New Fashion. In Dlning.

w. E. Curtis in Chicago Record Herald
 During the last eight or ten years there has been a marked change in the din- ing customs at Washington and I think that the same may be observed in all large cities. The old-fashfoned heavy, long dinner of ten or twelve courses. with four or five kinds of wine, has been abandoned. The fashionable din- ners of today. served at 8 o'clock in the evening, are seldom of more than five or six courses, with two kinds of wine, and 1t is becoming almost habitual among gentlemen to drink whiskey and soda instead of wine. A large number of habitual dinersout have found that whiskey is much less liable to give them gout. and refuse champagnes and red wines altogether. You can dine out every night in the winter nowadays without seeing a bottle of burgundy. and claret Is not drunk so much as the light white wines of Germany. It is customary to serve champagne toward the close of a dinner. hut the glasses are seldom filled more than once. A few years ago the measure of wine was one bottle of champagne for every three guests; now 1t IS one for every six guests. Sauterne and Rhenish wines gre usually taken wtth greater fEsed.

ANGRY WITH VICTORIAN.
Crowd Wanted to Lynch Him Whe
 Car Killed a Child.

Car Killed a Child.
 New York, March 24.-A squad of extra police was summoned from d station in Williamsburg section of Brooklyn today to rescue the motor man of a surface car from an angry crowd of 2,000 persons who were try ing to punish the motorman for the death of a little boy.
 The child, Frederick won Glider. aged years. ran in front of the car as 1t was passing through Park Ave- nue and was struck and instantly kill ed. Several women in the street and on the car tainted when they wit messed the accident. Hardly had the motorman, James McCauley. left tho platform of his car when several men seized him with cries of Lynch him, threw him down and jumped on him. The conductor took refuge in his car and locked both doors.
 McCauley struggled back to the car and reached a switch iron with which he knocked down several of his assail- ants. A policeman came to his rescue, two men fought side by side, the po- liceman using his club and McCauley the switch iron.
 Word was sent to a nearby police station for help and when the police arrived they had to beat their way through the crowd to reach the two men. The body of the boy was then removed from under the car. When his mother, Mrs. Robert von Glider, saw the body she tainted as she darted down stairs and fell headlong, suffer ing injuries from which 1t was feared she may not recover.

cis-Atlantic exchanges The large spot de mand, which until recently was a feature of mement. has subsidized The result of the days trading made no change in prices of options: spots advanced four points on sales of 5000 bales After a slightly lower opening our market remained steady throughout the day. The short interest in March Is finding some difficulty in cover ing to advantage and the strength of that month in our market and May in New York furnished support sufficient to prevent declines. Bearish statistics are SO generally expected that the realisation produces no effect. The weekly movement, 235,o00 bales. and large estimated receipts for New Orleans. Galveston and Houston tomorrow. while attracting attention. caused no depres- sion. Since Sept almost 10.4oo.ooo bales have come Into sight
 It is anticipated that census report prom ised for the 2sth will show an amount ginncd we'll in excess of 13,oo0. 900 bales and traders are waiting for this official dictum of the Government on the old crop with much interest Opinions. however, that it will be a bearish document are In the majority.
 It is not probable that the market will pursue a very decided course in either dtrec. tion until the census figures are known, but should a fair advance be observed we coc- slider it an advantageous opportunity on which to make sales.

 Considering the weakness of wheat the corn market showed considerable strength. h1gher cables resulting from decreased ship ments from Argentina gave the market a firm start.

WALL STREET REVIEW
CLOSING OF SHORT CONTRACTS SENT
 PRICES UP GRADE. <.
Bears Found Themselves Forced to Buy h Order to Cover-Effective Re- distance Encountered in
 the Market.

New York, March 24.--There was a pro- nounced upturn on the course of prices in in part to the closing up of short contracts put out in the decline during the week. xesterdays market had already shown ymP'os noint ws.r that the market had run to sra countered and sufficient new buying de- mana vas met to support prices Bears this warning and bought to cover very gem erally today. There was at the same time very marked revival in the circulation of rumors of the same class and for the most part identical in form with those which have already served many times to excite demand for stocks.
 Central and Union Pacific was notable case in point. The long time reports or a merger of lead interests was another eff fective instrumept in the upward movement of prices. old and new dividend rumors also played their part. stocks in the rubber industry being especially affected. The hopes of success in securing contracts Tor further subways in the efforts making on behalf of those interests.
 Colorado Fuel was still in demand on the strength of its subscription rights to new securities. glance over the list will show the important part played In the recovery by stocks thus specified as under special influences. Tho reversal of sentiment on the general market situation was attributed to subsistence of fears of stringent money The price of exchange was pronounced to be within measurable distance of the golc import point and 1t was felt that actual need for money here would lead promptly to an inward movement of gold.
 Account was taken, however. of the ac- companying sharp drop in the sterling ex- change rate at Paris. which has fallen threo centimes in the pound in two days past showing e considerable increase in the de- mand from that centre in London Esti- mates of the domestic currency movement indicate . considerable loss in cash by tue banks on the weeks movement, which Is practically all measured by the sub-treas- ury's absorption of $3.786,0o0 up to Thurs day night.
 But the shorp liquidation of the week and the large contraction in tho volume of loans with consequent benefit to the sur plus item. The allotment to the American subscribers of the half of the new $leo Ooo.- 900 loan was regarded as highly gratifying evidence of the abundant capital resources at command in this market Something was made of the belief that opposition to the stock transfer tax in the New York Legislature would prove effectual. The profit taking in the last hour was well ab- sorbed and the market closed strong and animated at the best prices of the day.
 Bonds were strong. Total sales. par value, $4,420,000. United States 3s coupon advanced per cent on call.
