THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, | Free Delivery of Cash Wheat Causes | a Weak Ope: ing. CASHCORN LETHARGIC AND EASY The New Month Opens Quiet in the sion Pit — Prime Choice Eearoe, CHICAGO PRRODUC 5 MARKETS, Cnicaco, Dee. 2. -[Special Telegram to Tur Bee,)—~The wheat market had a weak opening as a consequence of the freo deliv- y of cash wheat on December contracts. be quantity sent out was a first estimated AL 2,000,000 bushels, but it was subsequently placed at 800,000 to 1,000,000 bushels. Ar- mour, instead of delivering 1,000,000 bushels, as reported early, only delivered 200,000 or 00,000 bustiels. The remainder came from Counsclman,,Vaa Kirk, Parker, Raymond, Seaverns aud the other rogular carriers. The first effect was a sudden sagging in the price of December, which opened at T87c and broke to 78%c. May opened at S4c and only got to Siij@Sd4c. The difference be- tween the two months therefore widened to blg@dpige. This was not for long, however, a8 & good demand sprung up for December, In fact, there was a demand for property in ail positions, and after a slump in Decemver, Which was the notable feature early in the day, firmness was the distinguishing charac. teristic of the market. The way in which December recovered after the poundingsit received showed that carriers were alert and that commission bouses hada good many scattering orders for wheat for tue account of parties who are not afraid of work with actual property and feel that wheat is cheap avthe prices, December advauced sharply from 7 and tor the last hall of the ses- sion tho price was 70¢ and above. The top price reached was 7i(c and the close was i0lkc. Muy swung between S3%c and Stc and 847 @Sty and closed at S4lje. Com- pured with Saturday the flual range records a very slight improvement on long futures, Cables were firm and an advance in some nstances was uoted, the spot market being especially strong. Tho receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were large, but the talling off in the Northwestern move certainly at hand, 1t is already here. feeling of relief was experienced, consequent upon the adjustment of December trades, and the market acted as though it had been freed from an incubus. A large business 'was done in December and 1n the whole list of futures during the session, ‘The corn market was lethargic and easy at the cash end of the deal, evidently a re- action from the unnatural activity at the close of the preceding week. For this month’s delivery there were a good many buying orders and the price ruled firm av an advance of from lge to ¢ over Saturday’s closing quotation. January also was firm, the mild weather stimulating the demand for near deliveries. Muy was quiet and very steady in price, The closing quotations show slight gains all around, and were as follows: December 33%@33ge; January Ble ana May #815@38%c, againsy #11, @313¢, B0de and 331 @SSlie respecuvely ut the close of the market Saturday. Oats ettracted moderate uttention on tho part of speculators, ruling steady to 4 @!{c higher. Offerings were not heavy and tnere was a wild inqu for December, usually attributed to the shorts, with May continu- ing 8 a favorite future, selling chiefly at @2 together. December touched 20%oc, or Xc advance, though the general market was 201c, with No. 2 to go to store stronger at 2015@20}¢c. The posted receipts and shipments were not great and the esti- mate for tomorrow only moderate. The closing strength was due to a fair decrease in the visible supply. The new month opened a little quiet in rovisions, From the opening this morning usiness showed a disposition to drag. The small decline i pork early brought out a good wany buyers, but a speedy reaction prevented anything like free purchases Lard and short ribs were practically fea- tureiess. Packers were slow scllers of the product aud professionals rather controlled the market. Aside from some pork there were no deliveries to speak of on December contracts. Price changes during the day were unimportant. Compared with Satur- day the closings were unchanged for Janu- ary pork, May short ribs and all futures of lard. Junuary short ribs dechned be and May pork advanced be. CHICAGO E STOCK. Cnicaco, Dee. 2. pecial Telogram to Tue Bee.]—-CAtrLE—Prime and choice na- tive steers were scarce and sold.at strong prices, in some cases o shade stronger than at the close on Friday. On the other hand, the pens were crowded full of a class of na- tives that were neither one thing or the other—neither lean nor fat—and just the class of stock nobody wanted, hence a slow and unsatisfactory trade in such from the opening to the close. The roceipts of Tex- ans were light and largely owned by sluughterers, yet this . fact had no effect on native butchers' stock, a8 there were *oceaus” of the same, 8o to speak, The stocker and feeder trade showed no particulur change in prices on Jight stock, Choice toextra lw« ves, §4.80(15,15; medinm to good stecrs, 0 1bs, $4.00(@ 1,605 950 'to 1200 1bs, fecaers, $1.00@ 1. 2000 3 bulk, "Texas steers, §2.25w2.85; 'cows, Stockers and Wi n, bulls and mixed, 20, —Business was orisk at tho ovening, lmost everything selling at the one price of £1.70, but later ou sud at the close speculat- ors or commission men that liad stock left could not got over $3.60@3,65, bid from buy- ers for rmker-. and at that range the market closed for packers and fair to good heavy.

