" The tendency of speculation Saturday was In the direction of higher prices. Reflection over night seemed to have changed the current or opinion regarding the speculative situation so far as it may be governed by the exportation of 'gold, and Friday's en

gagements were not viewel with any alarm, ia view oflho- now well-authenticated fact that the bond syndicate has sources of supply of which they can draw to reimburse the Treasury for any losses of the gold reserve fund due to shipments to Europe. The opening prices were practically unchanged, but a bear raid on Sugar in the early dealings sent the stock down a fraction. The general list was not depressed, and Sugar quickly sold up to 115, which is lxi per cent, above Friday night's closing, with a final reaction of , leaving a net gain of lk. The mark closed firm, with prices generally iGUfc per cent, above the closing sales of Friday. The volume of business on the week shows a slight increase over last week, and the trading was more widely distributed. An unsettll tone, however, characterized the dealings, and the market was mainly in the hands of the professionals. In the early operations the grangers displayed marked atrenjfth, and touched the highest figures of the year, the advance being stimulated by favorable crop advices. Later in the week less encouraging reports of the wheat and corn crops caused a change of sentiment, which induced realization and sales for the short account, and a lower range', of values were established. A rally was made in the final dealings, and the net changes are Blight, except that Burlington is down 1 and St. Paul preferred is up Zlk per cent. A very large 'business was done In Sugar, which was moved solely by clique manipulation. The Vanderbllt and Gould stocks were bought on the strength of expected maintenance of rates under the trunk-line agreement and the anticipated large grain crops.. .The. Cordage, shares made material alns on the announcement that the plan of reorganization of .the Waterbury committee was declared operative, and that a majority of the bonds and the greater part of the stocks have been deposited with the committee. On the rise there was some profit takinsr. whclh brought about a reaction, but the shares closed 5 per cent, higher for guaranteed. iy2 for the preferred and a; for the common. The announcement by the management of the United States Leather Company that a new issue of 6tock to the amount of $3,000,000 was to be made excited an unfavorable influence on the preferred stock of therompany, which had advanced 1 per cent., and which broke 3 per cent., to 85, recovering p; per cent, in the final dealing?. Tho week closed with prices generally higher. The total sales were 1.452,000 shnres. Tho bond market to-day was quiet but firm In tone, the sales aggregating $536,000. Chicago & Eastern Illinois consols advanced 1;, and Louisville & New Albany 1 per cent. The bond market for the week was molerately active and generally strong, the total sales being $11,690,000. Government bonds were quiet and slightly easier, with sales of S41.U00. State Issues were dormant, the sales being only $41,000. Tho onlv pales of silver certificates was $2000. at 66S.

LOCAL GRAIN AXD PRODUCE. Quiet AVeelc In Trade Circle vrltli Innettled Price in Some Linen. Trade in the week closing on Saturday was. rather quiet in mo3t departments, still no one was disappointed, as at this particular time In the year, dull trade Is expected. In most lines it is in excess of the corresponding period last year, and, as the fall comes on, a marked increase Is predicted, so promising are the corn and hog products, which ' are Indiana's best and most profitable products. Staple groceries continue firm. Coffees advance . c. In dry goods higher prices are indicated. Provisions are moving well for this season of the year, prices varying but little. Poultry, eggs and butter are in moderate request, and. with light receipts, prices are held steady. The hay market is easier in tone and prices on the decline. The flour market Is steady and unchanged. On Commission row trade the last week has been very unsatisfactory, and, with large receipts of fruits and vegetables, prices broke badly. Watermelons, apples and pears have been in large supply and stocks have accumulated until prices are low. Potatoes, on large receipts, are weak at our quotations. The seed market is still quiet, with better prices. Some wool has been coming in the last few days. The local grain market is active as could be expected under light receipts and the uncertainty of the future of the market. Wheat and corn are in good request. Oats are a little dull, and the demand is light. The week closed with track bids ruling as fdllows: Wheat No. 2 red. 66c; No. 3 red, 60c; wagon wheat. C6c.

