Ent Closed at a SHffht DeclJno--Otber Markets Were Dull and Heavy. ,j ,. '. •. .V- i,«1 «i 1 t#f-V

Chicago, Jan. 25.—The opening of the wheat

market today was at a slight advance, the close al V2C decline gincet Saturday. The less would have been jterhapW somewhat greater

if it had not been that some of the traders at almost the last moment decided It Uflwise

to leave the floor short .with a government report to be encounter^ tomorrow. Ofifer markets were dull arid heavy but show only

trifling changes in prices. Wheat opened very quietly. May started this morning at 80%c, Or about l-16c higher as the extitme limit, at which a few buyers were found. The slight improvement here noticed was because of &d advance at Liverpool, together with the severe cold which had' so suddenly supplanted the previously prevail

ing springlike weather. But the extreme dullness, coupled with the rather unsatisfactory tone of some of the statistical news, soon depressed the price to 79%c. The demand for cash wheat was entirely Jacking, and in the absence of such demand, the small world's shipments and domestic receipts and a considerable reduction in the visible supply were disregarded. A comparatively smali decrgase in the amount on ocean passage was regarded as an important bearish factor and an increase of 190,000 -busja^ls in Liverpool stocks for the week were also considered of much greater consequence than 249,000 bushels decrease in the entire stock of the United Kingdom.

The receipts here were 33 care, compared with 80 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth received 185 cars against 313 a week ago and 724 a year ago. The world's shipments of wheat and flour were 4,509,000 bushels, compared with weekly requirementB of 7,000,000 bushels. The visible decreased 1,154,000 bushels, compared with 564,000 bushels decrease a year ago. The export clearances from Atlantic ports since Saturday were only 155,000 bushels in wheat and flour together. The price here gpt down to 79V4, but firmed up again near the close, due to an indisposition among seme few scalpers to go home short with the uncertainty of the Washington agricultural report hanging: over them. The closing price ?as 79y2@79%c.

Corn waa inactive and nearly featureless. The price held about steady during the first hour, but when wheat got easier corn also •old off a fraction. The vlslbfia Increased 296,Q00 bushels, against an increase of 2,718.000 ouahels last year. May Opened a shade higher at 24c, fluctuated within a ?4c margin end closed easy at 23%c.

Oats were quiet with nothing of any consequenoe to report of the market. Trading was rather limited and entirely of a local scalping nature. A slight decline was noted' due to sympathy with wheat. May opened a shade higher at 17%®il8c, sdld at 18c. declined to 17%o and closed at 17%@17%o bid.

Provisions were very slow. There was momentary strength at the opening on the moderate hog receipts, tout the market soon flattened out and for the greater part of the day prices, tended downward. Near the close some covering by shorts produced a reaction and most of the early loss was recovered. At the close May pork was 2%c lower at. $8.02% May lard a shade lower at $4.07%, and May ribs a shade lower at $4.10./

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

llftrket Opens Weak and Sluggish In Wall

Street.

New York. Jan. 25.—One of the lowest records of business recently established was made today in1 the stock market. The anthracite coal stocks exerted a decidedly unfavorable Sympathetic influence upon the general list. The market opened weak and generally lower under the news of unsatisfactory London prices for American securities. The covering of shorts soon checked the reactionary tendency and caused a general advance. Deleware and Hudson and New Jersey Central gained' 1*4 and 1 per cent respectively. Business was in small -volume,, however, and confined to the leading properties. .Trading after the first hour became intensely dull with prices showing a disposition to sag on realizations and bear sales. Bear operations against the anthracite coalers increased forcibly, based upon the expectation of unfavorable annual reports ot the Delaware and Hudson and Lackawanna to be made public this week. The first men--tioned droped 2% and the last 2% per cent, while New Jersey Central suffered to the extent of 2% per cent.

The grangers, general railroad list and Industrials were sympathetically- depressed fractionally. The closing \yas weak at general fractional net losses.

