La Tena's Circus is coming to Au-
gusta this season and the date is set
for "Wednesday. June is. 1t was mere
last season and made fire impress
sion. The Torrington, CT, Register
says of it,
La Tcna's Circus arrived here this
morning and gave this afternoon an
unusually good performance at treat
lot. The circus consists OF three rings
and several sideshows. The exhibit
ton of wild animals was OF special
merit. In fact, the circus features It's
wild animals. The performance of
these animals was inside large steel
cage. Another feature OF great inter-
est was Captain Wesley's troupe OF
trained seals. which appeared Tor a
year at the London Hippodrome. The
most exciting act was that of Nile.
Eugenie's troupe of seven performing
lions.
Other features were Walter Allen
and the famous herd of Downie ele-
plants. Herman Griggs and Olga
Reid, euuestrians: the Powell family
of five wire artists. Captain Wilson
| and his riding tiger Memo. There
| were % acts in all. The circus has
three bands and a calliope and eight
tents. For a circus of its size it is of
high quality and thoroughly enjoy
able for old and young. The verdict
of those who attended this afternoons
performance was that it was superior
in a great many respects to Wheeler
Brothers Circus, which was here last
Saturday. This afternoons perform
ance began at o'clock.
The performance this evening will
begin at o'clock, and it is expected
that the large attendance of this af-
ternoon will be equalled If not exceed
ed. All who attend will find that the
circus is as advertised in every re-
spect, and being somewhat out of the
ordinary on account of the large num-
Der of wild animals exhibited, it will
provide many interesting and original
features.

Charles G. Crowell Of the city car
rier force of the Augusta postoffice
brought to the Journal office Friday
afternoon a crab apple blossom that
was something Of a novelty, inasmucn
as it could hardly be distinguished
from a wild white rose. The blossom,
which was about two and one-half
inches across, came from tree in Mr..
Crowelrs yard on Cony street, and
with the exception of a bud which
grew on the same spray, was the only
blossom of the size on the tree. A Pc
culiar fact in connection with this
rose" blossom was that while the
other blossoms on the tree had reach
ed maturity and fallen to the ground
this one remained and yesterday af-
ternoon it was as fresh as if just OPP
ened.

WHEAT PRICES
LITTLE CHANGED
Business Was Light in the
Early Hours--Liquidation
Thought to Be Over

CHICAGo Dec. 10--The opening Of the
grain market today was quiet and in the
early hours business was light, with
prices showing only slight changes
Wheat sold a fraction above last nights
closing prices and then settled into a
steady swing. December brought s115
on the first sales x cent over yesterdays
final quotations, and May was sold at
s1.165s, or an advance of z cent. Prices
did not go over or under a cent less
than the initial ones before noon.
Despite the dulness In the early hours,
II was said that the undertone was firm
and we'll supported. The liquidations
which brought the decline of the last
ten days are said to be over.
A bullsh sentiment was caused by the
report of the destruction of 100000 BUSH
els of wheat In the elevator fire at Erie
and the news from Washington that tho
Spanish Government had decided to per-
nit the importation of 100000 bushels
OF wheat
Corn and oats opened favorable and
changed but little in the early hours,
Export sales reported totaled $4,000
bushels OF wheat and 100000 bushels of
oats. Cash handlers sold for seaboard
delivery 5000 bushels of wheat.
The market Mt Liverpool was un-
changed with prices easier. Spot sold

Although there Is considerable specula-
tion around City Hall and local financial
circles as to just how serious the hitch Is
regarding the passing of the ordinance
providing for the proposed new city loan
of sos O0O, 600 for transit port and other
improvements, the consensus of banking
opinion is that there should be no diff
Guilty in selling 4 per cent bonds at par
or better The point has been raised that
additional legislation may be required to
validate the recently approved constttu-
tlonal amendment to increase the city's
borrowing capacity.
AT most the hitch is considered tenn
porary and the expectation is that every
thing will be adjusted in time to hold
the special election, as scheduled, on
February 8. with money as cheap as IL
Is at present and with Philadelphia city
bonds selling above 102, IL Is figured that
there should be a good demand for the
new issue. It is thought likely that
banking syndicate will be formed to bid
for the bonds instead of the over-the-
counter method of sale recently en-
ployed.
Most city issues lately put out have
run for 80 years, but the new bonds VIII
mature in so years, and this should add
20 their attractiveness to investors The
last 100000 issue of 4 per cent. bonds,
which were sold at par and interest last
January. only required n few hours to
be entirely cleaned UP, and this was at
time when the security markets were
demoralized by European war develop
ments.
There seems to be a feeling on the
Street that the local fractions are in
some way to be benefited directly by the
big bond issue, although the plan itself
is supposed TO be a purely municipal
proposition. Be that as 1t may, there
