CHICAGO , Nov. JO. Liquidation of De
cember wheat by discouraged holders was
the feature of today's trading on 'change.
December closed at 3-SQ'4c decline and
May l-8o under yesterday's price. Corn
closed l-80'lc ' lower. Oats closed a shade
lilgher. Provisions advanced 7',4Q10c.
Opening prices In wheat showed slight
recessions from yesterday'a closing figures ,
May started 1-So lower at C5i@C5 7-Sc and
December l-8o lower at 656-8c. Trading
was remarkable only for Its extreme dull
ness. The early news was of a decidedly
bearish character , but It did not result In
much Increase of liquidation during the
tnornlng. There was , however , an almost
total lack of support and for some tlmo
following the opening the market showed
a drooping tendency. May after selling at
C5 7-8 CGc , Immediately after the opening ,
elowly declined to 65&C. December showed
no buoyancy whatever. It declined to
KT. 3-8o and was maintained with some dif
ficulty nt that point. Liverpool , by the
time trading commenced here , showed % ®
Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts were
1,554 cars compared with 328 lost week ,
when railroads were partly blockaded , and
715 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 123
cars , fifteen of contract grade. About 11
o'clock a moderate buying demand was
caused by the excellent local cash business
nnd reports of heavy seaboard engage
ments for export , nnd for over an hour
prices nftcr advancing slightly were well
maintained. May reached the highest
point of the day CGVic about 11:30 : , nnd
December held comparatively firm at 654c.
Bales of 10,000 bushels for export were re
ported hero nnd New York reported eighty
loads engaged. Later this was Increased
to 100 load ? . Total Atlantic clearances
were put at 892,000 bushels. Coarse grains
exhibited some strength about this time ,
which was a further assistance. In tin )
last hour of trading the market grew quite
weak again and continued so to the close.
During this time liquidation of December
by tired local holders and outside Interests
became prominent. There was also selling
by elevator Interests of both December anu )
May. Bulls were evidently discouraged at
the difficulty In maintaining prices and
threw over all the market could carry and
more too. December declined to 051-8 ®
C5Mc and closed nt 63',463 3-8c. May sold .
to C5 5-80C5- and closed at 65)1005 7-8c.
Corn was irregular. Starting rather weak
because clear , cold weather prevailed , the
market became stronger on the excellent
cash and export business and on storm
predictions nnd a fair advance was scored. ,
This was maintained until late In the ses-
eion , when the slump In wheat started i
liquidation nnd the advantage was lost. |
Kocelpta were light 176 cars. The seaboard
claimed ninety loads taken for export.
There was a good demand for December
from shipping houses. May closed 1-8@U < >
lower at aiV4034 3-8c.
A good business was done In oats. The
Interest centprcd In the December delivery ,
which Jumped 1 cent as the result of a lit
tle buying. The bullish factors were light
Blocks and the' small country movement.
Receipts were 150 cars. BPSI prices were
not maintained , but the market was steady
nt the close. May ranged from 26Hc to
26 7-S027C and closed a shade higher at
2Gi26 7-8c.
Provisions were exceedingly strong , con
sidering the unfavorable surroundings.
Jlog receipts were large , but offerings of
provisions were small even from packers ,
Indicating that packers needed nil supplies
to nil earlier sale ? . Room traders were
moderate buyers of the more distant fu
tures. At the close January pork was lOc
higher at $9.17U. January lard 7Hc higher
nt $5.05 and January ribs 7V4c higher nt

