Liverpool Game Higher on Polit
ical Outlook Between France
and Germany.
French Acreage Reported 500,000
Bu. Short of the Normal
Past Five Years.
Paris Raid Markets and Opening
and Find No Demand Above
Put Price.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Feb. 21.
The bulls this morning were feeling better when
Liverpool second cables were reported V2@*k
higher, and scalpers bought* quito a little wheat
on the early curb, shorts covering considerable
and opening the market strong at an advance of
%c over the closing price of yesterday.
The demand seemed to have been pretty well
supplied befoie the opening and the bears took
advantage of this to start a raid at the market,
one, or two of the more prominent traders sell
ing wheat freely, prices gradually giving way
under the pressure of short wheat, until the mar
ket had gone below the previous closing figure.
On this break there was a little demand from
the small shortb which absorbed offerings for
the time being the market turning upward for
i*c gain.
Renewed selling on the advance for both long
and short account, soon put the price
and within a fraction of yesterday's low point,
and into put price, where the buying became
a little better, with scalpers buying against
their puts, took care of all the offerings. Later
a little better buying was noticeable, the mar
ket firming up and advancing fractionally.
There was little in the news outside of the
foreign cables. Local stocks show an increase
of 100,000_bu for five days. Receipts 422 cars,
a holiday a year ago, Duluth 72 cars, Chicago 19
cars, Kansas City 09,000 bu, St. Louis 46,000
bu and Winnipeg 131 cars against 67 a year
ago. We shipped out 51,500 bu of wheat and
55,719 brls of flonr. Cash demand only fair,
with the discount a little wider. No. 1 northern
selling at %c under May and No. 2 northern at
2@2%c under May.
The market rallied on a report from Broom
hall that the French acreage was 500,000 acres
less than a year ago. Trade light in the final
hour and the market moved within a narrow
range, showing little change at the close from
yesterday's figures:
Broomhall's Liverpool cable Tead: "Wheat was
firm at the opening, with values %d higher, fol
lowed later by a further sharp advance of
4@%d. Support was stimulated by the Indian
official report issued late yesterday, and cov
ering a period between Feb. 4 and 10, and a
decline in consols, which started shorts cover
ing. On the advance, however, there was some
little realizing and values eased slightly. Corn
was quiet at the opening, with values un
changed to %d lower. Pric.es later advanced
%d In sympathy with wheat and some covering
by local shorts."
Forecast: Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, fair
tonight and probably Thursday, moderate tem
peratures Michigan, fair tonight and Thurs
day, slightly cooler east tonight Wisconsin,
fair tonight. Thursday probably increasing tem
peratures and warmer Minnesota, fair and
warmer tonight. Thursday partly cloudy with

South Dakota, fair and warmer tonight. Thurs
day probably rain or snow and colder Nebraska
and Kansas, generally fair tonight and Thurs
day.
THE FLOUR MARKET
The mills continue to ship out about 50,000
brls a day. practically all of which Is for do
mestic account. The demand is only fair, the
lecent decline in prices not bringing in a much
new business as expected. Eastern buyers tak
ing hold in a hand-to-mouth way and waiting
for the market to become more settled.

WHEAT MARKET OPEOTcft) STRONG. BUT
FIRMNESS WAS TEMPORARY.
Chicago, Feb. 21.Influenced bj higher prices
at Liverpool the wheat market here todav jpene
strong on active buying by shorts. The May
option was up i'.@%c to ,fi|% at 82%@82%c:
The market, however, failed to retain its initial
firmness, prices yielding materially on free sel
ing by pit traders. The May delivery lost all
of its earlv gain, the price dropping to 2
@82%c. The selling was due largely to con
tinued mild weather in the United States. -Min
neapolis. Duluth and Chicago reoorted receipts
of 513 cars, against 286 cars last week and
a holiday a year ago.
The low point for May was touched at 82c.

AN AUTO STRSSTSWEEPER
New Machine Used in Paris a Lafcor
Saving Device.
Street sweeping ami sprinkling is the
latest use to which the automobile prin
ciple has been applied in Paris. The
device consists of a large automobile
truck fitted with a 470-gailon tank and
a rotary brush fixed diagonally across
the lower frame of the vehicle. A.
twelve-horse-power gasolene motor
drives the machine. In front of the bijj
brush is a sprinkler to discharge a spray"
which first lays the dust before it is
swept by the brush. To the- rear of
the brush is another- spray attachment
which discharges water to sprinkle the
street for a width of twenty feet after
it has been swept. The new machine
accomplishes as mn'eh work as si
street-eleaners and se.verM4'fibrse.waterx

