CORN AND OATS OFF
Wheat Remained Steady All Day With a
Scarcity on the Market

Wheat on the local market opened firm
yesterday and remained steady al So
cents for soft and 70 cents for hard
throughout the day. There was not
very much on the market, but what
came in was purchased quickly. The
buyers did noc seem to be anxious 10
outbid each other and the one that first
got hold Of a load was reasonably sure
TO get for his house. Corn and oats were
both off yesterday. Offerings were
scarce and the demand was weak. Corn
sold for % GEMS a bushel, which was
off a cent from the preceding days
prices. Oats were very weak and there
seemed 10 be no demand for them. AS
a consequence they took a tumble OF
cents and sold for less money than on
any day OF this week. Seventeen cents
was the best price offered, and the buy
ers did not seem TO be anxious to buy
al that price. There is a feeling that
oats viii go down 10 about Is cents and
hover there for some time.

COMPLEMENTARY TO GEN. LEE.

1t has formally been decided that
Consul General Lee is to return TO IIa-

ed it and General Lee has agreed to it.
This Is good" observes the Paterson
Call. OF New Jersey, which adds: J
General Lee Is the right man for
the place, eve though he be n
Democrat. II would be bad policy To
swap horses while crossing this
stream"
Why don't the Call stop this kind Of
talk? Cant It he made to believe that
a Democratic official Is as good as any
other officials, and Is not General Lee an
eXemplar of the fact? If it really wants
to speak well of the General why does
IL no do so without these thrusts, of
which 1t is so fond, and so many G.