Rumors of probable fail- ures added to the intensity of the feeling. After the shaky condition of tho market on Saturday there were no outspoken bulls on the streots orab the resorts. The dispatches which went abroad were expected to bring lower London figures this morning, The at- titude of Mr. Gould was anxiously regarded. It was given out flatly that he had an un- derstauding with the bears and wanted lower prices. This was bluntly denied and 1t was clearly shown that he has increased his holdings in Missouri Pacitic on every concession, As w Western Union, holders outside of Gould and Sage were con- sidered rosponsible, as many no doubt suf- fered by the action in trustsand were forced to realize on their holdings, lavestors and bankers have ¢abooed trust shares generally, It is expected that they will be kuocked about by the trade. The ounly place where bull sentiment was found early was n com- mission houses, whera advices were to buy rathior than sell. The market opened with cousiderable excitement, while first prices, 48 compared with Saturday's flaal figures, were generally only from 1§ to % per cent lower. Sugar was down 23, Cotton Ol 3}, Jersey Central and Denver, Texas and Fort Worth, 2 per cent. Chicago Gas 13§ snd Tennessee Coal 1 per cent. There was great pressure to sell in early dealings, but considerable support was accorded the market and further de- clines in the regular list were confined to swmall fractions generally, the only noted ex- ception amoug the usually active stocks being Burlington, which declined 13 per cent, Tennessee Coal, however, lost i, Clesapeake & Ohio 1§ and Cleveland. Ciu- onat, Chicago & St. Lows 13, The de- mand for stocks soon checked the downward movement and prices were quickly brought | from 614 to ¢ | st up to something above the epening figures, { Cotton Oil being the most prominent in the | advance, Clevelund, Cincinnati, (lnvwo & Louis also made a full recovery. Toward the end of the hour thero was le: mllmnlmn, and some reaction from the best figures oc jurred. The hour to 12 o'clock was warked by a protty firm market and further gains in many stocks. Northern Pacific preferred recovered from 72! i, Burlington from 102 to 103, Northwostern to 1095, Missouri Pacific from 66% 10 67 and Union Pacific Tennessco Coal made a further break to 68 ana recovered to 71, fing did not_recover, but_dropped to Chicago Gas found good support at § and moved up before noon to 83, or | per cent over the close of Saturda; Sugar, recovery froin 56 to i, weut off again 4 The following were the closing quotations : ilar 28 Northern Pacific oferred.

G RL LIFE IN PERSIA, The Luxurious Prison—Home of Lit} tle Fathimeh, Her eyes are as black as aloes—ol course they are all black for blue eyes are considered unlucky in Persia; her skin is a rich, warm delicate brown that overlays the round, plump feature tinged with a tint of rose where the dimples are or should be; the sitky huir that erowns the head of the little girl baby who was born but yesterday in that quiet dwelling at the foot of Mt. Elborz is darkas the plume of the raven. The Mallah or priest has already been to the house, and in the presence of her father has turned over the leaves of the Koran, or Mohametan Scriptures, and hit on the name of Kathimeh, the daughter of Mahomet the Prophet, so Fathimeh is to be the name of the n, born babe. She is a Persian and in Persia she will live, for it is only with the special )Jul'lmmum of the shah that a Persian woman cau live out of her na- tive land. Whiie still a child littie Fathimeh sits in the gate and sometimes play: with the boys of the ncighborhood and thus, perhups, forms & passing acquain- tance with her future husband. If her parents were peasants, she would company them to the fields and aid in picking the fruit or gleaning the har- st. But as her folks are well-to-do city folk of some means, she is soon taught that her destiny is to be a life almost as secluded us that of a nunnery, Her days are to be passed within the seclusion of the anderoom or woman's quarter of the house where she reside: whether it be her father’s or her hus- band’s anderoom. If the former, by tho time Fathimeh 1s nine years old her days are passed in apartments where her only society is that of her mothel sistors and brothers und female slaves of the household. Oceasionally other little girls pay her a formal visit, and they pass the alternoon ecating eucumbers and confoc- tionary to a degree thut would speedily kill off most samerican cidldven, In Persia those who are unable to bear such irregular diet die eurly; the sur- vivors become so hurdened’ that they are able to endure anything, This is i simple way of avoiding the necessity of heavy doctor’s bills,which is perhaps an advantage in the country whero the physicians ave the most barefaced quiscks, If Fathimeh’s father has several wives, which is greatly to be feared is the case, then she has also her half brothers and sisters us playmates, and a merry time they have of it. The und voom'is entirely sep: from the rest of the establishment within an inc! ure of its own, and each wife, with her family, occupies a distinet portion of the underoom. It is built around a square courtyard surrounded by high walls so that no one may look into1t, nor is any neighboring house ;n-rmuwd 10 open into an anderoom court, wheth- er from the roof or from windows, Nor are there any windows in the anderoom itself that face the strecw. Thus you see that the anderoom and its courtyard are entirely shut out from the worl However, these quarters are h_y no means as dreary as one might imagine, for the tourt is laid out with parterres filled with an extraordinary profusion of flowers, chiefly roses, asters, pinks, lavender, oleander and murigolds, [y is densely shaded also with lindens, china trées, poplarvs, plane trees and pomegranate trees, the latter a most exquisite where addition to overy garden it grows, with its bright-green. glossy loaves, its lovely flame-colore blossoms and rich red globes of fruit. Hidden in bulbul or nightingale warbles 118 on- chanting strains not only during the still watches of the moonlit night, but often during the hush of drowsy suus mer day. In the ecenter there an immense tank into which the water often runs for hours with a grateful music, being afterwards drawn off to irrigate the rden, But it is never empty, and avound its brim 1k ch laren pMy, and doves alight to strut and coo, while the ducks float on the surfees, Around the courtyard are arranged the various apartmeuts of the anderoon, y more (h:ln one story and huvin flav roof; y are protected from the s 1 \um | rond verandas suppor s ul milars, and anothes tank is in the center of thesveranda, writes ex- Minister Benjamin in the Baltimore News. When visitors call, fountains in the middle of these tanks toss the ver spray and give a delicious cooiness to the air To) Reat's ¢ to Weekly: Customer—I am "lease.
