[ ————e OMAHA DAILY COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Big Spurt of Buying Was the Feature in Wheat. CORN WAS ON THE WHOLE QUITE FIRM Wheat at the Opening Was n Fraction Higher than the Closing Figare of Saturday—Shorts Wern Quick to Take Alarin, Citicaao, Aug. 21.—A big spurt of buying was the feature in the wheat pit tod Much of the enthusiasm soon tired bat there was enongh earncst believers in the advane- ing tendency to sustain the price up to the close. Corn was on the whole firm although closing & shado low for September. Oats are unchanged and provisions although very dull, ave 45c highor for pork, 32!¢c higher for lard and 85¢ higher for ribs. Wheat at the opening was about from 5¢o to J¢ higher than the closing figures of Baturday, advanced from 9 to 'ge¢ more an i then prices receded e, held steady, re- covered slightly and the close was about 3¢ higher for Sovtember and from 3 to %o for December than tho close Saturday. There was o goneral impression that the general wisible supply would show a large decrease. The prospects of early congressional legsl. tion were brighter and there was liberal speculative tuying. Shorts were quick to take alarm and covered frecly, whila there was little for sale. A ood deal of the buying was suppesed to be for C. H. Smith, the “plunging” neohew of Ed Pardridge. who was believed to be short @ line of about 800,000 bu. Late in the ses- sion wheat was notso well supported. The top prices wero made on the spurt and when the plungers got their wheat back there was simply a_good steady market. There was considerable bull news in corn for the day. but the receipts suddenly loomed up very largoe and this appeared to offset other influences. The general esti- mate was for 30 cars and receipts were 404 cars. When the official eftimate for Tues- aay was given out it was for 050 cars. Prices rade was not large. ;tions wer s. Cl s ions we Therefwas somo bidding for ribs and lard by Armour's kers, but offerings could hardly bo eged out of any of the small number of traders, who appeared to have enough interest in the business to sit around in the neighborhood of the pit. The small movement of hogs was given as the reason for the advance in prices. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 150 cars; corn, 950 cars; oats, 585 cars; hogs, 12,000 head The leading futures ranged as follows: T3 G1%ane 013 G2 g ol 0% awe " g x| 0@ 4 iy Al a1 2974 2434| 1 3034 50 | 30a30% 12 60 12 70 10 90 Cash quotations were as follow FLOUR—S| cady, unchan 2 'spri 61 B6@OHGe; No. 2 red, Gixe.

Enormous Trafic Successtully Conducted on the Brooklyn Bridee. The use of the Brookiyn Bridge by the residents of New Yorkand Brooklyn in the decade since it was opened has far surpassed all the caleulations of engineers and others in advance of the completion of the structure. The wis- dom of the men who widened the bridge, 30 that room was afforded on the road- ways for teams to pass each other and one slow-moving load could not set the pace for all the traflic, has been amply vindi- cated, and the policy that raised the height of the trusses so that ¢ of standurd size could be used instead of the squatty ones it was first proposed to run has also been shown to be w he grip in use upon the bridge curs has been shown by the success attending its constant_employment to be admirably adapted for the ‘use to which it is put, the life of a cable being much more pro- tracted than if the grip used with ordi- nary surface cars were employed. The system of switching cars at the termi- nals has proved successful for a fai greater traffic than it was expected it would be called upon to handle. In the ten years the receipts of the bridge from all sources have Dbeen avout $10,000,000, according to the figures furnished the Now York Post, and this sum has been nearly equally divided for maintenance and improvements. The original cost of the structure was $15,000,000 and the total cost up to the present time about $20,000,000. There has been abont 28 000,000 passengers carried in the cars since the railway was put in operation, the number increasing from 8,000,000 in 1884 to over 40,000,000 last year. At first the car fare was 5 cents, but was reduced to 3 cents a few years ago. Foot passen- gors were originully charged 1 cent and later one-fifth of & cens, but in 1891 th promenade was made frec. The carn- ings from carriage tolls, now only on half as highas formerly, are about $50,- 000 a year, SUPERSTITIONS OF THE S1AGE. Horseshoes and Other Talismansin Gen- eral Us You can scarcely enter a single dress- ing room without " finding the horseshoe in a prominent position, and as the actor moves to and froso will he carry this lucky symbol with him., Mr. Trving carried his horseshoe to America and back. Oune well known actor is said to be in possession of one of Garrick's teeth, Should he fail to carry it in his waist- cout pocket he would go about in fear that the fates would frown on him and his work. Scores of actors wear talis- mans round their necks—which, of course, are bidden from view; but in the matter of stuge superstitions it will be hard to beat that which is in vogue at every theater during the rehearsal of @ play, be it new or old, The last threo or four words of & new production are never spoken during the period of the rehearsal of the picee; most frequently they are never written by the author, The superstition of the theatrical world is that it would be certain to bring bad luck to the piece if the last words were pronounced on the stage before the first night. But s the pluy must have an end, and it should be kuown to sll prosent that it is at an end, the actor or actress intrusted with the last lines usually interlopes a word or two, Some- times 1t ends in this fashion: “And now, farewell. All is happily settled. I can now return home and welcome, Tum-tum-tiddle-um.” Or it may be (as is trequently the casc): **We can now depart hence, my friends, and— have a little refreshment.” “Yes, yes!” cries the actor passion- ately at rehearsal, us he ends the pay, “gll'is forgiven.

