'ROYALTYS VISIT IS over
Magnificent Farewell to King on
His Departure from Dublin.

Deep Appreciation of Loyalty
Shown the Party.

Dublin, Ireland, July 27.-King Ed

lin by train shortly before noon Sat-
urday, accompanied by Princess Vic
toria and their suites, on their way to
Newtownards, County Down, where
they will visit the marquis of London
derry at his Mount Stewart residence.
Notwithstanding the rain the royal
party drove from the vice regal lodge
in open carriages and halted at
Phoenix park to review thousands of
school children, whose volume of
shrill cheering while one of the num-
Der presented a bouquet to the queen
was one of the most touching features
of the Dublin reception of their majes-
for its enthusiasm and the entire alb
sence Of unpleasantness. The route to
the railroad station was packed with
continuously cheering people, who
gave the royal visitors a magnificent
farewell.
A message from King Edward to the
Irish people expresses deep appre-
citation of the loyalty and affection
with which the king and queen were
surrounded during their stay in Dublin
and says his majesty trusts that in
Gods providence the Irish may enjoy
blessings commensurate with the
warmth of their hearts.
After the king left Dublin it was
announced that he had donated $4,000
to the poor of the city.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Trading was very
dull yesterday and the market was rather
disappointing. being lower all day in spite
of higher cables. but the crowd was more
inclined to wait for the Government re-
port of the final estimate of the crops of
1902, which was published to-day. Ex-
porters took liberal amount of wheat
again and there was good inquiry here
for cash wheat Quite little of Ii no doubt
would have been worked but for the severe
scarcity of cars. which makes business al
most impossible. l think, though, this car
situation will be eased up some shortly
and then the stock of wheat here will no
doubt be moved out rapidly. For the
present ii looks like continued dull market
and possibly some declines. The corn mar
ket was strong early, eased Off later also
on account OF the fear that the government
report will confirm the previous large esti-
mate of the crop My privat. advices are
unanimous that the movement of corn
would be very heavy If cars could be OBJ
tanned A lower market seems to me the
more likely. Oats were the r.cst active
of all grains. However, everyone has them
bought expecting those who are long the
most will put UP the market for them.

break before buying back. Provisions were
lower. / think sales OF May pork, lard

LITTLE DOING in GRAINS
PRICES GENERALLY LOWER UNDER
MANY BEARISH INFLUENCES.
Losses Range from 1-Sc to 3-Sc In All
Cereals-HOg Products Close st
Small Mixed Changes.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31-There was little do
ing in either the grain or provision pits on
the Board of Trade to-day, and prices had
a downward tendency. May wheat closing
sc lower, corn off AQ%c and oats down
hGAc. Provisions closed from 2hQ5c
higher to 7ls@1Oc lower.
Wheat ruled dull, and in the absence of
any material demand the market was easily
affected by the rather bearish news. Liver
pool cables were easier. Argentine advices
reported good harvesting weather, and
Northwestern markets were weak. The
fact that the government crop report esti-
mated gain in the total yield of $4,000. 600
bushels was also a depressing influence
There was considerable liquidation going
on during the entire day. The close was
easy and near the bottom. May opened hc
to &c lower. at 76ssq761ac and sales were
made soon after the opening at 761k@76ssc
Then the price gradually declined until 76h
Q76Ac was reached. The close was sc
lower at 7614c Clearances OF wheat and
flour were equal to $4,000 blu. Primary re-
ceipts were 507 900 bu, against a holiday last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts of 296 cars, which, with local re-
ceipts OF 81 cars, none of contract grade,
made total of 347 cars, with a holiday
both last week and year ago.
In spite or beariSh government report
corn held fairly steady, a fair demand from
commission houses being the supporting in
fluence. Weather conditions were favorable
for the movement of the crop and local
traders were disposed to favor the selling
side. The volume of business was light and
the close was easy, with May of AQasc at
43c. after selling between 43 and 4S%c. Re-
ceipts were 2S4 cars, three Of contract
grade
Oats were quiet and easy, the depression
in other grains being the chief bear factor,
although the government report was con-
sidered disappointing. Commission houses
were liberal sellers early, and offerings
were we'll absorbed by local traders, who
were inclined to support the market. There
was less demand late in the day and the
close was easy, with May HQAc lower at
33%Q33%c, after ranging between 335sc and
331sc. Receipts were 104 cars.
Packers gave good support to provisions,
and. although the market was easier, the
decline was not as great as the weak con-
dition of the hog market would warrant
The opening was easier on liberal receipts
of hogs and a drop Of 10c to 15c at the
yards. but part of the early loss was re-
gained and the close was steady. The
market was helped some by shorts, who
covered in the January products. May
pork closed 7zG10c lower at $16.3711, lard off
PFC at $952is and ribs 2tQ5c higher at $S.66
