CIIK vno , Dec. 10 . [ Special Telegram to
( tip Hun. ] Tlio grain markets grievously
i felt the advance to-day of that stream of
snmll country buying' orders \vhlch a few-
days ngo confused the professionals and fur
nished mi important factor in the deteimlna-
tiono.ffutuie events. "Tho counti.v" was
not on the floor to nny consldei able extent ,
cither in perton or by wire. The piofesslon-
ala had things pretty much to themselves ,
nnd ns they thought ptlcos ought to drop ,
they did dtop. The only strength seen was
nlwut the opening , und the weakest spot was
Just about ut the close. There was sonic
talk In the wheat pit nt the opening of ex
pected cold weather , which would injure
winter wheat , nnd the bulls baned some
hopes on the expected govetnmcnt , crop 10-
port. Thereupon first transactions wcio nt
SIXc for May. This wus tlio highest price of
the day.- Then came abundant selling or
ders fiom St. Louis , and the local talent ob
serving that the bulge which the hopeful
, ones had last night ptcdicted for this mornIng -
Ing would not come , immediately tuinctt sell
ers , and the pi Ice dioppcd to SVfcC' " ' ' . !
then , after a rally of c , dioppcd tobl c ,
ami ufter another ndvanio to j.V.rfc , dropped
to Slf < i J < H | J.'c nnd fluctuated for the 10-
mulnder of the session between Hint llguio
and 8 ; ? sV , closing nt S4 yb-IKe. Junu-
ury opened at 7S-jf , sold dow n to " % & " % ( : ,
und closed at 77 ; ! < f ( rt77J e. The go\ eminent
ptopiepott did not give n particle of in-
foimation conccining the condition of winter
wheat
May cot n opened \Vifcnnd diicctlv theic
WPIO one 01 two trades at K > ) { c , but this was
the highest point touihcil duiing the day.
Tlio prit e soon fell to fHLjc. For , v time it
appealed that theio was abundant coin for
. sale ut .Vie , und quite as much w anted at MI C ,
nnd the price lingered between these limits
without much doing at Intel mediate figures
Later. , however , u lower limit was easily
passeiTund the juice dropped to Tii c , closing
ut f > 3J < c. The estimate of receipts of "iricais
for Monday was a hard blow for the bulls
and the absence of any estimate of the ciop
in the government report , when n largo nue-
ugo from lust month's llguies vv us confidently
expected , was nnothei one.
The speculative out mm ket felt the weak
ening Inlluence of the decline in wheat und
* 'corn nnd the opening pi ices were tlio highest
und the closing the lowest of the day. Thci o
was quite active trading nt times thioughout
the session , chiefly for May dcliv ery. That
futuio opened at 8JJfe , sold down to and
closed at 3.J'e. Theio was no particular
feature to the market and luiies seemed to bo
influenced cliiclly by the fluctuations in coin.
In piovislons the slowest day foi wmio
weeks was cxpciienccd. The t Hiding wit
nessed was whollj on local account , and the
market was almost featureless Still , a
strong feeling held control , fluctuations vvoio
confined to n small range , and at the i lose
pilcosshowoJ no I'luteital change fi om last
night's final quotation. In the spccu'.otum

