GRAIN FALLS AGAIN
TRADING IN WHEAT Is DULL, WITH
TONE EASIER
Business Is Confined Mostly to Local Pro-
fessionaIs-Bearish Conditions Cause a
Slump at the Very Start-NorthWestern
Factor Still Potent.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-Extreme duIlness
was manifested In the wheat pit today
and was largely responsible for the easier
tone In prices. December wheat closed ssc
closed from 121s @15c to 221kc lower.
Trading in wheat was exceedingly tame
and the business was confined to local
professionals. Larger worlds shipments
than had been expected, lower cables and
continued favorable weather caused a
slump in prices at the start, December
selling off to 79Ac. after opening &c lower
kets were also dull and weak early in
the day, and this fact was a bear in
iuenee on prices here. The situation In
the the Northwest Mort 1,e was still potent factor.
loss was quickly regained. The market
received some support from a prominent
local operator, who bought freely of both
the December and May deliveries. but
toward the end of the session trading be-
came decidedly dull and prices eased OF
again. December closed &c lower at 791ac.
May ranged between 78Ac and 7S% a

Clearances of wheat and -four were
equal to 2S5,400 bu. Primary receipts were
I6O3,30 bu, against 1,99S,20o bu a year
ago. The amount on passage decreased
2,6sO,00O bu.- while the visible supply in
creased 1,52S.000 bu. Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of ,402
cars, against 1.277 cars last week and
1,924 cars year ago.
Bearish In Corn.
The sentiment in the corn pit was bear
ish and there was some selling early In
the day on the large worlds shipments
and the unsatisfactory condition of the
cash and export business, although trad
ers in general were not inclined to sell
much, owing to the small receipts and
the report of small country offerings. Es-
Inmates Of large receipts for tomorrow
caused increased selling late in the day
and prices weakened, December closing &c
lower at 42Ae, after selling between
42Ae and 1890. May ranged between

The feature in trading in oats was
the selling of May by commission hauses.
which caused a weak market. Shorts
were the best buyers and the support from
this source prevented a serious break
There was little trading in the Decem
Der delivery, but the weakness in May
had a depressing influence. An improve
ment in the cash demand was the princi
pal bull factor. After selling between
S49sc and 35kc, December closed 1kc lower
at 34%c. May ranged between 34ss @
341ac and 36h @36Ac. closing 3sc lower
at 35ssc. Local receipts were 229 cars.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis a thousand cars of
wheat in the yards-this was the first re-
port received when trading opened in the
local pit. In consequence there was sell
ing, and, with corn duh and cables a
shade lower. there was not much ON which
to hold the market. December - ing
closed Saturday on decline of 1c to 40

f1rmer. but selling off little, to 79Ac.
When the postings were all up, however,
the showing was anything but bearish.

viii Rebuild at Once.

The ten citiz9ns who are directly in
terested in the Mould & Boynton
granite business met at the office of
G. Al, A. Staff Ird Monday and Tues
1av3eF5Diags and discussed plans for
at once rebuilding the sheds. Defn-
lCe llans are not yet completed, but
it is assured that the sheds will be re-
buil5 at once, either on the old site or
in o new location in Morrisville. The
firm Is anxious to resume business
as soon as possible and are making
every Effort to this end. It is an-
n0unced by them that the new sheds
will be supplied with either gasolene
or electric power, with the latter pre-
ferred. Article eight in the warning
of the coming village meeting is to
afe II the village will vote to author
u the Water and Light Commits
sioners to sell electric current for pow
er purposes. There will probably be
no opposition to u yes vote on the
article, as it will benefit a large num-
Der of people and would no doubt be
taken advantage Of by large num-
Der of business concerns.

ANOTHER FIRE.
The Home of Henry Prior Burned Last
SUNDAY Noon.


Last Sunday at about 1920 Nor.
risville was visited by another fire
which wiped out the buildings and
part of the furniture on the Merriam
farm, between MorrisvilIe and Cady's
Falls, purchased about a year ago by
Henry Prior.
The fire started from stovepipe in
the chamber in the main part of the
building and was first discovered by
Glenn A. Wilkins, who was walking
from Cady's Falls on the track and
Doticed smoke coming from the roof
around the chimney. This was about
noon and Mr.. Prior and family were
all attending the A. G. church in this
place. Mr.. Wilkins hurried to Nor
risville and gave the alarm and the
bell was rung by Don Sanders. In an
incredibly short space of time several
hundred people were on the spot and
the household goods were removed
from the house, nearly all of the fur
niture on the first fl )oF being saved
The contents of the cham bers were
practically all destroyed. The flames
spread quickly from the main part of
the house to the ell and barn and be-
fore the FIRE company, which respond
ed promptly, could reach there, the
buildings were all in flames and be-
yond control. The chemical engine
was first on the spot but was
found to be unfit for use. The "Capi-
tol" arrived soon after and was drawn
to the river and two gangs at the
pump kept a stream of water on the
buildings for over an hou'. About
seven tons of hay were burned in the
barn.
The buildings were insured in the
Vermont Mutual, through the agency
of Powers & Cheney. The amount Of
insurance was 5000; placed as fol-
lows House, $500; barn, 500 !;
contents OF barn, 500; produce, $50;
contents of bouse, $500
Mr.. Prior and family have the sym
pathy of ell in their misfortune They
have moved thegoods to the Thomas
house, recently purchased by Amos
Ferry, on Bridge street and will re-
side there for the present, MIR, Prior
has talk of building this summer on
the old site, but is not decided about
the matter as y9t.
CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our
sincere thanks to the people of Morrisville
and vicinity and also to the Fire Company
for the assistance rendered at the fire, which
destroyed our home last Sunday noon.
