Towards the middle of life there will be obstacles to the position, the profession or honors, by open enemies belonging either to the clergy or the magistracy-the native will himself be the cause of these animosities. The position and occupation will be of a double, even plural, nature, the social relations will on this account be heterogeneous, a great treachery is to be feared. This sign gives determined enemies-armed sometimes which implies the idea of an ambush. The native will have cause to fear his immediate circle and relations by marriage. He will be the subject of persistent calumnies, or of unscrupulous intrigues in regard to family secrets or alliances. Gemini always promises events of more or less violent character, but the native will be protected from them in a providential manner. The temperament is sanguine, bilious or bilious nervous, which will cause great oscillations in life for good and evil. For any precision on these points the individual horoscope must be studied. The characteristics of the sign are activity of mind and body and skill in all handicrafts. It rules the United States and has much affinity to the typical Yankee. Every sign has thirty degrees, each decan or ten degrees of which has a subinfluence of another or the same planet:

1. Ruled by Jupiter: Numbers and mathematics, of deciphering hieroglyphics, writings and sculptures. Restless character which will hurt itself in the struggle of life, danger of violent death; a humane, generous nature but unfortunate, capable of rising by merit, but has more to fear of himself than of his enemies, errors of judgment and misapplied faculties, too self-confident. Oratorical power and talents for the bar, law and literature.

2. Ruled by Mars: Careless, unpractical nature, mental futility, unprofitable studies, a quarrelsome, wanton, violent and ungrateful nature. Hurts and perils in traveling. The friendship of martial people and fevers through acts of indiscretion. 3. Ruled by the Sun: Aptitude for the abstract and unprofitable sciences. Catastrophe in early life, an anxious, agitated existence. Success in literature and science, intellectual distinction and fame, but small fortune, many voyages, helpful relations, much trouble but eventual success.

Wheat Forecast on the Chicago Board of Trade for October, 1899.

THE NEW Moon for October, from which we make our forecast, occurs on the 4th at 1.05 P.M., Chicago, Standard Time. The Sun is in Libra approaching a sextile of Saturn, and Saturn is approaching the Dragon's Head. The sextile aspect of the Sun and Saturn is of no great importance, and has seldom caused an advance of more than two and one-half cents from any low point, but at the same time, it has virtue enough to prevent any decided break.

On the whole the outlook for the month is one which will prove a good source of revenue for elevator owners of large capital. The market will be quite an easy one to forecast as the Moon is well aspected, but those who are intuitive will be unable to follow their judgment, on account of Saturn being so near the Moon's node, which is as evil as though the Moon were in conjunction with Saturn.

From the 4th to the 10th the tendency will be downward, although no decided break is indicated, and as the Sun is so near a sextile of Saturn it will cause slight reactions every day or two. Therefore scalp both sides of the market.

From the 10th to the 23d there will be a good showing of strength and constant reactions from all depressions.

From the 10th to the 18th wait for good places to buy on; and from the 18th to the 23d look for a choppy market with probably one or two sharp spurts.

Sell short on all advances until Oct. 30, if the forecast has proven generally correct.

CERES.
