Hay Options Closed 1 5-8 dm* Decline—Corn and Oats Both •«. Uccllaa.

Chicago, Jan. 21.—The dullness which prevailed In the wheat market today rendered It easy to depress prices. Scalpers took advantage of that fact and the May option closed at a %c decline. Cables were Weak and some doubt was expressed as to the truth of the reported big cash business at St.liouis. Other markets were also weak, corn declining Y4.c, oats about %c, and provisions 2%@5e.

Wheat started weak at from 79% to 79%c far May, as compared with 80%@80%c yesterday aieernoon. It was kept on the run until It got to 79%c, which it reached in a very few minutes from the opening. A weakening factor was the Liverpool cable, which reported that market a shade easier, notwithstanding the advance of nearly %c here the day before. This indifference among English buyers was discouraging to holders, and as a good deal of long wheat was carried over last night in the expectation that Liverpool would come higher, after it failed to do so there was tree liquidation and lower prices. Anotl /1?scouraglng piece of news was the deriial by St. Louis of the cash business tnere, which was given so much importance yesterday. Some axfvices from there said that instead' of 420,000 bushels having been bought in two days the transactions were really 20,000 bushels in three days. There was another dispatch, however, which not only confirmed yesterday's report, but said 50,000 bushels more had tieen added this morning. Cut the fact that the St. Louis market was nearly %c lower and that fome of the St Louis longs seemed to be liquidating here caused the trade to distrust the reported sales here.

Chicago received 29 car loads, against 108 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth lcccived 252 cars, against 272 a week ago and 436 on the corresponding day of last year. Atlantic port exports were equal io» wheat and flour to 411,000 bushels. Cash sales of wheat here comprised 64,000 bushels No. 2 spring lOr export, 60,000 bushels No. 1 northern for prrmpt rail shipment to New York, 18,000 bushels, ohiefly No. 2 spring, and 10,000 bushels vaiious grades. The price recovered to 79%c after the decline to 79%c, but short sellers got after it again and kept the market under their control for the Test of the session. May finally declined to 7S%c, but recovered somewhat and closed at 79%@79^c.

Corn was dull and sold off %c. The weakness in wheat was a depressing factor, while the weather was supposed to favor lirger receipts and better inspection. This brought out considerable liquidation and short selling. Atlantic port exports were again liberal, amounting to 604,000 bushels. May opened %c lower at 24%c, declined to 24c, and closed easy it 24@24%c.

A fairly good scalping business was done in oats. The feeling was weak and prices were lower, though confined to a narrow range. Sympathy with wheat and corn tea great oxtent caused the weakness. May opened a Bhade lower at 18c, declined to I7%c and recovered to 17%c, where it closed.

Provisions were firm at the start and quite a brisk trade was done for an hour or so. Packers supplied the demand on some decline which followed, other packers who had 1 een short bought them and the market ruled dull but Arm at the decline during the remainder of the session. At the close May pork vas Be lower at $7.97^6 May lard about 2%c lower at 54.07%, and May ribs 2%c lower at ?4.10@ 4.12%. til

JVIONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

Wall Street Characterized By Dullness and Depression. New York, Jan. 21.—Dullness and depression in prices characterized today'3 stock market and some sensational movements were noted# in the unusually inactive specialties. News of the day worked in favor of the bears but there was little or no evidence of liquidation in the leading shares. Expectations of a favorable sentimental effect of the reduction in the minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England to 3% per cent were not realized, swing to an unlooked for further selling movement in this market for foreign account. The influences contributed to depress the market included reports of suspensions in the Northwest, rumors of a heavy defalcation at Minneapolis and suggestions affecting the financial credit of the Hocking Valley and Long Island Railroad Companies. Covering of shorts imparted steadiness to the market it intervals, but the main trend of prices was downward, the selling pressure being most pronounced in the late dealings. The speculation presented but little feature outside some Df the usually inactive specialties. Hocking Valley dropped 8% per cent to 8% with a subsequent recovery of 3 per cent, and the preferred sold off 12% to 40. ."the 6 per cent bonds Seclined 4 and the 6s 2% per cent Long Island was also pressed for sale on rumors of an Impending unfavorable report by the experts now engaged In an examination of the property in the interest of the syndicate which purchased the Corbfln holdings. The stock sold down 4 per cent "regular."

