CniCAoo , April 21. [ Special Telegram
to the Br.K.1 The temperature of the wheat
pit was less feverish to-dny tlmn for the past
week. There appeared to bo but llttlo tradIng -
Ing for outside account and the local clement ,
left to Itself , kept within close bounds , as Is
Its custom of Saturday. The market had
closed weak last night , and opened about Jfc
lower this morning , and soon declined from
} { c to Comoro under offerings of holders
who feared the drop would go still further.
At the decline , however , thcro was good buy
ing , local talent evidently working for a re-
notion , and it came. But at the top thcro was
nobody to take wheat at the price , nnd the
scalpers , In their efforts to .oven up over
Sunday , sold the market down again , until
about-half the early advance was lost. The
holders of wheat and the wheatbcnrshad but
ono Incentive to sell to-day , and' that
was found in largcfr receipts of wheat
In the northwest , where the movement had
been expected to case up a llttlo by this time.
But thcro Is no casing up In 188,000 bushels
of wheat in ono day at Minneapolis. Exports
wcro better to'-doy but are still small. It is
expected that the visible supply statement
will show n decrease of from 400,000 to
600,000 bushels. The bullish Influences wore
rather better cables , tallc that former wheat
bears had gone over to the ether side and
wcro buying for a rise , and crop news. This
last , as far us the winter wheat bolt Is con
cerned , \locs not change much In character ,
but It gathers intensity from day to day.
Nearly all , if not all , the commission houses
have reports of great damage to vyintcr
wheat and general newspapers are printing
reports of that kind , by the column. The
wheat bears think that all this damage lias
been discounted , and has had its result in
the advance in prices already gained. An
other kind of crop nowB , however , is only
now becoming Important , and that is from the
spring wheat seeding in the northwestwhich
reports now indicate will bo considerably de
creased in amount on account of the lateness
of the season. As nn offset to big receipts of
grain in the northwest , the report of a repre
sentative of a largo harvester manufacturer
of this state was given. Ho said that their
eighty-four agents through Nebraska , Mm-
.ncsotn and Dakota reported the amount of
wheat now remaining iu farmers' hands less
than they had over known at this season.
Seeding was also much later than last year.
May wheat opened at 81'tfc , sold down to
fcOJfe , by the ofllciul quotations , but transac
tions must hnvo been small at that flgurc , as
most traders gave 80c as the low price ,
then advanced to 81J e , fell to Sltfe , sold up
81c , then down to and closed nt 8lM < tf.81 ? c.
Juno wheat opened at 8'2 c , sold at blc , up
to S2 c , back to and closing at 82 ? @ 82xc.
Largo receipts nnd the increased proportion
tion of corn of contract grade wcro the weak
ening factors In the corn market this morn
ing , particularly in the May delivery , whicl :
opened just lo under yesterday's closing
price. This was the bottom price for the
ilay , however , as strong parties wcro taking
nil that was offered at that figure. From
i Sjiij'c higher , however , the market ruled
quite steady for BOOIO time. The Rolling did
not appear to bo for short account so much
ns by tlio longs , who in a slowly dropping
market despaired of doing better. That it
was not short soiling was seen when two
local scalpers bid the price of May corn up
from M o to 5r J c without getting much
grain. In trying to sell what they did get ,
howeucr , they ran the price down 5 < c quite
as quick as they hud put it up but found no
buyers on the way down. In the casli
market , thcro was a good demand for con :
f. o. b. and for lower prudes in store. May
corn opened at &lc , advanced to 54Kc and
fluctuated between that price and 54 } < c for
some tiirc , then advanced to 55 c , dropped
to 5-lKo and closed nt 53c. Juno corn
opened at Me , sold down toKJifc , up to 54-tfc.
nnd closed at Mc.
The speculative trade in oats was quiet
with u very slight change in prices. May
outs opened and closed at 31 Jfc , soiling down
at ono time to Ul3le. Juno oats opened
atai c , sold atBlKc , up to and closing at
Uljjfc. July oats opened and closed at Ulc ,
ranging from | that price to 3lJ < c. Augus'
oats ranged from 2S ) < c to SS tfc , opening uni
closing at former prices.
Provisions claimed considerable attention
Lard , however , again led in interest and a&
tivity.though short ribs were traded in quite
freely , and pork was by no moans neglected.
The hitter article was also well held nnd at
the adjournment showed n decline of "i @ 5c
from hist night's flunl prices. Short ribs
were confined to narrow limits in their fluc
tuations and rested unchanged to u shade
lower. In lard the buiyng of English houses
was the feature of the trade. Tlioy bought
ou bulges and breaks , and with a good follow
ing of shorts covering they controlled the
market. The day's actual advance iu lard

