the early part Of the evening and was
IN a decidedly merry humor He cap

ardent sympathizers of the allies would
be apt to bury his differences and ad-
rnire the display.
There was particularly happy fea.

the real Americanism displayed on the
part of the crowd. The bazaar was

Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Corn and oats
were both higher, the former TX @
1asc and the latter B@1c. There was
a buying movement in corn with
shorts evening up their position, and
also some buying by investors. Oats
departed from their usual course,
making moderate. response to the
strength in other grains.
Cash sales of corn today were 65,.

Provisions were slow on the whole,

early in the day when there was an
