FLOUE. GRAM AND WEED.

WHEELING, TUESDAY, July :.
Generally at this time of the year inqui-
ries as TO the price of new wheat are nu-
merous, but owing to the lateness of the
harvest this season, due to the heavy rains.
there has been little or no inquiry as vet.
and no estimate of an opening price can be
formed ut this time The condition Of the
crop is reported good, and while the heads
are not quite so large, they are better filled
out by the grain. The crop, as whole
promises to be very good one There are
no changes in prices at all this week, and
the market continues dull. The following
quotations are wholesale, retail prices
being 80 10 - cents higher:
FLOUR-Choice family -four in WOOD
81 50; in paper - IS per barrel.
GRAIN-Wheat per bushel, No. Sc

dierS who know the field speak Of Wat

not clear to me as to what an idcOl bat

each side has about an equal thing of it,,
then Waterloo answers well. When you

Yesterday was rather unsatisfactory, es-
pecialy to the lighter bulls, to-day's was
more TO their taste in point of strength, but
its narrowness was even greater. The
agreement in conference upon silver bill
supplied the stimulus for time, but the
effect was over before the end OF
the first half hour of business.
The coalers and grangers received
most attention and Lackawanna, Jersey
Central and St Paul showed most strength
and were followed by Oregon Transconti-

movement among the specialties of note.

The Plan to Encourage Thrift Adopted
by Savings Bank in Detroit
From the Springfield Union.
The Detroit Savings Bank has adopted a
plan which is novel in this country, but is
in use in the postal savings system in Eu-
rope, for gathering little savings and bring
ing the advantages of the bank within easy
reach of everybody. Agencies are selected
In various parts of the city, such as drug
stores, groceries and other reputable places,
where adhesive labels of different denomi-
nations and cnlorS, resembling postage
stamps, will be sold
Cards corresponding in color with the
labels will be furnished, upon which the
depositor will affix the labels as they arc
purchased until the twenty spaces on the
cards are filed. For instance, suppose that
depositor determines to save cents per
week lie is furnished with a card CORE
spending in color with the 5-cent labels.
He purchased the label weekly at the
nearest agency, and affixes it to the card
When the card is full it is worth ST. and is
then sent to a savings bank for deposit,
when the amount is entered upon the usual
deposit book. Labels will be for various
convenient denominations, making the
cards when filed even amounts, as 81, 81,
SO, and so on.
IL Is eApecteu Ina6 tne agents Will 90 Cne
work as labor of love and public benefit,
though small commissions may be paid.
This system brings the savings bank to the
people who need 1t most. We have scent
savings banks now, but comparatively few
people will take the trouble to go to the
bank to deposit a few cents. It will be a
very easy matter, however, to go to the
nearest drug store or grocery and purchase
the label, and the method involves no risk,
except that of keeping the deposit card safe
until it is filed

in the search for his brother, re-
ceiyed this morning "A letter from Miss
Eftie Morgan of Rolla, No.. the young lady

married last Wednesday night. In this
letter she informs Mr.. Mabrey that she re-

to be from a man who was Mabrey's, rival

supposed t. have written the three threat

In her letter received this morning Miss
Morgan gives the name of the man who
was Mabrey's rival His present address
she does not know, but it is thought that he
is in st. Louis. The last letter written by
Richard G. Mabrey to his brother Thomas,