Thu Condition ol'Trade.
Affairs in commercial circles , which have
not been in us good condition as could have
been wished for , for some time past are once
moro assuming their wonted aspect , and
trade was novcr better than at present ,
while future prospects never wcro brighter ,
Grocers report a growing business and
note a gratifying increase both in the number
of country orders received and the quantity
of goods hold. Prices have remained uni
formly steady for the past week , with nno
exception , Jurd advancing K CCI > 1 yesterday.
Outuido tills but littlu change is noted.
Thu dry poods trade It * in a flourishing
condition , with heavy sales und steady
prices , excepting cotton poocla , en which the
tendency of prices is downward , and dealers
who anticipate icplunlhlilng their stock
would do well to hcsitiiuas it wcro , foi
Ubout a weuk longer , when a yory grat
ifying cuuu < 'o is lUurust suit ) to occur. .
The leading grades of indigo prints are nlso
declining , Arnold having went off one-half
cent per yard.
The boot nnd shoo trndo Is very healthy for
this season of the year , and the amount of
goods sold is by ono dealer estimated to ox-
cccd that of lost year by nt least 15 per cent.
General merchandise li steady , generally
speaking. A change in rates had n tendency
lo advance the price of lumber somewhat ,
but notwithstanding , trndo is very good when
the amount of buildings In progress Is con *
sldcrcd , The bricklayers' strike has had
much to do In retarding work , hcnco thcro is
not the demand there otherwise would bo.
Hides nro quiet but firm nt prices nbout
steady with those of thirty days ago. Furs
nro dull , with but few handled. Leather is
growing slightly moro active , with very few
changes.
The retail houses , in the city are nil doing n
thriving business , nnd moro especially cloth
ing morclmntsdry goods nnd grocery houses ,
which nro disposing dally of enormous quan
tities of stock.
Produce commission men report trade ns
more nctlvo with some lines falling in price ,
while the tendency of the market on others
is higher. Garden stock , which has been im
ported from southern points for pome tlmo ,
is becoming moro plentiful , aud rates nro
consequently lower. Butter , which has been
selling for very high prices , will probably
recede as grass comes onaud parties holding
choice creamery for higher prices would do
well not to retain it too.long. Foreign fruits
nro declining , the market being heavily sup
plied.

REV. N. B. TnoMrsoN gives In the Pythian
Knight n very complete endorsement ot
Pythinnlsm. Among other things , Mf.
Thompson says :
"Lot mo ay to some of you good pcoplo.
who have almost prayed that your husband
son or brotlicr might talk In their sleep , or an
you hnvo carefully folded nwny their gaudy
uniform , , looked , If perchance some llttlo )
clue to what they keep from you In secrecy
might bo known , no matter what they tell
you the ledge consists of , how long it 1
needful for thorn to stay away once n wcolf.
or how often , lot mo assure you the true
purpose of the ledge is not n cloak to cover a
multitude of sins. I don't want to cnusd
family eruption by tolling you how soon
they might como homo when they go to the
lodge , but I do wont to toll you , your hus
band or son , if they follow out the prlnci *
pies there enjoined Upon them , they will 1)0
all the better for It ,
"If you good houBo-wivcs have tired of the
response , "oh , I have been to the ledge , "
when some of those knightly gentlemen havd
forgotten themselves aud homo , nnd hnvil
crept In cautiously for fear of waking you.or
disturbing the children , or hung their hate
over the face of the clock , lest its loud tickIng -
Ing should disturb you in your dreams , don't
say , "I wish there wasn't n ledge in tha
world , " for I tell you it Is n good institution ,
nnd ono I cndorso next to the church , nnd
any true knight Is because of It a better bus-
band nud son.
"Do you ask mo how much I endorse Pyth-
ianlsm , I reply with fill the power there is in
me. If these before mo are true men and
knights , they will do ns best they may to help
the ncody , nnd show mo what orders does
moro ; the church of God Unas Its grand mis
sion in the samo. Commend this order , yc9
because every such man , nud there are over
200,000 in this country , before ho can enter
our mystical circle , sit in our halls , wear tha
insignia of n knight , must claim to bu a m'aii
of good moral character und believe in the

THE OIIANH LODGE Knights nnd Ladles of
Honor of California met last week in San
Francisco. Siuco the session held last year
n largo increase in the membership in this
Jurisdiction is noted , whllo the increnso in
the order at largo has been great and be
yond the most sangulno expectations. Thcro
are now seventeen lodges in the stato. ot
wUich number , twelve are located In Ban ,
Francisco. Thcro are over 50,000 member ?
belonging to the order In general , with ntJ
least 1,800 subordinate lodges nnd fourtc.cn
grand Iddgcs , distributed In nearly every
state , and since the date of organization la
1878 over $3,000,000 has been paid ns boncllta
to beneficiaries of 'deceased members.

