MAY WHEAT

BuIIish Foreign Advices Inn
parted Strength to Market,
CORN UP AND OATS DOWN
Report From France Caused
Upward Tendency in Wheat.

Chicago. Feb. 21.-Bullish foreign ad-
vices impaired strength to wheat today
and firm feeling was manifested, May
being &c higher; May corn was up Is@kc
while oats were off a fraction. Provisions
were strong, the May products closing
from 214 to 121zc higher
There was a firm undertone in the
wheat market and higher prices ruled
under the influence OF higher cables, the
Price at Paris being especially strong Tor
the current months The correction made
III the French crop report making the
estimate not quite so bearish. was the
principal cause for the higher prices at
Liverpool and indirectly helped values
here. The opening was firm with May i
ga higher at 7.9.@7sc under a good de-
mand from shorts who covered for the
Monday holiday, the price advanced TO
.SGls, selling of toward the end of the
session but the close was firm with MAY
sc higher at 1@4c, after touching 775sI &c
The volume of business was light. Small
clearaaces, POO, O00 bushels and a good ey
Port demand were bullish influences. as
were the strong markets in the north
west. Primary receipts were 81 800 BUSH
els. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts of 2Il cars, which with local re-
celpts of - cars, one of contract grade
made total receipts for the three points
of -33 cars. against 429 cars last week.
Corn was firm early on continued light
nd Oh
cash demand held prices firm. Provisions
people were again buying July quite free
~ and there was also some demand for
May for commission houses. Weather
conditions were favorable, but had no
special effect on the market The alb
sence of any selling pressure was help
to better prices. The close was firm on
a good export demand, May being isGtc
higher at $3.50. after selling between 45ssc
and 46c. Local receipts were 327 cars,
none of contract grade
Trading in oats was light but the gen.
eral tone of the market was firm
although heavily realizing late in the day
caused a slight reaction. Commission
houses were the best buyers and there
was some buying for short account The

at 3524 07sc, after ranging between $685.
and SEC. Local receipts were light at 169
cars.
Provisions ruled strong and more than
recovered the loss of yesterday. Shorts
were good buyers of May ribs and there
was a good general demand for pork and
ribs supposed to be for the account of
local packers. The advance in hogs was
one OF the chief causes for the strength
at the start. The close was strong, May
PORK PFC higher at s1167l2: May lard
was 2lac higher at s9.57l1 while ribs were
up 71zc. at s9.671a.

Evidence on commis.ton.

During a contested viii case n of
the witnesses in The course of giving
his evidence described the testator
minutely.
Snow, SIR" said the counsel for the
defense, II suppose we may take it
from the ~flatteri1g description you
have given Of the testator, his good
points land his personal appearance
generally, that you were intimately
acquainted with him?'
"Him!" exclaimed the witness. "He
was no acquaintance of NINE"
Indeed: Well, then you must have
observed him very carefully when
ever you saw him?" pursued the ex-
aiming counsel.
Il never saw him in my life" was
the reply.
This prevarication, as counsel
thought it, a too much; and, adopt
ing a severe tone, he said:
Now, sir, don't trife with the.
court, please. How, I ask, could you,
in the name of goodness, describe
him SO infinitely if you never saw
him and never knew him??"
We'll" replied the witness, and the
smile which ~oyerspread his features
eventually passed over the court,
you see, I married his widow

THE OLD sCHooLHouse.

The little red schoolhouse is open again
The door stands ajar and the shutter:
are down.
The windows thro' many a newly-washac
pane,
Like the specialized master, gaze up the
long lane,
And with much the same stern schol,
aStical froWn.
The little red schoolhouse is open. it's
clear
BY the newly-trod path from the stiles
to the door,
By the two little paths leading round to
the rear.
Where truant feet sca1nper when "books"
time draws near
To snatch from grim duty just one
minute more.
IT'S clear by the pape that filters the
Ali. perhaps, that's immortal of states
man or bard,
Strewn recklessly, ruthlessly hither and
yon-
By the footprints in mud the worn door
sill upon,
n the ball-bats and playhouses cum
bring the yard.
The little red schoolhouse Is open, I say.
But the faces that wistfully peer thro'
the door,
So weary of work and so hungry for play.
And the voices that lisp the old lessons
to-day
Are never the faces and voices of yore.
The little red schoolhouse is open; but
where,
o brother Of mine, are our comrades of
old;
The stout-hearted lads and the maidens
so fair,
We fought with and played with and
idolized there.
With valor and ardor and love all UNI
told?
The boy who could never just learn how
to spell
o. what was his name? and what has
been his fate?
The good boy. the bad boy. the boy who
would tell,
The boy who could mimic the master so
we'll,
AM the boy who could w%ondrously
draw on his slate!
And the girl whose initials were carved
or the beech
In the yard. and so deeply engraved in
my heart
Who could write so. and sing so and say
such a speech.
And no ongue could relate and no teach
er could teach
o Time n Change. where have you
buried her art?
The little red schoolhouse is open-alas,
We may not return to our desks. as Of
old -
Up the rough path ad astra no longer
may pass
All their lessons forgot. our mates sleep
meath the grass
And their names, aforementioned, on
stone are enrolled.
