THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS Decline in Wheat Attributed to In- creaso in Elevator Charges. A SENSATIONAL CORN STORY. A Moderate Business Recorded in Provisions Take an Kasy Turn—Oattle and Hog Receipts, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cuicaco, Dec. 24, pecial Telegram to TueBee, |—-The local elevator charges were increased 1§ per cent a year yesterday afternoon, and although the change does not affect grain in store in Chicago now, the prico was knocked off vearly 1c a bushel today and the increasod chares were as- signed as the main cause for the decline. Phe wheat market was heavy during a great part of tho session, though during the last hour there was soma recovery from inside prices and a better tone to spoculation gen- erally. There was less buoyancy to cables and less gossip on the subject of the export business, present and prospective, than hus filled the air for the past week. The seaboard markets were, however, considerably firmer than Chicago The receipts of winter wheat here continue of a farly liberal value and the prospects aro that the movement will increase rather than decrease during the months of January and February, as country rouds settle. May wheat, which closed yesterday at 83ic, ovened this morning at $23@8c, went down 10 523¢c, back o 834¢¢, and then off to S21jc. During the decline there was a heavy selling out o wheat around the ~bottom, Some lines of short wheat were covered and a renewed oy ment demund sprang up. This served 1o steady the market, Offerings were s0 heavy that the market was some time start- g up, however, but n headway wus finally gained and the price got to 82%e. The close was 82ge or under yesterds quotation. December ranged at 77lg(@7 and closed at 773{ Junuary ranged at @78c and cloged ut the outside. The shrink- age iu early delivories wus Partridge and his followerk led in sclling, and the timent of the pit was bearish, The market long heavy trading in start, and was characterized by extremo weakness, The pressure of new grain upon the market is being felt, to the detriment of rices, but much of this pressure is more anciful than real, though the actual facts would be sufticment of themselves to prevent anything like a bullish fever to prevail. Scnsational stories, evidently emanating from interested parties, have been published o the effect that 70,000 car loads of corn are at present en route between here and eastern markets. ‘I'he absurdity of this is apparent on its face when it is scen that the number of cars mentioned would represent about 49,000,000 bushels. As was remarked by an observant receiver in the corn pit, the market hus twice cornered itself from an actual scarcity of spot corn and the total visible supply is considerably under 6,000,000 bushels. l'hn weakness of today’s market ‘was, despite the foregoing, chiefly due to in- <reasing receipts. Tho inspection sheet shows 130 cars in excess of yesterday's estimates rcceived horo. The eastern mar- kets were all easier and the English mar- kets, influenced by the declining tendency here, were lower also. A delivering out of 100,000 bushels of corn on* Decembor contracts yesterday afternoon weakened the cash market and all futures were in entire sympathy with it. ‘I'ne closing prices were !4¢ lower on December, %c lower on January and ;¢ to %c lower on May. The closing qotations were: December 815, being & e recovery from the lowest point: January 84¢c, and May closed at 82/{c, sell- ers after selling at 82%c. "Phe trading in outs partook somewhat of the holiday character noted in the other cereals, with only a moderate spcculative business recorded, In spite of the fact that receipts wero materially less than anticivated there was no strength in the market, prices sympathizing with corn and selling off about 'sc. May sold early at 22'4c aud later at 239c, with the nexv month weak av 20)jc. December was scarcely mentioned and No. 2 regular con- unued lifeless around 20%c, with cash lots selling exclusively by sample. The provision trade cxhibited an easier turn, A decline in the price of hogs, whicn are bemg marketed quite freely for the holi- day weok, made tho bear side grow a little more in general favor. Trading was too slow to develop any particular disposition to indulge in anythinge like hammering opera- tions, yet offerings were free und the product dropped to @ lower level. Compared with yesterday, the closiug for the day showed a net decline of n Decemuer lard, January pork aud January and May short rivs, 2';¢ on December short ribs and January and May lard, and on May pork. Orders for cash products’ were agamn under a fair average for the season, the weather being unfayorable for the shipment of green or purtly cured meats. . Cash old pork soid at $8.00, new pork at , sod lard at New York green shoulders e, and 10 pound _green 20@7.25 for Junuary delivery, future dealings witnessed were con mainly to May, which ranged from $.62'; early down to $0.55 for pork, from . o.nlowu to $4.571,@1.90 for short ribs, The closing sales all around were mmlu at the lowest prices oF raugo toucked.

