WHEAT AGAIN GOES DOWN
EARLY FIRMNEss LOST UNDER A
BURDEN OF LONG STUFF.
Corn Goes Lower and Pulls Oats Down
with It-HoE Products Also Are
Easy and Declining.

CHICAGO, March f.-Another break &C..
CURED in wheat prices to-day and the close
was weak, with May off HGSc. Corn
closed &c lower and oats down A4$c. Pro-
visions closed easy and unchanged to sc
lower.
There was moderate trade in wheat, but
the market lacked any distinctive features.
May opened unchanged to &c higher, at
74ssa74z4c. on a good demand from locals
the early buying being due to rumors of
colder weather and TO the growing i'm
preston that the market was being manipu-
lated. After small advance the market
reacted on lack of support. May selling off
to 741kc. The strength at st. Louis started
shorts to covering. and some stuff was
taken for long account, and under this in
fiuence the price rallied to 75c. Toward the
end of the session general liquidation set
in and prices broke to 74Ac. The close was
Ad%c lower, at 74sQ74lkc. Gables were
lower and were early bear factor.
Clearances Of wheat and flour were equal
to 351 900 bushels. Primary receipts were
1862 500 bushels. against $4,000 a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 355 cars, which with local receipts Of
sixteen cars. none OF contract grade, made
and 3S3 year ago.
Corn ruled weak on general realizing.
The break in wheat added to the weakness,
and the close was near the bottom. Local
traders were disposed to favor the buying
side early, but when some big longs began
TO throw their holdings on the market the
sentiment suddenly changed and early buy
ers turned sellers. The weather was favor
able for the movement and grading, and
added to the depression. May closed sc
lower, at 465sc, after selling between 46ssc
and 471zQ47ssc- Receipts were 240 cars. none
OF contract grade.
Oats were q shade higher at the start, but
heavy selling by commission houses tended
to weaken the market, and later the decline
received additional impetus from the weak
ness In corn. Trading was only fair, but
local sentiment favored the bull side, re-
ceipts being light and the cash demand fair
ly good. May closed 1sQ&c lower. at $40
S4Kc, after ranging between 34zc and 354c.
Receipts were 161 cars.
There was only a small trade In pro-
visions and the market developed a some
what easier tone after opening firm on
moderate receipts Of hogs and higher prices
at the yards. The decline in grains was
responsible for much OF the weaker ten
dency May pork closed 21zc lower, at
Sls.l2la; lard of &c, at S10.121z. and ribs un-

said Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is
land. II did, once"
1T was the funeral of an old-time
acquaintance of mine, and the minis
ter who made the opening address
was absent-minded. He got up in
the pulpit, began to speak with
eloquence, and then stammered a
little, fioundered a little. You see,
the corpse had been in life a stran-
ger to him, and he had now forgot
ten it's sex.

brother-or sister he said and,
then went on and spoke with great
feeling about the virtues of the de-
ceased, calling it always brother
or sister,. Finally pausing a mo-
ment to take sip OF water, / heard
him say to the aged deacon who sat
in the pulpit:
THE corpse, which is it, a brother
or sister,
The deacon was very old, very
old and slow of wit. He answered
in a loud whisper:
Neither. Only an acquaintance.

Lord Kitcheneris celebrated for his
stern and exacting manner and his
subordinates are apt to shake in
their boots when TX. of K" comes
along inspecting their work. But
On one occasion even the redoub-
table conqueror of the Soudan met
his match and proved the fine quail
ty OF his nature by acknowledging
the fact. IL was in the days when
the railway was being driven across
the desert TO Khartoum. A young
Canadian officer of engineers was
in charge of the work, which was
progressing satisfactorily, when
one morning the sirdsr (as Kitchen
er then was) appeared on the scene
and expressed his disapproval OF
certain features of the work with
his usual scathing brevity. The
young officer listened until his
chief had finished and then quietly
inquired. Am bossing this rail
way, sir, or are your" Kitchener
looked at him, recognized the breed
as one after his own heart, nodded
approval and went away.-London

For Thoughtful Contemplation

Silence is often more eloquent than
a superabundance of words.
Poverty OF possession need not be
discreditable; proverty of life al
ways is.
Perhaps two can live as cheaply
as one but most people would rather
be the one.
The anarchist seems TO lose sight
of the fact that some rich men were
born that way.
The attention paid toinconseauen-
tial things causes us TO overlook
many that are great.
The mother who sees all the vir-
tues in her own child is blind TO
those in other children.
Many men fall by the wayside be-
cause of unwiIlingness to take hold
of the timely warnings.
When you step up one promise
you will always find a higher and a
higher and better one before you.
III men were as anxious to do right
as they are to get their rights, the
world would soon be righted.
/ How easy it is for one to suggest
a sure way for some one else to man.
age a troublesome affair.
The man with the striking auto
graph is not always as important as
he would thus make believe.
The roots of o strong tree do NOT
make much rustic, but they do the
hanging on in time of storm.
Our business undoubtedly is no,
to see what lies dimly at q distance,
but to do what lies clearly at hand.

AS the wheel Of time roll on, each
day and hour has its events. There
Is q something that leads us on by
the wayside into paths that we have
long since Stunned lest some fond
recollection Of other days be awaken
ed that belongs to the past-days Of
JOY and gladness around the home
and the fireside days when the
maiden cheeks were In blootn--when
the touch Of the warm, soft hand
spoke more than. words can express
moments that gave birth to joys
that have long since fled-the friend,
the wife, the mother, nay. more than
volumes can express-she old farnil-
lar haunts Of leisure hours-the tow
ering branches where the mocking
bird sang its glad song and the moth
er bird nursed and reared it's young
the lofty hills, the green meadows,
the distant view of the broad, blue
waters and other surroundings re-
call many incidents OF the once hap
py past. A decade of years since
we had seen within the old familiar
walls which seemed TO re-echo the
melodies of bygone years. aud where
the first born, now blossomed into
womanhood, first lisped the sweet
name of mother, long since wrapt
in the bosom of God s acre. Alas
how many kind friends have since
passed to the spirit land. among
them good Father Neale, Mr.. J. ].
langley, Mrs. NJ. L. Cecil and Mrs.
C. o. Raley, friends who will ever
live on in the writer's memory fresh
and green. Perhaps it were better
not to dwell upon the past. But we
would not il we could obliterate
pleasant memories lest we show in
gratitude for the better part we were
destined to play i'm life $ vicissitudes.
