FAMOUS LONDON STREET.
Various Theories Regarding the Nam
ing of the World-Known
"Piccadilly."

Says the Liverpool Post, the busy
thOroughfare which we know as Picca-
dilly is far removed from anything ru-
Pal as it is possible to imagine, and it
can hardly be realized that there was
time when merely one or two houses
stood on what is now one of the finest
and richest of the worlds streets. The
name Piccadilly appears to be derived
from the rzcs, piccadils or piccadil-
loes worn by the gallants of the time
of James /. and Charles l., the stiffen-
ing points of which resembled spear
heads or picardil1s, a minutive of Cpl
ca from the Spanish and Italian.
Blount, in his Glossographta 1850,
interpretS it as the edge or a skirt of
garment and a stiff collar or band
for the neck and shoulders, whence the
wooden piccadflloes (the pillory) in
Hudibras. Thus the first house built
in the road may have been so named
from its being the utmost or skirt
house of the suburbs that way" 9th
ers say the name is taken from the fact
that zone Higgins who built it (the
the sale of piccadillas," but the name
occurs many years earlier than the
mention of the first house, thus Gerard.
in his Herbal (1596), states that 'the
small wild bee-glosse grows upon the
drie-ditch bankes about Piccadilla."
The road is referred to in Slows mar
ratiYe of Sir Thomas Wyatt's rebellion
in 1854 as ''the highway on the hill
over against ST. James" and in Agga's
map (1560) it is lettered "The way to
Redinge." The upper part of the Hay
market and the fields adjoining to the
north and west were the 'Pickadilly"
of the Restoration. Evelyn quotes the
commissioners orders, July IS, 1862,
to pave ''the Haymarket about Pigu-
dello," and tradesmen's tokens of that
date bear "Pickadilla" and "Picka-
billy"

Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Wild excitement
marked trading in the wheat pit from the
very start Buying orders appeared TO come
from all directions at the opening The cause
sharp advances in foreign grain markets
A rumor that the English fleet had been or
dered to intercept any attempt by the Russian
fleet to pass the Dardanelles furnished an ad-
ditional motive to many traders. The May de-
livery was IN more active demand than the
deferred futures and as a result initial sales
on that option were at an advance Of &c to
2%c over Saturdays closing figure at 81 90 y
to 81 0S19. The wide range OF prices showed
more plainly than anything else the excite
ment under which the market opened. Some
brokers were bidding 81 OS1a a bushel for
wheat, while others almost by their sides
were selling that commodity for &c a bushe
less. The volume of trading the last few min
utes was enormous Hundreds of thousands
of bushels were sold the advance and on
this heavy profit taking the price of May fell
even 4c from the high point to 81 OF u
July declined to 94$se, or 1fsc from the top.
Many stop-loss orders were reached on the
way down, which added TO the weakness.
Shorts in the May option took advantages of
the break to cover, and the buying from this
caused a recovery to 81 0612. Within
the last fifteen minutes another flood of selling
orders appeared in the pit. The result of this
81 O3h, decline of SIC from the high point
July sold off TO 9213c, a loss of 3Rc. The
close weak. with May at 81 04. July
closed at 93Ac.
Corn was traded in heavily and prices moved
in sympathy with wheat May sold off to
5512c and closed at net loss Of 1kG1Ac at
closing 156%c lower at 54ss @54ac.
Oats were exceedingly nervous and the vol
urne of business was somewhat restricted. May
opened unchanged to lsc higher at 455sc to
Acc. and after ranging between 445sc and
461sc closed at 4kc.
Provisions were excited IN the same degree
as the grain markets. The opening was wild
with prices strong, but general rush on the
part of the holders TO realize caused a de-
cline. May Pork showed the greatest weak
ness and declined 45c from the top mark
After selling between SO 60 and $40 05 that
