PEOEMBEB WHEAT HAS ADVANCED 13 CENTS SINCE SEPEMBKR «.

The Boom in Wheat the CaaM of Bl| Cora Trade—The Market Yeaterday

Was

Active and Soilness Heavy.

Chlcago, Oct. 1.—Wheat sold above 70c a buHhel today, the December option at one time touching 70 l-2c, an advance of 2 S-8o since yesterday. At the close of one of the liveliest sessions for months It itill showed an advance of 1 l-8c. All the other speculative markets were benefited, both In price and volume of business. Corn closed lc higher, oats Z-ic higher and provisions 17 1-2 to 32 l-2c higher.

December wheat which closed Wednesday at 68 l-8@68 l-4c, opened this morning at G8 3-4 to 68c, and in little over an hour it went as high as 70c, being 13c above its price on Monday, September 8, ah average advance of about 6-8c a bushel a day for the Intervening -twenty-two days. An advance so steady has not taken place since the spring of 1S96, in May of that year 20c per bushel having been added. The remarkable thing about the rise now in progress is that it is in the faoe of the more or less uncertainty regaraing the political outlook.

The advance of 70 I-6c was followed by a reaction to ty l-2®69 6-8c, but that In turn was succeeded by a still turther advance in addition to tne early strength aqd before 12 o'clock the price had risen to 70 l-2c for December. Buch continued strength surprised the crowd, who kept looking for breaks, iiut it was not hard to explain. One New York dispatch read as follows: "JSngllsh houses again accepted good deal of wheat. There Is a demand here tor cargoes for shipment as far ahead as February." The stocks of wheat at Liverpool were reported as being only 1,496,000 bushels, about 500,000 bushels decrease since Septembor 1, and sufficient for only about ten days' consumption and again as compared with about 6,000,000 bushels at the corresponding date in the year before. Two cargoes were reported at Liverpool for 6hlpm«jnt to India, something unheard of before, and San Francisco wired confirming the reported purchase by London of wheat in California to go to Caloutta.

This went a long way toward confirming the reported failure of cro&s in India. Rice, one of the chief edibles of thai country, was reported to be worth more in Calcutta than wheat. Outside buying orders were largely for seaboard acount, and the local crowd, stimulated thereby, took twenty bushel for every one bushel on Orders from elsewhere. The cablegrams and the resulting business for foreign account gave the needed confidence to buyers, so that it was only on the big bulges that any long wheat was sold. After it reached 70 l-2c however, there was enough realizing to put the price down to 69 l-4c and 69 3-8c was the closing rate. Foreign markets all closed very strong and quite in line with the advance here. Export sales of spot wheat were reported here to the extent of 260,000 bushels, about one-naif of it No. 2 hard and the remainder spring1.

The boom in wheat was largoly instrumental in causing a good advance in corn and a big trade in the article. The foreigners who wanted wheat and flour so badly also had their appetites whetted for corn and sent buying orders for it. Shorts were also more numerous than might have been suspected from the smaljness of the recent speculative trade. May opened l-8c higher at 25 7-8c and steadily advanced to 27 l-8@27 l-4c, then reacted and closed steady at 26 6-8@26 3-4c.

Oats, after a fashion, folowed wheat and corn, still to some extent were independently firm. Business was heavy and the market very active throughout. Shorts scrambled after offerings and took everything In sight, pushing prices up considerably higher and giving the market a wider range than has been experienced for a long while back. Outside orders were also prominent. May opened a shade higher at 19 6-8@19 3-4c, advanced to 20 7-8c and eased oft to 20 l-4@20 3-8o where It closed.

The trade in provisions has not for a month been as general and active as it was today. Packers bought, scalpers bought, and speculators In outside cities, who had previously bought, took more even foreigners who are never supposed to buy anything except on a weak market, sent in buying orders. The result was handsome advances all around. January pork closed 32 l-2c higher at $7.30 January lard is now 20c higher at $4.80 January ribs 17 l-2c higher at [email protected] 1-2.

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

Dealings la Wall Street Lighter Than On Wednesday—The Bond Market. New York, Oct 1.—The dealings in stocks today were on a considerably lighter scale than on Wednesday and the distribution of business was not quite as good. Commission houses however reported increased business and especially in the low priced shares. The course of prices was irregular but the variations aside from a few of the specialties, lacked importance. Trading at the outset was marked by weakness on realizations and bear oiterlngs. The aggressive strength displayed by Heading and Manhattan contributed to liruiness in the general market despite liberal foreign selling and increased firmness |ti the foreigu exchange market. Actual and posted rates were further advanced, the last mentioned touching $4.83 1-2 and $4.86 for long short biils. Current quotations preclude imports of gold at a profit on ordinary exchange conditions. The strength of this market is attributed to an increased demand for* remittances and to a decreased movement of com mcrcial bills owing to the sharp advances in the price of our breadstuffs and other food products. A temporary check to the move men is however regarded with equanimity, while the treasury gold reserve has been swelled to a sum that removes all immediate concern. An advance of 1 1-2 per cent in Chicago Gas followed the news of the set back encountered by the legal opponents of the companies, under the decision of Judg« Gibbons. Reading securities were again prominent, advancing 1 1-4 per cent to 20 3-4. The bonds rose sharp fractious. Manhattan displayed somo Irregularity, rising 1 1-4 to 89 3-4, later losing the advance. In the last hour a general reaction occurred. Illinois Eteel however rose 2 7-5 and Missouri Iron 1 per cent on the improved trade outlook. The market left off quiet but firm at unimportant changes.

