Throughout the summer months the volume of business was light, but during the fall and carly winter months there was quite a revival of trade in the leading cereals and speculative articles in provisions, Crops triputary to the Chicago market were quite good in yield and quality, and, with increased railroad and elevator fa- cilities, country shippers have been induced to forward & good portion to our market.

R Ut ) A BNOW STORM COMING. The Beautiful Already Beginning to Fall in the Northwest. St1. Pavy, Dec. 30.—Within the last twenty- four hours the temperature has risen throughout the northwest. - In some sections there was a change of thirty-aight - degrees. A driving snow storm set in here at 10 a. m. andis still raging. The indication officer says the storm was central in Nebraska this afternoon, and was moving eastward Afty miles an hour, the snow belt_extending from Calgary, N. W.'T\, to St. Louis. By to-morrow morning the storm will reach the Ohio val- ley and will be felt in the extreme east by to-morrow night, A heavy snow is indicated 4, 'Dakota, “Wisconsin, lowa, aska, Tllinois and northern Int 1t will cease here by to- morrow night and be followed by a' cold wave. The snow has has drifted heavily and trains are delayed all over the north- wost. 1o this question 4t which T haye been looking. 1 cannot understand why Hill should want the convention to, go to. New vork. He is understood fo be ambitious polit- ically. In Now York he is very well known, and as to the governor of the state he will be at the head of the New York delegation. In the convention. there he will merely figure as the head of the New York delegation. If the convention came to Chicago he could have in view the possibilitics of 1892, He would have a far better opportunity of bring- ing himself fito public notice and of forming acquaintances and making friendships which might have a potent influence on his future career. I think that having the convention in Chicago woull_serve him ' much better than havingitin New York. F am afraid, howover, that the impression s too well founded that Cleveland’s Washington friends want the convention to go to New York and that their influcnce willbe sufficient to take it there. The Chicago committee, however, will go on with the work and do thie best they can under the cireumstances." Ve lou THE SANTA FE AT ST. JOE.

While prices of leading articles have not been quite us remunerative to pro- ducers and shippers s during the year previ- ous, yet, taking intogconsideration all the surroundings of trade, few complaints need made. Receipts of flour, wheat, oats, barley, broom corn, cured ments, dressed boef, ' beef, pork, 'cheese, cattle, sheep, hides, coal and lumber, all exhibit a de- crease, while thoso of corn, rye, grass seeds, flax_seed, canned, meats, ‘lard, but- ter, dressed hogs, live hogs, wool, shingles and salts show a decrease.

Mr. Zarate 1s o native of the City of Mexico, and @ very interesting, scholarly courteous gentleman. For ten years ho has been a wanager of amusements in Mexico, and is now engaged in a similar capacity in the United States, with the view of estab- lishing a mutual interest in this line between the two countries. He tells much that is of interest about the City of Mexico, which, he says, reminds one much of Paris in ‘the gavety of its amusements and hundreds of other things. ‘There is a colony of Ameri- cans there now that is becoming vastly popu- lar: they are representatives of our best peo- ple, intolligent, sociablo and enterprising, and are gaining much headway i commercial matters.

Omam, Dec. 80.—To the Sporting Editor of the Bee: The charge made by “Old Sport,” the anonymous writer of a letter published by you yesterday, that I was & self-appointed referee at the recent sparring exhibition given av Boyd's, is entirely false. The middle- weight championship medal was sent to Mr., Crawford, of the Chronicle, by Richard K. Fox, and Mr, Crawford was instructed to ap- point a referee and timekeeper, He appointed me and I accepted it. **Old Sport” undoubt- edly charges me with unfairness. I will ‘wager him §100 that the majority of the mem- bers of the press present last Wednesday night will say that my decisions were just. My record as referee and patron of sports has alays been above reproach, and my fairness has never before been questioned, “Old Sport,” who claims to have witnessed all the prominent sparring matches for the past thirty years, does not seem to be aware of the fact that in sparring for points & slap with the open hand can not count. The hand must be closed and the blow given with the face of the glove. Mr. Hennessy did nothing but Sport” will kindly step down to my house I will give him a few instructions iu the mauly art.
