PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The bears had
their innings on Change to-day.
There was heavy liquidation in both
corn and provisions and selling of
wheat on the fine weather. Oats fol-
lowed corn. The grain markets closed
steady at the decline, but provisions
seemed inclined towards weakness.
May wheat closed 1s@Ac, May corn
%@%c, May oats A0asc under yes
terday and provisions from cents
down in ribs to 80, cents lower in
pork.
May wheat opened A@hc improved
at 67A@67asc to 671sc, under the in
fuence of better cables than expected
and the decreased Argentine ship
ments. For brief time trade was
fairly active and the tone firm. Not
much trade developed, however. The
weather was excellent from a crop
raiser's standpoint and the early corn
strength began to ebb. Under these
conditions many of the pot crowd took
to the selling side and May relapsed
to $3.50. The liberal western receipts
also cut some figure in the decline. At
the bottom, however, the shipping bus
mess picked up a bit and, helped by
the covering of shorts, May recovered
to $3.50, and closed steady 1s@Ac I'M
der Saturday at 66A @66Bc New York
reported Is loads taken for export.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and
flour were equal to 81, 900 bushels.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels,
compared with 465,000 bushels last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 4S4 cars, against 436 last week
and 419 year ago. Receipts here
were 81 cars, five of contract grade.
Argentine shipments were 1856, 900
bushels. Corn began the session with
vigor and strength. Cables were con-
sidered encouraging, receipts were
light and there was a good trade.
May opened steady at 41@41Ac. But
another bull day was not to be. Some
very influential longs went into the
pit for profits; Liverpool reported that
corn was being resold at prices under
American offers and New York Joined
in the bear chorus with a little stanza
to the effect that continental bids were
falling off decidedly. The liquidation
which showed the effect of these con-
ditions dragged May back to 1850. A
rally followed the slump, shorts COW
ering. May reacted to 4OAc, at which
the market closed in a steady condi-
ton 5s@&c under yesterday. New
York reported 80 loads taken for ex-
port. Primary receipts were $4,000
bushels, compared with 361 900 bushels
year ago. Receipts here were 353
cars.
1t was sad day for pork. That
article practically lost it's premium
and interest centered entirely in May
ribs. The market was affected by
lower prices for hogs at the yards and
by liquidation. The profits were too
temptingly handsome to be further
jeopardized and much long stuff came
out The decline brought out, many

FINANCE AND TRADE.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Com
mercial Advertisers London financial
cablegram says:
The markets here were very slack
and dull in tone. The war news came
too late to exercise an influence, but
consols were down sic and the war
loan is now at premium of 17s.
Americans were very idle and weak
throughout the session. 1t would have
been difficult to sell large amounts
without a heavy break. There was an
attempted rally on New York's open
ing. but it failed and prices closed at
the bottom. The sharpest fall was in
Southern Pacifics. London is disposed
to take profits all round and is nerv-
Gus lest New York realized on its
favorites. If this does not happen a
revival is probable after Easter. Cop
pers were fiat and easy, but recovered
later. Tintos were So 11-16@59as;
Anacondas 10h@1O%. Speculation in
both shares appears to have been over
done.

Polls Wonderland Thenter,

People laughed until their sides were sore at Polls last night at Mark Murphy struggling in the throes of second sight and telling fortune that brought him cash galore. "The Seventh Son." in which MT. and Mrs. Mark Murphy are leading the bill this week, is a droll fresh sketch with Mark as the ex- pressman' and a big trunk playing an important part. The sketch finishes with a cyclone of fun. The Seven Reed Birds are unquestionably star favorites here. It is a pleasant sight to watch this happy family. Old Dave Reed, well known to theatergoers of two decades ago. is as jovial as ever, and he may we'll feel proud of his talented family. And by the way Mrs. Reed is Just as lively as the youngest of them. The sketch is "The Morning after the Ball' in which both dialogue and music are the work of Dave Reed, jr., the popular young writer and song composer.

ENTERTAINING.
IsYnerton Theater.

