CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, April 19.-The action of con-
gress appeared to the traders in wheat as
making war with Spain inevitable, and
the price for July delivery opened at an
advance of from IA to 1ssc over the clos
ing figures of the day before. Liverpool
grain men took the same view of the sit
uation, and sent higher quotations. The
still further stimulated the buyers abroad,
Liverpool closing with gains in futures of
from SD. to I'D. A cargo of American
wheat sold in London today at $1.2O
bushel. Liverpool reported a large con-
sumptive business being done, milers hav-
Ing a large sale for their -four and con-
tinental buyers outbidding the United
Kingdom for Indian wheat. News of this
character created an extremely nervous
temper in the pit. July broke &c on real
lzing Immediately after the opening, but
slowly recovered from S7h to SSI where 1t
held for some time. A second bulge to

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, April 19.-There are men
IN wall street who still believe that not
gun will be fired in war between the
United States and Spain. 1t is difficult to
find what they base this assumption on,
but they hold it with sufficient tenacity to
refuse to sell out their holdings in securi-
ties, and they buy additional securities
at any material decline. These buyers
were in the market at the opening today,
and they sustained prices above the Lon
don parity. thus inviting sales from ar
Dltrage houses, on account of many thou
sand shares of international securities
which had been bought in London at the
lower prices ruling there. The early de-
eiines IN LONDON showed practical aban-
comment OF the hopes of peace, and the
Spanish fours. both In London and Paris
cropped per cent. This weakness of
spanish securities was especially demor-
alizing in Paris. Support accorded Amer
leans in New York against the opening
here without change in sentiment in Lon
don and also in Berlin. and later dealings
there witnessed recovery in Americans,
| though the Spanish bonds continued to
drop. This tendency continued in London
even after the close of the exchange in tTie
trading trat on the street. It was a tendency
that gave color to the belief in certain
circles in Wall street that Spain is pre-
pairing to relinquish Cuba as a last re-
sort. The selling here for London account
was nevertheless sufficient to effect de-
tional stocks led in the trading. and nearly
al showed declines of a point or upward.
The bear traders were to some extent
causing slight rally from the lowest
or liquidation. Dealings were slightly
larger than yesterday, and were much bet
ter distributed. but the market was still

She Took Cuban Licorice

A lady went into Main-street drug store
on Saturday and handed the clerk slip of
paper.
"a friend told me to get that for my little
girls cough" she said.
The clerk read aloud the writing on the
paper:
zone stick of Spanish licorice."
"Oh' exclaimed the woman, 'is that
what it says on the paper? On, if you
please, can't you let me have American lie
orice? My husband is that set against
Spaniards that if / brought Spanish licorice
into the house he'd raise such row there d
be no living with him. If you haven't got
any American licorice, can't you let me
have French licorice or German ncorice, or
any kind except Spanish icorice?"
How would some Cuban licorice do?"
asked the clerk, as he winked at the doctor
who was present
"Oh. that will do all right" eagerly re-
piled the woman. my husband says the
Cubans are hot stuff
So the clerk wrapped up piece of licor-
ice, and the woman departed, smiling

A $16O Hair Cut

Baron Steengract is properly considered
the most extravagant man in all Hol-
land the home of economy and the safe
haven of thrift. Perhaps it is because
the gay baron lives in London most of the
time that he has acquired the habit of
extravaganza. He patronizes the barber
shop of Truefitt. famous shaver in the
Burlington Arcade, where London dandies
since Beau Brummel's time have been
shorn of locks and boards. A telegram
was received by Truefitt few days ago
from the baron, dated at st. Petersburg
suying that he would be in Berlin at a
certain hotel on such a date, and desired
that man be sent from Truefitt's to cut
his hair. The man was sent as desired
and cut the barons hair. returning to
London the following day. The baron
promptly paid the bill. amounting to e33,
or about SlG0. which covered the expense
of the trip. and was perhaps the largest
amount ever paid for u single hair cut

the beginning of the week was not unfa-
