London Traders Were Active Bidders for Americana for a Time-Local i Markets Continue Firm. At New York, Saturday, money on call Kras nominally Z'Qi per cent. Prime mercantile paper, ZYz'ZHtt per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business In bankers' bills at 4.874.87H for demand, and 14.8434.84 for sixty days; posted rate3, HSCS4.S6; commercial bills, Silver certificates, 60S 61c; bar silver, 60c; Mexican dolIarsQlSc. At London, bar silver closed firmer at 27?id an ounce. The New York exports of gold and silver .to all countries for the week aggregated: Silver bars and coin. $545,425; gold. $2,100,417. The Imports of dry goods and merchandise for the week were valued at $3,000,641. The . Imports of specie were $102,722 gold and $ys,00 silver. Te New York weekly bank statement hows the following changes: Surplus reserve. Increase il.3C6.S50 Loans, decrease fi.S2x.GuO Specie, decrease 2,64.4iM Legal tenders. Increase 1.015,300 Deposits, decrease 12,031.300 Circulation, decrease 22.GU0 The banks now hold $12,055,600 In excess of the requirements of the 25 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says this week: "The reduction of $12,000,000 In the deposits ef the New York banks last week lightened reserve requirements about $2,000,000. The institutions, however, according to their current statement, lost $1,643,100 cash, and for this reason the increase In surplus reserve t waa only $1,356,850, which brings present holdings $12,055,000 above legal requirements. The decrease In loans" was nearly $3,000,000. In the last three weeks the banks have contracted outstanding loan obligations no less than twenty-six millions. In the same time deposits have been decreased nearly twenty-seven and one-half millions, while the cash In bank had remained stationary. It will be seen reserves have been strengthened at the expense of outstanding commitments, and the process does not appear to have reached an end yet. There is no question, however, that the banks are now gaining cash, even if the statement does indicate otherwise. The known operations of money last week were decidedly In favor of the institutions, the loss of three-quarters of a million to the treasury having been offset by the gain of something like two millions to the Interior. The current exhibit does not reflect this, but It Is to be said the losses shown can be traced to two or three large banks, the remaining members having really strengthened their positions. As to the outlook, the opinion is that there 13 nothing In the situation at present to warran an undue expansion in bunk figures. The liquidation which began with July has run its course to a large extent, and while the present is a midsea&on period, the movement of money will probably continue this way for some little time. Foreign exchange authorities agree that gold exports, except as special transactions, are at an end. and while the crop season is near at hand, it Is not anticipated the demands this year will cause much of a drain from New York. Interior bank reserves are above the average, and this, coupled with easier rates for money abroad, and the certainty that exchange will rule In favor of New York with the coming grain exports, seems to favor a relaxation rather than a rise in rates here for the time being." Saturday's New York stock market was an unimportant, even an Insignificant affair. London manifested some continued interest In American securities, marking up prices rather above the point reached on this side, even on the opening rise. The opening advance at New York quickly succumbed to .the sympathetic influence of a reaction in Sugar, which lost somethingover a point. Heaviness in a few other Industrials helped to hold back the market. But the bears were no more disposed to operate than the bulls and the market suspended near Friday night's level. The bank statement brought a realizing movement which carried prices off in some cases a point from the best. Rock Island and a few other stocks which have been going up for aevtral days being most affected. The offerings were well absorbed and the short session ended with quotations not far from Friday night's prices. The oppressive heat prevailing had something to do with the extreme las3itud of the trading. The American Linseed Oil and Iowa Central stocks showed good advances In prices, and the Fort Worth and Denver City first mortgage bonds rose 1 on the acquirement of trackji ?a rights between Denver and Pueblo from -tse Atchison by the Colorado & Southern. wiJch controls the Texas road. The ban's etitencat showed tit surplus reserve la

created by reason of a contraction In loans, as was expected, but the loss of over a ment Is reflected In the bank statement. The million In cash was a disappointment. In view of the low prevailing rate? for money at Interior centers. It was expected that funds would have been attracted to New York during the week, but no such movehigh rate for sterling exchange causes some anxiety, as well as bewilderment, in view of the lower discount rates in London and the well-marked disposition of London to buy stocks in New York in the last few days. The sterling rate has only yielded a fraction and still hovers within a cent of the gold export point. Net changes in price of stocks fwr the week are mostly small and show both gains and losses. There were some sharp losses In the early part of the week and the movement after that was Irregular. It was