CHICAGO MARKET

Cereals

CHICAGO, May 17.-After a rather wide
fluctuat!on, wheat closed weak Peace ru-
mors had some influence, but there was
apparently very clear evidences that Letter
brokers were disposed to sell all the July
market would take. Early Liverpool ca
bles were 1a@ssd. higher for July. The
heavness of the domestic receipts, howev-
err. overshadowed In the minds of traders
the Liverpool advance. The weather map
indicated higher temperature throughout
the west. Heavy rains fell in the north.
west, where most needed. The California
crop has freshened up wonderfully since
last Saturday Reports from Russia say
that the state of winter wheat In that
country is generally satisfactory only a
few of the central districts having suf-
fered. July opened unchanged at 109A
ranged from 100 to Ito. declined to LOT,
and rallied to LOS bid at the close. Sep
TENDER opened Nc lower, at 91hc, sold up
to 92c. reacted to $3.50, and closed at 89Nc
bid. May closed at 1.49la asked.
Corn was depressed by more favorable
weather conditions and poor cash demand.
July closed nc lower.
The oats trade was inconseQuential. July
closed with a loss of Nc.
Provisions made two turns today--weak
at the opening, strong later. showing an
advance of 30c over yesterdays final quo
tations, caused by good buying and closed
weak. The close for July pork was 22iac
lower, lard tic lower, and ribs zoe lower.

sented an improvement in the technical

number Of stocks which enjoy the special
support of friends and inside interests, and
these impaired firmness by sympathy to
the rest OF the market. The combination
OF these circumstances made the bulls feel
warranted In pushing up the prices of their
favorites without waiting for more def
mite developments of the naval situation

evidence of any large outside interests, and
any stacking Of the professional demand

ON THE TURN OF A CARD
How q Young Spanish Woman Became
LOYAL American

Two of the boarders at fashionable up
town hosiery are pretty young Spanish
woman and prosperous young Philadel-
phia business man. Several months ago, or
before the destruction Of the Maine made
the situation between this country and
Spain serious one, the two became en-
gagged, and, to their credit be it said, the
AFFAIR was love match pure and simple.
Well, when the war begun the young BUSH
ness man was in continual hot water. He
is patriotic to the core, and yet he thinks
there is no girl In the world equal to his
1ancee. She, despite her promise to be-
come an Americans wife, Is as Spanish In
her sentiments as she could possibly be,
and she has not hesitated to speak right out
in meeting.
Finally things became so warm that the
young fellow could stand 1t no longer, and
ne told his fiancee so. She received the
news gravely at first and then laughed.
III tell you what let's do" she said: you
love the United States and love Spain.
But we both love each other better than
either of us loves our country Have you
got pack of cards" The young man, Just
little bit bewildered over the queer turn
affairs had taken, hunted up some cards.
NOW continued the young woman, I'm
going to deal until turn up jack II you
get 1t, you give up your American senti-
ments for my sake. If get it, I'll give up
my love OF Spain for your sake. Will you
agree?" The young man demurred at first.
but finally. catching a roguish CLEAN in his
fancee's eye, consented. The cards were
dealt. and 10! the first jack fell to the young
woman. "Henceforth am an American"
she exclaimed, throwing herself into her
lovers arms. and those who know pr say
that since that day she has been as good a
citizen of the United States as any woman
can be.
The Spanish girls intended has confided
to friend that he doesn't know exactly
just how 1t all happened, but he has good
reason for believing that his fiancee dealt
the jack to herself from the bottom Of the
pack or had it up her disqualification

Queer Ways Of Mountaineers

An official Of a bank in Tennessee says:
'The farmers Of the mountains nearly all
have deposit in our bank. which ranges
from small amount to several thousand
dollars. The deposit is a time one, that
we pay interest on, and generally once in
two years they draw all of their money out
and take 1T home. In a week or ten days
they return with their money, which they
deposit again. Their reason for this is
explained by the fact thatrthey desire to
take their money home and show 1t to their
families as an evidence that they have It,"

Spanish Booksellers Suspend

Bookselling In Spain, never a highly

from the present general depression of

quence OF the extraordinary rise in ex-
change. they do not intend, 'for the time
being" to meet drafts on them or to make
payments DUE AS soon as peace is re-
established and exchange becomes nor

that the committee on judiciary of the
legislature has voted to report the bill for
the Torrens system of land transfers. The
Governor William E. Russell In 1891 and
the subject has been before every succeed

consideration provides an entire system

There Is some hope that the bill may be-
come law. The principal opposition to
1t comes from real estate lawyers.
