GRAIN.
Weakness was the characteristic in all markets
to-day. Reports OF sharp decline East ratified
even the bulhsh-talking dealers on this market,
and bidding was tame, and little disposition
shown to trade. The Board of Trade Price Cur
rent says of wheat: Local markets are weak and
sluggish, In active sympathy with decline at sea-
board. Choice grades of No. . red VIII readily
bring full quotations from local dealers. Visible
supply shows an increase of nearly 3o0,O 900 bush
els. Eastern points all lower, and have declined
sharply since opening. Chicago, like the East,
inelines to weakness and lower prices. We quote:

The bill to abolish the office of sealer
of weights and measures has finally
passed the Legislature and gone to the
governor, whose approval it will unques
tionably receive, as one of the issues
upon which he was elected was opposi-
tion to all useless and oppressive offices,
Of which this sealer has proved itself to
be one of the most notable wherever it
has been exercised There is little occa.
sion for it, complaints of false weights
and measures being very uncommon.
When preferred they can be provided
for by the new law now on its passage,
making the use of short weights and
measures misdemeanor and as most
Of the counties have provided them
selves with standards, which can be taken
charge of by the commissioners and put
into the custody of their clerk, there is a
ready and accessible standard by which
MI such complaints can be adjudged.
Now that the Office is to be abolished and
the representatives of the people have
declared against the necessity for il,
there is nothing in the way Of Governor
Rattison's prompt removal of ali the ap-
pointees who are exercising it, before
they have any further chanceto levy toll
upon the mercantile community.

THE MINSTRELS,
An Excellent show Last Night.

An Excellent Show Last Night.
No better minstrel entertainment has
been given here for years than that of
Barlow, Wilson 6 Co., at the opera
house last evening The audience was Of
good size, but not as large as might have
been expected. The first part showed
thirty-two people, including eight end
men and nine vocalists. They were ar
ranged in tiers and it was pretty scene.
The music was of the best and the sing
ing excellent. Messrs. Barlow, Will
son, Wagner and Schoolcra.t kept the
audience roaring with new jokes aud
good songs. The part closed with tie
finale entitled Fun by Telephone. In
part second Milt. Barlow was the first to
be seen, and he gave his familiar and very
popular impersonations of the aged negro
A very genteel song and dance by four
neatly dressed young gentleman, who
could sing as we'll as dance, followed.
The "Four Aces" quartette of real
fine acrobatic artists, astonished the audi
ence by their twisting, turning and high
kicking. Wood and West followed on
skates, giving their great speciality.
George Wilson entertained his admirers
in his usual very funny style and the
sketch of Schooleraft and Goes was
clever. The clog introduced eight persons
who gave exhibitions Of all kinds OF
dancing. Barney Pagan, one Of the best
in his line, led the team and did some
fancy dancing alone. Wood and West ap-
peared in clog on skates, which showed
great skill. The costumes of all were
handsome. The Clipper quartet, who
have few equals gave their new act en-.
titled "Going to the Picnic" They
sung we'll together and we're called
back several times. Eddie Fox, the
orchestra leader, who can almost make
violin speak, was amusing in bis imi-
tations. "The Colored Mascotte," Il mu
sical burlesque, closed the very brilliant
entertainment and the singing was fully
as good, if not better than that of the
company which played the original piece
a few nights ago. A feature was the
singing of the "Gobble Duet" by Gale
and Goes. The curtain ran down on a
highly delighted audience and Barlow 6;
Wilson's party added greatly to their
established reputation of having strong
people.
