RENEWED SELLING CAUSES
2 DOWNWARD TREND OF PRICES
AFTER STRONG OPENING.
CORN MARKET EASES OFF,
AFTER SLIGHT GAINS
Rains Prompted Some Buying, Early,
But Market Soon Became in Sym
pathy With Wheat Weakness-oats
I Also Ease Off, On Poor Support
| Provisions Firm and Higher.

Chicago, June 17.-Relatively strong
cables caused firm opening in wheat
today, but the downward trend of
prices was resumed early, owing to re-
newed selling of a general character.
Weakness in northwestern markets
was the chief reason for fresh declines
here. July opened at Lag to 1.14%,
rose to 1.14B Oils and dropped to
1.137s. Receipts of Chicago, Mime
apolis and Duluth, We're 121 cars.
The market became strong again in
the last half of the day on active buy
Ding by shorts. The close was active
and strong, with July up Il at 1.l5A.
Corn.
Rains in sections of the corn belt,
prompted some buying of corn by
shorts, at the opening, resulting in
slight gains, but the market soon eased
off. in sympathy with wheat July
opened at 71A to 711s. Receipts We're
l79 cars.
Buying of July by shorts was the
feature of the trading later in the day
and as result of this demand, the
price of that option advanced to 1925
The close was strong with July up rs
at 1875.
Oats.
Oats opened moderately firm, then
eased off on poor support. July opened
at sos to soy. and sold to 501s Re
ceipts were SO cars

MarveIs About a Watch.

A watch is the smallest, most deli
cate machine that was ever construct
ed OF the same number of parts.
About ITS different pieces of ma,
terial enter into its construction, and
upward of 2,4O0 separate operations
are comprised in its manufacture.
Some of the facts connected with
it's performance are simply incredi-
BILE. when considered in total. A
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil in day, and is
right glad when Sunday comes
around; but the roller jewel of a
watch makes every day, and day af-
ter day, $4,000 impacts against the
fork, or 157,6S0,O0O blows in a year
without stop or rest, or 3.153,60Q. 1000
in the short space of twenty years.
says a matchmaker in the Chicago
News.
These figures are beyond the grasp
of our feeble intellects, but the mar
vel does not stop here. 1t has been
estimated that the power that moves
the watch is equivalent to only four
times the force used in flea's jump;
consequently it might be. called a
four-fiea power. One horsepower
would suffice to run 270,000.000
watches.
Now the balance Of a watch is
moved by this four-flea power one
and orty-three-oneshundr inches
with each vibration-3.5SSA miles
continuously in one year
If you would preserve the time.
keeping qualities of your watch you
should take it to competent watch
maker once every eighteen months

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.

The idea of woman in trousers
seems to be the most horrible that
the modern civilized mind can con-
iu-e up, but there are parts OF the
world where women wear these gar
ments as a matter of course Sand the
heavens have not yet fallen. They
even contrive to look charming IN
them, too, as in one of the cantons
of Switzerland, where the. bifurcated
garment is worn on dress occasions
as well as for work. Not even at
the altar are the trousers discarded.
The bride wears white ones, with 4
white bodice and white flowers in her
hair, and many a bride in court
train is less shy and sweet. In spite
of their trousers. which are necessi-
tated by the work that they do In
the fields, these women do not ride
astride, but use a side-saddle just like
the woman who is trammelled by
skirts.
The trousers of Switzerland are
loose. baggy affairs, sometimes al
most as cumbersome as skirts, bnt
the peasant maids of the Austrian
Tyrol wear short, close-fitting small
clothes. which cannot impede their
movements in any way. and which
are not particularly becoming. TO
Judge by the pictures which have
reached civilization. The socks do
not meet the trousers and the knee
is left bare, like a Highlanders. The
upper part of the costume has some
feminine touches, and over the trous-
ers is a short drapery, which may
be the remains of skirt. These
women work in the fields and stables,
and are compelled by their life to
dispense With superfiuous draperies.
French and Belgian fsherwomen
wear t'ousers. They wade through
the water. pushing their nets before
them, and the heavy waves would
soon sweep them off their feet il
they wore skirts. Even without them
they are obliged to go out in little
parties for mutual protection.
In China, where they do most
things differently from the rest of
the world. the women wear trousers
and the men do not disdain skirts.
The women also smoke. In Turkey.
before, Paris fashions invaded the
harem, trousers were worn by the
women. while the cigarette is an in
dispensable part of their lives-New

IN THE PARIS SHOPS.

With the shorter, more simple DIN
ners that have become the mode,
writes the Paris correspondent OF
Vogue, the luxury and the variety OF
the table decorations and fittings have
increased AS table decorations flow
ers are, believe, far less used in
Paris than in New York. Their place
here is taken by groups of SAKE or
other rare porcelain, bits of fine old
crystal, rare silver, or the dainty
Tanagra statuettes.
These little plaster statuettes or
biscuit groups ornament the centre
of the table, posed on the crystal lake.
They stand at the corners or surround
the fiat glass, relieved by tiny vases
holding an odd flower or two.
At shop where the finest table
decorations are sold was shown a
biscuit porcelain centrepiece, quite
large, called the Triumph of Bac-
chus. Beautifully designed and full
OF an airy grace, it was pictorially
decorative. The price is $50 francs.
A smaller biscuit group, a Faun
and Bacchante, designed for the
same purpose, is IS francs. A temple
of TriaAon of bronze and crystal, with
the mirror foundation, is 800 francs.
OF splendid old SAKE is Temple
costing $50 francs. There are vases
of veritable SAKE for 35 and IS francs,
and fascinating boudoir lamps ready
to be fitted to oil, gas or electricity.
in lovely porcelain, with shades
matching exactly in color and design
the porcelain of the lamps.
To mark a place at table are sill
yer plated vases Two small vases
are held together by winding silver
wire that forms initials. Single vases
are arranged to support the name
card, or menu.
At a smart, novelty shop saw ey-
quisitely fine, hand embroidered and
hemstitched glove handkerchiefs with
narrow border composed of flying
birds or odd insects mingled with
pretty flowers and leaves. A tiny IN
itial turks in one corner.
4 saw here attractive new belts
for tailored gowns in dull suede,
showing particularly well against
cloth. In. charming colors they are
soft and in crushable widths fasten-
ing in front with clasp, appropriate
ly tinted of silver gilt. 3
From each side of the clasp fall
lengths of the suede cut into mar
row strips that reach nearly to the
knees. Others have narrow strips of
the leather showing plain spaces, al
ternating with slashes, to finally end
in slashed fringe ten inches long.
Still others had square fiat pocket,
just below the clasp, with its single
flap held by small colored stone.
