September during the morning on con-
tinued liquidation. Later good buying
started on complaints Of dry weather in
some of the most important corn pro-
ducng states and on the announcement
Of an advance in grain rates. The local

ceipts were $50 cars. September ranged
from 3O5sc to Bic and closed &c higher
at Bic. December ranged from 2S15c to

butchers and sorts at $3.50 to $40. Pack

WAR on CONTAMINATION.

London.-The Prince of Wales pre-.
sided at private meeting at Mari.
borough House the other day, convened
by him to promote war against tuber.

Earl OF Rosebery and a number of noted
scientists and physicians spoke of the
urgent necessity of educating the people
in the means of preventing consump-
ton and checking the spread of tuber.
culous diseases among cattle.
Special stress was laid upon the i'm.

OF thirty-six of her dairy cows, which
had been found TO have tuberculosis.
1t was an example, he urged, such as
the farmers ought to follow.

According to the Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin, New
York, a prominent handler of Califor-
MIA dried fruits, speaking OF the con-
fusion arising from the present method
OF designating packages, said: 1t is in
every way desirable that 50-pound
packages should be known as cases and
25.pound packages as boxes, for the
reason that much confusion now arises
as to the size of the package desired
when simply boxes are ordered. For
instance, when an order for 100 boxes
of prunes of certain size is given, as
matters now stand there is uncertainty
as to whether % or 50-pound packages
are intended. The use of the term
boxes for 25-pound packages and cases
for 5O-pound packages would obviate
this difficult, not only in prunes but
in all lines of dried fruit, including
peaches, apricots, nectarines, pears,
etc.
California Fruit Grower believes the
suggestion to be a good one. All
wooden packages containing cured
fruits are termed at the present time
boxes whether the weight of the
contents be %. pounds or so pounds.
The use of the terms Ceases" for so.

Dewey Has u Year to Serve.

New York.-A Washington special
to the Herald says: Unless Congress
should pass a law authorizing him to
remain on the active list Rear Admiral
Dewey will be placed on the retired
list on December 26, 1899. Only one
other retirement will occur next year
that of Commodore II. l.. Howison,
now commandant of the Boston Navy
Yard.
There is strong sentiment in naval
circles in favor of the passage of Il law
which shall permit the retention of
Rear Admiral Dewey upon the active
list for ten years, as was done in the
case of heroes of 1.-THE Civil War.
Reports from Manila that Rear Adj
miral Dewey desires to return home
are not believed by department off
Gals, their advices from him indicating
that he desires to remain In the Philip
pines. 1t is not expected here that he
will be detached from the command of
the Asiatic station until just in time
to reach the United States on the day
of retirement.
