CIIKno , Nov. 20. [ Special Telccram to
the Hr.n.l The course of prices In the wheat
market to-day was moro largely subject to
Inrnl Influence ! ) than on any day for a week ,
the volume of outside business being small.
At times there was utter stagnation In the
pit. It was detected early in the session that
local traders , being generally shoit , would
attempt to "oven up1 at the close and would
then advance prices In the operation , but the
prediction was not fulfilled. Possibly local
traders were not so generally short as sup
posed , but if they wcro , very liberal offerings
of a few of the heaviest operators made the
last quarter of an hour thn lowest of the day.
'The opening prices were 75c for December ,
7U3.jC for January mid S8J < c for May , which
were last night's closing figures for the last
named delivery , ami 'jo lower for the two
former. Tlio tone was rather weak and soon
lifter the opening December sold at 75J4'i ; and
May at Vie. . Then news was circulated
of extreme cold In the northwest and
commission men began buying , the
nun kct grew stronger rapidly and prices ad
vanced to 7'il0c ( for December , 70c for .limit-
nry and 3'c ' ( for May. These wcro the
highest figures touched. Prices sagged
slowly without any very heavy trading until
near the close , when , upon the selling ol
quite a large amount of May n 85.KX-busliel ( )
lot the hist iC of the decline was verj
quickly made , with , however , a slight reac
tion in some deliveries before the close. De
cember sold down to 75'io ' and closed nt thai
nrlcc. January sold down to 7c ( ! and closci !
ut 7lf'70 ( , ' < , c. May fell to S8\c and closed al
S2i.c.
Tlicie was active trading in corn early ir
the session and the indications were that tin
experience of the past few days w.is to bo re
pealed. Tlii-ro was nn early advance to tin
highest point touched so far , but there wal
very heavy rcali/.ing later on and the enrli
advance was more than lost before the close
First sales wore tit 15'e ' for December , Hl'ii
.for January and fiOVo for May. The curlj
ndvance carried prices to 4rt | ( < flfi9Jc ( for Do
cTinuer , 40)jC ) for .liuiuary and fil'jc for May
Then they dropped slowly until Dccembei
nnd January touched 4lc ( and May no c. December
comber closed at Klc bid , January at 40'j ' , <
and May atnoi4C'T. ) rBc. !
Oats in the speculative market attracted
considerable attention ami trading in tin
May future was fairly active throughout
Prices were unsettled , tlio market lluctua
ting in close sympathy with corn. Mnj
opened steady at 82'(1c ' ( , advanced toiN e am
then declined to MlJiJe. At the close 31 ? < C'i
38c was bid. December sold sparingly a
as'1 ' and at ono timo8sj < e was bid. Janu
miry was quoted at about the same as Do
comber. Seller tlio month closed at ' 20i i
nnd ono or two trades were made at that
May oats closed about i4'e lower for the day
with the near futures practically uiichaiiged
The provision trade sulTcicd u little reac
lion. The underlying feeling showed in
change fiom its late strength , hut thomarke
was morel him ordinarily ciowded with seller
parties anxious cither to even up fora Sun
day rest or tnko their prolits ami under tin
pressure of offerings pi Ices broke somewhat

especially Delaware & Hudson , wcro ttetl
nnd abjorbcd a great deal of attention , i
vancing 8Vj' [ ) cr cent , while Lackawan
gained 14 per cent. London was a buj
during the early part of the week , but sc
freely toward the close. This led to libci
realizing by professionals. Despite the sc
ing the market displayed an unusual degi
of stubbonuess , but the heavy sell !
pressure , coupled with the continued sir
and rate cutting by the Grand Trunk , had
depressing effect , offsetting all the bcnel
derived by the largo earnings and Louil
buying. Tlio money market also attract
more attention and Friday an advance to
per cent was an iingiortant factor in forcl
n sharp decline. Tlio advance was pun
the result of manipulation and enabled c
bank to loan 11,700,000 at 7S per cent instc
of 45 , the current rate for some time pa

its relations to the other mental fucultie ! < ,

iccord of the world's nonsense , a oru/y quilt
of patches mid dHuirmonlc color * , unreli
able , and , as a whole , untrue. " As proof h
cited tlie Prussian history , which , he claims
Is full of exaggerations mid falsehood * . Mr

very imperfect apparatus , whose defects are
oul > in ii.irt remedied by th > > office of mem
ory. \ \ e do not see the world , he said , as it
is. but as it Is icllected In our consciousness
by our perfect senses , and supplemented b.\
the Ideas already in our brain. Mr. Conrad