Kayner, of Chicago. Mrs. Kayner is a daughter of the late E. V. Wilson, who was a pioneer In Spiritualism in the Northwest. She Is a stout, florid woman, whose presence does not in the least suggest the possibility that she is en rapport with the shades, but she demonstrated that she has a familiar in the spirit of an ancient denizen of the Nile country, whose peculiarity is a total indifference to fire. Mrs. Kayner explained that she first felt the influence of this familiar whom she calls Oscar, for no particular reason in 1878. She also said that the spirit performed through her a rather remarkable feat. Her son had been taken ill and apparently died. The body showed the usual evidences of passing mortality, and had been prepared for burial and pjaced In a casket. In her grief she was visited by Oscar and led to touch the body of her child. Just as the final preparations for burial were being made. The result was that the boy sat up in his coffin, and is now alive and well. Yesterday she was under the influence of this samu spirit, when she did some of the remarkable things which her familiar permits her to do with Impunity. As a preamble to her text Mrs. Kayner had a committee of gentlemen appointed, some of whom were very skeptical. Among them were two physicians. Two were requested to examine her face, neck and arms, to see that they had not been subjected to any chemical preparation for the fire test. They said there was no evidence of anything of the kind, and then, to make sure, they bathed the medium's hands and face very thoroughly. Then Mrs. Kayner went Into the trance state, and presently had become permeated with the influence of Oscar. In the meantime an ordinary kerosene lamp had been lighted and was burning briskly. In the trance state the medium did not change her appearance in the least or give any evidence of excitement. The physicians counted her pulse occasionally and found that it remained quite normal. The chimney of the lamp having became as hot as possible, Mrs. Kayner proceeded to take it off the lamp with her bare hands. She rolled it along her baro arms and laid It against her fair neck and cheek. Most of the people shivered as they sniffed with the expectation of smelling burning flesh, but there was no suggestion of anything of the kind. Mrs. Kayner borrowed a ten-dollar bill, and, taking its opposite ends between the fingers of either hand, she passed the note slowly through the flame of the lamp, and It was the turn of the newspaper man to Fhlver at the possible combustion- of all that good money. But Oscar does not believe in burning money, and the bill wa3 not even scorched. A celluloid cuff ouht to be, and generally Is, very inflammable. Mrs. Kayner took a very ordinary cuff from a young man whose taste leads him to celluloid, and passed the same through the flame of the lamp. By all the laws of nature that cuff ought to have been consumed in a flash, but it was not even smoked. The medium rassed her bare hands through the flame and never felt it. The lamp chimney came Into use aain, and. having been nicely heated, was handled with ease and without pain by Mrs. Kayner, although some members of the committee got themselves burned through too much zeal in performing their functions. One skeptical gentleman in the a&dience also suffered for his curiosity. He could not believe that the chimney was verv warm, and he extended his bare hand and requested that the bare glass be laid upon It. He was accommodated, and when, four seconds later, he moved his hand rather expeditiously, he left a nice little section of Ms hide attached to the glass. After the test Mrs. Kayner's hand and the oortions of her face and neck which had been brought into contact with the hot glass and the flame were In a perfectly normal state, not only free from any Inflammation, but quite moist and cool. The minute hairs on the back of the hand had not even been touched by the flnme. It was a remarkable performance. : After the test the medium was very much exhausted, and said that she knew nothing of the spirit under whose influence she had been, for she remembers nothing of what goes on while she 4s in the trance state.

