had more or less to do in determining the
character of the statement. The gains
and losses in totals are confined for the
NEST part to a few of the larger banks.
The main fact which the exhibit sets forth
is that the banks have rounded the usual
spring period with large available re-
serve. From this time on, gains rather
than losses will be the rule. 1t is expected
that money will be flowing this way very
shortly and domestic exchange at various
interior points is now at par or a pre-
MUM, after having sold at discount for
some weeks. The rise of sterling ex-
change to international parity merely re-
fleets the preparations for the Spanish
settlement. 1t is hoped to complete this
payment by drawing against our balance
abroad. If this is done. the banks here
will gain to the full amount of the fund,
until the treasury calls for it again. In

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Bulls Lost Their Grip On the Wheat
MarIre+

Chicago, April 1.-The prevalence of
wintry weather was the governing in
fluence in wheat at the start and as a
ruined wheat crop became the leading
thought. buyers were very much in the
ascendant. May opened ss62tc higher. at
from 1872 up to "a cents, and rose quickly
to Az. In the meantime July which
opened at from 1874 to 1874, had crawled
up to TAX.
The minimum temperatures reported
from the winter wheat sections were all
below. the freezing point, and indications
were for contin ed unreasonable weather
Worlds shipments during the week were
estimated at about 100000 gushels or
900 bushels in excess of the European
requirements. The heavy northwest re-
ceipts and comparative weakness of the
New York market were the chief factors
on the bear side of the market The New
York weakness was interpreted as a re-
Election on the bearish feeling abroad.
The market was subject to many changes
during the session, according as crop dam
age or present abundance predominated
in the minds of spectators. The crop
news was generally of a gloomy char
acter, the exception being a report by the
Modern Miller, q st. Louis publication,
which claimed that Notwithstanding pre-
vailing unfavorable news and backward
ness of the season, there would be an
average yield of winter wheat. Toward
the end of the session the bulls lost their
grip on the market and May, after many
yicissitudes, declined to 729s. 1t closed at
7234. July sold twice during the day as
high as 741s and down to 1872. On the next
bulge it reached "A, but dropped back to
721S, closing at 72%.
A good speculative business was done
in corn, but the market was exceptionally
choppy. Country offerings We're said to
be increasing and the bull crowd became
disguised. May lost Bd1 cent
Oats We're firm early. When corn broke,
however. oats followed in a half-hearted
way losing the slight advance and a lit
tie more with it. Oats closed 14c lower.
The decline in corn had a disheartening
influence in provisions, preventing buyers
from giving any support to the market;
May pork closed unchanged and lard

CHARACTER IN THE TONGUE.
A p.rasaan Madcmohelle Has Intro
ihuced This Novel Art, and
Calls II Glossomancie.

Glossomancie is new science" In
troduced by Miss Erbere No, of Paris,
consisting Of reading the character by
the form and size of the tongue.
The guiding principles are as follows:
II the tongue is long it is an Indication
of frankness; II 1t is short, of dissimu-
lation; Tit is broad, of expansiveness;
II narrow, of concentration.
When the tongue is both long and
large 1t implies that the posscssor is a
great gossip, frnnk to disagreeableness,
and thoughtlcss. If the tongue be long
and narrow its owner is only half
frank, thinking as much MS is uttered,
but not always uttering all that is
thought.
If the tongue be short and broad
there is promise of plenty of gossip
and falsehoods; It talks great deal,
but says little of what is really
thought.
II short and narrow it indicates deep
cunningand lying; impenetrability and
prudence. This tongue belongs to those
persons always ready to make mis-
takes. but eager to inspire confidence.
SO, then. not the physician alone is to
be guided by the tongue. but before
you become intimate with anyone, ask
him or her to put out his or her tongue,
that you may be certain whether they
are to be trusted or not.

CROW WINTER RESORT.
Greedy Missouri BIRD, n...L m,....
by Their Weight andTry to De-
vour Drove of Hoss,

Southwest Missouri and southeast
Kansas is the mostpopular winter crow
resort In the world, according to the
residents of that part Of the country.
What becomes of the greedy birds in
tho summer no one knows.
Il all the crows that winter In this
part OF the country were to stay here
during the planting season they would
devour every tender shoot of corn as
fast as 1t appeared.
The biggest crow roost in the United
States was near Bois dare, Mo-, this
winter. 1t was like pigeon roost, in
the respect that the weight of the crows
broke the timber over acres of wood
land. Millions Of tho birds gathered
there every night.
During one Of the heavy storms this
winter some stock shippers had q singu-
lar experience with the crows at Ash
Grove, Mo. The trains were delayed,
on account Of the snow, and a lot of
hogs could not be shipped for several
days. The crows were starving, for the
snow and sleet prevented them from
getting their usual food. They at
tackled the hogs, lighting on the backs
of the fat animals and pecking holes in
the bodies of the helpless porkers. The
owncr of the hogs bought a lot Of am
munition, and employed all the boys he
could secure to shoot the crows.
But for the work of the gunners
many of the hogs would have been de-
voured on their feet. ~

MATCHMAKING IN JAPAN.

There exists in Japan, among some of
the classes, certain custom of hiring a
midwoman, nakodn, or professional
matchmaker, in order to make an en-
gagement between couple, writes
Onoto Watanna In the April Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t often happens that
family will desire an alliance with an
other family with whom they are not
intimately acquainted. Then arc tho
services Of the professional match
maker Invaluable. To be successful in
such a profession one must never be
known as such to the family she de-
sires to court. Very often nakodas and
midwomen follow this profession for
years and yet are not known as such
save to those who have employed them.
Most of the matchmakcrs are very hon
est, and 1t is their duty to discover all
the good and bad points of the couple
and point them out to tho parents; they
give good advice and do everything pos
siblc to promote the happiness Of the
pair. They travel back and forth to the
