GRAIN LETTER, By Special Wire to Lyon A James. Chicago, Dec! 18.—The news today has been rather bearish. Cables came in about as expected. Bradstreet's visible was bearish. The market opened Inactive. The transactions were principally of a local nature and the market remained in a dull, stagnant condition throughout. Ac cording to Bradstreet, wheat east of the Rockies increased 2,006,000 bushels; west of the Rockies it dereased 90,000 bushels, making the total <a valuable increase east and west increase 1,916,000. Receipts at primary points, which Is becoming a fac tor, aggregate 390,000 bushels, against 356., 000 bushels last year, and as the main part cf those receipts goes to Minneapo lis and Duluth, whero prices have ruled strong at an advance of *4 to 1 cent, the effect of which was seen In this market. The clearances equal 254,000 bushels flour and wheat. Oppressive dullness has been the feature in corn, which has ruled at slightly lower figures, mainly on local receipts, which today exceeded expectations by flfty-six cars, and the lower cables, coupled with Bradstreet’s Increase of 1,075,000 bushels east of the Rockies. Speculation, how- er, is very limited and the range was ■con fined to of a cent. Hog product was steady with prices ruling 10 cents lower at the yard../ Spec ulative futures were weak, though very little change has taken place in price. Provisions were no exception to ‘the rulo and dullness prevailed the entire day. Iamson Bros. A Co. PORT receipts. Saturday Monday Tuesday Wednesday.. Thursday....

Chicago, Dec. 18.—In the strength of the Northwestern markets, where an ad vance of Vi of a cent from yesterday ruled most of the day and gradually di minished primary receipts, wheat in Chi cago found Important relief today. With in a half hour of the close Ream became a notable seller, presumably of long wheat and prices showed the maximum of the session’s weakness while that pressure was on the market. May wheat opened from BftaBSH, sold between 58*4 and 58ft, closing at 58ft—ftaft of a cent under yes terday. Cash wheat was weak and ft a cent per bushel lower. Corn had none.of the elements of firm ness in the trade today. Business was quiet, but the tendency was #3wer. May corn opened from 49*4 to 49ftaft, sold be tween 49fta% and 49*4, closing at 49fta%— V4 or a cent lower tha nyesterday. Cash corn was weak and ft a cent tyer bushel lower. The receipts of oats severe thlrty-flve cars less than estimated, and prices for that grain displayed some independent firmness at and around the opening, due to that fact. The weakness of wheat and corn affected the market later and a frac tional recession too^ place. Business was dull and unattractive. May oats were ft to Vi of a cent under yesterday. Cash oats declined Vi of a bent per bushel to day. Provisions.—After opening with a de cline corresponding to the loss in prices of live hogs at the yards, products set tled Into a condition of Inactivity today, comparative slowness ruling at 1 the de cline. There was nothing to the trade worthy of especial notice. The close wns 5 cents under yesterday for January pork, 2fta5 cents lower for January lard and 2ft cents lowe for January ribs.

STEVENS’ COTTON LETTER. By Special Wire to Lyon A James. New York, Dec. 18.—It was a narrow market without decided change. 'A de cided incline In view of tbe large receipts would have been natural. The close was quiet and steady, with sales of 69.000 It is now very largely a holiday market. Liverpool will shortly close for the Christ mas holidays and the cotton market with out Liverpool is like Hamlet with the ghost left out. Another thing that made operators cautious was the disposition to await the result of the auction sole of 27.000 packages of cotton goods tomorrow. This is the largest sale in the history of the dry goods trade. No material. If any improvement, in cotton goods prices Is expected. Liverpool declined 14M on the spot with sales of 10,<W0 bales added to the sales of yesterday. Futures de clined l point and closed quiet. In Man chester, yarns were In buyers’ favor and cloths were in moderate demand. New Orleans expects tomorrow 12,000 to 14.000 bales, against 17.S07 last year. The port receipts were 62.614. against 57,000 this day last week and 64.6CS last year. Thu* far this week. 190.732. against 166.894 last week.

