80 of the Building Trades Council, and
ITO union men, who were named as de-
PENDANTS in the case On Nov. l last the

Chicago.

CHICAGO and dealers have expressed
81 great faith in the future OF
prices, many announcing their intention
to hold their supplies until spring, when
the scarcity would be marked and quota
tons reach a more profitable point. Spec
ulative operators. as usual, anticipated
this tendency of legitimate BUSINESS and
inaugurated vigorous campaign. The
upward movement OF option prices culmi-
mated when May deliveries at this city
commanded S3% cents. The advance was
too fast and the market carried beyond
legitimacy by the feverish speculative
buying. The reaction. although siIarp, as
generally follows such spasms of buying,
has left the trade in IN unsettled condi-
ton.
The receipts are letting Up and the big
Northwestern movement. which has been
the bear influence for months, fras seen
its best, for the present AT least. Re
ceipts last week were. 4,519 ours, de-
crease OF 500 cars from the previous
week, aad compare with 3,017 cars last
year. The winter wheat movement is
light, and it will take an advance above
soc to enlarge farmers deliveries. Stocks
are piling up too rapidly for the bulls to
have an easy time in advancing prices
above SOC and holding them. The worlds
supply increased 32000,000 bushels last
month, which is more than the average.
The high point on the corn crop, 69N
cents for May. was followed by drop
to 651sc or 33sc, and by reaction to
6Sl4c, with the close at 67Ac to 67asc. Il
net loss of Use for the week. Prices
are nearly double last years. Hogs are
being marketed freely at all Western
points. and arrivals last week were 643,-
600, against G5S,000 the previous week
and compared with 564 ,000 last year. Re
ceipts here were $4,000. The quality is
poor and has decreased steadily for a
month The best prices of the season
for futures were made the past wreck,
May pork touching $1T45.

His wife and child, dressed as for company, would join him. and the happy little party would sit down for the meal of the day. When the happy business of e.tiag was begun. he'd look up smiling at his wife and say:
 Well, my dear, I think we shall have a bottle tonight
 Why tonight especially, dcar?' she would ask in affected surprise.

A COTilLON LEADER.

Washington Correspondent of Pittsburg
 Dispatch.
 Notwithstanding that Representative Marlin E. Olmsted of Pennsylvania has on two past occasions been triumphantly elected his friends are now entertaining serious doubts of his ability to turn the trick again. And it is all because of his love of society. He is a well-built, we'll dressed fellow and splendid dancer. and so has been much in demand here tolead the fashionable cotillons He has taken to the gayety of the Capitol like duck to water. With an extremely pretty and popular southern wife, who loves society as much as himself tis no wonder that Olmsted prefers going the rapid social pace of Washington to paying attendance on the House. But his colleagues do not envy him his distinction of being the only cotillon leader in Congress, and are even cruel enough to predict the sobriquet will mean his downfall when he asks the peo- pie of the country district he represents to re-elect him. Should the news perme- ate to his rural constituency, 1t is doubt full if all the eloquence of his silvery tongue could convince them that he con- sidered society as only a secondary and minor diversion.

states on what terms he will keep the school, including the public money. He names the fee he wants from each scholar. This is the kind of free pub lie school" that Alabama has, and this is the kind that the Gunnells bill would abolish.
 The Gunnells bill requires the truss tee of district to contract for five months of an absolutely free public school. and there is public money enough, furnished by the State, to pay a teacher. The bill is held up because it interferes with various schemes of various teachers looking to a combi- nation of public and private pay, who'll ly regardless of the rights of the bare foot boys and girls of the State.
 MT. Ellis evades discussion of the Gunnells bill. He introduces "ifs" and "buts." He says he does not care to discuss the merits or demerits of the Gunnells bill The Age-Herald says 1t has no demerits, and 1t is in favor of its passage without qualification or amendment. It is a basic bill, for 1t provides for free public schools, some thing almost unknown in this State 0f1teidn nf faxxy oiffao

FROM THE ANCIENT MARINER" :"

By Coleridge.
 What loud uproar bursts from that door The wedding guests are there But in the garden bower the bride And bridesmaids singing are; And hark; the little vesper bell, Which biddeth me to prayer. O wedding guest! this soul hath been Alone on wide, wide sea; So lonely twas, that God himse.f Scarce seemed there to be.
 O sweeter than the marriage feast. 'Tis sweeter far to me,
 To walk together to the kirk, With goodly company!7 To walk together to the kirk, And all together pray, While each to his great Father bends, Old men and babes, and loving friends. And youths and maidens gay! Farewell, farewellk but this I telh To thee, thou wedding geust! He prayeth well, who loveth well Both man, and bird, and beast. He prayeth best. who loveth best All things, both great and smallS !. For the dear God who loveth uA He made and Novsth all.
