MARKET SUMMARY.


CHICAGO, May 22.-Foreign news had al
most complete control Of the wheat market
today, and caused 11sc advance In the the
July option The most influential news came
from France in the shape OF disturbing
crop reports, and made shorts scramble TO
cover. Corn and oats closed firm, ana SUD-
stantially unchanged after early weakness
Provisions were weak from beginning to end,
and closed at declines ranging from INC 70
121sc Wheat opened arm and from Nc TO
Nc higher, due to a small advance at Liver
pool In the face Of Nc decline here yes
terday The Withdrawals from store here
amounted to $4,000 blu, which was as
sumed to be proof Of a good deal more wheae
having been sold for shipment than nad Deen
revealed during the week. OF news OF an
other kind were the heavy Northwestern
receipts, Minneapolis and Duluth reporting
e54 car loads, against 1855 a year ago. and the
favorable weather for the growing crop.
Some weakness followed this. July
opened at INC, against yesterdays closing
price Of 70%c, declining to 7o%@7oAc. New
York wired that the French crop was likely
to show 10 per cent loss in area compared
with last years acreage, and ~ per cent
poorer condition. It was soon apparent tnat
the buying of wheat meant more cash wheat
business for shipment, and $4,000 bu were
reported sold soon after the opening. me
making known of the latter and the repe-
tition Of the crop deficiencies helped to aao
to the buying enthusiasm with which the
market opened, and before II O'Clock July
had advanced to 71A@71hc. Although Ber-
lin and Paris wheat markets sent slightly
lower quotations, it was reported from ST.
Louis that $4,000 blu of hard winter
wheat and $4,000 blu of rye were SOLO
there for shipment to France, ana that
more wheat could have been disposed OF had
the wheat been procurable. Coming upon
TOP of the Liverpool cablegram repeating the
shortage in acreage and poorer condition OF
French wheat crop, the report OF actual
buying Of wheat for shipment TO That coun-
try gave the bears, who were short wheat,
a fresh spasm of repentance, and they rushed
July wheat up to 720721ac in their struggle
for salvation. The closing price lot July
was 72c.
Corn opened easy, unchanged at 241z@24ssc,
sold at 24asc and rallied to 24AQ24Bc, clos
ing at AAc In oats, July opened shade low
er at 17Kc declined to 159s@15Ac recovered to
17X@1Sc, and closed at 17hc bid.
Provisions were without support, ana con-
seuuently heavy without much selling. Al
the close July pork was 11sc lower at $S.2o,
July lard 100 lower at $3.50 and July ribs
nc lower at $780, Estimates: Wheat, 20

ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
Pretty Girl Invari'b1y Appears on
the Street With q Torn Skirt.

Who is the girl with the torn skirt?
Everybody seems to have seen her, yet
nobody can tell who she is. The question
has been asked by every car conductor
in town and by hundreds Of passengers
on every line in the city during the
past two or three weeks, but no one
seems to be able to vouchsafe any in
forma ton that will lead to her identity,
says the st. Louis Republic.
The girl with the torn skirt is the
latest mystery. She is a pretty little
thing, apparently nineteen or twenty
years old, with big black eyes, black
hair, a little above medium height and
possessed Of a Well-modeled form, al
though at first sight she appears to be
rather willowy and slender. She al
ways dresses in the latest fashion and
seems to have both the time and means
to go where she will, yet her skirt is
invariably torn.
No matter whether she wears a shirt
waist with black satin skirt, a suit
Of brown with tan shoes. or is gowned
in bottle green, the skirt always has
a rent in it. The tear is on the left
side about three inches below the band
and slightly toward the front. The fact
that she is stylish in appearance and
her costumes are always up to mode
makes the oddity more conspicuous
The rent is triangular in form, extend
ing couple Of inches down and to-
ward the front and down the back so as
to leave the upper corner Of the tri-
angle hanging loose. It is such tear
as might have resulted from the cloth
catching on nail and could be sewed
up in three minutes, but the question
is, How did the young woman rip all
Of her skirts in the same place and
in exactly the same manner?
When she first made her appearance
on the streets two weeks ago she at
ed how she tore her dress, but now
they are beginning to ask how did all
of her dresses get torn. That not one
of them shows evidence Of ever having
been repaired goes to show that the
girl does not want the rents closed,
but no satisfactory explanation has
been given for the peculiar fad.
A reporter Of the Republic passed
her on Olive street, near Sixth, yester-
day afternoon, and the inevitable torn
place was visible. She was attired in
black satin skirt with a shirt waist
Of dark material and wore a large hat
trimmed with flowers. Ten days ago
the reporter saw the same girl on a
Lindell car and later on the Sixth street
green line, each time wearing a differ
ent dress, but there was the same old
rent in the skirt Of every one Of them.
vealed the fact that she Ia in the habit
of riding on nearly every line in the
city on certain days. She is well be-
haved, of rather a retiring disposition.
was never seen with an escort and
never boarded any car, SO far as
known, in company with another wo-
man.
