The trade of the week ending Oct. 13 did not reach expectations. The business of the first week of the month led to the belief that the volume this month was to reach old-time proportions. But the first half Is away off. In fact, none of the wholesale houses, unless it be groceries and confectionery houses, did the business anticipated. With dry goods men there was fair trade, but by no means as large a3 In the two or three preceding weeks, and with thl3 more complaint is heard of slow collections. On Commission row nov Is the time when the merchants expect to be exceedingly busy, but they complain of quiet trade. In prices there were but few fluctuations. Sugars and coffees, which have been unsettled, carried a steady tone through the week. Provisions, which went off lie on Monday, have remained steady since. Eggs are c higher than at the beginning of the week, and poultry Jfcc lower. Irish potatoes are weak at a decline of 5c per bushel for - the week. Quinces, grapes and .apples are all in abundant supply and selling low. Iron dealers and hardware men report trade satisfactory, but not up in volume to tnat of preceding years. The hide market is quiet, prices going off He all round during the past week. In the local grain market it was an off week, attendance on 'Change small, bidding spiritless and an all round tame market, ine week closed with corn a cent lower than on Monday and other cereals practically unchanged, as follows: Wheat-No. 2 reu. 4Sc, No. 3 red, 44c; wagon wneat, 43c.

A You n ir Lndr Oluterver Says that Cnpllvntlon Ends vlth Youth. New York Sun. "Some women fatigue me greatly," said a young lady of observation to the reporter. crumpling up a paper In one hand ana reaching for a cigarette with the other. "Now here's one of them has been -writing a lot" of would-be sentimental stuff to the Bizarre, saying that women have two stages of captlvation: the first that of physical charm, and the second that of experience, and that the second state is bet ter than the first. Is It? Well, all I have to say Is that I m not in the least anxious to run for that sort of consolation stakes yet awhile. Just write it down, if you please, that youth is the period of nower. I don t mean bread-and-butter youth, but the youth of physical charm, just as this writer says, when the bloom Is on the cheek and the sparkle in the eye. when the flesh Is firm and full, the teeth brir.lant. th hair shining, tne step light, and the shape lithe the years from twenty to thl Ty-five. . "Now. she's all right there. That's the time when we women are In it when we boss the whole world. But when she says that there's a 'superior captlvation to that exercised by the mere fleshly beauty' she's away off. That time when a woman Is no longer exacting and when she alms to make people comfortable is all very well and very lovely, of course, but don't you ihlnk for one single instant tnat u s the best ami strongest period in our lives. W e can say bo, but wa don't believe it. We can take our little tin dlppere to the still pools of philosophy and say, 'Oh. aln t this delicious and soothing?' but I notice one thing, we're mighty careful not to look at ourselves in the bottom of the dipper, and we've got to get home before the dew falls. No. thank you; I want something not quite so still in mine, and I don t want to know what time it is. "Don't mistake me now. I don't mean to say that there are not lots of fascinating middle-aged and old women. The charm of their companionship Is delightful. Their graciousness Is supreme. Their unselfishness is adorable and ad. Their knowledge of the heart is great. They are placid and pleasant. As I said just now that's all right, nobody is saying a word against that state ment of things; but to say that ycu must pass thirty-five before you can enter upon your mo3t captivating period well, now. tnat just makes me weary. "Do you mean to tell me that the cleverest woman in the world, with fish eyes be hind her spectacles, has more powers of captlvation than a young woman with eyes like wet sapphires and a skin like a warm rone leaf? Is a learned wrinkle more captivauns man a wicKea dimple? Is a mouth full of comfort and dentist's work more captivating than the smile of lips that are firm and full, with teeth and gums that look like a split pomegranate? Would you rather be patted on the head with a trembling hand than have me put my arm around your necK: would you be led awav bv n blue stocWnsr and a spring-heel gaiter further than you'd follow a pair of hUrk stockings in French bottines, do you think? Of courde not. "And then, bless my soul. Is a woman not supposed to jrrow brains until after she's thirty-five? Doesn't she get tact until she's forty? Hasn't she had any experience before she's fifty? Doesn't she know how to make a man comfortable hefore she's fifty-five? Do you think mre of my mother than you do of me, and is mv grandmother a more captivatine womak than both of us? What nonsense! Why, It's the very horror of life that we've got to grow old. and all the smug phllo-sophy In me wona won 1 cnanee tnat truth. Calm. contented age Is a blessed portion, but we only get it after the hard fi?ht of resignation. It's a time of self-abnegation and reminiscence. But " it ain't a time of su perior captlvation and never will be; and the wise woman, when she gets there will keep her glasses on and not try throwing sneep s eyes at young men when she s warmed up on her third cup of tea." Drying?. Tomatoes. Philadelphia Times. With our present facilities for canning and preserving tomatoes In many ways, it might seem strange to think of drying tnem. out in some countries this Is a com mon thin.?. In Italy an extensive business Is carried on in drying tomatoes to use during portions of the year when the fresh fruit cannot be obtained Tomatoes In that country are grown, for the most part, be tween rows of grapevines. Sometimes the plants are trained on the lower bars of the trelli3 to which the vines are attached. The tomatcea are allowed to remain on the branches until ripe. They are then packed ana pressea m bass made or coarse cloth, which allows the pulp to pass through. but which retains the seeds and skins.

