Yesterday's stock market was purely a professional affair. The dealings showed a. falling off In point of activity of approxtmately one-half of the preceding: day's total nd at Intervals the market lapsed Into stagnation. Thte condition was in large measure attributable to the elimination of a large part of the short Interest on Wednesday and to the unwillingness of the professional dealers to commit themselves to a decided stand, pending uncertainty as to the actual amount of gold to go out on Saturday. Up to the clos of business only Jl.OOO.OUO had teen engaged, but all present indications point to at least rJ.OOO.OW additional gold to be forwarded to Europe at the close of the week. The market opened Hull with thA Initial nrlre Irremilar. but In the main higher. In sympathy with more encouraging foreign news and a recovery in London prices for Americans after an early decline. The bears quickly moved against Chicago Gas on rumors of expressed disapproval . of the consolidation, pttn by the Attorney-general of Illinois, and depressed the price about a point.

In tho general market the early . dealings . wero characterized by a uniform stiffening tendency, and prices were carried above last night's closing sales. The support of the covering movement failed toward midday, nd general fractional recession occurred except in the case of Tobacco, which was pressed down 1U jwr cent.

The gold export probabilities hung over the market and induced a sagging tendency to . prices, which increased tn the late dealings, with the grangers and Southwestern .share most conspicuous for lack of support. The closing was heavy In tone, with the result of the day's operations general fractional net de ellnes. ' The dealings In railway and miacellane ous bonds again lacked a decided tone.' and the net changes were about evenly divided. The sales were $1,434,000.

Myers's North Illinois- , : t street addditlon 3.000 Transfers IS, consideration $38,073 Consciousness In Animals. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Mr. John Ochiltree has made a discovery by which ha aeeks to Justify and reinforce the natural pride and assumption of man. However, if he would look a little deeper into th subject, he would probably learn that his new discovery is only the same old dogmatism that "might makes right" projected into the realms of biology ahd psychology. He argues that, as man easily subjects the lower animals to his dominion, therefor the animals were created solely for hla benefit and are otherwise of no value. Let us follow thte lino of argument a little and see to what absurdities it may lead. Civilized and enlightened men easily acquire dominion over the ignorant and uncivilized, and subject them to their control and force them to minister to their -wants. Therefore, the ignorant and uncivilized were created solely for the benefit of the civilized and enlightened, and are otherwise of no value. Again, man conquers and subjects the tower animals to his dominion, but microbes conquer man and subject him to their uses; therefore, man was created for the microbes and is otherwise of no value. Then, he, in effect, concludes that the dog does not know himself from an elephant, and that a monkey might readily confuse his Individuality with that of the snapping turtle. The difficulty with this convenient theory is that in their every-day existence the animals seem to understand these differences of family, race and genera as .well as men do. Their one weakness is that they do not seem capable of comprehending the destructive Intent that lies behind the care and kindness which man extends to them. and. after domestication, are incapable of being otherwise than dependent upon him. But one does not need to study th habits of animals very closelv to discover that they often realize the fate that awaits them and seek to avoid it by uch means of avoidance as they possess. You can readily teach your chickens to take their food from your hand, but catch one and kill it in their presence, and it will be several days before the confidence of the remainder will be restored, and I doubt whether It ever will be given again as fully &9 It was before. Nothing is clearer to my mind than that the difference between reason and that which we call instinct Is simply one of degree. The horse and elephant are wiser than the ox or the kanira. roo, and the dog and the monkey are wiser man tney. in some species of fish appetite dominates all other qualities, and thev will even bite at the naked hook if It "bears liner tne color or smell of the food hev relish, while with others caution Is so strongly developed that the fisherman requires a large stock of ingenuity to enable mm to circumvent them and make thm the victims of his superior running. It proves nothln that we recognize the right ui man 10 jeeu upon tne lower animals and to receive the service of their strength. That rule holds throunhout natnro nrt if in the remote aeons to come, some wiser race snouiq oe evolved to occupy the earth, man will probably be ' reletrated tn tho hI pendent condition that the lower animals now- occupy with respect to him. There is nothing in this concession that nfrvt h. future life unfavorably, but it may serve 10 rai me question so pertinently asked in Mr. Russell Seeds's noem: Whv shnnM dull, mean, selfish man inherit Immortality If it is denied to a dot? that is his superior in uueiny, morainy, wisdom and goodness' New Castle, lnd., Nov. 20.

