The wholesale dealers on West street
were Jubilant today. Generally the day
before Christmas the market is slow. ow-
ing TO the fact that dealers clean up their
stocks simply. but today there was as
brisk a market as on Saturday or Monday,
and little was left in the poultry market
except live stock and culls- There were no
changes in quotations.
The butter and egg market was also
brisk, at the prices given yesterday.

Had a Terrible Record.

A French journal relates an incident
in which a naughty functionary re-
ceived what in the vernacular of our
own country would be a meat set
down" This naughty person was a
member of the chamber of deputies,
and much given to long speeches.
One day he found another deputy
conversing in the lobby with a man
whose face seemed familiar to him, but
whom he could not remember. He
fancied the man must be an intruding
journalist.
pardon me-" he said to the other
man, "but whom have we here?"
''A1low me to introduce to you" an
swered the deputy, 1.-THE man who has
written more falsehoods and stEpidities
than any other man living"
Indeed" said the great man. ''Then
my supposition was correct that he is a
Journalistic"
mot at all-he is the official reporter
of the chamber"

On one occasion, when the late Mr..
W. H. Smith, controller of the English
news-stands, was first lord of the adj
miralty, some big trials were to be
brought off at one of the dockyards,
and a special train was run from Lon
don for the. naval experts. At one Of
the intermediate stations, one of the
book-stall lads jumped on the steps of a
first-class carriage and offered his pa
pers. A crusty officer ordered him of,
and, with some indignation asked him
how he dared to annoy passengers.
Look here" said the boy, after a
pause, you'd better be civil, or I'll get
the guv'nor to dock your leaveI"

Tenants to Fill the Big Office Buildings
Hard to Get.
CHICAGO, April 26.-Real estate men
have reduced office rents to retain ten
ants. Even then some of the older Office
buildings are likely to have more vacant
offices than in past years.
One firm of real estate agents says:
"There is not much moving, though there
are more vacancies and rents are lower.
Owners of big buildings are cutting
throats to get tenants. Stores are not
holding their own except few choice
corners and d few blocks in State street.
In Clark street from Lake to Van Buren,,
there are any number of stores to rent
For the same amount of space a tenant
can get better terms than last year."
