THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNK THE SPECULATIVE WARKETS, Wheat Shows Ooly Temporary Ac- tivity and Closes Dull NEAR FUTURES OF CORN WEAK, Kattlo Interest Snown in Oate—A Btronger Feeling Exhinited in Frovisions—A Fair Demand For Cattle—Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cricaco, Dec. 81, pecial Telegram to Tur Bre.|—For about fifteen minutes aftcr tho bell tapped this morning a lively business was done in the wheat pit. From then on to the close trade was duil and much of the time was given over to “horse play’’ incident 10 going out of the old year. At the start-off May was quoted at 82%;c. The price went to £27¢c, and undbr the pressure of heavy sell- g by Hutchinson and others the market broke to 825 A reaction carried the price beck to & and another selling faror caused a second declineto 827¢c. Thereafter the market hung almost motionless around SU8{@827¢e, ciosing at 82 Fluctuations January were confined to hmits of T7@ cand the close was 7i%c. The price of cash wheat on this, the last day of the year, was 77%¢. A year ago §1.01'5 was the price at which the same article was held. Summed up in brief, it may be said that the day was exceedingly uneventiul. Foreign nows was generally stronger, and as domestic news also had a decided loaning that way, the coureo of values would naturally have been in the direction of an improvement had there been any action worth mentioning. Near futures in corn were very weak and May was barely steady. The weather was clear and favorable for the bettering of tha condition ana conscquently of the inspection of future receipts. No. 2 corn sold today at £014@2934c, which is the lowest figure it sold at duriug the entire year. Near the opening there was some delivering out on December and January contracts, which started these futures ou' the down grade, December de- clining from reacting to 2084c and then selling off to 291c and closing at'its lowest point. January declined 1 to 20!5e and Muy was steady aua closed at 53¢, In the regular market for oats little inter- est was shown and speculative trading wus small ut practically steady prices. May was in moderate favor at 2 g, even touch- ing 221 @2214c, while Jauuary and Fobruary were nearly stationary at the common figuro of 20, c. December closed lifeless and No. store ruled nominul at 20c, with cash confined to sumples. May delivery ingly at 24, feeling was wit- nessed. An advance in hogs, turned the movement in favor of sellers, who were ulso favored by an unexpected short demand, ‘I'he shorts in differeat lines covered quite freely and duriug the early part of the day quite a fair showlug of 1ifé characterized the market. During the lust hour or so of the session business was practically suspended. Compared with yesterday, the closings showed un advance of 2!;¢ on January pork and short ribs and May Jard, on Muy shiort ribs, 5 on January lard and 10c on Nay pork. ‘The December product was neglectod For casn delivery lard vound green hams at §7. mnl boxed short clears at #4.95 Large sales of __ short ribs were made for nlnpmunt. but tae ces obtained were withheld, In future llen\lngu May was the pivotal month.

Junuury pork stood av the close at $9.10, lara at §5.85 Aud short ribs at #4654 6754, CHI0AGO LIVE STOCK Cnicaao, Dec. 31.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bee.]—Carrie—The demand was fair and prices rather on the uptura than other- wise. But few prime steers were on the market and only a few really good. Tha bulk was made up of medium and common, but all sold substautially higher than at the close on Tuesday last, The scarcity of Tex: ans ha# brought about u sharp upturn in all grades of native butchers’ stock, which sold quick at the advance. The stocker and feeder trade is fairly active. There are a feweastern orders for light common stock and some orders from lllinois feeders for good hoavy feeders.

New Yong, Dee. 81.—|Spegial Telegram to Tur Ber |—Srocks—The fates have decreed that the stock market shall not close either wealc or dead. The sensational news of yes- terday in money matters failed to dislodge any of the well held shares, and the buying, even under the most adverse news, was of such a character as to encourage the bulls, &t is conceded that 1if stringency in money prevails in Loudon there will be liguidation of Awerican shares, Russell Sage says the high rates for money on the last days of the year means nothing but @ pressuroe against stockholders. Gould is evidently not with the bears and predictions are free that, tight money out of the way, his specialties will move up freely. The action of the market this morning was in strong contrast with Mouday, There was o more settled foeling and firmness was felt in all parts of the lis In the early trading in Luackawanna, St, Paul and Jissourl Pacific tbere was considerable activity, and m place of the pronounced weakuess of yeslerday thore was a modorate degreo of strength displayed, first prices generally being from }5 10 % ver cent higher than last evening's closing figures, while Union Pacifio was up 4 and Missouri Pacific’ 3 per cont. Further advances were scored 10 the early trading, Missouri Pacific and Lackawanna leading the general List with gains of % per cent each, but Sugar Refineries rose 1 per cent to 58% and Tennessee Coal made another spurt from 78’ to 5. The move- oL uts in the remainder of the list were small and unumportant and late 1o the hour there was some reaction. The hour to noon brought more general strength and every class of stocks sold at higher figures. Jersey Central jumped 10 123, Louisville went w0 851, New England went up to 485, 1 per cent over last night, Northern Pacific preferred went to T4Me, while the Vauderbilts held firm, aelling ex-dividend. Not a reaction i recorded up to mnoon and the year promises to end with the bulls elated. Phe day ended as it began in stocks, with prices moving upward and without a serious setback from first to last. The gains for the Qay ranged from 1 to 2)¢ per cent in maany active shares, with & jump of about 6 poiuts ip Teunesseo Coal. The streugth of the warket in evening up for the new year was surprising, Louisville, New England and Reading viade gaius of 13 per ocent. St. Paul, Burlington, Union Pacific and North- ern Pacifio madg gains of 13 per cent. Lack- awanna advanced 21§, Missouri Pacifio 21§, Jersey Ceutral 43( and many other stocks less freely. Money was as high as 20 per cont, but affected the warket wot In the least and closed with loans at 6 per cent.

Owing to the light offerings today's market was quoted still stronger and the trade was fairly brisk on anything that the buyers happened to want. There was one bunch of corn fed steers good enough to bring $4.00, but.the bulk went at $3,053. For the ' awount of stuff here there were quite a number of rather desirable cows on sale which sold lfl firm_prices. The sales ranged uil the way from $1.85 to $2.75, prin. cipally at $2.00@2.25. Nearly all the stock- ors and feeders on sale yesterday were sold before the close and w8 there were no fresh receints to speak of, the market was almost bare. A few head went at 0@3.00. Hoes. Hows advanced a shade to 5o today and the market was active at the advance. While the popular price yesterday was $1.50, today it was 83.55, with the top at &.60. The bu crs wanted the hogs, and with such a light Tuesday’s run they did_not hesitate any in buying, but cleared up the yards in short or- der. The trade was soon over, and the mar- ket had practically closed by the miadle of | the forenoon. Comparing today with last Tuesday, a b 'y falling off in the receivts will_be noticed, amounting to fully 1,500 head, Sheep.

To this swaff was tied the tape used in bandaging the patfent’s arm, When not 1n use the pole was hung outside as u sign of the duties performed within, Later the identical pole used by putients was not exhibited as a sign, out instead a painted pole was placed beside the doorway. = At first surgeons’ poles were paintea red and white striped, while those of mere barbers were ruqulred t0 be white and blue, Thislaw was enforced in Eng- land up to 1762, R Change of life, backache, wonthiy irregu- larities, bot flashies are cured by Dr. Miles’ Nervioe.