OPERATIONS IN STOCKS AND BONDS.
GaUKCil l y Financial SMnn-
tlon Alirontl Gold for America ,
NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-The market for
stocks In Wall street hinged very largely
today on the financial situation abroad.
Berlin was again evidently the source of
the pressure for accommodation and the
urgent needs resulted In the sympathetic
hardening of the rates for money at Lon
don nnd Paris , call money at London rising
to 3 per cent. The price of gold bars rose
an additional fraction In London , but gold
to the amount of $3,040,000 was withdrawn
from the Bank of England. Of this amount
$1,000,000 was shipped to the United States
and probably the rest went to Germany.
The engagement for tin United States
was the outcome of the recent tendency
toward lower rates for money at foreign
centers , which left to narrow a margin of
protlts on the withholding of the exchange ,
which Is constantly accumulating at New
York as n result of the continued heavy
exports of merchandise that the movement
of gold Is necessary to meet the obllgu-
tlons. The rise In the money rnto In London -
don yesterday effected a margin of profits
on loans made abroad and the result was
seen In a rise In sterling exchange In New
York , reflecting a renewed demand for investment -
vestment In sterling , which will neces
sarily put an end to the gold movement
for the present. The Incident may be accepted -
cepted as nn admonition to the foreign
money markets that they must pay a good
rote of interest If they want the use of
the credits established by this country's
favorable trade balance.
Otherwise the activity of business at
home nnd the needs for financing enormous
consolidations and the formation of huge
new corporations will necessitate the call
ing homo of these credits. The effect of
the tightening money markets abroad waste
to throw a burden of liquidation on the
local stock market , the International
stocks , of course , showing greatest weak
ness. In view of the large German hold
ings of Northern Pacific it was perhaps
natural that this stock should be most
acutely affected. But there remains some
feeling of apprehension still over the rela
tions between Northern Paclllo and Its
competitors. .
The story reported to account for the
strength of Union Pacific of n plan for the
exchange of Oregon Short Line stock for
Union Pacific common stock indicates
rather an aggressive strengthening of re
sources than a resignation to an accom
plished agreement , as the Oregon Short
line owns a majority of common stock of
Oregon Navigation , thus insuring nn out
look for Union Pacific to the northwest
const. The latter strength In the market
radiated from Union Paclllc. Sugars
strength was due to the rumors of consol
idation with the Glucose company. Rubber
stocks made the response to the Prevail
ing gum shoe weather. General Klectrlc
advanced on belief of a pending disburse
ment of accumulated dividends on the pre
ferred slock. There was strength also In
a few of the obscure low-priced stocks.
The rise In Manhattan was unexplained.
The declines wore largely recovered but
the day's net changes were decidedly

LONDON , Nov. 30. The market for
American securities fluctuated somewhat
after a steady opening and then declined ,
owing to the Inactivity of operators. The
closing tone was quiet , but steady. Gold to
the amount of 728,000 was withdrawn from
the Bank of England today for shipment to
Germany and the United States. Consols
for money and the account opened 9-16
lower today. The weakness was due to ex
pected large gold exhortations , it Is be
lieved , for Germany. The market for
American securities opened dull and lower.
Gold is quoted at Buenos Ayres at 115.50.
Rate of discount in the open market for
both short and three months' bills has ad
vanced to 3G-803H per cent.

Wool Market.
BOSTON , Nov. 30. The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool market : Notwithstanding the In
terruption to business caused by the
Thanksgiving holiday and the fierce storm ,
the volume of trade during the lust week ,
has reached a very fair aggregation of
sales , A more hopeful feeling Is noticed ,
due partly to the more seasonable weather
and the belief that this betokens a snug ,
better market , which will necessitate an
increased sale of wool. Stocks of woolen
on the I3oston market are higher , but on
the other hand It must be remembered that
manufacturers , taken as a whole , are not
heavily stocked. The opening of the heavy
weight season is thus looked forward to with
outsldo interest , and It can be easily soon
how much of a factor the weather Is likely
to be In the course of the next month or
two The sales of wool in Boston amount
to 2,615,000 pounds domestic , and 678,200
pounds foreign , making a total of 3,64)DOO
pounds , against a total of 3,879,000 for the
previous week , and a total of 4,652,000
pounds for the corresponding week last
year. Sales since January 1 , 1S9S , amount
to 121,959,510 pounds , against 350,514,000
pounds last year , at this time.

