The Corner Stone.

Noon was the hour set for the
adjournment of the board end
the formation of the procession
for the corner stone laying, and all seemed
to be impressed with the fact that it was
great historical event. 1t was but natural
that not only the members of the board,
but citizens generally should take an inter-
est in the occasion, which marked an era
in the commercial progress of the board
and the city. The board of trade started
in very small way, and at first made very
slow progress, but to-day the institution is
one to boast of. Its membership embraces
some of the wealthiest and most influential
men of the city, and its new building will
rival any commercial OK
change in the world. In
1879 the first steps were taken toward the
erection of the structure, but it was not
until July II, 1880, that it was resolved to
proceed with the work. Negotiations were
opened with the representative of the
Tracy estate. He agreed to sell 200 feet
front provided the board would get La
Sale street vacated and erect building
on the lot, 1'lle committee accepted the
terms, and this act was ratified by the
board. But as soon as an effort was made
to close up the street there was trouble,
and to save time Messrs. John K. Bensley,
P. D. Armour and S. E. Kent bought up the
whole block and sold the board 24Ox173
feet. and after much litigation, got the
street closed.

Trade Topics.

The ar nuai report of the chief inspector
of grain at Chicago shows that the receipts
of grain during the year ending Nov. l.,
99,3O0,00O bushels, have been phenomenal
~ light. the lightess since 1877, being more
than 25,O00,O0O bushels less than those of
the previous year. Prominent among the
causes which have combined to produce
this result are: First, the low
p.ices of grain prevalent
since the harvesting of the new crops ow-
ing to the abundant yield in the European
countries which compete with US IN sup
plying the markets Of the world; second, the
unusually hourishing financial condition of
the Western farmers, which enables them
to hold their grain to q much greater ex-
tent than formerly, for remuneratiSe
prices; and, third the rapid increase ID the
milling capacity, and the consequent tend
ency to ship wheat products to the seaboard,
instead of the wheat itself.
Milwaukee broker int rested
himself this morning in collecting the
opinions of leading members of the
chamber of commerce as to the probable
price of No. 9 spring wheat in this market
on May 10, 1888. The prices set by differ
ent members ranged from sac per bushel TO
$3.50. The card containing the names OF
the guessers and their respective gUesses
were sealed in an envelope, which will be
opened on Change on the date named, and
will no doubt cause much amusement.
Two or three years ago, similar collection
of opinions was obtained IN December
and laid away until the following May. On
being opened an average OF diff
ferent predicted prices was struck
and the result was found to
be within quarter of a cent of the actual
price. On another occasion, when the
thing was tried, the difference between the

Cincinnati's Commerce.

CINoINN1rI, Dec. 13.-The forthcoming
annual report of Superintendent Maxwell,
of the chamber of commerce, shows a
marked increase of grain business the past
year. The increase in receipts of all kinds
of grain is 1,7S0,000. The bulk of this
was in wheat. A peculiarly of the wheat
receipts is, that more than half OF the
years receipts came during the last ten
weeks Of the year. Through shipments
Tor thu year have decreased. The i'm
proved facilities for storing grain and in
creased consumption by mills are the
causes of the growth Of local business.

Fatal Fall of u Bridge.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 13.-At a. m.
Tuesday the false work of the bridge across
Great Dry canon, fou, miles west of Pecos
river, on the Sunset road, and three-fourths
of a mile from the end of the Southern
Pacific track, fell in solid mass, preci pi-
tating the hands distance of seventy
five feet on the rocks below.
Seven men were killed outright,
one more has since died, and there is
little hope for the recovery of three others.
The false work had been erected some
time, and the weight of the material
brought upon it for the permanent bridge
is supposed to have been too great to bear
and it gave way over a deep gorge, having
almost perpendicular cliffs. The length of
the bridge is 200 feet. The dead have been
buried in an adjacent cave, and two ply
.icians are caring for the wounded. The
disaster will delay the completion of the
bridge perhaps sixty days.

COniugal Trouble.

In the Supreme Court in Brooklyn DIR. f.
NJ. Small has Just recovered the sum of
Sc 200 as damages for the seduction and
alienation of his wife's affections by William
Bulenkamp. The amount sued for was
SIS 1000. DIR. Small was married to his
wife, nee Hiss Kate Winn, in Augusta, in
1873. They lived together until last July,
in New York, when the wife abandoned
him, going off with Bulleukamp. There was
a throng in the courtroom when the case
was called. and DR.. Small, the plaintiff, Mr..
Bulenkamp, the defendant. and the woman
who gas at the bottom of the trouble, sat
side by side at one table: DR.. Small Is
about "a years of age, Of slight stature
and gray beard. His divorced wife W"

HANGED by blue eyes with dark lashes and a
perfect complexion. She is about IS years
old. Her present husband, Mr. Bulien"amp'
is tall and dark, about 80 years of age with
dark brown hair and moustache. After the
ease had been summed up, Judge Cullen
charged the jury that the wife's having lost
her affection for her husband was no excuse
for her. but it might weigh together with
cruel treatment in mitigation of damages
The fact was also to be considered that com
pensation was due man for the reproach o'
having an unfaithful wife. The jury delib
