PRODUCE

CHICAGO. March 27.-May wheat jumped
to so cents bushel to-day, two cent ad-
vance over Saturdays high mark, and
closed at 1880. The advance Of cent on
Saturday scared the shorts and they start
ed in at the opening to cover part Of their
line. The market was wild at the opening.
Heavy buying sent the market up with a
rush. Then the clique came in oy selling
some OF its holdings, when the price
dropped TO the opening figure. The shorts
then began TO buy again and the market
went up to soc, the clique aiding in the ad-
vance by taking back part OF their original
offerings. The traders became nervous
and from this point until the close the mar
ket see-sawed, closing near the top figure
Corn closed very weak at &c under Satur-
DAVIS latest quotations Oats were weak
and lower. Provisions were dull but firm
Partridge has this TO say Of wheat: The
CLIQUE poses as target for the entire grain
trade OF the country. While not having
the broad sides Of barn, this target is OF
suficient size TO be much riddled before
June1. Probably the capital Of the clique
is opposed BY equally large amounts and
the tactics arrayed against 1t are as shrewd
as their own. The contract stocks Of wheat
have lately Increased about 400. 600 bushels
weekly. There yet remain nine weeks to

skirt is as important and as difficult OF

that her new style skirt insists upon
pOking out Ia 'front.' aud that VIII never
do. Either the skirt must swell
smoothly from the skirt 90 the knees
and then resolve itself into q series OF

directions like the spOkeS OF a wheel,
or else 90 must represent IN front hat
plane that slants outward from belt TO
hem. and at the sides and back regu-
lar and symmetricaily adjusted series
of folds which fare from the waist TO
the bottom of the skirt. Such thing
as a sharp fold extending from waist
TO foot in front is not 90 be seen. Max
lug the new skirt at home IS going 20
be anything but fun. You had better
get your effect with tlOunces, and don't
depend on crinoline TO make 10 all come
right. The skirt must De cut with a0-
Solute accuracy and correctness or the
criuoline makes it all the worse.
