.WHEAT CENT HIGHER

8APID BBOOVERY FROM VEDKES. DArS D^&EI8IOK.

Other Cblcato Vitlitt wrnuillj Dull, Corn Cloalto* a Hhade

Chicago, Jan. 7.—Wheat opened strong and closed at an improvement for the day of cent per bushel, after an intermediate early decline to %c below the lowest it sold at yesterday. Some of the shorts covered, but many more are still out in the frtgid weather. A great deal of the strength came from the heavy export engagements reported from Boston. 6ther markets were extremely dull but steady, corn closing a shade higher, oats higher and provisions 5c higher.

Wheat had recovered from the extremity qt yesterday's depression by the time of beginning the operations of another day. It ptarted with a rise of or at from 81%c to 81o for May. Only for a short time, however, did the fair opening promise for the bulls oontimie, and they had to suffer another bad half hour before bull aews became strong enough to change the tolae of the market. In half an hour from the start May wheat had dipped to 81%c. In the course of the next hour it had recovered to 82%c. The fltm opening was caused by the opening strength .of yhWpodl and the small local and Northwest receipts. The Ohio stat6 crop report which g^ve tiie condition of wheat at 88, compared with 101, December l, also contributed slightly to the opening advance. Liverpool, while noting a decline there of %d percental to start With, ascribed It entirely to 6ympathy~"witU the previous day's depression here. Chicago reached ten car loads, compared with fifty-rone a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth got only 209 cars, against 261 a week ago, alia Ss8 On the corresponding day of the previous year. The temporary decline which followed the opening advance so quickly was partly because of second telegrams questing a further decline at Liverpool and partly owing to the bearish tone of the Cincinnati Price Current's remarks concerning the cohdUiOn of fill sown wheat, Evidences of cOritinlifed demand for wheat from the United Kingdom then' oame In and turned the course of the market. Telegrams from Boston, New York and Buffalo reported vessels engaged at the former place for great quantities 6t grain for the United Kingdom, in fact, all the, available ocean freight room at Boston until April. Buffalo said 750,000 bushels of wheat were uhder orders to go thence to Boston and a New York message reported that a good deal of the Boston vessel room was takeh for wheat from Chicago. About half an hour from the close May was bringing 82%c, and it closed at 8M4c sellers.

Oorn Was inanimate, notwithstanding some disturbing rumors about immense quantities of hot cdra in railroad cars at New Orleans and Galveston, which Were, however, officially eontradlcted, from both places. The pit was very small and the fluctuations lii price narrow. May opened at 25%c, declined to 25Vic, reoovered and closed at 2o»4c. The receipts were only eighty cars.

Oats were a shade firmer, as the break yesterday seems to have started considerable buying both to cover shorts and fbr the lorifc account. Trading was extremely narrow, what little business there was being in small lots. A rumor from Boston to. the effect that Charters for oats for three day9 amounted to 1,000,000 bushels assisted materially In the fate advance. May opened ^c. higher at 19® 19MC. sold back to 18%c and recovered to L9*fco, whGre it closed.

Trading in provisions almost fell to nothing today, not a single transaction being recorded In the first half hour. Opening prices were nominally a shade hlfther In sympathy with a lighter run of hogs than expected, and when Trading did commence this advance was maintained and a little more added to it, aided perhaps by the strength of wheat. At the plose May pork was 5c higher at ?7.8C May lard about 5c higher at [email protected], and May Hbs about 5c higher at $4.00.

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

A Tendency Toward a Higher Level Apparent in Wall Street. New York, Jan. 7.—The stock market today, generally speaking, reflected the efforts of powerful financial interests to neutralize the effect of the reduction of the Delaware and Htidson dividend. Manipulation was evident in the high priced stocks for effect upon the general list. A tendency toward a higher level was apparent at the outset which was influenced by foreign buying in this market and the execution of orders for commission account. The expectation of improvement in impending railway traffic returns stimulated an inquiry for the leading railroad stocks. Burlington rose a point and there was fair buying of the low priced shares on orders, principally from the West. Controlling interests in some of the specialties contributed support to the upward movement. The exception to the general trend of prices was the anthracite coaler group, which displayed heaviness. Chesapeake and Ohio was in good ipquiry, advancing to 18 on orders for foreign accouht, induced by the recent more favorable traffic returns and gossip of the probable declaration of a small dividend. The Upward rtfovement was checked soon after the end of the first hour by a vigorous drive at the high priced Industrials and a renewal of liquidation In the coalers and material losses were recorded in a number of stocks. Chicago Gas sold off 2% and Leather preferred fell 2T4 on rumors of a probable discouraging annual report. Sharp declines also occurred in Sugar and Tobacco. Delaware and Hudson was very erratic at the outset, but eventually dropped 2% per cent to 110%, rallying later to 112^4. New Jersey Central sagged 1% in sympathy. The railway shares were well supported and rallied easily, partly on covering. The closing was steady with the net changes unimportant aside from the specialties.

