Wheat-Trading in wheat to-day
started down below put price on account
Of the decided drop In prices at Liver
pool. The edge was also off on the cash
market, as a lull in the export business
was expected to follow the recent con-
tinuOus decline abroad. December
opened %c lower at 65K @65hc, which
brought out some long wheat on stop
loss orders, but buying against puts by
traders who held privileges checked the
downward trend and the early business
was transacted at Csc, or fraction bet
ter. A report from Argentine that frost
had caused a great deal of damage to
wheat in that country gave the bulls
some encouragement and December raj
lied quickly to 659s, at which price a
heavy business was done. Worlds ship
ments were large, 8,5O0,OOO bushels, with
the increase from America, while Rus
sia and the Danubian ports showed some
falling Off for the week. The amount
on passage for last week showed an in
crease Of 2,224,000 bushels. Chicago re-
ceiVed 2S9 cars, against 181 cars for the
same day last year, and Northwestern
receipts were 1871 cars, as compared
with 1,451 cars for the corresponding
day last week and 1856 cars year ago.
Corn-Clear and mild weather and
lower cables, together with the decline in
wheat, weakened corn at the opening.
Receipts were light, however, 365 cars,
and the country bought heavily. That
started the Old-time bulls buying and
in the scramble to get under cover the
market developed very strong tone
and prices advanced quickly. December
started &c lower at S2c and advanced to
821sc, then settled back to 32%c.
Oats-The improvement in oats was
attributed to the influential buying and
limited offerings. The strength displayed
in cash oats and the firm premiums
which they command over futures
tended to hold sellers in check. May
began Nc down at 24%c and rose to
24%c.
Higher prices for hogs
at the yards and a good demand for cash
meats, together with a general loading
up by packing house interests, strength
ened provisions. January lard began
2hc up at $4.95 and rose to $4.95@
4971s. January pork opened sc higher
at $9.O21a and advanced to $90715 5@9.1O.

rolled down crack between two of

put out by his loss, trifing though it

Early the next day friend Of his,
while walking by the spot, discovered
the Irishman in the act of deliberately
dropping a dollar down the same crack
through which he had lost the nickel.
The friend was, of course, much aston

Insects Faster Than rirds.


A common house fly is not very rapid

beats second and send it through the
air twenty-five feet. under ordinary
circumstances, in that space Of time.
When the insect is alarmed, how-
ever, it has been found that it increas-
es it's rate of speed to over $50 feet per
second. If it could continue such
rapid flight for mile IN straight line
1T would cover that distance in about
So seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time
to see a bee or wasp keeping up with
the train and trying to get in at one
of the windows. A swallow is con-
sidered one of the swiftest flying birds
and it was thought until short time
ago that no insect could escape it.
A naturalist tells Of an exciting
chase he saw between swallow and a
dragon fly, which is among the swift
est Of insects.
The insect few with incredible speed
and wheeled and lodged with such ease
that the swallow, despite its utmost
efforts, completely failed to overtake

ing parties are looking over the diff

to all appearances the only thing
lacking is the charter which the Leg

the proposed extention. There is 10
reasonable excuse for opposition to
