Dun & Co., and llrndstroet, Jof Now York, in their weekly roviow ot trade say: Traders in wheat have lifted prices a little and yet nobody questions the correctness of Western reports indicating more than ordluary yield of winter wheat and usual progress in the planting of spring. With tho narrow stock usual Ht this season, a speculation for ad vaiiee always has many opportunities, but Western receipts are still forty percent larger tbun last year, while Atlantic expor.s, flour included, are for the week, 943,UG7 bushels, against 1,615,051 a year ago. After a fall to 68,'^c the price rose about two eeuts. Corn is fll?o u shade lower, but without deflr'.lo | h reason. Cotton speculation has lifted the | snot price to 8.31e and prolits have been realized front tho men who have sold cotton thoydi! not own, but it is still tho foot that tho outlook for next falls crop is unusually favorable, while stocks here and abroad exceed nil possible demands until September.

Much of the licsi- | tntion ut present in <lu? to temporary reduced demand lp some industries, and in iron and steel the power of the new combinations is being generally tested by refusal of orders, so that production exceeds consumption, but consumption exceeds new buying. For textile manufacture, it is trying. l'rint cloths are au eighth higher but somo other grades have declined, so that the average of all quotations is slightly lower. llclntivcly unfavorable features of the general business situation this week Include unseasonably cool weather, which at some centres has ? becked trade; contiuued surplus stocks of cotton, which depresses prices, uuil11 ess and idle machinery in the woolen goods industry; a falling off in demand for lumber at Ht. Louis and Minneapolis and eonntiuued dullness in iron and steel, where, although mills and furnaces are fairly active, there is a continued absence of new orders. Chicago jobbers report the week's business in light seasonable fabrics as only fairly satisfactory, transactions in clothing smaller than in thu like period 11 year ago, and the leather market weaker, owing to luck of demand, but light hardware relatively more active.

