MARKETs.-Fine whather the past few
days has had its effect on trade by allowing
the wheat to be threshed and marketed
The receipts of grain are daily increasing
and the merchants report business very
satisfactory. Sales are fully up to expec
tatiens and collections better than for many
years past. During the past week thu
prices of wheat have not fluctuated
On Friday the market ruled three cent
higher on all grades, reaching $1.33 fo
No. /, and $1.30 for No. 9, nearly but no
quite up to the point reached buring TIT
week previous. The strife continues
among buyers with a prospect of its being
kept up for some time time to come.
Itmay not be cheering information fo
the timid, but it is asserted by many scicn
fists that the present unusual atmosphere
cal disturbances will continue for some
time to come, and although we have had /
stormy season yet it will be even stormiel
before things in this line assume thei
usual jog. Now we don't wish to disbe-
lieve these learned gentlemen, but unit
some of them are able to accurately guagt
the elements for week, yes or a day, WI
can't swallow any of their predictions con
corning the possibilities of month hence
what We want is accuracy not guess work
and if we can't have the former will take
the chances on doing our own prognosti-
eating.
AS the average man salutcd his fellow
mortals yesterday, his very look and tone
indicated that degree of disgust, will
every thing earthly, which is unspeakable
Cold, raw and piercing was the wind, anc
the chap encased in fur overcoat wal
the only one who could muster up courage
to attempt smile, but his most vigorous
effort was dismal failure, the blue lips
prebocis draped in the fashionable cardi
nal with watery trimmings, pink tintcl
ears and whitened cheek, all com bined tc
give the lie to the enforced and assumed
aspect of cheerfulness. The frigid ozone
was forcible reminder OF what is coming
and few more such days would assure
the visit of second October blizzard
SPILL.-A young couple, the gentleman
being salesman in an uptown establish
ment, were spilled out of a buggy Sunday
evening as they were driving through
town, by the breaking of a front axle
caused by hot box. Neither of the par
ties were injured, but the lady S escape was
somewhat singular, MS she was thrown tc
the ground, her companion and escort be-
ing thrown across her. The ground was
soft however in that vicinity, and this may
account for it. The coroncr's jury after
sitting on the wreck, returned verdict tC
the effect that there must have been {;
double load ON one side of the buggy OF
else the wheel would not have run dry SC
quick and burnt or twisted off the axle.
FESTIVE NAGs.-Monday's monotony
speaking from a news cleaners stand point
was cheerfuly relieved by a short live'l ex
citement furnished by couple of spirited
teams. The teams had just unloaded a,
the lower elevator when a putting engine
furnished them pretext for u promenade,
and they promenaded, at least one of them
did, the other only got fair start when q
plucky grangeress put an end to its pro
posed meanderings by tenaciously hanging
to one line which she had succeeded il
grasping. The other team however KEPT
on and after Circling through the lower
part of town WAS headed off by q gritty
stranger who grasped the bits and although
thrown off his feet and dragged shor
distance, he never lost either grip or cour
age but hung on until he had stopped the
the frightened brutes. No damages.
During the present season while building
operations have been unusually active
nine.tenths of the improvement has beer
in residence property. This condition OF
things is very satisfactory and can be east
ly accounted for. 1t is satisfactory, be
cause the building of many elegant, cosy
and attractive residences is an unmistake
able sign of the prosperity of our people
and is also evidence of permanent
growth. 1t can be readily accounted for
as many contemplated Improvements il
business property have been reluctantly
laid over for another season. Severa
business blocks would have been erected
during the past year had it been possible te
have obtained brick for the structures, the
intention of those preparing to build being
not only to provide more suitable ant
commodious places of business, but also
w now ehS ouioAh6o VI q hiOlO oul dDlS
and substantial construction. Another
season gives promise of renewed activity
in building operations, and with the Close
of another year we fully expet to see 9
compete revolution in this line.
r. r. RAYs.-From authentic sources we
learn that the surveyors on the St. p, Nj
& M. extension will not do more than make
preliminary surveys this fall, Of the line
east of point thirty miles from Morris
1t was the intention to have had the line
completed and cars running this winter
but the scarcity of help and unfavorabls
weather combined, have greatly retarded
the work, and Us a consequence it will b.
barely possible to more than complete tn,
grading by the time winter closes in
There is still much conjecture as to wher,
this road will ultimately find al outlet, bu
it seems to be considered as a settled fac
in well informed circles, that the objective
point is Rush City, although parties in tina
