Earnings of Married Women.


A married woman is not usually supposed
to contribute directly to the family purse,
her time and strength being sufficiently
taxed whom she keeps house. manages chill
dren and servants and administers oare-
fully the domestic affairs which lie within
her province. That the husband shall pro-
vide the means and the wife attend to
thriftily ~ she can, Is the ordinary ar
rangement. sanctioned by custom and
agreeable to our idea OF business and fair
division of labor.
IL is now quite usual however, for mar
ried women 20 supplement the income OF
the family by the exercise of some gift or
accomplishment. They write. or teach. OF
lecture. or paint pictures; they embroider.
or make pickles and preserves. With de-
Iightful feeling of independence and the
most generous aud tender unselfishness.
wlves who earn money by some ef-
fort of this kind spend il for fam
lily uses. 1t goes to pay school bills
and purchase shoes. Wherever there is q
deficiency the supplementary earnings OF
the wife fit in so easily and in so
timely q manner that both husband and
wife count on this added source of income
as IL IL were In the anticipated order OF
things Often O style of living rather
more expensive than would be practical BILE

hoard or invest her earnings separately:

spent either for luxnries or for the benefit

SQUEEZED BY BULLS"
Chicago "Shorts" Caught by a
Sudden Advance i'm Wheat.
Prices Jumped Up LIE. but Fell Back
1-2c Before the Close-EnOrm0us
Sales of Corn.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-A squeeze for the
shorts in wheat w as the result to-day of
the dry weather and heavy exports. The
demand spraug up oil at once. Offerings
were light and an advance of 1isc was
easily established. but it did not all hold.
Two-thirds of IL stuck. however. 10 being
added to last nIght's closing prices. Corn
was depressed by liberal offerings from
longs. and lost ssc of its former value.
Provisions were irregular. but averaged
higher.
Wheat exhibited good deal of feversh.
ness. The leading bull factor was the
enormous exports of wheat aud flour for
the week which were reported at g. 350. 600.
against 4 100000 bushels week ago. and
S.SS5.000 the same week inst year. The dry
weather in the winter-wheas belt contin-
ues and seeding Is still delayed. The
shorts quickly got excited. But the fail-
ure of cables TO respond and the heavy re-
aliZing on the advance caused decline.
Corn was strong and higher early, in
sympathy with the frmness In wheat, but
the selling was enormous on the advances.
and when It was known that 1.OOO cars
werc expected Monday the feeling became
closing was lsc from the bottom.
Oats, while slow at che start soon fol-
lowed corn closing at the inside with Il a
$50 loss.
Lard was in sOme demand for the
reason, it was said. that the dry
weather was curtailing the production
of butter, and that the cheaper ar
tiele was. therefore. being substituted.
The support which packers gave to ribs at
the start was withdrawn later. and they
took the opposite course by selling rather
freely. The government estimates that the
hog crop this year is 902 of last years
production and "a of that seasons condi-
tion was generally secuted As quite out of
keeping. both with tho recei pts and weight
of the hogs this season. Compared with
Yesterday g closing prices are l9o lower to
15c higher.
Fhe estimated receipts for Monday are:
Wheat, 200 care; corn, 1000 cars; oats. 440
cars; hogs 5000. and for next week. 49,

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Taken as n Whole Trade Is Up TO Expecta-
tiop, Though Prices Are Unsettled.
A review of the weeks business, cIosin z
with Sept. 16. shows that there was very
fsir volume of trade in progress. While
not equalIng that of last year in the CORE
spending week. 1t approached it nearer
than have the preceding weeks of some
months past. G. A. r. weck excepted.
There is an unsettled state of prices. Dry
goods are on the decline. the reduction In
prices of last week being the largest of any
week in years. On the other hand staple
groceries are advancing, roasted coffee pe-
ing &c higher than on sept. /, and sugars
are in very strong position. The same re-
mark will apply TO hog products. which
have again reached nearly the highest
figure of year past. which were the
highest known III many years. On Conn
mission row there is good deal OF activity.
Irish potatoes are scare and advancing
and the same Is true OF onions and cabbage.
Peaches are selling low. so badly do they
rot, unless they have been well packed.
Poultry Is weak at quotations. Eggs are
steady and choice butter scarce,
The local grain market Is active. Indi-
