CHICAGO , Jan. 7.-The pre-eminent li
fltifnco on the board today was the equnll
pollllcnl outlook In Europe. There wer
ollur buls ! ! ! > fjnlures , but this pralomtiiated
The big bear factor wno the financial sltun
tlon , The report that from $3.000,000 t
J5,000,000 of gold has been engaged for ex
port nldcil In weakening wheat for a tin
l > ut It soon became strong again , closln
lc higher than yesterday. Corn and oat
each gained He with wheat , while prov
Elons were heavy and declined.
Wheat was easier for n second or two a
the opening , but foon became strong. Rng
land was a liberal and anxious buyer nt th
ecabnnnl , taking forty boatloads at No\
York for prompt shipment ; country miller
Showed up In force here nnd puld 2'x.rj I
store over May price for 167,000 bu. of No
2 red ; the Argentine crop was said to b
damaged to the extent of SO per cent b
rain , nnd the Blocks of whcnt In Europe tin
afloat therefor arc 2,128,000 bu , less tha
there were ti week ago. There was mi
cloud on the horizon , however , thai wn
well watched : the llnanclnl situation Is a
Burning a ccrlous phase. Hut the news am
the situation , generally , fnvovod botte
prices. The Liverpool cable quoted when
higher nnd consols lower , duo. It was salt
to the critical cltuntlon In political affairs
and the advices cnnccinlng the Arguntln
crop wcro quite unsatisfactory. The re
cclpts In the northwest were fully 2W cm
Jess , than yesterday , nnd only twelve car
more than a week ago. The world's shlj
merlin last week were nlllclally reported i
6.W1.000 bu. , or about 700,000 bu. under th
estimated wefkly requirements. All th
tended to alarm short. ' , mil there was actlv
covering with only limited orfvrlng' and th
competition sent prices up easily. Afte
the first advance , however , there was fri-
realizing sales , which started the price o
Uc. Hut the late cables brought the new
of a further advance abroad , and the bnj
Ing fever n nln let in , nr.d thcr was niutlu
advance , which was well held , at least up t
the noon hour. May Fold parly nt te'/tC
then up gradually to CO'.ic ' , off to B9r8C ; , am
bnck to 60Vic , nnd at noon was CO'.Ac. Th
market was nervous during the last hou
and after selling off to from SDTic to 60o , Ma
mndo a spurt to COTic , and closed at Oc. )
The corn market was firm and a moderat
amounb of speculative business was done
May , which closed yesterday at from 2S'.4
to 28-'SiC , started at 2S'Jc. but soon llrme
up , rlf.lng to 2ST4c and closed nt that. Th
demand from thn cast for winter loadln
here was fairly Rood , and In the cash crnwi
local billed corn wns bringing 'ic more thn
It did yesterday. Country offerings wer
light.
Oats were fnlrly nctlve nnd strong , in
fluenced by corn. Shorts were the prlnc
pal buyers. May sold early at 19'lc , but ad
vanced till the finish , closing at from 194
to 19T&C.
Live stock receipts were consldcrnbl
larger than were expected , and In consequence
quenco hog products suffered conslderabl
in price. Compared with yesterday's lates
quotations today's closing sales showed tli
following declines : January pork , lOc ; February
ruary , 12 < / c ; lard. January , 7J4c ; May , EC

today's receipts were tnc heaviest In some
little time. There tvere moru . .nttlo anil It
looked more like biu ni ! s In th yr.nis than
any time since before the ho.irtays.
Thnt the situation haH Improvcil r.tut that
the demand is better was evidenced today
wl-.rti , In spite of do larger .eooipts. the
trade was fairly nc'ive. A'.l Kinds of de
sirable killing cattle were In mlr request.
The weakness In o' her markets caused an
easier feeling on steer ? , but the early sales
wore not far from sternly.
In some cases snlcvneil reported that they
received stronger pftecs for cow stuff , but
the buyers claimed trial theli urchascs on
on avrrago were Jist about steady with
yesterday.
Among the offerings were some right peed
cattle , both dressed beef steers and butch
ers' stock. As high as $1.00 was paid for
steers and $3.23 for cow stuff. Stockers
and feeders sold at nbout the same old
prices. Representative sales :
HKKF STEtmS.
IIOOB Tliero was a larKO gain In Iho receipts
of huts ns well us of cattle. 118 fresh loads
belne reported In the yards. The general con
ditions were on the side of the buyers today.
Provisions were lower , as well as other markets
and Iho buyers wrre able to net a. oonctetUort
of nbout Co on everything. The demand was
good at ( lie decline , and a larKe proportion of
all the hags hero enld early. Toward the close
It weakened off , and the market was very slow