The coalers and grangers were prominent in a late selling movement and the general market closed weak at a net loss of a point or thereabouts in the more active shares.

Railway bond*, niled generally firm on moderate dealings. The sales were $1,157,000. The total sales of stocks today were 141,242 Bhares, including American Sugar 33,000 Burlington and Quincy 13,300 Chicago Gas 10,300 Bt. Paul 19,500.

Grant's Game of| Mumble the Fey. An old oitizen of Georgetown, O., relates the following incident: "A favorite game with the boys of John D. White's subscription school at Georgetown wasmnrnble the peg. Grant couldn't play the game very skillfully, and the peg always got a few clandestine liofea every time he was to pull it. On one occasion it was driven in so deep that the boys thought Lys could never get it out He set to work with his forehead down in the dirt, the sun beating hot upon him, and the crowd of boys and girls shutting out every breath of fresh air. The peg would not move. The red faoed, shook headed, thickset boy, with his face all over mud, had forgotten his comrades and saw only one thing in the world—that was this stubborn peg. The bell rang, but the boy did not hear it.

A minute later, after a final effort, he staggered to his feet with the peg in his mouth. The old schoolmaster was in the door of the sohoolhouse, with his long beech switch, the only person to be seen. There was glee inside at this new development Here was fun the boys had not counted on. Imagine their surprise when, as the boy came closer, and the stern old schoolmaster saw his face, he seb down the switch inBide the door and came outside. One boy slipped to the window and reported to the rest. The old man was pouring water on Lys Grant's hands and having him wash his face. He gave him his red bandanna to wipe it dry. What the school saw a minute later was the schoolmaster coming in patting this very red and embarrassed boy on the head. "—Hamlin Garland in McClure's.

Hnognrlan Labor Troubles. London, Jan. 21.—It is reported in a Vienna dispatch to the Chronicle that a strike riot at Anlna, in Hungary, gendarmes fired upon the s: rikers, killing eight persons and wounding twelve.

The wives of the strikers were prominent in the riot, and several women are among the killed and injured. The military are still held in readiness as a renewal of the troubles is expected.

UseieeaneM of Bigh Priccd Sflrwwii# Set Forth—Troubles It Cause* to Its Owners—The Story of Snocessloa of Wedding Presents.

"See the elegance of tb© curves, the simplicity and purity of *the lines,!' said the melanoholy ellveraOiWj? holding aloft the teapot. "What perfection of grace! What perfection of form I"

The lady craned her head about and shift' ed her lorgnette as her eyes followed with eager interest the twistlngs of the silversmith's long, slender hand, which was used to point oat the various beauties of the objeot. Bis expression deepened as be noted thqse signs of attention.

The man's melanoholy bad reached such a degree that the lady, impelled perhaps by the desire of adxhlnisterlng oonsolatiofr, said she would take the set.

