be- lief that the markets on the other side are in process of adjustment to changed condi- tions. There was only a moderate increase in the amount of wheaton passage to-day, and the views of foreign buyers seem to be conservative, In New York the professional aentiment is averse to further advances in prices for the present, but there a renewed and active investment demand has sprung up, Jaud on every little reaction wroperty is / quietly picked up. It must be laid away for it does not come on the market again on minor fluctuations, either favorable or unfa- vorable. Altogether the bulls do not have mueh the worst of it from a news point. The last half hour of the session proved to be the most exciting period of the day. The rally to #1.18}¢ mentioned above was only the be- ginning of the big whirl. Bloom, who had otten himself short yesterday afternoon and this morning about 1,000,000 bushels, started to covering. He found the market bure of wheat and started to bidding furi- ously. The market shot up to $1.19 and then with scarcely a halt went to $1.20 and a minute or two before the bell tapped $1.21 was the quotation. That genial party, “Old Huteh,” competed with the thoroughly frightened shorts for what wheat there was to be had. The 3¢ buige was one of the quickest turns that has been witnessed in weeks. 1t was essentiully a “short” flurry and 1llustrates the exceeding risk of reck- less selling of @& scarce article. The close was close to the top, viz. §1.19% for December and $1.203¢ for May. The spurt Was started on the strength of s staternent about light country elevator stock. The shorts did the rest. Exports of corn keep up to a steady stand- ard and promise to be of good assistance to domestic consumption in working off the large crop which is beginning to come upon the market. A falr amount of shipments and the before named steady export demand 'were the only visible reasons for the slightly improved fecling at the opening of to-day's trading. Receipts were larger than had been predicted and the weather was clear. Free selling, however, which immediately followed, soon brought about a different course to the tendency of prices, which gradually dropped S(o” from the opening price. Estimates of 415 cars for to-morrow, though so much under those of the past few dlyu, yet failed to give any strength & very weak market. Near l\llllr(-u were more depressed then the later months, which, 1 fact, did better than on the previous day. November closed 8t 403 @40'¢c, which is 1¢c under vesterday’ close, while December at the last quotation-— 89){c—wus lgc better and May at 387(c was Just even with the closing price of yesterday. ts partook of the general quietude else- where, ruling nearly steady. A few trading orders appeared for months in the current year, with May again the favorite. For that month there was considerable inquiry at 20c, but it was usually held a point above that, 'The range for all futures was practi- cally the same as yesterday, with seller Oc- tober entirely devoid of interest.

CHI0AG0, Oct. 80.—[Special Telegram to Tus Bex.|—CatTLE—Business was slow from opening to close, with a downturn of 10@15¢ on all classes. Eastman’s buyers have been out of the market since Friday lastand many of the other big shippers are buying only from hand to mouth. British markets are about as low as for any time this year and steamships that are engaged in the meat carrying trade are not making their usual regular time: hence the jslow demand from exporters and shippers to eastern markets. The Texans and rangers on sale were of & poor quality, many of the Texans, especially canning stock, going as low as at any time this year. Native cow stock d thin bulls were also down to the lowest figures for the year. Around about 82 was a big price for good cows and load after l0ad sold for less money. It was about as dull a day as nas been experienced this ear. The absence of the big buyers seemed {0 affect all branches. The run of cattle is sbout the same as last week so far, but it should be remembered that the last week's yun was olose up to the top motch.

Special Telegram w Tue Be 8700k — The market opered rather feverish at prices not far from last vAzht's close. There was gocd feel- ing reported in London aud from there came some buying orders in Reading, Union Pa- cificand Lake Shore. The im rovement abroad, however, was ignored by the bears, who renewed their attack on New England and Reading. Brokers who were thought to be acting for Cammack iere sclling the market, and fluctuations, while not wide, were frequent in the leading stocks. There was cousiderable of a see-saw movement and during the forenoon prices fell away somewhat till at 12 o’clock the market was weak at or near the lowest figures of the morning. The losses, however, were not large but mainly fractional. It was an irregs ular market all day. Cotton oil certificates were strong, closing at 13 points advance, while Missouri Pacific gained 1 point. At the close values were usually not to exceed 1 point away from the first figures of the morning.

He held in one hand a pad of paper, on which he made occasional notes as he gazed at a gang of workmen engaged in building a trench in the streets. A young man who had come to New York from Albany a week ago and had found a position as reporter on morning paper saw the elderly man sit- ting on the bench and approached him, **How do you do, Mr. Train he said to the man With the writing pad. The one addressed seemed too en- grossed in his task of watching the la- boring men. He did notlook up: neither did he reply to the verdant reporter’s salutation. The latter regarded this as one of the great Train's idiosy sies and was therefore not pleased. “*Ahem! Mr. Train, how d'ye do? Are you going to run’ for the’ pre dency this year?" The bearded man turned slowly around, looked the young fellow full in the face and said, as his brows kunitted in an angry scowl: “Will you please go and chase your- self around the block? I'm not “your man. Do I look like a crazy man? Go away!” The young man took himself off and a lelesram man who stood near by ap- prouched the with the sulul;tl)nu: Mr. Mec- Carthy? VOh. hnnn-r these people,” replied he. “I've been taken for George Francis Train a Gozen times to-day. 1 sat here watching my gang working at the trenches this morning and was making nots when about fourteen children came romping up, jumped all over me, pulled my whiskers, and cried: ‘Oh, Mr. Train, we're so glad you are back; we are so glad.’ 1'm going to shave off my whisker bearded man “How ure you, Te- b A Return to Duty. “L'his is always desired, and the speedier it o8 pluce the better. Doubly welcome is it he case of those usually industrious little organs, the kidneys, which, when they go on a strike—so to speak—and drop work, seri- ously imperil health in_more than one way. First and forel t. their inaction begets their disease, which is hydra-headed, includ- ing such dangerous maladies as Bright's dis- ease and diabetes, Next, when inactive they fail to assist in removing from the blood im- purities that beget rheumatism, gout and dropsy. Third, their inaction weakens the bladder. All this is preventable and remedi- able by the pleasant promoter of organic ac- tion, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, at_once a tonic and a regulator. This gently but effect- ually impels the kidneys to return to duty, and strengthens them and the bladder. Upon the bowels, stomach and liver it likewise ex- erts a regulating and mvigorating influence, and it strengthens the system, and averts and remedies malaria and rheumatism.
