cember sold up to 9SIsc, but had declined

There was u little hesitation at the
opening In wheat on account of the weak
ness at Paris as shown by the early ca
bles. Wheat was quoted 10 centfmes
lower and flour 20d25 centlmes lower.
outside OF that news was all In favor OF
higher prices. The result was that De-
cember, which left OFF yesterday at 97hc,

was advanced to este in the first half

London Telegraph: In connection with
the distribution OF the money left by the
car last October for the Paris poor, Il
rather amusing incident has come to
light. The imperial aims amounted to
$4,000. and the sum was handed over TO
the public assistance department In order
to be divided among the bureauX do
blenfaIsance. or outdoor relief offices, In
different parts OF the metropolis. In one
OF these establishments the relieving
official took It into his head to mark the
pieces OF money given to the destitute
applicants for alms, who we're to receive
gf. each out of the imperial fund. Some
days after the distribution the official
sent an assistant TO change a thousand
franc note atthenearest wine tavern, tell
ing him to be sure to get as mnny two
franc pieces as possible. The assistant
soon returned with the change, and the
official uttered the words, 81 thought
80" as he raked in many of the silver
coins which he had carefully marked.
This showed him that the majority of the
people In his district who had received
their share out Of the imperial donation
had gone straight from the receiving
office to the public house and had. no
doubt, spend the whole or the greater
part OF the money received by them In
drinking long life to the czar.

Grand Opera House.

The excellent impression made by the
Star Gazer'' on Monday evening caus-
ed a packed house at the Grand last
night, when the clever comedian Joe
OFT, and his excellent company, gave
another fine rendition of this amusing
farce comedy The famous Clipper
quartet which appeared here last sea-
son with Excelsior, Jr.," is better than
ever, and throws into its numbers a fine
bit of comedy which makes their work
doubly pleasing. The Robin Adair quin-
tet, composed Of Miss Lockette, Joe
OFT, d. s. Don Phil OFT and Matt OFT,
also comes in for a generous share of
applause.
The show is one of the best comedies
that has appeared at the Grand this
season, and should not be missed by
anyone who likes a good evenings en-
tertainment.
There will be a matinee to-day.