The bond market was strong and higher In most instances, some of the inactive issues excepted. The sales were ?1,559,000.

The total Sales of stocks today were 157,832 shares. Including Burlington 18,400 Delaware and Hudson 14,906 Reading 12,800 St. Paul 17,700.

VANITY FAIR.

It is qiiit'e a fad in England and Scotland for women to.wear as beit buckles one of the silver shoulder pins that Scotch highlanders use to fasten their tartans on the shoulder. They look immensely pretty against the bright silk of a plajd blouseu but it is next to impossible to get them, even in Britain. They are particularly appreciated because they are so hard to obtain.

It is said the duke of Marlborough treated the newspaper reporters in a very cavalier fashion during the entertainments at Blenheim during the visit of the prince of Wales and the prindess. Only three London papers were given any consideration whatever, and the representatives of the American press were said to have been treated like pariahs. This recalls the scandal which arose at the time the countess of. Warwick gave a big fancy dress ball at Warwick castle. The reporters from London came down in evening dress aud thin shoes. They were met by no cabs and had to plow through the mud both ways from the station. In the ballroom they were made to stand In a corner fenced off from the aristocratic guests by ropes. They wefe given no slipper and had to bribe a lackey to get even a drink of water.

It Is only within a year or two and then only during the hot weather that a Loudon maii making any pretension to Social position has dared to appeal- on the streets wearing anything on his head but a high silk hat. Now it IS seriously asserted that the reign of the high hat and long coat is broken and will soon be oVer. Th6 bicycle is responsible for this innovation. The black morning coat and patent, leather boots are also disappearing, owing to the same Influence and the fashionable tailors admit they are milking more bicycle suits, for men than any other style of Clothes, but they protest it is absurd to think the knickerbocker suit Is going to be worn all day long. They admit that etiquette at race meetings is not so severe as it once was and that it is now proper to appear in something else besides the silk hat and frock coat.

Bilt'tons of glittering imitation jewels are reigning favorites for dress decoration. They are wonderfully brilliant and very ambitious as to price. Rhinestones, beautifully cut, encircle sapphires, emerelds, rubies and amethysts so perfect in color that the effect is all that can be desired. White enamel decorated With pretty painted faces and edged with pearls and brilliants are really very pretty afid ediored enameled buttons set round with turquoise is another variety. Porcelain buttons are painted with Watteau figures and some of these.little miniature circles cost as high as $4 apiece. There are Dresden buttons and delft buttons wltli antique silver frames and .all Sorts of mosaic buttons and other combinations of silver, and rhinest.ones, steel and enamel, with every conceivable kind in jet, Brazilian beetles set round with jewels are one of the latest novelties and real tortoise shell buttons decorated with gold afe very popular.

AMONG LITERARY FOLK. The Brooklyn Woman's club recently fengaged in a discission as to the comparative merits of the work of Ian MacLaren, J. M. Barrie and S. R. Crockett. It was finally decided that Barrie was the greatest writer of th6 three because he never uses a superfluous word." The significance of this verdict, says a critic, lies in the fact that women have reached the point where they can de precate superfluous words.

Andrew. Lang, the English critic, is reSpon sible tor the statement that the people of our Southern states speak purer English than the inhabitants of any other locality in Amer ica: "My observation lead me to a different, conclusion. I believe the well educated descendants of the Scandinavian settlers of the Northwestern states are closer to the dictionary than the lafiguid Southerners or the erudite Easterners."

