THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat Opens Strong, But Oloses Lower Than on Saturday. DECIDED WEAKNESS IN CORN. Liberal Business Transacted in Oats —Provisions Quiet For This Sea- son of the Year—Cattie and Hogs, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnicaco, Dec. 23.—(Special Tne Bee.|—The wheat market opened strong with its, head up, but it speedily yielaed to the pressure of offerings and be- fore tho bottom was reached nearly the whole of Saturday’s improvement was lost. There was some recovery from inside figures but the closing prices showed a net loss for the day of %c. ‘The initial trading in May was on the basis of S33/@s87e. Only a few trades were made at 887ge. The price very soon worked down to S31{@s3%c, where it bung for a while, The next stopping place was $315¢, and the next 827§@Sdce. An active demand developed around sje. This made the bear scalpers a little nervous, and when they undertook to cover they found offer- ings light. A rally to $8l@s3%e followed. The warket then eased down to 83i5c and closed there. Very little business was done in December, which ranged at 8j(@is!{c and closed at i8%c. January ranged ut @i9lc and closed at 8. Operations, while rather atove an average in vol- ume, were largely for local account seemingly The stimulus of outside business, which was to have been reasonably expected, did not materialize, and as many of tne bulls were willing to take profits tue market was left without any aggressive sup- port. Furthermore tho timorous shorts were all rua 1 Saturday, and this morning many of the strong 8 Were eajrer to put out fresh lines. Thus, although cables were steady and the general situation hus under- gone no important change, the speculutive market assumed an appearance of weakne The visible supply statement was a disu) pointment to many. 1t recordel an increase of 930,573 bushels, whereas not a few enthu- siustic people were on Saturday pre- dicting a decrease. The returns came in eurly and trade was not kept in ignorance long of the deift of ‘visible" statistics. ‘The export clearances toduy equaled 144,532 bushels of wheat and flour, For the week the official estimate was 083,400 busheis (wheat and flour), which was about 800,000 bushels less than private estimates of Saturday. Tho local receipts were rather above expec- tations, bewng 131 cars. Winter wheat re- ceipts are generally fuir despite the muddy rouas throughout the western country, Al together the bulls secmed to be unable to muster many facts of o hopeful teoor and the spirits of that pariy were asa conse- quence less buoyant. ‘The corn market made a show of main- taining Saturday’s closing figzuses at the opening, but it soon became evident that the sellers held the whip'hand of the situation and a pronounced weakness set in and con- trolled matters to the ose. December re- ceived no support from a party who 18 sup posed to have virtual control of thut future in this market, and under only moderate teading it dropped 1c per bushel,” opening ut ¢ and declining to 82c. May was also weak and lower, Sellers were plentiful and buyers scarce until the price touched 32ig¢, at which price orders were more plentiul and a stop wus made at that figure, The re- ceipts here were heavier than was expected, In oats a liberal business was recorded, and while fluctuations were narrow values tended to weakness. The receipts exceeded expectations. A local warehouse was a free seller, The visible supply and local stocks both showed some increase for the week and the market also partook of the weakness in weat and cora, May sold off e to 221gc, but there were fairly numercus buying or- ders at that, checkiug any marked tendency 1o decline. January was quiet at about 2¢ discount, and other months were neglected, No. 2 regular or December was nominally 2014 @030 with cash trading again coofined to sample. The withdrawals from store were more iiveral than for some days past, ag- gregating 84,500 busheis. Provision traders were in no wise troubled to look after their market. The cash orders in the hands of the brokers were small for the season and 1n speculative circlestrading was ‘wholly of u *'s0 80" character, It was want- ing to a noticeable extent in spirit and activ- ity and faled to exhibit a single feature ‘worthy of comment. KEven Old Hutch neg- lected to give the market the attention he has lately extended to it. A quiet state of affairs certainlyjexisted. Though the feeling was strong and fluctuations in prices came within a small range, closings were the same a8 Saturday for Junuary pork, Junuary and Muay lard and May short ribs, 2i¢c bigher for May pors and 2igc lower for Januury short, rib he Decomber product was al- most nomiual, pork standing at $3.60, lard at £5.8) and shortribs at $4.72!¢.