The Human Electrical Forces i How They Control the Organs of the Body. The electrical torct of the humm body, m 6he nerve fluid may bo termed, I» an espe cially attractive department of •clOQca.aalfc exertaao marked an Influence on the health of the organs of th# body. Merte force Is produced by the brain and conveyed by means of tbo nerves to tbs various organs of the body, thussupplying the lattar with tbs vitality necessary to In- sure their health. The pncurnogastrlc nerve, as shown hen*, may be said to lx* the most important of the entire nervo sys tem. as it supplies the heart, lungs, stomach, bowel**, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy.

My companion was • specu lator on tho bourse, a man with exhaust- ivo knowledge of the boulevards. As we wore waiting for an order to bo placed be fore ua I casually scrutinized the apart ment. Behind us wns a largo mirror, and written upon It with a diamond ring was the word 41 Julie." Puffing at a cigarette, involuntarily oamo a feeling of curiosity. Who was. Julie? That word was written In an attraotlvo femlnlno hand. In wliat particular field of Bohemia had she moved? The cafo was frequented almost exclusive ly by painters, sculptors, musicians and monitors of tho theatrical profession whoso names wore familiar to tho publlo. I called tho attention of my companion to tho Inscription and asked him who Julie was, but ho replied that tho indy bad flour lshcd before his time, since bo had soon tho writing on tho mirror when, SO years bol'oro, ho lmd first como to Paris. The waltor plaood before us nn appetizing re past, and my friend, In the diverting man ner of his countrymen, launched forth with an Interesting criticism of current topics whilo wo enjoyed tho good fare for which tlio proprietor of tho place was famed. Tho next day I took n trip up tho Seine and stopped for dinner nt a little eating Jiouso which, from tlino immemorial, had boon a rendezvous of artists. Tho rosy oheckod waiter placed a small bottlo of wine before mo on if tablo, in which were carved as many Jotters as though tho place were a resort for college students. There were many famous names engrossed there, and tho proprietor pointed to them with prldo, recalling tho tlmo when these art ists wore unknown and lod tho htippy, careless life of bohemians, who had cop per Instead of silver and gold jingling in tholr pockets. Suddenly my attention wns called to a word carved thoro—“Julie.’ 4 “Who Is Julie?" I asked. Tho proprietor replied that tho nnmo wns placed there by un artist, now re nowned, and led mo to a room whero mnny rough pencil sketohes wore framed. This colloctlon ho prized highly, as well bo might, for there In caricature and other wise wore soon tho faces of mon and wom en who had can sod a furore not only in Paris, but throughout tho world of art. Among them was tho portrait of a girl, vivacious and charming. I fixed her fea tures in my mind. Such wns tho second stop In delving into a bit of tbo past in Bohemia. This delightful girl appeared in a now role soon. I was looking over some old canvnsos In a junkshopwhen, lo and be hold, I camo across what was undoubtedly nn unfinished Coutier. Moreover, tho faco wns that of Julio. Tho master had painted her In tho garb of a peasant, or porhaps ho had mot her before she came to Paris and only painted a bit of nature. She was alone in tho fields, and the majesty of tho poso and tho remarkable grace and strength of tho figure were qulto charac teristic of tho grout artist. Julio in the fields whs very different from'Jullo in the boulovards. Around |)er was the quiet of ovontido. In tho distance wns tho outline of a house which was tho dwelling of a peasant. Here, however, was a cuo, and I asked many French painters whom I had met incidentally if they had ever seen the original of my painting, for I purchased the sketch from tho proprietor of tlio shop for a mere nothing. But many of tho old artist’s pupils could not recall tbo faco of tho girl. Purely out of ourloslty I largely pursued tho Investigation just to see how easily a queen of Bohemia may bo by tho world forgotten and pass out of sight alto gether. Besides, here, I thought, was tho oppor tunity for a little roruancc—tbe life of Julfo, whoso name was carrlod from one generation to another in these resorts of talented people, '(sometimes in studying tho works of art of an opoch of painting one face may to seen Appearing and reap pearing, tho features of soino favorite like Julio, who might havo charmed Titian and his frlonds or