TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Il
WHEAT-St the month in q con-
dition bordering closely on demoraliza-
ton, so great was the pressure to unload
The weak opening at Liverpool was the
principal cause of the weakness as the
local market had experienced a substan-
tial recovery. Saturday the opening de-
cline at Liverpool was totally unex pected
and scramble to unload enSued at the
tap of the opening trade Initial trades
in May covered q. wide range. sales being
reported all the way from 73s4c to 744c,
Most of the trading was done at the lower
of the quotations. and decline to 1870
1850 ensued Immediately Then followed
a nervous recovery to 73240I731sc, as shorts
covered their lines which was succeeded
by a plunge which carried the market
lower than it had been before to 73Ssc. or
a break of 214c from Saturdays final fig
ures. Then for while the uproar sub
sided, the prices recovered to 1855 73s4 c,
S the pressure was removed, May sell
ing at that price at the end of the first
hourSS trading.
CORN-Sympathized with the opening
break in wheat. but only for a short time
Covering by shorts caused prices to re-
cover. Local receipts were more liberal
than of late, amounting to 4S4 cars. May
opened 14c lower at 237sd24c and rallied
to 241sc.
OATS-Were easy at the opening in
sympathy with wheat and corn. Shorts
covered literally and the market rallied.
May opened 14c lower at 119sc and recov-
cred to 171s0I1Sc.
PROVISIONS slow and easy,
yard prices and packers and shorts We're
free sellers. May pork opened TIC lower
at S7s212- May lard 21zc lower at 1850
3.9712. May ribs PIC lower at 39112.

1owcases and sheets, and also towels.
Nearly all of these useful articles are
hemmed an inch to an inch and half
wide in open hemstitch work. Few
towels except the Turkish and buck are
fringed. No one uses pillowshams any
more, but the pillows are made large
and nearly square, and the cases are so
nicely made that they look far prettier
than the shams did. With the passing
of the pillowsham died the sheet sham
or sham sheet, whichever one likes to
call it, and the incest sheets are now
made two yards and three-quarters long,
the upper part being hemstitched with
a hem at least three inches deep. The
initial or monogram of the owner is
embroidered just above the hem in the
center
Table linen is produced mostly in
floral designs this season, like moss rose
buds, carnations or clover blossoms,
with leaves. Each of these designs is
about three inches long, and there is a
foot wide border of closer weave bear
ing the same floral pattern interviewer
with foliage. The surface is like satin.
In setting a table few now use colored
centerpieces. Napkins and doilies match
each pattern in the tablecloth. Polka
dots in graduated sizes are also produced
in one design. The tablecloths and tray
cloths and all those fancy little scraps
of linen work which women love to put
on their tables are hemstitched wher-
ever they can be, but so far I have seen
no napkins done in this way.
A letter from private source in Paris
tells me that the Vatican and Dolly
Warden styles are going to be worn in
the summer. They are pert and coquet-
fish, and we shall doubtless find them
pretty and desirable
The patterns shown in the advance
samples of challie, chintz, percale and
dimity would be just the right things
for such gowns as we see them pictured.
The trussed up overdress is very becom-
ing to all figures.
The newest cotton goods now on view
for summer are organizes i'll new de-
signs and colors, printed and tinted
dinities, challies, both cotton and
wooden, and the thin batistes and pine
apple linens. The batistes vary so little
from those SO popular last season that
one might think them the same, but
second glance shows new color schemes
belonging strictly to this season no.

MAGNANIMOUS RUSSIA.
She Never Interferes With the Affairs
of Other Nations.

New York, Feb IA dispatch to the
Herald from st. Petersburg says: The
Glasnost which of late seems to have
been especially inspired, concerning the
Little eastern question-as the Turk
ish question is called here, in contra
distinction to the greater eastern queS-
tion-speaking of COrea, says: Russia
cannot descend to the pillage of Turkey
together with Turkeys other creditors.
Russia has given Turkey a hundred
years to pay her war indemnity of g.,
900, 600 rOubles a year.
Russia has shown she knows how to
be magnanimOus, nor does France wish
to exchange the interests in her pocket
for Russia'S friendship.
Russia always shows the same ira
ditional policy-namely, not to inter
fere with the international affairs of
other countries"

peppers these days, as they all seem to
have burst out into a great array of
white garments. This, to the experience

virtually over, as far as any decided
