The Days Transactions on the Board o.
Trade.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Liverpool was a de-
cided factor in wheat at the opening.
Opening quotations in that market were
all the way from Id to 1tad higher. At the
same time it was known that the amount
of wheat on ocean passage had decreased
very heavily and that the worlds ship
ments to Europe last week were small.
Becrbohm's cables placed the decrease on
ocean passage as S,S4l 900 bushels. With
that to start with wheat. which closed
anywhere from So to S51s and s5A, the most
general price. There was a gradual but
almost steady decline until the price of
May went down TO S414 about II o'clock.
Chicago receipts We're b5 cars and $1,000
bushels were inspected out of store. Min
neapolis and Duluth got only 301 cars
against GAS on the corresponding day of.last
year. The worlds shipments as finally re-
ported were 5.2040 900 bushels against 3.SIi.-
100 bushels the week before and 6,612 ON9
bushels the corresponding week last year
The. visible grain supply showed an in
crease of 900 bushels instead OF de-
crease of about that much. Closing cables
were very firm and higher. The market
here, however. was kept down by steady
selling out of long wheat. a great deal of
which during the last hour was caused by
several bank failures in the northwest. The
price of May finally got down to S3% and
shade better Oh sympathy with the better
tone in wheat, but turned weak as the
leading cereal declined. Liquidation was
the order of the day in oats. The market
sympathy with wheat and on the decline
several good lines were disposed Of Pro-
viions were rather tame and appeared to
be as murll Under the influence of the

The Mistake She Made.

AT party the hostess said to a guest:

introduce him, and you must try to
amuse him. You know his strong point
is butter, on which he has written a
book ;"
The lady guest graciously undertook
the task of entertaining the man, in
wardly wondering that he should be so
interested in butter, of which she knew
very little, when his face indicated a
mind given TO much profound thinking
However, with butter in view, she
began on the weather, gradually got to
the country, then on to a farm, from
that to COWS and at last to butter The
man looked more bored than ever, the
magic word "butter" producing not the
slightest effect, and he left her some
what abruptly and soon withdrew from
the house.
II did my best, she explained to the
hostess. Il went through agonies to
prove that l was deeply interested i'll

''Butter" exclaimed the hostess.
"What possessed you to talk to that
man of all men on butter? | told you he
had just written book on Buddha, and

ested in the same subject"

At last in despair he gasped out: "Do
any Of you folk have friends? | mean,

They did not seem TO quite under

feeling that he had not put the PROPOSE
tion quite as mildly as he might he
again began, after once more glancing
back toward the Golden Gate: II mean,
is your father anybody-anybody in
particular, mean, miss?"
The old man spoke with effort and
desperation. The cold was piercing his
old bones to the marrow, and he knew
he could not hold the oars or steady the
boat much longer.

could hold up her head as he spoke,

your father anybody? Who is your
father, say? And where is he?"
"Yes, yes, gasped the blond head
from between the girls, without rising
up, yes, my fathes is great man. He
Is sheriff of Stanislaus."
"Well, let him stay in Stanislaus, 4"
nuttered the old man between his chat
tering old teeth.
He again glanced back over his
shoulder, lighthouses and stars, stars
and lighthouses, and a great, cleaning
wall of white beyond. But that was all.
my little girl, my quiet little girl
in black, where is your father?''
The old mans voice was quite broken
now. 1t trembled so that he could hard
ly speak. His left hand had slipped
from the oar. The rowlock ratified
heavily, but the hand lay helpless.

together clumsily, hardly able to hold
together from the cold and wet, but
holding them, so she raised her pitiful
face to heaven. Her chin quivered and
her lips trembled, but she could not
speak.
The old man understood. With his
one remaining hand he lifted his hat
and laid it reverently down as he said

And long time he looked steadily
upward, and the trembling lips and the
quivering little chin were lifted also.
The two rowlocks ratified and rasped
and rasped and ratified. The boat was

Some lively college girl, no doubt
from the sunny south, relates in The
Wellesley Magazine novel variation
upon the theme, long popular with the
funny man" of the newspapers, es-
pecially at Thanksgiving time, of the
little boy who wants to eat more than
he can. Little Sammy, OH the porch of
the great house of tho neighborhuod,
had just inquired insinuatingly, "Didn' t
de white folks have ice cream fo' din
nah, Miss Kate?'
This small negro reminder of happy
" 'fo' de wah days" had never pleaded
with me in vain for goodies, proceeds
the narrator. Very soon he had eaten a
full saucer of cream, which | had given

sticky forefinger was looking at me
with eyes that begged for more, and he
got it, even to the third saucer.

Only the clink of the spoon against the
saucer and a satisfied sigh now and
then broke the stiffness of the southern
summer day. Presently all was quiet,
and | looked round to find the happy

little on one side and his eye fixed
gloomily on about quarter of spoon
full of cream.

He looked at me as he Strengthened
up and unbuttoned the little worn jack

ev'y whar 'cept my mouf."
