Judge Humphrey of the United States court sitting in Springfield, Ill, has rendered decision by which the con- vict law passed by the last legislature may go into effect. ruling against the injunction obtained by the contractors, who resented the loss of profitable ser vice of State convicts. Now the money appropriated by the legislature to pur- chase material upon which the convicts may work is made available, and it is expected that the manufacturing of ar ticles needed in State institutions will be begun at once. b..

Something just as good as rubber is much wanted. During the past few months discovery has been made that there are in the interior of Brazil vast forests of trees from which can be pro- duced a high grade of rubber known to the trade as "manicoba." The area is said to be very large, but can not be de- fined, as the region has not been fully explored. The attention called to the first discovery has led to further ex- ploration. with the result that from time to time comes notice of other sec tions where like trees occur in profu- sion. The output of manicoba rubber has rapidly increased during the last few years and bids fair to be large item in the exports of Brazil.

A Minneapolis genius has invented a tventy-six inch umbrella which will fold up, frame and all. into little case to be carried in the pocket. The han de and all the ribs consist of fine and very strong steel tubes in sections, which telescope one inside of the other. The covering is of very fine silk, which takes up but little room. The wooden handle of the umbrella is hollow, and receives all the rest of the telescopic umbrella rod when shut up. A small and light case, not too big for the pock- ct, is provided to contain the whole, which is thus secured from irregular borrowers and the perils of exposure which always attend the use of an um- brella.

enthusiasm of yesterday. Initial quotations

offered for sale. but for a time offerings were
readily taken by commission houses. Senti-
ment in the pit had swung around to the

at the poor responses made by foreign grain
markets to the sharp advance here yesterday.
Weather conditions also regarded
more favorable, temperatures in the North
west, where the previous night the thermou-
eter had hoVered around the freezing point,
showing 2 moderate upward tendency. To
add to the ceiling pressure there was some
talk among traders regarding the probable

induced by present high prices. Consequently
the early demand gradually subsidized and prices
steadily declined. The weekly Weather Bureau
report was bullish, but the effect the mar
