CHICAOO , Dec. 81-Wherit bid the old
year Koodbye with Its bull hat cocked
on the eldo of Its head and Its nose In the
nlr In tlcrHon of the dlncomfllrd beais. It
cloKttl with H gain of % c. nfler nn early
decline of Uc. Corn nnd oats did not
change their vnlue materially for future
deliveries , but the cash Bluff wns weaker.
J'rovMons sold off on Increased receipts of
hog ! ) .
Wheat wa < unsoltlcd , showing decided
weakness cnrly In the sis lon nnd selling off
Uc , but made n sharp reaction Inter and
went up % c from the low point , but cased
oft foine. The only wenk factor airly was
the Liverpool cable- , which quoted Unit mar
ket as opening higher , but losing nil the
Improvement. Hut Undo was dull , the flnan.
clal outlook unsatisfactory , with money said
to be growing more dimcult to borrow and
Interest rates hardening , nnd 111 tomorrow
will be a holiday , the long" , In Uew of
Iho nervous uncertainty attending the mar
ket , began to liquidate and even up , which
vr.9 nn Important factor In bringing about
the early decline. Later , however , the trade
iKjgan to consider the real bull news of
Iho day. nnd Rood buying followed. The
world's slllpmcnts last week were officially
reported at only O.MKi.OOO bu. , or 1,400UUO
lii. ) lcs- than the citlmatcd weekly con
sumption. There win no contradiction of
yeuti'rdHy'H report on the big decreaoe In
tlfb English viable cupply , nnd there were
confirmatory reports of a wet Australian
harveft. Another strong factor wnn found
In the big clearances from New York
nearly COO.uOO bu. and then the shorts got
nervous nnd begun to buy , not being willing
to stnnd short over the holiday when
there was so much that was lui'.liih In the
air. New York sent heavy buying orders
nnd all domestic markets were on the. . up
grade. May weld from S3HC , off to Kc ) , then
up to fiOc , off to KSc , closing at D9)ic.
The business In the Btieculatlve depart
ment of the corn trade was dull , but prices
were held steady by the llrmnc1 * ! of wheat.
The cn h branch of the huilne" * was
heavy and depressed by the anticipated ef
fect of the adherence to tirlff rates which
the railroads are expected to observe from
the beginning of the new year. Through
billed carloads were fold at from \c to le
under yesterday's rates , and local billed
was Wc lower. December corn closed Vic
lower for the day , at 25'4c ; January lost
from 1fc , to ' , Jc , nnd May Is unchanged.
In ontu the trading In ftrtirres was mod
erate only , and only In the way of evening
im Irmli'M nrnvlmm fn thn hnlldnv. Mnv
moved over only a 3-lCo range from ton to
bottom , opening nt 19c , Helling up to IBJtc ,
olt to from ISTic to ISc , and closed at from
19c to lO'.ic ' , as against lOc on the day bo
foro.
Provisions , which advanced yeiterelny be
cause of DIP dny'B run of hogs being smaller
than expected , declined today because of
a disappointment of n totally different
character , the run of hogs reported from
the yards this morning being 27,000 head , In
place of 19,000 head , n expected. Trade
wat of the recent moderate volume , nnd
without ci-pcclal significance In the matter
of Individual operations. Compared with
yesterday's closing prices , the following de
clines have occurred : In January pork , 7'/4p ;
In May , 12'/4c ' ! January nnd May lard ,

NEW YORK. Dec. IIThe stock market todnv
wa * cocentlally a professional one , fn consequence
quence of the flnslnir of the jenr nml the even-
Ins up of contracts Incidental thereto. The
dominating Influence was the Impending Kotfrn-
menl bond Issue. The price if Ihe l > ohd M ex-
pecleil to net Ihe treasury alwul 3H per cent.
Tha agreement covern the delivery to Ihe treas
ury of gold from outside sources equivalent to
$ inOnooooo , with an option of an equal amount ,
To be exact. It calls fe > r n first Installment of
6,075,001) ounce * of gold , nnd for n similar In-
Mnllment If neceMnry. J. P. Morgan * Co ,
l\\r- managers of the sjndlcnte , will apportion U. *
allotments to the other member * , receiving n
commission of 1 per cent for their servlcef. The
all Itnrt.irtanf twnt ftl int tlif. new tlenl tfl thnl
the s > ndlcate iloes not guarantee to guard the
treasury gold reserve.
The confident sentiment that the treasury relief
measures would be effective caused the traders
to disregard lower quotations for Americans In
the Ixindon market. The dealings for that
account by the arbitrage housen were Insignifi
cant. Irlce In the local market Improved
sharply , chiefly on the covering of short cnn.
tracts , nnd some stocks , however , tm special In
fluences , nttrncted biDlnc for the long account ,
Hugar , for Inrtnnce , gained IS per cent on ic-
ports of advances In the prices of foreign nnd
domestic sugars. In the railway list the nil-
vnnc"s were grenlent In the grangers , the ap
preciations ranging from 1 to 2'i per ctnt. Ster
ling exchange rnle-4 were easier , nnd It wan re
ported that the last consignment of gold to
Europe , now on the way , would upon arrival
In Europe ) be Immediately rtshlpped to this coun
try , to IH ? emplnjed presumably In purchases ol
government bonds. Only $ VK,000 In gold wns
withdrawn today , that for shipment tn South
America Money on rail active , ranging between
S und 25 per cent until the close , when rales
fell ! 8 per cent , No applications , for clearing
lmu e loin certificates were made by the banks.
The market closed strong nnd nt the best prices
of the day. A drooping tendency chnrneterlred
the rnrly dealings In bonds , with the Union Pn-
cllln Issues conspicuously weak , In the final
dealings prlcen of Home of the speculative Issue-s
stiffened , nnd In some Instances the rallies were
material. The dealings for the day amounted to
$ l,2.4ooo.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram : A dull opening In stocks here today wns
succeeded by n steady doling. Messagen nre
said to have passed between the colonial ofllce
hero nnd the Trnnnvnul republic , the result of
which Is tn dispel the Idea of any serious trouble
there. American securities left off slightly under
last night's llguro as n rule , but Che npeiko A
Ohio advanced to 15 and St. Paul to G9 < * , the tone
nt the last being steady. The Impression here
Is that thn hand Issue only awaits the sanction
of President Cleveland to be closed. The price
IH snld to In- such that It will J leld a limit the
same rate of Interest ns the last loan. Applica
tion has been made at thi > Hank of England rel.
ntlvo to the price nl which eagles cnn be pur
chased , presumably In preparation uf possible
shipments from this side.

