Chicago Dally New* Letter Chicago, 111., December 14.—The weak feeling in the wheat market which prevailed at the close last night, was continued this morning, and the opening prices were H to %c lower. Cables were dull and lower, and receipts in the Northwest were still larger than last year’s. The only support apparent were the buyers against puts, and they had little effect. The market continued weak until 58V-C was reached, catching considerable "stop loss” orders, and after they were all fllled. a reaction set In caused principally by the good clearances from the seaboard, fully 450.000 bushels wheat ami flour. New York reported 14 loads taken for export, but their market was weak also. The trading was rather light, with very few features, the market remaining fi Corn opened easy and a shade lower, the weatner being the principal factor, it being dear and mild all over the country to-day.

The idea meeting with approval, it was acted upon. Not liking to pattern after something Which had preceded, it was resolved to look to Pletish history for suggestions, and after the assembly had fully posted Itself on Pictlsh and Scottish history, G. Henri Bogart wrote an initiatory ceremony, which-was first tried on the city marshal. He lived through K and others

Meanwhile It had rapidly increased in member-, ship and inftoence, and to-day It is one of the institutions of this part of the Stfte.
