How Organization May He Effected.
- Important Facts Stated.
There is growing interest in the or
Eanization Of juvenile oranges. The
following facts, promulgated at the SEES
sion Of the national grange in 1890,
will be of interest:
Juvenile oranges may be organized
under such regulations as the state
grange may provide, and each juvenile
grange shall be within the jurisdiction
and under the special charge Of sub
ordinate grange. Any master Of SUBJ
ordinate grange may organize ju-
venile grange within his jurisdiction.
Children or persons eligible to member
ship in the subordinate grange, over
eight and under fourteen years Of age,
are eligible to membership in the ju-
venile grange The membership fee Is
usually Is cents and the quarterly dues
s cents per member, although the fees
and dues are regulated by each grange
for itself. .@S>-
The officers Of the juvenile grange
bear the same titles as those of the
subordinate grange, with the omission
Of the steward, his duties being per-
formed by the gate keeper. Each ju-
venile grange should elect a matron,
who is q member of the subordinate
grange. A juvenile grange cannot be
organized with less than twelve per-
sons, four of whom must be girls.
In organizing a Juvenile grange the
master Of the subordinate grange
should select from the children eligible
to membership twelve Of suitable age
and ability for officers. Their names
should be enrolled upon an applica ton
form and sent to the state grange for
permission to organize, for manuals.
charter, etc. The secretary Of the state
grange will give information as to the
amount to be RENTED for manuals and
other supplies, and after receiving the
official authority the juvenile grange
may be organized. The bylaws Of the
subordinate grange will govern in all
matters not provided for in the in
structions or in the manual.
The ritual work Of the juvenile grange
is uplifting and elevating in words and
sentiment. Young people usually enter
with great zest into the performance
of their duties and become imbued with
purer thoughts and more elevating
ideas Of their duties and responsible
ties in life.

SHARP DECLINE in WHEAT
HEAVY LIQUIDATION BY LOCAL
TRADERS THE MAIN CAUSE.
More than a Cent Hammered ON the
Products show Losses.

CHICAGO, Nov. Wheat prices sustained
further losses to-day. due to heavy liquidation
by local traders. with selling by Armour one OF
the main causes for the decline. December
wheat closed at a loss Of 1hc TO 1sc. corn and
oats a shade lower, and provisions closed from
a shade to 21k65c down.
News in the wheat pit was bearish, English
cables being lower. outside markets weak and
local receipts considerably increased. There was
a disposition throughout the day among local
traders TO sell December. one OF the chief incen-
tives TO such action being the decline In the
price of that delivery at St. Louis. The opening
on December was a shade TO &c lower al 7sSq
1850, and with liberal offerings and but a small
demand the price declined gradually. Reports
Of damage to the crop in Argentina caused a
slight rally toward the noon hour. and the mar
ket held steady until the last half hour. when a
sudden decline occurred on selling by Armour.
who has been a heavy seller the past two days
December sold off to 7S%G7sisc and closed at
7slsc, a loss of 1Ac to 1%c. There was a better
support to the May delivery. and that month was
frmer than the nearby option. clearances OF
wheat and flour We're equal to 2ss,s 500 blu. Pri-
mary receipts were 1.29s. 100 bu. against $780, 100

receipts Of Gas cars. which. with local receipts
OF 164 cars. one of contract grade. made a total
of So cars, against $50 cars last week and 2,523
cars a year ago.
Corn ruled firm the greater part of the day on
unfavorable weather and reports of poor husk-
ing, but late selling by s~calpers. on the severe
break in wheat. resulted In an easier feeling.
After selling between SAC and 44%c December
closed a shade lower at 43&G43sc. Receipts
were 2s cars, 16 Of contract grade.
Commission houses and local shorts were fair
buyers of oats. and with only limited offerings
the market held firm until near the close. when
the weakness in wheat caused a slight decline.
Unfavorable weather is retarding the movement.
and receipts were smaller. which tended to en-
courage the bulls. December ranged between
34HQ35c and S5kc. closing a shade lower at 34s
Q35c. Receipts were 1s4 cars.
Provisions eased OFF some in sympathy with
a 1Oc decline in the price of hogs. but buying by
shorts, with some demand from foreigners, held
prices fairly steady. Commission houses sold
the May products, supposedly for the account
of packers. January pork closed 2ikc lower al

The wholesale merchants talk encouragingly of

OF all classes to operate cautiously. From time
