CHICAGO MARKETS. CHICAGO, Trr., April 29. — Changing from May to July, with some little scalping by local traders, made up the bulk of the business inthe wheat market to-day. The buying of the near and selling of later months about balanced each other and served to hold prices at fairly steady figures during the morning. First quotations were better than the final ones of yesterday, and subsequently the gain was well preserved. Showers were pre- dicted for Northwestern points, to which was ascribed the opening firmness. Liverpool cables were a little stronger, and that, t0o, helped prices considerably. . Receipts In the Northwest were 307 cars, against 361 1as: Wednesday and 413 a year ago. Chicago recelved ihirteen cars and inspected out 29,750 bushels. Export clearances amounted 10 52,044 busheis. Closing Continental cables were irregular. After noon & break took pace, the reason for which iay in the Agricultural Bureau’s report on foreign crops. With a few minor exceptions the outlook was sald to be unusually promising. The same Teport stated that Argentina would have from 30,000,000 to 35,000,000 bushels available for export, instead of 15,000,000 bushels as was estimated previously. July wheat opened from 6414@6414c, xold between 6434c and 6334, clos- ing ac 6315@6354c, L4c under yesterday. ~Esti- mated Teceipis f0F 10-MOITOW SeVenieen Cars. CORN—Obtained material aid from the strength of wheat. There was nothing else on which to base the foundation for improvement. The re- ceipts were 194 cars, and 150,998 bushels were withdrawn from store. Liverpool cables were steady but quiet. Business was extremely dull and 1o evidence of activity was presented. Prices declined when wheat broke and all appearance of firmoessdisappeared. Export clearancesamounted to 228859 bushels. July corn opened at 3U35c, sold between 3015@3055c and 30%4c, closing at the inside, sc T vesterday. kstimated re- ceipts for to-morrow, 301 cars. OATS—Were steady. Business was of such a small volume that there was neither buying force nor selling pressure to cause essential alterations of quotations. Recelpts were 162 cars and 39,187 bushels were taken from store. The later easier tone of surrounding markets had its effect on oats. July oats closed a shade lower. Estimated re- ceijts for to-morrow 200 cars. FLAX—Was steady. Cash. 9114@91%ac; May, TLo@8 July. 90c bid, 9015¢ asked; Septem- ber, 9215¢. Receipts were 15 cars. PLOVISIONS—Hogs were quoted irregular this morning and product opened stexdy, not adopting either strength or weakness from the yards mar- Ket. Some transferrivg of trade f-om near to dis- tant deliveries took place, an | that went to make up the bulk of the trading. Like everything eise on the floor provisions displayed weakness late in the session. Estimated stocks of provisions in Chicagoon May 1, as given by G. W. Phillips Jr., will be: Pork, 160,000 barrels: lard, 170,000 tierces, and_ribs, 37,000,000 pounds. July pork closed T3ic lower; July lard unchanged and July ribs be lower.

Trade Seems to Be Shaping Better in the Easi Henry Clews, the New York banker, gives the following encouraging report of trade: *Gold ex- ports are much smaller than expected, and the outward movement usual at this season seems likely to be small. The reasons simply are that the trade balance is running much more favorably than & year ago, for exports are increasing and imports aiminishing, while our indebtedness abroad has already been reduced to & minimum. Should the present efforts of the international bankers toward creating & better feeling respect- ing American securities prove successtal that, oo, will bave a favorable bearivg on the exchange market, provided London buys our stocks and bonds with more frecaom, as Low seems the dis- position. “The treasury reserve Is already very hig! that the prospects of smalier gold exports than last year relegac: all doubrs on that score (o the disiant future. Railroad affairs generally are n more satisfactory shape. Heorganization matiers are making satsfactory progress, and favor- able developments in this direction are not improbable. Railroaa earnings in March were somewhat disuppointing; but some improvement may be looked for even if trade shows only a partial revival: and as the corn crop is finally beginning tomove that must inevi- tablv increase future earnings. The easier rates for money and beiter market for commercial paper are also indications of the general im:prove- ment upon which the present rise in stocks is based.”” MEETING OF FRUIT MEN. The San Francisco Fruit Exchange announces that “a general meeting will be held at the ex- change on Ffiday, May 1 at 3 P. M., whenim- portant correspondence from Eastern dealers and California growers will be read, touching the inter- est of every dealer or handler of fruit. It is hoped that dealers will make it convenient to be present.” PRODUCE MARKET. WHEAT AND OTHER GRAINS. WHEAT—The Ellesmere takes for Cork 83,683 ctls, valued at $89,958.

