LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Chicago, March 15.-Four thousand head
was the estimated supply OF cattle LOT
today. Prices were without lmpor I,t-..,
change. The meaSreness of the receipts
rendered any softenirg OF prices out or
the question. Hardly any good shipping
stock was offered, cows, bulls and com
mon TO fair steers making up almost the
entire supply. There were lew loads
that Were good enough to bring S6.UO46.lo,
but most Of the work was done at prices
below $50.
There .gere sales of hogs today at si.75.
That is 10 cents above the highest price
of the day before and that was ABOUT

BLOOMERS WORN AT NEWPORT

Newports fair society cyclists have in
troduced two new features of wheeling
life on Bellevue avenue. The footmen
who eIstwhile sat so stiffly on their
perohes in front or rear OF the turnouts of
the four hundred have been training to
follow their fair mistresses on bicycles.
They are required to sit up very straight
and the cycling professors experience
much difficulty IN teaching them how to
do it. Miss McAllster set the fashion.
The other fad is impromptu races on the
neigh boring roadways between fair
scorchers onstheir bikes and an equal
number of their social sisters mounted on
thoroughbred horses that are SO much
needed for the time being.
Newport has taken to boomers at last.
Lots of pretty new styles of cape or coat
exhibited at private views at the great
modistes in Paris. Short reefs of navy
blue are going to be immensely popular,
and are as swagger as can well be.
The sketch shows a short coat of navy
blue kersey of medium weight, whi ch
has unique decoration of white kid and
