THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:INONDAY, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wheat Bulls Find it Diffloult to Advanos Prices. CORN’'S GOOD SHIPPING DEMAND., 1t Continnes the Chisf Keature That Ccreal's Trading—Provis- fons Show Moroe Strength —Hogs Higher. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Ciicaco, July 20.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bee,)—~Wheat was dull and lower to- day. The bulls find 1t dificult to put prices up in the face of improving northwestern crop prospects, impending heavy receipts, lack of actual free exports and an absence of abroad speculative inquiry. It is true that foreign advices are bullisn, both as regards crop and market news, but then foreign houses are generally long for speculative ac- count, and it is not forgotten that the foroigners are prone to take profits on very moderate bulges, and tho scalping trade argues that they are helping the market up to sell out. December wheat opened in this market at 801<c, which was an over night gain of ¥c. Right from the open- ing there was & disposition on the part of the bulls to sell out and on the part of the bears to extend their spoculative risks. Hutch, as usual, “bucked the crowd,” but his efforta in that line did not seem 10 be crowned with success. The price went 10 79%c, reacted to 70%c and worked down 10 7030, with heavy selling below 70}¢c. The crowd was short, however, and the buying ®ave the bears a little nervous tremor, set- ting them to covering and giving the market an appearance of & firm closing at some re- covery from the usual inside figures, Decem- ber closing at T9%@i9}ge. July wheat was noticeably weak. It openea at 80%c, sold at Slc and down to 70if closing _at 795%c. September ranged at 783 @79%c aud closed at 77%c. Trade was light in the aggregate and news of an. unusually inconsequential character. It is probable that the visible suoply decrease ‘Wwill be over 500,000 bushels this week. The average decline in long futures is }{@gc. July lost 11¢c. The feature of the corn murket continues to be the excellent shipping demand for the daily receipts, the argument from which is that extensive users of the article throughout the country are content to buy it freely at the current price, even with very fair prospects for another @ood crop. The a vance in the price of cash corn is something more thao is indicated by the actual quota- tions, freights having been also gradually hardening. The clearances for the week from the four principle Atlantic ports were 980,650 bnshels, Near deliveries are feeling the influcnce of the strong demand for cash, and are relatively firmer than more deferre: future The changes in the end from Frida; sclnllnz figures were very slight, since July and September gained cach 1-16c. The balal of the list was unchanged. July ;k;ml at 85%@35¢c und Septewmber at 853@ Oats were less intensely dull than yester- day, though not active, with nearly the vious prices continued. Fair trading i noted in July, chiefly at 22%c, and later offered at September 2K @2, May easy the former point of '25%e. ~ Crop conditions were generally favorable and with plentiful supplies of old oats in the country yet to come forward. The long side of the market received little support. No 2 oats to go to store were steady at 23ic. Local stocks were reduced 49,395 bushels. Provision traders were favored with a stronger market. The opening generally was at prices closely corresponding with f:lwnluv 's closings, and during the orn- g the changes made were in an upward di- rection. Unexpected buying by leading ckers made the shorts feel uneasy, and nduced a good many of the late persistent bears to change their tactics. During the first hours of the session there were more buyers than_sellers, a strong feeliug held control and better prices prevailed. Later, ‘when the buying became more restricted, the trado eased off, yet the day closed at & substantial improvement, which in pork amounted to 10¢, in lard 'to 5c and in short ibs to 5@7i4c. * September was througtiout the fayorito future delivery. It sold at $11.125¢@11.873¢ for pork, #5.80@0.87}¢ for lard and $5.00(@b.72%¢ for short ribs. Pork for September closed at §11.25, lurd at £6.85 and short ribs at $5.65. Pork und short ribs for August ranged at 7i4c and lard at 10c under September. The only winter month receiving auy special attention was January, which sold at $10.10@10.12}; for pork and $6.00@5.05 for lard. ort ribs for January #tooa at §5.05 bid. Cash lard sold at *6.20@ 6.273¢, 16-1b green hams at 8%(c and winter cured 16-1b sweet pickled hams at 93¢c. CHICAGO LIVE STOOK MARKET.

Further declines were established in early trading when all snimation disappeared from the market. Grangers, Missouri Pacific and Northern Pacific preferred were the only stocks showing any animation at any time, and in those sharés the losses were the most conspicuous, the Union Pacifice losing % and the Atchison % per cent, while others de- clined smaller fractions. Before the end of the hour there was a_slight reaction, with promise of a better closing. The slight up- ward turn in stocks after 11 & m. was of short duration. Liquidation again set in and prices declined below the bottom figures early. The Missouri reduction of rates helped the bears.

