Chicago Grain and Provision.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.--Corn prices went up
with rush today. stimulated by notice
that quotations wheat in Canada had
been suddenly elevated soc bushel The
close here in the corn market was firm,
l 1ac to 214c net higher with January,
$1.SOS to 1871 and May, $1.2s% to $1.2s$.
Oats gained &c to csc. In provisions
the outcome varied from 22c decline to
Acc advance.
For brief time before 1t was generally
known that the Canadian government had
given big lift to wheat values, the corn
market here was inclined to sag. During
the rest of the day however, except shortly
after midday, the bulls were in control. The
late show of weakness. like the earlier
one, proved to be only transient and was
ascribed to a sharp advance in call money.
Support developed on the break, and left
the market in the end at virtually the
topmost point of the day. Some talk of
export demand for corn was heard.
Oats displayed Independent strength as
result of heavy buying on the part of
houses with seaboard connections.
Provisions as well a. grain were bulish-
ly affected by the hosting of Canadian
prices on wheat. The lard market, though,
failed TO hold.

We are both Young girls and haya
lots OF friends. The other evening two
Young men took US to a supper dance.
While there a young man, who used
10 go about with my girl friend a
great deal. Joined the party. He asked
to SEE her home and she consented
An argument followed. as the young
man who took her TO the dance in
sisted that he should take her home.
Now. Miss Fairfax, which do you
think was in the wrong-my girl
friend or the young men
ETHEL
Your girl friend was certainly in
the wrong about this matter, as it is
always proper for the young man who
takes a young lady out to see her
home.