The silversmith shrugged his shoulders as the lady went out and gave an outward sweep of his hand as If denying all responsibility in the matter. Then he attempted to justify himself to his confidant. "Why will people do suoh things?" he demanded. Why will they buy. such things? Will they never learn that silverware is either the biggest burden they can lay upon themselves or else the most useless possession? Jewelry is bad enough, but people get used to it Of course when a woman gets costly jewels they haunt her day and night at first. She has to send them to the safe deposit vault the moment she takes them off. If they are of extraordinary cost, she wants watchmen and private detectives hovering about her when she wears them. She may send for the police when she gives & party. But in most cases she gets over this feeling in time, and instead of dreaming of burglars she treats her jewels with an unconcern whioh some people might call carelessness. "But with silverware it is different. Sometimes, when I am more depressed than usual, I think It is the most useless thing that was evar invented. We silversmiths spend days and nights elaborating our art and turn out beautiful objects, Worthy to Challenge the admiration of the world, and what becomes of them? They are sent down here," stamping bis foot on the floor. "They are put Into the vaults in our cellar, and human eyes seldom rest upon them. Talk about excavating in the ruins of Troy, the rubbish of Athens, for beautiful objects!" he exclaimed, with a snort of disgust. "Why not excavate in the silversmith's vaults and the safe deposit, vaults of New York right here? "Let me tell you an instance," he resumed when his melanoholy allowed him to speak again. "Thirty years ago one of the rich men of New York went to Europe and there saw a magnificent tea service of silver, which he bought for til,000, and when he returned here he presented it to the man who was his most intimate friend. The friend valued the tea service not only on account of the friendship that gave it to him, but also for its own sake, but what could he do with it? Life even among the rich was far plainer then than it is today, and even today what could a man do with an 111,000 tea servioe? So he did what seemed the most sensible thing to do under the circumstances. He sent the whole outfit here for safe keeping, and I don't suppose it's been out of our vaults half a dozen times since. "But that isn't all. A couple of years ago the daughter of the man who went to Europe got married. The intimaoy between the two families had been kept up and increased, and the friend, who is a very rich man, now made up his mind to show his friendly feelings by giving the daughter the finest wedding present he could prooure. Now, his tea service was originally a very fine one. During all the years it has been buried in our vaults tradition has been having a chance to magnify its beauty, until now it is held in the two families to be the most magnificent thing in the world, and its owner, in searching about for a wedding present for his friend's daughter, could conceive of no finer idea than to have made an exact copy of his own tea service. We made it. We could have improved on the originals in workmanship, but he didn't want that done, so we made an exact copy. The cost was $8,000 so he saved something. Now, what was the bride to do with all this mass of silver? What but send it here to lie in darkness alongside of the other set, and here it has been ever since it was displayed at the wedding to the admiration and wonder of the guests. That was its one public appearance. I have no doubt that when one of the grandchildren of the owner of the first set is married in a few years she will feel it her duty to have a third set made as a wedding present. Then it will be sent to us to take care of along with the other two." "I don't seewhyyou should complain," remarked the. man to whom all this had keen nddressed. "I'm jot complaining, but do you call it common sense? It is profitable for me, and 1 cannot see that my conscience should reproach me for the part I take in it, but snoh things make me tired. Think of the woman who just left. Her husband will pay between $1,200 and $1,500 maybe for a tea set for her, and she will keep it at her house for awhile and then send it to us. Where is the sense of that?" "But some people do keep their silverware at home and enjoy it," tho other man insisted. "They keep it at home, but they don't enjoy it. I am talking now of people whose silver is valued by the thousands of dollars, who have massive objects and works of art not for ordinary use. What enjoyment do they get out of it? They may have vaults built in their houses, and the bigger and stronger the vault the greater source of worry it is to them. They are worried by burglar alarm companies, and by watchmen's companies, and b$ rival safe companies, and by detective agencies, and every time they hear of a burglary they have cold shivers for a week, and they can't see a tramp come to the basement door without a tremor. If a vault fails to give people a feeling of security, wlfire are the people who have only a safe? You m&t see that the only oourse giving anything near absolute security is to send the silver to some semipublio place of deposit, where men and electricity .and clocks are ever on guard. Then, in that case, what is the use of owning the silver?"—New York Sun.'

CALIFORNIA PEARLS.

jiAfiMWi,

The Groat Majority Found Are of littler Value. The beds of the gulf of California produced enormously for awhile, yielding many pearls of great size. For some time, 150 years back, the output was 800 to

600

pounds of the "gems ot the ocean" annual lyt In 1700 a collection of big pearls was made there for a oollar that became the property of the queen of Spain, and whioh is even now one of the most valuable possessions of the Iberian crown. As late as 1S81 a black pearl, valued at $10,000 and weighing 28 carats, was obtained from those waters. One of twice that weight, light brown and worth $8,000, was cured in 1883, and in the same year a merchant of La Paz, Hamed Hidalgo, bought from an Indian for $10 a pearl of beauteous luster, whiuh he sold in Paris for $5,300. All the Wack pearls got from the gulf «f California are sent to Europe, because over there they fetch more than white ones, being a fad.

