CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The speculative
trade in wheat opened dull and for the first
hour the trend was downward the most
weakness. however, being in May, which
sold II cent below the close last night,
while December kept steadier and sold only
4 cent below the close yesterday. May
opened at 901a cents and sold to 9O4. while
December touched S37s cents. The Liver
pool market was again tame. and seemed
inclined to sell off some while dispa tches
from New York said that the frost dam
age in Argentine was slight and the outlook
for good crop favorable. Trade was dull
at times, but later speculation became more
active and there was a gradual rally of
Is cent in May and l cent in December.
The demand for December became quite
brisk and it was rumored that the bull
clique was bidding, when the shorts made
an effort to cover which gradually sent the
price to 977s. and May moved up to 9o7s in
sympathy. A rumor that some of the
wheat received from Duluth had been re-
jected by the Inspection department con-
tributed to the alarm displayed by the De-
cember shorts.
The exports from both coasts for the
week aggregate 5.445 0ne. against $3.50, 900
bushels for the week before and ,654 900 for
the corresponding week last year and
Broomhall of the Corn Trade News cabled
that in order to keep up present stocks
Europe would have 10 import between now
ana April lst next 1856, 900 bushels of
wheat. Gables also reported that the R,ls-
sian ports on the Sea OF Azof were being
closeu Dy ice, shutting off Russ an supplies,
but the report had more effect here appar-
emily than it did at Liverpool, which led
many to doubt its reliability.
There was a sharp break during the last
hour, and May sold off e to 30 cents. and
December lost Ii cents selling down to
1885, after having sold at 9i7s. The weak
ness abroad and the dull and narrow trade
caused the early buyers to sell out, and
the market being SO weak that longs were
not disposed TO carry holdings over the
Sunday holiday, and selling contributed to
the weakness. At the close May was 80
cents bid, and December 944 or AZ cents
over May. where the difference last night
was only 31a cents.
Corn was dull and heavy and at the
close q cent lower for the day. Trading
in the pit was largely in the way of chang
ing December to May on the existing differ
ence.
Oats opened firm and for a while prices
were higher. Later however, the firmness
gave way to weakness. caused by liquida-
tion of moderately large scale.
Provisions were duller even than their
prices were SO small as to be hardly worth
recording

Ants Have Ladies', Maids.

We know we'll enough that ants are
the most advanced of all the insect
world, that they can talk to one an.

the most astonishing of all. A natural.
list has been making observations on
their toilet and has discovered that
each insect goes through cleaning

another, who acts for the time as lady 4
maid.
Ants of the genus alta were the
subject of these observations. These, he
found, slept In relays for about three
hours. When they woke up, they would
stretch their limbs just like warm
blooded animals. Even under the micro.
scope he could watch them yawn. Then

Paul's Academy. The right side of the
skull was fractured and he had been

the priest was murdered, and the fact
that his watch and purse, which he
had are missing, lends strength to this
theory. There is not the slightest clue
to the murderer.
