CHICAGO, Oct. 26.— Provisions alone
of the speculative market were firm
today from first to last. The grain
markets started firm, but failed ig
nominiously in the end in their bull
ish pretentions. Wheat traders are
afraid of rain before Mon
day. At the close the market was weak
at *4c decline. October and November
corn each lost lc. Oats declined i_c
and provisions average a slight gain.
Wheat averaged firmer and at one
time was Vie higher than it closed
last night, but late in the day it lost
the advance. The early strength was
due to the higher cables and the im
provement in domestic markets with a
goodly number of crop damage reports
from the winter wheat belt. The fact
that Argentine shipped no wheat this
week and exports from both coasts for
the week are 250,000 bushels greater
than the week previous also tended to
give the market a firm turn. Shorts
bought freely for a time, and there
was some investment demand and for
a time firmness was the rule. But the
signal service reported warm and
cloudy weather all over the wheat belt,
with indications of early rain, and the
strength quickly evaporated. Euro
pean dispatches were very pacific, and
if there had been any apprehension of
war it was quickly dissipated by the
peaceful tenor of the news. On this
most of the early buyers turned sellers
and there was generous selling for the
short account, with trade dull and nar
row. This pressure brought on decided
weakness and prices soon went off
nearly %c from the opening figures.
December sold early at 61-^c, off gradu
ally to 60M>®G0%c, and closed at 60.ic
bid, May at l"s*4c to 64% cat the close."
Corn suffered from the collapse of
the little bubble which was blown up in
the October delivery. That future and
its sympathetic neighbor, November,
each dropped l*/8c per bushel and they
both closed at a net loss for the day of
lc. December participated to the ex
tent of %c in the day's weakness and
May at the end of the session was __c
lower than it was at the close yester
day. The Liverpool market is called
very weak for corn. Argentine ship
ments, 800,000 bushels this week.
Oats were quiet and firm early, but
declined later and closed easier. Fluc
tuations were almost entirely in sym
pathy with wheat and corn. May
ranged from 209_@Se"4c, the final quo
tation being 20% c hid. . '
Provisions ope « a shade higher r
than they closed yesterday and remain
ed firm throughout, but trading was
of a limited character. Schwartz-Du
pee bought on the call 2,500 barrels of
December pork at $1 under the price of
January. October ribs, which have
been bringing more money than Jan
uary, sold at a discount today. Com
pared with yesterday's closing quota
tions pork and lard for January are
each 2%c higher, and ribs are 2}_c
lower. ...
Estimates— Wheat, 480 cars; corn,
470: oats, 290, hogs, 38,000 head.

Duluth Holds Up Saturday Prices ]
for Wheat. .. d' o j
Drouth talk in the winter wheat I
country to offset the large receipts in 1
the Northwest again Saturday held the
price of wheat steady. No other feat- '
ure was developed than that the crop
situation in the winter wheat country •
is critical. But on account of the !
heavy receipts on hand and the num- ■
ber of cars expected to be on track <
Monday, with stocks here showing tip
wards of a million and a half increasel'
for the week, together with an ex
pected large Increase In the visible
Monday, . this . crop damage report ,
could do little more than hold the
usual Saturday decline in check. There'
was a good demand for No. 1 northern?
Wheat on spot at 1/_@%c over December
price. Offerings were fairly large
and well taken. Stock to arrive
brought cash price, selling up to 56% c.
N0.2 northern was offered liberally and
taken fairly well at the usual discount
from No. 1 price. Low: grade wheat
was in large supply and easy. . ,-
Following are the closing quotations*

ern, October, 55c; December, 55% c:
May, 59% c; on track, - 55% c; No. .2
northern on track, 53% c. Receipts of
wheat were 751 cars. Shipments of
wheat were 126 cars. Duluth receipts
of wheat were 366 cars. Flour output
for week ending. Oct. 19, 278,000. '- -v

