THE EMHASSADOR's WAGER.


AS walked on. however. my mind
was working like clock. Lorgnacs
agltated manner, his strange words at
| our parting. the presence Of Condo in
Paris, the fact of his being sDled upon
by the Spanish embassy and by such
an agent us D'Aramon, all these point
ed to some mystery. My curiosity was
| excited to the highest pitch. at that
time no man in Paris was rs eager as
to poke his nose into matters that did
not concern him. And now that | am

scribe myself as | was then. | was
tall and slightly built. but strong and

sharp and pointed, SO that at college
got the uncnvlablc nickname Of the
Ilatchct. The mention OF this always
led to trouble, sometimes for me, some
times for my tormcntors. But the
name had dropped into oblivion since
had come to mans estate, although my
sharp features remained.
In the meantime there was this mys-
terry to be solved. and l was dctcrmin-

saw that | was near Il most inviting

ton in matters Of this nature was even
kccncr than mine, was already there,
and, following Pompon's example, /
settled myself down to unrnvcl the
skelns of the puzzle.
l had not been there above half an

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Wheat was fairly
active and firm. Reports of damage from
the Southwest and an Improvement in
the import demand. Sc loads at the sea-
board, were the factors and induced some
covering by local shorts. Commission
houses supplied the dem; nd on the ad-
vance. Liverpool was 5teady, hd@sd

were again larger than last year. Clear

rent" reports the winter wheat crop In
good condition. but backward.
Corn was dull and lower. The trade
was light. Local leaders were more bear
ishly inclined and sold July moderately.
Not much effort was made to support
prices. II was thought that Phillips sold
May on these hard spots through brokers,
while he bid the market up personally.
Country movement was light. Primary
receipts 2490C bushels. Today's CARROTS
were only 81, with 40 for tomorrow The
cash sales yesterday were 10000 bushels.
Nothing reported up to the close today.
The seaboard had 50 loads.
Ii was a weather market in oats, firm
early but weak late. Some talk of manip
ulation in May caused shorts to cover.
There was fair outside buying of July.
One of the leading local bulls sold May
and bought July. The seIpoard reports
10000 bushels cash oats sold. CARROTS 14S,
