- THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat Starts in at an Improve- ment but Fuils to Hold. DECEMBER CORN RULES STRONG Oats Dall and Neglected—Provisions Btand About the Same as on Sat- urday-—Cattle Slow—Hogs Com- paratively Active, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnitcaao, Dec. 16.—[Special Telegram to Tur Ber.|—~Wheat started up today and mado a gain of }gc, but the market dia not hold at the improvement. On theother con- trary, 1t got decidedly weak during the last half of the session und the bulls were dis- heartened at the end of the day., May started in at $2¢o, sold off to 8235c and ad- vanced to 827¢c, selling off, however, to 821§ @824c and closing heavy at S24@S2%c. December opened at 773ge, ranged down to 77¢ and closed at the botto opened at 781gc, ranged at 7515G closed at 7i%c. The widening of the diffor- ence between cash and May wheat, which a minor feature of the day's trading, was due in a great part to the circulation of a revamped version of the story of a com- bine among the elevators for the purpose of ralsing storage rates on grain from ¢ to 1o for firat storage and from !{c to ¥{o for sub- soquont ten-day cyoles. There is nothing new In this veport, but it would seem that there has beon renewed ac- tivity in the negouations between warehouse proprietors recently. But for one or twb free lances a better under- standing between warchouse men would havo been arrived at long ago. As it is, the {roe lances appear to be as untamable now as over, and until all parties are brought into accord the proposed deal stands a poor show of going through. The way the watter now stands, thare is no settled or uniform rate. Trading was largely local in its character, New York and the northwest were good buyers early, but the “local talent’, domin- ated. Theaggregate volume of business was rather below the average. December delivery in corn was strong and advanced from 823{¢ at the opening to 33!¢c and remained firm for a considerable period at 33¢, at which price also the bulk of the cash offerings of the duy changed hands, There were liberal offers at and over 83c and later at 827¢c und even lower by an operator who is credited with having control of stocks of contract corn in store. ‘I'he May delivery was inactive and easier, and oven Jan- uary was but slightly affected by tho early strength of the present month. _I'he general feeling at tho close of the market was easy, and December closed with sellers y January 81@31i{c, and May 831¢i ‘which was about 1-16¢ lower all around than Saturday. The damp weather was a stimulus to the buying of De- cember, and increased receipts here and the very neavy arrivals, amountihg to 641,000 bushelz at St. Louis, pulled ia_tho other di- rection. The decrense of 447,000 bushels in the visible supply was not influentinl on either side. Oats weroe dull and neglected on specu- lative account, with light trading in May at 23{(@227%c, indicating u steady tone. The néar months were unchanged, with 203c paid for December. There was some effort to change January to February atabout ¥ difference. The receipts exceeded the esti- mate by 68 cars, and trading in cash oats was confined to samples, with No. 3 regular at about 20}¢c. A small decrease in the visible supply of 41,384 bushels exerted no infiuence on the market. In provisioas the situation was pretty much the same as it stood on Saturday. Some disposition was shown to bear pork and of May short ribs there was rather free selling by Hutchinson ana Cuaahy, The day’s trading, however, was not regarded as possessing any marked significance, though from the start the market exhibited a tend- ency to seek a hittle lower level Still the actual changes in prices were confined to comparatively small limits. For the active deliveries, January and May, pork closed last night 5c, lard 2}4@>5c and short ribs 2i¢c under Saturduy t quotations, CH1CAGO LIVE STOOK. Cmioago, Dec. 16.—[Special Telegram to Tae Bee.] -Carrie—Business was slow and prices about the same as on Friday and Sat- urday. Among thearrivals were about 10,000 Texans, the property of Swift & Morris, hence but few are on the market. Native butchers’ stock, especially good cows and heifers, sold from steady to & shade stronger. Thors were but light arrivals of stockers and feeders, hence but a limited business was done.

NEw Yorx, Dec. 16.—|Special Telegram to Tus Bee |—Srocks—There was less than the usual amount of interest shown on the streot and 1o stock circles over Saturday night and Sunday, and the brisk opening of the stock market this morning was, there- fore, a pleasing surprise. At first the tend- ency of the market was shown at the open- ing, when most of the leading active stocks were small fractions higher, New Eunglaund, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and Manitoba were up o X to 3 per cent each. During the first few minutes all ac- tive stocks moved up furtuer amall fractions. The first hour brought very few features and only Missouri Pacific, Lackawanna and Sugar Refineries were at all active. In the early advauce Sugar and Missouri Pacific were each remarkably firm, the former rising 2}§ per cent to 68}¢ and the latter to 136 to 693%. A weakness in coal stocks, however, had the effect of stopping the upward movement and Reading became active, joining Lackawanus in & material de- cline, while many stocks of the general list were brought dowa below the opening fig- ures, Lackuwanua dechined 13§ and Read- fog and Kansas 1 per cent each from the best prices of the @urly dealings, while Missouri Pacifio lost sl of the improvement noted, dropping back st1lo'clock o tue opening figures, 65i. During the hour to noon Sugar Trusts were ‘conspicuous with four points to B9}, Chicago Gas was quiet Ot 415 early and 403{ at 8 o'clock. Traus- continental and Louisville and a few others lmproved slightly on light trading, while Western Union lost 3¢ from the opening to 853, The weakness of coal stooks and Sugar Trusts was counteracted after noon by #00d buying of Loulsville, St. Paul apd other standard railroad shares, privcipally for foreign account, Loulsville was ad- vanced to 87, closlug at 87%.