Railway bonds were quiet but generally well held. The sales were $1,068,000. The total sales of stocks today were 122,879 shares, including American Sugar 20,100 Bur-* lington 15,400 Reading 11.500 St. Paul 13,200.

HOGS EAT A FARMER'S WEALTH.

JDevonr $500 Which Had Been Hidden in Their Pen.

Exeter, N. H., Ja$. 25.—Daniel O'Calla-

"han, a well-tordo farmer of this town, is 80

years old, and has a rooted distrust of sav

ings banks. When his promising son, John,

•tired of the poor fare and hard work on a

rocky New Hampshire farm and started

"west to seek his fortune, he left a roll of

$500 in his father's custody. The old man

hid the money in the hog pen. The hogs scented the greenbacks, and one day succeeded in rooting tbem out, and, finding them palatable, devoured the whole $500. This was a year ago.

John did .not make his fortune. He roamed around the mining camp£, contracted a disease of the eyes, and then came home. He asked his father for the $500, and when it

was not forthcoming took a drink. The old man called in a doctor, who prescribed a

"greenback" plaster. The old man made his SOU a "gift" of $100, which worked'wonders. He asked fw more, and did not get if, so he sued the senior O'Callahan. Today the jury gave a verdict in favor of the old mafl. This makes the hogs guilty of grand lafceny, but they! are dead and gone.

y. Newspaper Statistics.

A publisher of a statistical turn of mind has bean compiling soma figures about the newspaper business that are astonishing. The total number of copies of newspapers printed in a single year is 12,000,000,000, a figure which looks most imposing when set out in numerals. The approximate weight of this mass of paper is 7Slr24Q tons, or 1,562,480 000 poands.

If the newspapers of the world should, consolidate, it would take the fastest press in the world a matter cif 838 years to print the edition of one year.: Folded in the usual manner and stacked on end, the pile would be 270,000 feet,5 or nearly 50 miles, high.—New Yoifk Journal. tj

HAD' A

FONDNESS FOR SOMETHING.

Wellington and Napoleon liked the ttat-

tie of Babes and Milton Courted Song.

Byron's Love of Flowers and Dogs—Pel-

lias on and the Spider.

Hemy IY of France, the great Huguenot king, who has lately become familiar to many of us in the works of Mr. Stanley Weyman, was passionately fond of children. It is related of hlurrhat one day he fras discovered by an embassador crawling On all fours with the dauphin on hla back and the rest of the royal olffldren urging him to equine feats. H® was not abashed, and, without rising, said to the Intruder "Have you children, Mr, Embassador?" ''Yes,sire." "In thai*case,1' replied

Henry,

"I shall proceed with Bay sport." A fondness for children was a feature in the character of the Duke of Wellington, and also in that of hi a graat adversary, Napoleon. rtJs difficult to realize this imperious man, this terror of nation s, dandling the young king of Bome In his arras *pd laughingly daubing his faoe with sauce from his breakfast plate. Yet so it is recorded of him. Another of his weaknesses waa for the music of bells. He would stop in the midst of a discussion on tbe gravest subjects to listen to a village peal, and be surprised and almost indignant if those about him failed to evince a corresponding interests "They remind me, he said on one oocaslon,'' of the first years

I passed at Brlenne.

I was happy then." Music, indeed, in onQiforra or another has been the hobby of many great men.

Milton delighted £0 play upon tbe organ and opmposed many flue chants to psalms. Gainsborough {ferfociued withl no little skill on tLe violin. Many of the anxious and feverish hours of Luther were solaoed by his iiute. The great reformer, however, had another favorite recreation is the shape of the game of skittles or ninepins. Probably the suooess attending bis labors neve# gave him so keen an exhilaration of pleasure as did the knocking down of all the

