"Judge of our dismay when we

Everybody felt small after this tale,
when up jumped Paddy the Wit, and
seizing the Yankee's hand, exclaim
ed, "You saw that man yourself?"
"That's so," said the Yankee.

A Glasgow steamer was laboring
in a heavy sea, the waves sometimes
sweeping her decks, but. the officers
had assured the passengers that
there was no danger, and all seemed
reasonably calm with the exception
of "one meek-appearing little man,
who, every few minutes, would ap
proach an officer, and anxiously in
quire If he. .thought the ship would
founder.
"No, I tell you!" one ot them
finally exclaimed, with impatience.
"What is the matter with you? Look
at those other people they are not
scared to death."
"Oh, I'm not scared." the man r
pled; "but If the ship was going to
founder, I wanted to know a little

"Oh, wanted to tell your friends
good by. and all that?"
"Well, not exactly," the man said,
hesitatingly; "the fact Is, my mother-in-law

FALLING TENDENCY Gill WAS WEAK
Shown in Stock Market But Scarcity
of Offerings Was Sufficient to
Sustain prices.
New York, July 14. The stock mar
ket showed a tendency to slip back in
to the rut of dullness from which last
week's animated dealings had stirred
it until the persistent strength of the
market prompted a renewed outburst
of buying in the final dealings. In
spote of the early dullness there was
a conspicuous scarcity of offerings
of stocks. This was sufficiently mark
ed to make it the characteristic fea
ture of the market. The demand,
while moderate, was thus made effect
ive In holding prices., The absorption
of United States Steel continued in
a manner to keep the attention fixed
and 'persistence of the -demand was
attributed In a general way to the
heerful view of the trade outlook.'
United States Steel touched 42.
Southern Pacific was another center
of strength and the dividend policy
exemplified in the maintenance of the
of the Baltimore and Ohio dividend
was believed to be responsible for this
buying on the assumption that it was
carried by the prevailing influence of
the head of the system. News of the
adjustment of th wage question be
tween the Western Rar Iron Associa
tion and the Amalgamated Assocla
tion was a helpful factor in this grou;
ot industrials. So was the reported
blowing in of more blast furnaces of
the United States Steel Corporation
The sharp diversion from the prevail
ing strength shown by the market
was caused by the sudden pressure on
Reck Island allied securities. Ru
mors were revived of expected diffi
culty on the part of some subordinate
companies in meeting the coming ob
ligations. Those were denied, but the
dissatisfaction of various interests
with the present form of organization
ot this company. Is admitted. The
money market is still moderately af
fected by the wlthrrawal of govern
ment deposits from banks and by pre
parations for the payment of the finai
installment of subscriptions to the Ua
ion Pacific -funding bonds. The stock
market closed with large buying in
various quarters of the list.

Owing to Profit Taking On Large
Scale Mild Rally Had Little Ef
fect All Closed Down.
Chicago, July 14. "WHEAT. Profit
taking on a large scale caused weak
ness today in 'grain and provisions.
Ho,' pioducts were especially heavy
and closed at a net decline of 87
90; the greatest loss being sustained
by pork. September wheat closed
lower, corn down ; oats off .
The wheat market was weak nearlv
all day on free selling by commission
house? and local holders. The market
was chiefly a "weather map" rffair,
the bearish sentiment being Inspired
laigely by more favorable weather
conditions in the northwest for the
growing crop.
Unreasonable hot weather in
large part of the spring whea tcountry
had been supplanted by lower ten
peratures and the official forecast
predicted rain tonight for the western
portion of the Dakotas. News from
the northwest was conflicting but
miiiiy supposedly reliable reports
claimed that a large part of the crop
lud been irretrievably ruined by the
recent torrid wave. The weak mar
ket at Liverpool added depreciation.
There was a mild rally late In the day
on covering by shorts. No. 2 red
91; N'o. 3 red 90; No. 2 hard 91
ft 94; No. 3 hard 90; September
op-enee 91i,481; highest 92; lowes'
90; closing 91f(91; July 91.
t.OHN Trade was not large and
the sentimertt was bearish all dav.
owing to ideal weather conditions for
a new crop. A leading hull was one
of the. principal sellers. Advices from
th, country indicate that the move
ments will be heavier within, a few
days, ami this tended to weaken the
market. The close was weak, No.' 2
74; No. 2 white 77; No. 3 white 741?
75. No. 3 yellow 75ffr7fi; September
opened 74(0 74: highest 74; lowest
71 (losing 74; July 73:' ' !
OATS Cooler weather In the
northwest had a weakening effect ex
cept on July delivery which was firm
owing to active covering by shorts.
The demand for July was due to light
stocks of oats in the public elevators
here,' the total amount being 98,000
bushels. The close was easy; No. 3
white 5558; September opened
4343; highest 13; lowest 43?

worked almost two hours when an