There was not much change in the cattle market today, values remaining about steady at Saturday’s close, but still there were those who called the market stroug. One thing is certain, however, that shippers wust not place muoh confidence in the stability of the present prices, as & heavy run would be certain to send the market down to the lowest point again, There were some of the best cattle here today ever seen in the d as high as $5.10 was paia for some r-old grade Herefords and $4.90 for the heifers out of the same lot. Thegeneral run of the steers sold st $2.80@3.70, There were only a few stockers and fecders he but the demand was light and the number of cattlo sold for that purpose small. A few native fooders sold at §2.40@2.55 and some stockers at $2.15@2.80. Nauive cows sold av $1.15@2.85 and bulle at $1.50@1.95, Hogw, The market was a shade to 5o higher and active at the advance., The demand was good and the market active, the hogs being l;_lchd up in good season in the morning, he receipts were about the same as on last Monday, but the market was Bardly so stroug as at the opening of last week, although the range of prices was the same.

Almost all monkeys which one sees in the United States come from Gor- gona, a little village which is situated a short distance from the Panama rail- road. The inhabitants of this district are mostly native negroes, for no white man could bear the climate without drinking plenty of whisky and almost constantly swallowing quinine. The whole region is marshy and covered' with extremely profuse tropical vegeta~- tion. At night there arises a thick vapor, laden with fever, which hangs aver the woods like a cloud. This region of wood is the paradise of the monkeys, writes a correspondent. They travel in troops around the woods, led by an older monkey. When the people receive the information that the “traveling monkey troops” are near the village they repair to the woods in crowds in chase of them. Their plan is very simple. They cut a hole in the cocoanut lirge enough for a mon- key’s paw. The nut is then hollowed out and a piece of sugar is placed in it. A piece of string is then fastened to it, and it is placed in the road of the approaching monkeys. It is known that monkeys are very inquisitive ani- mals. Soon enough they see the *‘lone- soms’’ cocoanut in the grass and hurry to examine it thoroughly. It is a curi- ous sight to see how they climb from the trees, chattering, to take a good view of the concern, It does not take them long to find out that the inner part contains a pieco of sugar. One of the boldest and greediest sticks a paw into the nut to get the sugar and grasps it as tightly as he can. But his fist is so large that he cannot draw it out of the hole again with the sugar, which he holds fast to, cost what it may. The negroes now pull the string until nut and monkey arrive in the vicinity of their ambuscade. Inthe meantime the other monkeys wonder what is the matter with their comrade. They hurry to see where he is being pulled to with his gnw in the cocoanut, They crowd around him, chattering and gesticulating to their heart’s content, Now the great moment has come. The negroes have a large net ready, and they spread it out over the unsus- lxecl.lng monkeys and before they know t they are prisoners., They are sold to the employes of the Panama railroad and reach the North American mar- kets through commercial dealers, B ‘We are ths People.

This Quantity is likely to be increased in the future, owing to the stringent law en- acted and being more strictly enforced by the government for the protection of the rubber tree from a bleeding process to which it had been subjected by care- less natives, and the probability of vlanting on the part of intended colon- 18ts. Inasmuch, however, as fram fif- teen 1o twenty vears are required to ob- tain & profitable result from planting the rubber tree, it would not hold out a favorable inducement to the agricul- turalists, unless planted in connection with the banana tree, the fruit of which could be disposed of on a paying basis until the rubber reached the point of profitable production. poiobe - L Change of life, backacke, monthly irregu- larities, hio! flaskias, are cured by D, Miles' Nervine.

Every n ied Piute is al- ways glad of a visit from his mother-in- law. Ho welcomes her with his broadest grin. The areival of the mother-in-law gives him a double team where before he had only one animal, Ho hails her appeavance with delight and piling a_jackass-lond of wood upon her willing old back sends her into town with his wife, similarly packed, to rmldlo out tho fuel and bring back to him a suvply of money for his favorite game of poker, The Piute father-in- law is of no use as a wood packer, nor will he gather grass sceds nor pine- nuts.