M f00t... 1 DU MAURIER AND MOSCHELES. The First Meeting of the Two Artists in Gay Bohemi We first met in Antwerp in the class- rooms of the famous academy. I was painting and blaguing, as one blagues in the storm-and-stress period of one’s artis- tic development. It had been my go?d fortune to begin my studies in P.nng. where, in the Atelier’ Gleyre, I had culti- vated the essentially French artof chaf- fing, known by the name of ‘“la blague parisienne,” and I now was able to give my less lively Flemish friends and fellow- students the fuil benefit of my experience. Many pleasant recollections bound me to Paris, so when I heard one day that a ‘‘nouveau’’ had arrived straight from my old Atelier Gleyre I was not a little im- patient to make his acquaintanc. Z The newcomer was Du Maurier. I sought him out, and, taking it for granted that he was a Frenchman, Iaddressed him in French. We were soon engaged in lively conversation, asking and answerin questions about comrades in Paris, ani sorting the threads that associated us both with the same place. *“Did you know un nomme Poynter?'’ he asked, exquisitel Frenchifying the name for my benefit. mentally translated this into equally ex- quisite English, my_version naturally being *‘a man called Poynter.” Later on an American came up, with whom I ex- changed a few words in his and my native tongue. *“What the deuce are you? Eng- lish?" broke in Du Maurier. “‘And what the deuce areyou?’ I rejoined. And we then and there made friends on a sound international basis. . It seemed to me that at this first meet- ing Du Maurier took me in at a glance— the eager, hungrdy glance of the caricatur- ist. He seemed struck with my appear- ance, as well he might be. I worea work- man’s blouse that had gradually taken its color from its surrounaings. To protect myself from the indiscretions of my com- rades I had painted various warnin, my blck‘, as, for instance, ‘‘Bill-stickers, beware!” “It i3 forbidden. to shoot rub: bish here,” and the iike. My very black hair, ever inclined to run riot, was encir- cled by a craftily conceived band of cro- chet work, such as only a fond mother's hand could devise, and I was doubtless coloring some meerschaum of eccentric dui?. Ivhas always been a source of legitimate gride' to me to think that I should have een the I;‘;JOI selected by Providence to sharpen Maurier’s pencil. There must have been something in my “verfluchte hysiognomie,” asavery handsome young erman whom I used to chaff unmerci- fully called it, to reveal to Du Maurier those dormant capacities which had been ‘I:)etu_ved in his eager glance.—May Cen- ury. ————— THE 8TOCK MARKET. The feeling was rather firm than otherwise yes- terday, but fluctuations were not wide. Business on the Bond Exchange was excellent. Capital seems to be flowing into the local securi- ties at an unusual rate. San Francisco has been behind the Fast for many years in speculation in corporation shares, but it is coming to the front in earnest now. The Redlands Orange Grove and Water Com- panv has declered a dividend of 6 per cent, amounting to $18,000. The Calumet and Hecla Copper Mining Company of Michigan has declared a dividind of $5 per share, or $500,000, pavable May 15. This will make $45,350,000 in dividends to (hat date. The Ontario Mining Company of Utah will pay 1ts fourth monthly dividend of 10 cents per share this year on April 30. At the delinquent #ssessment sale of the Con- solidated California and Virginia Mining Company 2800 shares of. capital stock, on which the assess- ment was unpaid, were sold. The last of a’few seats offered for sale by the San Francisco Stock and Bond Exchange at $2000 each has been bought by M. H. Grossmeyer, who has been elected & member of the exchange. Mr. (Grossmeyer was one of the charter members of the exchange, but sold his seat one year ago. There are now thirty members. This is the limit, and no more seats will be sold unlcss one of the thirty wishes to retire. The local stock and bond Dusiness has improved immensely of late. Three bars of Con. Cal. & Va. bullion, represent- Ing the first shipment on the present run of the Morgan mill upon ore from the mine, have an as- say valuation of $15,446 15, against a valuation of #11,029 26 for the first three bars shipped during the previous run.