GRAIN WENT DOWN

WHEAT RECOVERED PART OF ITS LOSS AXD CLOSED ABOUT STEADY. ' Chicago Oats Sold'nt the Lowest Figure Ever Known for This Time of the Year Provisions. CL'ICAGO, Aug. 3. Wheat at one time to-day had lost lc per bu of Its previous closing price, but recovered c of that It tried to get down to an export basis, and did, 150,000 bu being reported taken here to-day for foreign acount and shipment. Corn and oats had further heavy shavings planed off their already, thin values, and at the close, compared with yesterday's final quotations, corn was lc per bu lower and oats c lower. Provisions had to depend on shorts to do the buying, which caused prices to rally near the close to about the level of yesterday's resting rates. Wheat was weak at the opening and then became suddenly stronger for a few minutes. The first trades were at from 6S?;c to 6Sc for September, and Inside of fifteen minutes had risen to 69c At that point the offering and sale of about 200,000 bu by a prominent operator appeared to alarm the operators. The price broke again in a few minutes, and after effort to hold about the level of the ' opening price to which It had returned, the holders sought further relief and made another general rush to throw overboard a greater load of their holdings. Before 11 o'clock September wheat had declined to 67c, or a little more than lc below the close of yest3rday. Of fresh news to account for the day's additional weakness, there was none. The English markets were closed, being a bank holiday in England, and there was nothing fresh In the domestic situation. The European continental markets, however, were reported to be firm and higher, supposed to be because of wet weather, the European winter wheat harvest being In full blast and the . appliances for taking care of the cut grain being much inferior to those in use here. Chicago receipts were 73 cars, of which 71 were new red. and only 6 of the latter were contract quality. Minneapolis and Duluth received 9i cars, against 1W a year ago. The total received at the primary Western markets were 365,ou0 bushels, compared with yiO.oOO bushels on the corresponding day of the previous year. The week's clearances of wheat at and from both coasts, amounted to 1,460,000 bushels, against 1,265,000 bushels on the week previous. The day's exports were equal to about 115,000 bushels. The Paris market came unchanged for wheat, but 20 centimes higher for flour. Berlin quoted an advance of 1 marks. Argentine wheat shipments for the week were 96,000 bushels, so that the competition of that country may be considered over for the season. Russian shipments should also be reduced temporarily, at least, and with these reductions the European importers will have to draw from this side. They made a start to-day in that direction. Hotchkiss sold 150,009 bushels for export. Baltimore wired, early in the day 5u,000 bushels of wheat sold for export, and working on 50,000 more. The visible, which increased 2,000,000 bushels last year, is expected to show Si. decrease of from 300,000 to 500,000 bushels on Monday. After striking 67c, September wheat reacted ' to CSc and closed at 67 G68c. , :. . The corn market was weaker again today, and very decidedly so. September opened at 42c, Improved to 42c, dropped to 4l-?;c, and closed at 41341;c. Mdy from 35c declined to 34?c, and closed with sellers at Zc. It was a mere continuation of the effect of a stupendous crop. To-day's receipts were 409 cars. New York reported forty boatloads taken there for export, Freight room for 230,0u0 bushels was taken here. Argentine shipments for the week were reported at 1,125,000 bushels. Oats sold to-day at the lowest point ever reached in Chicago at this Beason of the year, and under any price that has ever been in New York at any time. Cudahy bought quite a great deal of September and sold May at a difference of 3c. Advices throughout the oats-growlng territory state an enormous crop; and 'With the fine.' clear weather now prevailing it would not be surprising to cut another almost equally as large. September offered at 21c, sold up to 21?;c, with the corn market declined to 21c, and closed at 21c. The provision market was affected by the small run of hogs to start with, then by the weakness of corn, and later by covering of shorts. Owing to the last-named cause, pork recovered 12c of a 15c decline, and lard and ribs each rose .OCc above the lowest price they reached early In the session. The hog receipts to-day were only 4,000 head, and for the week 59,600, against 1S2,775 on the corresponding week of the year before. The next week a rim of 75,000 head is expected.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3. Cattle Matured cattle are especially scare, and there is a lively demand for feeding cattle in thte market, but good feeders, suitable for early finishing, and few and far between. Fat natives that are good enough to sell above $5 are selling readily at better prices than those of last week, some sales showing an advance of 20c per 100 lbs. The Texas cattle receipts this week reach about 7,000 head, an increase of 2,000 over last week and a decrease of 5,400 as compared with the corresponding week of 1894. The entire supply of fresh and stale hogs was barely 8,000 head, and, although the general demand was nothing to boast of, prices were strong at an average advance of 5c per 100 lbs. Shippers were again the best customers, and nearly one-half of the week's receipts have been resnipped from here. As usual, choice light weights sold best, and the choicest sold at $3.25. Sales were made of common to choice light at $4.705.25; mixed and butchers hegs, $4,353? 4.40, and heavy $4.304.95. A week ago the best light sold at $5.25 and best heavy at $5.35. The bulk of sales to-day were at $4.75 190 for heavy shipping and $4.3534.50 for packing hogs. Sheep and Lambs As the receipts to-day were only about 1,500 head, the few offerings were easily disposed of at full price. About 57,300 head were received this week, against 66,380 last week and 48,800 the same week last year. Sheep were salable at $1.50 (34.25, according to quality, and lambs were held at $335.60 for poor to the best. Exporters have taken a few sheep this week at $3.7534.

