Bread" and Pigeon" Seed.

School children in the crowded parts of New York do not speak of corn and oats and wheat by those names. but always refer to them as seeds The other day in one of the big schools the teacher was talk ing to her pupils about gardening. She ended with request for each pupil to bring few seeds the next day to be planted in the window boxes. The following morning the children appeared mostly with either oats, wheat or corn While putting a few grains of each in the earth the teacher referred to them by their ia miliar names. One of the girls in the class took courage to "set the teacher right" and said Some one must a told you wrong, teacher. That"-pointing to the wheat--''is bread seed, an that yellow stuff ain't corn; it's pigeon seed. We always call them that in the block where we live"

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, November 3-rrading in the
wheat market was dull early in the ses-
sion today and prices were inclined to
sag owing to scattered selling based on
weak cables and the heaviness OF the
cash grain situation in this country. Sell
ers, however. were inclined to be eau
tious because of the steady decline here
the last few days.
Prices at the opening were unchanged
to haN lower, with December at 1.O0N
to 1.04a1 OH. On buying by pit traders
the price Of the December option rallied
to 1.O4hal.O4h.
Buying Of corn by commission houses
held the market steady early in the day
despite selling prompted by favorable
weather throughout the corn belt. The
December delivery opened unchanged to
shade de, higher e. at SSh to Ss7aSss' and
Oats were quiet and steady. Local re-
ceipts were less than what had been es-
timated and this tended to hold the mar
ket steady. The December delivery open
ed unchanged at 30sta39h and sold early
In the day at 1914.
Provisions were strong owing to active
demand for lard. Local packing interests
were the leading bidders. Lighter re-
ceipts Of live hogs in the west were the
were &c lower to TIC higher.
The wheat market slumped severely
during the last half Of the session owing
to the cash situation In the northwest
where prices declined to a still lower
level. The principal selling pressure was
on the December delivery, the price OF
which option dropped to LOIS. The mar
ket closed weak at almost the bottom,
with December down 2h. at 1.O1Ha1.02.
The break In wheat caused some re-
cession in corn prices. the December
delivery declining from 50 to 5SS. The
close was easy, with December &c lower
at 5s1i.
