The Proposed County Asylum Addition.

A letter from FL, III. Giles, of the state
board of charities and reform, to the
Hon. Geo. w Ryland, chairman of our
county board, gives some interesting
points regarding the proposed addition
10 the Grant county asylum. The pro-
posed addition will increase the capac-
ity of the asylum about twenty patients
and the money received for the care of
the additional patients will pay all the
expense of its construction in less than
three years. If the objection to build
ing the addition is raised that it will
not be kept full, Sec. of Chap. 233 of
the session laws of 1881 provides that
''the state board cannot authorize the
construction of new asylums so long as
provision is made for the care and sup
port of the insane in the state hospitals
and county asylums already existing"
The objection that the multiplication of
county asylums will in few years de-
plete the one in Grant county of the in
sane from other counties, if insisted up
on, is met by the increase in the num-
Der in our own county, which will in a
few years crowd out all or nearly all
from other counties. There are at
present between so and 100 insane be-
longing to Grant county; hence, our
people may dismiss all fears that their
institution if enlarged will not be kept
full.
The laundry work ought not to be
done in the basement of the asylum;
the dining rooms are too contracted for
the capacity of the asylum, and the
kitchen is entirely too small. The pro-
posed addition is wanted to furnish ade-
quate laundry and kitchen facilities, as
well as dining room. 1t will simply
complete our asylum and render it
quite equal to the best in the state, as
well as much the cheapest one. Grant
county will receive from the state for
the care Of the insane for the year end
ing Oct. 1. 1885, the sum of $4,352.25.
At comparatively small cost we can
complete our asylum and care fer twen-
ty more, and from other counties will
receive for their care IS, 120 additional
per year The contemplated addition.
for which plans are being prepared, will
be S6x60, little larger than suggested
by MIR. Giles, and capable of accommo-
dating thirty additional patients.

COM MERCIAL.
OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
cnIcAso. November .. 1885.

CHICAGO. November 3, 1885.
East bound shipments increased
1880 tons over the previous week and
aggregated 26.709 tons. The season of
lake navigation will soon be over for
1885. The vessel owners have expert
ence a hard season for freight. Exports
OF wseat and wheat in flour from all
American ports from Sept, 1st to Oct.
24th were lo.599,ooo bushels against
22,656.o bushels for same time last
year; corn 100000 bushels against
S,OoO,6lO bushels last year.
The wheat movement northwest, how
ever. is certainly decreasing a little
with indications of falling off very con-
siderably before long. The market to-
day was fairly active ON speculative ac-
count, and prices were irregular.
Corn market is stronger and prices
average higher. The short period that
shippers have to ship by water induces
them to take hold more freely and abb
sorb all the offerings. Light receipts
are predicted for the near future.
Oats are quiet but firm. Rye and
barley are steady and firm.
The number of cattle fed for the win
ter and spring market will exceed any
other year. Native stock scarce and
prices higher with good demand.
Prices % to 80 cents higher than week
ago. All classes of cattle are Is to rs
cents higher than last week at this per-
iod, with light receipts. Saturday was
the ending of the summer packing sea-
son, and the number of hogs packed in
Chicago since the first of March is H.
612 in excess of the number packed fol-
the corresponding period a year ago.
AS the trade is active, and prices are s
to 10 cents higher on all classes, the
market closed steady at the advance.
Sheep shade higher with the arrivals
not equal to the demand.
