CmcAfio , Mny 23. [ Special Telegram to Tun
IlllE. ] Wheat did not break enough on pleas-
nut weather at the opening to get up a selling
crn/c , so the , prottd went wild on the buying
side. The wheat market today was the most
remarkable , In porno respects , of the season.
It uliowcd very plainly that wheat has too
many friends for any nmn or clique tomiiko
any headway In opposing nn advance. The
range of prices the llrst hour was 2o and this
nil ono way from the opening toward $1.00.
| - July started all the Way from l 5Jo { to05Jc. (
m nnd once past 05'ic , the closing prlco last
night , It went climbing to the high point of
the wcek-W'iC. Thcro Was a sct-baok. of Ho
to OOjio and another wave of buying put July
up tol7Hc * , n clean rise of 2c. From this high
point It went off > iotr > MUc and : i third bulge
carried It Io97ic , the top price of the morn
ing , and the top on the crop up to date. Thcro
wns a third drop tot)7o ) nnd a fourth rally to
WWe before 1 o'clock. Juno wheat was quoted
at tiOftnSc nnd September frotn lUo to Wic. The
trading of the day wan Nlgnlllcant at times.
The St. I.ouls bull crowd sent another batch of
bad crop dispatches , ono being that.Mcrhorsnn
county , Knnsa.i. will have butiio pcreentof n
crop. Tin-so dispatches were followed by
buying orders. Undahy again cut a llguro
In the market and bought both July nnd
fc'eplembor , but was credited with selling
out very largely on the llrst bulge to
1/7lie , and nn enormous line of wheat
was taken by Hiitcliliison. Ceitnlnly the lat
ter bought heavily and also sold around the
top. MeCormlek S : Co. sold on the same break
to ! XUc ! before noon. 1'orelgn agents hero had
buying orders , partly to cover. The southwest
bought on the poor crop outlook. The country
Is back of wheat nnd nothing but n panic ,
which no one Is able to start , will shake the
outsiders all this time. Ualiles worn bearish
and there were no export clearances to speak
of , but this made no dllTcrcnce. The senti
ment today makes $1.00 for July look
possible before the close Saturday
* If the news does not change. The wheat mar
ket lost much of Its activity the last half hour ,
but there was no material yielding In prices.
The last prices quoted In Hie pit were ! May ,
IrTiJc ; June. 7Hc ; July , O'Jioi August , IKJUoj
September , OGcV
The corn mnrket wns steady early and even
made n fair bulge with tlio strength In other
cereals tlio llrst hour. Later tlio market be
came heavy , declined ? jc from the best prices ,
nnd closed u f met Ion under last night , lluteh-
Inson. Jtohcrt Warren and Arthur Orr were tlio
best buyers of the morning. Ilaldwln . .nil

Tlio provision market promised early to bo
fairly nctlvo today , but the principal business
was done buforu tlio morning call , and then
trade petered out , as usual of late. MessMiork
Is let alone very hugely except when the clique
houses see lit to put prices down. The llrst
prleu for JulyawaHUtriOo at J12.05 and after
Milling at } 13.00 the price went back again
to tlio opening figure. Juno sold off to $12.77 ! ! .

were weak from start to finish. Exporters
were buying a cheaper grade 'ban formerly
and bought all the good bulls In sight. The
dressed beef trade were going slow and
chances wcro that quite u number would liavo
to bo carried over b r sold at lower prices.
Seventy-live loads of Texans comprised the
offerings , most of which were only ordinary
grassers , which In some eases sold lower. Cow
stock ruled low at the decline previously
noted , Iliitchors' slock of nil descriptions

vlow of siioh buying at tlio oponlns the profes-
Blonal trade acted timidly. The market dis
played less animation early than on any day
for weeks , and \vhllo Sugar Iteflnorlus and
Itlulu'iiond West Point still lead la deal
ings , tlio only other stock showing any
marked aetlvlly was St. Paul. A reactionary
temper was again Hliown and although
llrst pi-Iocs w > ro generally small fractions bol
ter than last evening's llgun-s , the Improve
ment c-onld not be maintained and most of the
Moeli.s traded In relltcd slightly below tlio

better figures uoro attained , though the only
Mock showing any real strength was Colorado

sives , torpedoes , submarine boats , dyna-
mlto guns and rango-flndors , the in
creased power and perlectlon of steam
and electric machinery , the improve
ments in powder and in steel for pro
jectiles ana for armor have not revolu
tionized naval science so much as they
have broadened it. The principles of
strategy remain the same , and so does
the noccsssty for the seaman's skill.
Engineers construct , inventors invent ,
experiments are tried , sham battles are
fought and heated discussions agitate
the naval mind , but the only thing that
can determine the real conditions of
modern naval warfare is a modern naval

