The following from the current mar
ket reports from Chicago will be in
teresting to local potato men, growers
and sellers: 49,.
Receipts of potatoes rose to 410 cars,
against 354 cars the preceding week,
and 3S4 cars a year ago. This supply
was more than the trade could handle,
and prices went down to the lowest
level of the season, sales OF fancy
stock being made as low as 3S cents a
bushel. In spite of the decline, the de-
mand continued lethargic, and the
market had a depressed undertone to
the close.
New potatoes came forward in larger
quantities, but they continued to meet
with favor and sold at firm prices, sup
plies being closely absorbed before the
last day of the week. Sweet potatoes
were weak and slow sale. The season
for sweets is on the wane, and there
is evidence that the consumer is tir-
ing of them Arrivals were not heavy,
but still in excess of the immediate
requirements of the trade, and some
had to be carried over unsold.

Wheat market is quiet with demand
moderate. Arrivals from the interior
are smaller with quality poor. Corn
market is steady with the demand
quiet. Arrivals from the interior are
very light. Our Argentine agent esti
mates the exportable surplus of corn
at 100000 which compared with
S6,443.OO0 exported this season up to
date.
Wheat market was steady at the
opening with prices Ad%C higher
and during the morning further ad-
vanced 4 6%c. During the early trad
ing the principal buying was in May
but later March developed pronounced
strength on covering by shorts. Ar
gentine shipments were about as ex-
pected but were largely directed to the
continent and these together with the
small Australian shipments and the
fact that two cargoes of Australian
wheat just arrived off coast have been
ordered to the continent. Shorts
covered and offerings were decidedly
lighter owing to the firmness of all
cargo offerings for distant delivery
from which there is a better demand.
At midday the market was very firm
and 9s61d higher.

A TRYING ORDEAL.

Tho Fattening Process Of Marriage
able Girl In Tunis.
The manageable girl in Tunis has a
trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not Of her choice.
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
AS soon as the betrothal takes place
she is taken to q room and there COOP
ed up till the fattening process is con-
Guided. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task OF her parents and future hus-
band is to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles.
II the husband is widower or has
"discharged'' his first wife the girl has
the shackles Of the first spouse placed
on her, and she must fill them out.
1t takes long time to do this as q
rule. and sometimes it cannot be &C.
complished in spite of all efforts. It is
then open to the future husband to cry
of the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case Of bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that is. If he is fond
Of the girl-but If he is being forced
into the marriage by his parents he is
a great stickler for custom. Stout
girls are the more quickly snapped IN