CATTLE The receipts of cattle were the
largest of any day since the mUcnt of the
holiday season , In fuel the largest since
December 20. .
Among the ofTerlriEB were some pretty
Kooil cornfcd cattle nnd ns hlijh ns * i ! >
was paid for one bunch , the top price-
realized for a full load of cattle tlnce
December 12 , when J4.50 was reached. Die
market on steer ) opened about steady nnd
the curly sales were made on yesterday H
basis of values. Later the market wised off
under the Innuence of lower markets nt
other points nnd the clo e wns fully lOc
lower and slow. The cattle , however , were
practically all sold before the cloM ! .
The market on butchers , ' stock did not
show any very material change. The de
mand for desirable cows nnd hclfora wns
good and the olTerlnes were mostly nil
taken early In the ; day nt steady prices.
Common nnd medium stuff was Blow
nnd. If anything , n little wenlc.
The offerings of slockers and feeders were
small nnd no new features were developed
bv the trade. The situation remain's In
about the Fnrnc condition from day to day.
Owing to the dllllculty of securing money ,
cash buyers arc not oVcrly plentiful , but
there are any number of good feeders who
want cattle If they can be hud on time.

the largest of any day nine ? December W. The
market opened very nearly tteiulj ( ! oed IIOBS
sold flcely at JJ.40 , the same au veslerduy. but
the proportion above the price : was not EH large ,
Toward the- close the unfuvwnbla re-ports from
other markets caused the niutKet here to weaken
and It was hard work to get over 53.35 for the
last end of the ; offerings. The murket as n

the bulk of the sales for the two data was
at the tiainei price , 1340. The market w.m falrlj

KANSAS , CITY , D.c. 31. David Crockett
Hoggsvlio was tax collector of Wyandotte
county , Kansas In 1S59 , nnd. who suddenly
llsappeared In that yoir with a shortage of
abtut $5,000 , returned to Kansas City today
nluntarlly to nrakc good tils shortages. He
ame with drafts and money aggregating over
10,000. Mr. Hoggs Is a son of L. W. Hoggs ,
vho was governor of the state of Missouri
n 1S34-3C. When he disappeared ho < n-
cred the confederate urrny and served under
General Forest tn the second Missouri
cavalry. He never communicated with hie
amlly. nnd all of them who are now llvlnir
suppose that he Is dead. He never Knew
vital became of hisson. . Mr. Hoggs' resl-
lence Is now at Montrose , Colo. He returned
to Kansas City solely In order to make good
rls fihortage. Incurred while acting as tax
collector of Wyjndotte county In 1S59. Mr.
Jnggs called upon General Jo Shelby to
day , and asked him to assist him tn making
arrangements for the settlement of his short
age. He said :
"General , I hav ? come all the way from
Colorado to settle this Indebtedness. I ab-
conded and used public funds. It la for-
; otten now ; nobody knows that I am In the
and of the living , hut I wjnt to make
cstltutlon. I corno to you to negotiate my
urrender. If I am to bs prosecuted for tlie
ollles of youth , as Frank James did
vhen he surrendered through Major John N.
Edwards to the governor of the state. I
o not vvant to bo prosecuted ; I want to
> ay back my shortage , and If I can do so
will be nbl ? to clear my conscience. I am
n old man now , and I want to die with a
lear record. "
General Shelby was visibly affected. The
otter promised to do what ho could for
loggs , and the two parted to meet at on
lipolntcd hour later to settle the land stand-
ng deficit.
Piles of people have piles , but Levvltt's
Witch Hazel Salva will cure them.
