CHICAGO. January 11.-Heavy re-
ceipts and unresponsive cables were
factors unfavorable to wheat prices to-
day and May closed $s012c lower.
Corn closed 1sc lower and oats at a
like decline. Provisions at the close
were a shaoe to sc depressed.
There was a larger trade in wheat
than for days past, but it was of mys-
ferrous sort and confined largely to
two firms. Otherwise the market was
bull one. Armour brokers bought
100000 bushels and a commission
firm sold about that much. Some
thought the buying was in the way Of
evening up Armour trades in order to
settle the estate of the late P D. Ar
mour. 1t was also reported that the
operations had to do with Judge Tul-
ey's adverse warehouse decision an
nounced yesterday, although in what
way was not made plain. Outside in
terests were not in the market to any
extent and any demand invariably met
with liberal response from longs.
Lower cables, heavy receipts, increas-
ed Argentine shipments and favora Die
news from that country were depress-
ing factors. May having opened a
shade to A@3sc lower at 7734 OF TIE
sold during the forenoon between 7734

clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to 49, COO bushels. Argentine
shipments were AS. 900 bushels com
pared with 10000 bushels the week
previous and $4,000 bushels a year
ago.
Corn was quiet with the trade small
in volume and without feature. the
market was inclined TO sympathize
with wheat and to weaken On the re-
ceipts. $50 cars. but fear Of bad wealth
er shutting off the movement tended
to steady prices. May sold between
3S1a and 3S$4c and closed &c lower
at 3SSsc.
Oats quiet and steady. Country Of
ferings were light and there was a
good demand from shippers. Receipts
35S cars. May sold between 251sc and
247sc and closed &c lower at %.
Provisions were dull, opening lower
in sympathy with lower hog prices
but steadying on moderate bull sup
port. May pork sold between s13 %

s14 05; May lard between 81 40 and

WOOL.

BOSTON, January 1.-THE Com
mercial Bulletin will tomorrow say
The receipts of the week are 6,S65
bales domestic and 1,265 bales foreign
against 6.252 bales domestic and So
bales foreign last week and $3.50 bales
domestic and 1913 bales foreign for the
same week last year. Receipts since
Jan cry 1st, show a decrease of 616
balec domestic and 3.0a0 foreign. as
compared with the same period in
1900.
The market has started. The Ameri-
can Wooden Company has bought
heavily Of medium feeces and fine
medium territory. Other mills have
followed suit. Low fine medium, Utah,
from the bankrupt Browne woods has
been flung down at 3Sc clean, and one
small lot of 1898 Ohio Xxx was sold
at 27c, a cent below the market. Heavy
sales of quarter blood unwashed have
been made at 24c and strict fine med
ium territory staple has sold in big
blocks at 47c clean. Australian cables
note a further advance of 5 per cent
since the Christmas holidays. Worst
ed yarns are more active and the phe-
nomenal sale by the big wooden COM
bine of 10000 pieces in two days seems
to mark the turn of the tide. No sales
this week.

NEW YORK, January 11-General
conditions in the local metal market
continue in their narrow rut with SEN
timent on the whole of a bearish aver
age. Tin was % points lower again as
the result Of a lack of buying orders
and ruled extremely dull all day and
closed weak with sellers on the basis
of s26,25 for spot tin. At London, how
ever. rise OF l Pound was noted to
8119 Zoe presumably due to a specu-
iative movement. At Philadelphia,
iron was somewhat lower and weak
following advices from England to the
effect that iron at Glasgow was again
lower to sos Id and Middlesboro ASS.
Locally, however, business was dull
with prices unchanged at 50 50Q10 80

dry Sl5d16 so; southern foundry

cablegram:
The markets here were idle to-day
partly because of the settlemen which
in the beginning was heavy because
contangocs exacted III the mining de-
partment were so stiff. But this was
not so much because of the money
rates as because OF the West Australian
disaster.
American shares were torpid. They
opened well under parity and there was
a definite disposition to sell here, but
there was a sharp rally after the New
York opening. New fork sent over
buying orders in the Union Pacific and
the Norfolk & western. After this,
the department sagged, rallied again
ana was quite strong.
The street in London regards the
boom in London as over and the latest
news from Hill is taken as evidence
that the Morgan people are out.
Money was little tighter. the

relatives. II there be no relative within
the fifth degree the property goes to the
Commissioners of the District Of Columbia
for the benefit of the poor There are some
other changes in the law of descents and
distributions equally sensible and beneficial.
It makes the law relating to the property
rights and contracts OF married women
clear and plain and emancipates them as
near as may be from all of the common
law disabilities resulting from marriage.
The code secures to a married woman the
right to engage in any business, and to
take for her own benefit the income or
profits of her business or the proceeds of
her labor, skill or Industry, or money ac-
cruing to her for damages to her person
or reputation, and neither her husband nor
his creditors have any interest therein. Her
liabilities also are the same substantially
as IL unmarried.
All policies Of life Insurance for the ben
eft of wives or children, or both, are de-
clared to be free from the claims OF credit
ors Of the person whose life Is insured.
The simple forms prescribed for deeds
and leases Of real estate Is believed to be
one of the greatest reforms Of the code.
The subject Of insurance is regulated In
such manner as to practically exclude ire
sponsible companies from doing business
in the District. and to protect the people
of the District who insure in foreign com.
panies against fraud or unfair treatment.

CHRISTMAS BERRIES,
Old-Fashi0ned Greens Were Rose

Old-Fashioned Greens Were Rose
mary, Ivy and Bay.
From Country Life in America
The old-fashioned Christmas greens were
rosemary, ivy and bay. but in the 1000
which it is estimated that we now use every
year there Is a much greater variety. Best
loved Of all is the glossy, red-berried holly.
Holm" was the old English name for It,
and it is thought to be identical with the
greenwood tree Of British ballads and
of Robin Hood fame On our side of the
Atlantic the American holly, Hex opaca, is
found from Maine, where it grows as
shrub. to North and South Carolina, where
it lifts symmetrical cone of dark, shining
leaves set with scarlet berry clusters along
a beautiful trunk of gray and silver to the
height of seventy or eighty feet.
Delaware and Maryland are usually cred
tied with furnishing the best grades of holly
to Christmas markets, but their Three X
brand, as seen after shipment to northern
cities. is not so finely berried as the Caro-
lima holly, plentiful in the regions around
Asheville. In this country there are three
distinct grades of holly. Trees that stand
on dry, barren hillsides, as a rule, are
heavily laden with thick, knoblike clusters
of berries, but their leaves are likely to be
small, yellowish and imperfect. Follow some
little stream to sheltered, sunny glade
where a holly trunk CLEANS white, and
there you will find leaves large, dark ana
perfect, with thick, scarlet fruitage light
ing the shadows evenly all over the tree.
Still further down the brook, where the
hemlock shade Is deep, the holly leaves
ries have almost disappeared from among
them
