The rental of the great gambling

Magic Mirrors.

Magic mirrors are the latest fash
ionaDle curios. though they are by no
means novelty, having been known
for mary years. The mirror Is a
slightly concave disk of bronze, highly
polished and silvered. The mirror
shows no peculiarly until held so that
the sunlight is reflected from it upon
the wall or other dark object. when
the design stamped upon the back
appears upon the wall in bright lines.
The design is not apparently upon
the surface of the mirror, but the
stamping slightly hattens the surface
of the reflector, and when held in the
strong sunlight these fiat lines direc-
tly reflect their light upon the wall.
while that reflected from the concave
portions is dispersed.
Arrangements are now being made
to have portraits and coats of arms
stamped TO order, and this. 1t Is *
pected, will still further increase the
demand.

Butter. Cheese and Eggs.

The feature of the Butter market at present
is the agitation in favor Of the full-wefght
square. The Governor having signed the bill
requiring every food package weighing from
eight ounces to six pounds to have it's weight
printed on the wrapper, has led to a general
movement among the Butter merchants 70 re-
quest the creamery and dairy men to put up
their product in full weight squares hereafter,
and If the merchants come to an agreement OF
this sort notices 10 this effect will be sent
to all the Butter producers In the State An
argument in favor OF this is that all markets
except San Francisco want the full-weght
square and our 11s-lb package hurts our ship
ping trade.
The Butter market continues steady and un-
changed and orders for the north continue.
Cheese rules steady, but some dealers are
reporting increase in stocks.
Eggs continue weak and the downward ten

cHIcAGO March 24-From the outset the
wheat market was under the innuence OF IN
creased shipments from Argentina, and eontin-
ued excellent weather conditions IN the Unlteo
States May wheat opened from 1sc to &c
down to 81 IL to 81 i2&. July was off Ac
to 1.c at 9OAc to 901ac. On the initial break
a fair demand developed for the July deliv-
cry causing an advance TO 90a4c Trading in
NAV however was dull. Large receipts in
the Northwest and extreme weakness at Min
neapolis accounted for the lnactiVity OF May.
AS trading progressed sentiment in the pit be-
came more bearish. The main consideration
apparently a growing belief that the fall
sown crop of wheat would prove OF vast pro-
portions Adyices from various sections of
the winter wheat belt reiterated reports of
favorable progress in the growth of the plant.
A ST. Louis trade paper report on crop prog
construed especially bearish Vhe
condition of the crop, according to this re-
port, is excellent for this time OF the year,
there being few indications Of damage A
fact that the plant is growing where there
has been failure TO gernlinate earlier in the
season. With practically support prices
steadily declined until May May had touched
day some recovery took place on a report that
the leaders in the May deal had decided to
rally to the support of that option The mar
ket however closed rather weak, with May
90as @901, a loss of AGssc.
Considering the weakness OF wheat the corn
market showed considerable strength. Higher
cables gave the market firm start. The
market held firm the entire day, closing prices
being almost at the highest point May closed
at 4S1s @4S%, loss of a 4@9sc.
Sentiment in the oats pit rather bear
sh result of warmer weather. May
closed unchanged at 30&c.

higher prices for live hogs May pork. lard
and ribs each closed &c higher.
