Chicago, July 16.—The wneat market opened decidedly weak and unsettled to-day. The talk in the pit centered on about 12,000.000 bushels of old wheat in elevators here, and the country being on the verge of harvesting a crop of un known dimensions, but certainly one the largest ever known, etc. August started at 7034°. and almost immediately sold off to 70J4c, but later it reacted to 70%c. There were no further de velopments to sustain advances, and the market became dull. August reacted to 7036 c, closing at that figure. Corn opened firmer, and was vigorously bulled on the strength of the drought and large short interest in August option. Au gust started at 37%c, and quickly sold up to 37%c before noon. The shorts got pretty well filled up, and from 47%c August went back to 37)4e. and stayed there or thereabout with a good deal of persistency. While August was making its advance of 3%c, September oDly moved %c, proving pretty conclusively that there was “short” demand for August. August closed at 3736 c. Oats were dull, traders ap parently taking little interest in the market. The feeling was also inclined to be weaker. August started at 26c, and sold off to 253fic. Less interest was manifested in the provision market and trading was lighter than it has been during the previous days of the week. The market opened rather tame, with some desire on the part of “longs” to realize, and prices declined to inside figures. Later rather more steadiness prevailed, and prices rallied again and closed at outside figures. August lard opened at $8 70, sold off to $6 67%, and closed at $6 70. August short ribs started at $8 15, sold down to SB, and closed at opening figures. Cash quotations to-day ruled as follow-s: Flour dull and unchanged.

The Yachting Pillow and Bedspreads in White Satin. New York, July Ift.—The very latest for young ladies, fancy work is to make yacht ing pillows for the gentlemen of their ac quaintance who happen to own yachts. Every who has ever “sailed o’er the blue water” knows how necessary to comfort are sofa pillows in the cabin; every one wishes to doze or 101 l about, and pillows are in de mand; there can’t be too many of them. The pillow exclusively for yachts is covered with navy blue sateen that is laoed onto the pillow on either side by a white <-ord and tassel. This gives it a nautical ap|ienrance at once. Have a design of the yacht stamped ono side of the blue covering, and work in outline stitch with white silk. ,On the re verse side have the name of the yacht stamped in large letters in old English text, and also work with white silk in outline stitch. They are very pretty, easily done, and a most, appropriate present. If one desires to give still more, an ensign flag to match is attractive, with the initials of the owner worked upon the blue Held as well as the name of the yacht. The latest in liedspreads is white satin with arabesques stamped all over the sur face, or else a vine, both to be done in out line stitch with gold colored silk; a white satin bolster should have the initials of the owner similarly worked. The bedspreads are also made in other pale colors, but. the white or pale green are prettiest. Tno latter give a cool appearance. The coverlids are also made of fine linen, with vine in outline stitch around the edge and a medallion in the centre; they are all beautiful and may be varied to suit the owner. A tablecloth of fine linen, with each of the damask figures outlined in different, colored silks, makes a very beautiful spread for a country house, with window curtains to match. One of the newest feminine fancies is jeweled hat pins; they are an expensive luxury and only suitable for evening hats. Amber is very fashionable for articles of toilet, since the rage for white mid yellow came in; amber-handled glove nud boot fasteners, amber puff boxes, ring cases, etc. Amber beads are much worn. At a lawn party the other day devili>d clams in their own shells wereerved. After the edible portion was consumed the shell was found to be embellished with the mono gram of the hostess. Ladies are painting the tiles for the fire places of their country houses. A pretty de sign is the story of ‘ Puss in Boots,’’ or “"Dick Whittington aiid His Cat.’’ Usually these titles illustrate a story, and those of English origin, that have been familiar from child hood, are the favorites. Evelyn Baker Harvier. A RISING LIGHT IN JOURNALISM. A Young Editor Who is Making Hia Way in the World. New York, July 16. —Paul Dana strides up Broadway any afternoon in the style of his father, with a motion that is sweeping, rapid and full of force and decision. Paul Dana, the only son of the renowned editor of the Nun, lias held the chair of editor-in-chief during the summer, while his father was enjoying a merry time abroad. He is by far the young est editor in control of any of the leading dailies of the city at this time, being still in his twenties, and being full of the spring of youth. He has come to the editorial chair drilled and equipped in a way that, no other editor hi this city can boast of. He is more than a scholar in the ordinary sense of the word. After passing through Harvard he took a full course in law in this city; he then traveled in Europe under the most advantageous circumstances; ho was next put in training under his father for service on tho press. In all kinds of sports he is an expert, and in some of the most strenuous of them he is a practitioner. In music he is more than an amateur. His aptitude for politics came by inheritance, lie has enjoyed the best social advantages in the most cultured circles of society. Withal, he has exceptional gifts of mind, which especially qualify him for the duties of an editor; and he has acquired, within a few years, a clear, nervous and strong style of writing. Courteous, amiable and gener ous, never lacking in self-possession or self command, the young editor enjoys opportu nities of self-advancement in his chosen pro fession such as have been given to no one else of his peers in New York. Paul Dana has a compact head, clear-cut features and a well-knit frame j he is tall and lithe; he has a constitution which, with his good habits, ought to carry him safely through the first third of the t wentieth cen tury. He is always dressed nattily, in the very latest fashion, and you can see that he keeps himself in prime order, as one accus tomed to the best in the world. As lie strides down Broadway in the morning or up in the afternoon during these dog days one who does not know him would lie un likely to suspect his power while holdingthe chair of the Sun's editor.
