Calumet, Mich, Dec. 1.-The general
market opened fractionally lower this
morning and remained very inactive all
day.
In the Boston list there was not very
much activity either. Some Of the big
coppcrs being rather weak. There was
a report sent out this morning that as
a result OF the switchmen's strike the
Boston & Montana smelter had closed
down. Lake was the weak feature of
the list, selling down to So, with not
very much support given. Miami was
in good demand all day selling around
1871. Atlantic advanced a point on
news that crosscut had reached the
Superior lode.
In the curb list Chief Consolidated
was the feature on heavy eastern buy
inc. with sales at 2M. Cactus was also
wanted around Az. There was some
inquiries for L. S. e a. at the close at
IL. The balance of the curb list was
very quiet and unchanged.

Modern threshlng machines arc
things of genius and the improvements
arc many every year. For instance
the old time machine poured the gram
out in trickling stream and one man
stood by the spout and placed oushel
measure under the stream, leVeling
the top with a board when tho measure
was full and tallying the record on
piece of pine. II was dreary and mo-
notonous tnsk and the chance for error
was large When the thrcsherman,
who was interested In having every
bushel recorded, because on the num-
Der depended his pay. had doubt of the
accuracy he also had a watcher. and
two men were needed for the compara-
lively simple task
The modern machine docs all this
automatically The grain comes TO a
spout and elevator. Is weighed as II Is
delivered and the discharge is made di-
rectly into a waiting wagon. When
the day is over an accurate record of
the bushels threshed is shown on the
register.
