Prices Tumblins as Wheat Goes Down
Still Lower Prices Predicted.
Chicago, April 27.-As the price of
wheat goes down, millers are cutting
the price of flour 20 cents a
clip. One Of the biggest millers an
nounced that the price was $3.50, which
is reduction Of 20 cents from last
Saturday, and 50 cents lower than the
high price which was announced when
May wheat struck the top notch An
other milling concern still maintains
the quotation Of 81, which Is 20 cents
lower than their highest price, but it
Is said by others in the business that
no flour Is actually selling at that price,
and that for the last two or three days
the ruling price has been $3.50.
While the price of wheat shows fur
Their declines the price of flour is OK
pected to show corresponding tumbles
The latest European bids for American
flour are on the basis of 81 bushel
wheat and as European stocks of wheat
are rapidly increasing there is little
chance that prices over there will ad-
vance materially.

Chicago, April 27.-Only a meager
sprinkling of steers were found in the
1900 head Of all kinds Of cattle offered
today. For steers, there seemed to be
faridemand, but the quality of the
greater part of them was way off, and
yrices remained under the Sc mark. The
bulk of beef cattle were disposed of
early. Good to medium cows and heif-
ers were quotable. at steady figures.
After the hard pounding of prices
yesterday the trade looks for light runs
later this week, but with all orders
filled and a considerable surplus
stock, most of which goes over till
Wednesday, the market will need only
light supply of all grades and a dis
position to continue shipping freely
will only mean that the feeders must
sacrifice steers at a low figure.

Shippers and scalpers made an early
market, causing such good tone that
prices advanced 500 cents, but the

In explanation of the big yesterdays
run 1t may be said that the recent
break in the market resulted in a no.
ticeeable contraction in country ship
ments, as was shown by the light sup
ply that arrived last week. Prices grad
ually crept up to high figure and to
the country feeder it looked like the
right time to cut loose.

for holding some tools, as well as for
the many stores which boys and men
find constant use for. If it is rather
small then no place can be left for the
tools except for a small hammer, jack
knife and screw driver. The COM
partments are for string, cord, nails
and tacks of various sizes. resin, tags,
wax. screws. etc. OF course. it is not
necessary TO stock it before presenting
it. as most of the things which are to

the person for whom it is intended, but
enough things should be placed in the

\ LTHOUGH there are only few days
~ left before Christmas there is still
time for the boy who is anything OF
least one attractive Christmas gift for
one of his relatives or friends. There
is no time. of course, for elaborate
work Of any kind. but there are many
things which are easily made and
which will give a great deal of pleas
ure to persons of various ages. If one
is' trying to get up a last moment gift
of this sort it is well to consider first
what can be done with boxes.
1t is usually possible to buy for a few
cents light wooden boxes of various
sizes and shapes, or perhaps you have
such box in the storeroom or cellar.
In any event you are quite sure to be
able to obtain one for a very small
cost If you set out in earnest upon
the quest.
Now, as to what you may make from
it. The first person to consider is your
mother, and here is something which
you can make from various size boxes
for her.
One of the most useful things is a
shirt waist box. This may be any
length more than 81 inches. about the
same width and as deep as you like. 1t
is a good plan, If you can do so, to
get a box whose length will be the
same as the width of window in the
room for which the box is intended,
as it Is very convenient to have the
box fit just below the window. 1t can
then have a cushion placed on it and
Will serve as window seat.
1t is necessary first to secure fairly
good box or else If the boards are not
close together they may be taken off
and put neatly together again. The
top is put on the back with hinges and
casters are put on the four corners.
If instead of being kept out in the
room the box is to be kept under a
couch or bed you should have, instead
of the casters, small wooden wheels,
on which it will roll very easily. These
may readily be bought at a hardware
store.
When the box is completed and in
good shape 1T must be lined and COW
cred. The lining may be of some ma
terial or OF paper If the inside of the
box is nice and smooth Powered wall
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-18

paper or cartridge paper put on with
good paste is the best TO use. If the
inside Of the box is not smooth have a
cheesecloth lining instead. First cut
out six pieces Of unbleached muslin and
then six pieces of cheesecIoth. in white
or some light shade. rhe pieces fit the
sides. bottom and top Of the box. The
muslin goes next to the wood and the
cheesecloth forms the lining. Baste
each piece of cheesecloth to corre-
spending piece Of muslin and then tack
in the piece with tiny tacks.
The outer covering is adjusted in the
same fashion. It may be of linen,
denim, chintz or any material desired.
If the box is quite rough put on muslin
as on the inside, basting each piece first
to the outer covering. Then put on the
two together with small tacks, or, il
desired. you may first put on the mus
lin, holding it in place with a tack in
each corner until the outer covering is
put on. Garry the outer covering over
the edge of the box and tack it neatly
inside. Finish the lid in the same way.
At the bottom turn the material under
and tack it on the bottom of the box
Be sure to use very small tacks for this
II the box is to be kept under the
bed or couch it will only be necessary
to paint it or cover it with paper In
this same way many other useful boxes
may be made.
For younger sister any number of
toys may be made of boxes. There is
no picer way to make a dolls house.
One large box may be used and parti-
tions made of cardboard or several
small boxes large enough for one room
each may be fitted together.
Dolls furniture may also be made
of the boxes. A particularly easy thing
to make is a wardrobe. The box must
be of the proper shape and then all
that is necessary Is to put it on small
casters, hinge on q door and paint or
cover it. If you are going to paint it
the wood must be smooth. If it is to
be covered that is not SO necessary.
Then pieces to fit each side and the
door may be cut. from denim or linen
and fastened -on with small tacks. A
chest for dolls clothes is another good
thing to make for the small sister.
There should be tray such as a trunk
has in the top, which must rest upon
