Yesterday's Prediction of a "Gun
ning" for Long ViTheat
Fully Borne Out.
Minneapolis" May Goes to 84c,
Closing Weak and at the
Low Point.
Speculative Situation Now Pre
dominant Commercial
Items Ignored.
Minneapolls Chamber of Commerce, Jan 23.
Wheat went down u.uickly this morning after
starting off firm. May was 83%c on the curb,
but by 11 o'clock the bulls weie lighting to hold
it at 84YiC. Th Minneapolis story of yester
day of the bears out gunning for long wheat
excited much interest and was the subject ot
general discussion in Chicago, that market show
ing the greatest weakness and falling to 86%c
when Minneapolis was holdiug around 84 %c.
Some of the pit crowd were buyers at this point,
-on the expectation that the market would turn
about later and close firm, as it has done on
several occasions of late after showing early
weakness, but the wheat kept coming out, and
it was no easy matter to rally it. Th wire
service being still badly crippled, not much
news came thru, and the early guide on Liver
pool was a Montreal message making it steady
and unchanged. The visible figures, delayed from
esterday showed an Increase of 1,941,000 bu
in wheat, making the total 48,064,000. This was
the cause of some selling in Chicago, while
Minneapolis holders loosened up a little when
they saw 475,000 bu in the local increase for
three dajs. Th bulls were looking for some
falling off in receipts to follow the storms, and
this will probably come later. For today there
was less wheat than a year ago, or 225 cars
compared with 259, but the loss here -was offset
by 140 against 74 in Duluth, nor_do the compari
sons really mean so much just now, for there
^-"is plenty of wheat in sight here. Chicago got
.30 cais against 43, Winnipeg 155 against 138.
*The cash demand was pronounoed good by a
"majority of sellers, and 2&c under May re
mained the figure for No. 1 northern, but the
elevators again took a good part of the wheat,
indicating that the present rate of increase in
local elevator stockB is likely to be maintained,,
Primary receipts 568,000 bu, compared with
438,000 a year ago. S
The weather map -shows scattered snows in
the northwest, with temperatures colder in Can
ada, higher in Dakotas and Minnesota, warmer in
west and southwest, with more snow in Missouri,
Illinois and Ohio valley.
Traders were again without wire service east
and all the private wire houses were without
ires today. What little news filtered thru
came by a very roundabout way Prices con
tinue heavy to the close, but were holding up
better than the Chicago market For three
days Minneapolis shipped 65,650 bu 'of wheat and
41,358 brls of flour.
A. G. Chambers has a message from Pringle
late in the session th at was much less hopeful
as to maintenance of prices than former ad
vices, and it stated that in Chicago sentiment
generally has turned bearish.
Bradstreet's report sajs. \Vheat east of the
.Rockies increased 1,130.000 bu European stocks
decreased 700,000 bu world's stocks mcieased
430.000 bu corn in United States increased
1,269,000 bu oats decreased 258,000 bu.
A letter of Jan 12 from Antwerp to Slaughter
says: "Th wheat market is firmer and demand
improving. Cables efrom the River Platte" re
port heavy rains which delay the .movement
the crop, but 111 spite of this news there are
plenty of offers in the market also from vert
conservative sellers." Slaughter has the follow*
ing from Odessa, under date of Jan 2 "Ou
piesent stocks of wheat are aboat 4,000,000 bu,
of which 1,200,000 bu will be used by our mills
until March, and by that timp receipts of about
600,000 bu are expected."
THE FLOUR MARKET
NO CHANGE I N PRICESBUYEBS FEELI NG
THE MARKET.
Altho wheat futures were weak, millers made
no changes in the flour list. They reported
buyers teeling the market, but holding off
on the wheat decline, thinking lower flour prices
in order. I was expected that some waiting
liusint'ss might be entered on the weakness,
but the millers reported nothing.