the smallest week's business of the year. Even dealings by professional operators had dropped to a minimum. Looking back over a period of a month It Is easy to discern that the best Judges failed to correctly estimate the worlds needs for money and the release of large sums, which was confidently expected after July, has been successfully retained from day to day and from week to week. Large loans were reraid to the Bank of England tn the f.rst days of July, but before the week was over the market was again a borrower from the bank and has been ever since, at rates up to 4 pr cent., as a-atnt the bank's official minimum of per cent. Only in the. last three days has there been any marked relaxation In money stringency at the British capital. It has been obvious, as the situation developed, that London and the continent were going to be more dependent on the United States for relief than was contemplated, and the continued hardness of money here has aroused doubts as to the availiabillty of that relief. The situation is conclusive evidence of the continued strong Influence of America In the money market of the world. The Industrial activity in Germany, especially in Iron and steel, and the speculation on the Berlin Boerse have kept money high at Berlin. In Great Britain Itself there have been expanding trade and Interior demand for monej- beyond what has been counted on. and the call of a portion of the Japanese loan pinched the London market. In the face of these conditions, when London saw the money rate in New York holding high and very slow to yield, the speculation in fecurltles came to a standstill, not only In London, but on the continent and in New York. The largeness within which the money paid In dividends and interest on July 11 has reappeared in New York bank deposits, while it delayed relief. Is evidence of the widespread distribution of securities. Several large financial transactions have made demands on. New York banks. Including the flotation of the tube combination, temporary loans to the New York city government and the Mexican loan. The unexampled activity In all branches of business and industry makes use for the large funds at interior points, which would otherwise find their way into New York banking deposits, but which only a high rate for money in New York now serves to attract. Nevertheless, high-class bonds, railroad, state and municipal, continue at record figures and capital is evidently abundant as never before. The conservative element views with equanimity the failure to arouse a rampant speculation In securities, and holders are apparently well satisfied to hold at present prices. The street-railroad strikes in the Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs of New York aroused some anxiety as a possible symptom of general unrest among wage earners. This has been an important factor in discouraging active operations In the stock market, while so many favorable conditions seemed to presage that rise In prices. Dealings in bonds have been dull and some Issues fell away in price, bot others moved upward on active demand. United States registered threes and fives advanced and the old fours, registered, U, and fours, coupon, Va In the bid price. Closing Sales. Wd.

Arthur Henry, In Alnslee's Magazine. Although there are many who doubt his sincerity, I believe after three years of intimate acquaintance with 'Mayor Jones that the rapidity with which his wealth increases, and his Inability to use It for the real benefit of either himself or mankind. Is a constant and deep distress to him. He said to me one day: "My bookkeeper has explained the difficulty. A friend of mine has cne reply to make to me whenever I mention the Injustice In the system that gives me a fortune when others who are willing: to work have nothing. 'If you. don't want your money," he says, 'why' don't you give It away?' He was in my offl"o to-day when I opened a letter from Mr. Nelson'. Nelson wrote among other things that the conviction was rapidly growing amon.T men of large fortunes that it was not so desirable to have more than your neighbors, and that the real Joy in effort, after all. comes not in what you get, but in what you accomplish, and the respect accorded you by your fellows. I read this to my friend, and he said, If he don't want his money why don't he grive it away?' I was dumb, as usual after this very sensible remark, but my bookkeeper said, dryly, He don't Rive it away, because if he did, Hanna would get it.' Now that is the real reason why a man who don't believe In accumulating private fortunes is obliged to remain a millionaire in case he gets the million. If he were to give it away while the system under which ne is able to secure' it remains in operation, it will only eventually go to some other individual who is a little shrewder than his fellows." "So Thorna. I carried the eld Bishop a bunch of roses this mornlrg. And when I handed them to him he said. Wait, my daughter, there are thorns upon them." Then he took out his knife, saying, "Give me one at a time." I watched him while he carefully cut away each thorn. "Do you always cut off the thorns. Bishop?" He looked at me with an appreciative twinkle In the dark of his eye. Set deep under the shaggy brows, and said. "Yes; don't you?" "No." I said; "I am a woman; I only hold my rose tight, and smile, And let the blood trickle, and say, My rose has no thorns! " -From the Klote. Epvrortli Lenjcne Report.

