NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—The Evening Post's financial cablegram says: The stock markets | here were quiet and gull to-day, business being checked by Saturday's gold withdrawal. There was an improvement at the close, however, when it was announced that there had been | no fucther gold efflux to-day. Americans were quiet. ‘The arbitrage business was interfered with by the interruption of cable service at New York. The close in. this market was at about the best. Brazil stocks were flat on a sharp fall in exchange, which is partly due the large amount of Brazilian treasury bills here to mature next month. I learn that | next Saturday’s withdrawal of £25,000 in gold | from the Bank of England was a special op- ation, the fact being that Spain had to ' large amouni of Fregch or Spanish coin to Havana. The Bank of France re- sed to part with the gold. Spanish agents d to take bar gold from the Bank of Eng- and and give to the Bank of France in ex- change for coin. I am also told, but I cannot confirm the report, that Spain gave as security’ | for the gold a lien on the $20,000,000 expected | from the United States. Gold continues in strong_demand for Ger- 78s per ounce. The best-informea oper; say that £2,000,000 in gold is still to | g0 to Germany. | "It appears that in a recent shipment an un- | profitable exchange rate had been forced by the terms of a_contract requiring_ that the | proceeds of a Russian loan issued in Ger- | many some time back should be paid in gold on a certain date.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—Wheat was lower from the start. May opened at 66@65%s, a declino of %@c from Saturday's closing price, and in the first few minutes of trading droppel to 65%c. Telegraph communication with the East was seriously interrupted cn account of the recent storm, but enough was filtered through to show the general drift of specu- lative tendency abroAd and at the seaboard. I: was decidedly bearish and this market was affected accordingly. The 'ack of wire facili- ties also seriously interfered with buhiness, al- most no orders either to buy or sell coming from the outside, and the market in conse- | quence was extremely dull. This in itself had a depressing effect on prices, but it also kept them within a nar- row range. Liverpool was-%@%a lower and re- ported an increase in stocks for the week of about 75,000 bushels. Beerbohm estimated the | world shipment of wheat and flour at about | 10,000,000 bushels, and 2,300,000 bushels of which | eame from other countries than the United States and Canada. The quantity afloat for ! and in Europe was estimated to have increased 3,500,000 bushel Northwest receipts were notwithstanding the unfavorable weath- meapolis and Duluth reporting 1647 cars pared with 1558 last week and 1315 a year | ago. L uicago receipts were 117 cars, none of | contract graue. A slight reaction followed the deciine to &%c, due to a little buying against puts by the local crowd, but this was soon satisfied. The May option sold up to 66c, however, and remained close to that price the remainder of the session. It once touched 6% @65%c, but got back again to 66c, which price ruled until near the close. The market was apparently in the hands of the local talent and their operations were so limited that the pit at the time presented al- most a deserted appearance. May closed 65%@ | 66e. Corn_was a little more active than wheat, but trading was limited. The market early | was easy on lower cables. Business was al- most entirely local. May ranged from 34%c to 34%c, and closed unchanged at 44@34%c. |~ Oats were weak and lower. May ranged from 2 to 26%c, and closed a quarter cent lower at 26%c. Provisions were moderately active and strong. | Hog receipts were much less than expected. | May pork closed 17%c higher at $9 573: | lard, 7%c higher, and May ribs, Tikc higher. | _The leading futures ranged as zollows: | Artictes— Open.

BAD CASE OF ABSENT-MINDEDNESS. There is a certain lawyer with an office high up in the Society for Savings build- ing who is developing a strong absent- minded tendency. A da(il or two ago he was writing a let- ter and jumped up suddenly to run to the little stand on which reposed the big dic- tionary. As he raised the cover of the volume he stopped short like a man bewildered. “What's the matter, old fellow?” called out one of his partners. “I declare,” said the absent-minded man, “I've clean forgotten the word I meant to look for.” ‘“Well, say,” called the partner, “why don’t you commence at the beginning and look until you find it?” “By George,” said the victim, “I never thought of that!" 3 And opening up the dictionary at’the first page he began his lengthy task. A moment later he suddenly slammed the book shut and uttered something that sounded like a very naughty word stalked back to his desk.—Cleveland Plaindealer. THE CALL'S CALENDAR. December, 1898.