Jerome Sykes, the star of the great Klaw 6 Erlanger Opera company, | which will presnet DeKoven & Smiths s new comic opera, Foxy Quiller," at the Hyperion theater tomorrow even ing, for the first time on any stage, is a Washington boy. He made his first appearance on the stage, however, in the "Mikado" in Baltimore. But like
 all comedians MT. Sykes had designs on the legitimate and for five long weary years he travelled with a company play
 ing the "heavies" in an almost endless
 chain of dramas. As he expresses 1t:
 T played the limit, from the king in
 Hamlet" to the bark in the tree In the Hearts of Oak" I've known what it was to have four good square meals a day, and have been so hungry, that
 my diaphragm wrapped itself around my spinal column like thin mans
 ulster on windy day. There were days of trials and tribulations, but they taught MT. Sykes how to act and, as he had @ glorious voice, it wasn't long before the Bostonians engaged him to share the principal comedian's honors with MT. Barnabee. He re- mained with "The Bostonians" several seasons and then created the role of Foxy Quiller" in "The Highwayman," one of the greatest and most delight ful contributions to the characters of comic opera. Later he sang season in ''The Three Dragons" and last year he starred in Chris and the Wonderful Lamp" MT. Sykes is a comedian who can act, and singer who can sing. He is a buffo and not a buffoon. His success is all the more gratifying be- caused 1t has been attained by purely legitimate methods. Foxy Quiller'' will be sung only Wednesday, Thurs day. Friday and Saturday, with matinee on the latter date only. Seats now one sale. Prices $1,50 $1, 75c.

AN EPISODE OF CAMPAIGNING.

The Orators Seat Was Glued to the
 Chair-IIe Finished in Overalls.
 The meanest scalawag in Michigan lives over in Augusta township Wash , tenaw county, and we'll proceed to I prove it. Hank Smith was billed to | speak at a school-house near Whitoomb 1 when republican club was to be or | ganized. The room was damned full
 of men, women and children little platform had been temporarily ar-
 ranged for the orator of the evening, surmounted by single chair, the seat of which some miscreant had covered
 with fresh glue. In this chair, to which he was conducted, Flank" sat down, | not Knowing it was loaded. Meantime l the burghers proceeded with their | work, and an hour was consumed be- | fore the officers were elected and the | job finished. The new president then stepped forward and introduced "the present and the next congressman of this district, the Hon. Henry c. Smith
 of Adrian
 MT. Smith got up and so did the chair. He tried to shake 1t off by a hip
 wriggle This failed. He reached down
 and tried to pry it off with his fingers, but without success. He pulled sturdi- ly at the rear to force it to let go, but it wouldn't do anything of the kind. He now skaelt a rodent. The president
 seeing his predicament, stepped up and gave the thing such tug, that Smith in alarm, but in an undertone said:-
 Hold on, Ferguson, you'll tear the cloth away, and you can see my coat is a short sack, and there are ladies present."
 The audience now tumbled to the sit uation, and instantly burst into thun- dering guffaws. The room became bed- lam of laughter-convulsed lunatics. Women screamed and children whoop- ed, while able-bodied men lay down on the benches and roaded. The hilarity was catching, and soon Hank, genial hearted and fun-loving, as he was, sat down, leaned back and joined the deaf ening chorus. Finally, waving his hand, the crowd became sufficiently quiet to hear him say, T came here to speak my peace, and I'll do it, though the whole school-house was glued to me" Then he got up again, and half bent over, with the chair dangling be- hind, waded in. At every motion he made the chair would bump up and down on the floor or swing against the wall, or strike the table holding the lamp. Of course the crowd laughed when he joked, and laughed when he didn't joke. At last the speaker said:
 Ladies and gentlemen, I must rest. my back is about broken" and sat l down. At this an old fellow ran out, and, trotting across the way to his | house, brought over pair of overalls. | Hank" was steadied off the platform amid renewed yels of laughter and | with a man holding the chair away from his calves waddling outdoors where he was "unhusked." He finished his speech in the overalls.-Grass Lake (Mich.) News.
