It is supposed that at least some OF the men
who advocate the expulsion Of the clerks do so
because they Want to control the vote Of the
Board by purchasing tickets for their clerks and
debating the way they shall vote. The idea ap-
pears to be absurd. The right of member to be
represented By sis clerk is a point that ought
to be considered before the question is decided.
Grain receivers are not now allowed to take
grain from the tracks OF the I. c., and some OF
them claim that the inspection is too rigid
under the circumstances, Grain "near the
l1ue,'' and plsced by the Inspector In the lower
grades, is generally sold BY sample, and much
more realized than if sold from store. a case
was reported Saturday Of q lot Of 10 cars which
were inspected to rate as high mixed, but was
all passed into store Us new high mixed.
The stocks Of wheat along the St. Paul lines
in Minnesota are variously reported as aggre-
eating only 100, ,e00W700, 900 bu where they
usually amount at this season to two and a half
or three million bu; and the wheat is mostly
held By nllers at that. This news forms some
offset to the heaviness caused by big stocks
hero and in Milwaukee.
The leading produce markets we're quiet Sat-
urday, and the general feeling was steadier, the
changes IN price being much smaller than the
recent average. Grain was rather weak early,
and pork products opened out stronger, but
both returned to near the latest prices Of Fri
day. The shipping movement was rather slow.
Domestic anu foreign drT goods were in light
request at about steady prices. Groceries were
quoted fairly active, and the market Was firm
for most lines. Dried fruits continue in good
request, aud both foreign and domestic varie-
ties we're held with confidence. Canned goods
continue in good demand from the city and
country trade, and remain firm. Fish were
quoted firm under an increasing demand. The
Dutter and cheese markets were fairly active
and firm. Nothing new was noted in the mar
ket for oils, leather, tobacco, baggiug, anl
coal
The lumber market was steady, with fair
sales. The log supply the coming season, if
reports may relied upon, will be heavy, and in
some localities the stock will probably exceed
that Of any former year. The demand for wool
and broom-corn shows some improvement, and
prices, though no higher, arc steady, especially
for the best grades. Seeds were firm, with fair
sales, choice timothy and clover being stronger.
The sales Of hay were again light, and prices
EASY in anticipation Of larger receipts. Green
fruits sold freely to the city trade at the quota
lions.
