CIIICAGO.

CHICAGO. ILL. June l9-The wheat
market wound up in a state OF collapse
to-day. The break that eliminated al
most at the stroke Of the bell, marking
the close was hardly expected by even
the most radical bears. 1t is true the
market was not particularly strong at
any time during the session, but the
presence Of nothing but n scalping bust
ness did not prcsage very wide iuctua-
lions. Up till noon there had been east
ness and frmness, alternately. but after
that hour weakness set in, and fractions
were gradually dropped from values until
nearing the close, when quick break
took place. July wheat opened from
l4hc. to 7ic., sold between 74ssc. and
D%c., closing at 7iTsc.. CSC under yes
terday. Cash wheat was ltzd2c. lower.
Corn--Not until late i'm the session was
there much weakness felt in corn. The
light receipts only - cars arriving to-
day-gave shorts some uncasneSs. The
covering purchases supported prices
early. but the intense Weakness Of wheat
later overcame all other influences,
decline taking place. July corn opened
at JO3sc.. sold between JOssc and a9Ikm
4ohc., closing at i9i,c.. 1c. under yester-
gay. cash corn was &c. per bushel
lower.
Oats-The report giving a reduced con-
ditiOn OF oats communicated some steadi-
ness TO that market at the opening. The
strength remained with prices until well
on IN the session, when it gave place to
an easier tone, sympathy with the other
grains influencing trading. July closed
l2c. lower than yesterday. Cash oats
were nc higher, The close being at a
decline Of &c
Provisions-lt was dull in provisions
to-day. The hog market was firm, but
the disposition TO trade in product was
SO slight that there was very little ref
erence made TO the fact. The closing
weakness OF wheat had some effect. July
pork closed INC. lower. July lard 2lkG5c
lower, and July ribs 7i4Gloc. lower

Archbishop Feehan's Reply.

CHICAGO. June 19.-Archbishop Feehan
filed a reply In the Superior Court to-
day 10 the bill OF certain members of st.
Hedwig's Polish Catholic church. accusing
him of misappropriating the funds of the
parish. and Of tyrannicaly appointing
pastors distasteful TO the parish. The
answer denies the allegations OF the
board, and afiirms the right OF Archbishop
Feehan as the Catholic bishop OF Chicago
TO appoint any priest whom he deems
III for the position. II also denies that
the Bishop has any intention of incum-
bering the property further or that any
money intended for the benefit OF the
parish was converted TO the individual
use OF the Bishop.

success of the fair. The ladies deserve
much credit for the elegant chicken
pie supper that was served. Over

the main hall booths were arranged
around the hall. First, in the centre
Of the hall was large booth trimmed
with green and white. Fancy articles
were sold here by Mrs. S. II. Edwards,
Mrs A. j. Currier and Miss Carrie
Clark. On the east side OF the hall
was "Rebecca at the Well" Miss Amy
Wheeler, being assisted by Leon
White who dispensed raspberry shrub
in an artistic manner. This well was
built in the yard of the old fashioned
booth. The booth was an old -fash :
toned affair, table was spread decked
with antiquities heavily ladened with
food, where the ladies were putting
away their winter store of dried apples
and pumpkins for pies. Mrs. Goode-
nough sat knitting stockings for her
grandchild ren, as she said. Mrs. Har-
yey, Mrs. j. p. Goodenough and Mrs.
McQuade dressed IN antique costumes
attended this table. There was a
candy table where home made candy,
which was made by the ladies, was
sold by Mrs. Alvin Coombs. Next IN
order was d pretty Japanese booth
prettily arranged with Japanese drap,
eires and the trimmings OF blue ana
white. Five O'Clock tea vas served by
Mrs. W. c. Willard assisted by Miss
Bertha Williams. On the stage was
built an electric car which was fes-
TONED with popcorn, with orange and
white trimmings. This car was run by
the genius, Bert Sargent, who acted
as motorman, and Geo. Miller was
conductor. The car was run by cleo
tricity back and forth on the stage:
Misses leila Edwards and leila Weld
disposed of pop corn on the inside OF
the car. This car run from Pierce
corner and Vernon via Broad Brook
Hanging from the top of the stage
were the words Protective. Grange
which were sent out one at time in
colored lights with background OF
white which was very effective. On
the west side of the hall was the
"curiosity booth where little packages
were disposed of at the small sum OF
five cents 1t was a sort OF grab bag
and great amount of fun was had
here. Mrs. Maverette Fisher disposed
of these articles. The feature of the
evening was the ''Old Woman in the
Shoe" little Pauline Miller, who sold
dolls. The vegetable booth was in
charge of John W. Gale, who sold
them at auction. g. W. Pierce had
a handsome display from the Retreat
also the other grangers showed good
display. The booths were cleared at
