COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Disagreeable Set-Back Waa Given the Wheat Market Yesterday. CORN WAS CONSIDERABLY STRENGTHENED Bilverman Faflare, Combined with the De. oline of Btocks In Wall Street and Disappointing Cables, Orippled Basiness Generally. Cuioaao, Aug, 8.—A disagreoable set-back was given the wheat market today. The first rebuff came from the suspension of Silverman, a leading private banker. The effects of this blow were more than over- come, but in the last hour the market slumped again on ugly rumors about mercan- tile concerns, the failure to work round lots of cash wheat for shipment and the light export business reported from the seaboard. Corn was strengthened by discouraging crop news and tonight, compared with last night, September wheat is off lc, corn is from 3¢ to S¢c higher, oats are unchanged, lard is 45c higher nnd ribs 25¢ higher. Wheat started lower and weak and during the first half hour sold off 1lgc from last night's close. Besides the Silverman fail- ure, the decline was due to lower stocks in Wall street and to some disappointment in the cables, which did not advance as much a8 many expected they would in view of the snarp rally here yesterday. [ T=1 The market dragged along for a time, gradually recovering its tone but making no material advance. Towards noon Logan, Behwartz-Dupee and some other leading houses got a string of buying orders, and as there was little wheat for sale the effort to fill them resulted in sharp competition. Wheat sold up 1}4c from the early decline, The crowd became bullish and when the leaders were observed buying vigorously sverybody seemed to be seized with the desire to follow suit. 1t was a part of the gossip that Schwartz-Dupee’s buying orders were largely from N. B. Ream. At tnis point un- favorable rumors were being circuluted and A fresh decline began. The market closed easy at about }gc from the bottom figures of the 0y, Corn opened with !{c advance and after selling up {c more reacted 5c on the Silver- man failure. The depression was of short duratiou, as the demand soon improved on increased buying orders coming in and the price reacted from B¢ to ¥, declined e, ruled steady and the closing was from (¢ to 3¢c from the top. The weather conditions caused alarm among shorts and a good many cume in on today’s upturn. Ths situation in the interior is said to be really serious, re ports being that the crop has boen perma- rently injured by the severe drouth and every day increases the damage. Oats were a little higher early, but eased off. Business was mostly local. The provision market was very quiet com- ’mmd with its condition for three days past. The general impression is that the bulk of the stocks have worked into the hands of P. D. Armour & Co., und that is considered a guaraaty of comparative steadiness in the meantime. Lard was taken to the extent of 4,000 tierces for shipment abroad. Lard was actively traded in, Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 160 cars; corn, 850 cars; oats, 200 cars; hogs, 15,000 head. Freights were slow, but offerings of boats not large. Rates to Buffalo were from 1lgc to 1i4c on wheat and 1c on corn.

Traders on 'Change Piayed for & Reaction in Business Yesterday. New YORk, Aug. 8.—The traders at the Stock exchange played for a reaction on the theory that yesterday's sharp rise would bring long stocks to market. They were assisted in their operations by the breaking out of fresh troubles in banking circles in Chicago, by the advance in the Bank of Eng- lund rate of discount and th® higher rates for sterling exchange here, and also by the unprecedented scarcity of currency,for which various premiums were paid today. The large issue of cl still another cause for the decline. learing house certificates was It was noticeable, however, that dospite tha efforts of the bears the market was comparatively free from excitement and that the drop in prices was brought about at the expense of a material increaso in the short interest. At the start some stocks scored a sharp advance, General Electric and Chicago Gas moving up as much as 3 per cent. Subse- quently the market yielded 1 to 6% per cent, the latter in Ch 53 to 467¢. * Gen icago Gas, which fell off from eral Electric declined 51§ per cent to 46; Sugar 47¢ per cent to 6ul¢; Man- hattan 3 Quincy per fir) { ver cent to 75; Rock Island cent to 1031¢; Burlington & per cent to 53%: Western Union 8 per cent to 75; St. Paul 8 per cent to 513 wanna of the list 5 to Just previous of from lington Lacka- per cent to 138, and the remainder 3 per cent. to the close there was a rally i¢ to 2 per cent, the latter in Bur- & Quiney, steady at the recovery. and speculation left off Taken altogether, the market received more effective support when raided than for many days past.

OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKETS, BOSTON, balanc ase of Cattle Recover Slightly in Price — Hogs Bound Up from the Slump. LHURSDAY, Aug. 8, The demoralization of yesterday was fol- lowed by very light receipts and somewhat improved markets. Compared with supplies for the corresponding four days last w there has beon an increaso of nearly 4,000 cattle and 1,000 sheep and a falling off of about 10,500 hogs. ‘The light supply of useful catue, to- gother with reports of a steadier mar- ket in Chicago, gave the trade a little strength, while an increased demand from local dressed beef houses caused a slight firming up of values at least for the more desirable beef grades. There was not much activity to tho trade and holders of western grass cattlo snid there was no improvement in prices paid for that class of stock. That only a small part of Wednesday’s big decline was regained is ovident from the fact that good 1,412-1b. beeves topped the market at 4, while medium grades sold around #3.25 and $3.50 und common stuff at & and $3.10, The feeling was beétter on all sides, still tho close found quite a few cattle still in first hands, “The cow market today was no_botter than it was Wednesday except that there was o better demand for the stock. Prices wero as low as they have been yet, common and canning cows selling at from 75c to §1.25 and good to choice butchers’ stock at from #1.75 o $2.50. Calves were perhaps a shade firmer at from $2to §4.25, but bulls were slow sale at very mean prices, from 75¢ to $2.10. ‘There was some life to the feeder trade, but prices were yery generally in yester- day’s notches, Good smooth 950 to 1,200-1b, stock sold at from $§2.50 to $2.75, while some common notthern *knot-heads” sold down around $1.25 to $1.75.

Krosh receipts were the lightest since early in April, and with a decrease in supplies so far this week compared with last of nearly 11,000 hogs, the bulls had a good avgument, ‘There were enough stale hogs in the yards to make the total offerings over 8,000 head. Fresh meat men wanted hogs and outsiae packers and butchers had good orders. At the'opbning packers were very indifferent, but toward the close they wero the biggest bulls fu the yards, Cudahy espe- cially bidding high, but not getting a hog, Good to choice light and butcher weight hogs sold from uia carly up to $4.50 late, while heavy and mixed hogs sold largoly at from $4.05 o $4.25..

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—|Special Telegram to Trie B 1—There wus & partial revival today in the cattle trade. Tho several classes of buyers wero well represented, and whilo there was no radleal ndvance in any grade of stock the tone of the general market wis sonsibly firmor. For yestorluy's cut of from 20c to 80 thers was no earthly excuse. There was an advance Monday in the London market of 1%c per Ib, and the recolpts here for the expired part of this week have been 2,000 head shortof the number recelved during the same time last week, but the dressed beef “ring" took advan- tage of the flurry in the down town markot to filch from the pockets of countrymen who fall into thelr clutches from 86 to #10 per hoad on ° :‘yhullm‘klxm ht. There were about 11,000 hoadof frasn recelpta and betwoon 9,000 and 9,000 stule cattle. Of today's arrivals It was estimnted 6,600 were Texans. Sales of natives wero lary §1,t from 81.50 to 84.40, whilo trom $2.50 to #3.50 took most of the westorns and from 81.75 to $3 the bulk of.the Texuns. Not all the cattle were sold. Tho hog market was firmer than on Wednes- duy. Buyers hud partially recovered their gquilibriam and wero less tnclined to “‘bear.” They fought agalnst any advance, but paid a noderate’ one’ novertl , the average of prices belng ubout from 10¢ to 16c higher than or yesterday. Cholce heavywelghts sold at frou 84.70 t0 8475 and thero woro soveral sales of light soris around 85,25, The advance in the latter was not as marked as the advanco n hoavywelghts, Considoring the magnitudo of the supply (there woro fully 40,000 head in the pons) the appreciation in” values, though trifiing ws compared with yostarduy's docline, was perhaps as great as sollers had any reason to expect. Prices were about ns at the close o’ ;estor- d:l¥u arket, ranging from $1 to $1.25 for culls 1o from $4 to'84.25 for cl muttons.

A GAME OF DRAW. The Mayor Made & Kalse and Swiped the 5 Pot. The mayor of a western town was play- ing a small game of draw in his office with the city marshal, the editor, the hotel keeper and a councilman, says the Detroit Free Pres At first the mayor was in great luck, and he piled the chips up around him a foot thick, and then he began slipping, and bafore very long he had only a couple left. The next deal gave him a great hand and ho wanted more chips, but he couldn't get them. The other fellows were in to clean him out and wouldn't lend him a cent. 0''Boys,” he said earnestly, “will you allow me fifteen minutes in which™ to make a raise?” They knew he couldn't borrow on the outside, 80 they agreed to that. “Here, Tom,” he said to a policeman who was watching the game, ‘skip out on the street and arrest somebody quick and bring him here.” Tom skipped in about a minute, and in about ten minutes he was back again with a victim, The mayor looked the man over. ““What's the charge, Mr. Officer?” he said, sternly. “Drunk and disorderly, your honor." “What have you got to say?" said the court, addressing the prisoner. “Guilty, your honor.” ““Ten dollars and costs,” decided the mayor, “‘with costs remitted if the fine is ‘pu.hl on the spot.” ‘Good enough, your honor,” and the prisoner pulled out a tenner and rolled out of the room. “Gentlemen,” said the mayor to the company, *T have a few minutos left, but 1 shall not ask your further indulgence. Give me 810 worth of chips,” and the mayor, with characteristic enterprise, swiped the pot. ———epa, Don't Discard the Suspenders.

