CabIed Account of an Archduchess's
Wedding Puzzled the Editor.

New York Times.
A cable dispatch sent from Vienna re-
Gently announced that the Archduchess
Maria Raineria had been married i'm great
state to Duke Robert of Wurtemburg.
A short while afterward there was wall
ing and gnashing of teeth in every news
paper office in New York. 1t is usual when
a royal parsonage marries for a short note
to be printed after the dispatch explaining
his or her relationship to what are known
as the crowned heads"
AS no preliminary news of the engage
ment of the A~rchduchess Maria Raineria"
had been sent, the cable editors consulted
the Almanach de Gotha. There are ten
pages of that famous handbook devoted to
the royal house of Austria
After considerable labor the foreign ex-
pert in one office disinterred the name of
A~rchduchess Maria immaculate Raineria
Josephine Ferdinande Theresa Leopoldine
Antoinette Henrietta Franchise Caroline
Heloise Januaria Christina Philomene Ro-
sale as being the nearest approach 10 that
in the cable dispatch. Then his eve fell on
the word immaculate" in brackets, which
signifies that the lady is known to her init
mate friends and relatives by that desfgna-
ton, and which would have been used In
the dispatch. He tried again.
"Ah, / have it now" he thought. He had
found the Archduchess Marguerite Raineria
Maria Antoinette Blanche Leopoldine Beat
rice Anne Josephine Raphaelle Michele
Stanislawa Ignatie Hieronyma Gamma
Catherine Petra Cecilia. But alas, she was
born in 1882. and could not be the princess
just married.
Guess thy've got one name wrong" he
thought. and looked through the Marias.
The situation was not improved. He had
his choice OF the Archduchess Anna Maria
Theresa Ferdinande Josephine Adelaide
Leopoldine Theresa Louisa Antoinette
FRANCHISE Germana Henrietta Hedwige. the
Archduchess Marguerite Marie Albertine
Alice F~erdinande Louise Antoinette Leo
poldine Roberto Henrietta Theresa Edourd-
inc. and the ~Archduchess Germana Maria
Theresa Antoinette Leopoldine Alice Fer
dinande Josephine Louise Caroline Ehren-
traut Frota. Then he gave II up.
The real name of the archduchess WIN
was married was Elizabeth. The correc-
ton came next day.

TRADE WAS VERY FLAT
GRAIN MARKETS WITHOUT FEA-
TURE AND A FRACTION LOWER.
Strong Undertone in Wheat Holding
1t Steady-Provfsions Dull
and Down All Around.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Grain and provisions
markets were notable for their dizziness to-day.
Wheat closed unchanged. corn &c lower, oats a
shade down and provisions a shade to 2hc de-
pressed.
Wheat pursued the even tenor OF its way. May
opening unchanged at 73Ac, selling between iSsc
and 1850, and closing unchanged at 7SAc. Inc
news received and the statistics posted were OF
a character barely sufficient to cause a ripple
on the placid speculative waters. Cables and
receipts were influential neither one way nor
the other. In the absence of important informa-
ton there. traders preferred to play evea till
the passing OF the holiday season gives them an
opportunity to start the new year
by contingencies which may arise during the
Christmas and New Year cessation of business.
That there is a fairly strong undertone to the
market was made evident to many by the failure
OF the market to respond to the corn decline.
New York reported twenty-four loads taken
for export. seaboard clearances. in wheat and
flour. were equal to $4,000 bu. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bu. compared with $4,000
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
412 cars. against 5s last week and 35 a year
ago. Local receipts were lis cars. % of con-
tract grade.
Corn was no more inclined to the strenuous
life than was it's neighbors. The market ruled
dull till the last fifteen minutes, when what
locked like an organized raid was made, anu
the market turned weak. May sold between 361sc
and 35@kc, closing &c lower at 35Ac. Receipts
offerings We're moderate. Seaboard clearances
were LOSS, 900 blu.
The oats market maintained it's reputation
for dullness, trade being fat from start TO I'm
ish. Receipts were 166 cars. May sold between
25Zc and 23ssc, and closed a shade lower at 23ssc.
Provisions were dull and steady, but inno-
cent OF features in a speculative way. Prices
held mainly because there was no pressure on
the market. January pork sold between $3.50
and Sl2. Is, and closed 214c lower at Sl2.25; jan
uary lard between SO. 80 and s6.S71a. closing 2h2c
down at $6.S71a, and January ribs between s6:2I1a
and Sc. rs, with the close a shade depressed at
So. 25.

LIVE STOCK QUOTATIONS
CATTLE QUIET AND DULL, SELLING
AT BoU PREVIOUS PRICES.
Hogs Fairly Active, with Slight
Condition OF Other Markets.

UNION sToCKYARDs. INDIANAPOLIS.
Dec. Observation-Disclosures. 100; shipments small
There were not many fresh arrivals Of cattle.
and the holdovers were a kind for which there
is practically no demand. consequently the mar
ket was quiet. and IL was rather difficult to
negotiate sales at the recent decline In prices
The receipts this week arc COO larger than last
week, and there is an increase of over $500 thus
far this year. compared with the same period
last year. The trade this week has been less
satisfactory TO statesmen than heretofore this
season. The market was oversupplied with COM
mon to medium cattle Of all kinds. and the trade
having been well supplied out of former liberal
receipts OF that class OF stock. there was a very
Indifferent demand this week. and IL was diff
cult to consummate sales at reduced prices
Female butcher stuff suffered most, and at the
close of the week was fully sc lower than the
close Of last week Fancy cattle did not snow
| a great deal Of change in prices. but a good class
OF steers were at least 1oG15c lower. The great
difference buyers are making on account OF
quality was shown yesterday, when fat cattle,
weighing nearly 400 lbs, sold at S475, and
Christmas beeves Of the same average as high
as Sc. On account of the approaching holidays
dealers are not expecting any urgent demand
next week. but lighter receipts and some i'm
provement in quality will have a tendency to
strengthen values. Quotations.:
Good to prime steers, 1850 lbs and up