IRREGULAR ACTIVITY.
An Early Drive Turns the Market
Weak und Depresses Prices. -
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.— market to-
day opened with a fair degree of activ
ity, but prices were irregular. An. in-
quiry soon appeared for sugar and the
grangers, which gained substantially
fractions. Lighter advances occurred
in the other market, aside from Illi
nois Steel, which rose 1%, and Mm
neapolis and St. Louis j second pre-
ferred 1 per cent. Near 11 o'clock the
bears made a demonstration on the
industrials, particularly leather and
sugar. The drive was effective and
weakness was also imparted,* though
in a lesser degree to the general railway
list The more extreme losses were in
the leather preferred %, sugar 1%, and
Pacific Mall and Chicago Gas 1% per
cent. The market closed weak at the
lowest prices of the day.
For the week the speculation has
been rather quiet, with a downward
trend. Liquidation- has been clearly
evident in a. number of stocks, particu
larly Manhattan, leather preferred,
Tennessee Coal and sugar. Occa
sional rallies occurred, but . the reac
tion movement was soon resumed.
The causes affecting the market have
been mainly favorable and the failure
to exert an influence has been con-
sidered to Indicate that the leading
manipulators having discounted the en-
couraging factors in the business situ-
ation, are desirous of a lower range
of prices before again taking the bull
side. An important development has
been the joining of hands by all of
the hitherto Contending . interests In
the Northern Pacific property. For
eign exchange, while abating in
strength somewhat, has not reflected
•to thei full .satisfaction of the bulls. '

DECREASE OF LOANS.
Forciarn House* Asking. Too High
Interest for. Money on Time.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.— The Financier
says this week: . "There were no
changes of importance In - the state
ment made by the associated banks
of New York for the week ending Oct
26, the principal features being the
continued decrease in loans and the in
crease of $1,291,800 in specie. As a
large number of banks were below the
required 25 per cent reserve on the pre
vious week the contraction in loans
was to have been expected. There
was some liquidation of loans from
mercantile sources, however. The
loans of the New York city banks at
the close of the current week stood
practically at the same figure reported
on June 1. Orders were received by
several foreign houses to place sums
of money aggregating several million
dollars on time, but as the rate de
manded was too high the funds were
employed on call loans, creating a tem
porary weakness in the market. The
banks showed an actual increase of
$991, in cash holdings during the
week, the loss of $308,000 in legal ten
ders being more than compensated by
the gain of $1,299,800 in specie. The
sudden increase in the latter may be
ascribed as much to local transfers and
the shifting of funds as to any other
cause. The deposits for the past week
show a falling off of $1,270,900, and the
effect of the week's operations has
been to increase the reserve $1,309,525.'
The statement as a whole is not en
couraging and reflects conditions which
appear rather narrow. Bankers can
not believe that the heavy movement
of money is over and a higher rate is
looked for within the next month.
Sterling exchange continues high and
we seem to be at a stage where it
would take but little to turn the tide
either way."

