i Provisions Live Stock: Grain and Stock Markets

RICHMOND MARKETS The high price in the hog market for which the farmers of Wayne county have waited so long, yesterday became a realization, as the price offered arose to $7.00 during the day. Many farmers when they became aware that the price had reached that figure immediately unloaded their hogs upon the market. $7.00 is considered a high price for the animals and it is not thought that the market will soar much higher "than that figure. The undersized hogs which find their way upon the market only bring $6.85. Wheat yesterday went to seventyfive cents per bushel owing to the lack of movement in this grain. Many farmers are still holding back their last seasons crop awaiting S5c to $1.00 wheat. Grain dealers say that their dreams of $K00 wheat will never be realized. Oats are finding their ,way slowly upon the market and although 33 cents per bushel is offered there seems to be -scarcity caused by the wet weather, last harvest Farmers who have good quantities of oats are having them " turned ' into feed' for hogs.

The play being produced was a good, old fashioned melodrama, with a snowstorm In the second act. The first acl was a drawing room. In this scene the hard hearted parent orders his daughter from his house, and, as she remains. Imploring his forgiveness, he pulls the belleord for a servant that she may be removed by force. AH went well until this point was reached. Unluckily, however, instead of pulling the belleord he caught the one which opened the snow box, and instantly the large white flakes filled the air and covered the carpet and furniture. "Bah! I have opened the skylight:' the actor. said, with well simulated disgust, and gave the proper cord an angry Jerk. Lippincott's Magazine. For Moiit flanda.

CHICAGO MARKETS

Publish-' Pressl Chicago, Feb. 5. The wheat market was opened firm and fairly active. The influence for higher prices were small receipts in the Northwest and an advance at Liverpool in the face of yesterday's decline here. The corn market was active and strong. The principal bullish influence was the size of the local receipts, which were considerably less than estimated. Several prominent bulls were active buyers of oats early, and shorts covered freely. The result was an active and strong market. The provisions market was quit and about steady. (By O. G. Murray's Special Wire.) OPEN. CLO. Wheat. May 78 V 78 Vs July .' 7S14 77 Sept 77 77 Corn. May .

NEW YORK MARKETS TPMbltshers' Preaal New York, Feb. 5. Opening stock changes were unusually narrow, the market ruling practically on a parity with yesterday's closing. The tendency was upward. Business was small, as a result of the interruption of wire communications by tho storm.

Railroads Not Benefited. The selling movement caused by the weakness of the Hill stocks soon passed off and the list rebounded to the earlier high prices, when trad'ng became quite dull.

He is one of the most notable scholars in Europe. One of the striking vicissitudes of life has been revealed by the death of an old cabman at St. Germain-en-Laye, France. It transpires that the unfortunate old fellow was entitled to style himelf the Marquis de Loz de Gouet-Gouraud. It is an old Spanish peerage, and in his earlier days the last unfortunate holder of the title had lived in circumstances befitting his rank. But the latter part of his life was clouded by constant misfortune, and at last, two years ago, poverty compelled him in his old age to take to driving a cab to eke out a wretched existence.

One way to keep good resolutions Is to lock them in the safe. To make sure of them the combination should then be lost and the safe burled somewhere in the sand. It Is easy to make good resolution. Any one with a saw, a hammer and some rusty nails can make enough in a few hours to supply an entire famllr. It Is the keeping of them that makes a man stand on bis head, metaphorically speaking, and bite boles in the stove lid. Ferhaps It would be the more satisfactory way to hire a cheap boy to keep the resolutions for the maker, first having him thoroughly searched to see that there are no tempting cigarette papers in his vest pocket. This way might be a glittering success, but for one thing. The humane society would doubtless step In and prevent this unnatural cruelty to the boy.
