LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Fine Fall Weather and Easy Money
Market Give Snap to Trade.

The oldest merchants on the wholesale streets
say they never have known all conditions to
be so favorable to active trade at present
and the volume OF business demonstrates that
the retail merchants awake to the situation
and profting by the activity in business
Prices carry so strong and steady tone that
little risk is taken in stocking up with dry
goods groceries, or, in fact, any articles which
come into daily consumption. In prices yesterday
there important changes. People are
laying in their winter apples, potatoes and other
vegetables before the hardening tendency in
prices becomes a distinct advance The egg and
poultry markets rule strong at prices quoted.
The -four and provision markets rule easy, but
not quotably lower. Receipts of hogs large
and prices are easing off. This, in turn weakens
prices on all hog products to some extent The
seed merchants enjoying active trade,
with prices steady Coal dealers report their
sales daily on the increase and prices on all
kinds of coal are very firm.

The only work which will probably
be done this winter will be the removal
of the menagerie from its present loca-

and the grading off Of the ground along
Arthur avenue from there to Olive

in the center of this, with surrounding

The other improvements which will
be commenced in the early spring are
the artificial lake and perhaps the one

to be most thoroughly enjoyed, the
swimming pool.
The commissioners are all anxious to
commence work as soon as possible.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING.
Two Interesting Papers Read Before
the Members.

The literary features of the pro-
gramme for last nights meeting of the
Catholic Historical and Newman Maga-
zine club were two papers, read by Miss
Mary INLAND and Miss Sara Walsh.
Miss Niland's paper was a condensa-
ton of an article, entitled THE Max
ing of French Literature" by w. II.
Kent, which appeared in the October
number of the Dublin Review.
The national literature of France,
says Mr.. Kent, both from its own in
trinsic worth and from it's central posi-
ton, is among the first to claim the at
tention of students in literary history.
The French classic authors have lost
something of their ancient authority.
and are too often neglected or dispar-
aged. In the opinion of NJ. Brunetiere
the history OF a national literature is
not an unmeaning and unconnected
succession of books and authors, but
rather the gradual growth and devel-
opment, or, it may be, the decadence
and decay of a living organism.
The paper treated these propositions
at length and discussed the works of
many prominent French authors. The
work of condensation was admirably
done.
The second paper of the evening was
read by Miss Sara Walsh. THE Effect
OF Scientific Criticism On All Forms of
Professionalism" was discussed by Miss
Walsh in a very thorough and elabor-
ate manner. She called attention to
two points: One, that the non-Catho-
| lie writer's, though they look on mod
ern knowledge as reconciled with some
| form of Professionalism, claim it to be
so essentially inconsistent with Catho-
/ licism that Catholic apologists can
meet it only by ignoring or else by
trifling with it. The other is that the
Catholic writer's themselves appear to
regard their church as in a position of
such great, though temporary difficulty
that it must reserve its defence for
some future period, and~lecline even
to hint at present what the character
of their defence will be.
The article aimed to showAthat both
sides are equally and both astonish-
ingly in the wrong.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS VISITED.
Permanent Firemen to Become Fa-
miliar with City Edifices.

Chief Walker, of the fire department,
yesterday morning, together with West
Scranton's permanent firemen, paid a
visit to the West Scranton hospital
and st. Patrick's orphanage. They
went through the buildings from Gel
lar to roof to familiarize themselves
with every nook and Granny. Yester-
day the men who visited these build
ings were from the Hook and Ladder,
Franklin, Columbia and Eagle COM
panies. 1t is the chiefs object to make
the permanent men familiar with all
the public edifices. to know their plan
of construction, location of the doors.
windows, etc, and with this in view
will institute a series of visits to city
buildings.
Chief Walker is distributing new hy-
drant pumps to the city's fire COM
panles to be used after fires. After the
hydrants have been used in a fire a
small quantity of water generally
lodges in that part of 1t called the
bell. The water freezes and makes II
a necessity to use a thawing out pro-
cess. This must often be done when it
is necessary to use the pumps imme-
diately and it causes a great deal of
trouble. With the new pumps this will
be entirely done away with, as they
will pump the hydrants dry.