PRICES FALL AS RESULT OF DE-
PRESSION ABROAD.
Great Northern Preferred Drops Four
Points at Opening, Falling to 6V2
LaterOther Northwestern Roads
Experience FallsMarket Bare of
Supporting Orders.
New York, Feb. 21.Prices declined a frac
tion at the opening of the stock market today
with the exception of a few specialties. The
market was affected by the depression abroad
caused by the Moroccan complication. Great
.Northern preferred dropped 4 points, Northern
Pacific 1 and Wabash and Canadian Pacific
large fractions. The volume of business was
moderate.
After successfully restoring the opening losses
and obtaining some margin besides, the market
weakened again and some stocks fell to a lower
K'vel than at the beginning. Momentary ad
vances of ltf(/l% in Heading, New York Cen
tral, Northern Pacific, Minneapolis, St. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie, Colorado Fuel, Locomotive and
Brooklyn Transit were yielded and losses es
tablished of 2% in Northern Pacific and 1@1%
In Missouri Pacific, North-Western, Colorado &
Southern, Smelting and Lead. The market was
still heavy at 11 o'clock and showed but little
Improvement.
After lying Idle and almost motionless prices
ran off sharply. The drop In Great Northern
preferred reached 6%, Northern Pacific 3%, Del
aware & Hudson and Tennessee Coal 3, Smelt
ing 2%, North-Western 2%, Lead 2 and Head
ing, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, New York
Central, Illinois Central, Louisville & Nashville,
Denver & Rio Grande, Amalgamated Copper and
others a point or more.
The declines were made on small sales. The
market came to' a standstill again without a
rally. Bonds were heavy at noon.
The- market was apparently bare of support
ing orders, but the decline ceased at Intervals
Without any effective rally.
Among the most recent losses were Federal
Mining 6%, Lead 4, General Electric 2% and
St. Paul, Southern Railway, Southern Pacific,
Erie, Wabash, Locomotive, Brooklyn Transit,
Colorado Fuel and People's Gas 1@1%.
An extension of the decline brought prac
tically all prominent stocks within the range of
1 per cent losses. Except for the continuous
pressure, which was considered as significant
because of the inability of the market to shake
it off, very little in the Way of news or gossip
was in circulation. Amalgamated Copper fett
1% and Pressed Steel Car 2%, Smelting 3 "and
Federal Mining 9%.

points on the active months under local bear

Prices went to another new low level for the

10.36c for March and 10.57c for May, owing to
reports of a big spot demand in the south, and
prices rallied during the middle of the morning
to within 3 or 4 points of last night's finals on
covering and trade demand. Private wires from

BEAUTIFUL IN OLD AGE
LondonNothing in the way of
America's'wholesale absorption of the
world's art treasures has so annoyed
England as the fact that J. Pierpont
Morgan owns Sir Thomas Lawrence's
portrait of the beautiful Miss Croker.
The possession by a foreigner of
this masterpiece has always been
regretted, but ^the regret was es
pecially emphasized on the death,
which- has just occurred, of the
Dowager Lady Barrowwho was Miss
Croker^when England 'a loss of the
Lawrence was actually characterized as
a national calamity.
Lady Barrow wheal she died was in
her 97th year, and those who had the
opportunity of comparing the charming
old lady with the copies of Sir Thomas'
painting of the young original, declare
that while there is no doubt the latter
well deserved the title of the Beauti
ful Miss Croker, there is equally no
doubt that the former was the lovely
Lady Barrow.
Lady Barrow's record of lasting
beauty is unparalleled. She lived" a
beauty in the reigns of five English
monarchs, was a belle of the regency,
a reigning toast in the gallant days of
George IV, was presented at court
when William IV. was king was a
favorite all thru the Victorian era, and
a beloved old lady in the reign of
Edward VJJ.
Despite all this record as a belle and
beauty, Miss Croker had no more van
ity than a child, and it is on record that
at the time her loveliness was univer
sally talked about, she made a vow
and kept itnot to look in a mirror
for two years. As Lady Barrow, she
was not only a grande dame, but was
a most benevolent woman and will be
sincerely mourned by the poor as well
as by members of her own admiring
circle.
NEW BOON TO BACJBLELORS
I have been wondering for some
time,''" said the girl in the white shirt
waist, who uses all of those little hand
sewing machines that we sell nowa
days, l'esterday I found out. It is the
men. I had noticed for several weeks
that the masculine shoppers investing
in those handy little contrivances far
exceeded the feminine, but I set their
ponderance down to good-natured obe
dience which impelled them to buy at
their wives' or sisters' behest.
"But yesterday afternoon a good
looking, helpless Hercules came in and
made inquiries about a machine. His
manner showed me he was not hamp
ered with many women folk, so I fin
ally plucked up enough courage to ask
him for whom his purchase was in
tended.
'For myself,' he said, innocently
'I've seen so many of the fellows up at
the school fooling with thenf this win
terI'm a medical student, you know
that I thought I would see what kind
of a stagger I could make at my own
mending. You have no idea what ex
pert sewers some of the boys have be
come. I believe they could make a
whole suit on one of these little ma
chines. I've seen them make all kinds
of repairs. They were all pretty awk
ward in the beginning, but they perse
vered until they got so they could turn
the crank with- one hand and guide the
cloth with the other as well as any
woman.'
"The young man's breezy explana
tion nearly floored me, tout in the light
of preceding experiences I knew it must
be so, and I fancy that if seams had
voices a goodly number of them couid
tell "of their origin on hand sewing ma
chines that have been run by the bachc
lors of New York.'?,--

Creator of the "Ingenue Mop" Coming
After More American Dollars.
Metropolitan Magazine.
Cleo de Merode, whose well-adver
tised visit to this country a few years
ago, which preceded her appearance on
the stage in New York, making her
ephermerallj- noted, is about to "perpe
trate another dash into publicity on
this side of the Atlantic. She has not
yet engaged her press agent, and the
coupling of her name with that of the"
king of Belgium is np longer an inter
esting nor a popular item or news. And
so one is led to speculate upon the
course to be pursued to make her suf
ficiently conspicuous and sound as an
investment for the American theatrical
manager who is daring enough to try to
revive an interest in this petite Pari
sienne.
It should be enough for one woman
even a French womanto have origi
nated and popularized a new style of
hairdressing. Doubtless in the far fu
ture, if her name is recalled at aiL,
Mile. Merode will be remembered as
the creator of the "ingenue mori,M
which for a time held the favor of the
feminine population in a grip equaled
only by the Marcel wave that is now
rippling over the locks of all civilized
wom?nkind that has access to hair
dressing shops.
In the French city of Beauvais a
small vehicle, built with two wheels
and drawn by a man or boy, is in com
mon use. It is called a vinaigrette.