AVOMI3N OF AKA1UA.
Tlielr Heavy Street Dress nml Gauzy
House Attire.
The Arab woman , save in rare and
pleasant exceptions ) , is hardly what the
poets and painters have shown us , writes
IL. ; . Wakeman in the Cincinnati Times-
Star. If she be graceful or beautiful it
is extremely dilllcult to discover it , and
she possesses neither of these attractions
after she is twenty-live , for she Is a
"wife at twelve or fourteen years of ago ,
whatever that station or condition means
among the Arabs. All there Is about
this being to become ecstatic over is
that subtle- prompting of poetic fancy
which ever , to the male mint ! peculiarly ,
blooms like the rose in any soil of ap
parent coyishncRS and mystery in the
gentler sex. The Arab woman is simply
ti vacuous , insensate , voiceless and
dreamless human animal , sheeted like
the dead In the streets and dead to the
world when within the four windowless
walls where the majestic being who
owns her keeps her penned.
The dress of the Arab woman is all-
concealing upon the street and all-ro-
vcaling in her homo. The dutcr garment
is the httilc , white , usually of woolsomc-
times of silk , often of cotton. It is fre
quently twenty feet in lengthand nearly
two yards wide. Beneath this 'is pre
cisely four articles of apparel , a giur/.o
chemise , an unstilTened corset or bodice ,
frequently massively ombroidcrud and
bojowelcd , pantaloons reaching to the
feet and comprising countless yards of
material , and tlio tantalizing adjur tied
tightly around , the face and falling
about twelve inches below. Most women
not satisfied with this retirement , or
perhaps more strictly speaking , most
women whoso husbands are not satisllcd
with this obscuration , further hitlo the
face by bringing the haik down over ono
side of the forehead , no that but one eye ,
a dark eyebrow and a tiny patch of the
forehead are visible.
Their feet are usually incased in browner
or yellow slippers : danglots und bangluts
of indescribable jewelry tinkle and chime
from wristsankles and concealed portions
of the llgure ; and.in Una swathing
of ghostly hawk , with humped bodies
and mincing stops , those who are al
lowed upon the streets at all wriggle ,
glulo and suurry along , like a bevy of
escaped wraiths from among the silent
graves upon the heights. But this priv
ilege of waddling about like n lot of
sheeted spooks is by no means a univer
sal one. The young and fair sco the sun
light only through the open courts of
their dwellings , or from the white terrace -
race for a brief hour toward sunset. Only
the aged and safe are permitted to visit
the mosques , with the exception that on
Fridays , in company with sorvantB or
oldoty , little excursions are allowed to
the marabouts or sacred temples , and the
khoubas at the cemeteries as at Belcour ,
where they are allowed the cheering di
version of lilling with water the llttlo
cups resting at tlio head of the tombs ;
for the birds drink from these and fly to
heaven with greeting from the bouls at
rest beneath.
Indoors the dress of those woinen is
ctherial enough for the most fervid ar
tist's fancy. They never sco in their
homo any male but their husbands and
children. Tlio climate , like that of
Cuba in winter , and excessively hot
from May until October , has also much
to do with this. Thcro are rarely but
two garments for ovory.day homo wear.
Ono is a gauze chemise , through which
the olivo-hued form is clearly rovealed.
The other is the wide , ample trousers ,
terminating just below the knees , and
almost as lleocy and gauzy in olVoct. Tlio
lowlier women are baru-legged , bare
footed and bare-headed at homo. Wives
of the wealthier Arabs will don pink ,
yellow or blue gauze silk hose and dainty
yellow babouchcs or slippers.
Their hair will bo coiled in a simple
Grecian knot and fastened with some
huge jeweled ornament , and porhap.s a
tiny skull cap , richly embroidered , will
rest coquettishly on onosidoof the head.
But all are licdccked with jewelry.
The poorer are fond of burnished copper
bands about the arms , wrists and ankles ,
or brilliant quart/ and glass cubes and
