He was sitting in an easy chair, with his clothes and hat on, clutching a revolv er, whioh was recognized as his own. He had placed the weapon close to the middle of his forehead and pulled the trigger. WEEKLY . MARKET LETTER. Downing, Hopkins Company'a Review 1 of Trade. ' , There was much activity in the Chi cago market during the past week. There was a temporary advance in July wheat of 5 cents per bushel, but the end of the week shows a tendency to sell out on the confident assertions that the present week will see a good begin ning of the movement of new wheat to market. There is no indication that the de mands from the milling interests will be sufficient to head off any great quan tity of it as the flour trade js appar ently calling for lessened rather than increased production. It therefore re mains with the farmer to say whether or not he will sell now or at some time in the future. The developments of the last few days lead the trade to be lieve that there will be the usual lib eral marketing of wheat almost direct from the harvester. Looked at in the broad sense, however, the wheat mar ket is in a strong position the world over, and the coming' twelve months should see a higher jrice level than the last twelve. America should take a more than usually prominent part in the trade of the year, as the present crop promises to be not only the finest qual ity but relatively larger than , that of any other country. The government figures on production issued July 10, are practically ignored by the trade. They indicate a crop nearly 40,000,000 bushels less than the most radical in the trade will estimate. The weak point in the report is the notoriously inaocurate figures on area. No one in the trade will seriously entertain the proposition that Oklahoma has but 200, 000 acres in wheat this year. The London Times of recent date cays: "The prospect of the harvest in Eastern Europe are disquieting indeed. In Austria and Hungary and along the whole line of the , Danube the harvest will be bad. Immense tracts of corn fields in Servia, Bulgaria and Roumania have been laid under water by destruc tive floods, and what water has spared, rust has greatly injured. So bad, in deed, is the prospect that Anstria and Hungary, instead of exporting wheat will have to import it. At any rate it is cigar that . the wheat supply from the Danube is likely to be exceedingly Brail, if not altogether wanting this season. ., . - - ' Portland Markets.

' ENTERPRISES OF GREAT PITH AND MOMENT . " Have, crc now, had their currents "turned awry," as Hamlet says, by an attack of dys pepsia.

We are asserting in the courts our right to the exclusive use of the word " CASTORIA," and " PITCHER'S CASTORIA," as our Trade Mark. I, Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Hyannis, Massachusetts, was theoriginator of " PITCHER'S CASTORIA," the same that has borne and does now bear the facsimile signature of CHAS. H. FLETCHER on every wrapper. This is the original ' ' PITCHER'S CASTORIA " which has been used in the homes of the mothers of America for over thirty years. Look Carefully at the wrapper and see that it is the -kind you have always bought, and has the signature of CHAS. H. FLETCHER on the wrapper.

The lord mayor of London is entitled to wear an earl'i robe whenever a crowned head visits the city. The pres ent lord mayor had such a robe made for use at the recent jubilee festivities which cost him 500. A little thing happened down at the h'tme of Schilling's Best tea the other day that cost the 'firm a clean $200, md the most interesting feature of the matter is that they could have got out of paying it if they wanted to because it was a voluntary thing and no one expected them to do it. ; ' ' " It seems that, in the earlier part of the missing word contest, A. Schilling & Co. promised $100 each to the two persons who sent in the largest number of Schilling's Best yellow tickets before June 15. . It seems fair that the consumers of the tea should get those ' prizes. A "grocer has a better opportunity for col lecting tickets; and then, too, he makes a profit on the tea. But two grocers won the prizes, and A. Schilling & Co. paid the money. Now comes the funny part they wanted consumers to get $200, and were determined they should. ; So they paid another $200 to the two consumers who had sent in the two largest numbers of tickets. - , That is handsome, to say the least. ,' 1 , ' " A Botanical Clock. Among the botanical curiosities whioh have been found in the isthmus of Tehuantepec, lately much explored by naturalists, is a botanical clock. It is a flower which in the morning is white, at noon is red, and at night blue, and the alterations of color are so regular that the time of day can be told from the tint of the flower. 5 It is well known that continued dark ness has caused the vision of animals to become partially destroyed. - HOITT'S SCHOOL.

The working ol amber in Prussia is a monopoly in the hands of a firm which owns the two best mines, the Palmniok en and Kraxtepelle. For the. concession it has, according to a report from ' the British consul at Dantzig, to pay to the German, government a royalty of 650, 000 marks a year. It is reckoned, says the London News', that this firm has, np to now, paid no less than $1,000, 000 in royalties to the German govern ment. In addition to the output from the mines in 1895, a good deal of amber was picked up on the beach at the Pil-. lag, in the province of East Prussia, being washed up with the seawood dur ing the prevalence of northwesterly gales. The shore at Pillau after a storm is sometimes covered ' with a layer of seaweed three feet thick,, among which the amber is found entangled. . Men, women, and children find easy and lu crative employment in searching for the amber along this part of the amher coast. The people engaged in this pre carious work, often earn $6 a day or more. In 1895 about 100 tons of raw amber came to Dantzig to be worked up, as compared with 140 tons in 1894. It is nearly all melted to make lac and varnish. The larger pieces are also made into beads,: which are sent all over the world. ' jThe beads known to the trade as the Leghorn corals, are in strong demand. . . . ; Russian Railroads. , , .