When It has hwome quite dry it la broken up fine or ground, and put In s boxes or bags, and sent to market.

WHEAT ALONE HIGHER

STEADY TONE AT THE OPENING, BUT TRADirtG WAS XOT HEAVY. Scarcely Any Activity In Chicago Markets, Corn, Oats and Provisions All Heine Depressed. CHICAGO, Oct. 13. Wheat was very dull to-day, keeping within c range. Aided by better clearances and steady cables the market was steady, December' closing Uc higher. May corn closed c lower. May oats He lower and provisions lower all round. The wheat market opened with a slightly Improved tone, but with very little in creased activity. The clearances for the week were heavier than tho daily clear ances from the Atlantic ports had seemed to Indicate. Another reason for returning confidence was found in the steady feeling reported from England and the continent, e.nd the growing necessity which Eastern millers appear to be experiencing of coming to Western commercial wheat entre pots for red winter wheat. Some little strength imparted to the market by a private cablegram from Antwerp reporting an unfavorable outlook for the Argentine crop, was lost, owing to the apparent indifference to such news of the market from which it emanated. Corn was easier, except for a few min utes in the early part of the session. Busi ness was of moderate volume. The demand for lots for shipment was conspicuous by its absence and 190 carloads,- estimated as Friday's receipts, were considered also a bearish item. In oats. Carrlngton-Hanna bought oulte freely, but the general disposition was to sell. Provisions were weak because hog re ceipts were heavy and the expectation that next week's run would number 130,000.

