The wheat market to-day opened strong 1 and continued so during the fore part of the session, mainly on the bullish report on winter wheat seeding In to-day's Cincinnati Price Current and buying by a noted local scalper, who said a largj amount of “oalis" on the curb last evening. Prices, however, began to sag grads o continued easy tiie rest of tlie session. The dry weather continues the principal hull factor. Cables were a shade firm or than expected, but receipts In the Northwest were very large, 1,?<0 cart at Mianeepolls and Duluth against 728 laat year. Clearances were also light, only about JOO.OOO bushels wheat and flour. New Tork reported twelve loads of wheat sold for export. Obrn was steady all day and showed very little change from yesterday's prices. The large receipt of hogs, 40,000 head, and lower prices at the yards caused provisions to be a shade lower. Trade rather dull.

Potatoes are soli ftt 15 cents a small measure at retail, but j dealers state that very good potatoes are 1 Ul'ticult to find just at present.” It may j be profitable for Northwestern farmers who have large yields of potatoes to wait a while before consigning stock to the waste pile. A large section of the country raised deficient crops last year as a result of the drought, and potatoes may i yield a fair price later in the season. CITY WHOLESALE (ROTATIONS.

while the truth Is now leaking
out that a considerable portion of theso ftaudulent goods, that have been takln, the place of pure English, Canadian anu American oheese, are actually being produced In Great Britain, to the immense profit of Scotch farmers. The great in jury that has been done legitimate trading in pure cheese is Incalculable, the vending of adulterated goods having had
effe
feet of curtailing consumption,
the vile Compound, which at first po«-
the
the ■
seizes a fresh appearance, soon decompose^, and gives the consumer a dose of putrid odor ufnd repulsive gustation sufficient to sicken him of the very mention of cheese for some time afterward; and yet this stuff Is still being manufactured and pushed for sale under the* noses of the English officials.

The production on Octpber 1 was on a basis of, 10,750.0» tons, or the largest In the history of the trade.

Montreal Trade Bulletin. It Is rather singular that during the time the price of wheat in Chicago declined about 4 cents to 5 cents per. bushel of lata, the price of winter wheat in Ontario actually advanced 4 cents to 5 cents per bushel, which demonstrates pretty conclusively the scarcity of this cereal In Ontario. Whether or not the scarcity has bwn brought about by farm* •rs holding for higher price*, it is all the same to millers who have had to pay 64 cents to 65 cents for their wheat at pc.nts we*t of Toronto, and hence their action in putting up the price of flour 10 cents to 16 cents per barrel since our last report.

Something- About “Old Puraonx” and His Perpetual Motloa Machine. “Old Parsons,” the Irvington hermit, ha* moved. He became dissatisfied with the neighborhood in which he lived, and, tearing down his little shanty, moved It to a vacant lot near Butler College, at the Intersection of National avenue and the C., H. & D. railroad. For several days past he has been constructing a uniquely-designed building. It is In shape like a coffin, about ten feet long, j six feet wide at it* widest part, and seven feet high at the ridge.—A little hill, into which he dug, furnishes a back, and the side walls are made of old railroad ties, split in two lengthwise, and laid on top of one another, somewhat after the manner that rail fences are constructed. The sides converge toward The front, leaving barely enough room between the ficnt corners for a door-way. Old boards and tin laid across the top serve as a roof, and the bare ground is his floor. Parsons is seventy years old. He has been a conspicuous figure around Irvington for about eight years. He is about five feet, four Inches tall, and weighs about 110 pounds. His hair and beard would be white, but his manner of living has given them a dirty tinge. He wears a closely-buttoned blazer coat, with a faded and torn cutaway coat over it; his shoes are tied on with strings, and the remainder of his wardrobe corre-
sponds.
The story of his life, as obtained from him, is pathetic. He was born and reared in North Carolina, where he learned the blacksmith trade. He married there, and brought up two sons. At the begihning of the war he moved, with his family, to Richmond, Ind., where he established himself in business and became prosperous. He invested in an eighty-acre farm in Ohio, and everything went well until one day he conceived the idea of Inventing perpetual motion. He became more and more interested in the matter, and finally neglected his business on account of It. About this time he had some disagreement with hU,wife, and left her. He traded his Ohio farm for 16y acres of Kansas land and went out there to live. Arriving there, he found that tho land was very poor, and he soon tiaded It for two lots in Indianapolis. He came on here, and found his lots to be located in a swamp In the southeast addition to Irvington. Dr. Dougherty, who Is now postmaster 1 at Irvington, was town clerk eight years ago, when Parsons arrived. He helped j the old man to find his lots, and he noticed on the deeds that the consideration

Exchange has been a factor in Wall street to-day, and possibly g curb on the advancing tendency of wheat. Exchange is higher and gold exports are predicted
for Saturday.
Provisions very dull and heavy. Weaker grain markets are expected to start some
selling.
Wheat is being Influenced by a New York message, which reads: “Mail advices from Argentine indicate the largest crop ever grown.” Chicago: Two lines of wheat, about 500,000 bushels In each, are supposed to have been covered at from 60%c to 61c this forenoon. St. Louis: John Wayland, president of the North Missouri Milling Association, says: “The drought is serious and Is causing great apprehension.” The flour output at Minneapolis for'the week was 298.900 barrels. The total flour output at Minneapolis, Duluth, SL Louis end Milwaukee was 483,545 barrels, against 486,000 barrels the week previous and 422.000 barrels last year. Provisions dull and heavy and look like sagging further, if anything. London: Cargoes arrived off coast; nothing doing. On passage firm, but not active. English country markets firm. Corn cargoes arrived off coast. Nothing doing. On passage firm. Signal Service map shows no raln^anywhere, and no prospect of any. Temperature moderate. Cincinnati Price Current says: Unimportant relief duriAS week in drought regions. Autumn ws’ding is more likely to be deficient and the start of the crop Is unfavorable. Grain offerings are not enlarging greatly. The interior milling demand Is strengthening wheat values. Corn husking and cribbing are progressing favorably. The week’s packing Is 810,000 hogs, against 235,000 last year.

Kenyon, of the Western Paving and Supply Company, In speaking of the charge _that his company was trying to use condemned curbing in North Delaware street, said: “The Western Paving and Supply Company put no condemned curbing In North Delaware street that was not put In with the approval of one of the city’s inspectors. There was none takei\ out that had not been put in with a efty inspector on the street continuously. The Western Paving and Supply Company could have no Interest In putting In condemned curbing, as all the curbing is purchased, subject to Inspection, and any condemned or rejected stone Is at the expense of the quarry men. Curbing is often marked condemned by a red mark. This mark may mean that there are flaws in the stone, or that It is not properly dressed. If the stone is not properly dressed the stone-cutters re-dress It and again put It upon the street. "This was done In Delaware street, but not without the acceptance of the inspector. The fact that it was again Inspected and part of it again rejected is no fault of the contractor. It merely shows that Inspectors differ in their Judgment on stone. Some stones were condemned and ordered taken out on that street, and are now there subject to any one’s inspection, that I have heard more than one engineer and more than one stone man say were better than part of the stone accepted. Stones were taken out and others put in their place that were no better than the ones taken out; but, as I said before. It made no difference to the company, one way or the other, as It was done at the cost of the stone men.”

It is said of the late Prof. Hjabnar Hjorth Boyesen that in addition .to bis wonderful command of the English language proper, which he learned In the short space of two years so thoroughly that his first English novel was suppose! to befa translation from the Norse, he was a past master In American slang and idiom.
