The Trade of the Week. as n Whole,
WINS Quite SatisfactOry

Inquiry on wholesale streets and on Commits
sion row gave evidence that the business done In
the week ended Oct. 81 was quite satisfactory,
so far as volume was concerned. In some lines
better margins would improve matters; but in
most lines the slight advances from time to time
have bettered margins considerably. COMPETE
ton. however. was never more pronounced than
at the present time. Early in the week the poul-
try. the egg. the fruit and vegetable markets
broke. and prices declined until Friday and Sat
urday, when they fully recovered. With good
weather conditions, the last half of the month.
in volume OF trade, will be as good as the first
fifteen days. as in all lines stocks carried by the
retail merchants are reported by travelling sales
men to be low. The prosperity of the country
has placed the retail merchants in better condi-
ton financially than at any time in years.
Wholesale merchants report that in numerous
cases, where retail merchants have for years
run from two to five months in arrears in paying
bills. they are now among their most prompt
paying patrons.
The local grain market Is Disappointing. Re-
ceipts are light. the scarcity OF cars being, in

What a happy thought II Is 10 prepare q
nice, large $4,000 silver service for George
who is coming to ride around Cook county
for two days next month. We think we
may say that We shall all be united. ire
spective OF party, on a silver service with
perhaps. occasional gold trimmings. But X
we know George and his modest tastes. We
think he would greatly prefer <10.o00 In gov
eminent bonds or improved property with
riparian rights north OF Lincoln Park. tn
fact Is that when a man goes TO bed with
all THAT silver I'm the house he feels sort OF
nervous and gil at ease. IL really II very
inconvenient to lug $1,000 worth of solid
silver up TO ones bedroom every night. ana
George, as we all know. Is not strong Here
in Chicago we can get a private watchman
on shares for 81 a month. but with the pub
licity given TO this magnificent testimonial
George would be compelled 10 hire a man
Just TO loaf about and watch that silver.
and We do not believe that would pay. Real
". IL does seem as IL we might select some
thing that will not involve so much care
and anxiety. Suppose we give him a dog
he Is fond OF dogs. We could buy a nr<t-
class 81. Bernard for $4,000. and the prize
winning and breeding would guarantees =
steady income.

BELOW SEVENTY CENTS
WHEAT MAKES a NEW Low RECORD
IN THE DECEMBER OPTION.
Increasing stocks and n Poor For
eiEn Demand Cause the Slump
Strength i'm Corn and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21-wheat got below the
70-cent mark for December to-day. estab-
fishing a new low record for this option.
Liquidation. induced by steadily increasing
stocks. in connection with an apathetic
foreign demand caused the reduction in
price. December closed with a loss of ga
nc, at $3.50. Corn and oats were relatively
strong and closed a shade higher. Pro-
visions ruled steady and closed a trifie up
all around.
Wheat opened weak, and for the first two
hours cultivated further heaviness. Lower
cables and indications of a heavy increase
in the visible supply discouraged longs,
who began to unload freely from the start.
The market showed considerable stubborn
ness. however, yielding grudgingly, and
finally when the price got a traction below
20 the buying became so pronounced that a
sharp upturn followed, the opening loss be-
ing fully regained. But the improvement
was only temporary, as the bulls lost conf
dence owing to a flood of bearjsh statistics.
Then liquidation and short selling began
to weigh the market down again, and 1t
continued to slump to the end, closing weak
at the bottom. December opened Ac lower,
at Oa7O1sc. declined to @7sc. rose quickly
to 7OAc and declined again to $3.50 at the
tlOSt. SlhCdSO ItCtlplS WCiC lo1 az iOdi
Of which graded contract. Minneapolis and
Duluth got 715 cars. compared with 9S2 for
the corresponding day a year ago. Worlds
shipments to Europe during the week were
estimated at 1900, 900 bushels, nearly 100000
bushels in excess of the weekly require
ments. Indications from stOck-taking GEN.
tiers were that the visible would increase
over 100000 bushels during the week, while
the amount on ocean passage showed a
liberal increase. Shippers spoke very dis
couragingly of the prospects for export
business, claiming that foreign bids were
farther from the market than ever to-day.
New York reported but twenty 6oatloads
sold for export. Atlantic port clearances in
wheat and flour equaled 10000 bushels.
Bullish country advices, moderate re-
ceipts and an excellent cash demand
strengthened corn. There was a soft spot
early, owing to the slump in wheat, but as
broad. with buying general, and a substan-
tial gain was established. Part of this was
lost, however. near the close on profit TAX
ing. Receipts were 473 cars. December
opened a shade lower at S2saS0lzc. sold
sparingly at 30Sc, advanced 10 3e% q305sc
and declined to 301ad 3OSsc at the close.
| There was very little speculation in oats,
the market holding steady with corn. Ship
ping demand was fair. Receipts were 24
cars. December opened a shade lower at
Provisions ruled steady, with prices up a
trife all around, owing to the strength in
corn. Packers bought freely of pork and
lard. January pork closed &c higher, at
1885, January lard 212c higher, at $5.32la, and
January ribs 2hd5c higher. at $3.50.
Estimated receipts for Monday-Wheat,
132 cars; corn, 400 cars; oats, $40 cars; hogs,
$1,000 head.

There is a bachelors club in the West
whose only rule to which members swear
allegiance when they join the club is
Marry a widow" Young girls and old
maids alike are barred. One explanation of
this rule Is: I'VE consider II the part OF
wisdom to marry some one who has already
discovered that men are not angels" An
other member gives this philanthropic rea-
son: Young girls always have the best
chance with their fresh. blooming faces.
and we think the widows ought to be given
a show, as their lives have been blighted
in a measure. as II were. Anyway. they
seem to understand a nan better" An
thing forbidden suddenly acquires wonderful
interest. A lot OF bachelors who pledge
themselves to marry widows are sure to
discover the hitherto unappreciated charms
of al the maldens IN town
