Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. March s-SpccuIa ton on the Board. of Trade was again dull today. Fluc- the tone ruled firm the greater part of the day on the bullish crop reports the cl SC higher and May oats i.aine lower. Vs psIis prayi. sions closed 7ism2oc lower.
 Wheat bulls had fair encouragement soon after the opening. Cables were only slightly reduced Aided to this was thd bulIlsh fac tor of dry weather reports from the South west. The effect of the early buliisn surrounl- fngs was not felt with full force until nearly an hour after the opening Trade in general awakened buyers from the country The Southwestern markets were active. St. Louis q shade lower to unchanged at 76,s to 76Map I6hc and gradually advanced to 76%. Shorts had covered to some extent, though many reports The small receipts in the Northwest started the story that the crop yield had been ver-estimated. Elevator stocks there were de- creasing and estimates were made that bsSe be sap ooo to M western States. but the prices that had been built on this basis did not hold when iiqui- to it's lower opening price and closed barely firm at 76ss. Local receipts were 37 cars. three of contract grade; Minn; apoiis and Du- luth reported 2l3 cars, making total for the three points of 25o cars. against 562 last week and 3s2 year ago: Primary receipts els last year. Seaboard clearanees in wheat and flour eaualed 6l 900 bushels
 Corn was given some support by the big local bulls and prices ruled strong for time. Duilness, however characterized the trade in general St Louis did some buying here and helped early and even increased receipts ha l little effect. as traders were confidently ex-

 May opened shade lower to shade higher

 There was early demand in oats which, together with the strength in other grains held prices firm There was, however. little change to the situation.

LOVING CUP.
WHY IT ALWAYS HAS THREE
 HANDLES.
Great and Powerful King Responsi- ble-A Pretty and Interesting
 .. Story Told.

Tho loving cup is rGy common nowa- days. and we see it everywhere. says The New York Tribune. But many years ago there were no such things as these que IT three-handled affairs, and the following story tells how they first happened tc be made:
 there lived great and powerful king. who was extremely fcrd of hunting. He vas one day in a forest pursuing a stag tut it was so fleet and clever that 1t eluded him and his band of followers and led them entirely out of their way fashion they finally came upon little hut. and the king himself dismounted and rapped upon the door.
 A young girl answered his knock. and soon showed the men the right path The king was about t9 go. when he saw a we'll near the house, and at the sight of the clear water immediately felt thi. sty and, going back, asked the girl for a drink. Without hesitation she went into the house and came out with an earthen Jug filed with the we'll water But. in- stead of offering his royal majesty the handle. IS most people would do, she held that herself. and handed him the cup the wrong way.
 The king said nothing. thanked the girl ani he and his band soon found their way out cf the wood.
 But when he reached his palace he de- terminel to reward the girl for giving
 
 to teach her a lesson in politeness.
 Sending to his jeweler. he bade him make a silver cup, with two handles. end deliver 1t to the young girl, without a word as to whence it came.
 Perhaps a month after this the king again hunted in that same forest. sough, the hut and asked the girl for another drink of water.
 came, out with a beautiful silver cup full of the sparkling water. Now thought the king, she has certainly more mistaken. for the poor. ignorant girl took handle in each hand, and for the second time offered her liege lord nothing save the side of the cup.
 The King rode away deeply perplt Aed He resolved to teach the girl the polite way to hand a cup without directly re he spent in cudgeling his brains for some way in which tc do 1t. At last bright idea struck him, and he sent for hi: jeweler a second time. Make me-. said chased and with my royal crest. and put three handles on It." The jeweler much s'n pristd-for remembering. nc such thing had ever been heard of uT socn the mug was finished As before the king had 1t privately sent to the gir who lived in the little hut.
 One dnv not long after this for the th "a tune he rode into that forest, and taking the now well known path, soon reached the cottage. Dismounting,, he knocked at tie door and asked hur1bly for drink os clear water
 The girl immediately came out with the beautiful three-handled cup, and talk. Ing two of the handles in her hands, she offered him the third.
 So the king rode away well pleased with his strategy, and, reaching home. or. dered three ha ndled cups to he made ir every sort of ware, and they became SC popular that we new have them in al our shops and st

March 5,--Lverpool held in line with the imp oving tcnlcncy by rec .rd- ing an additional advance of 2-64 in deliver les and l-i6 in s9otss with transactions attributed the rise to large demand from Japan for both spots ani contracts. It seems, however. that foreign traders are realizing the error of being guided by large crop est mates alone and are beginning to apprehena some mistake as regards previous views of the ex- tent Of consumption. On this side there was an uninterrupted display of strength wlich resulted in a steady elevation of prices. The temptation to take profits was again present cd and while long realizing proceeded in I.b- erai way. such offerings were accepted with readiness that was astonishing. Closing quo tatt3ns mark an advance of i9 on thfs ar lo9i6 points on next ercp as compare1 with yesterday. So far the movement is con cefned. there indications yet that the promised falling of is at hand but with the passing of each day confidence in that direction seems to increase and the ket acquires greater fsmness In consequence. In this matter however. tho improved de- man1 for actual cotton in all sections Of the belt figures conspicuously also ani serves to confirm the belief that the excellent condi ton of home trade is forcing American spin ners to compete actively for the remnant of this yield Thus should today's cable advice pres1ge an improvement in the condition Of business in Manchester. the situation will in all probability decrlop greater strength

 NEW ORLEANS. March 5.--Liverpocl ad- vices were more favorable than expected and our market in sympathy opened SlJt points highe-. soid off slightly later on realizing but subsequently advanced iidI2 points adhi- tionnl on large speculative huying. becoming somewhat easier near the close making the net gain 9 points on the day. The semi-week- ly interior receipts were 49.o0o. against 4,6oo last year and the loss m stock 5000. against I.oo0 last year. The port receipts for the five days are 5000 less than last year. The re- cent sharp advance has been predicted on the good demand for receipts and anticipation of a marked decrease in the movement during March. Predictions have been made that the would show loss of 100. GOO to POO. GOO un- der last year. So far there no indications of the claims being realized. Sentiment how ever. has become extremely buliish and higher prices are anticipated on the theory that con sumption requirements will exceed the out turn of the crop. The fact that the bulk or traders believe the crop is about 10, GOO 900 even though statistics indicate 1t is much larger, and it is really this fact which causes the present strength in the situation
