BULLS TOOK PROFITS
DELIBERATE SELLING RESULTED
IN AN EASY AND LOW MARKET.
All Cereals Participated in the Mod
crate Decline and Provisions
Quickly Followed Suit.

CHICAGO. March 1.-The bulls took prof.
its to-day and as result the wheat mar
zet was easy, May closing izc lower. May
corn closed &c lower May oats &c lower
and provisions at slight declines.
The weather was not as cold in the West
as to justify the signal service cold wave
predictions of the day before. That, in con-
junction with an excellent report on the
condition of the wheat plant in Kansas,
Missouri, Indiana and Illinois, along with
the fact that the more long headed of the
bull spectators had unloaded again on the
shorts during yesterdays advance, gave
the market a weak opening. May, which
closed yesterday at 545sc, opened with sell
ers at from $3.50 to 5f1zc, with an i'm
mediate further shade Of reduction. That
extreme weakness wore off in a short Z,
but was again followed by a declining
tendency until after the receipt of the Of
fetal cablegrams giving the quotations from
the continental markets. Berlin and Ant
werp were each quoted higher, and Paris
from &c per bushel advance for March
wheat to 2asc higher for the May-August
term The quotations from Paris to the
New YORK Produce Exchange named an
even greater advance in wheat than the.
official figures received here and translated
above. The Paris cablegram to New York
gave the advance in March wheat IS
centimes and So centimes, respectively for
spectively equivalent to 2Ac and 3lac per
bushel Those gains at the continental
markets caused a recovery here to 543sc,
which was the trading price at the close.
The business in corn was small and of
an embarrassing local character. The ten
dency of the fluctuations was to follow
those of wheat, with the tendency of corn
rather more in favor of a decline. The
opening price for May was 451sc and it de-
cnned during the day TO A5sc. with 45c the
closing price.
Oats were very dull. The tone of the.
market was easier with corn, prices being
shade lower during the entire session.
May sold between 2914c and &c, closing at
231s@294c
Very little change can be noted in pro-
visions, but such as there is. Is in the di-
rection of lower prices. The following are
the declines for the May deliveries: Pork
and lard. 215c; ribs. 25ag5c; pork, 212@5c.
Hog receipts were 1900 head, and $1,000
are estimated for Monday, with 10000 en-
tire run for next week.
Estimated receipts for Monday-Wheat,
50 cars; corn, 245 cars; oats, 1876 cars.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade of the Week Fairly Satisfact-
Ory with Stendy PRICE,.


DRY with Steady Prices.
The trade of the week under present con-
ditions was all that could have been expect
ed. The early part of the week the frost
came out of the ground rapidly and the
roads became very muddy and hard for trav-
ell This cut into the country trade. There
is still a good deal Of grain and produce to
be marketed in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
The last week prices in all lines have ruled
unusually steady. Coffees, sugars. canned
goods and all staple groceries are in strong
position with prices firm and steady. In
dry goods there were no changes of i'm
portance. In the drug line there were sew
eral slight advances, and in the seed mar
ket, clover advanced 10 cents. Other seeds
are unchanged. Eggs declined &c during the
week. Provisions. which are moving more
freely, were unchanged. The hide market
is still sluggish. Fruits and vegetables of
all descriptions are firm at quotations. and
little surplus stock on the market. Oranges
are reported higher at primary points. and
further advances may be looked for here.
The mder weather has set the banana trade
in motion.
There has been more life to the local grain
market the last week, the lover rates on
grain helping matters somewhat. Yesterday
corn advanced &c and all grades of oats 15c.

why Men Do Not Dance.
Harper's Bazer.


There is much complaint that men do not
make themselves agreeable as they might
~ dancing parties, and it is no unusual
sight TO find them standing about the halls
and doorways at entertainments while
young women sit partnerless through an
entire evening A lady of the writer's ac-
quaintance gave party not long since at
which there was a large contingent of men
who did not dance, and she inquired of sew
erel with whom she was familiar the reas-
on. The response was that many changes
We're constantly being introduced in the
various dances that being business men
and much occupied, they had no time to
keep familiar with them and therefore felt
hesitation in dancing with young ladies
who were thoroughly up in all the newest
forms. A remedy for incipient awkwardness
and hestancy on this score would seem to
re to ground boys thoroughly in the various
dancing steps.
Perhaps in New York well as in Lon
con, things may be progressing toward the
adoption of the Oriental custom suggested
by a Turkish dignitary who, several years
ago. entertained at an evening party
given by Englshman of note and posi-
ticn. Seeing his host hot and fatigued after
taking part in several dances, he incurred,
with surprise, why gentlemen and ladies in
England should perform such hard labor
when it was possible to have il done for
.hem. '.In my country. said he, .'it is done
for us by slaves.