WHEAT IS DOWN :MC

Lower cable? ami better hoi ' prospects the im'll em e. Reported More Liberal Movement la Corn mitl Oat', Caused u Decline in Sympathy -with Wheat. CHICAGO, Nov. 21. Wheat opened to-day at 37c and closed at a loss of c. Lower cables, the Price Current figures on tho crop and the statements regarding the improved condition of the growing crop were tho features. Corn and oats ruled heavy in sympathy with wheat on the prospect of more liberal country movements. May corn sold a? low as 29ft2y4c, as against 2lc last night. Provisions were . heavy. with trade more active. Wheat opened at a decline of 4'53c and settled another d during the first half hour. The early dispatches brought nothing which differed" radically from previous advices, but in the main they favored the operators for a fall. The chief business of the forenoon 'was in the way xf chang ing trades for December to May delivery, and the most - noticeable feature in the news from the outside markets was a drop of lc in the price of December wheat at St. Louis.' The future referred to had previous to to-day been artificially higher on account of an anticipated squeeze, and the fear of such an- occurrence appears to have been dissipated this morn ing. Mav opened at rrom euc to euic. very little of it at the ldgher figures, which were the best of tne day, declined to totkc. and after a reaction to 614c, it becamo very weak and sold as low as 60c and closed virtually at the bottom. December ranged from 6c at the start to W4G'56c and closed at 56 c. Lower prices were made to-day than on any other previous occasion this season, 61c having been. the previous lowest price for May. The corn trading was slightly larger in volume than on the previous days of the week, but at some cost to the. price. November opened at 27c, worked down to 274c and closed . at that. December, from 27c at the start, declined another 4c and reacted to and closed at 274c. May declined from 294c. to 29i294c and closed at 294c sellers. Oats were again witnout much selling and very dull. Fluctuations were light. December sold from 18c to 174c closing at the latter price bid." May opened at "204c sold at 20c and -ended at 20204c bid. February sold for the first time this season at 19c. Provisions had a slight dtcline at the start and for a considerable time remained fairly steady at the reduced prices made in the first hour. Later the radical weakness of the wheat'1 market caused a corresponding feeling to spread through the pork pit and a considerably larger slice was lopped off' values. Country stop loss orders were met with on the decline and accelerated it. January and May quotations were the lowest of the season. Hog receipts were 45,000 head and a decline of 5c In their values was reported. Estimate of to-morrow's run was 36.000 head. Closing prices were at the lowest figures of the day and show declines in pork of from 74c to 10c; in lard, .074c for January and .05c for lard, and .05c was the decline in both January and May ribs.

