WEEKLY MARKET . LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins A Company's Review
of Trade.
The important factor in wheat last
week was the large foreign demand.
A lesser influence was the appearanoe
of the July bulls as large buyers of the
September. ..
The general view of the trade is .that
the situation is favorable for compara
tively high prices. The fact that the
market has had within a fortnight an
advance of 10c per bushel, and that the
new crop movement has not fairly
started to keep, however, an influential
party in the field. As to the final out
come of the situation, it is remarkable
how close speculators are together.
Their differences are hardly more than
as to the time for an advance and its
extent.
Eeoeipts of new wheat at Chicago are
away under last year's. The big Kan
sas orop shows in the arriavls at Kansas
City, which, without being so very
large, are a good deal over 12 months
ago, yet the foreigners have taken all
of this Kansas wheat they could get.
None of it is moving toward Chicago,
unless it is to go through to the other
side. . The small receipts are more sig
nificant because July is 4c over Septem
ber, an incentive to rush the grain here.
Furthermore, Chicago July is lr and
1 c over St. Louis, Toledo or Detroit.
The completed crop movement last year
developed that the 1896 winter wheat
yield was very much less than anybody
had assumed it to be. With July al
most ended the receipts this year at
Chicago are vastly less than last, the
week's shipments exceeding the ar
rivals. Our visible supply showed an in
crease of 1,782,000 bushels, and now
totals 17,814,000 bushels, against 46,
754,000 bushels a year ago this time. ,
The foreigners took freight room in
two days last week for as much wheat
as will be received at all the primary
markets in a fortnight. It is certainly
nothing against the market that there
is a clever active bull interest jn it
LThis has made it somewhat uncom
fortable for the professional short
selleis. These latter have found out
that there was somebody to meet their
raids. The long line has not, however,
been large enough to be threatening,
and the tactics have at no time been
offensive. It looks as if the July would
go out at a moderate premium over the
September, and as if the campaign
would be continued through September.