A Calirprnia Miuiclmusen-
San Francisco Call : .Tiinmy Peck had
an experience Thunkbjjiving day at the
river that he will remember for some
time to come. .Tunics hnd read some
where of a novel wny of catching chick
ens , by means of a kernel of corn anil a
Hsh-hook. So not caring to waste pow
der and shot on a seemingly countless
Hock of geese , ho conceived the idea of
going to the river and then trying a
similar plan. The geese in the river
bottom-i number inilhoiiB , and they are
slaughtered by the thousands , merely
for their feathers and the sport thut is
got out of the hunting. Mr. Peck se
cured a lot tjffoorn and twine , butinstead
of using thfulhooks ho punctured u hole
in each kpriiol und tied the twine to
it. After Inv had laid out about five
hundred of 4Uose prepared Kernels , ho
attached Jlio. twine ends to a heavy
piece of iropo , and bcarehcd for a small
btump or HSilvelhing to tie the rope to ,
but vvhoL'olZEo ' had set hia novel trap
there wasnothing , but a dreary waste of
sand. Sojhe'iaceordingly tied the rope
about hi5i a'4ir ; il ; cor.ccaleu himiolt ui
a pile of drutvvood. After a half hour H
wait , a Hook of the wild cionkeiti , num-
boiing b ) eHil thousand , How down
near tlio 9potind began devouring the
corn. .Tfyijmy got Ilia knife and club
ready and rose up with loud cries. The
geese loiij tjo , and Jimmy t-ontinuud
rising , hisittotght seemingly amounted
to little with'tho feathered bipeds. Up !
upl up ! he wont , visions of home u
terrible death , and where and how thin
would end , passed thiough hifc
mind as ho wius carried hither and
thithpr by the frightened and scream
ing birdsl But fortunately for Jamct
the geese , being M > demoralized and fly
ing1 Tn opposite directions , the string *
began to biQiik , and lie \vus slowly de
scending to the ground. On looking
down lie s.ivv that the geese were living
directly over the Sacramento river , bul
a death by di owning seem to strike hiir
bettor U > an the other , and when over s
small band bar ho cut the lope and
dropped down. "After three hours sponi
hero ho was taken off by some huntora
Jimmy bajs ho intends to apply to'.Uuld'

produce has been sold by interior paitles
who have the property for sov oral months

has e to bo margined closelj. Some money is
being foi vv arded to the intet ior for the pin -
imso of uioing grain and live stock and also
for the puichanc of small grain for stoi.igo in
small elevators and for the ci tubing of
coin. Lumber desilors aie about out of the

chines Considerable activity was
manifested in pioduco ciicles dur
ing the past week , though the feeling
was somewhat unsettled and nervous and
[ Hicos ruled with more incgulant.v than for
some time past Evidently theie has been
more lealizmg within the past few da\s , as
Lho lecent advancom prices has enabled
lioldeis to ace opt large profits , and the out-
hide puces reached were not sustained to tlio
close. Early In the week prices weie ad
vanced considerably highci than dining the
week previous , duo laigel.v to the active de
mand fiom shoits and incieased oideis fiom
outside parties At the outside llguics the
speculative ofTcimgs wcio hugely increased ,
local opei.Hoin leading and outside paities
following in their wake. Piovisions wcio
the first to lead out and the giain mnikets
followed quickly , lesulting in a mateiial 10-
duction m puces. Temitoraiy tiades were
made , but not sustained , nnd the pines for
nil the lending articles nt the close are lower
than a week ago. The icccipts of grain and
live stock have been moderately free , while
the shipments weie not very laige. Stocks
show a model ate increase. Ariivals of
live stock have been free tit till the principal
western markets. Hogs were in moderato
supply wuly in the week , but arrived in largo
numbeis later , which w s the main cause for
the break m the piovision maiket. Advices
fiom abroad have not boon very encouraging
toholdetsnud this bus added somcivhntto
the depicssion m a general way.
The expoit movements in grain nnd pio-
visions are fair , but not quite so laigo as ic-
jKHted one year ago Stocks of grain in the
aggiegato nro not enlaiging to any extent ,
wheat being about the only exception. Sup
plies of provisions aio gcnoi ally inci easing ,
though largely of pork and meat , the lard
going leguhuly Into consumptive channels.
Packing in the west Is progressing favoiably
and the aggiegato does not vuri much fiom
that of ono j ear ngo.
Condition of Trade.
A geneinl resume of the business of the

Tlio general tone of the grocery mm ket is
good and prices have remained steady for the
past week , with but a few ext options , coffee

nrtlcles have not been of any considerable no
tice. Business Is fairly good and is lapidly
increasing. The produce markets have con
