Wheat-There was a spasmodic at
tempt made this morning to bull wheat
on war rumors but after a strong open
ing and timid shorts had covered, the
excitement had eased off and an i'm
mense line of long wheat was dumped
on the market by people who believe
that if a big advance is coming it will be
preceded by shake OUT by the Armour
crowd and shrewd spectators will be
given chance to buy fraction lower,
by acting promptly.
Gables all came higher and cash de-
mand at the seaboard reported as i'm
proving, with indications of good IN
creasing export shipments
Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
showed decided falling off, while be-
low the estimate here, with only 100 cars
estimated for tomorrow.
News from California are fully con-
frmed and stocks are over five million
bushels less than a year ago, and the
new demand from Australia and
Asia promises to exhaust sup
plies completely. These are facts that
will be felt by and by. The accidents are
strongly in favor of the holder of COO
wheat. 1t only took miscalculation of
the visible supply to cause an advance
from oO to 6314 IN very short space OF
time. The political situation is grad
ually reaching a point where "Gncle
Sam" or Johnny Bull' will either be
compelled to lose their dignity or fight.
The fact that rail shipments from Chi
cago in a single day this week were
over 100000 bu is sufficient commentary
on the cash demand. Wheat is being
shipped from Chicago to St. Louis and
from California aud South Africa. These
abnormal movements have more than or
binary significance as indicating de-
mand.
Corn and Oats.-Corn did not share
he slump in wheat today, and although
he market was not active. there was a
firm undertone and good cash demand.
| Provisions.-Quiet but firm. The stu
| alton warrants higher prices.

TEA SUPERSTITtoNS.
One May Tell of Marriages and
Death in the Cup.

Even round "the cup that
cheers" some quaint superstl-
tious notions have been woven;
for instance, if yoa put cream
into your cuff before the sugar
it will "cross your love-" so be
very careful. If, while the tea
is being made, the lid, removed
to pour in the cup it is called
a "beau," and when this is
seen unmarried women should
stir their tea very quickly
round and round, and then hold
the spoon upright in the center
of the cup. If the "beau" is
attracted to the spoon shortly
if not that very evening; but if
the stalk goes to the side Of the
cup he will not come. In East
Anglia, however, the same thing
is also said to denote the COM
ing of a stranger, and if the
stalk is soft, the newcomer will
be lady; if tough gentleman.
If you want to know how many
years will elapse before you
may expect to be married
balance your spoon on the edge
of your cup, first noting that it
is perfectly dry, fill another
spoon, let the drops OF tea
gather TO the tip Of the spoon
and gently fall into the bowl
of the one below. Count the
drops; each one stands FOR a
year. 1t the cluster of small
air bubbles formed by the
sugar collect and remain in
the center of the cup, it is a
sign Of fair weather. If they
rush to the sides, there will be
rain very shortly. In some
parts of the country these same
bubbles represent kisses; in
others silver money. We have
all heard, too, of telling for
tunes from the grounds left in
the bottom of the cup.-Phila