Donds continued to work higher, although the market was somewhat more contracted than recently. The sales were $1,413,000.

A BIRD THAT FAINTED.

Swifts In

Experience of a Naturalist With California. If rarity is an index to interest the swifts are entitled to the highest regard among the rare and interesting birds of California, for, in addition to their rarity, they are among the most difficult of the feathered tribe to capture. This is due to two causes

observes the San Francisco Chronicle. (1) They inhabit only the most inaccessible places in the rocks, where it is almost impossible for man to get at them, and consequently there is only little known of their, habits or of their nests and eggs. (2) As their name indicates, they are probably the most rapid of all birds in their movements, havingly exceedingly long wings, with sharp edges, enabling them to fly with the greatest velocity, and at-the same time offering the least resistence to the air. Taken all in all, they axe birds which seem primarily adapted to powerful flights and long endurance. This, in one way, is attested by their legs and feet, which are exceedingly small and undeveloped for birds of their size, the probable explanation being that through disuse these members have become smaller and weaker, until now the reduced size of its legs have become one of the chief characteristics of the bird. The wings are so long that when they rest they almost cross at the tips, while the moulh, like most of the other members of the tribe including the nighthawk and goatsucker, is very large in proportion to the size of the bird, enabling it to catch insects on the wing with almost unerring accuracy. The bill, like the legs, is very small, as the method of securing food does not require much use of it, and It, too, has probably grown smaller through disuse.

The strangest experience I ever had with the swifts was last year, while fishing in the mountains of San Diego county, where I came on a flock of about twenty circling high overhead. They came nearer and nearer the ground, until, suddenly darting up the canyon one by one, they disappeared behind a waterfall, which tumbled fifty feet from an overhanging rock. On closer examination I found some of them clinging to the spray-bespattered rocks behind the falls, while others had disappeared entirely behind the overhanging bowlder. Probably this rock had earlier in the season sheltered their nests. After watching them for half an hour and making them fly fn and out by throwing stones at them through the falls, I returned to camp and the next day came back, this time with piy gun. I waited half an hour without a sign of the birds being seen, when suddenly two skimmed out from behind the rock, and, going by me like a flash of lightning, disappeared down the canyon. I sat down and waited for fully an hour, when one returned as fast as it left. Flying behind the falls it clung to the face of the wet rock. It was the work of

As my specimen waa lying on the top of an immense bowlder, where I had placed it to dry, the mate returned, but no sooner bad it flown over to where I was sitting than It fluttered to the ground and fell over backward into the stream. When I picked it up I was perfectly astonished, and examining it found It was very thin, its stomach being entirely ®nplr» while its mate, the male, had been well supplied, having three winged beedlea. Probably the mother bird, weak from hunger, had succumbed to her exertions and fell fainting in the stream.

THAT ARE RARE.

Diamonds can now be engraved in a very artistic manner. It has long been believed that it was impossible to carve designs on these hard, glittering stones, but some roughlv engraved were found in India and at the Paris exposition of 1S78 a diamoud was exhibited on which a portrait of the king of Holland had been sratched. The wrolt was imperfect, however, and the stone was practically ruined.

A Paris Jeweler has done som eof the best work in this line. One diamond is a scarf pin in the shape of a yataghan, the blade of a slender diamond and the handle of ivory. Another is a large, circular stone on which a pansy la engraved.

An elaborate piece of work is a bicycle. The wheels are made from two large, circular diamonds, the spokes being represented by lines drawn on the diamonds.

Another diamond is carved ,to represent a fish. A handsome brooch is a scarabaeus surrounded by sapphires and brilliants.

Other examples shown by this skillful jeweler afe flies, the wings made from thin, engraved diamonds: two other diamonds, engraved with armorial bearings and the imperial arms of Russia, are used in one instance on shirt and cuff buttons.

Sarah Bernhardt has a magnificent collection of jewels but she does not care for diamonds. Her fancy runs to the quaint ornaments of mediaeval times and belts and chatelaines are her treasures. She rarely wears ear rings or bracelets.
