GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Chicago.

Chicago. Sept Wheat is getting
close to the dollar mark again. Deceh-
ber closed today at 96 1-Sc. an advance
Of % 1.oc since Saturday. Strong cables
and n heavy export business started the
market strong and kept it in that con
dition, Corn scored 1c advance put
later was SLOW under enormous feceipts
and denials of damage reports. 'lats
shared in the prosperity to the extent
Of a ..3-Sc advance. Provisions We're AZ
fecte.l somewhat by the yellow fever
scare. but at the close showed only a
Toe decline in pork and , lie ID ribs,
while lard advanced DC.
The liverpool wheat market had adj
yancel before trading commenced mere
the equivalent of 1-Se per bushel over
the price it closed at on Saturday last,
PC Of that rise having occurred yester-
day. Paris was also quoted Sc per
hnshel higher since Saturday. In sym-
pathy with the strength abroad, an al
vance of about &c inaugurated the day
business here. December started at

The trade statistics of last week s
movement of wheat in the direction OF
consuming countries We're somewhat or
n drag to the market. The weeks
shipments of wheat and -four from all
sources to the importing countries OF
E,lrope were 9,S12.OO0 bushels against
7.454,OOO bushels the week before and
$4,000 bushels the corresponding
week of 1896. The quantity of ocean
passage was thereby Increased 2.Wn0OO
bushels. Receipts of wheat at Chicago
since Saturday morning were 1OSS cars,
but out of that great number 30 cars
only come up to the contract standard.
The quantity shipped from here since
Saturday morning was disproportionate-
ly small compared to receipts of 145,OOO
bushels comprising the total. Minneap-
oils and Duluth reported 1880 carloads
received compared with 1852 cars for
the corresponding days of the previous
wear. Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and -four since Saturday were equal to
/ .155, 600 bushels. The visible supply
decreased 656, 900 bushels. and the total
is now down to 14,S17,O00 bushels. A
wear ago the corresponding week showed
a21 600 bushels increase and the total
was 47,415,000 bushels. Closing cables

Fitzsimmons' pet bear escaped the

dog Yarrum started in pursuit. When

A Berlin dispatch says that hereafter
it will be the settled policy Of the Ger
man Government to direct the stream
of German emigration elsewhere than
to the United States. South and Gen.
trail American countries are mentioned
as the places to which an attempt will
be made to turn the tide, the reason
assigned being that in those countries
''the autonomous and uniform makeup
Of German colonies will not be politi-
cally interfered with" This is very
vague, but probably it means that Ger
man emigrants to South America can
still continue to be German citizens
and subject to military duty. The Ger
man immigration is as good as we get
from Europe, and yet the United States
is not suffering even for that. If Ger
man emigrants prefer South or Gen.
trail America let them go there, but it
is doubtful If the efforts of the Gov
eminent to control the matter will
amount to much.

Voting by machinery has not vet
been perfected so far as practical dem
onstration shows. The apparatus
which was used at Troy, N. Y, broke
down after it had worked while and
caused the electors and judges no end
of trouble. Forty-two men had voted
ND to the time of the accident, and
when the recording dials were exam
ined to discover the cause Of the acct
dent, it was found that by some error
of the mechanism all these votes We're
recorded for one set Of candidates. It
may be that these contraptions can be
made absolutely flawless, but until that
time the old way of voting would bet
ter be adhered to. There is such a
thing as carrying labor-saving devices
too far.
