business, and to-day’ the trading was only mod

remain prominent in the market The buying
P ow r seems to be checked for the moment,
aid hull loaders are letting the market take
care ot itself apparently, while liquidation
makes some progress from day to day, and the
intermittent attacks of the bears serve to
get tbe prices down slowly. In today's
market Union Pacific was still a prominent ob
ject of attention, and rumors were still thick,
one concerning the application for receiver at
Omaha making the most mischief. The of
ficial denials which followed each one as issued
•eeinwd to have no material effect. hut the stock
was not as weak a> yesterday, and late in the
day interest in iis fluctuation was in great part
transferred toother securities. More pressure
was brought to bear upon grangers, and Bur
lington, and Rock Inland especially" bore the
brunt of the attacks, and at times exibited
considerable weakness. The general list was
very quiet and extreme fluctuations in but few
cases reached 1 per cent., while stocks followed
languidly the course of the leaders without get

New York, Sept. 3.—The Sun's cotton
report says: “Futures opened at 3to 4 points
decline, quickly rallied, became buoyant, clos
ing firm at 19 to 21 points advance from yester
day’s closingtclosing (rices. The bulls had a grand
time of it to-day. a weak opening, in sympathy
with an easier Liverpool market,was soon turned
to au active and buoyant speculation. January
was the leading month, and during the morning
hour fluctuated between 9.02, aud 9.10 c.
Ti en I>eg*n trouble for the bears. The govern
meut weather map seemed to indicate au un
reasonably low temperature in the northwest,
and that “a cold wave’’ was approaching the
cotton region. This meant that it was feared
there would be another series of unfavorable
crop accounts, against which the bears could
bring nothing to counteract its influence abroad.
“Quick jumps to 9.14 c was the first effect.”
then apes iod of very unsettled feeling, and fin
ally a steady advance, point by point, until
9 26c was paid. There is an incident of the
dealings. A broker had an order to
sell January at 9.15 c, and at
the same tm9 make stop orders
at 9.15 c. “Why,” said an enthusiastic bull,
“both those orders will be executed to day.”
And so it proved. A small movement of the
crop aided the hulls. The weather reports
. were generally pretty fair, but at some Doints
in tbe .Mississippi vilify the weather was too
low for favorable growth of the plant. Spot
cottoh was i &c dearer.

Chicago, Sept, 3.—Tne wneat market ap
peared to have touched the price oany in the
session t ,-day hdow which the speculative
settlement does not expect to find much profit
iu snort sales, an l it took very little in the way
of additional bull news to cause a lively reac
tion aud put the price 1 cent higher than it
closed yesterday. In spite of very wear:
cablegrams wheat opened at from
V6c lower to higher than it
closed yesterday. Public cablegrams quoted a
decline of from 1 pence to I 1 * pence ot
Liverpool, but private caniesquoted a reduction
ranging ail the way from 2d to 4d per cental
and the weather in England was fine. There
w'ore some rather erratic performances in tbe
privilege crowd yesterday afternoon, the result
of which was the advancing 1 f the price of calls
for to-day from $1 01 % to $1 03. and even higher
it was said, And such an evilence of the ease
with which a Luying panic might be
started was one o? the reasons
why shorts were so unanimously
ready to seize tbe opportunity given to them
at tbe opening this morning buying in their
wheat ai $1 u 0 Outside orders were princi
pally to sell, and local shorts took all such of
ferings. Toe range in price for the first hour
was narrow, not getting below 99%c or above
$1 00Li, and that show or comparative calm be
got more confidence among the local bears, who
r&idol lb e price down to 99 cents.
After Nbme slight recovery a cable ines
sage was jibing that Liverpool
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEFTEMRER 4, 1891.
had advanced higher on renewed wet weather
This immediately set the pit hero in a foment,
during which practically no wheat could be
bought until from around 99i. 4 c<asl OOA* was of
fered. The price advanced to $l before this
buying fevor abated, and as the excitemeut les
sened the price began to dwindle also. The ad
vance had been helped by the heavy clearances,
amounting to 1,000,000 bushels. Then came a
cablegram quoting the continental market
higher In spit* of the fact that
the closing Liverpool quotation was
Id lower. This was thought to look
enormous. Another scramble to buy in short
wheat occurred on the rally wnich followed,
and prices went up in about ten minutes from
around $1 to $1 01%; there was another
quiet and draggy spell, during which the price
worked off again to $! 00**, but the shorts by
this time had become thoroughly demoralized.
It took but a moderate pressure from the bulls
to again shove prices up to Si 01*4 and closed
$1 00*4 Corn opened strong and higher on
private reports of killing frosts in the
west and northwest and fears that this
area of low temreratiire would spread over the
corn belt. Receipts were 125 cars short of esti
mates. The weather map showed slight frosts
to have occurred in portions of lowa and South
Dakota, and killing frosts at Cheyenne, Wyom
ing, and Mooiehead, Minn. Those were influ
ences which brought out buyers
at the opening for October at
from 59V4<&59** cents, compared with 58*q cents
at the close ot the preceding session. The nre
diction of the signal service bureau for to night’s
temperature being that; light frosts would oc
cur in the northern portions of tbe corn belt
in Wisconsin caused further advance, dur
ing which October sold up to 60V6 cents.
The closing prices were within small tractions
of the list of the day, October closing at 69c.
There was little of interest in oats. Price
changes were few and unimportant, fluctuations
for the day amounting to only *4®**>c. Home
products opened very firm, and under'good buy
ing price started up and became stronger and
stronger as the session advanced, the latest
prices being the highest of the day. Pork
closed at an advance of lard 10c, ribu

