Grain and Produce.
FOREIGNERS AFTER NEW CROP.

Foreigners, after having thoroughly
secured the United States for spot
wheat-wheat that could be moved in
the near future--and falling to find
much needed supplies, are now in the
market for the new crop. Advices
from Kansas City and st. Louis say
there were numerous injuries there
for new crop hard winter wheat.
Wheat closed 1s@ssc lower and
oats was up 1sc today. Considerable
strength was shown by both these
markets early, the help coming main.
~ from the advance in wheat. The
seaboard reported $4,000 bushels
oats sold since Monday night, but the
bids on corn were said to be con.
siderably out Of line. Cash sales OF
corn at Chicago were $4,000 bushels,
and of oats $4,000 bushels, y
Hog products broke sharply in the
face OF known large clearances OF
lard and an improved demand for
meats and lard. The hog situation
will continue to govern provision
prices, and 1t is generally believed
that the supply OF hogs in the coun.
try is liberal.

Turnpikes.

It was formerly the custom to obtain
the funds to maintain principal thor,
oughfares by collecting a toll from
those using them. Pixies or gates
were set across the roads by the keepe,
or toll collector.
To prevent people who Travelled bis
road from passing without paying the
toll he was armed with pike, a long
handled stick with sharp iron head.
This was put across us barrier, and
when the toll was paid it was turned

turnpike, which meant road OIL