And such doctors! Their efforts loft the Rnlh'ut worse instead of better. At last, owever, a young doctor gave Aunt Polly a 'prescription which, ho said, was sure to_help, if not cure, says the Youth's Companion. Uncle Josiah was a strict tomperance man. Nota drop of ardent spirits, as a beverage, had passed his lips. He was a man firm of .principle—strong and un- yielding where his well trained con- science was concerned. The doctor's prescription was eggnog. Aunt Polly was to prepare and administer it to Uncle Josiah at his bedtime, when slecp would follow and the headache disap- pear. Vory grateful the remedy proved, pro- pared under Aunt Polly’s skillful hand. Sho was generous to ‘a fault, and per- haps mixed a thimbleful more than the proscribed portion of whisky in tho nightly draught. As the headache was a very real fact, Uncle Josiah's conscience did not forbid him to give the remedy a fair trial. His usual time for retiving was 10 o'clock. When he was in bed Aunt Polly carvied to him the fragrant steaming cup. One night, about two wecks after he began taking the nightly stimulant, Uncle Josiah grew restless at about a quarter to 10 o'clock, and said “'Polly, I feel pretty tired; I think I'll g0 up now and be ready for my medicine and sleep.” “Well, Josiah, it's only a quarter of 10; but you do look tired, and I will pre- pare it now." The next week, one rainy night, as the clock struck 9, Uncle Josiah left his old arm-chair, a bright fire and his cheerful wife. He was ‘‘quite tived out and would have his nog now.” “What makes you 8o tired tonight, Josiah?" “Well, working about the factory all day, I suppose, Polly,” and he drained his nightly remedy and went off to sleep- One week later Uncle Josiah's bed timo came at quarter to 9 o'clock! He went up stairs, vut just before Aunt Polly was ready for him he called down: “Polly!” “Well, Josiah.” “Don’t bring up that stuff! ing down.” “Coming down! ready for bed!” “So I was, l’ullf’, but I'm coming down to be with you till 10 o'clock, and I shall never take another cup of nog!” d, He came down, fully dres “Polly, do you know why I have been I'm com- I thought you were and added: his waist for & woman, who fs laced up year in and year out, the doctor said: ‘A man and woman can't be compared in that regard.

Tt waq Just because I was ina hurry for that medicine; and when a man ‘oxim ta rolish whisky as I have been getting ta do there's a serpont lurking near, We'll both sit up till 10 o'clock and then sleep the sleep of the just. Not another drop shall pass my lips, Polly.” And he kept his word. - A RUSTIC COMPLIMENT, The Annoyanoce of a Sculptor Ohanged ta Ploasure. ‘When Hiram Powers, the American sculptor, had his studio in Washington he employed his spare time in carving likenesses of the wild animals with which he had grown familiar during his boyhood days among the Green moun tains, It was at this time that he made the figure of the couchant panthor which nov adorns one of the rocks on the main driveway in Contral park. He was very much interested in this pioce of work and did not like to be inter: rupted, says the New York Times, One day a raw mountaineer from Vers mont, who had como to Washington to seo tho sights, thinking that he must not return without paying visit to his talented countryman, sauntored into the studio. Mr. Powers paid no heed ta him and did not ask him to sit down, but the Vermonter was not abashed, Ho not only remained, but ho came so close to the seulptor as to intorfere with his work. Mr. Powers tried in various ways to intimate that his visitor's room would be vastly better than his company. Still he stayed. At last tho wugpwr called the office boy ana bade him sweep. As the studio had not been visited by a broom for a month, thoe eloud of dust was almost suffocating., The Vermonter choked and coughed, but did not let go. He still stood with his gaze rivited upon the pieco of stone that was recoivin such wonderful grace undor the skillel hands of the artist. At last Me. Powers could stand it no longer. Turning to the countryman he said, with a savage frown: ly friend, I shall be very much obliged to you if you will put yourself on the other side of that door.” The countryman began backing toward the doorway, not once removing his eyet from the panther. “All vight, sir,” he said, “I'll go, but —Dbut—geewhittikor, what a gpring she't goin' ter make!” “That,” said Powors, “‘was the most genuine compliment I over received in my life.

Third: The best advertising Pearline has ever had (and it costs nothing) is from every women who has used it.
