Decidedly Pretty Are These Small
Shells Set With Gems-Other
Jewslry in Fashion,

The girl who possesses one Of the
new lucky Wrinkle bracelets should
consider herself fortunate, for they
are truly pretty. They are made Of
little gold Wrinkle shells held together
by slender chains, and inside each
Shell there is an opal, pearl, turquoise
or some other gem. The opal looks
specially pretty. because it has the
semblance Of an iridescent dewdrop,
and even the grain" shows.
Coral Is fashionable now and Is used
for all kinds of jewelry, from polished
pear-shaped eardrops to carved pieces
set in brooches and bangles.
A pretty bracelet seen the other day
was made Of gold set with three
carved pink coral roses, two small
ones and one large one.
Another new form Of jewelry which
should not be forgotten is the butter.

CENTS IS
ASKED FOR CORN
NEW RECORD PRcE FOR THE
SEASON ESTABLISHED EARLY
THIS MORNING.

Chicago. Aug. 4.-Whether corn
would go above 70 cents a bushel was
settled today In a minute. The market
shot up to that level on the very first
trade and soon was far beyond.
Drought, already the most severe in
twenty years, promised to continue all
the present week, according TO the
government forecast. As a result, the
volume of buying today took on huge
proportions. The opening was n to
8Sc higher from Saturday nights
close. September which started at 20
to 70h, a gain Of Is to 1c. rose to IN,
In almost a verticle line.
The upturn continued still further
but then prices fell of in consequence
of heavy sales to realize profits and as
a result of showers at several Iowa
points. The close was nervous with
September at SO " to 69N, the same as
Saturday night to 4 higher.
Other grain bulged with corn. Wheat
was also affected bullishly by unfavor-
able harvest reports from southeastern
Europe and by diminishing receipts In
the American northwest. September
opened a shade to non higher at
ssM to ssh and rose to sec.
After a further gain, the market re-
acted with corn and because of an m
mense increase In the visible supply
today. The close was veal with Sep
tember h@Mc net lower at 87hc.
Oats developed Independent strength
on account Of assertions that thresh-
ing returns showed light weights and
small yields to an unexpected extent.
September started n to ~ up at 43 to
43& and steadied around 1890.
Provisions showed much ir~regularity.
Corn scarcity tended to q distant
options firm but led to semi panicky
weakness In nearby deliveries, espec-
tally September pork, which dropped
sixty cents to $40. 20. First sales on the
whole varied from 37hc of to 17hc
advance with Sept. as follows: Pork
$20.52 to $1,000; lard $11.45 to $11.47h;
ribs. $11.37h to 11.42.
