Some Easter Customs.

Some Of the old Easter customs are
crriously barbaric, and even at the
present time the observance of this
particular festival is surrounded with
more or less superstition, just enough
to lend to it the charm of mystery.
Twentieth century maidens don
bright yellow garters. secure in their
belief that they will be engaged before
the year ends, others give their tresses
"a hundred strokes three times" with
the brush while thinking intently of
their hearts desire, and who does not
take good care to wear her new things
on Easter day?
Among the earliest of Easter Gus
toms are the following:
At Queens college, Oxford her
ring placed by the cook to simulate a
man on horseback is set in a corn
salad and brought to the table. This
is supposed to represent red herring
riding away OH horseback and is the
last vestige of the once popular pag-
eants of rejoicing
1t was ertswhile habit in English
towns for the boys, after the Easter

WHEAT MARKET:
IS UNSETTLED
CONFLICTING VIEWS REGARDING
KANSAS CROP REPORT THE
CAUSE; CORN Is FIRM.

Chicago, April Acknowledging views
In regard to the Kansas crop report
unsettled the wheat market today, but
most operators inclined to bearish
idea Of the document. Accordingly, a
decided sag in the price level followed.
The bull contents of the report was &C
cepted at Liverpool but not here, on
the ground that the report made d
showing much less favorable than
had been expected. Chicago traders
gave notice chiefly to the fact that the
condition stated 1875 was better than
previous figures and that the acreage
abandoned was seven per cent less
than year ago. Opening prices were
y lower to nc up. July started at 86M
to S7Ac., the same as last night to u
down, and fell to s611 dDs6bc.
Denials of big contract settlement
in the May options led sharp rally.
The close was firm with July Nc net
higher at s7hc.
Small receipts and good cash demand
made corn firm until the influence OF
wheat weakness caused reaction.
52ak to 52Mc, declined to 52Ac.
Later the market reacted with
wheat. The close was firm with July at
52k@52Ac, net gain of Nc.
Support in oats was limited. but the
market held fairly steady In the face OF
heavy selling. July started unchanged
at 31hc and touched 31ssc.
Heavy sales of lard by leading
packer carried down provisions. First
transactions were at last nights fig
ures to 10c below with July delivery
for pork at $15.15; ss.22h for lard and
1920 for ribs.