LACK OF PATRIOTISM

AMERICA?? SCIEXTISTS . CRITICISED RY EXPLORER GREELY. London Sporting Circles Spring a Scandal on Prince of Wale's Horse at Goodwood Races Last Week.. LONDON. Aug. 3. The International geographical congress, which closes this evening, developed nothing original save the propositions for antarctic explorations. The American delegates to the congress, generally speaking, are satisfied with the decision to meet in Berlin in 1S9S, Instead of at Washington. Gen. A. W, Greely, however, was grievously disappointed and attributed the decision of the congress entirely to the attitude of Judge Chas. P. Daly, president of the American Geographical Society. General Greely said to a representative of the press that the reason the international geographical congress did not go to America for next year was on account of Judge Daly, who is one of the members of the committee appointed to make the arrangements for 1S96. At a meeting of the committee, according to General Greely, Judge Daly stated that America was not ready for an international .geographical congress. This was when Washington was proposed as the next meeting place. The Judge, it appears, claimed it would be too hot in Washington, although it was not proposed to hold the congress until late in September. Continuing, General Greely said: "I am an American and I wanted the congress to meet in the United States. Several of tho German members cf the committee who have spoken to me on the subject express wonder at Judge Daly's course. I think the present congress work will do much to cement good feeling between the two countries. It is interesting to note the growing respect for scientific questions considered from an American standpoint." General Greely's views of Judge Daly's course were not shared by his colleagues, who were apparently in favor of the decision to hold the next meeting of the congress in Berlin. M. Paul du Challlu said: "We are not ready for a congress. Better wait until 1S97, when the congress will probably come to America. In the meantime the most elaborate arrangements are necessary. I consider that Judge Daly acted wisely." Mr. W. W. Rockhlll, of the State Department at Washington, indorses the views of M. Du Chaillu on this subject. ROYAL SPORTING SCANDAL. With the end of the Goodwood week, yesterday, everybody is looking forward to Cowes, where the great regattas commence on Monday and where the usual brilliant gatherings will continue until the end of next week. An unpleasant Incident Is reported in connection with the Goodwood racing which, if true, does not redound to the credit of England's sporting prince. It is said there is little doubt that Baron de Hirsh scratched Reminder for the Manchester cup in order to allow the Prince of Wales's Florisel II to win; but it Is supposed that the Prince of Wales was no party to the arrangement.' However, it Is asserted that the Prince of Wales at the beginning of the week intimated to Captain Machell, the owner of Ravensbury, that he was especially desirous cf winning the Goodwood cup with Florisel II. It is added that Ravensbury. which was the favorite for that event, was thereupon scratched and Florisel II won easily from Lord Penrhyn's Thessallan, which horse was only put in to make a race, there being only two runners. A Conservative newspaper first drew attention to this rumor and then the Radical Sun of this city, took up the matter, saying that the report was persistently made at Newmarket and adding: "If the Prince Is correctly represented, it would apepar that . he temporarily lost his head and was unable to obtain a full grasp of the nature of the consequences of his action. It Is to be hoped for the sake of the reputation of the turf and of the Prince as a sportsman and gentleman that the rumor will be- authoritatively denied and that Ravensbury will be seen at the post." Captain Machell then came out with a denial of the story and the Prince of Wales also heard the rumor and it was declared by members of his entourage that he was greatly, upset and told a friend It was almost enough to make him sell all his horses. The Prince of Wales's friends explain the origin of the report in the fact that the Prince asked Captain Machell if he intended to run Ravensbury for the Good wood cup, and if so, Florisel II would net start, as the colt would need too stiff a training. Captain Machell Is said to have replied that he had no-intention of starting Ravensbury. The Cornell-Leander affair is not yet forgotten here and the Denver Times's comments on the cause of the collapse of the Cornell crew are denounced in the English papers. The Queen will give two state banquets In the Indian room at Osborne, in honor of Emperor William of Germany, who will also be entertained by the Prince of Wales on board the royal yacht Osborne. For