Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-May wheat opened
1-Sc higher today on slightly better cables
and fair buying. There was fair i'm
provement noted in both the cash and ex-
port. business. But large northwestern re-
ceipts, poor -four market and generally
favorable weather worked to some extent
against the flrrner condition. May eased
a shade on light selling, but afterwards
reacted and, sold to Is 1-2c. Later fiuctua-
lions were. narrow around this price. Lo-
cal receipts IA cars, one of contract grades
Minneapolis and Duluth reported Az cars,

Al u.s. There was almost no outside de-
mand and cash stuff was offered more

Lous corn market was holding steady,

The strength Of st. Louis continued to hold
corn here. No. corn there, which fort

Murnhv & co.,s Grain Letter.

NEW YORK, Feb 15.-In the face of the de-
cline here yesterday Liverpool cables were
steady and fractionally higher this morning
and prices advanced materially during the early
dealings. There very little trading owing
to the uncertainties of the situation and while
the usual Saturday short covering absorbed
some wheat the new buying proved COMPARE
lively unimportant. In the west weather de-
velopments were favorable for wheat and with
the speculative sentiment apathetic there were
few inducements to trade in the cereal. After
the steady advance to 7SN in Chicago for May
and 70 cents for July many traders were in
clined to look for more active market. But
yesterday the advance was mostly lost and the
effect on the market was material. Those
who bought and failed to sell on the advance
sold at a lower level last night and this morn
ing and were not active buyers. The market
recovered &c to nc during the early dealings
on reports Of moderate weather.
Argentina shipments are practically nothing
and while Russian offerings are larger than
expected Europe will have to buy great deal

REGIMENT TO BE SENT
HERE NOT DESIGNATED

No information has as yet been received
at Fort Mcpherson as to when the regi-
ment which is to be quartered here will
be received. It has been talked among the
four companies of the Twenty-third in
fantry which is now in command that they
will be sent TO Plattsburg. N. Y, where
the rest of the regiment has been sta
toned but no official orders have been re-
ceived at the headquarters.
There is much interest felt in the move
ment of the troops to Fort Mcpherson. 1t
is not known what regiment will be sent
here but will probably be one of the regi-
ments returning from the Philippines.

We cannot, II we love Him, 30 astray,
And when, through life. our paths look steep

To fnc our loving Father near Away
We would not murmur when the trials

Knowing they're sent to win our hearts
to Thee,
To draw our souls away from earth's bright

And make them fitted for eternity
Thou wouldst not send the shadows long

We never have to use the hoe
Or sprinkle day by day
TO get the worthless weeds to grow,
They flourish anyway
They need no care as flowers DO.
From shady hooks and sunny, too,
From barren soil and fruitful clay
They point defiant leaves at you'll
We never have to try and try
To find the sinful way;
Unworthy habits you and
May pick UP any day:
We have 10 practice hard' and long
TO take our places with the strong,
We strive for knowledge, but we play
Down easy ways that lead to wrong

What makes people iaugh7 IT'S a mystery
great;
To solve II we struggle in vain
We tell Of the apples that small Johnny
ate
And sing of his subsequent pain.
They describe his demise in jocular way,
With phrases both hippant ard pat,
And vet think It over and tell me, pray

And willing and anxious to learn,
Endeavors to kindae the fire, but to find
That the fuel refuses to burn;
We laugh with a merriment softly serene
When the house In a ruin lies fiat,
And she's blown to the clouds cause she
tried kerosene.
Is there anything funny in that7
