He was willing, however, to 20 into the
second case against Mrs. Hopkins, which
charged her with stealing towels, lace and
dress goods to the value of $1,000 fIom
the Palais Royal.
When arraigaed Oh this charge Mrs. Hop
kins smilingly pleaded guilty, and was
fined SO, which her husband paid.
In the other case, stealing fifteen towels
from the Capitol with the words u. s..
Senate woven in them, she waived ex-
animation through her attorney. The case

bonds, which were furnished, and Mrs.
Hopkins walked out into the sunlight on the
arm of her husband after a weeks incaT-
ceration. She firmly maintains her purpose
to suffer punishment for the ofreuse rather
than ufsusv the name of the statesman
who gave her the towels, and who, it is
rumored, will furnish the money TO pay
whatever penalty may be assessed.

Wheat has been very active and
strong. The foreign demand has been
first class for the past ten days,
European buyers having taken about
100000 bu. Of cash wheat and nearly
as much of futures. For this reason the
market has been very strong and the
bears have been unable to make any
impression in trying to drive the mar
ket down. The wheat situation is very
strong and wheat should be bought on
all little reactions. The price has not
began to advance as yet.
Corn has been rather active and very
strong on reports of damage by hot
winds in Kansas, Missouri and Ne
Draska. September corn is a good pur-
chase this side of 3Oc and will sell I'D
to 35c within the next six weeks. 1t
should be bought right now and held
for good profit.