Sylvia Gerrish’s Pretty L—imbe, This Sylvia Gerrish. by the way, is one of the most remarkable women on the stage, says a New York letter to the Chicago Ne She isn’t pretty, sho can’t sing, but she has the most wonder- ful legs and feet in the world. Nothing like them hasever been seen before, nothing ever will again. They have walked with her right into fame, popu- larity and a big salary. She doesn’t sing anything nor say anything, she simply walks down to the footlights, poses and prances, turns round und round so that they may be seen from every point, not even undertaking to dance with these beautiful legs lest such muscular effort might spoil their fault- less symmetry, and the enthusiastic au- dience cheers her with one accord and wants her to do it over and over again, which she is never loath to do. She 8 e feet five inches on her eols, but the slippers to which these high heels are attached are only marked No. 1, and by honest count, too The owner of the Thistle so worshipped those beautiful.feet that he filled one of her tiny satin slippers with cham- pagne, drank to the success of his boat, and then nailed it to the cutter’s mast; and though it didn’t bring him luck, he did not cease to worship at the owner’s feet until his defeated racer bore him away from the shore. These beautiful legs served excellently as sen legs as well. 'he owner is one of the most_ardent yachtswomen that ever sailed the seas, and she can handle a wheel against any female on the const. She has lovely apartments here in Now York, littered all over with bric-a-brac, which divides her affection with the sea and Wagner's music, and she really has some very good possessions in this line. Exquisite old Moorish drinking cups of gold and silver, covered with most beautiful incised work, old Per- sian vases, Japanese porcelnins and Aztec pottery, all of which have been presents to her. And sprinkled in among these are every sort of sea tro- phies, including an endless number of photographs of yachts, some of which she hus bought and many taken herself, for she is & skilled amateur photo: grapher, like nearly every other per- son one knows nowadays. Tho Retief of “People may say what they like about trashy novels,” said a Baltimore lady of wide literary acquaintance to a News reporter’” but I must say thut at times they are better than medicine for me. Iam, as plenty of other women are, a natural ‘worrie that is, T am given to borrowing trouble and looking ahead with apprehension of disaster to come. I should have been born a man, | somotimes think, and thus com- bat with the world myself; but sitting at home as I do, the mother of a family, and having to wait and watch my hus- band trying to lay up something for our old age in his own way, I cusily fall into the habit of useless worrying about the future, which tends to stimulate re- grot for the past, and often, I am sure, makes the present unnecessarily un- pleasant for those around me. For this ‘discase’ 1 found a remedy in silly novels, When Ifcel a worrying mood coming on me now 1fall to reading them They keep me from thinking; they soothe me into dreumless slumber; they require no mental effort for their comprehension; they stir no strong emotions within me; in fact, a short course of them induces a sweet torpor of the brain, which, to one aflicted as Tam, is u great comfort,” e & Habit, rashy Novels. Abuse of the Kiss The kissing habit has bee; its greatest extreme WmODE speaking peovle, and people of other blood are often amazed and amused by the universality and cheapness of the among the English natione Housokeeping. It is not neces- sarily an argument in its favor, how- ever, that it is thus found to be an nc- companiment of the highest civiliza- tion, for it may be promptly retorted that vice and crime also increase with | civilization, and that even civilized and refined people often keep alive barbar- ous practices inherited from savage an- cestry, The kiss, in its proper func- tions, has a fine significance, and may be made the vehicle of the purest emo- tions, the honest expreesion of legiti- mate feeling, a greoting full of genuine, voluntary sympathy and love. The kissing habiv is an abuse and a misuse. It has brought the Kkiss into disgrace and made it vulgar, cheap and hypo- critienl, Be it the province of this gen- eration of refinement and education to rescue it from its degraded estate and restore it to its natural elovated and el- ovating place and use in the social economy. R Pasteur and His Patiente, Out of 106 persons treated within a period of eleven months at the Pasteur institute at Rio de Janeiro only one died, and that one had neglected to fol- low the treatment as directed. In ixty-two of these cases the dog by which the patient was bitten was un- questionably mad; in the others it was impossible to determine positively the dog's condition. —— The Shark as n_Fighter. On Thursday, in Raritan, a party of fishermen out for sport had more than they bargained for. After catching a lot of fish with hook and line they de- termined to try net fishing. Their first haul was a brace of sharks weighing 900 ounds, The nets were badly torn, for oth fish struggled fiercely for their lives. It was impossible to drag them into the boat without first killing them, and harpoons, spears and boathooks were energetically plied. Thesmaller of the captives soon succumbed, His big com- panion fought almost as long as a shred of his body hung together, and was lit- erally cut to pieces before he died. He was ibout nine tectlong and weighed 500 pounds.