pins ^t a stroke. Byron loved flowers and kept his rooms constantly deoked with thQjtn. He said that he drew from them his iosplvfttion. In the later years Of fei'a fonned a great affection for doM, and. generally had some of them about feTm. A favorite on£, on Its demicut, retytfeg thf Honor of a Byronio epitaph. Maby famous men have displayed a sfittil^r ^diieaa fbr anln^als, and in not ajfefw instances the ataimal ohosep bas^been or a Ipod usually cofineoied with household p$8. Cardinal Mcift lieu foudd amu^oaent in a oolleonon of cats. The poelj Cow per taified hares ^nd spent much of his time feeding and fondling them. Goethe made friends with an animal of a far lees inviting description. It Is related of him that he rarely passed a day Without bringing from a chimney corner a live snake, whioh he kept there, and caressed" it like a bosom friend. Hardly a more agreeable form was taken by Rembrandt, who became devoted to an ape. When he heard of this animal's death, he was so overcomesiWith grief that he introduced its figure into a group he was then engaged upon of a noble family. Needless to say, the family in question refused to Teoognize this unseemly addition to their numbers, and, the painter declining to erase it, the picture waB left on his hands. It iseaid to be still in existence.

Mora remarkable almost than any of these is the friendship whioh Pelisson made with a spider in order to beguile the tedium of solitary confinement in the bastile. That a creature of this kind should show itself amenable to suoh Influence is perhaps more to be wondered at than that a man

placed, should desire to tame.it

James I was another lover of animals, but he does not seem to have confined his favor to any particular variety. He kept a private menagerie in St. James' park, wherein all manner of beasts wero gathered together and tended with scrupulous care. Sables, white gyrfaloons of Iceland and fiying squirrels were, we are told, among the most highly prized specimens in this collection.

About the year 1689 the king of Spain obtained the good offices of his majesty by the diplomatio presentation of an elephant and five camels. The former of these appears to have been a somewhat costly visitor to* entertain. He required two Spanish keepers as well as two English ones for his sole service, and a breefe noate what the ohardges of the elephant and his keepers are in tho yeare" sets the figure at £275 12a. ($1,378). This computation^ however, does not seem to have oovered. tbe entire expense, for the "breefe noate" is supplemented by tbe following: "Besides his keepers afirme that from the month cf September until April he must drink (not water) but wyne—and from April unto September he must have a gallon of wyne the dftye."

Apart from animals, the vagaries of great men have taken many similar forms. Beethoven was possessed with a continual desire to change ledgings. Hardly was he installed in one set of apartments than ho would discover some defect in tjbem and set about searahing for others. What a field is thera here, surely, for the enterprising tourist! He wotild be an unlucky man, indeed, who should fail to unearth at least one of the great composer's many abodes.—London Standard.

Record of Conductor SJierwood Stretches 128 Times Around the World.

There is a dining car conduotor on the Northern Pacific road, running out of Minneapolis every week or two for the coast, who keeps a chalk mark record of his trips from the Atlantic to the Paoifio coast, just as tbe Arizona Kid used to keep tally of the men he had killed by cutting a notch on his gun butt. There are 535 obalk marks down now and 138 little elides, representing tbe equivalent of journeys around tbe glob?.

The conductor is W. S. Sherwood, and be has bad 23 years' continuous service. For ten years he was running fpr the Prills mans from New Yerk to Chicago and from Chicago to 9t. PauL He made these trips 840 times. Then, as soon as tbe Northern Paoifio was completed from tbe Mississippi to the westarn ooaap, in 1888, be started in its dining servioe, and he has gone frwpi here to Tacoma mere than 500 times. In all, in his 28 years of .service, he has rqn 8,812,000 miles, or 128 times apoaod the world, and he thinks he carries the record as a traveler. He has never been hurt in a wreck-—in fact, has never been In but 009, and that was a mere bluff at a Wreok. He is the oply man yet on the road who has been with it slnoe it was first pat through to the coast.

He had oharge of the famous Henry Yillard party that went through on the Northern Pacific in triumphal prpoe«slon—the party that left St Paul under' arphee of roses after unlimited champagne and oame back a week later, villard's power gone, with beer the only drink and abase In the plaoe ef arches.