WHEAT MOVED UPWARDS

OPENED A CENT HICIIKIt AMD RETAINED MOST OF THE ADVANCE. Chtrajro Dear Became Suddenly Pan-lc-Strlrken on Fears of Crop Dam- ' 11 Ke in the Northwest. CHICAGO. July 22. Wheat on the Board of Trade lost about half of an early advance of lUc on predictions of relief from the hot weather in the Northwest. September closed c net higher at TOTOc! Corn, oats and provisions closed unchanged, and provisions very near yesterday. Wheat opened strong on reports of extreme heat in the Northwest, a condition injurious to spring wheat In Its present state. September began at an advance of lc, with the bulk of trading at TOTic A further advance was scored Immediately to TlUc. A cool wave was sighted by the weather prophet in the far Northwest, but unheeding that shorts rushed to cover. The average " maximum temperature reported from South Dakota and Minnesota was 100 degrees. There were also reports of damage from rains In parts of the West and Southwest. The seaboard reported a good export business. Selling Against calls and official predictions that the cool wave would move southward soon checked the rise. Shorts recovered from their fright and resumed selling with such success that at the end of the short session ?4c had been clipped off the September price. Receipts at primary points were 671,703 bushels, against 3t3,343 last year. Duluth and Minneapolis reported 409 cars, as compared with 611 last week and forty-three a year ago. Local receipts were seventy-nine cars, five of which were contract grade. September closed at 70'&70;c, a net gain of c Corn opened strong in sympathy with wheat, September UHc up. Reports were uniformly favorable for crop prospects, but the sympathetic impulse carried September up to 32H32;c. There had been considerable realizing on the bulge, and when wheat began to decline corn followed. September closed weak at 8145 31c. Receipts here were DS6 cars. Oats ruled dull and easy. September opened a shade under yesterday at 19TsC, sold off to lfc'lDvic and closed at 19c, sellers. .There was a fair cash demand. Receipts were 163 cars. Provisions opened strong with hogs 10c up. The weakness which later developed incorn was communicated to provisions, aiitrthe early strength was dissipated. September pork closed unchanged at $9.17& 9.20; September lard steady at $5.5"H. and September ribs steady at 53.22H bid. .Estimated receipts lor Monday Wheat, 100 cars; corn, 625 cars; oats, 1S5 cars; hogs, 40.000 head.

