The shrinlage in the Chicago
Grain and Provision Market

CHICAGO, May 27.-The Shrinkage in
the grain and provision markets is the
leading topic in commercial and financial
circles. Since the decline commenced The
loss on grain and provisions actually in
store here footS up into the millions. On
100000 bushels Of wheat Shtihkage Of
l5c per bushel-and IL has been fully that,
or more-amounts to S75OOOO. Tito this
be added the loss on corn and other grains
aud provisions, we'll informed parties ca.
innate the sum al fully $2,OOO,OOO, But
this Ia not all. The loss Ia doubtless
greater on options than on the stuff
actually in store, 40 that II may 10 safely
estimated that the shtinkage on property
and options in this city would be at least
S5000,O00.
II this tremendous loss fell entirely
upon our own dealers, many Of them
would doubtless go under but more than
half Of ll-some say three.fOutlhs-we are
assured, falls upon spectators in all the
surrounding States. They have sent their
money here without stint and sustained
and even carried prices to higher figures
during the rise BY the funds they have
put up a. margins through their brokers
and commission houses. Thus far the
loss has been so widely and so evenly dis
tfibuted that operators, with one or two
insignificant exceptions, have been able

II you will allow me a space in your
columns shall give you a few facts about
this part Of the world. The suffering Of
the people in the grasshOpper region ia
generally known, but the hard times in
West Virginia, caused by the drought
last season, lie in obsCurity,
Calhoun county is in deplorable con-
dition. Such scarcity of food has never
been known here before. Nearly all the
grain Of our own production is con-
sumed, and we are now obliged to rely on
importation for our daily bread. II

unfortunately 1t Is not. Many people are
unable to buy grain, and hence arc com.
PEELED to subsist on scanty ratiOns, Some
OF the farmers are said to be living on
one meal per day. One-half Of the peo.
pie have nothing but bread to eat.
Prices are as follows: Flour, 50 per
barrel; corn, 81 80 per bushel potatoes,
81 per bushcl; bacon, Is cents per pound.
II must DO remembered, too, that after
paying the above prices for provisions
we are, In some instances, compelled to
convey It to our lomeS OH our shoulders,
beasts Of burden being so poor rs to be
entirely unable TO travel.

notice in your issue Of the 9th that
your Moundsville correspondent speaks OF
the people Of that place being too heari!y
JARED to be able to do anything towards
building the new Court House.
Now We think il they are so heavily
taxed, and not able to do anything, that
they ought to stand from under and allow
any other place that can stand it and that
is willing to pay for the improvement to
have it, and thus save the tax payers OF
the county the enormous sum that it will
take to build the proposed Court House
ut Moundsville. This We will do in fair
and honorable spirit, build . good and
suitable house and donate it to thecOunty
SO as to free the tax payers Of the tax that
will have to be levied. II any other place
in the county will do better than what We
offer, we will have no objection to them
having it, All we ask Is fair expression
Of the people on this subject and We will
bow to the will Of the majority,

well,
From the MOund,vllle Reporter.l

From the MOnndlVllle RepOrteF
As our State exchanges are suggesting
suitable men to fill the vacancy caused by
the death Of Judge PAUL, we would sug-
gest the name OF Captain II. Criswell, Of
this county, as a suitable man to ill the
high and honorable position made vacant
on the Supreme Bench. Captain Criswell
is in the prime OF life, good lawyer,
possesses superior judgment, a public
spirited citizen, an honest man; In fact
has all the good qualities necessary to
make good Judge, and we hope our
friends throughout the State will feel dis
posed to give Mr.. Criswell their hearty
support for the position. We know Of no
one more deserving or whom we would
rather see promoted than Mr.. C., and
hope 1t will be the will OF the people to
place him on the Bench.

The Wonders Of q Flea.

When a flea is made to appear as
large as an elephant we can see all the
wonderful parts of its formation, and
are astonishedto find that it has a coat
of armor much more complete than ev-
er warrior wore, and composed of strong
polished plates fitted over each other,
each plate covered like a. tortoise shell,
and where they meet hundreds of strong
quilts project, like those on the back of
the porcupine and hedgehog. There is
the arched neck, the bright eye, the
transparent cases, the piercers to pune
ture the skin, sucker to draw away
the blood, six long-jointed legs, all
ready at any moment to be thrown out
with tremendous force. for that Jump
which bothers one when they want to
catch him, and at the end of each leg
hooked claws to enable him to cling to
whatever he lights upon. A flea can
Jump 100 times its own length, which is
the same as if man jumped 600 feet,
and he can draw load of 200 times his
own weight. Ia. 80