AMUSEMENTS.
"A Railroad Ticket" will close Us very
successful engagement at ths Crelghton today
with two peffcrmances , afternoon and oven-
Ing.
For porno years past ono of the most wel
come attractions at our playhouses has been
the JIunlon brothers' "Fantasma. " Our old
friend returns to us this season at the Crelgh-
ton for four nights , commencing Sunday
matinee , January 12 , In a new dress , and with
many new featurea The company Includes
George Adams , the famous clown ; Nettle
Dlack , who plays the fairy quesn ; Paulle
Qltdden , a cornet soloist ; Sail I o Stephens , nni
tha McOonough brothers , grotesque dancers.
It Is said that on the whole "Fantasma"
will this year be better than ever before , as
besides the artists mentioned many special
ties have been engaged especially for tbla
season ,
A. M. Palmer's company , In "Trilby , "
madn an excellent Impression In Kansas City
last week , on Its return engagement there.
It will bo remembered that this organiza
tion , which appears at the Crelghton the
last half of tbo present week , created a
genuine furore at tlu.t lion to earlier In the
season , and although the cast has been
somewhat altered since that time , It would
seem that the changes have resulted In
strengthening the performance than other
wise.
The Kansas City Journal says : The performance -
formanco Is an excellent one , at least two
parts being moro satisfactorily presented
than in the original performances at this
theater. These parts are the Taffy , as done
by Mr , Canlleld , who wns the- Laird before ,
and Little Hllloo , played by Mr , Walter
Thomas. Little Blllce has never been played
by any ono to the satisfaction of the read
ers of the' book , but that Is duo to the fact
that this Is the ono part to which Mr. Pal
mer did not do full justice when he wrote
his play.
Miss Crane's wonderfully effective per
formance of Trilby grows In Impresslveness
as It extends In acquaintance. She has a
firm grasp of a very definite conception.
The new Svengall , Mr. Harry O. Carlton ,
makes clear the aim that It would bo Im
possible for a gooj character actor to fall
In this role. If Mr , Carlton had been the
first Svengall ho would have been accounted
great , but ho would not liavo been great.
Ho Is well suited physically , and has an
effective makeup.
Mr , Morrison still gives his admirable
performance of Qecko , and Miss Kelfferth
her unctuous delineation of Mine. Vlnard.
And Iho Times speaks of Harry a. Carlton
as "a masterful Svengall , " a character that
Is a precious gift to the slage.

CHICAGO , Jan. 7. The Post's W shlnR-
ton spccl-il says : Tlis fcnrs entertained ot
a run on the ROM rr.irrvo bid fair to bo real *
Ized , Information \\as received at the
Treasury department today that orders fop
the Importation of gold had been cancelled
nnd that $3,000.000 would go out by tomor
row's steamers. Hut that Is not the most
disquieting feature of the situation , ng pri
vate advices from New York tell ot largo
withdrawals for domestic sequestration.
This Is what the administration feared moro
than withdrawals for export. The latter
Is something that can bo gauged and estl-
mctcd. The former Indicates cither dis
trust or n move on the part of IntendlnR
bend holders to dww upon the government's
gold for money with which to pay for the
bonds. In either event the ends of the
treasury will be defeated , for It cannot af
ford to feed n local panic or supply the
wherewithal to feed Its own vitality. Atten
tion Is called to the domestic drain on the re
serve by the refusal of the officials nt the
sublrensury In New York to give Informa
tion as to the extent of the withdrawals.
This silence seems to bo work
ing nn effect the opposite of
what wns Intended nml "scare dispatches"
pet-red Into Washington this afternoon from
the Wall street news agencies asking for
the latest nbout the treasury situation. If
the reports from Now York should be con
firmed by liter advices It Is not Improbable -
able that the secretary of the treasury may
be forced to.abandon his popular loan pro-
K un nnd mnko another syndicate deal
within the next ten days or two weeks to
protect the reserve ag.ilnst annihilation.
The reserve will be down to $58,000,000 by
tomorrow night on known figures.

KANSAS CITY , Jan. 7. George. Leas , for
merly the proprietor of a bolkr works In

promised a rich reward for the service. Thla
girl , whoso mother was dead , the writer
added , wns soon to bJcome heir to n largo
fortune. Leas , suspicious of the Spaniard's
Intentions , wrote for further Information. It
Ins Just been received In n letter Issued by
Judgei : Llano nnd Jacas of the. district of
San Vlnccnte , ValencU , and addrfased to
tha local nuthccltles. It npks for the deposi

schcnio of half n hundred Spaniards to de
fraud several prominent Americans In differ-
: nt cltlen en the same proposition laid down
to the Kansas City man.