Cmicaao, Dec. 34.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—Cartue—Business was only moderately active, with a slight upturn on a few fair to good stecrs wanted for shipment, Dres ed beef operators were indifferent, their firms giving orders to go slow, as an inter- ruption of Christmas holiday, oceurring as iv does in the middle of the week, is likely to imterfere more or less with business, The light run of Texans for the pust two davs has helped to stimulate prices on fair to gooa native butchers’ stock, There were no Tex- ans in sight today.

There was little of importance even during the hour to 13 o'clock. Sugar trusts after touching 56%¢ dropped to B5)¢.

OMAHA LIVE STOUK, ‘Wednesday, Dec. 25. General, As usuul on g boliday there was not much of a market for live stock. In fact there was not much stock to sell wor very much of & demand to sell it. The buyers did not want much and with visions of ‘a Christmas dinuer 10 come they were not inciined to buy heavier or w0 spend more time than was absolutely uecessary. Oatele, There were ouly fourtoen fresh loads of cattle, hardly enough to make a market on avy a-f With 80 fow cattle it seemed only natural that the buyers should pay stron prices Such cattlo as the buyers wan were soon pleked up and the lnlrkul closed early. ‘The seilers are generally very anxious that the country shoula fuily com- prebend the situation, for should the present strengthening in prices be looked upon as anytbing perinanent and & bheavy run result, nothing conld prevent the complete demora zation of the trade. As a salesman remarked fifty to a bundred loads of cattle would knock the market “enlley west.” There must be a strongthening in all the cattle and beef markets and a disposition on the part of t only matured cattle can be looked upon as Hows, With only twenty-seven loads of hogs re vorted in the yards a strong or at least an activo market might have been anticipated, but the opposite was true today. The trade was siow and it took as long to clean up the few hogs that were here as it does on many diys 10 sell 100 cars, The buyers did not ap- pear at all anxious for hogs at any prices, but in the end they bought them at abont yesterday's closing prices, $3.45 being quite @ popular prico for the most desirable, Sheep.

In the course of his wanderi he came upon a pair of bars load into a grassy und inviting meadow. The bars he let down and walked into the meadow. He had but half erossed the meadow when ho saw to his horror a great L k d white Holstein bull emerge from the dark shade of an apple tree and advance toward him. General Bumblethorpe is not an active man, but the stc advance of this enor- imulated him for the mo- ment to great activity. And his own rapid flight also served to stimulate the bull, who lowered his head and charged furiously, bellowing the whil It was & mad chase, but General Bum- blethorpe had some good r ds of advan- tage in the start and the opposite fencé of the field was not far away. The gen- eral ran wildly and succeeded in turn- ing asomerset overthe fence justin time to escape the infuriated animal. And then it was ne Bumble- thorpe who was infuriated. From the safe side of the fence he stormed and raged at the bull, and, secing a favm- house not far avay, he stalked over to it.

The orator hadn’t spoken a hundred words before Jim interrupted him. He did this twice more and was warned to go slow. He didn’t go much on dreams and warnings, however, and watched for another opportunity. Pretty soon the orator suid: **And so this little band of pilgrim fathers set out with stout hearts uud un- wayering faith in search of “In search of skunks! Jim, The orator made along jump, lighted down on Jim Bucks and inside of two minutes he had him licked so thorough- ly thav Mrs. Bucks would have passed him by for a splatter of pumpkin jelly which had dropped from a dinner bas- ket. When satisfied that the work was thoroughly done, the orator returned to the platform and continued in the same calm and unrufiled tones: “—Tliberty of speech and frecdom of conscience, and they found them at Ply- mouth Rock.” He went on and delivered a really eloquent speech, lasting nearly an hour, and he was just com-ludmg When Jim Bucks erawléd out {rom n wigon half o mile away, where he had been laid, and queried of those around him: ‘*Say, is that feller still speakin’ or fightin’?