these entertainments a large quantity of the crown plate has been sent to Osborne from Windsor. The Princess of Wales is going to Cowes for the yachting week and will then proceed to Copenhagen and stay with hen parents, the King and Queen of Denmark, at Castle Bernstorth. BETROTHED TO A PRINCE. According to authority the marriage of Prince Christian of Denmark, the eldest son of Prince Frederick of Denmark, who is heir apparent to the throne, with one of tlie Prince of Wales's daughters will shortly' be arranged. During the recent fine weather Queen Victoria was seen taking tea In a charming alcove on the east terrace of Osborne, from whence a splendid view of the gardens is obtained. Her Majesty Is a great lover of chess and follows the Hastings tournament with great interA representative of the press has made Inquiries into the sensational reports circulated in the United States by a news agency to the effect that the London Athletic Club was hesitating about sending over a team to meet the New York Athletic Club team. The result is that these reports are denied. It is true that there has been som? little difficulty regarding the formation of the London Athletic Club team, but there has never been any question raised which would in any way suggest that the English athletes Intended to withdraw from thelf agreement to meet the Americans. Senator Gray, of Delaware, is having a nice time in London owing to the courtesies extended to him by the United States embassador, the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard. Mr. Murat Halstead. of Brooklyn, N. Y.. is here, and will remain in London for ten days. He agrees with all Mr. St. C'.alr Kelway. editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, has said about English politics and the beneficial results of the recent general elections. The attention which the royal family has unwillingly been compelled to bestow upon the Ameer's second son. Nazrulla Khan. will, next week, be transferred to two more acceptable guests, the Emperors of Austria and Germany. It Is Intimated that the latter is coming with & more or less sportive intention, in which his particular penchant for yachting will prominently figure. , , An extraordinary scandal has Just come to light in connection with Russia and the Bering sea patrol. About the middle of last winter a firm of fur brokers In Hamburg received five thousand beautiful sealskins with Instructions to forward them to London in time for the big February sale, which occurs here every year. It was noticed that the packages did not bear the usual marks or any other indication of their having been Eent through the ordinary channels, and what also struck people as peculiar was that not one of the skins had a bullet hole ia It. It Ls now reported on good authority that these skins were sent by the officers of the Russian war ship which left Robins island last September, and it is presumed that the enterprise was the private speculation of those who were sent there to protect the seals. FIRST-CLASS WORKERS.' Tbey Are Seldom the Ones Who Are Out of Employment. Education Extension. , In conversation with a prominent ln?urance man of this State a short time ago. I had occasion to ask him if he knew of a first-class solicitor of advertising who was out of employment. His reply was, "Mr. Cleary. flrst-clasa men are not out of employment." I was completely taken back for a moment, but a littls reflection convinced me of the truth cf his statement. First-class men ia any 11ns can be found, but not out of employment. It Is the other class, the uneducated, uncultured, unskilled. michlne-li-3 previa who are constantly lcliirT fcr tveri:. cr Cr.iin.-7 f-ult tccausa t: lr i 'lir'.zi tro net tszrzzzzz. If a rzzn

I cannot conceive of a single kind cf em ployment where the educated have not th advantage over the uneducated; the cultured over the uncultured; the fkiUcd over the unskilled: the artist over the artisan. We see it in the home, from the mistress to the kitchen girl; in the school, frefn the superintendent to the Ja.nitor: In the busine??. from the general manager to the messenger boy; and so on clown to the commonest pursuit of life. In no employment are taste and skill more Important than in housekeeping. The wife and mother who can make her home attractive, dress her children neatly, and fH an Inviting table, upon a small Income, is nobly doing her part as a helpmeet to her husband. The servant who can serve a meal with neatness, economy and dispatch can command practically her own iae. besides having the satisfaction of knowing that no one can excel her in her line. Too few of us realize the value of striving for the highest there is in us; we are apt to content ourselves with mediocrity, when by a little earnest effort we might reach to nobler and better thinrs.