Japanese girls are in demand for household servants, and that tne supply is so limited is owing to the greed with which the women of this land grab up every maid from Japan that gets as far West as New .York. Few indeed are these Japanese women who seek employment so far from their native land, but priceless treasures are they to those lucky enough to secure them. Tne fd, if so it may be called, for Japanese srrf.nts was started many years ago when Tomrnodore Perry, In command of a fleet of United States war ships, made a visit to China and Japan. It was the occasion of the -opening up of Japan to the commerce of the United States, and the officers were not slow In appreciating the vast efliciency of the Japanese and the lazy indifference of the average cabin boy shipped in the United States. Now the majority of naval officers have wives, and wives as a rule wish to know Just what their husbands have been doing and why they have been doing it. Consequently the naval officers were called upon to explain the superiority of the Japanese as servants, and though profane history hath it not in Its annals, it may be substantiated that more than one cabin "boy" of the United States navy was not a boy. but a girl. However, be such the case as It may, the seed was sown and a great demand for Japanese servants sprang ud. Especially was this so on the Pacific coast. There the steamers from Japan find a port, and the Japanese land and meet with the first check in the land that they have sought for fame and fortune. The rate of Western, railroads will hold even a native of Illinois in check when the fare from San Francisco to New York Is quoted, and when the unsophisticated Jap girl runs up against this demand she sees the sinking of a fortune in the piece of pasteboard and decides to remain at the Golden Gate. It Is nearer home, and the Jap always wants to feel that home may be reached some time before death. But few women of Japan do reach New York, and once here they have no reason to regret their choice of a domicile, for they command wages far in excess of other nationalities, and the reasons for this are many and strong. In the first place the Japanese girls are well brought up. That is, they are taught the great lesson of obedience at a very early age, and the lesson is so impressed upon them that It Is never forgotten. They are docile, and they can be taught almost anything in a very short space of time. Cniike the Chinese, the Japs learn intelligently. John or Jane Chinaman will learn a thing, but it will be as a parrot learns not understandingly, but by rote. With the Japs to learn the rules of a house Is to understand the work required of them, and to take an Intelligent interest In its performance. Rapid to Jearn. quick to absorb ideas and full of a certain savolr faire, the Japanese make model servants, as several New York women will testify. Women are proverbially more tractable and easier to teach than men, so the qualities discovered by the officers in the United States navy to be a part of the male Japanese character are intensified In the females who reach New York. I paid a visit to the Japanese consulate this week In order to ascertain how great the demand for Japanss maid servants was, and why tfaey were so much, in de mand. The consul told me that the Japanese made the best servants not because they had been trained in the way of service at home, but simply because tney were home bodies, and grew to love any one who was kind to them. The devotion of the Japan ese to their friends has never been questioned, and this trait extends from the highest to the lowest classes. When, there fore, a Japanese girl comc3 to this country and goes into service, she makes her interests the same as her employer's. And with a twinkle In his eye he added: 'They do not have so many sweethearts, you call them, as the Irish glrl3. In a family up town, who? entertainments are noted for excluslveness and nov elty, the only waiter permitted is a Japan ese girl. Sne Is the perfection of a servant. and is not the least of the attractions to the-visitors. Dressed in her national costume, pictur esque, modest and quiet, moving about noiselessly in her high-heeled slippers, she adds a charm that is lacking In many another house more pretentious and more ambitious. The Japanese girls are very quick In picking up the language of the country, and. while they soo?i adapt themselves' to our customs, they .never lose that fascination of Orientalism. . In a few weKS a detachment of forty to fifty young women from tha land of the Mikado is expected to arrive here, and al ready applications for over double the numn?r are on file at the Japanese consulate. No. 7 arren street The secretary to the legation said to me: "The trouble Is not to find places for the trirls. but to find women who will be good mistresses to them. We can find a place for every Japanese girl who comes to New York at a few hours notice, but what we must Investigate Is the reference of em ployers." Jn the meantime those women who are always ready to adopt the latest fad have been in correspondence about securing the services of a Japanese mail to wait uponthe door and to bring in the tea service on their "c.t home" days. Great Men and Their Cats. Harper's Young People. Not a few great men have been partial to cats.. Petrarch - had hi3 cat embalmed; Rourseau shed genuine tears over the loss of his; Dr. Johnson, sometimes called the "Great Bear," nursed his cat day and night during its illness, and went hlroKelf for oysters to tempt its appetite; Southley raised one of his cats to the peerage, with the high-sounding title of "Earl of Tomlemagne. Baron Raticide, Waowlher and SkaratchL" To Napoleon, however, cats were a mortal terror. Just after the bat tie of Wagram an ald-de-camp. upon entering the Emoeror'a room, saw him half undressed, with protruding eyes and per- , spiring forehead, making fncquent lun-es ' with a sword at the tapestry around th ' room.
