It was n ficed Unit the bud leaders gave more support to tht-ir favorites than yesterday, but there was also some buying for foreigners and n better attendance upon the street indicated that more interest was taken in the market. The features of the day, however, were C., C., C. and 8 1 . Louis common and • ■ abash preferred, tho former making a rapid rise of 2 per cant. Atchison soon regained ail of its early loss, advancing 1 per cent., and, like the remainder of the list, closed finally at its highest point.

The long drought nas retarded the maturity some three or four week s, and now about all the spring-planted rice will mature at once, and mature in the season of storms; so no mat tor what the prospect may be to day, to-morrow or a few days later may thr w doe u the whole crop, as was done last year, and as is now more probable, becaus* of t he later dates of ripening.

Fro'n Chicago Tribune. “Drop a quarter in the slot and hava your photograph taken.” A s iiitli side photographer was standing by a haudsorno cabinet, similar ip appear ance to tuo automatic weighing machines which confront one everywhere. "A qunyter! Why not a nickel?” “A nickel will do in three or four months when tiie novelty wears off. Bat until the automatic photographist is succeeded by* machine which will turn you out u house and lot n quarter only will work it. it is the latest thing out.” The reporter squared himself before a small closed opening in the cabinet opposite lus face. He dropped a quarter in a slot lower down. Instantly 11 little met il door unclosed tlio opening, exposing tlio eye of a camera. Thera was allis 1 of light, the opening closed, and in a couple of minutes a photograph of himself foil on tlio salver b**foro too reporter. “Mow did you strike such an idea?” “A board if trade man suggested it,” said he "lie said there was big money iti it. Eleven weeks ago j slatted at it, and horn it is, patented with a corporation behind it —all ready to tike ia the quarters. And it will take them in, for it is the only in vention of tiie sort tha' appeals directly to the vanity of the public.” W hile apparently complicated, the me chanism of the machine turned out to tie ■dmpla. It is run by an ordinary coll bat tery, tho quarter completing tue current. An instantane us camera is supplied with the necessary light liy a flash of magne sium and chloride 01 potash, dropped for each photograph on a pan above tiio open ing and ignited by the heat of platinum wire. Too photograph is taken on a cellu loid sheet about the sizi of a tintype. A set of rollers and a preparation of collodion in emulsion develop* ( and drlod tho impres sion. The likeness issMes much better fin ished than the ordinary tintype. "The machines cost nbo it $59,” said the photographer. “The expense of operating them is next to nothing. We will soon have them in every hotel, drug store, and sa loon. “Are you going to utilize tho invention for *ny other purpo o than amusement?” “Yes; for two serious purposes [have a machine imasr construction which is to have the nppo'inince of ncl ick, aid be placed at the railings ot cashiera and tollors in banks." “Whut for?” “To enable them to take a photograph of nnv one who cashes a check iu case they should want to identify him afterwa and. While the man is before the railing the cashier or teller will press an electric but ton and tho man’s photograph will be taken 1:1 a tenth of >1 second, U 0 will see nothing but a sight flash, and couldn't get away if ho tried baforo the instrument lias indelibly recorded his features," “And the other purposef’ "A similar machine will he mads for use in tho police stations. The p lotographs of suspects and criminals may be obtained without their knowledge and the consequmt distortion of features which characterises so many 01 tho forced photographs in the Uogues’Gnlleirv.” MILL SUPPLIES.
