Provisions Live Stock, Grain and Stock Markets

RICHMOND MARKETS Prices paid for eggs by local jobbers vary more widely at present than for many weeks. Some dealers are offering as low as 17c a dozen others-, are paying 20c. The decided difference in quality is largely responsible for the range In prices, as dealers say they are not getting more than enough eggs to supply their local demand, and. In many Instances, even this can not be supplied. For , the last two days the deficiency" In the supply of fresh eggs has had to be made up by placing storagp eggs on the market. As usual thing, kstorage eggs are not used until the end of September, but this year finds eggs scarcer than usual at thi3 rtlme, and the storage supplies have lad to be drawn on. The- dealer who offers only 17c say fcje Is getting all the eggs he needs at that price, and he will not pay more, under present conditions, as he Us selling them at 18 c' Other .dealers, paying higher prices, have had to curtail their -city trade In some 'instances.

Occasional sales showed a gain of 10c.

Cattle Without any apparent improvement in the demand from any source, the market for cattle today was decidedly easy in tone in .comparison with the finish of yesterday, when values developed a decline of 10 loc per 100 lbs of all grades and all weights of, butcher, also stock cattle, consequent to much larger arrivals from delayed trains than expected. Hogs Receipts of hogs today were moderate, but without material improvement in the demand the market ruled quiet, with prices not much more better than steady than at the close of yesterday's market on all grades.

CHICAGO MARKETS Publishers Pressl Chicago, Sept. 13. The local wheat market opened strong and higher. Receipts in the Northwest showed a slight increase, but the weather in that part of the country is wet and there is some talk of poor returns from thrashing. Commission houses were fair buyers and selling was scattered. Good Buying of Corn. The corn market was higher, partly in sympathy with wheat and oats and partly because of excellent buying by commission houses. The failure of the predicted frosts in the Northwest was also a factor for higher figures. Pit traders and commission houses were active buyers of oats at the opening. Trading was in large volume, and the only sales in evidence seemed to be those made by bulls who wished to realize on profits. (By O. G. Murray's Special Wire.) Wheat.

Cincinnati, New York J and Richmond. NEW YORK MARKETS Publishers' Pressj New York, September, 13. There was a renewal of yesterday's late rise in stocks at the opening of business today, but the advance was of limited proportions and the demand not so urgent. The effective buying was concentrated in a few stocks, notably Union Pacific, United States Steel and Smel ting. While these stocks were being advanced persistent selling was going on at other points, particularly St. Paul, Atchison and Southern Pacific. Gains Wiped Out. When the pressure of stocks ceased comparative little had been left to the earlier advances, and several stocks were quoted below yesterday's closing. After some uncertain movements -the market gathered strength momentarily. When the copper stock was taken in hand for a raise Amalgamated Copper hardened 1 to 113 and Anaconda 414 to 2S4. Aside from a moderate, recovery there was little of interest to the rest of the marketthe collapse of the bulge in Union Pa cific and the Hill stocks eliminating the spectacular features. The Toledo St. Louis & Western stocks ruse 1 to 2 points. By noon the market was drooping again. Reading lost nearly a point. Bonds were steady. BOOK ILLUMINATION. An Early Eiample of the Artistic Ccllnre cf the Ancients. TLe underlying thought which has Inspired illumination from its very beginning is more interesting even than the gorgeous pases which pass beyond our power of appreciation and defy our comprehension. To the ancients the rarest gems in a'.l the world were the gems of thought. The book was the tangible and visible expression of man's intellect, worthy of the noblest Betting. Its covers might be made of tables of beaten geld inlaid with precious jewels, its words might be written in minium of rare brilliancy brought from India or Spain or In Byzantine -ink made from pure oriental gold upon parchment soft as velvet made from the skins of still born kids, while upon the ample margins could be displayed miniatures and decorations portraying the highest skill of the great artists of the day. The earliest example of illumination is a papyrus in the Louvre in Paris, which contains paintings representing funeral ceremonies executed in bright colors, touched in its high lights with penciled gold. Although we find frequent mention of some poeni written In goid, of some magnificent volume or codex of colored vellum or some collection of miniatures or of some magnificent gift book decorated for prince or church, yet this simple, imperfect fragment at the Louvre is the sole tangible evidence we have that so obvious a form of artistic culture as the art of illuminatipn was known to the long period of classical antiquity or to the later luxuries of the life of Athens and Corinth, of Pergamum and Ephesus. of Cyzicuus or Rhodes. Syracuse or Tarer.tum, of Sybaris. of Tornpeii and of Rome. With the invention of printing the demand for the illuminator and the scribe became gradually less, and finally by the end of the sixteenth century illumination ceased to be an art. The book as the developer of the people in science and literature and in learning generally had crowded out the book as an object of art. It need not have done this,, perhaps, but as a matter of fact It did. Boston Transcript ENGLISH ETCHINGS.

tlrtiJnn Prince Wfco nelnrd Kttnatf Hnylnsr AiTirtI Statuary. The Siciiiaa Prince of Valguanera. at the beginning of the last century was a monomaniac of a rare description. He succeeded to oue of the largest fortunes in E urope, his habits were studious and economical, he had no children, but in spite of these advantages for saving money he contrived to ruin himself. The prince had a fancy for grotesque statues, with which he adorned the stately mansion of his forefathers. Many descriptions of the place are extant, for it was renowned throughout Europe in its day. Brydone visited it, and he has left us a pleasant picture. Approaching by a noble avenue, one found the palace encircled by an "army" of monstets. "The absurdity of the wretched imagination which created them is not less astonlshmg than its wonderful fertility," says Brydone. "Some were a compound of live or six animals which have' no resemblance in nature. In one instance the head of a lion was set upon the neck of a goose, with, the body of a lizard, the eyes of a goat and the tail of a fox. Upou the back of this object stood another with five

or six heads and a grove of horns. There is no kind of horn in the world I that he has not collected, and his pleas- j ure is to see them all flourishing on the same skull." Of such horrors there were GOO in the avenue aud courtyard alone when Brydone saw the collection, and the prince maintained a regiment of sculptors who were rewarded proportionately to their success in designing new, and unparalleled combinations. The effect upon a superstitious peasantry may be imagined. So serious was the agitation that the government of Sicily threatened to demolish the wonderful array several' times, but a prince of Valguanera was not to be offended in those days without the gravest cause. Matrons of Palermo would not take their drives in that direction, fearing dire results. The inside of the house was eccentric in another fashion. Here the madman diverted himself with columns ::nd arches and pyramids of cups and saucers, teapots and the like cemented together. Oue column, tor instance, started from a great porcelain vase of shape familiar in bedrooms, but not elsewhere. 'I he shaft was teapots, with the spouts protruding, graduated in size up to a capital of flowerpots. The openings of windows were incrusted in this manner, the chimney pieces were loaded up to the ceiling, and the magnificent room? of the palace were divided by fantas tic arches of the same construction China was rare and fine in Sicily n: that day, and most of the pieces tiiutreated had great value. The princo's bedroom was a chamber of supreme horrors. Reptiles awful beyond, conception had their home there, intermixed with pleasing busts and statues which, if tnrnod, showed a skeleton or a hideous representation of decrepitude. We have never observed an allusion to these things in a modern work of travel. Perhaps the government destroyed them at the prince's Ieath, beggared by his mania. A Cm-Ions Cnstor.t.