Interesting books could be made about tho newspaper verse and gossip concerning authors. In a recent issue of the .Writer we are told that "Frank Stockton declares that he sometimes waits an hour for a word." The tragic fe4ture of the picture presented to' the eye by this statement has given wings tp the muse Of a bright poet who says: "When Stockton, waiting for a word,

Is forced to make his Action tarry. The wonder grows that he should iiot 5 Find help In some good dictionary." it was not long before his death that William Morris said to a friend, "I have enjoyed my life —few men more so." When his friend talked to him. of the peril of a life of such Intellectual tension as his he simply laughed and pointed to the vigor of men like Gladstone, judges and political leaders. "Doh't they live all the longer for work?" he asked. "It is rust that kills men, not work." His concentration was marvelous and the amount of work he could turn out in a short time was stupendous.

The Bookman Is responsible for the follow ing: A well known artist of New York re celved, not long ago," a circular letter from a business house engaged In the sale "of California dried ftult inviting him to compete for a prize to be given for the best design to be used in advertising their, wares. Only one prize was to be given, all unsuccessful drawings were to become the property of the fruit men. After reading the circular the artist sat down and wrote the following letter: "The Dried Fruit Co.—Gentlemen: I am offering a prize of 50 cents for the best specimens of dried fruit and should be glad to have you take part In the competition. Twelve doaen boxes of each kind of fruit should he sent for ..examination and all fruit that Is not adjudged worthy of the prize will remain tile property of the undersigned. It Is also required that the express charges on the fruit so,awarded be paid by the sender. Very truly yours,

A lloy'B Power Over Aulmals It Is a curious thing, the power which some human beings have over animals. There is In Lowell a boy, differing in no respect from his companions, who has the power In a marked degree. Every stray dog or cat in the neighborhood knows him and loves- his company. A vicious horse, which the stablemen can with difficulty handle, will stilid like a lamb while he harnesses and unharnesses him. The doves fly around him,, and in the woods the wild birds apparently regard him as a friend and ally.

The most remarkable exhibition of his power, which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vicious rat was captured in the stable in one of those traps which, permit of easy ingress and no ingress. The men who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap, the animal showed such terror, but the boy, when he beheld the imprisoned creature, fearlessly put out his finger and stroked Its head, the rat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or a dog. Several days have passed since then, and the stablemen are still afraid of their capture, but he has grown so tame and familiar with the boy as to allow him to take him out and put him in the trap, will come at .his whiatle and manifests every appearance of Joy at his presence. There seems to be no question that the boy could train that rat to perform almost any feat within the power of such an animal.— Lowell Star.

NO LONGER "NOT AT HOME."

Merely '-Much Engaged" Goes These Days. Perhaps it is merely a fashionable whim perhaps it is a wave of sincerity and com moti sense which dictates that the venerable polite fiction "not at home" is out of date. The woman of society now sends word by her servant that she is "much engaged, thus protecting her own conscience and that of her maid. The well-bred visitor will ac cept this graciously knowing from expert ence how impossible it often proves under existing circumstances to set aside pressing duties for the chance caller. Formal vis iting Is now limited to afternoon hdurs as less liable to conflict with necessary ap pointments of daily life. The latchstring of hospitality still remains out for close friends, who drop in at all times according to impulse and convenience.

A fine line of courtesy leads the visitor riot to offer her card to the servant, but to in quire if Mrs. Blank is receiving. If

(an

swered in the affirmative, asks if she will see Mrs. S—. If in the negative, then the card is left as evidence of the call. Cards are in a measure falling into disuse, the English method of announcing guests being very generally accepted in the best circles of society, a pasteboard only being left when the lady is out or not receiving.

At social functions, aside from the dinner of ceremony, guests are not expected to take leave of the host and hostess when departing, a card lfeft on the table covering the point of civilty. This method is the outcome of afternoon teas and evening receptions, at which people come and go constantly between the hours prescribed by invitation, keeping the hostess occupied in receiving from first to last. These affairs afford opportunity to entertain twice the number of guests without the discomfort of a crowd when the service in the diningroom is continuous, Perfect independence is granted each hostess in the mattei: '6T menu and decorations, light refreshments and a few cut flowers now being regarded as true hospitality in the same degree as the more elaborate efforts of florist and caterer. The woman who "cannot afford to entertain" in the present day is hindered by pride and ignorance of society's ways rather than the light pockqjtbook.
