The trade movement was still slow as general
thing. though there was more activity in some
quarters than on Saturday. The most noteworthy
changes were at the Produce Exchange. The flour
market was still dull though there was rather
more inquiry for lines OF extra State for shipment,
on the spot and to arrive. Wheat was In better
request and rather dearer for strictly prime
Spring, which was scarce. There was alse some
inquiry for future delivery, and seme bus

steady prices Corn was also more sought
after and with moderate receipts prices favored

A Carpet Story.

Mark Twain tells the following in a
letter from London:
1T is said by those who ought to
know that when Buckingham Palace
was being fitted up as home for the
Shah, one of the chief rooms was
adorned with a rich carpet which had
been designed and manufactured espe-
cislly to charm the eve OF His Majesty.
The story goes on to cay that a couple
OF the Persian suite came here week
ago to zee tina! all things were in readi-
ness and nothing overlooked, and that
when they reached that particular room
and glanced at the lovely combination
of green figures and white ones in that
carpet they gathered their robes care
fully up about their knees and then
went deliberately tiptoeiDg about the
floor with the aspect and anxiety OF a
couple OF cats hunting for dry ground in
q wet country, aud they stepped only
on tie white figures and almost tainted
Whenever they came near touching q
green one. 1t is said that the explaua-
lion is that these visiting Persiaps are
all Mohammedans, and green being q
color sacred to the descendants OF the
Prophet, and one Of these people being
so descended, it would be dreadful pro-
,ana.ion for them to defle the holy
colo. with their feet. And the general
result OF it all was, that that carpet
had to be taken up, and is q dead