There seemed to b uny amount of buil points dis- tributed, but they were too numerous to be highly prized. Missouri Pacific, which a few weeks ago was deeply indebted to George Gould and others,is now represented as able to pay off all floating d ebts and in the words of Russel Sage to have a clean bill of health, The sweet looks for this stock 1o go to 00, as its showing is as good as the Burlingtou, which is nearly 40 points higher, Gould is, however, regarded as & bull for business, and an upturn is predicted in not ouly - Missouri Pacific, but Western Union, Waubash preferred, Texus Pacific and Missour), Kamsas & Texas. Asif to carry out these predictions, Missouri Pacific Was the strong feature of the market early, Boing to 743, und Pacific Mall made a big stride upward, going to 863(. Atchison sold at 34§ and Burlington moved up to 10815, with Lackawanna up ¢ to 137, Before noon the character of the market changed. Vanderbilvs firm early yiclded slight frac- tions. Western Union dropped 8 per cent to 8314, followed by Missouri Pacific oft ¢ Pacific Mail, Wabash preferred and y all railroad stocks sympathizea and yielded i per cent or more. Trust stocks were about steady. ‘There was little fear of further manipulation of money rates ex- pressed. The day ended in stocks with very free liquidation in many of the most active shares. Coal stocks held pretty steady. Missouri Pacific, the leader of the morning, took a further backset after noon and went off to i3} at the close Sugar Trusts had a break of about 8 points to 55%, closing at 55J¢. Chicago Gas touched 4214, closing at 43. Pucific Mail, Atchison, Burlington and nearly all western stocks showing fan advance early, closed With slight net losses, Business was light and money loaned up to 10 per cent, The total sales were but 114,000 shares.

Mosquito creek flows through a wooded part of that county, and the stream is as full of trout as the dense forest is alive with various kinds of birds, The eagles find a peace- ful home there, und they are plenty, too. Some timo ago a party of lumber- men bethought themselves that it would be a good scheme to cateh the trout that habit Mosquito creek. They could not spare the time to fish with rod and line, and Franklin Haverstraw, the invent- ive genius of the camp, suggested the idea of tying lines to bottles, The next day ‘the creek was full of bottles with lines on them. They had good luck for awhile until the bottles began to disappear. To solve the myster, watch was put upon the fishing mfile, and Haverstraw and Christ. Moore wenv on guard, A day passed, but the bottles were undisturved, and a good mess of fish was caught, lluwevtsr the two men saw several eagles perched high io the treetops, loukm suspici- ousllv into the water below, en they would soar uround and fly Llouu to the creek, quickly going to the highest limb of the tatlest tree when they saw the men. This singular action of the birds set Haverstraw to thinking, and when he told his partner that it was his belief that the bottles were carried off by the eagles Moore scouted the idea. Haver- straw was firm in his convie- tions and the next day the two men hid themselves among ° the leaves. At 8 o'clock in the morning three large birds came in singht. They sat on a tree for an hour. Then, fecling sure hat they were unobserved, they made a descent and each caught a ‘bottle in its claws and carried it 1o the bank. Eacn line had a fine trout on it, which the eagles proceeded to davour. The men were dumbfounded, For the first time in their lives they saw an eagle eating o fish, Haverstraw and Moors remained in their. hiding place. To their surprise the birds made another trip to the riveg, Ouly one line had a 1ish on it, but the other two birds car- ried the bottles and lines to the shore. Before they could devour the one fish Haverstraw and Moore appeared on the scene and the birds ILH\' off. Thne grounds were then searched, and many of the missing lines and bottles were found. To shoot the eagles was the next measure adopted, and on the fourth day two of the birds were killed. third flew away and wa - o Mistake, By dispelung the symptoms so often taken for comsumption.