I Hung my arms around Lis neck ami kissed him ! What shall 1 do?" "How could you havo made t>ucii a mistake?" "In the dusk ho looked exactly like you. Of course, the moment ho spoko my horrible blunder Hashed upon mo and I fled." "No nonsense, K.iy. 1 will see him and cxpluiu the mutter. If ho is so much liko mo nc doubt ho is a very decent follow." This conversation took place between a charming girl and her brother, who wore stayiug at a certain hotel in a well-known scasido rosorr. To this hotel I came in search of health to restore a nervous system which had been failing lately, and, indeed, had never quite recovered from a shock caused by a horrible aocident which had happened to me several years ago. I had bceu lured by a madman into his house under pretence of playiug a gumo of billiards, to find myself a prisoner with an armed lunatic, who forced mo to play tho gamo for tho highest possible stako?life itself. Fortunately I won ; but my opponent, although ho fultilcd the conditions of our game by shooting himself, with refinement of cruelty tiod me iu a fainting condition to the billiard tublo so that I might witness his death. Indeed, his vindietivenoss wont further than, this, for ho branded my leg with a hot iron and wrote a paper in which he accused me of taking his life. 1 was charged with tho murder, but acquitted, us the fact of my being discovered bound and the strange appearance of the liodv attired in the cos tumo of Mephistopheles?a character the madman endeavored to assume? was suflicieut to prove my side of the story. Even the astuteness of Scotland Yard proved powerless, lor ail the police couid discover, after a long search into tho antecedents of the unfortunate man, was the fact that lie had been conliued in a lunatic asylum. I needed no proof to convince mo that the man was mad. But there was a method in his madness. Until I met him in a public billiard saloou, whence ho took iue to his house, i hud never set oyc9 on him before. Then what was the reason for tho cruel hutred he evidently felt toward me? Two clews I possessed, but as each had proved usoless to tho detectives, it was not likely that the.y would lead mo to a a solution of tho alTuir. First I discovered that in branding my leg the wretch had traced tho letters KACBE. That these letters represented tho German word "Revenge" I was perfectly aware; but what was I to leuru from that? That tho mau was a German? 1 think not. His ncceut plniuly told me he was English. No doubt revenge was his object, but tho meaning of those letters remained a mystery. My other clew was a note which I found dunug a subsequent visit to the fatal room, hidden under a carpet. Although it bore no address, I suppose it was meant for me, as it spoke of the writer being avenged at last after a chaso half rouud tho world of one who had stolen his money, murdered his intended wifo ar.d attempted to murder him. This appeared to he nothing more than the ranting of a mind diseased, and I soon gave up all hope of ever getting to the bottom of the mystery of my terrible game of billiards. On reaching tho hotel, on the day my story opens, another shock awaited roe, though of a somewhat, dillercut L'in.l Au f piitpivul t Iwt tin 11 n in? girl rr.u up to mo, Hung her arms around toy nock, kissed me and murmured : "You darling, I'm so glad vou'vo corao!" In my embarrassment I said something, out tlio fair damsel had llown like a startled bird. "A little thing like that makes one fool at liouio directly," I said to myself with a smile, for, as a single man, I knew the value of a pretty girl's kisses, and would have hko.l a more extended interview. 1 looked forward to dinner that night witli much eagerness and longed to see the lady who distributed her kisses so rashly. In the drawing room, beforo the gong sounded, my wish was gratified. A man of about my own age, who boro a striking resetubluuco to mysolf, eamo toward me with the charming ..;-i 1.1 u: ?? 1..1 ? tj i_- . t^iia uiuntii uv iii.i niiii-. uu t'lpiiuucil that tho kisH was intended for himself, and introduced his sister, who apologized for her mistake in the sweetest manner. I sat next Miss Carstsirs at dinner, and in tho cour.su of conversation remarked that once before 1 hud been mistaken for another man witii nearly a fatal result to myself. 'Oil, do tell mo about it," alio said. I was about to do so when she added: "lint, no, plcaso wait until after dinner; then .Max can hear the story, too." I am afraid my eyes were scarcely lifted from my beautiful companion during dinner. Already love had eon I iiScf?^5 gj.?HI " 1 ; v i. . 'Y SOLVED. quercd. You see. fit the outset, bcioro there bad been time to so inucbaa declare war, tho position had been stormed, the citadel "rushed" by that delightful kiss! And now it was sufticient happiness for mo to watch the changing lights in a pair oT 6upphirc eyes, whose dusky lashes curled upward as though in wanton contrast with the tendrils of the auburn tresses above. We three took our coffeo in the gardon that warm September night. "Now," exclaimed Carstairs, "Ray is dying to hear your story, so go ahead !" "Well," said I, thinking what n sweet numo Ray Carstairs was, "although it happeuod several years ago, the incident still remains painfully fresh in my memory. It wa| nu adventure I had with a mad billiard player. They both started. "Max," said hissister, "doesn't that remind you of what happened at?" "Yes," ho replied, before she could finish tho sontauoa. "hut don t inter rapt, l'lease go on,'' ho added. la n ruomcut it flashed upon rac that the solution of the mystery lay within ray grasp. This man, wuo so strangely resembled me, was the intended object of the raaiman's revenge. "Is it possible," I cried, springing to ray feet in excitement, "that you aro the raau?" "1 don't understand," paid Carstairs, looking as perplexed and startled as his sister at ray sudden outburst of feeling. "Of course not ?of course not," 1 murmured, sinking into ray chair. "1 will tell you the whole story, then you will know what I mean." As J went through the horrible dei tails of that fearful night they listened with rapt atteutiou.nndunlessthe darkness deceived rae, I detected tears ol sympathy in the beautiful eyes of Kay Curst airs. "You are right!" exclaimed hei brother, as I finished; "all you suffered was iutended for me. Now, loi my Htory, which will clear up tlit mystery. Miss Carstairs rose. "1 think I'll run off to lied, Max. I'm very tired, and it's getting late.' She kissed her brother, then gave her haud to me. "Good night," she said, "let us hope it will be tino to-morrow." Reluctantly I relinquished her hand, but there was hope in that relerence to the weather. Might it not mean ? walk together in the morning? I tinished the evening in Max Car stairs's room ; and while wo smoked he told his strauge story. "Mark Malbrain was the man'c name." ho continued "and I met him | nt a hydropathic establishment in tin I North, where my sister and I were ; staying one summer about eoven 01 j eight year.i ago. My sister was thei i about seveateeo, anil Malbrain, mucl to lier disgust, fell wildly in love wit! : her. Ho mndo himself generally r nuisance by pestering her with unwel ; come attentions and writing extr.iva , gant verses in her praise, uutil nl | length matters cntuo to a crisis. Tab i leuux vivunts were a favorite eveuinp I amu3emeut, and on this pnrtieulni j night my sister appeared as Mnrguer ! ite, I was Faust, and to Malbrain waj j assigned the 10I0 of Mcphistopheles, The living picture was nn ilumen.si success, and a dance followed, at whicl we appeared iu our stage costumes.

