LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
A Week Of Quiet Trade, with but
Few EIucfnafiunS I'm ValneS.

In the week closed on Dec. &c trade was quite,
but no more so than is usual the last business
week of the year. But little will be done on
Monday except to plan for next years business.
In prices, the last week, there were no important
changes. Produce is weak at quotations and
lower prices for poultry. eggs and butter are
indicated the coming week. On Commission row
considerable fruit was sold during the week. at
very fair prices. Oranges are in better supply
and prices are easing off. The -four market,
with the weak tone to wheat, is declining IN
tendency. but no changes are made in prices on
this market. Navy beans are very firm at the
advanced quotations. Dried fruits and canned
good are quiet at unchanged prices, and pro-
visions are less active with prices easier. In all
lines. on Saturday, dizziness was the prominent
characteristic.
The local grain market shows no changes call
Ing for special note. Receipts are light. while all
cereals are in good request at the following
range of prices on the track, as reported by the

Hogs-Receipts, 800; shipments. 1,50A. The
receipts of hcgs were comparatively small for
this time in the week and the quality was un-
changed. The market opened with rather an
active demand from all buyers and especially
from shippers for light hogs. and that class were
taken promptly at 2isg5c higher prices than yes
terday. There was less competition for the heav-
Ter grades. and sales did not show any quotable
improvement in prices. The bulk of the hogs
sold at s4.s7ik@4.so. against .s7lz yester-
day. The receipts this week show a decrease of
1900, compared with last week and a slight
change compared with the same week a year ago.
Thus far this year there is a decrease of over
$4,000 compared with the same period last year.
During the week ending yesterday three local
packers bought a total Of II, ga and the Shipments
for the same period were 6.924. The market for
the week opened strong to higher. and on
Wednesday the sales were about l0c above the
close OF last week Later. however, there was a
reaction in prices. and on Friday there was not
much change compared with last Saturday. At
the extreme close OF the week light hogs rallied
some and closed nearly 2lkc higher than the
close Of last week. while good heavy hogs were
about 2tsc lower than the same time. The quail
iy of the hogs this week has been very good
generally. and a few fancy lots were represented.
Prices are holding up remarkably well, and It is
| rarely that there are rs few changes and as
| little difference in values for the same length
| of time as there have been this month so far.

the compact to restore and maintain
by eliminating competition in rates be-
tween the two points, will only tend to
create new competition at other ports.
Henry Herbert, chairman of the COM
mittee of the Produce Exchange, said:
THE railroads, in my opinion, can not
offset the competition of rival ports and
prevent a diversion of trade. They have
not enough cars to move the grain from
Buffalo. New York must look to a
barge canal to maintain and build up
her commerce. With a canal enlarged
to dimensions which have been proposed
we could bring grain to New York at
IA cents a bushel and this seems to me
the best solution of the problem"

MISS MAYO TO LEAVE.
Win Become State Secretary of z. W.
G. A. of Indiana.


AT a meeting of the board of directors
of the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation, held Thursday afternoon, a let
ter was read from the state committee
of Indiana, inviting Miss Henrietta
Mayo, TO become the state secretary of
the Y. W. c. A. of that state, with
headquarters at Indianapolis, and urg-
ing the board to release her from her
present obligations The board adopted
the following:
1T is with the most profound regret
and reluctance that we accede to the
request made today to sever the tender
relations that exist between Miss Hen
rietta Mayo. our general secretary, and
the association Since she came to US
about a year ago, she has by her inces-
sense and practical piety, not only built
up and strengthened the association in
every way, financially, numerically, So
clally, Intellectually, and spiritually, but
by her universal kindness, and most
lady-like department has greatly en-
deared herself to us all. Were it not
that we are conscious of the fact, that a
great opportunity has presented itself
to her, IN this most flattering call back
to her native state, to a much more ex-
allied position than the one she now oc-
cupies, we would not consider her resig-
nation for one moment, but as she be-
lieves this is plainly of Gods leading
we cannot do otherwise, and our hearth
est prayers and sympathies will go with
her.
Miss Mayo was requested to remain
in Topeka until the city association Sc
cures another general secretary.
