CHICAGO , Nov. 23. Russia's small con
tribution to the world's shipments last week
turned a weak wheat market Into a strong
one today and resulted In a recovery of
nn early loss and an advance of 3-3' ' , c
besides. A feature of trading was the
heavy December liquidation. Corn and oats
were strong on the cash situation and
prospects of softer weather and advanced
nbout * ic each. Provisions closed un >
chanced.
The early tendency of wheat was toward
higher prices. Holders of December and
May wheat who were disposed to continue
the liquidation that made such a weak
market Saturday were deterred from sell
ing at first by the firmness shown by Liver
pool , where an opening 3-SIf'/4d in the
dccllno was moro than recovered by the
time trading commenced here. Liverpool
Blocks were reported today at only 600,000
bu. , showing a reduction for the week of
JSO.OOO bu. ami to this small amount of
available wheat was attributed the strength
of the English market.
Northwest rfrelpts were 1,693 cars , com
pared with 2,001 last , week and 1,443 a year
ngo. Chicago receipts were only 147 cars.
27 of contract grade. Hut after a short
period of steadiness , during which time the
smaller shorts covered moderately , the
market weakened and for over nn hnur
the tendency wan distinctly downward. De
cember developed the most weakness , atone
ono time selling at J4c discount under May.
Kvery trader with December "long" wheat
nn his handH appeared to bo anxious to
liquidate In advance of the regular de
livery day , and the pressure from this
notirco was altogether too heavy for the
limited demand to cope with. For this
reason the market became really weaker
than appeared warranted by the situation.
Outside selling was quite prominent dur
ing1 this period of liquidation , St. Louis
holders putting largo quantities of wheat
on the market. May opened Vic higher at
86 l-8fj 6ttc. and finally declined to 65ic , the
low point of the day. December started He
higher at Cfi 7-8 < fi 6c. It 'sold at CO i-Sc for
a moment or two then slowly slid off to
65Uc. About 1:30 : o'clock the market be-
Kan to Improve. Primary receipts were
very heavy and the visible Increase , 1,977,000
bu. , was considerably more than expected.
But there was a good export demand ,
about thlrty-flvo loads being disposed of
.t the seaboard , and 230,000 bu. here. This
drew attention to the figures on world's
hlpmonts , which again showed a big fallIng -
Ing off from Russian , ports. Out of a total
of 7,761,000 bu. shipped from all points to
Europe , Russia contributed but 992,000 bu. ,
while Canada and the United States sent
6,825,000 bu. It was figured that Russia had
not raised so large a crop as claimed or
has resolved to hold It for higher prices.
Either explanation was bullish , and had
considerable influence on the market.
Liquidation gradually ceased and the de
mand from shorts grew heavier. The mar
ket during the last hour's trading was de
cidedly stronger , prices advancing steadily
under an Increasing general demand and
highest prices were reached shortly before
the close. May advanced to 663-Sc and
closed at 66V4466 3-8c. December advanced
to 66 > 4c and closed at CB l-RfTGSVic
Corn developed a good deal of strength ,
holding firm even when wheat was In the
dumps. Local bulls Increased their lines
and shorts covered actively. Prospect of
oftor weather wan a bull Influence. Re-
celptR were very light , 173 cars , and the
seaboard and local demand excellent , sales
hero being put at 500,000 bu. The market
Increased In strength as the session ad
vanced and1 highest prices prevailed nt the
clone. May ranged from 337-80 to 31'/4o and
closed 5-8f ? 4c higher at 34V4e.
Oats were strong and scored a sharp ad-
vanco. Quite a large business was done ,
Interests which sold last week being prom
inent buyers. The strength was mostly in
eympathy with wheat and corn. Receipts
were light , 189 cars. Cash demand was ex
cellent , lt/0,000 / bu. being worked for export.
May rang-ed from 26 l-8o to 26c and closed
% o higher at 263-Sc.
In spiteof th < j fact that hog receipts
were , with ono exocptlon. the heaviest on
record , provisions were fairly , steady. .
Some weakness , was shown .at first , , but the
rally ( In corn proved more potent , than thq
hog' receipts and prices ultimately recov
ered , thq ma'rke.t being firm at the close.

