GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


Chicago. Dec. 1.-THE speculative
markets were all rather dul today,
and except In provisions prices closed
a trlile lower.
The news concerning wheat was In
the main bulllsh. The demand here
for cash wheat was good both for rall
shipments to winter wheat points and
for spring wheat TO 20 10 store.
The pressure to sell wheat short was
not quite so pronounced as 1t was yes
terday afternoon.
Minneapolis and Duluth got 269 car
loads less wheat than on the cores
ponding day OF the week before. the
lake shipments appeared TO be over
for the season. The demand for wheat
at MINNEAPOLIS both by millers and
shippers was said to be surprisingly
good and San Francisco wired tnat
owing to the competition between mill
ora and shippers there the price was
advanced &c per Genital Three car
goes said n dispatch from there were
taken for Australia and one for Cape
Town, The dispatch was one or the
reasons for the advance mere OF Lac

There was fairly active market Tor

brought about when sellers offered Az

Bacon of This City Elected as Agent.
Hartford, July 31.-At the meeting Of
the State Board Of Charities iii room 80
of the capitol, the following officers
We're elected: DR.. A. w. Tracy of Meri-
den, president (re-elected) and Miss
Mary Hall of Hartford secretary.
The retiring secretary, Mr.. H. G.
Whittlesey, was reelected secretary,
but he declined to accept it, on account
of pressure of private business. Miss
Hall was elected secretary In place Of
Mr.. Whittlesey. Miss Hall asked for
some time to consider the question of
accepting the Office. The board granted
Miss Halls request, with the hope that
she would see her way to accepting it.
Miss Rebekah G. Bacon of New Haven
was elected an agent to visit family
homes in which dependent and neg
lected children are placed. This ap-
pointment is made under section Of the
law passed by the last Legislature, which
reads: "The State Board of Charities

eral counties may be placed, to recon-
mend suitable family homes to the coun-
ty boards, and perform such further
duties in connection with the dependent
and neglected children in charge of
such temporary homes as said State
Board of Charities may prescribe, but
it shall not pay any agent appointed
by it more than three dollars per day
for time actually employed, and the
total compensation of its secretary and
any such agents shall not exceed two
