No Supp ly Large Enough Not to be Ex-
hausted by the Guests.
Kansas City Times.1
l was talking to 4 man to-day who had
recently given rather a swell reception.
Many of the incest people in Kansas City
were there and those who were not in at
tendance would like to have been.
Have you any idea," asked the gentle
man, "how many boxes of cigars it takes to
supply fashionable party these days?"
"A couple OF boxes, 1 replied.
"You don't 60 out much, do you, young
MANI" he said. 1.-TWO boxes! Why,
that would be a starter. 1 think if you
started with carload, there would be none
lett. The number of cigars that the men
in a fashionable party could consume
has never been tested, because the cigars
always give out. It's amazing. Why, at a
party at my house 1 had ten boxes of cigars
so in a box-good clear Havanas, and no
end of cigarettes. I expected to have enough
left over to last me for month. But
would you believe 1t, every single
solitary cigar and every box of cigar
cites were gone by ~ o'clock. There wasn't
even a "snipe' left. l don't like to
say that the men put them in their pockets,
but great Jehosaphat, 1 can't figure out how
tHeV cOulu nave SInOkeu lnein! 1ueie were
so men there and allowing that every
mothers son of them smoked like Turk,
there were ten cigars to man. Why, you
couldn't have seen the house for the smoke,
if they had smoked that many. Now, could
you?''
L was forced to admit that he couldn't.
"And now, let me tell you something
funny" he added. THE only fellow I
saw putting cigar in his pocket was the
preacher. The next party they have at my
house 1 am going to furnish pipes, bat you
can just bet I'll chain 'em to something. l

A Sharp Break in the Chicago Grain Pit,

Money-POrk Easy and
Lard Lower.
CHICAGO-Wheat-Tra was large today
and a weak and panicky feeling existed. The
speculative offerings were again heavy. There
was a perfect avalanche of wheat thrown on
the market after the price for December
dropped below the 81 mark. There was no
support to the market, buyers under the pres
ent conditions not caring to invest. Influences
were all more or less of a weakening effect

about lI@21Ic lower than yesterday.
The break in prices after wheat sold below
81 for December was very sudden. and stop
loss limits could not be all protected, prices
tumbling. The weakness was attributed to de-
cline in stocks. tight money market in this
country and in Europe, increasing supplies
of wheat and increased carrying charges.
Corn-The market opened with fairly ac-
tive trade and firm tone, first trades being at
an advance, owing to light receipts. ruled

then took advantage of it to the close. The
market closed with 59Q1Ic loss. The cash
market was fairly active. A good demand pre-

midday when the other markets declined rap

large holders to sell. Prices receded lc from

Pork-Trading was quite active and the
market unsettled. Sales early in the day were
made at 10c advance, but rather free offerings

Lard-More business was transacted and the
feeling was weak and prices lower. Opening
sales were made at 212q5c decline, but this was
quickly recovered. Larer the market weakened
and prices receded 5@713c with rather free
trading at the decline. About the middle of
the session the market was steadier and prices
advanced 215c, but receded again and closed
tame.
Short illustrating was rather active and
the feeling was easier. Offerings were moder-
ately free with rather good demand. Prices

ings in Chicago.
rEPEcIAL TELECRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
CHICAGO. November Rogers, Brown &
Mervin say: The Chicago market continues
active and promises considerable further buy
ing 10 November, though consumers are not
disposed to say SO. Yet it is a fact that in
many cases stocks are rapidly decreasing or
running low, owing 10 the unprecedented melt
which has gone on during the past few months.
Business now going is mostly for Northern
and Southern CokeS with fair demand for
Ohio softeners and silveries. In the
main, prices on these are firm, the leading
Southern companies having their order books
well filed. though few OF the smaller ones
have accepted some business at cut figures in
order to move accumulation of certain grades
Another disturbing feature has been the offer
ing simultaneously in different markets of a
few lots Of warrant iron. producing the i'm
preston that large quantity of such metal is
seeking sale the truth being that the amount
is small but the holders are pressed for money.
Lake Superior charcoals are in fair demand
al unchanged figures. both buyers and sellers
realizing that the temporary decentralization of
a fortnight ago was entirely unwarranted fur
naceS OF this Class with but few exceptions
being well sold ahead. Heavy consumption
continues. and much business Is being turned
away by the lobbiug foundreS. The outlook is
healthy and points to heavy business during the
winter. We quote for cash +. o. b. Chicago

PROPOSED TO THE WRONG GIRL.
1t Was in the Dark and He Thought It
Was Her Twin Sister.


Two twin sisters living at Bridgeport,
Conn.,, says a Western exchange, are so
identical in appearance that even members
of their own family cannot tell Martha from
Mary, excepting by a small mole under
Mary's right ear. They are pretty and win
ming, and have plenty of admirers. For
several months past Mary's accepted lover
has been a young blacksmith named
Rogers, and last Sunday evening he
made up mis- mind to learn for q
certainty whether she would marry him.
When he arrived at the house Mary was
out and Martha received him cordially, e1-
pecting to entertain him until her sisters
return. Rogers supposed she was his
adured one, and at once broaehed the sub
iect nearest his heart. He found her a
little more reserved than usual, he thought,
and her hesitation made him all the more
persuasive. At length she accepted him
just as Mary came into the parlor and
turned up the light. Rogers then discov-
cred that he had proposed to the wrong girl.
He made profuse apologies, and the sisters
kept him in hot water for an hour. Then
Martha released him from the engagement
and left him to finish out the evening with
his ''speckied beauty" 1t was too good a
joke for Martha to keep, and she whispered
it to one or two of Rogers friends the next
day.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Demand for Finished Products
Continues TO be Active.
NO IMPROVEMENT IN RAW GOODS,
Muck Bar Prices Well Maintained Through
Shortage Of Gas.
THE SITUATION AT OTHER POINTS

No new features in the iron and steel sit
nation have been developed in the past
week. There is certainly no Improvement
in raw irons, nor has there been any de-
cline. Markets are favorable to the cash
buyer. While raw irons are weak, and
manufacturers are still pursuing the hand
TO mouth policy. Demand for finished products
is still active, and in some lines manufacturers
are behind orders
The shortage of natural gas and prospective
return of mills to coal and coke has necessi-
tated changes in the modus operandi of pro
ducticn ana as a result muck bar prices are
well maintained.
Blooms and billets gave signs of weakness the
past week and prices are shade lower than
quotations Of last saturday. Rails and mails
stand at last weeks prices, but markets are
quiet The season is now here when demand
Tor rails slaCkens. and orders for the year TO
come will not be due until about the end oi
February. Structural iron Is still in good de-
mand, and prospects are that IL will continue to

Drygoods.

NEW YORK. November demand for dry
goods was without change from recent proper
tions, no new developments being reached in
regard to operators in staple cottons for next
season. There was, however, as for some time
past, q rather good business in all kinds of cot
ton goods while the market steadily i'm
proves IN condition. Many articles are un-
doubtedly scarce and the whole market IS
more or less bare of goods for this period. The
tone consequently continues strong and still
upward in some directions.