Ituphuel and his dlsolples. Everywhere wo turn In tho old galleries this memory of the pa«t confronts us. Now it is a Madonnn, then a Magdalene, but tho observer knows It Is a real person, or ono who has lived, who looks out from all these canvases, and be wonders what talcs of Bohemia in thoso golden days of art might bo unfolded if those lips oould speak. Bo in many places glimpses of Julio were seen. A charming statuette re vealed her In vlvaoious mood. Bhe was ono of the figures In a ballroom soeno. Upon a celebrated monument an unmis takable likeness to her feature# looked down benignly. Her personality seemed to be thoroughly Imbedded in tbe art of Paris. ’ One day wbilo In a large gallery I dis covered a grewsome scene at the morgue —a young girl lying upon the marble slab. It was a magnificent work, but startling in its realism, and yet It belonged to that perlodjof French art vrhvn realism was in Its infaucy. But a chill went through me when I recognized tho features of tbe young girl who figured so prominently In tho art of the day. Waa this the Julie of whom De Musset sang or several promi nent novelists wrote—not dlsaected, for they did not dissect people In a literary manner in thoso refreshing days? The at tendant at the museum told his little story about the picture and tbe painter. “It was painted from life,"hesaid. “It was an actual episode.’ 4 “Who was she?" “We don’t know that." One day while strolling through one of the pretty cemeteries I came to a grave marked by a plain stone. “Julie," it said. “Who showas Is known to her friends. When the died will to remem torn! by them. When she was born we do not know. Kusbrined in tbs heart# of poets, artists and sculptors arc written her vir tues. What does It matter to others?" And that was as far as I ever went In my investigation.*—Detroit Free Press. CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER BOURJOHN. SlARRY BOURJOHN. With a Liberal Handicap He Defeated Georgs W. Orton In Philadelphia. Philadelphia possesses a very talented young cross country runner in the person of Harry J. Bourjohn, who won tbo sixth Thanksgiving day cross country run at Falrmount park rooently un der tho auspices of the Caledonian club. Bourjohn, who is a member of tbe Amerloaii Rowing olub, was . conceded a start *’ t of 6 minutes and \ 16 soconds. Ho ran over tho course of 6 18-83 miles in 88 mln- utes, actual tlmo. Cloorgo W. Orton of tho University ol Pennsylvania, who started from scratch, finished fourth, but ran the distance In 37 minutes 50 seconds. There is no Authentic world's record for this dlstanco over a rough cross country, but In comparison with records made nt n similar distance on a fiat track Orton’s tlmo now bopomca n world’s rooord. Tho race was run ovor a regular cham pionship coursu from Bolinont Mansion to and around tho Lincoln monument und return. Bourjohn, tho winner of the % race, who was tho limit runner among the starters, is a lad 17 years of ago and with but Uttlo experience at long dlstanco run ning. IIo led tho Hold along tho ontlre course and finished strong and apparently within tho limit of bis powors. Orton made u desperate effort to overtake the handicap men. but was unable to catoh either Bourjohn, Mitchell or Robertson, who Qnlshod within hailing dlstanco of him. Tho raco was an annual ovont in Phila delphia from 1887 to 1893. but In 1803 and 1808 it wns dropped. The revival of tho ovent shows that atlilotcs are again turning tholr attention to cross country running. Orton, tho scratch man In tho recent raoe, Is ono of tho best known run- nors in America. Turf Queens For Half a Century. From tho tlino old Lady Suffolk first bent 3:80 to lmrnogs ovor tho Beacon course at Hoboken, N. J., In 1845, ths world's trotting record bus boon oquulcd or reduced 85 times by 14 dlfforont trot ters. Tho advance 1ms boon steady anil gradual in tho main and bIiows that on tho ovorago about five seconds murks tht progress of each decade. Tho tost trot ting record by mares as It stood nt tlio end of each dot-ado from 1845 to 1894 Is: 1815, Lady Suffolk, 3:30%; 1835, Highland Maid, 3:37; 1805, Flbra Temple. 3:10%; 1875, Goldsmith Maid, 3:14; 1885, Maud S, 3:08y K \ 1894, Alix, 3:03&. It Is per haps peculiar that so mnny of tho records should havo toon held by marcs, says Tlio Horseman, and it Is a fact that nil tho greatest honors of the turf have belonged to mares or unsoxed horses. No stallion has ovor yet hold tho trotting record. XMAS IS NEARLY HERE-A look at the beautiful holiday goods at H. J.
