three of them Hardshell preachers in
three horse trades hand runnin, and by
gatlins they had jest naturally snapped
the Twin socks of Of him. He wound
up at last with horse that was moon
eyed and bellused and would kick ut his
shadow-which he sold out soon As he
could for ten dollars. And that's how
come you saw Andy totin of his saddle

When his luck did change it changed
good and quick. and then the cards
run from him like shot til! the other
fellows heit three aces and . pair of
Kings, as it were, whilst he couldn't

Somehow I was rale glad that Andy
remained over and carried around down
there amongst tie brethren till the
three days meetin come 6ff over at Coal
Springs. You &c. / knowed the crowd

CHICAGO, March 30.-The purchase Of
4,O0C 600 bushels of short wheat today by Par
bridge helped to make prices erratic. The
market closed easy near the lowest point for
the day, with net loss of 1k@9sc Corn and
oats lost Ac and 1ec There was quite a
decided break in provisions. Wheat was
very strong early and. very weak later 1t
opened unchanged at-64c and advanced to
645sc. The decline occurred in the face of
the largest days sales Of red winter wheat yet
reported in one day. The aggregate was very
close to 100000 bu. The biggest buying in
the pit during the early advance was by brok-
ers for Partridge, who cleaned up the spec
ulators' short line at from 64c to 6413c Mr..
Partridge being authority for the statement
That being over and becoming known in the
pit, selling became almost universal with the
result that May dropped to 63b@63Ac, and
closed at 6Sssc, against 63h@64c on Saturday;
while July sold down to 63H@63%c, and
closed at 6312@63ssc. Only a moderate spec
ulative trade was witnessed in corn, with the
range at A@%c. The market for oats was
active and business quite heavy. The main
cause for the heavy tone and decline in prices
was free selling by parties who recently
broke the market by selling short stuff May
opened unchanged at 1870, sold at 1885, de-
clined to 1910, and ended at that price. Pro-
visions were quiet, with heavy undertone, but
no great reductions in price until wheat
turned downward. The latter fact gave short
sellers the necessary encouragement, and on
that they threw more into the pit than the
market could absorb without considerable
break with the result that pork closed with
a loss for the day Of 271c, lard 10c and ribs