I have seen men carry for days cumbersome ar- ticles, of which they can make no use and buve no way of getting home. A boy of 16 belonging to my regiment per- sisted in carvying for nearly a weck a great bass drum he had come ‘across in a captured town, and when at last the col- onel made him drop it beside the road he burst into tears. In taking a little town in Louisiana I found a splendid, large sole léather trunk in front of one of the stores. Here was a prize. I pounced upon it, looking eagerly to see that no one came to take it from me, and for the better partof an hour I sat there guarding my treasure, wheu it began to 2,000 hoad;.market 10B16¢ higher; bulk, #4.80 @5.45: heavios, packers and mixed, $4.45@ Amount of bulllon gone | 6:80: Tights, ¥ orkers and plgs, 85.10@5.70.

It was perfectly empty, but there was no hope of getting it in the wagon, so presently [ walked away in disgust, to see another soldier take possession of it with all the eagerness I had dispiayed, and he settled himself to wateh beside it. After a long cogitation it seemed to strike him as it had me, that this was veritably a white elephant of a prize, and he saunteveg away to have his place instantly filled by a third man, and during that one day I must have seen a dozen men sitting beside that trunk, cach determined that no one should rob him of it, until that mental process of finding out its worthlessness under the cirewmstances was gone through with, when the old program of abandonment and fresh eapture would be played ad no means of Piles of people have pues, out DeWitt's witch hazel salve will cure th e MANY WOMEN LAWYERS, They Ffound Opposition At 0w Numerous. The number of women who have eained admission to the bar is much larger than has been generally sup- posed, says the New York Tribune, Most of the western law schools and many in the cast admit women as well as men students. In some of the states women had much difficulty in obtaining admission to the bar even after the law schools had granted them diplomas. Mrs. Bella A. Mansfield of Mount Pleasant, la.,was the first woman to be admitted to the practice of the law. She passed the necessary examination in June, 1869, The second woman who became a law- yer in this county ) far as is known, was Miss Lamma Barkalow of Brooklyn, N. Y., who was admitted to the barin Missouri in March, 1870, The third to gain the desired pr lege was Miss Sarah Kilgore, who was graduated from the law school of the Michigan aniversity in Mavch, 1871, Among the won lawyers whose names are best known in this country are Mrs. J. IZllen Poster, Mrs, Belva A. Lockwood, Miss Lelia J. Robinson, Miss Phaebe W. Couzing, Miss Alice 13 Jor- dan, who alone has a dc > from the Yalo law school, and Miss Mary A. Ahrens, well known for philanthropic work in Chicago. : Some of the women in the various states of the union who have become members of the bar use their legal knowledge only in caring for their own property, others are engaged exclusively in office’ work, but several appear in court and tran-act all the vsual business of active practitioners, There are several firms in the west in which the husband and wife are partuoers in carrying on the occupation of attor neys and counselors. fu one case the husbund is entirel deaf, and the wife consequently has th larger shave in carrying on active liti- gation. The vrofession of the law has 1ot yot become 80 popular among women as that of medicine, but the number of women who practice as lawyers has greatly increased within the last five or six years. irst, but Are —e Piles of people have pues, but De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure'thea.
