Aamoneemcnt ta Parliament Ortes
Liveliest latereet la the
Kingdom.
(Copyright, 190i by Press Publishing Co.)
ROME, May H.-(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram. ) All Italy waa
profoundly Interested In ths announcement
made in tha Chamber of Deputise this week
that Queen Helena expects to become a
mother again next September. It la ear
neatly hoped that tha coming royal child
may be a boy, in order that King Victor
may have a dlreot heir to tha throne. Yet,
knowing Queen Helena's extreme fondness
for children, another daughter would make
tha nation rejoice,
Tha queen not only lavishes affection upon
her own two daughters, but she has a
heart big enough to take In all children,
even the lowliest Beatrice Morgano, a
poor, email child of Udlne. wrote plain
tively to Queen Helena not long ago:
"I have no dolla like other little girls.
I have become naughty. My papa scolds
ms because I talk always of dolla I
dream of dolls."
Tha queen, always sympathetic touched
by tha simplicity of the childish latter,
sent to Beatrice a doll so One that the
people of Udlne went to admire It.
The queen Is first of all tha wife and
mother. She arises at T o'clock that she
with her own hands may bathe bar own
children. - Sha sinuses herself by asking
for ths little ones such dishes as are
given tha children of her native land, Mon
tenegro, and the princes go Into ecatacy
over their mother's cocking.
Queen Helena does not Interest herself
In politics. When naked If sha haa helped
tha king to expedite current affairs she
said:
"I content myself with putting sand on
my husband's letters."
She does not take great Interest In tha
literature of today, for her husband rather
frowns on women who give themselves In
tellectual airs.
Thanka to her early training this queen
would make a good housewife. - Sha dreseea
In black usually. In Montenegro, shs says,
tha women of tba , sovereign house always
dreaa plainly, for splendid clothes would
abash their poor subjects. Bo tha queen
attaches very little importance to dress,
but expends her money in relieving distress
and In doing charitable deeds.
When sha appears In her oarrtage In the
Corao with . tha king all tha flna women
there outdaaala bar. Sha oftsn wears s
violet dress and Is seen ao often In It
that a woman of her court ventured to
say:
"Your majesty seems to be very fond ol
that dreaa"
"I Ilka It because tha king prefers It,"
tha queen answered simply. "Why should
I change ItT"

putting up for sale at Christies' this week
a number of drawlnga and pictures from

of tha Dutch school. There la ona vary
fine Hobbena, while there are several
drawings of the Italian school and a well
Known portrait of Gladstone by Frank Hold
and -an excellent example of Sir Edward

strange Is that tha duke should dispose of
these articles publicly. English aristocrats

seasonable weather was rather detrimental
and not ao much business waa transacted.
As compared with a year ago, however,
trade with both retailera and wholesalers
has been much better so far this month,
for It will be remembered that during May
of last year there were excessive rains
throughout this section of the country and
much land was under water. That portion
which was not actually flood ud was too
wet to work and as a result farmers were
rather discouraged and were not spendls.

conditions have not always been season
able, still farmers are getting along fairly
well with their spring work and In reality
have very little to complain of. Retailers
feel conndent that they- ar going to do

all classes of seasonable goods. The gen
eral market Is in a good healthy condition.
Sugar has been very strong all the week
with the demand heavy. Prices, In fact,
are a little higher than they were a week
ago, with every indication of their going
till higher In the near future. Refiners
are stlU behind with their orders and aa
the period of heavy consumption la close
at hand there may be some difficulty In
getting prompt deliveries.
The canned goods market shows no Im
portant change during tha week so far
as quotations are concerned. The short
ness of the aupply of California canned
goods becomes more important every day,
and it is exceedingly difficult to find any
assortment to satisfactorily fill in broken
lines. This shortage la particularly notice
able In peaches and pears. Prloes have
been made on future California canned
goods by one southern California canner,
but companies havs refused to name prloes
so far in advance of the season.
The dried fruit market Is In good con
dition. Peaohea have advanoed about H
cent per pound, aud pears are out of the
market, while very few apricots of any
kind are obtainable. The market on prunes
is about as last reported, Italians being
Arm while California stock has shown very
little improvement. The demand for all
kinds of dried fruit Is very liberal and is
expected to continue good for at least
sixty days.
Omaha dry goods jobbers report a good
Increase In their sales over May of laat
year. House trade Is as good aa could
be expected and mull orders, both direct
and through travelers, are better than a
yeur ago. it is very evident that tha feel
ing among merchants In the territory sur
rounding Omaha Is much better than for
sometime pust, aa they aire looking forward
to good crops, which means a brisk de
mand. They have sold much more of their
tock so far this spring than they had a
..ear ago up to this time, so that they are
a much better condition than they were
ust May. The outlook for the future la
Ubo much mure encouraging so far as
.Tops are concerned.
There have been no quotable changes In
the market for cotton goods during the
week under review and none are expected.
Raw cotton la selling just about the aame
as It haa for the last thirty dava, but
itocks In all markets are reported about
fO.Oi'O bales less than a year ago. It will

former time. That tha Omaha market la
growing rapidly Is obvious from the ex
tent and magnitude of tha preparations
being made for the coming season.
Leather Goods More Active.
Tha warmer weather of the early part of
last week caused a rapid movement of
leather goods from retailers hunds. It
takes but a few warm days to cause peo-
rle to discard their heavy shoes In favor of
he light weight, and as a result with more
seasonable weather retailers expect to do a
rushing business. Taking: the season ns a
whole so far they save out little to com-'
plain of, and they have no fear but what
their trade will come fully up to earlier ex
pectations. Jobbers are beginning to feel
the effect of the Improved demand In tht
country by the Increase In the orders both
dlreot from merchants and also from
traveling aalesmen. There have also been
more merchants in the city of la to placing
slslng up orders.

been very brisk, ami even. better than a
year ago. Jobbers still have the seme old
trouble of getting goods rapidly tuough to
meet the requirements of their trade, but
they have become ao accustumt-d to that
that they no longer consider a shortage out

The market is In very much the same
position it was a week airo. Prices are
firm all along the line, with nothing at tha
present time to Indicate any Important
changes In the near future.
The demand for farm Implements Is alst)
reported very good, the trade being gen
eral on all seasonable lines. The btiKsy
trade is also fully up to expectations, which
Indicates that people nave money to spend
this year and Intend to get some pleasure
as well as profit.
