GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


Chicago, Nov. 6.-The speculative
market today gave no indication OF
having improved by yesterdays hoh-
day. Wheat was as dull as before
corn no better as regards the volume
Of trading In 1t. and provisions had not
much interest for the majority of brok-
ers. Wheat closed at n slight declinc'
corn virtually Unchanged oats very
dull, and provisions a little higher
The receipts Of wheat for the day at
all the primary western markets to-
gcther a year ago amounted to Lib
900 bushels. whereas at the two big
northwestern receiving places alone the
receipts today We're l,Sl2000 bushels.
1t is hard to keep the bull feeling
alive when such killing comparisons
can be mnde on top of Bradstreets re-
port OF changes In the worlds visible.
Corn was strengthened by the bad
weat her. but prices varied but little.
oats were duh and found but few
parties who showed the market any
attention.
Provisions ruled firm, partly on ac-
count OF an advance In hogs. but due
TO some extent also to the steady feel
ing in the corn market. The closing
prices were nearly the highest of the
day, and showed a gain of 10 cents in
pork; s cents In January lard, and from
21-2 cents in January ribs to l-2 cents
In May ribs.

pride to such rapid stride to populari-

(From the Porterville Rnterprise.)
The time has at last come when the
position Porterville has 80 long been
laying siege to has been gained, and
those holding ii capitulated in her
favor, leaving her on the top step Of the
ladder, crowned with the we'll known
fact that Porterville is first and foremost
in the orange industry--no one can
gsinsay this, for the proof of the pud-
ding Is in the eating thereof.
Ever since the middle of November
last, oranges in carload lots have been
continually rolling toward San Francis
co and eastern states, and owing to their
being the fret on this seasons market,
have commanded the highest prices.
All the other we'll known and we'll ad-
vertised oltrue districts are yet awaiting
the turning OF their oranges from their
verdant color to the beautiful golden
hue, which always seems to say. "Pick
me, as l am ripe and ready for the mar
ket'-and are also watching with
anxious eyes the weather siena.
About this time of the year old Jack
Frost generally goes mis- rounds, and is
always al unwelcome visitor to theee
districts. As yet he has seldom boths

mild form. leaving no trace of injury
behind him. That is why we say Por-
terville orange growing is sure thing.
There ia nothing to interfere with this
industry--fine soil, plenty OF water. a
temperature which cannot be beaten,
scale unknown, are all here and the re-
suit is more than the most sanguins
ever expected. From now on Porter
vile has established herself az the first
on the list for early oranges, and the
people looking for good investments
have not been slow in finding this out.
Tourists and those in search of homes
are coming in every day and looking
for locations to plant the fruit. which

are becoming the pass word every

people are buying these high and fancy
priced lands in other cities. when for a
quarter the amount of money they can
come to Portervilie, buy land cheaper
and even better and not only obtain the
same and even bettor results. but get on
the market frat. That is the idea, to
be irst in the market, and naturally you
get the highest prices.
The medals we have been taking for
the last two or three years. and which
have been awarded us by competent
judges in com petition with the northern
and southern districts at the midwinter
fair at San Francisco this year and other
competitive exhibits for oranges and
lemons. ell prove that what we state 10
correct.
The future OF Potsrville is an assured
fact. Her orange and lemon groves
from now on will form. we might say,
the main industry around here, and her
name if not already 90, will be estab-
lished all over the states, and Porter.

To measure book written in this
way by serious standard would acarce-
ly be reasonable. That it is often mac
curate in details, and frequently gives
US conjecture for certainty, need not be
stated. Accuracy in such book can be
secured only by an amount OF serious
study, and extended knowledge of the
errors of older observers with their inn
perfect instruments, which would bs
very irksome in writer OF M. FlammR-
rion's characteristics. Still. IL is only
due to him to say that. under the boun-

serves us, there ia found more good

duotions OF the latter, this generation
cares nothing for serious knowledge,
and will study the results of SOL
EXTREMIST form of modern sensational
journalism. Such being the case, no
form of astronomy could suit them better
than Nj. Flammarion's book. II less
serious than Mr.. Proctor's Old and New
Astronomy, it is much more amusing.
Mr.. Gore has done the work into
smooth and very readable English. and
ii he does not always give the exact
sense of the original, no harm is done
except when he makes such slip as to
spoil the point of an anecdote by render
ing visitor" by visit" Nor can we
sllege against our author the supposed
failure OF his countrymen to know any,
thing about what is done outside OF
France. An interest in end apprecia-
ton of things American is shown in