THE DETEUMINATIOX of the Order of .For
esters In tlio United States to exclude negroes
from membership , nud the equal dotcrinlnaT
tion of the high court of England that no
such discrimination shall impair the univer
sality of tlio order , is likely to bring on a
crisis , says tlio Baltimore Telegram. A few ?
colored men of Chicago have been carefully
preparing- bring tup question of their ex
clusion to an issue. Of course they expect
to bo refused , for it has boon expressly pro
vided in tlio general laws of the order that
"white males" shall bo
only eligible to ad
mission. On being refused , the applicants
will tit once appeal to the high Court of Eng
land. Tlio result of such an appeal is not in
the least doubtful , for the English high
court has already considered and determined ,
the question of color with reference to ad
mission to the order. Probably the questjod
of negro membership was never brought to
tlio general attention of the order until the
subsidiary high court meeting at St. Louis ,
in 1879. The New Light Ledge of New Or
leans sent u delegate to this meeting. Ilia
credentials wcro attacked at once on tho/
ground of his color. Tha sumo opposition
was renewed at the meeting Iu Now York >
in 18SO. The sentiment against negro mem
bership has widened aud deepened , until now
an open revolt is fully determined upon as
soon us the question is forced to the Issue ,
Tun OUAND commnndory of Knights Tcm
plar of Texas convened in El Puso April 18.
On the morning of tlio 20th the conclave

JOHN II. COI.TOX , tlio grand chancellor of
Pennsylvania , the suspended Pythian Juris
diction , is yet in tlio Inud of the living. Mr ,
Colton is proceeding ou ills way with remark *
able cheerfulness. Mr. Colton Is now en
deavoring to Increase the membership of the
suspended jurisdiction by attracting new
members to tlio order. To this end Mr. Colton -
ton has talten what is considered in some
quarters a bold step by issuing the following
circular :
Frequent inquiries have , of late , boon made
concerning the right of dispensations to
lodges to sot aside altogether the require
ments of their by-laws in regard to fees for
conferring ranks. The constitution of sub
ordinate lodges ( Art. XII , Sec. 2 , ) directs
Unit "tho fees for conferring the several
ranks of the order shall bo such as are pro
scribed in the by-laws of the ledge , but shall
not bo less than ? 10 for the three ranks , ox-
ccnt by virtue of a dispensation duly ( -ranted.
Hoforo the adoption of the constitution of
] Sb4 a dispensation could not bu granted to
bet iiKldo altogether the fees for conferring
the ranks of the order , so as to luave in op
tional witli u lodge to charge much , llttlo or
nothing as the judgment of it members
might direct.
Ordinarily , lodges still limit their requests
to dispensations to confer the three ranks foe
not less than tfi , whh-li dispensations tire
granted whenever duly applied for.
Formerly this minimum charge was neces
sary , bccauKO the grand lodge constitution of
178 limited llio authority of the grand chan
cellor in this respect to tlio grunting of spe
cial dispensation ) ) , "authorized by supreme
ledge law ; " but iu the ptvbcnt constitution
of tno grrnd lodge , unanimously adopted In
August , IVvl , tins restriction was stricken
out , and tlio grand chancellor Is now directed
to grant dispensations to subordinate lodges
"to set aside temporarily any requirement of
the bylawsvlioro tholicco.sslty of the lodge ,
ns represented by an olllcliil statement , thuro-
from , justifies it , the request thorotor having
been made by n two-thirds veto of the mem
bers voting. ( Constitution Grand LodgeArt ,
HI. See. a. )
Upon such a request , so made , the mandate
of the constitution to the grand chancellor
s imperative ; ho "ahull pnuit" It , ,

"When I btiy I luivo never loved till
now , " ho fciiid , "it is not an empty
word. My lips have never touched the
lips of any woman except my mother's ;