Animated Baying Movement Carrie *
Price * Upward Cloning- Strong.
NEW YORK , Nov. 28.-An animated buy-
ng movement broke out In the last half
hour of today's stock market , which car
ried prices throughout the list buoyantly
above the previous high level and made
ho closing very strong. The demand was
broad nnd better distributed than at any
other time during the day and the mar
ket looked healthier and freer fram manip
ulation and less congested In a few proml-
icnt stocks than at any time during the
current upward movement.
Just what the motive was for the renewal
> f the buying was not very obvious. Per-
laps the sullen obstinacy of th market
n the period of dullness nnd reaction In
spots which followed the opening strength
md a largo Influence In encouraging re
newed commitments to the long side. The
receipt of some orders in commission
houses , which had been held back by the
damage to telegraph wires , was also n
factor. The market had already had its
opening spurt on the acceptance by Spain
of the peace terms offered by the United
States.
Prices for Americana have been sharply
advanced in London on the strength of this
'actor before the opening here. The pro-
'essional traders rule to sell on good news
> rought a Hood of offerings to realize on
ho opening advance by those who had
> een buying for several days past in an
ticipation of the Paris decision. The hears
seized the opportunity to attack a group
of speclalt'es , Including Manhattan , Brookr
yn Transit , Sugar , People's Gas and To-
jacco and worked declines In them of from
1 to 2 per cent.
The coalers , which have so often been
: he target of the bears , broke away from
their associations and ehowed unusual
strength on account of the belief In on
adjustment of difficulties over the control
of the trade. There was notable realizing
n the Atchlson Issues , which held them
QCk throughout the day. There was heav-
ncss also In the Federal Steel 'stocks and
at one time In Sugar. The reactionary
lendency carried prices before * It during
the middle of the day back to near Sat
urday's level. The recovery began with
the receipt of a number of strong traffic
returns , notably that of St. Paul for Oc
tober , which showed an increase in net
earnings of $306,676 , after an addition to
operating expenses of nearly $192,000 over
ast year's expenditures. There were good
statements , besides , for the third week In
November from Norfolk & Westrn , St.
Louis & San Francisco , Southern Railway ,
3enver & Rio Grande and for October from
Chesapeake & Ohio , besides an increase of
eastbound shipments from Chicago lost
week of 11,581 tons over the preceding week
and of 61,442 tons over the corresponding
i > eriod.of last year. The trunk lines felt
the benefit of this latter statcment.-.espe-
clally those of the south , the northern
lines feeling the adverse effect of the snow
storm. Baltimore & Ohio became conspicu
ous in this group on the late dealings.
The aggressive strength shown by Union
Pacific , Northern Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line Issues was rather convincing
evidence of progress In the efforts to heal
the differences between Northern Paclilc
and Oregon Navigation. There was a con
spicuous upward movement In Metropoli
tan Street Railway , carrying It to 1803-8 ,
In spite of the loss of earnings by the snow-
Tho'bond market was active and showed
n general upward tendency , in sympathy
with stocks. Total stiles. $3.830.000. United
States 4s declined V4 per cent , while the
5s advanced % per cent and the old 4s ,
registered , and the new 4s 1-8 per cent in
The Evening Post's London financial ca
ble says : All the stock makets hero were
cheerful today , with better prices , the
cheapness of money being the principal
factor. Americans show no signs of falling
off and there appears to be a little In
crease In the speculative account. Con-
tangoes on Americans at the settlement to
day averaged about 5 per cent , but Bt.
Paul was carried over at 1 per cent. The-
gold market was active today , $450,000 hav
ing been bought up outside for export , and
the demand being yet unsatisfied. In
quiries were received from New York as
to the price of the metal , but as It was 77s
lid. no business was. of course , possible.

CATTLE Today's receipts of cattle did
not fall much short of the record of a w k
ago , but they were way smaller than two
weeks ago. The quality of the cattle here
.did not average very htgn and there was
really very little in the way of news con
nected with the day's trading.
The cornfed cattle were largely half fat
or warmsd up stuff , with a few pretty uood
cornfeds. but nothing prime. A bunch of
1,123-pound sle rE of pretty fair quality , but
wanting In flesh , sold at $4.25. Half fat
cattle sold right around $4.60 and pretty
gcod , but not fancy , steers brought $4.90 ®
5.00. The prices paid were generally about
steady with last week , but common half fat
cattle were Inclined to be rather slow and
weak , as may be expected when there Is
anything pise in the yards that the buyers
can use In place of them. In addition to
the sixteen loads of cornfed stuers there
were about ten loads of western graisera
good enough for killers. The market on
that kind waa also just about steady , with
no quotable change.
Something like twenty or twenty-five
loads of cows and helferc were reported on
sale. The market on the good kinds was
steady and fairly active , but canncrs were
Inclined to drag a little and the market. If
anything , was easier on that kind. One
sizeable bunch of cows of fair quality sold
at $3.50 and some cows and heifers at $3.53.
A string of good heifers sold up to $3.90.
Canners went all the way from $2.25 up to
13.00.
Good stock cattle and feeders sold at
about -steady prices. While there did not
appear to be any very active demand , and
while the general trade was slow , buyers
went about the yard ? and picked out such
as pleased them , for which they paid about
the same prices as prevailed at th ; close
of last week. The common and less de
sirable cattle were poor sellers and holders
of e-uch found it dlflicult to unload and they
were generally calllngr the market a little
lower on that kind. In spite , of the ap
parent indifference of buyers the most of
the cattle changed hands before midday.
There were not many bulls or stags in the
yards , but what few there were sold at
just about steady prices , or possibly a little
better than on Saturday , as the market
right at the end of the week was not very
strong. Veal calves were also Just about
steady good veals bringing $6.50fcC.75.

