Lord" Jersey, who Is a man of 58 years,
rich, popular and respected, is principal
proprietor of Child's Bank, a rule of
which establishment is that one partner
should always sleep on the premises. In
addition to this a head clerk is constantly
on duty "keeping offlcership," as It i3
termed, and seven Junior clerks also live
and sleep In the house. Another quaint
relic of past days is the habit of calling
the front of the bank "the shop" and Its
back premises the "counting-house."
Much Is written of the modern business
woman, but she existed as a social factor
nearly a century ago. From 1S0S till 1867
Sarah Countess of Jersey ruled Child's
Bank as head partner, and signed the.
firm's books and shared profits until the
day of her death.— Tlt-BlU.

There was no change of any consequence,
either here or at Western centers. The Chi
cago letter of Bolton, de Ruyter & Co. said:
"There is not much change In prices. The
general feeling Is fairly steady, with senti
ment probably favoring- th;> bull • side. The
advance from the low point has been a mate
rial one. but has been contributed to largely
by the demand from shorts. Receipts of hogs
are moderate and demand fair. Several weeks
of what should be a good period of consump
tive demand are Immediately ahead of us and
this influences the speculative feeling. It is
therefore probably too soon to begin selling
provisions short and perhaps they may be
bought on the soft spots for .some profits."

"Market Is a little higher. There are fur
ther general rains throughout the West which
are not needed and which are unfavorable to
the growing crop. There Is also a cheerful
prospect of frost, particularly In the western
boundary of corn belt. The cash situation
la a fairly strong one. Receipts are moderate,
and corn Is being freely taken for shipment.
There is a large short Interest and equally
aggressive trading 1 on both sides of the mar
ket." .

FUTURES.
WHEAT — Foreign futures were weak. Chi
cago was higher on rains and predicted frosts
in the Northwest. The Chicago letter or Bol
ton. de Ruyter & Co., said: "We cannot see
much In the short side of wheat. We have
been bullish, both on facts and on the theory
The facts are that the world's crop of wheat
is short; the supplies of old wheat aro ex
hausted, and ' at current rates of consumption
it Is difficult to see whence supplies for the
year are to come. Stocks of flour are exhaust
ed and the demand Is large and urgent. So
far as this country Is concerned farmers are
v/ell to' do and both able and disposed to mar
ket their surplus slowly". Thesp are the facts.
Our theory has been that with small European
crops, considerable damage and delay by bad
weather and material Injury to other food pro
ducts, the European demand In this country
must soon materialize on a considerable scale
and become urgent. So far bur theory Is a
disappointment. We still feel, however, that
time Is the only element of uncertainty. In
the meantime -at the height of the movement
stocks are not increasing and are very small."
In this market the only change was a de
cline In futures.

Trading In the Fruit market was active. Re
tailers were stocking up for the Sunday trade
and the demand for shipment on the Puget
Sound steamer, out to-day, was steady. Mel
ons were the strongest feature of the market.
Two cars of Watermelons came In and as the
market had previously been bare pricea had
a sharp advance and the btock found ready
sale. ".Cantaloupes and Nutmeg Melons had a
further advance, receipts being light and the
demand brisk. Peache9 were firm, particularly
choice freestones from the mountain districts.

i dant and very dull. Figs moved freely and
I although receipts we're ample, prices were

; in rather light supply and sold well for phlp
' ping, with occasional lots of fancy Tokay
: commanding a small premium over the quota
i tlons." Offerings in large and small boxes were
.liberal and moved freely. Prices of Wine
Grapes were unsettled. Several cars were on
the track and the demand was limited. Sales,
of fancy stock were reported at $28 per ton.
but the quantities were too small to JUKtify
such a quotation. Berries arrived freely and
, attractive lots met with prompt sale at good
prices. Huckleberries were weaker under
heavy receipts.
