fixed for wheat
There was a big trade in oats and the prIc-
paid was 7 cent, over the September. While
this Tan was strong. showing advances Of =
to ! cent, it failed to keep up with the advance
in corn.

liberal scale.
There was a hrmer market for provisions and
the Volume Of trade showed a steady advance.

of This CITY.

Everybody is primed for the rush Of
votes which are to decide the offer

vote" period October /, at 10 o'clock.
The member polling the most votes
on new subscriptions between Septen-
