CHICAGO, Feb l1.-wheat opened weak here
because New York sent selling orders 10 in

larger quantity than the Chicago bulls were
able to absorb. Wheat, which closed at 555s;
bid on Saturday opened with one sale at that
price, while hundreds were at the same time
offering it at 53ssc. During the forenoon it
ranged between 53& and h32s953lac, being
about steady at $3.50 at noon The export
clearances were again light. Late sdvice'
from Liverpool were again weak, and it was
said accompanied with free selling
orders for wheat. Continental markets, on
the other hand, showed an improve
Partridge and Charles Smith were said to
have been the heaviest buyers today. The
market ruled weak during the greater part of
afternoon, with prices at times apparently
maintained with difficulty above $3.50, May
closing at $3.50.
The corn market opened heavy and below
the price at which puts sold on Saturday. 1t
did 1T get above the put price all day, but be-
came weaker as the session progressed up to
within half All hour of the close. There were
sellers OF May at the opening from 4424c to
44ssc and it had declined to 44l s(G44l4c before
IL O'Clock. 1t became dull after the decline,
with a feeling of heGviness generally pervad
ing the crowd. Receipts were light today.
The market recovered some near the end, with
trading at 455sc at the close.
Quite good business was transacted in oats
and values at the end showed slight falling
off from Saturday. The influence of corn
could be credited to having ruled the fluctua.
tions to great extent, but besides that there
was some independence to the market May
opened at 29c. sold off to 2ss<c, and closed at
297sc bid. The cash market was dull and full
Nc off.
The provision market acted in most I'M
accustomed manner The receipts of hogs
were heavier than had ever been known for
one day before. numbering $4,000 head. Not
outstanding such an enormous supply OF raw
material, the prices at the close OF the day
were higher than at the close Saturday.
Heavy buying, presumably by shorts caused
the reaction. May pork, which closed at
$l2.l21a on Saturday opened this m orning at
$685., but recovered from that point and
worth $l015. May lard which rested at
1866 on Saturday, opened today at $3.50 and
closed at $685.. Ribs dropped nc at the
moment of opening. but recovered that and
cents besides by the end OF the ses ion.

Washington, May 4.--The advocates
Of light draught boats in the nav are
pointing out a practical illustration OF
The Atlanta has been ordered to Grey
town, Nicaragua. to protect American
interests in case there should be a rev.
%olution, and yet 1t is asserted that the
vessel Will TO- be able to get over the
bar i'm the harbor and will be Obliged to
iay off two or three miles from the city.
Of course in the event Of trouble troops
could be sent ashore in boats and some
rood sized guns could also be landed.
but the ship itself with it's heavy guns
would remain far out from the city. 1t
s argued that a light draught gunboat
Of twelve feet or less would accomplish
UGH better results by getting cloSe to
the locality OF any possible disturbance.
The bar at Greytown is about four
.een feet under water and the Atlanta
draws about eighteen feet, while the
Montgomery, which will take the Near
aqua commission to Greytown, is even
Of deeper draught, and the commission
with all It's equipments Will have To go
ashore In boats over a stretch Of two or
three miles. The d~esirab!lity of having
the new gunboats constructed so they
can ascend South American rivers IS
also being urged on the secretary. 1t is
urged that there are numerous British
gunboats which "a easily go up this
river, while nearly all the ships Of the
United States navy would be obliged to
remain In the bays. The contest be-
tween the advocates of light and deep
draught gunboats is quite spirited. Sec
rotary Herbert will decide as to which
plan is preferable, as the board OF bu-
reau chiefs has been unable to agree.

SUES FOR DAMAGES.
Mrs. MiGnon Elliott Doesn't Want Her

Mrs. Mignon Elliott Doesn't Want Her
Picture on u French Novels Back.
New York, May 4-Because her fea-
lures have been reproduced OH the cover
Of an English translation OF a French
novel, Mrs. Mignon Elliott Of Brooklyn
has sued the Holland Publishing com
pany of this city for $50, 900 for libel.
The book I'm question, the "Demi-Nir-
gins is one Of those publications which
go abroad In ove colored like a Rocky
Mountain sunset. Its author, Nj. Pre-
vost, has the reputation OF being a very
entertaining writer-from the Partisan
standpoint. In the United states he
and his writings would probably be
consigned to a place somewhat more
lurld than the cover OF "Demi-Nirgins. =,
Mrs. Elliott Is a very pretty young wo-
man. whose one hobby is to have her
pictures taken. She has had SO many
taken that she long ago lost track OF
the different ones. II appears that the
manager OF the Holland Publishing
company secured the copyright Of her
photograph from a Brooklyn artist and
proceeded to emblaZon her features on
the cover Of Prevost's novel. This. Mrs.
Elliott says. was done without her per-.
mission M a greatly wounded her.
She regards Provost IA a muddy eyed
villain and thinks his book Is the worst
French novel ever published. Fifty
thousand, according to Mrs. Elliott. are
too few dollars to compensate her for
the modification she has suffered.

TROLLY ROAD FOR EGYPT.
Ministry Grants "a Belgian Syndicate tho
(OncessiOn in Cairo

Washington, May 4~.-Frederick C.
Penheld, agent n consul general of
this government at Cairo, Egypt, in a
railways Of Egypt says that the Egyp-
tan ministry recently received from a
Frenchman application for permission
to build a f%unicular or rope railway to
the top of the great pyramid. The re-
quest was not considered. The plan was
TO make "A railway similar to the cog
wheel railway on Pixies Peak, excepting
that the cable would be used instead Of
steam locomotives for motive power.
Mr.. Penaeld also says that a concession
has been granted to a company of Bel
gians for a trolley street railway line
In Cairo and that it will be in operation
next year. There are several applica-
tons for a similar franchise in Alexan-
dria. Several bids have also been made
for right to build a trolley line from
Cairo to the pyramids, a distance of ten
miles. to accommodate the enormous
number of winter visitors to Cairo who
want to see the pyramids. Railway
building is not a recent innovation in
the ancient land of the Nile, as the first
line, from Alexandria to Cairo, dates
rom 1852. and five years later the Eng
dsh engineer, Robert Stevenson, COM
pleted rail communication between AL
fxandria and SueZ. 1t is said that
Egypt, In proportion to population, has
nore railway mileage and better serv-
ice than Austria-Hungary Spain or
Portugal.
