Cricaco, Dee. 10— [Special Telegram to thg B, |— The grain markets grievously felt the advance to-day of that stream of small country buying® orders which a few days ago confusced the professionals and fur- nished an important factor in the determina- tion @f future cvents. *“The country” was not on the floor to any considerable extent, either in person or by wire. The profession- als had things pretty much to themselves, and as they thought pricos ought to drop, they did drop. The only strength secn was about the opening, and the weakest spot was just aboutat the close. There was some talk in the wheat pit at the opening of ex- pected cold weather, which would injure winter wheat, and the bulls based some hopes on the expected government. crop re- port. Thereupon first transactions were at G34c for May. This was the highest price of the day.- Then came abundant selling or- ders from St. Louis, and the local talent ob- serving that the bulge which the hopeful ones had last night predicted for this morn- ing would not « immediately turncd sell- ers, and t dropped to then, after u rally of igc, dropped to 84 and after nnother advance to sbkc, dropped o StaocSisie and fuctuated for the re- mainder of the session between flzure and 8470 closing at S4J sy Janu- ary opened at 1815e, sold down Lo 7 ige, and closed at 719, @iiige.

There was quite active trading at times throughout the session, chiefly for May deliver. That future opened at 83%c, sold down to and closed at 33%c. The no particular feature to the market and scemed to be influenced cnietly by the fluctuations in corn. In provisions the slowest day for some weeks was experienced. The trading wit- nessed was wholly on local account, and the market was almost urcless. Still, a strong feeling held control, fluctuations we: confined to a small range, und at the close prices showed material change from night's flual quotation.

A California Munchausen. San Francisco Call mmy Peck had an experience Thanksgiving day at the river that he will remember for some time to come. James had read some- where of a novel way of catching chick- ens, by means of a kernel of corn and o fish-heok. So not caring to waste pow- der and shot on a seemingly countless flock of geese, he conceived the idea of going to the river and then trying a similar plan. The geese in theé river bottoms number millions, and they are slaughtered by the thousands, mevely for their feathers and the sport that got out of the hunting. Mr. Peck se- cured a log df;corn and twine, but instead of uging thohooks he punctured u hole in each kernel and tied the twine to it. After hw had laid out about five hundred of these prepared kernels, he attached the twine ends to a heavy piece of jpope, and searched for a smail ~1um|nn~§£a cthing to tie_the rope to, but whe @ had set his novel trap there wasnothing but a dreary waste of sand. Sohetaccordingly tied the rope about his edy conceated himseif in a pile of driftwood.
