CHICAGO, Nov. THE unwillingness of
traders to remain short over the election
holiday the main factor in an advance
of 23sc in wheat today. Corn, oats and pro-
visions show substantial change. Nearly
all of the activity OF the wheat market was
confined to the first forty-five minutes trad
ing. There was a very evident unwilling
ness among big and little shorts to leave
their contracts uncovered over tomorroW's
election holiday, and the demand from this
source, while it lasted, was very potent. The
main additional support OF the market APP
parently came from the uneasiness in Eng
land over the political situation, as shown
by drop of SIG in the consols French
rentes were also easier. Liverpool, by open
ing time here, had fully recovered the de-
cline 1t started with, and cables brought fair
acceptances and inquiries for corn and oats
for export. The session preceding holiday
always is notably dull, and today was no ex-
ception. After the early demand had been
satisfied the market dropped. Domestic re-
ceipts were very heavy, as were worlds ship
ments, and the visible supply was expected
to show a large increase. These facts had a
good deal of influence in causing a diminu-
ton of the demand by those who were buy
ing on the European situation. During the
last trading hour trading was excessively
dull, but prices held fairly steady, renewed
covering by shorts on a small scale being suf-
icient to sustain the market. May opened
ku sc higher at 661s @661zc. 1t sold up with
in O short time TO 6619c, and gradually de-
clined to 66c. The closing price was 66Ac.
Corn early showed some strength, mostly
through sympathy with wheat, but the sub
seQuent weakness in wheat and the liberal
receipts of corn had influence enough to
cause a gradual decline in the price of the
coarser cereal. There g. fair shipping
demand for corn and clearances were liberal.
May ranged from 337sc to 1880, and closed
shade higher at 335s@3334c.
The market for oats reflected the action of
wheat and corn. When signs Of weakness
appeared, there was rather free offering by
receivers. Cash demand was limited. May
ranged from 24%@237sc to 241Rc, and closed
a shade lower at 241a@245sc.
Provisions were almost at a standstill. The
market was firm, helped by better yard
prices and the advance in wheat. What little
trading was done was mostly Of a scalping
nature January pork closed unchanged at
So O.. January lard a shade higher at $50
5.0215, and January ribs unchanged at $465.

SOUTH ST. PAUL, Nov. THE receipts at
the Union Stock yards today were: Cattle,
LOO; calves, 125; hogs, 800; sheep, 1000 The
week opened with prices shade stronger on
all kinds Of good cattle. There was quite a
little high grade stuff in, both butcher cat
tie and stockers and feeders, and 1t sold
quickly. The same conditions that have pre-
vailed for two weeks, in connection with
common stuff, still exist Prices offered for
such stock are even lower with sales slow
and dragging This condition will continue
to exist until there is let-up in the shipping
of common stuff. The hog market opened
stronger to &c higher than the close last week.
and closed steady in spite of a decline else
where. The run was light one and the
yards were cleared early. There was little
doing in the sheep market Prices are steady
and as high here as in Chicago. Fat lambs
are in demand.
Hogs-Market strong to sc higher than the
close last week. The run was a light one,
but the quality was fairly good The bulk
of the light hogs sold 1896 and $40. A
couple of choice sorted bunohes sold at Sc. 30.

whether in the "Original pockarps or
broken, with or without the U. 8. reye-
nue. stamp thereon. to pass the visilant

without paying toll.
In answer to the above joke will ex-
plain to the public that original pack
ages do not enter the postofiee as they
are over weight and the revenue stamp
is not postal revenue. The stamps re-
ferred 10 are found on barrels; withou,
stamp is when they are divided up in
jugs and bottles. Then the carriers of
original packages never reach the post
ONCE, as hold them up on the high
road and collect. l never collect tolls
from anyone but those who owe me, as
have carried many original packages
myself. The only complaint have is
these original packages become disfig-
ured before tney reach me, Out there Is
excuse as know it is long and lone
some ride from Meeker, and il l am the
only one who collects toll he must Jolly
himself considerable. 1 sincerely hope
the "lndisputabie authority will an
swer this I'm a numerous vein and sign
his indisputable name. OF course, II he
owes for the original package will not
blame Lin for keeping quiet and not
telling any more jokes that would cast
reflection on our worthy postmaster
who is not concerned in the matter at
all. Good naturedly yours,