THE "FILIPINO WASHIXGTOX." And the Alma and Methods of Ills Pure Patriotism. From a letter from the special correspondent of the New York Evening Post, Manila, June 12. 1S99. The greatest source of gwror on the part of our people is ignorance of the Filipino character, and from this the officials at Washington are by no means exempt. All they have learned in their negotiations with Spain as to duplicity and insincerity they must apply to the Filipino, and then add to it 100 per cent. There is nothing whatever truthful or sincere about a Filipino. By instinct and training he is untruthful, tricky and treacherous. The only thing to be depended upon in negotiating with him is to assume as a certainty that what he says is not true, and that the reasons he assigns for his conduct are not the real ones. This, of course, makes a very unsubstantial basis for negotiations, but it is the only basis possible with the Filipino. The first steps toward peace were taken immediately after the fall of Malolos by a number of the prominent citizens of Manila, who had not been active promoters of the insurrection. These were wealthy Filipinos, chiefly of the Spanish Mestizo type. It must be remembered that the most active promoters of the insurrection are the Chinese Mestizos, the wealthiest clasa In the islands, who expect In the case of their success to become the ruling spirit In a strictly military and oligarchical government. These Manila citizens formed an association whose object was to induce the Insurgents to lay down their arms and accepts form of government based upon the proclamation Issued at that time by the American commission, who had been appointed by the President. It was nothing more or less than an organization of these men in Manila who found that peace under American rule was a better proposition for them financially than war, or even peace under the rule of the Chinese Mestizo. It did not In any way indicate a weakness on the part of the insurgents in the field. Indeed, so little confidence did they themselves have in their success that their delegation dared not go within the insurgent lines to urge their Ideas upon the rebel leaders. One prominent citizen who had done so early in the insurrection bad been summarily beheaded by order of Agulnaldo. Whatever we may. think of the capacity for self-government of a people who, without even the form of at trial, execute their fellow citizens who differ from them on matters of public policy, it does not change the fact that these are the methods used by the Insurgent leaders to stamp out all opposition to the insurrection on the part of any of their countrymen. A man of influence who asked for peace was beheaded; the common man or citizen who refused to take up a gun or bolo and tight with the insurgents had his throat cut. In this way the insurrection was made strong. Meanwhile, there was growing up in the ranks of the insurgent leaders a sentiment favoring peace, though its expression was strictly suppressed in the summary way previously mentioned. When the Filipino Congress met at San Isldro. on May 5. this element was In the majority among its members and the result was the appointment of a committee of seven to open negotiations with General Otis for peace, on the basis of the proclamation issued by the American commissioners. A9 soon as the peace committee was appointed by the Filipino Congress Luna took active steps, in the genuine Filipino way, to conserve his own interests. He concentrated the army at Tarlac, a strong position on the railroad some twenty mile from San Fernando, the extreme point of our advance, and then took active measures to get into his possession this congressional commission. Two of them he captured and beheaded; three of them Joined forces with him and the two others made a lucky escape to Manila, and thus saved their heads. The only hope of peace lies in the factional quarrels of the insurgent leaders. Their habit of deceit and treachery renders It as impossible to deal honestly and sincerely with each other as to do so with us, and mutual distrust and suspicion necessarily prevail. It Is this which has been counted upon from the first, by all persons familiar with the Filipino character and history, to bring about the final termination of the insurrection, which could not be accomplished by arms against an undivided and loyal people. That these forces are at work bringing about this result these facts amply show. - WHERE DO DICYCLCS GOT A Vast Xomher Disappears from Public Sight Every Year. Chicago Post. Where .do all the bicycles go? One firm reports having disposed of 227.OU0 In a year. A Wabash-avenue dealer says the people of Chicago have alone been buying a quarter of a million a year ever since 1S95. And yet there are but little over 2,Of0,0u0 people in Chicago, counting all the babies and grandmothers neither of which class cares much for bicycle riding. There is only one explanation. The wheels are hanging up in basements, are leaning against walls in attics, are stored away in closets of apartment houses and are otherwise passed Into the desuetude of a battered and punctured old age. One of the Jokers In the county Jail says he has stolen fifteen wheels from basements and has not found one lit to ride on. The bicycle disease Is a distressing malady. First the girls and boys exercise a well-bred habit of Interest In the general subject of wheeling. Then they cultivate the suggestive power and the father feels it. They are not pestering him for wheels, but he can see how they view the matter, and he deprives himself of wine with his restaurant dinner, of one cigar a day and of a trip on the lake, and buys each of the young people a wheel. In four days he has to get each a new saddle, and at the end of the week the tires are past mending. Then lamps are necessary, and it takes four successive purchases before the right kind can be found. Then the chain drops a link, and the ball bearings are lost, and the bill from the wheel doctor is the steadiest item In the family. After that the father calmly rebels and the wheels are hung up till he melts again. A bill ought to be passed by the next Legislature appropriating S1.90O.O0O for the repair of all the disabled bicycles now on hand. There Is a measure that would benefit every householdler in Illinois. Hon to Get nid of Flies. National Druggist.

