Whatever strength wheat had was displayed at the opening and was only a. momentary fraotional rally, May opened from 80%c to 81V4c, compared with Saturday's closing price of 80%c, most of the trading being done at the lower of the two quotations. The strength of the market at the Btart was in part due to the sudden change of the weather from spring mildness to winter serevity, with wheat exposed to the full effect of the severe frosts It was partly caused also by the indication of a small aggregate* or the world's shipments of wneat and flour for the week. Beerbohm's report made the total 5,120,000 bushels, but a private cablegram from Liverpool suggested the total as 4,060,000 bushels, or about 2,500,Q00 bushels less than the weekly requirements of Europe.

Chicago, Jan. 18.—Wheat started fitrotag today but turned weak and closed at a decline of %c from Saturday's closing price. The poor foreign demand and weakness of cablcs were features, the decline in corn also having some effect. Corn and oats were both ysry weak, closing to %c lower. Proyisloas started the same way but turned strong attd closed at slight advances.

Cables were a disappointment, Liverpool showing only a pence advance at the opening and closing at %d decline from those figures. There were practicaiiy no responses to cabled offers from this side and traders who bought Saturday anticipating a demand unloaded again. The late cables from Liverpool increased the dissatisfaction and were influential in pressing prices down to 80^c before 11:30 o'clock. The visible supply statement showed a decrease of 1,413,050 bushels, being heavier than generally looked for. A year ago the week's decrease was 357,000 bushels. Chicago receipts were twenty-five car-loads, on the similar day a year ago they were ninetyeight cars. Minneapolis and Duluth received 313 cars, against 361 on the week before, and 572 last year. Atlantic port shipments was small at 182,000 bushels in wheat and flour The market recovered from

to 80%c and

the latter price was current about 1 o'clock, but a sudden drive of the bears was made In the last ten minutes, which reduced the figures to 80%c at the close.

Corn had a decidedly active session. The market showed some strength, but soon turned weak on a heavy selling by the elevator people. Country offerings were much increased by the cold weather. There was a flight lally before the session ended, but the losing was weak at close to the bottom. May opened a shade higher at 24%@24%c, declined to 24*ic and closed at 24%@24%c.

Oats opened steady but a weak feeling soon developed, owing to the cold weather, which caused a fear of a heavy movement. The weakness of wheat and corn was also felt. At the decline a very good business was transacted. May opened a shade higher at 18%c, declined to 18%c and closed at 18%@18%c.

Provisions fared well, notwithstanding the weakness of the grain markets, which made its influence felt near the close of the session. The run of hogs was large but an active demand existed, Armour betug credited with heavy purchases and a slight advance resulted. At the close May pork was about 2^0 higher at ?8.07V& May lard about 2V&c higher at |4.10 @4.12%, and May ribs 5c higher at $4.17%.

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

W*ll Street Has the Busiest Day in Many Weeks* New York, Jan. 18.—The stock market today was quite animated and tho volume of business considerably larger than on any day In a number of weeks past. The a\ovement of prices was Irregular, owing to heavy realization of profits, which was again partly offset by fresh buying for long account. The dealings were Well distributed and improvement was generally noted, with the specialties in exceptional favor, Manhattan rising 1V£ per cent. In the regular railway list important fractional gains were scored, the grangers and Southwesterns leading. The upward movement was seou stemmed on Bales for both accounts.

Following up the selling to take profits the larger professional bears utilized the news of several banks failing in the Southwest to emphasize the reaction, and with fair success, particularly in the specialties. Manhattan was offered freely and fell 3^4 per cent to 90%. Sugar was-depressed 2, Burlington li, and other stocks 1@1M per cent from the top figures. Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks again suffered from liquidation, the common yielding and the preferred 3% per cent. In the late trading the selling pressure Increased and the traders seemed to meet with little or no opposition in their raiding tactics. The closing was weak at sharp fractional net losses in most of the active specks. Among the inactive shares, however, gains were numerous. Ann Arbor preferred figured for 2%, Illinois Steel 2, Tobacco preferred and Delaware and Lackawanna 1%, and Minneapolis and St.. Louis first preferred and Metropolitan Trac-' tion 1% per cent.

The bond market maintained decided strength throughout and was not Influenced by the weakness of the stock market. The dealings were unusually large, aggregating $2,969,000, and Included a greater variety of Issues than has been dealt in for a long time. Gains were recorded' of from 1 to 5 per cent, the latter in Missouri Pacific firsts.

The total sales of sticks today were 301.776 shares, including American Sugar 44,900 Burlington 42,600 Chicago Gas 12.600 Reading 20,500 Rock Island 11,500 St. Paul 29,400.

A Water Microbe.

One of the unaccountable phenomena of the Blaok sea lias lately been explained by the bacteriologists and the mlcrobologist6. Since time out of memory it bas been a well known fact that there were no deep aea flsh in the body of water mentioned. Away baok in 1650 the scientists made an investigation and found that fish could not 15ve at ft greater depth than lOOfathoijas in the water of the Black sen on account of the presenco of a suparabundanoe of sulphurated hydrogen. Time and again the waters were stocked with deep sea flsh, but all died on account of the poisonous gas which was generated in suoh quantities in those portions of the water which should have been their natural habitat. It was known that the gas was at the bottom of all the trouble, but exactly where the gas came from was what puzzled the investigators. The microbologists finally took the matter in hand, and a recent observer now announces that the gas is generated by the countless number of microbes which make their home in the ooze at the bottom. This microbe dqooniposes mineral sulphates and has been named Bacillus hydrousulfuriouH ponticus,—St. Louis RepubllOn

The Bight Hand.