"From tho nmnuor of his roply gathered that he did not'know ltache j was my sister, but imagined we wen i1 lo\ <Ts; and I did not thi^uk it wortl j while to deceive him.

Midbrain seized his cue, trembling like the proverbial aspen loaf. Ho went to pooket the red, but he missed tho ball entirely, giving a point to me. Ol course, 1 won by my next etroke. "The stake holder handed tho ?200 to me, amid the applause of the men standing aronnd?for Midbrain was not liked and my victory was popular. Then the party broke up, but Maibrain waited for me on the stairs. His face was livid with passion. " *1 hope you aro satisfied,' ho said hoarsely. 'I am sorry,' I replied, 'if tho stakes were too high, but later you , may have your revenge!' " 'llevcnge!' ho shouted, losing his self-control. 'I'll huvo my revenge! We'll play again and you'll find tho stakes still higher?too high for you !" "I had cood reason to remember tho30 words when I awoke odo night, to find Midbrain in my room dressed i in bis fantastic costume of '.Mephisiopheles.' " 'Come,* 6aiil he, 'otio of 113 must <lio to-night. Through you I lost tlio girl who would havo been my wife. 1 My money, too! lint como to the billiard room ; we will play to-night.

"I knew as I sprang from ray bod 1 that the mau was mad ! Wo grappled together, the candle fell from his k bauds, and wo struggled in darkness. Down we went on the floor, and I felt the cold steel of a revolver, which exploded and a sharp pain camo in my arm. Then I heard doors opening and voices, eo I held on till some of tho fellows came in with lights. '.Mephistopheleb* was carried off to his own 1 room, raving and struggling. Tho slight wound in ray arm was dressed by the doctor connected with the establishment, who also took tho unfortunato lunatic under his care. i "Later on Malbrain was sent to a private asylum. The doctor's opinion was tbat brain lesion had threatened ?tho poor fellow for some time. ''WJiether he had escaped from the asylum when ho met you, or had been : (discharged as cured, ouo cannot say. i However, my story," concluded Carstairp, "lias solved the mystery of your unfortunnto encounter with the wretched man." "Yep," I said, musing on the strango account I had heard. "Hut I wonder I why he charged you with murdering Miss Carstaus? And he also repeated t the accusation in the paper I found. 1 suppose it was soiuo wild idea he had got Hold of in his mad jealousy of L you." "Yes," said Carstairs. "You eeo, f ho thought wo were rivals, and he r knew I was the cause of Hay's disappearance." "Then there is another thing that puzzle me. Why did tho madman brand mv leg with the word 'Rache?' " ? "It is German for revenge," said Carstaira. "Yep, but Malbrain was not a German, po why should ho uae that language?" i "Can't say. I suppose tho marks have entirely gone by this time?" > "Yes; but the poliee had them photographed, and I think I have got one of the photos in my portmanteau."

Of coutse, the word ho meant to trace was 'Rachel,' only lor some reason he didn't finish the *Jj.' Ha! ha! ha! .How Ray will laugh at you when she hears of you being tattooed with her name." * So mv last thought that night was of eharmiug Ray Carstairs.

Speaking of wonderful timpieces, n yellow old book tells a story about ti , clock made by Droz, a mechanic oi Geneva. Thore wore to bo seen on ii j an African, a dog and a shepherd. I When the clock struck the shepherd played six tunes on his flute and tin ^ dog approached and fawned upon him. This clock was exhibited to the King y of Spain, who wes delighted with it. "The gentleness of my dog," said L, Uros, "is his least merit, lf'youi j majesty touch ono of the apples whicL j you see iu tho shepherd's basket yon t will admire tho fidelity of this animal.' The king took au applo and tho dop 0 flow at his hand and barked so loiul B that tho king's dog began to bark. Al this tho couriers, not doubting thai ^ I the clock was bowitched, hastily loft j the room, crossing themselves as thej went. Tho Minister of Marino was tin only ono who remained. The kinp 1 asked him to enquire of the African j tho time of day. The minister obeyed, j but received no rosponse. Droz thou observed that tho African had not vol learned to speak Spanish, whereas the B question was repeatod iu French, anil 3 tho African immediately nnswerod. j At this now prodigy tho Minister ol j Marine rnu away, declaring tho clock I was surely tho work of witches.?Chi. cago Record.
