PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, November H.-Corn was
again the big ;.iarket on the board Of
trade to-day. 1t was more apparent than
ever that the November corn was corner
ed and that option was bid up SIC. De-
cember closed sc higher. Wheat was
helped little by the corn strength, local
buying causing an advance of 1ec at the
close. Oats closed shade lower and pro-
visions unchanged to 712c higher. Though
opening fractionally lower wheat did not
show any particular weakness during the
first few minutes trading in spite of the
improved weather conditions, firm cables
sustaining prices. There was, however, an
almost total absence of buying orders. Lo-
cal traders were not in the market and
outside support was lacking, owing TO the
demoralfzed condition OF the telegraph
service. This fact was at once taken adj
vantage of by local bears, who for time
raided the market vigorously and ham
mered the price down half cent before
support was given. December opened 1sc
lower at 70Ap7sc. 1t sold for a moment
at tic, then dropped to 7013c, but at that
point covering. by shorts was started
and December rose slowly, finally touch
ing ll12c. The close was firm at 71ssa2c
Northwest receipts were 1853 cars against
S9l last week and 634 a year ago. Chicago
receipts were l01 cars, one of contract
grade. Total primary receipts were u.s.
ooO bushels. Corn opened firm notwith-
standing the favorable weather which
gave rises to hopes of a freer country
movement. Scalpers were free sellers of
both May and December Meantime Mo-
MEMBER, which showed an opening ad-
vance of a cent. had declined TO A1ac, &c
above yesterdays closing price. From that
point itsadyanced 12c at a time under bid
ding. by scared shorts until 45c had been
reached. December too, again turned up
ward on buying by the bull leaders. No
vember closed at 45c. an advance of 3s4c
December ranged from 36c TO 3514c and
closed CSC higher at 357sc. Receipts were
94S cars, only IA of which were contract
grade.
Oats were extremely dull, but fairly
steady helped by corn. Receipts were
light, 50 cars. December ranged from 2124c
70 2lzsQ22c, and closed shade lower at
2134Mbc.
Provisions were duh but steady. There
was good cash demand for products of
all xmas and this and the strength of
wheat and corn sustained speculative flu
lures. AT the close January pork was TIC
higher at S11.S21sc; January lard un-
changed at S6.S7Ja and January, ribs a
shade higher at s6.321b.
Estimated receipts Thursday: Wheat,
lS5 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, lis cars;
hogs, $4,000 head

WOOL.

BOSTON. November 21.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say Of the
wool trade tomorrow:
The developments of the past week or
ten days have not been of the kind calCu-
lated to impart much snap or activity TO
the wool market. The failure of w. L.
Strong @ Co, the Stott Woolel Mills and
Fred Hartley have naturally resulted in
creating certain amount Of depression
and a lull in business, and Yet there has
been fair trade IN progress, the sales of
the past week aggregating nearly 3,50.0o0
pounds. There is no general weakness in
the market and the sales whfcD have been
made this week so far as can be learned
have been made al substantially the same
prices as were current week ago. Hold
ers of wool are generally firm. This is es-
pecially true OF holders IN the country
In fact, tie latter are ffrmer, if anything,
regarding the failures referred to as local
in their character. The goods maket has
shown some improvement and the outlook
is for a good heavyweight season.
The sales of the week in Boston amount
ed to 5Z7 900 pounds foreign, making a to-
tai Of 3.452,o0 pounds, against total of
5,3S6.e99 for the previous week and a total
of $4,000 pounds for the corresponding
week last year.
The sales since January 1 amount to
12S, 215,330 pounds, against 314067, 756 pounds
for the corresponding time last year.

NEW YORK, November 21.-Commercial
Advertisers London financial cablegram:
There was only one market here. to- day,
namely the American market, which
showed remarkable buoyancy in the big
gest dealings since the election. London
bought heavily and the public was we'll in
evidence. The continent was also a good
from the American side. Tine chief fea-
ture was Northern Pacific. but Atchison.
Denver preferred, Union Pacific ana B. &
O. We're also greatly wanted. 1t was ru-
nlored that Atchison common would pay
a 21a per cent dividend in January. but
this was secuted in good quarters. The
market, however, is at present wiling TO
believe anything.
The bank lost e20GG0 to Malta Money
was in excellent demand. and as the bank
was borrowing on consols, the bank lent
slightly at 312 per cent till Saturday. A
million of Delagoa Bay money was releas-
ed, but it had no effect.

Baking Powder Law.

The Interpretation by Food Com
missioner Jones of the general food
law which becomes effective in ILL.,
nois on July 1, will be to restrict the
sale of the alum baking pc wders which
heret fore have been offered to unsus-
pecting consumers.
Alum in food has been condemned
again and again. Last winter the
United States senate committee took
up the subject, collecting the opinions
of eminent psychologists throughout
the country, who had no personal in
terest in the question. and recon-
mended that alum baking powders be
prohibite by law.
Illinois will not be the first state to
exclude the alum powders. Missouri
has a law under which the
of alum powders are
eing prosecuted. 1t looks as though
the alum industry would have to
move further west.

Fran Historians of sevres.

Only 215 miles southwest of Paris,
Sevres is well known to tourists. Beau
tiful porcelain has been manufactured
here since 1856, the royalties and re-
publics which followed each other tax
ing pains to have each period stamped
on the back of every piece made. Ini-
tials of kings, the date and often the
palace for which the service was de-
signed were placed plainly on the plate.
Thus in this silent but most eloquent
way these frail historians indicate the
changeful, brilliant story of their ma
tive land.

The Arabs Little Game.

In The Agricultural Journal of the
Cape of Good Hope appears an article
on the vitality of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t is often asserted that
samples of wheat from the same crop
as that which Joseph stored in Pha-
raoh's granaries has been taken from
mummy wrappings and. when planted.
has grown. This is very likely erro-
neous. as the Arabs have n habit of
selling to tourists samples of grain
which have in all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead of from the
ancient tombs. Indeed in many in
stances this mummy grain" has been
corn, and. as corn was not known until
it was brought from America, the
fraud is apparent.