MOSQIITOF.S, MALE AMD FEMALE. It Is the Klrat That Sings, sad the Second That Bites. Alnslee's Magazine. When a man hears for the first time tht it is the female mosquito that does all the biting it makf-s htm feel right glad.' Farther comfort Is afforded by the knowledge that the male mosquito has probably the kttnet musical sensibilities of any of his class of animals, lie has quite a brush of hairs on his antennae, and with them he hears. Mayer stuck one of his kind on a glass plate and sounded tuning forks about. When one tone was made certain hairs would vibrate, while ail the others were still. Another tone would start another set to vibrating, and so on. Also, if the tuning; fork were at one side of the mosquito, the hairs on that antennae trembled most Violently, so that when the male hears or, rather, feels the voice of his beloved In one antennae, he wheels about so that the vibration is equal in both and flies straight ahead to meet her. That is about all there Is to the male mosquito, though, except that he cannot blto tor the suflicient reason that he has no apparatus with which to saw through the skin. So to speak, he has the pumps, but no drill. Rut the female is thoroughly equipped for getting through even a politician s hide. The only mjstery is what possesses her to want to bite at alL How does she come by her hankering for blood. The scientists give it up. If the laid her eggs in the wound, like the carrion fly. it would bo easy to answer the question, but she doesn't. If she stung to defend herself, like the wasp. It would be easy. It must be her brutal passion for blood that prompts her to attack helpless human beings. She cannot get this craving by inheritance, for the chances are that none of her ancestors as far back as William the Conqueror ever had a taste of human blood, and yet, sit out on your front stoop of an evening, and a mosquito, not half an hour out of tne water, will make as straight for you as If she had been born for that purpose. When one thinks of the great clouds of these torments that live and die In swamps, where b4 warm-blooded animal ever comes for fear of being mired, one can easily believe, the. estimate of entomologists that not one In a million aver samples red blood. Tim HAItCST STAMP.

Washington Star. "One reads so many stories about anlraal Intelligence that it would be hazardous for a doubter to express his belief in almost any gathering of men at the present day."remarked a well-known Western physician) to a Star writer recently. "A little instance came within my own observation a number of years ago, when I was studying medicine, that convinced me that the members of the horse family should, at least, b credited with the possession of a very con siderable amount of reasoning power. "It was the custom for the students at the medical institution at which I pursued my studies to wear & small badge upon their coats to distinguish them from others at the college. A horse belonging to the establishment was used a great deal about the medical department, and the animal seemed to have a special preference for the embryo doctors. Well, one day, while a number of us were gathered in a little circle upon a lawn in the rear of the college, the animal in question, which used to be turned loose to nip the grass in the location, came toward the group limping very badly. He came to a stop a dozen or more feet away front the crowd, and, carefully surveying the lot of us, finally made up his mind what he wanted to do. and without any hesitation limped directly to mv side, whinnied, stuclc his nose against my body and held up his left foreleg. "Looking down I discovered a large nail Imbedded in the frog of his hoof. This had evidently caused the lameness, and I toon realized the interesting fact that the animal desired me to attend to his fooL I extracted the nail with some difficulty, and the horse whimpered with relief and walked awav. Being curious to know why the beast had picked me out to attend to his wound, I glanced at my fellow-students and found the solution to the problem. Not one of tho group had his medical badge upon his coat but myself. The horfce had, therefore, plain ly recognized the insignia and acted accordingly." Woman's Disadvantage. New York Evening Sun.
