il, We are h.aking nothing. com par
ativelv." Ihey are suffering more
here than ouf business men IN n.
a great drawback upon the grain
business here is, that there IS not |
can;tal eneurh to buy the grain when
# Is offered. Ten or twenty thousand
b,Ishefs of wheat arriving In day,
an5 Il seems to 'telut" the market,
and nrices fall. This drives the pro-
dnce TO other points. They do not
have. and the banks do not seem to
furnish corn brokers with the means
to buy all the Grain that is offered, TO
hold over, and thus keep prices steady
I believe most of the wheat now sold
here is to miliers in the vicinity. st.
Louis will never compete successfully
with Chicago until she can say to the
men who offer wheat. we are prepared
to buy all you bring us. ~ aoi ~
Sunday evening the city was all
agog with the marriage of Nike Nc
Coole, the distinguished pugilist. For
two hours before Mickey" arrived,
the residence of the bride was sur
rounded with a dense mass of people,
two or three thousand, 1T IS SAID.
Look at the names connected with
the marriage and party to 1t, and DID
any one ever see a greater admlxture
of pure Irish?4 The ceremony took
place at the Church Of. st. Laurence

ties were Michael Alexander Nc

thing to hurry the coach that bore
