settled herself in an easy and confident
attitude as she awaited the reply.
There was a merry little twinkle in
the maiden's eye as she answered:
Sometimes he calls me Marie Cher
mother looked shocked), some times he
calls me Dearest Cher mother straight
ened up in the chair). sometimes he
calls me Dear Heart cher mother sat
bolt upright). and sometimes he calls
me Darling"
Then it was that her mother fell in
a faint. She is sorry now that she was
so mischievously communicative. for
her mother has a mind of her own,
and she doesn't approve of modern
ideas.

A RALLY BY THE BEARS
A CENT OF THURSDAYS ADVANCE IN
WHEAT LOST AT CHICAGO.
Liverpool Market Failed to Respond
Pronounced Weakness Set In.

CHICAGO, May "A cent Of yesterdays
advance in wheat disappeared in the course
of the proceedings to-day The Liverpool
market played an important part in the de-
cline. as did the absolute lack of export
demand. Other markets We're duh and ir-
regular corn declining Ac oats about the
same, while provisions closed unchanged to
&C higher
In wheat Liverpool did not sufficiently in
dorse the bullshness that prevailed here
the day before, and for that reason the
price suffered a considerable decline to be-
gin with July, which closed yesterday
worth 7112c, opened from Tic down to 70$4c.
For about five minutes the course of prices
swung between 711sc and 7O7Sc, but in an
hour July had reached 1Bc. The rise was
helped along by the Liverpool market be-
coming tirmer than it opened and by it be-
ing made known that considerably more
wheat than reported had been sold to do
nestle millers yesterday. In addition New
York sent dispatches to the effect that buy
ing orders from points in the United King
dom outside of Liverpool were plentiful.
All the fine promises of the first hour began
melting away as soon as the buyers who
had loaded themselves tried to find Gus
toners for their holdings. The recovery

down, until it had all disappeared, and
about an hour from the end of the session
the price had got as low as 7012c. The
closing cabegrams showed advances both
at Liverpool and on the continent, but not
what was expected in view of yesterdays
local strength. The cash business done
here for shipment to domestic millers footed
up 215,C00 bu, but nothing was reported
taken for export, and perhaps this was the
real cause of the decline. July wheat fell
to 70$sc and closed at 7012c.
Corn was easy but yielded only a small
fraction Notwithstanding a good many at
temps to start stampede with the en-
enlargement given by breaking wheat
market July opened 1sc lower at 2424c, de-
clined to 243sc, recovered again to 24S4c and
closed at 215sc bid. Exports were light at
2S8 600 bu, and the market was dull through
out.
Market for oats was dull and inactive up
to within a short time of the close Then
continued selling caused considerable ac-
tiVity. There good deal of changing
from July to September. The weakness was
mostly in sympathy with wheat, July
opened 1sc lower at 173sQ1713c, sold at 173sc
and declined to 1850, where it closed.
Provisions We're dull but firm and closed
at the best prices of the day. The market
was inclined to easiness at the opening, fol-
lowing the grain markets, but sufficient
support was given to cause a slight ad-
vance. AT the close July pork was 21sc
higher at $685. July lard unchanged at
$4.0712 and July ribs sc higher at $40.
Estimated receipts for Saturday-Wheat,
II cars; corn, 245 cars; oats, 255 cars; hogs,
5000 head.
