The fair weather OF yesterday and the i'm
piled promise of still better and more season.
able TO come had a very beneficial effect on
trade. and everybody was in a more cheerful
and hopeful mood. There was considerable more
activity in dry goods. and groceries were pass
ing through shipping clerks hands in greater
volume than for many days past. Neither
branch Of trade had any change to make in
quotations. Druggists are having a satisfactory
trade, at steady prices. Leather is dull and
weak, but not Quotably lower. Produce dealers
report butter Of good quality scarce. Eggs are
to the fact that so many are going into cold
storage. Poultry is firm. and prices a shade
advanced.
Business I'm cereals is still very light. Wheat
receipts are so light as TO keep the market
merely nominal. while those of corn are not
much better. scarcely averaging 10000 bushels
per day. The quotations below. furnished by

An Embarrassing mistake.

A Cleveland man made a sad mistake
the other day and it taught him lesson
that he win long remember says the
Plain Dealer. He was in Detroit and went
down to the railway station to take the
train for Cleveland in company with a
friend-also a Cleveland man. The man
who made the mistake called the atten-
ton of his friend to the fact that a
comic opera troupe was going by the same
train.
There are a lot OF pretty girls in the
company" he said.
IAN right" laughed the friend. TN
stroll through the train and have a look
at them"
The friend entered the chair car and
the man who made the mistake strolled
forward into the smoker. He stayed there
for some little time and then thought
he'd go back and look up ms friend. He
found him presently. He was seated be-
side a handsomely dressed lady of attrac-
tive appearance, and the pair were en-
gagged in an animated conversation.
The man who made the mistake was a
good deal astonished. He paused in the
aisle and extended his hand.
We'll" he said, II may not see you
when we reach Cleveland-so goodby."
"Goodby," said the friend
You seem. to be booked for a pleasant
journey" said the man who made the mis-
lakeland he slyly smiled.
"Oh, yes" said the friend.
The man who made the mistake felt a
little nettied. His friend might have at
least have introduced him to the lady. So
he reached over as he turned to retire,

be on the Detroit train with us was
member of the comic opera troupe to
which you called my attention"
''Why, yes-wasn't she?"
Thunder, no! She's my next door neigh
Dor and my wife's most intimate acquaint-
ancer'

timer" he said to the other man.
Eyes. Quite a while"
How is it? Any good?"
Yes. pretty fair. 1 have no complaint
to make"
'Landlady treat you decent?"
'Well, perhaps l ought to-" and then
he hesitated
"Oh, never mind, old man." said the
new boarder. That's all right. I'm on.
But say mebby you never tried chuck
ing her under the chin once in a while.
That's the way to get on with 'em. /
never had a landlady that didn't treat
me Al yet. It's all in the way you handle
'em. Call 'em sister and give 'em soft,
oozy talk about their looks. That's the
way to fetch 'em. I'll bet you / can live
here for a month right now without bein'
asked for a cent. Watch me nudge her
when she comes in. Before this time to-
morrow she'll be tellin' me her family
history. Poor old girl! She looks as If
