OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHICAGO. November 10. 1886.
East bound shipments of breadstuff
and provisions increased SIT tons last
week. making 1856 tons, including
1915 tons of provisions and IA, $50 tons
of grain. The receipts of wheat to-day
were 0.205 bushels. To show the uni.
yersal variation of opinions we will give
both sides of prominent commission
houses. The first says: 'We are of the
opinion that in case the next visible
supply statement shows any increase at
all, it will be the last for the season.
We see nothing in the situation to war
rant decline in prices. and on the con-
trary consider wheat in position for
big advance. The second says: I'VE
can see nothing to warrant an advance,
but on the contrary from a standpoint
of supply and demand should expect
decline. Another house says: '.The adj
vance is purely speculative and we
doubt if it can be maintained After
this week it is generally believed that
the visible supply will lessen. Trading
to-day in wheat was tolerably active
but speculative prices remain about the
same.
Corn develops increased activity and
strength. due to light receipts, small
stock and good demand from ship
pers. Oats are active and firm. Rye
and barley is quiet but steady.
With light receipts and fair demand
the price of cattle rules in some in
stances 20 to 25 cents higher on ordin-
airy run of fat cattle. Buyers for feeding
| in distilleries have at last discovered
that feeding steers are cheap, and it
will not be long before the countrymen
viii find that they have let the time pass
when they should have bought their
lean stock. There is general advance
OF big cents in hogs. 1t is the mod
crate run that caused the advance, as
there are no additional buyers either in
the shipping or packing side. The
sheep market is quiet and prices in
clined to be weak.

Mr.. KICKS referred to large bridge
in the town of Marion, in which the
people of the town were even less inter-
ested than the people of Ellenboro in
the Platte bridge. Not two families in
the town used it, but the town and not
the county kept it up.
Mr.. MCPHERSON said Ellenboro was
not particularly interested in the bridge
and was not pushing for it.
Mr.. HER referred to the statutes
which require any town receiving aid
from the county for bridges to raise and
expend proportionate amount. If
Ellenboro wants this bridge. let her
raise something for it.
Mr.. ROBBINS didn't understand that
Ellenboro asked for the bridge. Lam
caster and Platteyille are more inter-
ested.
Mr.. hartley suggested that Lancas-
ter and Plattsville build the bridge.
Mr.. KICKS said when Bescobel want
ed bridge over the Wisconsin she paid
for it.
Mr.. MACARTHUR didn't understand
why Platteville was dragged into the
discussion. She didn't ask aid. She
builds her own bridges. II is important
that this bridge be built and Ellenboro
is too poor to build ii. 1t has not great
amount of city property, like Boscobel,
to build an expensive iron bridge.
The Chair suggested that sub-com-
mittee of the committee on Roads and
Bridges go down there and look over
all the circumstances and report wheth-
er the county ought to build the bridge
partly or entirely; then the board would
have something to go upon.
Mr.. WATSON moved that the matter
be referred to the committee on Roads
and Bridges.
MIR. CoMsTocK asked if the $4,000
annually appropriated for bridges was
not intended for such cases as this.
The Chair said the appropriation was
not specially for county roads.
Mr.. KIDD said the $4,000 had not
yet been appropriated by this board.
and the appropriation is matter OF
discretion, not of necessity.
Mr.. WHITCHER said the same point
was involved IN the appropriation last
year for the Eagle Point road. besides
Jamestown's share of the $1,000. This
was case of at least equal merit with
that.
Mr.. ROBBINS said that for lack oil
passable road between the two cities
Patteville is now fifty miles from Ian.
caster by the usually travelled route
and intimated that the Plattevile mem
bers would draw mileage for fifty miles
! Mr.. WATSON: This $500 appropri.
alton can all be put in one place or in
many places. 1t is not yet voted. The
board can vote $4,000 or $4,000. He
didn't say that the county ought not t.
build the bridge, but he disputed the
liability of the county for damages by
reason of not building. He knew from
the law that each town alone is respons
ible for damages on its own roads. He
moved to refer the matter to the proper
committee for investigation.
There was some informal dispute
among the members as to the amount
which the board could appropriate fol
bridges. After some further debate il
was voted to refer the matter to th,
committee on Roads and Bridges.
Mr.. MACARTHUR moved to adjourn t.
8 A. M. the next day.
MR.. KICKS moved to substitute $50
but the amendment was lost and tn,
board adjourned to 8 A. NJ. Wednesday

The beautiful gift He gavel

With the dew of the morning upon yo,

And your blossom all unknown?

For the voice we shall not hear,
For the lisping tones so sweet
And the baby's kiss so dear.
How shall we know his voice,
Or he greeting OF his eyes,
Md the countless cherubs that rejoice
In the gardens Of Paradisee
How shall we know our own,
Where the air is white with wings
Our babe so soon from our bosom flown
To the angels ministering2
oh babel our hearts are sore
For the love that was to be,
But thank our God for the bliss OF the
dead,
For the joy of the soul set free!
It's weary world at best,
This world he will MT know
Would we waken him out Of such per

For its sorrows and strifes? Alb, no.
Esceped are its thorns and harmsl
The only path he hath trod
Is that which leads from mothers arms
Into the arms Of God.

ALL ABOUT A HORSE. The Bloom
ington villagers were considerably in
terested on Wednesday of last week, in
a replevin suit. Several weeks ago Mr..
August Plondke, living in the western
part of the town of Bloomington, had a
horse stolen. The thief. or some pur-
chaser from him, sold the horse to
Wash. Garner, of Beetowu. Mr. Gar
ner traded it to Mr.. John Hale, of
Bloomington. Mr. Plondke discovered
his horse and demanded it. The de-
mand not being complied with he sued
out writ of replevin, with which he
recovered his horse in the fullness Of
time.