LEAD I|i HIS lilluß.
A CONFEDERATE VETERAN CAR-
A CONFEDERATE VETERAN CAR-
RIES A CANNON MALL IN
HIS LEG.
WAS SHOT AT GETTYSBURG,
AND HAD THE HALL IN HIS LEG
FOR OVER THIRTY-TWO*
YEARS.
IT ALWAYS PAINED HIM
On tin* Rattle's Anniversary — It
Will* Three-Quartern of au
Inch In Diameter.
For over thirty-two years a New
York physician has been carrying a
cannon ball- in his body, and hasn't
minded it a bit. The ball is a canister
shot, two and a quarter inches in
circumference and three-quarters of
an inch in diameter, says the New
York World. It came from a Fed
eral cannon at the battle of Gettys
burg, and lodged below the knee,
where it has remained ever since.
Had not the shot begun to give some
uncomfortable twinges to the wound
ed man's bones it might have con-*!
tinued in its strange tenement indefi- j
nitely.
The victim of the cannon ball is
Dr. James Robie Wood, a well
known physician of New York, and a
member of Northern and Southern
families, the Northern branch of
which produced the famous orator
Wendall Phillips, who was Dr.
Wood's cousin.
At the battle of Gettysburg Dr.
Wood was in the Second Georgia
battalion of Gen. Wright's brigade.
They were the target for Hancock's
artillery, and as Dr. Wood, then an
army surgeon, was at work on the
field aiding the wounded, he was
shot by a minie ball in the left shoul
der. He was shot a second time in
the right shoulder. A few moments
later Dr. Wood felt a terrible blow on
his knee, and fell, crippled in the left
leg. He was positive that he had
accidentally received a shot from an
army revolver of some Confederate
officer. He didn't dream that he had
received in the limb a large iron can
ister shot. Canister shot is used in
stead of shells in cannon at close
quarters, the shot being inclosed in
a tin box to the number of perhaps
one or two hundred. As this deadly
fire is emptied into the enemy's ranks
it mows the men down like grass.
All day -the wounded man lay on
the hillside watching the tide of bat
tle surge .up and down the steep,
death-strewn -■: slope. When night
came on and the firing ceased the
hill was in the hands of the Union
forces. At dusk the field was
searched for the wounded. A tall,
fine-looking man, wearing the straps
of a Union officer, passed near where
Dr. Wood was lying. The officer
noticed him and asked if anything
could be done for him. Dr. Wood
was carried off to hospital quarters,
but before going he asked of the tall
officer: -.:...- . ;.- .... -• • '....- 7 -i^.-v
"Sir, may I have the honor of
knowing to whom I am indebted for
this service?" The tall man was Gen.
Webb, now president of the College
of the City of New York, and the
two men since that day have never
met. '•'• - ■■■".*
When the hospital surgeons looked
at Dr. Wood's wounds they advised
the amputation of the limb, which
had swollen enormously. Most of
the surgeons believed that the shot
from the revolver, as it was sup
posed to have been, had rebounded
from the leg, as there was nothing'
to mark the place where it entered
the flesh, save a little scar. An old
German surgeon, Burgomaster by
name, disagreed with their decision
to amputate the limb, and advised
waiting. Fortunately, his advice was
followed, and in" a few months the
knee was apparently as well as ever.
A tiny scar at the knee was the
only evidence that a ball had ever
touched it, and as years went by he
almost forgot that a wound had ever
been there.
Immediately after thewar Dr. Wood
removed from Georgia to New York.
Some years ago he began to be trou
bled by pains in the left knee. They
always returned about the anniver
sary of the battle of Gettysburg,
and were felt at intervals j for sev
eral months after. For the last
three years, about one or two months
after the anniversary of the battle,
the leg at the knee has been serious
ly inflamed,' but has recovered within
eight or ten days. During much of
this time the doctor was confined to
the house.
This year the persistence of the
swelling induced him to ask his
friend, Dr. John C. Minor, to ex-
plore the swelling. . The operation.
was performed the afternoon, of
Sept. 28, the patient himself assist-
ing the operator. A hard lump was
felt a little .below the head of the
tibia, and an incision was made in
the flesh, large enough for the ex
traction of an ordinary pistol ball.
Dr. Wood's son, a young man who
is studying medicine, was an as-
sistant. After a little probing on the
part of the surgeon and patient the
boll was located, and Dr. Minor, with
one sharp tug, brought to light not
a ball from an army revolver, but
an Iron canister shot, two arid a
quarter inches in circumference and
three-fourths of an inch in diameter.
Owing to the unexpected size of the
shot the incision had to be extended
to admit its passing out. . ,y .
This remarkable surgical curiosity
has caused a great deal of interest
among medical men. Dr. Wood,
when seen 'by a reporter at his house,
on West Seventeenth street, was
discussing the oprenation with two
or three medical friends. He lay
on a couch, with the wounded limb
carefully bandaged. The shot
passed through the head of the tibia
one-quarter of an Inch below the
knee joint. Had -it passed through
the hard part of the shaft it would
have been shattered. Instead, it
passed through the bone by way of
the soft and spongy tissue. Had it
penetrated a hair's breadth farther
the walls of the blood vessels would
have been broken and death would
have ensued on the- battlefield. As
i/t is, not a nerve .or blood vessel is
the "\ '.■worse 7 for. the long years - the
iron ball Mis been 'their neighbor.
The shot- is as b-right: as when it left
the cannon's mouth. ,
In sqeaklng of the wound, Dr.
15
Wood said:. "I have often thought
the great mistake In making armor
for war ships was in not imitating
nature more. If, after the vessels
made sound and water tight by a
light steel armor, some, light can
cellated or spongy material were fas
tened outside and then a second light
plate outside of that there would be
far less danger of both plates being
shattered; and the war ships "could
be made much lighter. This, you
see, is the method nature follows,
and this wound of mine illustrates
it" ■
Dorothy**- Choice.
New York Sun.
It was the custom of Dorothy's moth
er putting her child to bed at night to
assure her that God protected all little
children. Dorothy never asked her
mother to remain in the room, but al
ways went to sleep as soon as she was
tucked in under the blankets:
There was an exception to this rule,
however. It occurred one night when
a severe storm was raging. Dorothy
begged her mother to remain in the
No dear," said her moth er, "re
member that God is here in the room,
and will take care of you."
A little later Dorothty's mother was
surprised to see the child rush into the
room - downstairs and jump into her
father's lap.
"Oh, Ise so 'faid of the wind," she
cried, as she snuggled up to her par
ent.
"Dorothy," said her mother, "didn't
I tell you that God was in your room
and would take care of you? Go up
stairs at once."
"I don't want to mamma," replied
the child. "You go upstairs with God
and I'll stay here with papa."
