CHICAGO , Dec. 0. [ Special TclCRram to
Tin : URR 1 This has been a rather dull da >
In the wheat market , which seemed Inclined
to drop most of the day , though It could not
be properly described ns generally vvealt , un
til the last half hour. Karly trading wni on
n ncalo of declining values. May opened at
tl lUtQl.lOJjf , sold down to f 1 10 , inline-
dlntly.and after 11 fractional rally , worked oft
to 1 1036 , At this staKO of the proceedings the
market looked "weak cnouph to sellnn 2c , "
to use the language of the pit traders a
tihrasu clearly born of experience for recent
history shows that values are prone to exalt
themselves very energetically at periods of
urcmliiKly gieatest depression. At any ralo
the market bewail to mend , Sl.101 belnff
the bottom on the first break. For the next
couple of hours the price fluctuated between
tl.lOJi nnd $1.10Jf , with K-ory light tr.ulo
passing. Hutchlnson was a steady , but not
an aBKrcssive seller of wheat , and tlicio was
moderate buying by commission houses most
conspicuous icccntly on the bull side. About
12 o'clock ' rumors bnpan to circulate
that there hail been larfc'o trims-
actions in Hour at Minneapolis.
Later there came an unconfirmed report that
100,090 barrels had been sold there in export
order. Meanwhile the market had been
crawling up to the vicinity of f 1.11 : then the
scalpers caught on and vvhoopod the price up
to tl ll > ' , f. A dozen dispatches were sent up
to Minneapolis for confirmation of the 100,000
barrel sale. It could not bo confirmed , and
in the opinion of several coriespondcnts , the
story sprang from 'negotiations" for a much
smaller amount of Hour , llright , the nucnt
of u leading commission house , wired that
the report was generally discredited in
Minneapolis , nnd "that never In tile history
of that city had there been that much Hour
sold In a single day. " The effect of the failure
to confirm this Important item of bull news ,
was a local breali In prices. May worked
quickly back to Jl.ll , then to Jl.lOJtf , then to
tl.10) ) , iindshniply to $1.10. This brought
the session down to 10 o'clock. A hard battle
was fought at $1.10. Tlio pressure of long
wheat nnd'spceulativo offerings depressed
values still further , however , tlic price going
to tl.OOX , closing at tl ( K KTho range for
December was tl.04'i@l IM1 , and the close
was fl.O.ljf. Januaiy ranged at $1.05V ( >
1M)6 nnd closed oat fl.lMJ . Cables were
quiet as u rule , and some ot the private dis
patches from the other side mentioned
that holders were re-selling cargoes
oft the coast , there being actually
moio wheat available than waR needed.
to meet the requirements. The temper of
the foreign situation at this wilting is ccr-
tninlv discouraging to the friends of wheat
on this side who have been banking on the
probable foreign demand thenextfow months
on nuyvvhoio near the present Chicago prices.
The local speculative situation has not under
gone any nmiked change. The price of wheat
may be too high , figuring vvtiatit would bring
on being ground into Hour and sold to con-
nunicrs , but so long as any one of half a
dozen firms have ns much long wheat on
their books as there is actual wheat in store
here , short selling cannot bo expected to bo
very popular. Tills seems to bo the present
diniculty. Now York was llrincr , If unv-
tlilmr. than Chicago , and other m.iikcts fol
lowed Chicago fluctuations. The local trade
was not heavy , except during the last hour.
The dcclino was as purely speculative as the
advance was yesterday , and it amounted tea
a fraction more.
The offerings of corn wore liberal , and the
feeling weaker soon after the openlngof the
market. The receipts were again under the
estimates of the preceding day , and the
English markets were firm. Exports were
quite moderate , however , and all told do not
count for very much In u crop of such mag
nitude as the ono now being moved. The
weather was clear and dry , and everything
favors a frco movement by farmers. The
quantity now grading No. 2 is quite small ,
there being only eight cars in to-day's ' re
ceipts. St. Louis was said to bo selling
freely in this market , anil the demand from
shippers was slack. Thcio was nn entire
absence of outside business beyond what
was dome on account of the city above re
ferred to , and , after about hnlf an hour's
moderate activity near the opening , the pit
was dull and nearly deserted and continued
Inanimate during ihc greater part of ttio ses
sion. Closing prices show losses on all
futures of 5i@ c per bushel , January clos
ing at SS fc against a. > % < 33T > J o yesterday ,
nnd May t a JJc ( to-day , as computed with
U8c the day before.
In provisions the movement was compara
tively bullish. According to advices re
ceived by the Cincinnati Price Current , the
winter's packing of the west to date shows a
shortage from last year's returns for the
same time of 510,000 ho/8 / , and with the mar
keting of hogs at Chicago and other points
far under expectation * ) , the product isie-
gardod with Increased favor. To day the old
supports of trade vvcro strengthened and en
couraged In their position by good short and
Investment buying , and by the strong under
tone higher prices prevailed almost us a mat
ter of course , and the closing all around ap
proximated to the best quotations made. In
pork the advances established amounted to
.S2i(3V. ! ( In lard to 20@iiy.Je , and in short
ribs to 12c.

