GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, August 22-The recent &C.
centricities of wheat carried the mar
for the moment buyers and sellers
were pennies apart. Opening prices
were from a up for May to IN for
December and in a few moments an
other cent was superimposed, but part
Of this latter gain was relinauished on
ensuing trades.
The advance was due to the shyness
of sellers rather than to any particular
demand. As has been the case since
the war began. price gyrations have
been largely due to the varying guesses
as to the European situation. and the
fairly general impression, in the face
OF influential utterances to the con-
trary. that war means higher grain
prices, regardless of the difficulties OF
shipment and financing.
Liverpool was higher; the English
crop was reported above the average

BRUNT OF WEEKS TIE-UP
FALLS UPON DRY GOODS
Other Lines of Imports Show Less
Proportionate Decrease at
New York Port.

NEW YORK. August 22.--Imports Of
general merchandise here for the week
ending August 15 were valued at $14,-
20s,22S, compared with $12,413.783 the
week before and $15,639,140 two weeks
before Included in these imports are
$271 ,039 worth of precious stones and
jewelry. Imports OF dry goods for con-
sumption totaled 81 1888. .257. silk entries
being appraised at $4T0.726 The week
before these entries were valued at ST.
49, ,49O. and at s2.275.7T7 in the corre-
spending week last year.
Significant as rejecting the paralysis
Of shipping following the outbreak of
the European war Is the fact that the
dry goods entries here the week Of Au-
gust 10 were less by $1,107.2S3 than in
the preceding week. The brunt Of the
tie-up appears for the week to have
fallen on dry goods, as imports in
other lines show no such proportionate
decrease.

The work of the fourth assistant post
master general has particularly to do
with the rural free delivery, and Mr., De
Graw's work in building up and extending
| this department of the post Offices busi-
| ness was monumental From a nucleus
of only a few thousand rural routes when

De Graw extended the rural free delivery
service until it now embraces 41,O0O
routes, radiating from almost as many
thousands Of villages, towns and cities all

about $1,000 persons directly. in the ham
ding of rural mail and its delivery to
farmers living along the routes.

favor. and a committee was named to
formulate a plan Of organization.
