CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in

CHICAGO, Feb. 26-For q few moments
after the start wheat, compared with the
weakness it developed later, was fairly
steady. July started sc lower to IA higher
at from S9h to S91ac. and May 1kc lower.
at LOB. Letters brokers appeared to have
some supporting orders in July at the
start, and for this reason that month
showed steadiness when May weakened
badly. Trading in May was very light
There were good many more selling
orders than the limited demand could take
care of, the result being a decline to 1O115.
Liverpool was from I'D to 5sd lower and
crop reports from California and India,
especially from the latter country. were
very favorable. The weakness which de-
veloped In May soon was reflected in July
Ihere was a good deal of selling out by peo-
pie who had been 'tailing" on the Letter
campaign and who had become discour-
aged by the recent downward turn to the
market, and prices, in spite of the Letter
support, declined steadily. At around SSIsc

The Prince of Wales Dinner Table

Good taste reigns over all the arrange
ments. Thus, the table cloths are severe
ly plain, though of the finest quality
and simply worked with the royal arms
the rose, the thistle and the shamrock
while the table napkins are invariably
folded into a small square to hold the
bread, and never in the fancy shapes in
vogue elsewhere. To each guest two
forks, and no more, are provided and
these are placed prongs downward. In
addition there are one large tablespoon
and one large knife, for in no circum-
stances are two knives together given to
any guest. A great many reasons have
been assigned for this rule, but appar-
emily has summoned up the courage tc
ask their royal host and hostess. 1t has
been asserted that his royal highness
has the old-fashioned dislike to seeing
knives inadvertently crossed. Several
small water bottles are used, but the
princess holds to the Hanoverian habit
of never having finger bowls. At Marl-
borough house dinner begins at S:45, and
is never allowed to last much over ar
hour Occasionally during dinner sof,
music is played. The menu is always
served a la Russe-that is to say, nothins
is carved in the dining room. - "Oul

PIN HOLES IN THE CHECKS
Only One of the Cashiers Precautions
That Was Overlooked

In the course of lecture delivered re-
Gently on chemical tests used in discov-
ering by the ink the age Of documents,
and whether there have been interpola-
tions, Prof. C. A. Doremus told of a Gu
rious discovery in the case of raised
check made by his father, who is an
expert in chemistry and in documents.
The interests involved in this case were
very large, and it was not practicable
that the original check should be tam
pered with or chemically treated. For
purposes of testimony an enlarged pho
tograph of the check was taken by DR.
Doremus, who was first called as an ex-
pert in the case. The first trial resulted
in no decision, and on the second trial
what purported to be the original check
was produced. 1t was handed to the
cashier of the bank for identification
He examined it and said:
This Is not the original check"
"How do you know that?" demanded
the amazed lawyer.
Because in the heading of the origna
check l pricked a hole in the center OF
each of the 'o's' with pin," was the re-
ply. "This check has not those holes"
In all other respects the check seemed
to be identical. The court called for DR.
Doremus' photograph to be produced
1t plainly showed the pin holes. Upor
this the lawyer for the defense threw
| up his case, and the guilty substitutol
of the false check fled the country-New
| York Sun.