CHICAGO , Dec. fl. ( Special Telegram to

there were at least 22,000 cattle on sale. The

and there was no demand for what were

cows to briti ( , ' $2. Thcro were hnrdly nnj
feeders on sale but there were u few stale

Tlic rioililn OrniiRC Crop.
Now York Independent : It is good
to learn Unit the Florida oi-a
ers mo not to bo embarrassed by
less iiunrnntinu or delay in
their aljumlunt crop. The idea of
oranges , swinging on the trees , harboring -
ing microbes is grotesque , especially as
the pungent oil of thu pool is in it-oll
an antidote to fever 'jerms and mieceHS-
fully employed as a preventive. So the
market will soon bo abundantly sup
plied with Florida oranges sweet ,
hc.'iltliful and cheap. This delicious
fruit , unlike any otbor , requires a full
jearto develop. Tlio trees are white
with bloom in February , and though
the orant'os attain their growth by
October and are yellow in November ,
they grow sweeter by hanging on the
trees till Fobrimry , when they are por-
perfeet , though the bulk of the crop is
marketed long before , owing to the
demand and fear of freezing.
This jeur the crop is estimated to bo
full.\ y.U.K,000 ) boxes , more tlian double
that of any previous year , iiieh box
holds an average of at least 160. Each
freight cur carries about 1100 boxes. So
to nuno the crop will require live trains
of 120 ears each per day for 100 days , and
the 4.it)00,000 ) ) oranges \\lllallow nearly
10 each to c\ery inhabitant in the
United States.
To sucii nma/ing proportions has this
fascinating business developed within a
verj few jears. aud the. young trees yet
to come into bearing promise in alow
years to multiply the above figures by
ten. Many are Nitisfietl when buying
to learn from the dealer that they arc
"Florida" of
getting oranges , ignorant
the fact that the varieties are as num
erous as their grades of quality. In
buying apples one generally selects fall
pippins , greenings or Baldwins to suit ,
whereas in purchasing orangrs the
brand of "Florida' is suflioient. Con
sumers will soon find out , if they have
not ahcady , that the variety in oranges
is greater than in apples , and learn to
-.elect . HomosasMi. Nonpareil , _ Sweet
Seville. Indian river , Tangerine or
batstima as readily as they now do
various apples.
Thvio is one trado-mark on Florida
oiangcs that Ctinnot bo counterfeited ;
when the peel is discolored by what is
known as "rust , " you may know the
fruit was grown in the land of Hewers.
So far fiom this being a drawback , ex
cept for looks , this rust is a positive ad-
\antage. Russets are invariably solid ,
sweet and juicy ; the tiny insect that
caubfd the discolored peel thereby
hennetirally seals the pores , confining
the juices that would otherwise- evapor
ate ; yet jou may buy russets for about
$1 per box cheaper than brights. So
much for "looks ' or the wnims of taste ,
Few oranges are marketed as
carelessly as apples , all sizes and quali-
ies being dumped into a box. Instead ,
each box is carefully packed in lajers
containing exactly the same size and
number , the boxes holding 1US , 140,17G
to ' .0. The medium si/es are consid
ered best , the box being stenciled with
the number as well as the quality of
the fruutas 17U russets , brights , fancy ,
etc. The orange-growers' packing
houses adjoining the groves in Florida
are now scenes of great activity.
Rollicking negroes mount loner lad
ders into the trees with sacks swung on
their shoulders and , pruning shcais in
hand , clip the golden fruit from its
rough stem and place it in the bag ,
whichwhen full are huidcnsomeiscaic-
fully emptied in boxes under the trees
to be hauled by teams to the packing
houses. The fruit is never pulled fiom
the tree , as the stem comes out "plug
ged" and worthless for shipping ;
neither can they bo tossed about , or the
delicate sacs bursts and the orange de-
cnvs. In the packing house the sorter
rolls each fruitdownan inclined trough
with gradually spreading sides , so each
fruit drops in the box underneath con
taining exactly the same si/.e ; thence
the boxes are taken to the wrappers ,
who dexterously twist eaeli in tissue
p.ipor and place in regular layers. Tlio
lucking houses , \\heie possible , line a
railroad sidetrack ; so the boxes as
packed are loaded into the cars , which
run direct fiom the gioves to the north
ern cities without change.
