Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, March o.-Sharp ad- vanccs in the value of wheat resulted today from the" government report showing that farm reserves wee lowest since 1897. According to bull leaders, the report proved that the world>was confronting the most seri- ous breadstuff problem ever known.
 A general rush to buy was wit messed, but on the uoturn holders sold freely to realize profits. Open- ing prices, which ranged from 1-2@ Pc higher, with May at $1.9O@1.91 and July at $1.59@161, were followed by moderate reaction.
 Corn like wheat jumped up on &C., count of the bullish nature of the government report. The farm re- serves of corn were shown to oe below the average. After opening 7-SM1c higher, the market sagged a little, but then again hardened.
 In oats, as in other grain, the gov- ernment report had decidedly Strengthening effect. Commission houses were active buyers
 Announcement that the British gov ernment had taken control of all the lard and bacon in the United King dom and would fix prices tended to weaken the provision market here. Higher hogs failed as an offset.
 Heaviness developed later in wheat, the bulls tiring of their efforts to ad- vance prices in the face of free realiz- ing on all hard spots. Export demand seemed in ? large degree to have come to a halt and trere were re- vived rumors of cancellation of for- elgn purchases. The close was weak, 7-SG2c net lower, with May at $1.87@ 1.87 S-4 and July at $1.56@156 5-S.
 Later downturn took place in corn in consequence of the weakness of wheat. The close was unsettled at 1-SW5-Sc net advance.

NeN YOyl, Cotton.

New York, March 9.-The cotton market showed renewed nervousness and irrcguarily during the day carly trading with attention again di- vided between the vorable ocean freight situation and the steadiness of Southern spot markets. Liver pool made a steady showing and the opening here was 96rl3 points above last nights close right after the call. Liverpool was 9 moderate buyer on this advice, but there was further realizing. which checked the upward movement around 1762t for May and 16.73c for October. Reactions of 3 or 4 points followed on reports from New Orleans that no freight room for March was available even if rates were quoted and that very little was available for April.
 Tho market turned tirmCr during the middle of the morning on re- ports of continued shipments out of the local stock and ncWcd covering by near month shorts. Buying was not active, but there appeared to be very few sellers around the ring and Nay contracts sold at tI7lc shortly after midday, or 2S points net higher, while October worked up to 16.77c. making net advance of about 16 points.

Tomorrow night he is to wcd Miss Margaret Fleming of Buff falo. She is a Protestant. Burke would not consent to have the mar riase ceremony performed by other than a' clergyman of his own belief and Miss Fleming refused to become a bride if she had to answer to the vows read by a Catholic priest.
 One acquaintance suggested that they compromise and have the cere- mony performed by a neutral. Jus tices of the peace, aldermen, mayors and such like were barred. Finally Rabbi Rudolf, of Ohab Sholem syna- gogue, in Jersey City, agreed to off ciatc, and he proved to be acceptable to both parties. The wedding is to take place tomorrow night at his synagogue.

Dilapidated Liberiati Capital.

A dirty, dilapidated little town is Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. The houses are built of wood, brick and corrugated iron. They are steep, mar. row, shambling structures, with high pitched roofs and small balconies that are crumbling rapidly to pieces. The executive mansion, as the presidents house is called, was evidently once a 1retentious structure, but now it pres- cnts a rather sad appearance. Several of its windows are boarded where the window panes have been broken, and inside it's elaborate furnishings are worn and faded.

Fish in Deep Mines.

Through accidental imprisonment, mines acquire surprising fauna from the surface. Live fish-a species Of barbel-were lately noticed in a Trans vaal gold mine, $500 feet down a verti' cal shaft and are supposed to have fallen into the mines as spawn. When discovered they had grown to a length of six to twelve inches. In very dry weather young bullfrogs have been seen to jump deliberately down the shaft, evidently after water, and seem to have survived the fearful plunge.
