cars a year ago. Local receipts. III cars,

eral rains throughout the west. The big
gest disappointment the bulls had to
encounter was the extreme weakness at
Liverpool, some futures in that market
showing a rs decline at the opening
here This was attributed to the bright
prospects for the Argentine crop. Sell
ing was general at the opening, stop-loss
orders being prominent. May sold well

much weakness as the nearer future,

927sc. Worlds shipments We're $4,000
bushels. A visible increase of about l.
SOC. 900 bushels is looked for.
CORN-Corn was slow, but steady con-
sidering the weakness of wheat. Receipts,
45S cars, were below estimates and the
wet weather is considered likely to fur
ther curtan the movement. Fifty loads
were reported taken for export. Decem-
ber opened nc lower at 255ac and was

Oldest Encampme-nt Member,

To the Editor of the State Journal
In the journal of yesterday I noticed
an article about the Oldest Odd Fellow
in Kansas. I have not been on earth
long enough to be that Oldest odd Eel
low, but I do believe I am the oldest
encampment member in the state, hav-
ing been exalted to that degree August
1st, 1850, in Mount Vernon Encamp-
ment No. II, at York, Pa. In 1879 1
deposited my card in Jerusalem En-
campment No II, at Junction City,
Kansas, and in 1881, withdrew to orga-
nize Humane Encampment No. "a. at
this place. I was initiated Novem Der
TO- 1849, in Humane Lodge No. 942 at
York Pa, and have been in good
standing in that lodge from that day to
this.
Yours in F. L. & T.
