From the Chicago Herald.
 Seaforth Highlanders, one. of Scot lands crack regiments now at the front. have one of the most peculiar New Year eve customs of the whole British army. The ceremony is pie turesque and imposing.
 On the night of Hogmanay, at about 10:30 o'clock, the regiment assemblies in the barrack square. few minutes later. the oldest soldier in the battalion, dressed as a druid, makes his appear ish of trumpets. Ascending the im- Erovised throne, he calls on the vet erans to show their uniforms and achiev ements of bygone times. To the music of the pipes and brass bani vet eran after veteran, arrayed in tho uni forms worn by the regiment at dif- ferent periods. marches past and se- 1utes the druid. The druid then toasts "The Seaforth Eighlanders"
 After a display of Highland dancing the alarm is sounded. and the second oldest soldier. arrayed as Father Time, approaches. The veterans then retreat, leaving their honors to be guarded by their successors. and Father Time ex- pels the druid.
 At the last stroke of midnight a loud knock is heard at the gate and out rings the sentry's challenges: Halt Who goes therese?" "The New Year!' comes back the an- swer.
 Advance, New Year, and give the countersignw Is the next command
 ''Cabar feidth gu brathr' (the clan cry of the Mackenzies--i. e., the Sea- forths).
 "Pass, New Year; alls well!'
 The gate is then opened and the youngest boy of the battalion onters dressed as the high chief of ancient Ross to represent the New Year The colonel shakes hands with the boy while the band strikes up "A Guid New Year to Ane and A."

WHEAT SHOWSL
 IN DAYS TRADING Misgivings Over European Situation Has Depressing
 Effect on Bulls
Rate. Bid. Asked.

Chicago, March o.-Misaivings that Eu- ropean development before Monday would be against the bulls had a depressing eff feet today on the wheat market here. Prices however closed steady at a de- cline of ssds4c net. Other grain, too, showed a loss for the day, corn A@ssc to ssc, and oats 1ac to ss@&c. In provisions the outcome varied from the same as last night to 7laQ10c below.
 An early advance in wheat prices here, due largely to steadiness of quotations at Liverpool, was met by free selling on the part of longs.
 Corn was firm early with wheat, but lost strength when wheat turned weak.
 Covering by shorts lifted oats at the outset.
 Selling by packers eased off provisions.
