Morning
Shopping.

There are many advantages in
shopping during the morning
hours, say from $50 till IL
o'clock. First. there is always a
charm in first choice, and you
then have first pick of such spe-
cia1s, advertised goods, or new
goods just exposed for sale;
then there is not the hustle,
hustle and confusion of the af-
ternoon; you can trade delib-
erately; NO feeling of haste or
that someone waits in turn or
that you'll not get a portion of
this or that which you see and
want. Try morning shopping
for q change, and the benefits
will demonstrate themselves SO
plainly as to make you an en-
thusiastic advocate of it your
self.

WHEAT MAKES ANOTHER Squirt.
MAY ADVANCES TWO CENTS IN
THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Due to Advices From Buenos Ayres
That Argentine Crops Had Been
Injured by Frosts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10-Wheat started
at bulge of 1ss@1s4c for May, opening
trades in that option ranging from 9O1a
Q9O7sc, and somewhat excited de-
mand existing at these figures.
The cause was the wholly unexpected
jump at Liverpool, where advances of
from 11a@212c per bushel were record
ed before trading commenced here.
This. it was soon explained, was due
to Buenos Ayres dispatch to the Lon
don Times" stating that the wheat
and flax crops of Argentine had been
severely injured by frosts.
Great efforts were made to discredit
the frost news, but it was too well au-
thenticated to be disbelieved. The only
possible uncertainty connected with
the matter was as to the demand. and
1t gave a scare to the short sellers.
The opening advance, of course, at
tracted selling orders from people who
considered the rise too sharp and sud-
den to be maintained. Such selling
kept the price from getting higher
than 1T opened for about an hour but
all the efforts of the heavier shorts,
who refused to buy on the bulge, but
dare do nothing to help depress it, ex-
cept in the way of talking it down,
could rot accomplish more than sc
reaction from the highest point of the
opening range. The market sold down
very gradually to 90Ac, then backed
forth between that price and 90ac, but
by noon was selling around Ole
In some respects the news was bear
ish, chiefly in connection with domestic
receipts. Chicago had 1O4 cars in
spected into store, against forty year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth got 1,OO9
cars, against All the corresponding day
of 1856.
The acceptance from abroad of wheat
offered by cable yesterday and the day
before are the largest this season
What came to the strengthening of the
market at such times as the belittling
of the Argentine news was having some
effect. Before the day was done, it
was reported that 125 boatloads-1. 600 :
OU0 bushels-had been sold for export
The market ruled strong near the end.

National Master j. H. Brigham, AS
sistant Secretary of Agriculture, was in
the chair.
The morning session was short, and
devoted to preliminaries.
The report of the Treasurer, f. S.

his annual report. Mr.. Brigham said
that the condition of the order was
very encouraging. One hundred and
forty new oranges had been organized
and sevcnty-four dormant ones revived
during the past year
I'VE have" he continued, treason to
rejoice over the marked Improvement
in the prices of most products of the
farm. The prices now received are not
burdensome to the consumer, but re-
munerative to the farmer, and if
maintained will cause a marked ad-
vance in the value of farm lands
1T is also a highly gratifying sign
of the times that the business failures
in the South and Southwest in July,
August and September of the present
year represented in the aggregate of
their liabilities only 81 1874 ,OOO as COM
pared with $11, ,49S.OOO during the cor
responding period of the preceding
year.
Earnest efforts are being made to
extend our markets in foreign coun-
tries, and to secure the abolition of the
discriminating restrictions and prohi-
bit1on CT those unjustly maintained by
certain foreign countries against our
agricultural products"