A BOLD SPECULATOR.
Cnroer of n AVcll Known

Now York Correspondence : Not n
tow of the men one meets in Wall street
him' an eventful career , lint very few
hnve hud nn experience so full of vicis
situdes nnd so interesting in u eommor-
c'uil sense as n man of medium height ,
of rather portly build , with somewhat
heavy , oval feature * , of a genial ex
pression , \\hich , however , does not en
tirely conceal an undorl.ving decision of
character that a suitable occasion would
ntaUe phiinly manifest , llo is nlwnya
drcs-cd nuietly , yet with scrupulous re
gard to the best mode , and he. closely
watches the market Ihietnulions from
the opening of the board till the gong
of the stock- exchange announces thtj
end of the speculative battle. It la
Oliver S. Dawson. llo is not ono of the
powers of the street far from it. Hut
lew of the giants of the snoculntlvq
world have had a more varied career.
Mr. Dawson was born in 1'ooria , 111. ,
where his father was a dry .goods mer
chant and where young Dinvson acquired
his first business experience , llo canto
to Now York in 1801 , when ho was nine
teen years of age , with iJ'JO,00 < ) , which ho
had acquired in the dry goods trade ,
llo decided to risk his moderate , fortune
in stock spocnlalion , and the Into
Charles Osborn was his broker. "Char
ley" Osborn , as he wax generally called ,
was the broker who engineered the fa
mous northwest corner for.lay Gould , inl
which ho was so successful that ho crip-1
pled not a few strong operators ; anil
Mr. Osborn is roniemboreo as the only ,
ono of .lay Gould's brokers who was
sharp enough to keep thcjlargo commis
sions received from Gould , instead of i
being drawn into operations by which ]
that Machivolli of Wall street rolioveiN
them with the remorselessncssof a tluigJ
of the fortunes he had made for thorn 1131
his lieutenants in the hoard.
For a time young Dawson , undov.
Charley Osborn's guidance , was success
ful , but in an evil moment he went into
a bull pool in Now York Central , Mich
igan Central and Hock Island , and on
, luly U , 180U , when the news came"of
General McClclland's defeat on the
1'cninsnln , the markets fell 10 to 15 pel *
cent In the midst of great excitement. '
Hy this decline he lo-t $ f > 0,0X-nll ( ) ho
had. Then ho went to St , Louis nnd
joined the brigade of General Frank
Hlnir , with the rank of captain. Ho
was to recruit u company in Illinois , but
at about that time a law was passed
prohibiting recruiting in ono state for
the regiments of another , whereupon
Captain Dawson resigned and devoted
his attention to army contracts , remain
ing in St. Louis. For a year and a halt )
ho had all of General Grant's contracts
there and also of General ISoseernyp
contracting at times for as imioK As
15,000 tons of hay , not to mention largo
quantities of other supplies. The cop-
tracts proved very remunerative and
once more ho could bo termed wealthyi !
In IStil ho returned to Now York with
eonsiderablo money , but made the mis
take of going short in the gold room and
lost most of it. Ho speculated in stocks
for several years , and in ISO" entered
into a bear campaign in Krio. Daniel
Drew , then one of the giants of Wall
street , had taken .lay Gould , Henry N.
Smith and FOIIIO others into a bull pool
in Krie. Mr. Gould was at that time a
member of the brokerage firm of Smith ,
Gould & Martin. In the end , howovcr , ,
the bear pool , in whii h Diuvson was ono
of the leading spirits , made little or no
money , the market finally going nguinsv
them.
In 18G8 he went to San Francisco and/I
become a great friend of the famous
Knlslon , whoso ono ambition was to
make the bank of California as great ns. .
the bank of England , and who committed - ' )
ted suicide on tlio failure of the institu
tion for which ho had ontertuincd Huch j
daring hopes. Dawson sgcculatcd in
mining shares for awhile and again bo-
camu interested at about the Minio timoi
in government contracts , llo wtos , itf
bcenis , the lowest bidder on a contract' '
to supply $1,000,000 worth of beef to tlio
Sioux Indians , and was largely instrn- I
mental in bringing about an investiga
tion of the interior department which
rejected his bid , the inquiry into ita
methods finally resulting in the retire
ment of Columbus Delano , the uccrctar >
of tlio interior.
In 18G9 Dawson , after a stngotripol
COO miles , reached Treasure lull , Nov.u
where there was n great silver inininM-
cxcitement. Some of the ore assayed )
$20,000 a ton , and where there was once
a inoro wilderness there sprung un'
Treasure Hill , 10,000 feet tibovo thd
level of the sea , with a population sud
denly increased in the dead of winter
from'a mere handful of prospectors td
20,0K ( ) people , with twenty-six faro banks'
in operation and at least one murder a' '
day to satisfy the public demand fou , .
n 'lively civili/.ation. In conjunction
with ex-Governor Madison ho orcctocf
largo smelting-works and shipped u
largo amount of silver. These were
limes that suggested the life-like fiction
of 11 ret TIarto. The "Kborlnmlt" waa
then a great mine there , and thirty
armed men were employed at $125 a daw
to keep oil thieves. 'Dawson is woftV
known to liuvo been one of the most resolute
elute lighters in the town and was re
spected accordingly. A mob once at
tacked the olllco of ex-Governor Madi
son because ono of his notes was found
worthless , and might have killed him
but for Duwson , wno held thorn nt buy
with a drawn revolver. In 187iJhe."i'e ;
turned to New York , whore hoh'nssinco
remained , dporating in stocks rind grain
with fair success.
