GENERAL CHAFFEE Is
 ORDERED TO CHINA
(Contlnued From First Page.)

presence of more troops in China is neces- sary when she arrives at Nagasaki they will be sent direct to She Foo. This will make two regiments for that place.
 If further troops are needed they will be ordered promptly. General Chaffee will be in command of all the American military forces in the Chinese empire, but in view of the-fact that conditions may change ma- terially before he arrives there there is reluctance in official quarters to indicate just what his powers are. Should nothing be heard from Pekin before General Chaf- fee arrives at Che Foo there seems no doubt but that he will be directed to start for the beleaguered city with the full force under his command, but it is believed that news will be received from Pekin before that time.

CHICAGO, January 12.-The trade
in provisions was the feature on the
Board of Trade to-day, light hog re-
ceipts and advanced prices at the yards
combining to give the market a tone
of decided strength. May pork closed
1Oc; May lard 21a@ 5c and May ribs
sc over yesterday. Wheat was dull
and heavy, weakened by disappointing
cables and the heavy Argentine ship
ments, May closing A@%c down.
Corn closed a shade higher and oats
unchanged.
The provisions market was strong
all day. Receipts at the yards were
under the estimate and prices up. IN
itial figures showed a gain about
equal to that shown at the close. At
advanced figures the demand was ex-
cellent from all sources. The market
was active and broad. The demand
from the South retained it's recently
developed vigor and the outside trade
generally was on a large scale. Infu-
email local houses were good buyers,
largely of lard and ribs. At no time
was there any pressure to sell. Offer
ings were nearly all from profit takers.
May pork ranged from SO 90 to II 121k

The liberal Argentine shipments and
crop conditions in that country were
the main factors In depressing wheat
that market barely holding it's own
though it had strong corn and provis-
ions market for near neighbors. The
decline at Liverpool In the face of the
advance here yesterday was a disap-
pointment to the bulls and encourag-
ed selling. At one time a little buying
by shorts was caused by stories OF a
somewhat better cash demand and an
improved inquiry for export -four but
this did not last. The volume of bust
ness was small and the session not
active. A sale of 1890 bushels from
here to Hamburg was reported. The
seaboard reported twenty loads taken
for export. Primary receipts were
39S, 600 bushels, compared with $4,000
last year. Receipts were 48 cars, eight
OF contract grade. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 1874 cars against 453
last week and 504 a year ago. Port
clearances wheat and -four eQualled
40, 900 bushels.
Corn was firm. There was a good
crowd in the pit and some improve
ment in the commission business.
Aside from a bit of uneasiness felt
at the opening in sympathy with
wheat the market was firm through
out. The main consideration on the
buying side was the small country Of
ferings and the poor weather for
movement with the strength of pro-
visions a c%ontributary factor. The
volume of trade vas not large. There
was considerable talk of feeders going
wild over corn" and it was generally
reported that the demand from this
source was backed with more tempting
prices than shippers have been effer-
ing.
Receipts here were 415 cars. May
ranged from 33Nto kc closing a shade
over yesterday at 1880.
The oats market was firm. Cash bids
were sharp relatively hc better than
last weeks. Sympathy with the
strength of corn was a factor in the
firmness as was a Philadelphia report
of a demand for American oats to
feed British cavalry horses in South
Africa. Receipts here were 214 cars.
May sold from 24c to 24Ac, closing
unchanged from yesterday at FAC. Es-
timated receipts tomorrow:

swect1y Demure Little Dexfxn
which Can be Worn on All Nice
Occasions.
Three pompons fastened to a band
of wired velvet constitute the TRIM
mfngs of this toque. In fact the de-
sign seems hardly mor than a head
dress there is such a little of II. The
pompons are not placed in succession,
hut are arranged so that there is q dark
Background to add tone to the bright
balls that are placed at the front.
Black is the color universally used
for the background. A huge pompon
of black tulle is made first and fastened
upon the narrow foundation. With
this can be associated pompons OF pas
tel blue, cream violette, conch shell
pink or eau de Nil, which is indeed the
prettiest of all.
A little deception is brought into play
to complete the effect OF the head
dress. The neck is finished with a bow
of Brussels net which is tied close under
the chin as if it terminated the strings
upon tie bonnet; and there is no obvi-
Gus reason why the little affair should
not have strings, since they are much
In vogue. But they have not, and that
is the most logical statement that can
he made regarding the deficiency.
