CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.--weakness in the wheat
market developed toward the middle OF the
session and continued until the close. Prior
to that time strong tone had prevailed ow-
ing to active demand by commission houses
and shorts due to the strength in corn and
oats to advance in the price of wheat at
Liverpool. The situation in the northwest was
the principal reason for the selling pressure
that carried prices down from 19sq17sc from
the high point Of the session. Receipts of
wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth today were
nearly 100 cars IN excess of those received the
corresponding day year ego. While those at
Winnipeg were 1916 cars against 2i6 cars last
year a report from Minneapolis was TO the
effect that the movement would continue to be
heavy all winter. A slump in coarse grams
helped to weaken the market during the last
hour of trading. The close was weak. May
opened jt9isc higher at sloi5SI1.02is, sold up
to $1.02it and then declined to si,ooss The
close was at N.00Adl. .00st.
Corn prices advanced from %dJ1c early in the
day result of active demand by shorts.
who were actuated by continued urgent in
quiry for cash corn by eastern shippers. Lead
ing longs sold freely on the bulge which caused
less of all the early gain. The market closed
weak. May opened A@&c to is@ssc higher at
56A@57c, advanced to 57ssc and then declined
to 56hc The close was at 56it G56ssc.
Sentiment In the oat pit was decidedly bull
ish early in the session, owing mainly to urgent
demand for cash oats. The price of cash grain
was UP from 1@2c. the advance being attributed
chiefly to Inactive demand from the south.
Nearly all OF this gain was later lost on realiz-
ing. The close was easy. May opened 1@1hc
higher at 53bGD53aic, advanced to 54izc and then
declined to 52itc. The close was at 52ss952Ac
Provisions advanced sharply early in the day
on renewed covering by shorts. based on the
small selling of local stocks. Much of the gain
was later lost on profit taking. The close was
quiet May pork up 7iac, lard TIC and
ribs 10c higher, respectively.

60, 900 Tons OF Currants.

Our great-grandmothers, although they
had TO pay q very high price for dried
currants, considered them quite indispen-
sable to the compromising of those pies,
furmities and iorentines which were the
pride of every housewife Domestic
catering must have been an arduous I'M
dertaking in those days, for currants and
other dried fTGi.s We're not to be pro-
cured out of London except once a year.
at the annual fair of the local market
town.
The royal dish of plum porridge, which
it was the privilege of the Archbishop
of Canterbury to serve to newly
crowned sovereign, was composed largely
of currants, the fruit being stewed in
strong beef soup enriched with red wine
and red sack.
Now that the order has changed and
simplicity is the keynote of the highest
class cookery, we Britons have trebled
our appreciation of the homely and
wholesome currant; and although horen-
tines and plum porridge are dishes of the
past no less than 1000 tons of currants
go every year TO the making of bread
cakes, pastries and buildings to tempt
the British appetite.-Ladies Pictorial

River Eating Up a Town,

from st. Joseph, is on its last legs.
More correctly, its last legs are about to
he swept from under it. The hungry
Muddy, which eats few thousand acres
of rich farm land every year between
Sioux City and st. Louis, has stretched
out its mouth for Elwood, and the little
village is about to give up the ghost.
Some time ago government engineers
made a survey OF the river and recon-
mended to the War Department that
$4,000 be spent to save Elwood and
Lake Contrary, the latter just south OF
ST. Joseph, on this side of the river. No
action has been taken as far as citizens
of Elwood can see. so today they started

French inventor is said to have pro-

1t transpires that when the Swedish
cruiser Fylgia steamed out of Boston
harbor with Prince Wilhelm she was
minus about thirty of her ''Jackies," who
found America so satisfactory that they
could not resist the temptation to pro-
long their ''shore leave" indefinitely. 1t
will be recalled that the British war
ships which visited jamestown for the
opening of the Exposition experienced
heavy losses by desertion. This could be
prevented by the abolition of ''shcre
leave" but as such restriction would
cause discomfort and initiate against dis
cipline, the captains of foreign warships
are compelled to take their chances when
in American ports.

The exact figures have not been pub

tons of coal day during her maiden
voyage. Approximately thousand tons

ty-four hours, but it is over two hun
dred tons less than the German advo-

the Lusitania would require daily to sup
ply steam for her turbines. But as every

Boston cannot be claimed to a rational
view of the proposed removal of the old
frigate Constitution by the statement of
a naval officer that there is not enough
left of the original ship to make a tooth
pick. The people of the Hub value
the old ship as shrine, which has
doubtless drawn many thousands of tour
lists to her hotels. This is considera-
ton that appeals more strongly than the
remainder of the old Constitution, which
would probably be hard to find without
taxing the ship out of water and using
uli adj in the vicinity of her Keel.

There are occasional emergencies on
warships which test the courage of men
more thoroughly than do the emergen-

under the spur of excitement. The saw

gunner, and the nine seamen who re-
moved the ammunition from powder
magazine that was already dangerously
heated by an accidental fire in an ada
cent coal bunker deserve hero medals.

Lack of adequate water supply is

supply from the Hudson river came to
the rescue, or the loss would have

One of the worst features of the
fire was the tremendous crowd which

crowd that the police had great diff
