Distressing TO the Judges.

The venerable judges Of the supreme
court have two reasons for being mentally
disturbed. 4 bill has been introduced to
cut Off the salaries of all Federal judges
who are eligible for retirement on full pay
Chat i such as have reached 20 and have
served ten years. who fail co resign within
one year after such eligibility accrues.
The other source OF distress is that Con
troller Durham will refuse TO allow the
usual expenses OF the supreme court of
New Years day. He considers the custom
of paying for the carriage hire and gloves
of the justices more honored in the breach
than tho observance.

ls Gl dearer. Sales English wheat during
the week were G4,42l quarters at 29S Od,
against 81 l70 quarters at 3ls 4d for the
corresponding week OF last year. There
have been continued heavy deliveries Of
flour. Prices are not materially altered,
The foreign wheat trade Is gradually har.

yet English wheat continues to underseli
foreign equivalents 5s to 105 per quarter,
Some sorts Of imported wheat are ridicu.

The difference 10 partly attributed 10 the
alteration In late years In London milling
machinery.
Four Csrgoes OF wheat arrived, two were
sold, three were withdrawn and one, Gall.

active and prices are against buyers. The
market to-day was slow for English wheats |;
0dals more was demanded. Flour was Cd
