Cimufio. Ill , , Dec. 10. Counselmnn & nay
to Cockroll Bros. Commission company : Those
who have been pivdlc.tlng an 80,000,000 bu ,
visible supply reiiort ami 75c for Miiv wlieat
were Jubilant when the total readied 78-
300,000 bu. and the pHco dropped to 70c
again. The feature of tlm day was the buying
by linns Ibrough whom the northwest , Is sup
posed to bo short In this market , which caused
a recovery In the face of ronsldcrahlo
scattered liquidation by longs who are livening
up for the holidays. Corn anil oats
were llrm and a rmiill business rc.siillcit from
tlm lack of selling orders. There were liberal
buying oidcrMil 3 141- for May oats nnd 40'tc '
for .May corn which could not bo o.\ccutcd ,
Provisions opened at u sharp decline on ac
count of hog receipts , and scalpers took tlm
short side of the. market , but were slumped by
packers buying , After that them was not
much demand except for lard , which ceased at
the top on buying led by Armour A Co.

portion of It wnsMi > believe , for short account.
The feeling that llio market will go .still lower
Is now gelling popular , too much MI consider
ing thi ! fact that tlm largii holders are adding
lo tlmlr holding ) , . If thlxsicady ncciimulallon
of long wheat continues , and any leasonablu
strong feat urn counts In , wo belltn-e the mar
ket will be quite Imrn of ofYiirlng.-i and work
higher , Irmsnm'llviiof tlm seaboard markets ,
at least until toward the openlngof navigation
und ( he ( line for receiving purchases draws at
hand. Corn Inclined to weakness , Wo learn
of an Increased movement of corn from llrst
hands , especially through Illinois. With the
holiday trade , Increasing receipts and large
slocks wo bullevo prices will pay , Oats were
quiet and easy , with the cash demand decreas
ing , 1'rovlslims closed weak , especially pork.

NEW YOIIK , Dec. IS , The week opened with
unusual activity and excitement on the Stock
exclmngo. The bales aggregated GG2.105
shares , the largest total for a very long time
past , The great feature of speculation was a
bad break In Industrial block , due to the ex
port movement of gold , which has lightened
up the money market and has caused the
bunks to UU > < * rluiluuto uguliut luu si'dii-ltles us
collateral In louns. Thn situation was ntrurp-
vatpd this morning by the Announcement Hint
13,000.000 pnld hnd been taken for shipment
to Europe by tomorrow's Menmor * . This
Alarmed smnll holders and evidently tnndo an
Iniptc.sslon on * omo of thp larger npnrators ,
who proceeded to liquidate. Immcdtntely. Ho-
foroihoy liHil ptosresscd very far In lids di
rection , Imnovnr , the members of llio shorts
took fright and there followed a general
scramble In got out. Chicago Gas was the
first to reflect the selling of long stock on a
largo senle.
It broke rapidly from ooy to S3 amid In-
tcn n excitement , and wns promptly followed
by n drop In Distilling nnd cnltlofeedliiR from
64 to S7 ox. dividend In National Cordage ,
common from 1.38M to 1.3I' ( , In National
Lead from 44-Slo30y , In National Starch ,
from I)2j ) ( to _ ! Hj , In Amprlcnn Hngar from
1.001.4 to 1,04',4 , InOonoml Electric from 1.124
to 1.091 } , and In National Linseed Oil from
40.V to 30'f.
A sharp drop naturally brought out a good
deal of stock on ulop orders , The bearish
feeling was Intensified by nn ndvnncu
In call loans to 40 per cent. These rates
did not. rule for any length of time , however ,
and before the close both local and foreign
banker.s wcro llbeial lenders nnd a decline to
G per cent ensued. After 1 o'clock prices re
covered confidence to a certain extent and a
rally eiiual to'5 to 44 pnr cent followed. In
this rally Chicago ( las. Distilling and Cattle-
feeding and National Coiduge were most
prominent. The market ruled comparatively
steady until near the clone , when a broker ,
usually employed by ibe acknowledged boar
leader , made a dlvo at Heading. 1'nder largo
offerings ho succeeded In breaking the stock
to ftl'J , against 54earlier In the day.
The old rumors about llipprefciem'Plnteiest
were revived , although It had been seml-ofllc-
lally stated that the mattei will not , bo con
sidered until some time next month. Tlio
break In Id-ailing had an emphatic oUVct 01
the whole market which closi < l very Inegular
nnd In thn main weak , Tlm comparative llrm-
ness of the railway list In HIP faeo of the
break In the Industrials was the subject of
general remark. As a rule Hit- losses In rail
way stocks for the day weio only Vi'ti'i ' per
cent , while the Industrials show net decrease
of 1"TC2I percent.

concerned , although prices wore not ouotalily
lower than at thu close of last week. The gen
erally Inferior quality of Iho offerings al o
had a depressing Inlfuenco on the market.
and iniiiip the sales look very low
"on paper. " There were absolutely no
choice cattlo-- hero , and but few that
could bo called good. Common to nrnl ly good

than at the close of last \\cek , und Iho move-
maul was free. Poor lo verv good fat cows and
heifers sold at from $1.00 to 12.70 , thu bulk of
the fair to good stuff selling at , from $1.00 to

George Fauss , charged with having mur
dered his mistress , Laura Day , several
months ago , was called for trial before the
criminal court yesterday. The day was de
voted to securing a jury of twelve men. The
panel was exhausted and a special venire of
twenty men was ordered , while the special
panel was produced in court at 13 o'clock , and
capiases were issued for ten members of the
regular panel , who had failed to report.
The prosecution will endeavor to convict
of murder in the llrst degree , alleging that
murder was done prcmcditatcdly. The de
fense will be insanity.
Fauss has completely recovered from his
recent illness , which was thought at the
time to bo very serious , and ho showed it
only by being extremely pale.
The mother , stepfather and brother of
Laura Day were present. The former two
will be placed upon the stand for the state.
