Kansas CITY MO, OCT. Z, ISJ0.
WHEAT-While the fluctuations for the
week have been narrow, the wheat market
has shown considerable activity and with
an undeniaoly strong undercnrrent. Sta
tistics a re mixed. News from the various
worlds yield practically the same as last
year, except IN Russia, where 1t rs Saia
there is shortage estimated at 1876, 900 coo
bushels As the Cltited States viii doubt
less have 150. 100000 or more for export it
would seem that we were in position to I'll
all requirements of the importing count tries
and prices at present, however, are out of
line for export, although large purchases
at Duluth have been reported to go to Ger
many. The receipts from the northwest
continue large and continued free move
ment may be looked for from that source
for the next few weeks, unless restricted
BY lack of cars. The Increase in the visi-
bic supply last week was 1645,0 600 against
2.s73,000 a year ago, the visible now being
about the same as at this time last year.
Without the support of the large bull in
terest now in the market, we believe prices
would haze gone some lower, but we favor
the buying SIDE on any aeclInes. Demand
from milleFs j. good ana a ionerlngs are
/ quickly absorbed. We look for Tnoderat Re
! recessions from time to time, but believe
in ultimately higher prices on this crop of
CoRN-Fine weather, liberal receipts
and an Indifferent demand depressed prices
early in the week but an improved cash
demand and a firmer tone abroad, together
with buying by prominent Chicago inter-
ests, caused a change of sentiment and
prices of corn ruled hrmer the last few
days. There is said to be large short in
rereSt in the May delivery accommodating.
and if this be a fact we will doubtless
have a scalping market for a. while. but
we look for prices to recede only slightly
from the present level unless something
more unfavorable than IS now known
should come into the market as a factor
A large crop does not necessarily mean
low prices. A large crop with little or no
demand would signify such q condition. but
/ the readiness with which offerings are ta-
ken would not indicate that the crop this
year would prove oppressive to the far
mer.
OATs-oats are in practically the same
position as corn. a large crop and good
mand more in evidence at the moment
than in corn. every slight decline meeting
with good buying for foreign account.

A HospitabIe Heart.

Mr.. Frederick Goodall Of the
Royal academy tells in his "Rem-
iniscences" a good story of Jenny
Lind. The Swedish singer never
quite mastered our language, and
her habits of thinking and feeling
remained just what they had been
in her childhood.
Her ideas in English were perfect
ly charming, although they were ex-
pressed with foreign accent. The
naivete in many of her remarks was
captivating.
Once when the talk turned on the
subject of mice, an animal for which
ladies are believed to entertain feel
ings akin to terror-why l have
never been able to understand
Jenny Lind contributed to the dis
cussion of the quaint phrase:
ct have hole in my heart for re
leetle mouse"

was a great invalid and spent most
of her time in bed, but this fact did
not prevent her from receiving a
great deal of company.
One day when she was thus in

For the Poor.

A lot of minstrels went to a coun-
try town and advertised to give a
performance for "the benefit of the
poor; tickets reduced to sixpence. "
The hall was crammed full. The
next morning a committee for the
poor called upon the treasurer of
the concern for the amount the said
benefit had Melted. The treasurer
expressed establishment at the de-
mand.

of the committee, 'you advertised

Replied the treasurer:
Didn't we put the tickets down

C0URTING IN TIBET.
Barter In Which the Wishes Of TIM
Woman Are IGNORED.

When a Tibetan warrior, surfeit-
I'd with the glory of martial life
desires wife, he waits upon the ia,
Their of the girl who has attracted
MS eye and makes an offer of mar
rage. The father, after weighing
the matter carefully, for a refusal
Is likely to provoke a long and
bloody feud, in turn waits upon
the priests and acquaints them with
the nature of the offer, at the same
time paying to them munifcent
bride in order to secure the answer
OF the deltles as to whether the
marriage should be entered into
The wife seeker, should he be dip
lomatic enough, has meantime car
RED larger bride to the lamas,
who ''bleed'' both father and sutton
to the limit of safety, when the de-
clslon of the deities is given.
For month the accepted sutton
must keep the family of his favored
one supplied with meat and other
luxuries and must be on his guard
against rival suitors. At the end
OF month the chosen one is invited
to grand feast by the father of
the girl, where the betrothal is seal
ed by each cutting a small incision
IN the arm and mingling the blood
flowing from the wound. This func-
ton of blood brotherhood having
been finished, the girl is brought
forward, smeared with grease and
various colored pigments, adorned
in all her finery and with a rope
tied around her neck as badge of
subservience. Then ensues a scene
OF the shrewdest bargaining, the ia
Their dilating on the good points of
the girl much in the manner of
connoisseur of blooded stock. The
wishes of the woman are never con-
suited, but the bargaining goes on
for days and even weeks until
final settlement has been arrived
at. The requisite price having been
paid, she is led to the house of her
husband, where she is subjected to
a severe beating in order properly
to humble her spirit and made to
run around the village loudly pro-
claiming the merits and valor of her
husband.-W. G. Jameson Reid in

SOME CHINESE CUSTOMS.
The Betrothal of Children and the
Wedding Solicitations.

A Chinese paper describes some
amusing marriage customs. In a
small mountain village between
Kaga and Etchu the bride comes
to the bridegroom's gate and bawls
out to him: "Hello, brother! I've
come"
To which the other replies, "Glad
you've come"
The bride then appeals to him,
SYou'll never forsake me 7?
And the bridegroom answers her,
''We1l earn our living together"
With these assurances the bride
comes into the house, followed by
long procession of well wishers, old
and young.
Cheap, muddy cake is distributed
to them, and they commence dane
ing and are not content until the
floor gives way, when they clap their
hands, crying, "How auspicious~
and take their leave.
At Kurita, in Echizen, the be-
trothal takes place when the. par
ties are eight or nine. The boys
parents and a deputation, number
Ing from five to fifteen, proceed to
the girls family, who, anticipating
their coming, spread mats before
the houses and await them. After
the usual salutation the deputation
present as a betrothal present pieces
of hand woven cloth for cushions
and at the same time praise the
girls family, who return the COM
pliment with interest. Here the
ceremony ends, and the deputation
take their departure.
When the boy is fifteen or there
about, he goes to stay with his be-
trothed's family and works like
mental at the house for year, after
which he is sent home in fine ap-
parel. Soon after the girl comes
to her lovers house, accompanied
with rustic music and songs. The
noise and hustle are as great as on
the festival day of the tutelary god.
When the girl comes to the house,
cushions made of the cloth given by
her parents are piled one upon an
other for her to sit upon. On these
cushions the thrice repeated ex-
change of the triple wine cups, the
most important ceremony at we'd
ding, takes place.