BRAVE "TIGE.1
tlog Save Hia Helpless blaster from
a Terrible Death.
Tige Is only a dog, and a "yaller dog'
at that, but hia mixed breed has given
him a shaggy coat and a bushy tail,
and nature has given him a deal more
.sense than the man who owns him
stands possessed of, says the Temple
(Tex.) correspondent of the Pblladl
pbla Times.
Tlge's .master is a rancher, so-called
who lives on a rocky little place south
of Temple, and who yesterday came to
town bringing a bale of cotton on his
rickety wagon. , After disposing of the
cotton the good-for-nothing fellow
straightway proceeded to drink up the
proceeds, and before the day was far
spent he and his money were pretty far
gone.
Toward evening he climbed into the
wagon, perhaps with an idea of goinj
home, as he unhitched his shaggy
ponies from the post In front of the
grocery where they had been standing
all day without a bite of food or a
drink of water, and only Tige curled
up under the wagon to keep them com
pany. But, having gotten Into the wag
on, the man was overcome by a "jag,"
and fell down on the floor and went to
sleep. - .
Meantime, the poor, starved ponies
began grazing about, picking a wisp of
green here and there, till presently -they
got out on the edge of the town, and
had climled up the three feet of rail-
ixnd embankment, dragging the wagon
after them and nipping the grass be
tween the cross ties. In the midst of
this state of things the' northbound
trajn came around the curve, bearing
straight down upon the wacon. The
engineer blew hie whistle, but the man
in the wagon was too far gone to hear.
A Mexican tamale vender some distance
off saw the danger and ran down the
embankment whistling to the horses,
but they were too hungry to 'heed so
slight a warning.
; But there was Tige, the dog, the
ponies' faithful friend. Realizing the
danger on the instant, Tige bounded
up the embankment and beigan barking
and biting at the horses' heels with
such persistence that they in turn set
to kicking and backing down upon him,
all the time getting farther and farther
out of harm's way, till, just as the train
sped by, they had gotten , themselves
and their sleeping master out of th
path of its destruction. .
A FAMOUS WRITER.
Mrs. Margaret Ollphant Woa, One of
the frolinc Novelists of the Day.
The death of Mrs. Margaret Oliphant,
which occurred In England not long
since, has removed one of the most
prolific and versatile writers of mod
ern times. Ever since her first novel
was published, when she was 21, she
has had a place in the hearts of a very
large class of readers. She was an
exceedingly rapid writer, turning out
with great regularity a three-volume
novel every year. She published over
forty works of fiction In addition to
numerous biographical and historical
works. Beside, she was a frequent
contributor to the periodicals and was
the editor of a series, Foreign Classics
for English Readers.
Mrs. Oliphant was 70 years old when
she died and was born In Midlothian,
England. Her maiden name was Wil
son. ' , ' ' " ' -
',- Oivlnjr Away Brides.
Among the novel means by which
some people of London subsist is that
of giving away brides at the altar. The
custom lias grown to considerable pro
portions of late, and a member of a
firm of fashionable costumers, In speak
ing of it recently, said: "You, of
course, recognize the fact that In this
great city are scores of hard-working
girls who are miles away from their
relations and who have' always been
too busy to cultivate many friends.
Well, when these girls are about to
marry young fellows who are similar-'
ly circumstanced the question arises as
to who shall give away the bride.
"I can answer that question for them
at once, for I have connected with my
business an ex-major In the army, a
member of . an ancient family and a
man, too, of unimpeachable character.
He Is poor, but he dresses well, has
beautiful white hair and , looks the
kindly father to perfection.' I intro
duce him to the bride and bridegroom,
and he, for a moderate fee, gives the
former away. Sometimes he takes the
whole arrangements of a breakfast and
so on upon himself, and he is a fine
speaker on occasion. He is always a
welcome guest with these people after
ward." When a young woman has been re
quested to break the news of a death
to a friend, she feels that she has
reached the supreme pinnacle as a com
forter, There is a vast difference between
being able to say prayers that sound
fine, and having a broken and contrite-heart

The argument for the existence ot
God from the uniformity of nature is
not a new one, but It Is nowhere more
cleverly put than in an anecdote of
Gallant, related by L'lllustratlon Eu
ropeenne (Brussels, March 21). It
says:
"To those who see In the existence of
the world the effect of chance, a cu
rious argument was opposed by Gall
ant., 'One day,' said he 'at Naples, a
man took six dice in a dice-box and bet
that he would throw six sixes. He suc
ceeded at the first throw.. I said to my
self, 'Such a thing is possible.' He did
it a second time; I said the same thing.
He put the dice back ; Into the box
three, four, five times, and always
threw six sixes. 'Sangue di Bacco!' I
cried, 'the dice are loaded!' And so
they were. ' ' '
"Philosophers! when I consider the
ever-renewed order of nature, her im
mutable laws, her revolutions, always
constant In an infinite variety, this sin
gle chance of a world such as we see
It, returning unceasingly notwithstand

possible perturbation and destruction,

to give thanks when a waiter flew up,

Father and son gave their orders and
the former again bowed his head. The
young man turned the color of a blood

'Father, It isn'tcustomary to do that

"It's customary with me to return

The Charleston News and Courier
thus explains the origin of South Car
olina's sobriquet, "the Palmetto State:"
"On June 28, 1776, a force of less than
100 Carolinians, under command of
Moultrie, protected by the rude for
tification on Sullivan's Island, in
Charleston harbor, made of the trunks
of the palmetto, repulsed the attacks of
a British fleet under command of Sir
Peter Parker, and when the State of
Sooth Carolliia was organized, the
State seal, which was first used in
May, 1777, was made to commemorate
this victory. A palm 'tree, growing
erect on the seashore, represents the
strength of the fort, wihtle at Us base
an oak tree, torn from the ground and -deprived
of its , branches, recalls the
British fleet, built of oak timber, over
