The local money market yesterday was
quiet, with no changes in conditions from
Saturday except a slightly better demand
for call loans. Rates were easy ar 5@6 per

The Chicago Journal Of Commerce says OF
the market there: 1.-THE feature of the money
market is the continued ease. with offerings
in excess of the demands, which are only
fair. The market for call loans ts weak. and
loans have been made as low as 8 per cent,
but the general rate was 81 to 4. Commercial
paper Is readily taken, and there is unusual
activity in local securities and bonds at ad-
vanced prices. The feature of the week was
the pa cling of the "a, 900 900 stock and 50, 500.

The Dryeoods Marker.

NEW YORK, May 16-The drygoods market
opened with good encouragement as regards
the weather. but the demand was irreG ular
at first hands and quiet with joDbers. With
business largely accomplished for autumn as
well as for the current season little more is
expected than further developments for
noxt season. In that direction there was
more doing in plain cottons. chiefly for
water transportation, but there were no in
dications of an immediate general move
ment. Agents have expected to do more at
this time, but buyers are inclined to wait
awhile yet, perhaps until June. Yet an
active demand is liable to spring up at any
moment

"He is in love with Rose

Every one swarmed around
the Duke to pay tiattering
compliments to him. At 9
O'Clock the bah began. The
first dance was "a waltz. Ev-
cry young lady flattered her

was going to ask her to
dance with him, but just as
the dance commenced what

But they saved themselves
the trouble, for the very

Rose and the Duke went

when Lady Hpacinth came
in, her face beaming with
smiles. Dear Duke, excuse

she said, extending her long,

Because your sister and the
other girls want to dance
with the Duke" Lady Hy-

and left the room. Time
passed on. After a while
the Duke came in, leading
Rose and followed by a gray
haired man. Going under
a light, the minister, for he
was such, began to marry the
two. Not a word was said
until the marriage was over
Then all began to kiss Rose

Mlhe sun has dropped
j iii down" and the "day is
9l dead" The silence and
<calm of coming night are
lever everything, The shad-
|owy twilight lies softly on
sleeping flowers, and sway
ling boughs-on quiet foun,
|tains-the marble basins Of
which gleam snow white in
the uncertain light; on the
glimpse of the distant ocean
seen through the giant elms.
A floating mist hangs in the
warm air, making heaven
and earth mingle in sweet
confusion. The ivy, creep
ing up the walls Of the an,
cient castle, is rustling and
whispering as the evening
breeze sweeps over it. High
up, the tendrils climb past
mullioned windows and
quaint devices until they
reach even to the old tower
and twine lovingly around
it and push through the APP
ertures in the masonry of
the old walls. 1t IS here
that the shadows cast their
heaviest gloom. All this part
of the old tower is wrapt IN
darkness; but tonight 1t
looks brighter than usual,
for there is to be a grand
fete in honor Of Miss Hya-
cinth, Lord Violet's Youngest
daughter. She is a pretty
young maiden with bright
blue eyes and light, wavy
hair. Her parents dote upon
her. She has four other Sis
ters but theV are not petted
half so much as Hyacinth.
Rose, the eldest daughter, is
a beautiful girl with dark,
pathetic eyes and crisp,
black curls. She has never
been treated as well as her
other sisters, for she is not so
bright. This evening the
four girls are busily en-
ployed arranging flowers IN
vases. Lady Hyacinth feels
very proud as she sees her
lovely Hyacinth bend over a
vase of flowers and inhale
the sweet perfume. There!
| hear the roll of carriage
wheels. | must fly to the
door to receive the first guest.
Rose starts down the long
hall. "Stop! Let Lily CO."
exclaims Lady Hyaclnth
Rose walks slowly back and
her sister starts down the
hall. She soon returns with
two young ladies. "MisS
Pansy and Lady Wren,'
echoes Lady Hyacinth., as
the two guests come up,
Miss Pansy is dressed in &
gaudy yellow carleton and
Lady Wren in a plain brown
silk. "Why, Lady Hya.
cinth, Violet, where is youl
namesake?" exclaimes Miss
Pansy, airily. Here | am
DEAR" laughs Hyacinth
throwing her arms around
Pansy's neck. They all &C
into the ball room, where
they fad the fire flies already
assembled, making a brill
liant light. Up in the cor
ner, the band, consisting o
a mocking bird, a cricket
a robin, a thrush and
grasshopper, mum quietly
l A bevy of bellies come swarm
4 ing in and pour numberles
compliments upon Hyacinth
who bears them all with be
coming modesty. A mur
muir of admiration goe
from lin to lin as Lady Ger