MYSTERIOUS ACTION W CHEMIS
TRY CALLED "CATALYSIS."
Important Feafure in Modern Manu-

New York Glofce.
There are some people who irritate
one by their mere presence, who *with
out doing anything of which just com
plaint can be made, rapidly generate
a state of internal ebullition out of all
proportion to its cause. The unpleas
ant action of these telepathic nuisances
is described as a psychological effect.
A similar phenomenon of the inorganic
world has been for 4 long time known
to chemists under the name of cata
lysis,
In the current issue of Harper's
Magazine, Professor R. K. Duncan, the
chemist of Washington and .leit'erson
college, describes this remarkable
branch of chemistry, and points out
how rapidly it is becoming an impor
tant feature of modern manufacturing.
To bring out' the vast difference be
twee the ordinary chemical reaction
arid catalytic action, he uses the fol
lowing illustration:
On one corner is an Italian with a
cart of peanuts, on the other a boy with
a nickel. Brin the two together! I
the boy is hungry and likes peanuts, in
chemical phrase," if he has an affinity
for the peanuts, there is a reaction
which results in a comWSnation of the
Italian with the 5 cents and the boy
with the peanuts. This might be rep

Whe we consider catalysis, however,
no such beautiful simplicity prevails.
Some of it's results are almost as re
markable, says Professor Duncan, as if
by throwing a pound of salt into the
bay at the Battery, we could immediate
dissolve off the map the whole of
Manhattan Island. Obviously such ac
tiou is very remarkable.
Two substances lie side by aide for
years, paying no attention to one an
other's adjacency. Suddenly a third
appears on the scene. I touches the
others, and, wonder of wonders, each
immediately manifests a frantic inter
est in his neighbor, which finally results
in the appearance of one or several new
compounds. The third substance, or
catalyst, may be relatively insignificant
in size and quantity, takes no part in
the reaction, and remains unchanged
after it is all over. It action might
be likened to the opening of a door
between two rooms or the construction
of a bridge over a previously impassa
ble stream. Bu as a matter of fact
tKese are nothing but the wildest of
guesses, and no*one knows how a cata
lyst achieves its miracles. Catalysis is
still one of the mysteries of chemistry.
Despite ignorance of its modus oper
andi, catalysis is very largely used to
day in various chemical manufacturing
processes. All ferments are catalysts.
The commercial manufacture of many
chemicals now depends on catalytic
processes. Artificial indigo and bleach
in power are among its products. One
of the newest and most interesting of
these is said by Professor Duncan to
have just been placed on the market
in Germany. I consists of a contact
method of photographic printing, with
out sunlight, known as the "catatype"
process. Bot Professor "Duncan and
the German chemist Ostwald predict the
most far-reaching changes in technology
as a result of the applications of cata
lysis.
TAUGHT HIM ECONOMY
Olathe Man Says Grasshoppers Taught
Him to Save Money.
"I was never able to carry a dollar
about in my pocket," remarked George
Abbott, Olathe, Kan., "until the grass
hoppers lit down on our state a quarter
of a century ago, and cleaned up every
spear of vegetation as clean as the pave-
ment," continued the man from Kansas,
as he pointed to the cement sidewalk in
front of the hotel which the bellhops had
finished sweeping. "That little expe
rience taught me a lasting lesson and
1 began saving my money. It was awful
hard sledding for a time. I had a wife
and baby on my hands and not a cent of
money. I have got up under the stars
many a time to walk ten miles to obtain
a day's work, and trudge all the way
home again at night because my wife
was afraid to be left alone. The grass
hoppers only paid UH that one visit, but
it was enough to set me on the right
track, and today I am paying out $100
a day in wages to common laborers and
as much nfore to skilled artisans.
"What business am I in? Manufactur- i
ing concrete blocks for building material,
and I want to tell you that we cannot
meet the demand that is being made
upon us. I Am here primarily to attend
the conyention of cement users which
meets here this week, but I am also on
the lookout for machinery which will en
able us to double the capacity of our
plant. W only started our plant last
March, and since then we have built a
large numbeer of private residences and
several flat buildings. W have also put
In a large number of foundations for
business houses."

came a notorious miser. He shunned so
ciety and lived in a dilapidated VJbuse on
bread and water. He never bought new
clothes, and he limited his personal ex

"Well, Nick." said Alice softly,
"Whatever troubles may
Arise to disconcert us
And cloud our married way,
There one consolation
That lends a softening touch
While congress is ln session,
This glad relief to give.
We will pot have to live
In Cincinnati much."