The reason for using the right hand more than the left is one of the still unsolved problems of physiology, although hundreds, of people have addressed themselves to it. Some think the reason is that the great innominate artery carries more blood to the right side and nourishes it more. Others think it is beoause the supply of blood to the left side of the brain is more plentiful than to the right. And as it is the left brain which works the muscles of the right-side of the body, this may really be the freftson. One philosopher thinks it is due to the fact that the right side of the body ia heavier, owing to the situation of the liver. But the mora likely of all explanations is that of Mr. Herbert Spencer. He says that uncivilized men very early found out that they were more vulnerable on the left side than on the right. With their left hand, therefore, they held the shield that protected the heart, and with their right wielded the spear and olub. Of course the active right arm became much stronger than the resting, left.

Fatigued With Standing.

Not only the saleswomen oomplain, but trained nurses often suffer from swollen feet, especially when they first go into hospitals. A powder whloh is much used in the German army for sifting into the shoes and stookings of the infantry soldiers might be of servloe. It consists of 8 parts of salioylio ncid, 10 parts of starch and 87 parts of pulverized soapstone. This keeps the feet dry, prevents obaflng and heals any sore spots The soapstone alone, without the other ingredients, has also been found useful, aBd soap alone will give relief when well rubbed over the sole of the stocking.

Worth. Considering.

"How is it that you are always in debt! You should be-ashkifted of Yourself." "Come now. Don't be too hard on a fellow. You would perhaps be in debt, too, if yon were in my place.' Vf "What place?" "Able to get credit. "—Odds and Ends.

It is claimed that the perfume of flowers disappears as soou. as.the starch in the petals is exhausted, and it may, lt is said, be restored Jay placing the flowers in a solution of sugar, when the formation of starch and the omission of fragrance will be at onco resumed.

FLOATED ACROSS THE,OCEAN.

Long Voyage of a Soda Water Bottle From Quebec to Sweden. Over 3,000 miles, across the stormy North Atlantic ocean from tho Canadian coast to the shoreB of Sweden, is the drifting record that a common glass soda water bottle has just made, says the New York Herald.

Three thousand miles is in reality only-» very small portion of the actual distance traveled by this bottle ,and when the varying drifts of the many ocean currents which exist in the North Atlantic are considered, it can readily be seen that the chances are th»t 10,000 miles would not be an extreme estimate for the distance covered.

Within the bottle was a message asking that it be returned to the writer, and, although a period of thirteen months elapsfltj. between the time the bottle was thrown ingo the sea oft Newfoundland coast and the finding of It on the coast of Sweden, the message was finally sent to the man who WTOte it, apparently none the worse for its long voyage. It now forms a conspicuous memento among a lot of curios gathered from all parts of the world.

On the afternoon of September 28, 1895, Bdwin C. McCoy, of Huntingdon, Quebec, was one of a party of returning tourists who, on board the steamship Lake Winnipeg, •ojj counting the days and hours before they wOUld reach their homes.

One of the party suggested that as the voyage was nearly ended they should each. inclose a message within a bottle and throw them overboard, and that each of the party should notify tho others in the event of the message being returned.

Without any expectation of ever hearing from it again, Mr. McCoy, with the others, threw a bottle overboard. It was an ordinary white glass soda bottle, about gight Inches long, with a short neck, and weighed about ten ounces. It was securely corked, and within was a slip of paper torn from an ordinary notebook. The paper was ruled With blue lines, and on it was written in lead pencil the following: "S. S. Lake Winnipeg, September 28, 1895.-r The finder will be rewarded by returning this to E. C. McCoy, "Huntington, Quebec, Canada."

When the bottle was thrown overboard the steamer was just entering the gulf stream oft the Newfoundland coast, and was about 100 miles from the Straits of Belle Isle. Had the bottle continued in the main stream it would have been washed ashore on the Scan dinavlan coast long ago. but everything indicates that through some trick of wind and wave the bottle got out of the main stream and mifst have followed the course of the currents which sets southwesterly from the British coast, around the Azores and on into the westerly trade winds, which set steadily toward the American coasts.

There are several currents in this part of the ocean, ail of which have a westerly drift:, some toward the South American coast, while others turn in a more northerly direction, and eventually get back into the gulf stream. This was the coursp. In all probability, followed by the bottle, and as evidence of this there were found on it when it was picked up pieces of seaweed and marine growths which could only become attached to it in tropical waters.

On October 7. 1896, thirteen months after Mr. McCoy dropped the bottl^overboard. Alfred Alstrur-^ a teacher in the public schools of Grobestad, Sweden, was walking along the seashore near that place when his attention was attracted bv something which had jUst been washed ashore by the waves.

He picked it up and found it to be a glass bottle. Clinging to the.outside and the cork wore lontr seaweeds ana tiny marine animafs, while within could be seen a piece of paper with some writing upon it. Taking it home Mr. Alstrum read the contents of the npto.) and, findinsr It to be the one dropped montM before by Mr. McCoy into the sea, he mailed tho note back to Canada.

Mr. McCoy was not a littlo surprised -the other dav to receive a letter postmarked Oreb'estad, Sweden, and he was none the less surprised when his long-absent note was received from the bottle. This is tho onlv .letter. so far as known, which ever madeitneY Journey across the ocean without the aid of man.
