Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. 28.-Wheat: Rather
quiet market within a narrow range.
Local bulls were somewhat disturbed
by more peace rumors and the easier
stock marwet. Their selling out caused
the break. The rallies were due to re-
ports of export business, or at least ru-
mors of it. The large business reported
the last few days lack confirmation. The
market is level again where bearish
developments would be very effective
and bullish developments necessary to
maintain prices.
Corn: Corn has ruled easier. Trade
Is largely local. Receipts are very lib
eraL Cash business dull and the cash
market lower.
Oats: Oats very dull and easy, fiuc-
tuating on the action of wheat.

lower, scattered liquidation by commits

New York.-The market is largely
in professional hands and passing
through the usual secondary phase
which follows a heavy break in prices.
This sagging movement may last some
time and carry prices lower than
present levels, but there is no reason
to believe that they will exceed the
low limits reported on last weeks
break. The incoming dullness is an
indication for transfer Of ownership
which has recently taken place and
indicates that stocks are again in very
strong hands.

Ch1cago-With a strengthening in
the cash situation and a doubling of
cash premiums there is more disposi-
ton among bulls to work the buying
side on breaks. They believe that
should interests which are buying for
the allied governments go ahead with
their purchases, they must feel cer-
tain of their ability to get the grain
abroad. Bears say that the foreign
buying is nearly over and they want to
see more substantial evidence Of the
grain being cleared before changing
their attitude. Sentiment in the corn
pit is divided. A few of the aggres-
sive local bears think they see evil
dence Of the market getting ready to
break. Others think the market is
getting ready to move out of the rut
and predict an advance.

ing our native wild flowers

on these subjects in the shape Of State
publications, l am utterly HELPLESS. be-

be an excellent idea for the matter to
be taken up by some one and works on
such and similar subjects compiled and
published by some department of the
State, for the benefit of these enuuirers
ana thousands more of interested ones.
That also reminds me of an Incl
dent OF year ago, from which l have
since heard. l one day received let
ter from an Eastport man, asking what
this department could tell him about
mustard. l was obliged to tell him that
we knew very little about mustard or
the seed in Maine, as the source of our
mustard has been Poland and England
That seemed to be the point the man
was after, because. on a recent visit to
PASSPORT I met him and he spoke of the
mustard correspondence.
He told me that it was now prac-
tically impossible to get any quantity
of mustard seed as none was coming
from Poland and the English had pro-
hibited the planting of it, needing every
inch or ground for real food stuffs and
not for appetizers He was using it in
the packing of certain kinds of sardines
and lot of it was needed in that bust
ness. He had secured a quantity and
was preparing to plant lot and ascer-
tain what could be done in raising the
seed in this country. He had as va
rieties the German Brown and the Eng
fish Yellow. His experiment will be
watched and the outcome awaited with
interest.

The State Library on Monday received
much appreciated gift. The Journal a
short time ago announced that the State
was beginning collection of the
Thanksgiving day proclamatons of the
various Governors of Maine and this rift
was in response to the request for copies.
Mrs. Anna E. Soule of Gardiner was the
donor. She said that her father, w. H.
Davenport of Hallowell, was the original
owner. having obtained it when he
worked in the State House and preserving
it carefully.
1t is the Thanksgiving day proclama-
ton issued on Oct. Is. 1880 by Gov Jona-
than G. Hunton of Portland and is one
of the special copies printed in black on
Old rose silk 1t shows it's age in some
ways, being frayed through in places
where it has been folded, but was when
new handsome piece of work A fea-
ture that seems rather strange is that it
names Thursday, Dec. 2. as the day of
in our State. The Cover
nor's signature is accompanied by that
of Sec of State Edward Russell
The text of the proclamation is longer
than is now the custom in such docu-
ments and refers to about all the prin-
cipal matters then attracting the atten-
ton of the world. such as the recent
numbling of the Ottomans and the free