HOGS The number of hogs reported In
Ihlr morning made a fair average run fern
n Monday , about the same number as was
on sale one nnd two weeks niro Thr > i1
mand was good nnd so far nt the movement
was concerned there was no fault to find
with the cundttlton of the market. Buyers
seemed to want as many hogs as they could
gel and the pens were cleared at an early
hour. When U caino to the niuuci of IUKCS
the market was not so pleasing to the sellIng -
Ing Interests , as values were generally
about 5u lower. Chicago reported n break
of lOc , and advices from nil selling points
Indicated a general decline all along the
line , due to largo receipts and the expecta
tion that there would be continued heavy
marketing of hoes during the next two or
three days.
The hags sold today at $3.15fl > 3.25 as
against J1.205T3.30 on Saturday. Heavy hogs
brought $3.15473.20 , while at the close of last
week the same kind went nt $3.20ijf3.25.
Cholcn light and medium weight loads sold
at $3.20 < iI3.25 today , and nt $3.2513.30 on
Saturday. While choice light hogs sell at
the top of the market nt this point It must
bo borne In mind that the word "choice"
means choice and not common or sklppy
pigs , which can bo depended upon to sell
nt the very bottom of the list.
It will be noted from the table of average
prices at ht-ad of column that the week
starts out with the market lOc lower than
It was at the beginning of last wcrk and
2Vj ( lower than two weeks ago , that la
November 7 , when the hogs sold at the
average price of $3.64 % . Hops sold today at
the lowest point touched since December
23 , 1897 , when the average price was
practically the same as today. Represent-

SHEEP There was a moderate run of
sheep , some ten or eleven cars being re
ported In , but It was small , compared with
a week ago , when the receipts footed up
twenty-three cars , or 5,616 head. The most
of the receipts consisted of killers , but
there were n few feeder sheep nnd lambs
among the offerings. The mnrkt was active
on killers and everything that would an
swer to that description sold In good
season at fully steady prices. A bunch of
the Hershcy sheep brought $3.70 , which waa
the same price that was paid for the same
sheep last week. Some of the same Mexi
can cornfed yearlings that sold on Friday

but there were a few more throw-outs , so
that It could not be callled any more , than
steady. Some good Utah wethers , part of

The market on feeding sheep was without
material change. There were not many
here , but so far as could be- judged from
appearances , not many were wanted.
Values are unchanged since the close of
last week.

AS TO STKIICI.NU MATCHES.
Strcnkn Pliotvliiir Where Llithti Were
Produced to Be Found Evrrywhere.
"I may bo wrong , " said the little woman
in the cross seat of the > car , "but I fully be-
llcvo that a man would etrlko a match on
the tombstone of his mother , " and her eyes
snapped ami her checks flushed at the Idea
of such n sacrilege.
Go where ono will , Into the most out-of-
the-way place or corner to Ignite a match ,
toll-tnlo streaks will be found as positive
proof that a match striker has been thcra
before. Raise the drapery about a mantel
end peer underneath and there again will
como In view the cab.illaUo brown tracks ,
the "blazed" way , as It were , of the tnatch-
atrlklng guild ,
On every sldo of lamp posts , fire plugs and
bulk window frames arc to be found the
trails of the successor of the tinder box and
steel. Letter boxes , street comers , every
pillar In the elevated structures , door Jamba ,
bottoms of chairs and edges of bureaus ,
washstands and dressing cases possess the
hloro or pyre plyphlcs.
Even church cxllllres are not sacred when
the hurry call Is It sued for a light. Even
altar rails have been visited by the same
touch. In 'fact , there Is no place too sacred
or too much out of the way not to have , at
one time or other , received the necessary
friction required to secure a light. When
Cleopatra's needle was placed In Central
park the apex bora traces , among the al
most obliterated hieroglyphics , of the passIng -
Ing of the match. It Is said that the same
modern signs can be found upon the topknot
of the sphinx and upon the top of the
pyramids.
Armed with a match and n alight blaze be
ing a necessity , the holder will make for the
nearest spot to obtain the necessary fric
tion. Upon the variety stage , even , the
production of flame- from the sulphur-tipped
sliver of wood Is utilized by queerly
"mail-cup" mummers to win the laugh of
the man who has paid to set ? . A made-up
bald head Is an attractive spot , and furnishes
the desired place for coaxing the flame and
bringing a laugh from the theater patrons.
H always ucceeds , and would have been
a star performance coeval with Joe Miller's
joke book had matches been In existence
at that time.
