OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHICAGO, May 8, 1886.
Not much business was transacted on
Change and values tended downward.
The demand for Wheat was light and
prices unsettled. The labor troubles
and the uneasiness about effects of de-
mand for the eight hour system made
everybody fight shy of any large deals.
The news from New York was not en-
couraging. Germ was a trife weaker,
but considerable changed hands, al
though the demand for shipping was
small. Other grains were comparative
ly little in demand. Provisions ruled
weaker and sympathized with the price
of live hogs. Cattle and sheep tend up
ward, but hogs are lower. Jobbers re-
port trade dull, country merchants will
not buy more than they actually need,
they feel that there is danger of lack
of transportation, and in fact consul
mers are reducing their purchases, ow-
ing to the depressed condition of bust
ness. Freights by rail are only moder-
ate in demand, and the same may be
said of river freights. Business gcner-
ally dull and considerable anxiety is
manifested.

She was working on drag with her

DEATH OF REV. HENRY DoCKHAM. =
Rev. Henry Dockham, formerly of this
city, died suddenly at his home in
Prescott, Pierce County, Saturday, April
"a. He leaves widow, son and a
daughter; married daughter died
about two years ago. Mr.. Dockham
was native of Jefferson County, New
York, and was about 60 years of age.
He was an itinerant Methodist minister
for thirty years, residing greater part
of the time in Canada. laboring as pas
tor and successfully filling the difficult
position of Presiding Elder. On ac-
count of ill health he removed to the
United States and joined the Wisconsin
Conference. In 1882 he was stationed
at Lancaster, and was pastor of the NJ
4. Church in this city for two years,
during which time he made many
friends and as Christian minister ac-
quilted himself with ability and honor.
He was an ardent friend of temperance
and an earnest worker in the cause, and
did much in his sphere to help suffering
humanity. In 1884 he was sent to River
Falls, Pierce County, and in the fall of
1885 removed his home to Prescott,
which he has now changed for man.

A USEFUL INvENTIoN-M Z. j.
Benedict has favored us with copy of
the Dell Rapids Times, in which paper
his firm is liberal advertiser. A short
time ago we made mention in the HER.
AID of the fact that Mr.. Benedict was
the inventor of sscloth winder and
measurer." 1t is now more than prob
able that the invention will come into
general use and Mr.. Benedict will de-
The Times, speaking of the matter says:
"When in Chicago, he signed con-
tract with large manufacturing es-
tabliShmcnt for The manufacturing of
the machines for period of II years,
they having enough confidence in the
winder and measurer to put in all extra
machinery required for manufacturing
them in quantities at their own expense.
Mr.. Nj. F. Hunt, of Chicago. has been
appointed general agent, and with his
thirty-five men on the road will work
the jobbing as well as the retail trade.
E. j. will spend all the time that he
can spare from the store on the road.
The machine in question is for the pur-
pose of measuring and winding dry
goods in either flat or round bolts, and
one man with it will do the work of six
in the old way. Machines for this pur-
pose are not in general use, for the
reason that those placed on the market
have either been nearly worthless. not
doing what was claimed for them, or
so very expensive that general mer-
chants could not afford to buy them.
Mr.. Benedict's invention has been ex-
amined by many experienced mer-
chants and all are satisfied that it is
equal to what is claimed for it. The
new machine will sell for about S12,
the price being so low that no merchant
handling even a small line of dry goods
can afford to do without one; they are
within the reach of all, and one of them
would prove to be worth the price asked
when taking an inventory. Mr.. Bene-
dict has proved himself to be quite an
inventor, and having labored indefati-
gably to bring his winder to state of
perfection.
