FINANCE AND TRADE.
weekly Review of the Chicago Market.
FINANCIAL.


FINANCIAL.
Money continues abundant, and borrowers
are readily accommodated ON the street at 8
per cent, while the banks continue to obtain
10 per cent. The demand for favor IL not at
all urgent. Government bonds remain steady
and quite firm.
BREADsTUFFs.
There has been considerable interest shown
in wheat and corn, but for the other grains a
comparatively quiet feeling prevailed. the
amount Of business transacted being consider
ably below the average. For spring wheat the
demand from the opening until the close has
been quite active, and steady improvement
in values was noticed, the closing quotations
showing an advance of from 4c to 41Sc per bu
being mainly on the short futures, the de-
mand from spectators who bad not covered
their maturing contracts being quite active.
At the same time there was a good shipping
and export demand, and Eastern advires were
of favorable tenor. Corn opened firm and
higher. but closed lower under increased re-
ceipts, while oats sympathized with the changes
in corn. Rye was firm and trihe higher but
barley was weak and lower under increased
receipts. The movement was principally on
speculative account.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening aud at the close of the past
week

A ThIef's Clever Trick,

A Baltimore swindler went to near
sighted merchant, in the guise of tele-
graph messenger, and got him to sign
his name in two places in what purported
to be a receipt book. Really the fellow
had got him to sign his name on blank
leaf in such way that . note could be
written with a genuine signature and en-
dorsement. The profit to thu swindler
was 1923, and the merchant and the bank
that paid the money are quarreling about
which shall lose.

An AfectiOnate Family.

The Princess Domenica Ciarelli was
left widow, with two sons, and the
elder died. Almost crazy with sorrow,
the Princess was ready TO fight the men
who brought the coffin, and protested
they should not carry away the boy. In
an interval of calm the younger brother,
left alone with the body and the coffin,
resolved to cheat the men and help his
mother to keep Domenica. He hid the
corpse in closet and got in the coffin
himself. He was carried TO the church
without discovery; but at the church,
nearly suffocated, he groaned, and the
coffin was opened, but he died in little
while. Now the mother is dead. All
this in Paris only the other day.

and courageous men succeeded, after in
