PILLSBuRYs CHESS VICTORY

It is great achievement and great and well deserved honor to the Brook lyn Chess club, albeit it's young cham pion is not Brooklynite by birth, but Bostonian, and learned the intricacies of the game first in Massachusetts, The peerless game has no more faithful stu dents than in Brooklyn, and the honor that has come to the Brooklyn club through the prowess of its young cham pion can hardly fail to increase the in- terest of the game in this city.

chicago, Ill, Dec. AT the closing of
the week the grain markets display con-
siderable more activity and prices appear
to be on more substantial basis, with
an apparent advancing tendency, than
FOR long time. For the past few months
n potent factor in establishing prices has
been the large receipts in the spring
wheat regions, also liberal shipments
from the Baltic and sundry ports the in
creased stringency in the money markets.
and the very low price of coarse grains
These things have caused a continuous
downward tendency, barring occasionally
slight speculative reaction. Statistics
are somewhat bulllsh. Milers are all
crowded with orders, according to re-
ports, enough TO keep them going for from
thirty to ninety days and shipments of
wheat from Duluth, Minneapolis Chicago
and other primary points to interior mil
lers, have never been so large. The de-
crease in Europe would indicate the same
condition abroad. Just what effect this
condition VIII have on the speculative fu-
ture remains to be seen. During the week
corn and oats have sold lower in this
market than for many years There is
unquestionably a disposition among cap
italists to crib the cereals now In the
country and hold them as an Investment.
While the large receipts of hogs continue
to depress the provision market, we
note also that there is a corresponding
increase in the speculative and consump-
tive demand for hog products, lard es-
pecially, and Il seems to us that these
almost unprecedented low prices cannot
prevail long.
