$- 1 4 Jfe.' WHEAT CLOSES FIRM, MAY AT 801-2C, DEC 79 1-4GagainOTHEGRAIN, Some Week-End Selling: Develops, but All Offerings Are Readily Absorbed. Manitoba Reports Less Favorable Receipts in Southwest Are Larger. More Talk of Big Reoeipts on Mon day, but Traders Inclined to Ignore It. Minneapolis Chamber of Cemmwea. Nov. 28 Wheat closed the week for May, after selling up to 807 early business There was the usual week end selling: out. but so far from breaking the market, it was without effect at all. new buying coming in to absorb it. There was also the usual Saturday talk of big re ceipts on Monday, but no one paid much attention to it Big receipts may come, but the disposition now is to wait for them to materialize before taking fright. Chi cago wired that the disappointing cable* operated to check bull enthusiasm in wheat, but the crowd was afraid Armour might go in a n* buy another crop. The opening was a shade easier. Receipts for the week in Chicago were 700,000 bu more than the shipment* The crowd In Chi cago all has a little wheat and unless there is support they are liable to let go, yet it is an Armour market. This was the early Chicago view of it. A little later Valentine was buying freely and in Mil waukee 15 C "Wall, president of the Mil waukee board was said to be a purchaser of May, and thi* suggested good buying. Advices were of improving weather in Argentine, and that damage to wheat has been slight. Manitoba .sent a little bull news regard ing the crop across the line, and grain men on the floor from Winnipeg confirmed the reports in good part. A considerable part of the Canadian wheat is running muoh poorer than expected. Primary receipts were 1.331,000 bu against 1,150,000, and hipments 489.000 against 626,000.

New York Mail and Express, "Did you ever hear the expression 'two bits' used as an equivalent for a quarter of a dollar?" asked a New Yorker "The term is commonly used in the south and west, and one frequently hears it in New York. Not one person in a thousand, e-ren of those who habitually use the term* knows its origin. "Erep as late as the close ot the eighteenth century the silver coinage of the United States had not superseded the Spanish 'milled' dollar in the west and south Fractional currency was particularly warce. and to obtain this the Spanish 'milled' dollar was cut up to make change. Halves and quarters, of course, sug gested their own names but when the qaarfer was cut In two the word 'eighth' was discarded for 'bit,' a small slug having the value of 12% cents. Many curio collectors have these slugs in their possession, altho. of course, they have long since gone out of use as currency. "So with 'thrip.' used in New Oileans and the Ticlnity as an equivalent for the nickel 01 5-cent piece. 'Thrip' is merelv an abbreviation or "three pence.' the, coin of that value once in general nse. representing about the same amount of money as a 5 cent piece." r80|'ic-.

There was no quotablt change, however, in prices, and closing quota* tions were steady with the decline of Wednes day. The dealers experienced a very slow trade early in the * week, but latterly a tair clean-up has been effected. There was nothing strictly good in the feeder line offered, and tha best of the supply changed hands at $3ffi3.40 with the bulk of the fair grades from $2,303 2 75. As high as $3@3.40 was paid for year lings, but the larger share of the -week's supply sold from $2.25(6,2.75. Common steers of all \veights were very hard sellers at $2@2.25. The demand for good stock heifers showed im provement and as high as $2.65 was paid fof the best, with the sommon to fairly good beif eis from $1.50@2.30. Bulls were lower with othei grades, and sales were made on orders at $1 73.2.2 The marketing of killing cattle has not been sufficient to fill the local demand and bujera have bought up the supply eagerly each day. The market has shown very little change front last week's closing quotations, altho selleri thought there was an easier feeling in the trade on Wednesday in oympathy with decline at other points thiu the week. There has been nothing of a very good nature marketed either in Steers or cow stuff The few steers were of the w armed-up sort, selling from $3.30 to $4 35. The best of the butcher stock sold from $2.50 to $2 75 with a few odd head at $3. The bulk of the fair cows and heifers sold at $2.10 to $2.25, with canners from $1.50 to $2. HogsThe marketing of hogs was liberal and while receipts show a falling off from last week there were 1,50 more than were on sale for the corresponding period of last year. The market nl this and other points has continued on tba downward grade and with slight reactions closes at the low point, or 25c lower than the lose of last week Packers are eager buvers ats thi market, and prices are relatively higher than ia Chicago- The ouality is S Sheep. 3,707 2.304 4,621 11,616 4,881 1,023 10,162 Railroads entering the yards reported lecoipts for the day by loads as follows: Chicago Great Western. 4.