"FAST"- GAS METERS UOAHD OF SAFETY WILL I1AVC TIIOMB 1 CITY t Si: TKTKI. Tests Sliou- Unit Some 3lrters Run nn Htttli hi at l'er Ont. FnM nl the Coitsuuicrs Kxpeiisc. The Board of Public Safety has made a contract with MeCauky, Noon & Co.. inspectors of gas and electri: meters, for an inspection of the meters In Tomlinson Hall ani other public hulldlngs. Members of the firm assert that u large percentage of gas meters become "t&t" In the course of a year or two; that i?, they register more gas than has been consumed. In other cases they show a less consumption than has-been used. The Arm claims to have the finest and most accura'te apparatus for determining defects In "meters In the country. They say they can determine how much consumers have paid in excess of amounts really due, and when a meter Is found fast the gas company will concede it to have been fast for one-half of the time since Its last inspection. In other words. If a'meter Is found to be 10 per cent, fast the gas, company will concede a 5 per cent.' overcharge has been made since the last inspection. They say It la generally found meters have not been Inspected slnco placed in the consumer's building, sometimes as far back as ten or twelve years. The firm claims to have made Inspections In fe't. Louli, St. Paul, Pittsburg, Memphis and a .number of other large citie?. In Memphis, according to their statements; they made Inspections of meters of the Kqultable Gas Company And found IOC olit of 138 "fat." They eay the meters they condemned In St. Louis have been replaced py true meters, with a consequent saving of 175,000 annually to consumers. -' , There are about seven thousand meters In use In this city and; the most of them have been tested. It Is "said an inspection will show a majority of them are fast and consumers are paying as high as 34 per cent, more than they , should on monthly bills. Ont of. forty-four tests made in this city they say seventeen were found fast And five alow.-Of course where a meter is slow the loss Is to the gas company, but such cases are said to be rare. The Arm claims to have made tests for the Hotel English, tne Spencer House, the Excelsior launiry, OccldentaL Hotel. L. H. Ayers & Co., Dagget & Co., and others. The meter at the Stubbins Hotel was found 34 per cent, fast, with an overcharge of from $11 to $14 a month being made. At the Spencer House the meter was S per cent, fast and the overcharge? amounted to $S to $10 a month. They say when a complaint Is made the gas company takes the meter out and has It tested. If it Is found fast, say 19 per cent., a 5 per cent, rebate 13 made for the entire time since the last test was made. It is stated a rebate of $90.fi0 was paid in the ca.e of the Stubbins Hotel. The firm's representative cites one case In this city where a hotel keeper was urged to report his meter. In that Instance the meter was 12 per cent, slow and the gas company wan losing a considerable amount each month. The hotel keeper reported the meter to the company and is now paying for all the gas he burns.. It is said the meters are so constructed that the tendency is for them to become fast rather than slow. srRXDIXG THIi 3!tKV7 Democrata Anxious to Cet Hid of All Cash That Ia Available. The Democratic administration has started In fo spend all the money remaining In the Pogue's run appropriation. There Is no appropriation for this fund next year, and the Democratic policy is that It Is well to use all the money, so that none of the appropriation will go unexpended. An excellent opportunity is afforded of giving ward worKers an opportunity to "get their man" on the pay rolls In this manner. Yesterday the street commissioner had about twenty-five men and several teams cleaning out the run." besides a force of ten stone masons and teams repairing arches In the southwestern part of the city. There- Is 3'et f2,'M which the commissioner can spend out of this fund before. Jan. 1, and there is but little doubt he will spend it all at the present rate of work. Mr. Aimtln'R Lkmt Itlmate. Mr. Austin, of the Board of Works, thinks Fall creek can be straightened from Capitol avenue west at an expense of a few thousand dollars, and is enthusiastic in the scheme. Park Engineer Tower yesterday showed that a private c-stlmatc made for excavating alone over a course not half as long aa that proposed would cost 40,00. Mr. Powers, however, thinks that If the creek Is changed the city will have an opportunity to provide for a fine body of still water Just west of the aqueduct. MAYOR'S SEW SKCIIETARY. Charles Herbert Spencer Will Succeed Col. W. It. Hollovrny. Mayor Taggart has again drawn on his old force in the county auditor's office for a city employe, yesterday announcing that Charles Herbert Spencer was to be his private secretary, to succeed Col. Wm. It. Ilolloway. This means that Will Hughes, of the auditor's office, will bo appointed at th head of the assessment bureau. This will complete the transfer of Democratic employes from the second floor of the courthouse to the basement. Mr. Spencer Is twenty-four years old, and was a short time ago appointed assistant law librarian for the Supreme Court, resigning his position in the county auditor's orhce to accept the new position. He acted as Mr. Taggart's secretary while that gentleman was engaged in active work on the Democratic State committee. He received his education at Notre Dame, the principal Catholic educational institution in the State. It. D. Smith, of Itockport, has been appointed by the Sunrer.ie Court as assistant law librarian to succeed Spencer. Colorl Holloway has made an admirable private secretary to the Mayor. He will engage In newspaper work, retaining his position a c-crk to the park commission, which py uut a nominal salary, although the posi'ir. nuy develop into one of much mure inil 01 t inee after the park system is under cohi:i ii v Tin: i:-mavoh. Mr. ix-nn)' Sh lr. FerKunoit" DrpartM j from Ihe l.lnc uf Truth. i 5;aMlg of the comments made by Dr. FfrKWH concerning ttie managementof the C'.y JI'rt)ival, ex-Mayor Denny says tho a i t'y Unitarian speaks In a reckless and ufltri'JifuI manner concerning the cau?? for his ' resignation as superintendent of the hcspUal two years ago. Mr. Denny says no on at a meeting advocated the use of tent and straw for the use In smallpox treatment except aa a temporary means of handling the one or two cases until a -building coufd be erected. Mr. Denny says, and truthfully, that a building mas speedily erupted. The ex-Mayor says It Is yery poor tate in City Sanitarian Ferguson to cr'llcie tioepital methola. "