One Way to Sell Cigars.
A South Illinois street druggist man, says the
Indianapolis Sentinel, worked a novel cigar
selling scheme a few weeks ago in the following
fashion He found a stray nickel on the floor
of bis store one morning and resolved to post
this notice on the window of his store:
“A sum of money found on Tuesday last in
this establishment. Toe owner will receive tho
same within upon describing the money.”
Tho scheme worked li Ice aob arm. Hundreds
of citizens came in daily for over a week, while
the notice was left ou the window, describing
their losses and bewailing their misfortune.
Invariably every applicant for the lost money
bought a cigar. Some were satisfied with
5-cent straight whif.*, but tne* great majority,
anxious to impress tbe drug man favorably
toward their claims, invested in tvm-for-a
3uarter. So great was the rush that the fortunate
ruggist had to order a fr<*sh consignment of
choic brands. None of tb*: applicants ever ap
plied for t:i 5 nickel. All tbe claims ran up into
the hundreds of dollars, one man stating be
missed his bank book with S 1.500.
Robert S. McCormick, r icently au attache
of the American legation in London, resigned
about Aug. 1 in order to assume tbe duties of
special commissioner of the world's fair in
Great Britain. He is now making a brief visit
in Chicago, bis home.
A CURIO OS C * REMO NY.
Royalty Washing the Feat of Berenrs
in Spain.
Farts Cor. Memphis Appeal-Avalanche.
I recall a treat while we were in Madrid
last spring. On Holy Thursday of each
year the regnant sovereign of Spain
washes the feet of twelve beggars gathered
from the streets, in commemoration of our
Lord’s supper and the washing of the disci
ples’ feet. This custom was begun in the
thirteenth eenturv by King Ferdinand, who
was so pious that he was called Bt. Ferdi
nand, and it has been kept up to the present
lay.
I was very anxious to see it, but was told
on arrival in Madrid that it was next to
impossible to get cards for it, tut I got
them through the American consul, who
uad been there two years and hadn’t been
ablo to see it. The ceremony began by a
high mass in the Royal chapel, when the
Queen Regnant, old Queen Isabella, all the
royal in autas and all the Spanish grandees
took part in the mass, which was a nicst
jovons affair. Grand orchestral music,
myriads of caudles, splendidly relied priests
gorgeously colored cardinals, all lending
their quota to the brilliant scene. The
chapel itself, glittering with gold and hung
with splendid tapestries, was a fitting back
ground to all.
After the mass the queen, the archbishop,
priests and deacons, followed by tho in
funtas and grandees, proceeded into the
banqueting hall, where the twelve beggars
were seated all on one side of a narrow deal
table. The queen herself laid the table, and
served them all with meat and drink, after
ward removing the dishes and food and
tablecloth, all this in the most magnificent
of toilets nud fairly blazing with diamonds.
All the splendidly attired infantas, gorge
ously uniformed grandeee, diplomatists,
ambassadors and invited guests standing,
while the tieggars alone remained seated.
The performance is now merely a torm,
as the queen only goes through the somblanco
of washing their feet (their shoes not even
being removed).and the beggars touch noth
ing to eat that the queon serves, but Carry
it off in great hampers to sell each for as
much as S2OO or S3OO.
After they are served the archbishop
biasses each one of the beggars and gives
him a pti'se of gold.
The beggars are chosen for their exem
plary lives, being not taken by chance, and
are brought to the palace early in the morn
ing and washed, shaved anddressod in clean
and whole clothes, and afterward given a
bountiful meal in tho servants’ quarters.
This accounts for them not eating when
the queen serves them, though I suppose
the poor creatures couldn’t got down a
mouthful with the queen and all the august
assemblage standing and watching them.
They are glad enough to be able to take
away wtiat tho queen gives them (the rich
est delicacies, such as are prepared for tho
royal table, with fine wiues), to sell to tho
highest bidder on leaving tho palace. The
purse each recoives contains SIOO.
The palace itself we oouldn’t have seen if
wo hadn’t seen this. Tho dresting and jew
els were perfectly magnificent. The queen
wore many diamonds, bqt the other ladies,
the infautas, wore all sorts of precious
6tones. One had a diadem of emeralds that
were worth a queen’s ransom. The queen
regnant is an Austrian, and one would un
dorstnn 1 what a display there must have
been who had soen the gems at Vienna.
The little king and his sisters, the young
infantas, were not present at tho ceremony,
as they avoid ns much as possible all excite
ment for the young people, and their only
outings are drives in the parks and rambles
in the royal gardens. The little king, who
is a jolly looking little fellow, witn blonde
curls and blue eyes, salutes any one who
bows to him, as do his sisters when they are
out driving. He looks rather delicate, un
fortunately, the poor little man.
In tho general report of the commission in
Prussia in charge of mining matters, which has
recently been published, the commissiore s
state that la their opinion electricity is i-r
fectly safe for mine use, provided care is taken
to see that conductors are properly insulated,
lamps well protected and the current not too
inteuse. A more extensive use of electricity in
mines would be possible were a portable elec
trie lamp devised combining simplicity, dura
tion of power and cheapness.
