He, however, does not pro claim liis charity from the housetop, and tew men. perhaps, do more good in a quiet way and come nearer the true ideal of a Christian gentleman than he. His business success has in no wise turned his head, for he is ap proachable by all, and never turns a deaf ear to any deserving call. Few men occupy a more enviable positieu or display more activity or business siirewdness than Mr. Zimmeitß; i .a. A ST. PAUL >lAX. Mr J. H. Ramaley, of the Popular Job Printing Firm, li.

Cables were lower and tending down. Still there was a feverish and uncertain feeling noted with wide fine minions. Tne opening was lower and sales lc or so uudur the closing of Friday. This was the closing day of the wc-ek, aud as such there was the ur oal disposition to avoid car rying opeu trades of large lines into the next week. The fluctuations are largely the result of the uncertain position abroad. Sensational reports were out in the usual number. After the early decline there was some firmness, with quick rise, and then more of the usual late unsteadiness. There were claims ihnt the Russian crops were turning out better than expected, and on the other hand that the rece:«t unsettled weather in Europe had put crops out of condition lor present use where harvesting has been done. The threshing reports In the Northwest were favorable as to yield and quality. December wheat opened at gl.OO^i, and St. Louis Produce. St. Loris. Aug. 22. — Flour firm, but quiet and unchanged.

ALL QUIET IN THE PITS Speculative Markets in Chi cago Were Dull and Un interesting*. A Feeling- of Weakness Re places the Late Feverish Condition. Corn Scores a Drop of Two Cents— Spot Rye in De mand. Fractional Gains on an In herently Strong- Market in Wall Street. - Chicago, Aug. 22.— feverish condition which has characterized the markets on the board during the past week is gradually abat ing. It was a quiet day in the pits, and the speculative markets were rather dull and un interesting with the single exception of corn, which scored a drop of 2c from September. A feeling of much weakness pervaded the wheat pit at the start, December selling %c under last night's close. The early cables showed Liverpool l©lV2d lower, and New York also opened weak. The first trading wasSl.o4i't.@l.o434 for December, with a light business at §1.05. But there were free out side selling orders, New York being liberally represented on that side, and the local scalp ing crowd, seeing the trend of the market, also sold, some throwing over long wheat and some putting out a short line. After the first half hour, however, mainly on report of bad weather in England and on the continent, the market crew stronger. The demand became better and the offerings more liberal. Several private wire houses got generous buying orders from New York December sold up gradually to 81.05% and at 10:45 wasabout $1.05%. A quick drop to Sl.O-JU followed, but without much busi ness at that figure. The market later on re covered somewhat, and the price hung for a considerable time around $1.04** and ?!.04,ft, when belter cables, wet weather abroad, tne large exports for the week reported by Brad street's and the fairly liberal clearances from Atlantic ports yesterday turned the feeling rather strong. shorts began to buy back on reflection what they had previously sold on impulse, and there was a gradual apprecia tion to $1.05%, reacted to $1.04% and closed at 'SI it.-). Late dispatches indicated frosts in the Northwest for to-night. Corn was irregular at the start, the feeling was weak, with free offerings both in the way of unloading and short selling, and as no one appeared to support the market there was a steady drop from 04V»@t>4%c fur September to 63% c. Receivers were gen erally free sellers for September, against prospective consignments. The inquiry for cars and letters from the interior, together with the tine prospects for growing crops, all tend to raise expectations of heavy re ceipts in the near future. On the decline there was good buying, partly by shorts who had a good profit In sight and partly by operators who sold August and bought September, and there was a gradual rally to tine early, oil to 63% c, and at 12 o'clock wr.s B£%. October was traded ill very freely at til @ i <•. There is little talk of the clique now and the belief is growing that the September re ceipts will be all or more than they can take care of. The weakest feature during the latter part of the session was the heavy re ceipts estimated for Monday at 725 cars. Heavy receipts made the oats market very weak"at the opening, when prices were &»<$ s,fcc below last night's close. A decline of VsC occurred immediately, selling orders being numerous. A firm market and good demand for cash oats imparted a stronger tone to the market, and prices advanced 3,:.@1%c. react ing %@%c just before the close, making last prices V>@V2C lower than those that prevailed at the same time yesterday. Keceipts were enormous— 4ll cars. Spot rye was in good demand. No. 2 in store sold at 94@05<AC and closed at the top. September Bold at <K©vlsc and October at 95c. The provision market was dull and heavy with the trade for the most part confined to local seal ping operations. September pork opened at {10.10, with some sales at the same time at 510.071,2. There was a slight rally to $10.15 and the closing price was SIO.I-V2, compared with $10.20 yesterday. October followed a similar course, closing at 510.27J/2. January declined 15c.

Dult-th, Aug. 22.— There was a weak opening in the wheat market to-day, there being a falling off in December of "i' 2 e, but first sales in September No. 1 northern were at Uc advance. This, however, was soon lost. The first cars of new wheat arrived yesterday and to-day, eighteen ears being re ceived up to date, all from Dwight. N. D. The new wheat graded No.l hard all around, and sold at gl.fWijc. It is very clean wheat, but not so very plump. The early weak ness was caused by easier cables. There was very little trading done all day, and the close was dull, weak and irreg ular, cash dropping V2C, August No. 1 hard •remaining the same as yesterday, August No, 1 northern going up V2C, and September wheat losing Vie.

Aug. 22.— The stock market to-day again showed its inherent strength, and in the face of unfavorable advices from the corn belt, unfavorable bank statement and persistent hammering by the advocates of lower prices, held its own, and finally closed with a majority of the list fractionally higher man last evening. The market opened under pressure to sell for the foreign; account, but first prices were irregularly changed from last night's figures, with no material difference in any one stock. Notwithstanding the pressure from the -traders and the selling of foreign houses, prices immediately developed strength and, with Northern Pacific preferred and Union Pacific leading, fractional gains were made all along the line of railroad shares, the im provement in the two stocks mentioned be ing % per cent. Cordage, however, showed again some of its peculiar strength and rosa 1% per cent. News of frost in the corn belt, however, then gave the traders and sold-out bulls their opportunity to make a demonstra tion against values, and, while no special activity was developed, prices slowly yielded, and before the close nearly all of the eajly improvement had been neutralized. The bank statement was also a factor In the late trading, helping the downward movement by reason of a loss in cash of over $4,000,000, and the depletion of the reserve of $3,500,000. Only in the industrials, how ever, was there any real weakness displayed, and Sugar was dropped 2% per cent from its best prices, while Cordage lost its early gain. Burlington, as was to be expected, was the weakest, of the railroad shares, and fell away 1 per cent from its best figure. The market closed dull but heavy, generally at about opening prices. Railroad bonds were fairly active, but failed to maintain the strong tone which has marked the dealings of late, and while the final changes are generally insig nificant, a few losses are shown from last previous sales. Government bonds have been, dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady.