GREAT VOYAGERS*

As a General Bale They Came Frota the

It is a somewhat peculiar circumstance In the history of ocean navigation that the ohlef navigators of Burppe have usually been natives

minor kingdoms a$d with

out the advantages which would naturally aoorue to a representative of bne of the larger governments.

Christopher Oolumbjfs, as every schoolboy knows, was a native of Genoa at the time when the Italian jpeninsula was subdivided among numerous petty governments. John Cabot was a Venetlki),,,who sailed in the service of England, asColum-: bus had sailed in the swvioe ©r Sjwim Amerigo Vesptfoci was a Florentine,' sailed originally in tba servioe of Spai'n, and Afterward transfehred himself tosthfi Portuguese service, ajid then went back to the Spanish service for a second time.

Titus Bering, after whom Bering strait was called, wail a Dane by birth, who served under the naval flag of Russia. Magellan, after whom Magellan strait was named, was a native of Alemtojo, In Portugal, and was the first to complete the circumnavigation of the globe, in 1592.

Verazzani was a Florentine, whose voyages of discovery Were undertaken under the protection of the fiag of France. Hendriok Hudson was an Englishman, and it seems surprising to flaany persons in this day familiar with the pre-eminence of England as a maritime nation that he should have been in the service of the government of Holland when he^disoovered Manhattan Island.—San Franoisoo Chronicle.

Let Us All Talk EaglUt,.

In the Boston Globe Mr. William Henry Thome writes pungently and is fearless in his opinions. All will agree with him that children born of foreign parents in America must be brought up as Amerioans:

French Canadians, Gerjnans, Italian* and What not living in this country should not forgetlbbaiN English is the language of the country and is bound to be so, and as they all make efforts to learn enough English to conduct their varioui business avocations in English so should they studiously make efforts to understand their religion in English. Further, while the senior pastor in all oases Ineluded in the foregoing class should be as indicated, it seems to me that the bishop of every mixed parish is bound to consider also the fact that the children born to these foreign parents in America are Americans—not Germans or Frenchman or what not—and tibat these children will, by force of unyielding oiroumstaiipek be obliged to mak« the English language their own language from the cradle to the grave. Therefore the assistant pastor lu all suoh cases should be an Eogli$h| i&eaking pastor, capable of Instructing qnd bound to instrtttt the youth of each congregation in catechism and in all ttitfriftes of the church la the English language And where then oan be but one priest he should speak the foreign language tC ijhe aged foreigners and the English to the young.

An Epiatolary Objection.

Si Pittsburg Wasn't on the Map. Early in the present century, when vessels sometimes cleared Pittsburg for a sea voyage, the captain of a ship arrived at Leghorn with a cargo. The officer Who examined his papers at once said: "Sir, your papers are forged. There is no such place as Pittsburg in the world. Your vessel must be confiscated." The frightened captain then secured a map, directed the officer's attention to the gulf of Mexico,' pointed out the mouth of the Mississippi, followed that stream to the Ohio, tbenoe to the forks and said, though the map ahow«d no suoh place, "There, sir, ii the port where my vessel cleared out"

J^tVlDKND NOTICE.

The preliminaries of the great prize fight were all arranged when the repre* gentatlve of one of the principals raised a protest, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I want to ask," he said, "if it is true that the opposite side insists upon the use of the fashionably nuw red writing paper in this contest?" "We reserve that right," replied the Other man's manager. "Then," said the first speaker, "I'fed obliged to declare all the negotiations off. My principal is a gentleman of refined and eeethetio tastes, and from bis elevated point of view red writing paper is quite too suggestive of freshly shed gore. Understand me. We don't object to red handled pens or even to* red ink, but we do dray, the line at red paper."