GENERAL There Is not enough live
stock coming to this market to keep the
packing houses running anywhere near
their full capacity. Almost every day they
are compelled to ship In stock from other
markets. Today the packers received
seventeen cars of cattle from Kansas City
tnd nineteen double decks of hogs. There
Is an excellent demand here for all kinds
of stock cattle , hogs and sheep , and a de
mand that Is more than equal to the sup
ply.
CATTLE Receipts of cattle looked small
today , as compared with yesterday , and
there was also a falling off as compared
with a week ago. The market as a whole
did not show much change , and the trade ,
speaking In a general way , was of an en
tirely satisfactory character.
There was a good demand for beef steers ,
both cornfed and grasser ? , on the part of
local packers , and they were not long In
clearing the pens of everything that was
In any way desirable. Values did not
show any quotable change , as compared
with yesterday , In fact , there has been no
change in prices on that kind of cattle
this week , nnd arrivals have sold In about
the same notches all the week so far. Some
right good beeves brought J5.15 , the ton
being the same as yesterday. Pretty good
cattle brought right around J4.90. and the
medium to common kinds from J4.Go down.
Some grass westerns sold at J4.00.
Cows and heifers were In good demand , II
choice , nnd the market , If anything , was a
llttlo more active on that kind of cattle
than yesterday , with a stronger tendency.
At the same time canners , especially the
more common kinds , were slow and weak , .
as noted yesterday , and It would bo safe
to call them 10S15C lower for the week.
Bulls and stags were In fair demand at
8 The country demand proved a little bet
ter yesterday , and speculators sold quite a
cattle , which
good many stock and feeding
gave them courage to operate a little more
freolv this morning. The result was that
there seemed to be a little bUter feeling
In the feeder trade , and desirable kinds
moved off a llttlo more freely than yester
day or the day before. Operators are pre
dicting a better demand for feeding cattle
in the near future , especially If the weather
turns a little warmer. Representative

HOC1B Arrivals were o llttlo larger today
han yesterday , and more than double what
rtey were a week ngo. Of the number re-
elved. however , there were nineteen double
ecks consigned direct to packers , so that
here was only about an average Wednes-
ay's offerings. The market as a whole
as In very satisfactory condition. Packers
II wanted hogs , and a good many of them ,
nd all seemed to feel that there were not
nough to go the round * . The result was
hat they were all out early and the mar- :
et was strong and active from start to
nlsh , closing at the high point. ,
It was moro of a J3.20 market even than
yesterday , and the the big end of the hogs
wunt at that price. Ilenvy and medium
weight packers sold mostly at J3.20. with
a few rough loads at J.t.1,4. Good light
nnd butcher weight loads brought J3.22fcU ! >
3.25 , and n light sort J3.30. Yesterday thu
hog < i brought about the pamo range of
prices , though the extreme top was nut ns
nigh by 6c. Yesterday the average of all
the sales was only Ic lower than on Monday
and today Itsus about that much higher ,
so that there has been almost no change
In values since the first day of the week ,
The market Is now 22 > ic lowur than It
was on Wednesday of last week. A year
ngo today the average price of hogs was
J3.27 , two yours itgo J3.3 < , three years ngo
J3.40 nnd four years ngo jl.39. Representa

the regiments In the Department ot the
Missouri will bo filled up to nearly war
'ootlng by January 1. This means there

Tooting has been about 4,500 men. He says
Port Crook by the first of the year will
lave 1,300 men and officers , which la the
war footing for a regiment. He reports re
cruits coming In rapidly at all the posts
in the department , notwithstanding the
many stories of mismanagement and bad
treatment of the troops during the late
war.

Lieutenant L. A. Dorrlngton , who has been
temporarily assigned to duty at army head
quarters , will have a chance to utilize his
legal education and will be engaged for a
time reviewing the records In a number of
court-martial cases.
It may interest the friends of General
Copplnger to know that the old veteran la
resting himself at Georgetown , D. C. , where
ils two boys are attending school. It is
believed that eventually bo will purchase a
comfortable pleaco near Long Island , or in
Westchester county , New York , where there
is a sea front , and make that his home.
His early life having been spent within the
sound of the sea waves , he still has a long
ing for salt water , which tempts him to
secure a homo somewhere'In the locality
mentioned.
A story la told among the army men In
this city of General Schwan , formerly at
tached to the Department of the Missouri.
Ho was in command of an Independent de
tachment in Porto Rico and bad a stiff two
hours' fight with the Spaniards , whose force
greatly outnumbered his. The general In-
elated on being right In front where he
could hear the lullaby of the Mausers , and
where the general was hU staff officers
were also. One little officer without much
experience was not enraptured with the sit
uation , but not wishing to make any com
plaint himself , thought to use some di
plomacy by suggesting to the general that
ho ought to cxcrdso more regard for his
personal safety. He said :
"General , don't you think It would be
better If you occupied a less exposed posi
tion a little farther to the rear , where there
would not be so much liability of your be
ing hit by one of the enemy's bullets ? "
"Dy blankety blank , " replied the general -
eral , "I am going to remain right hero un
til ! I see what Is coming out of this flzht. "
lie kept his word , too , and the staff offlceri
remained with him.
Cotonel C. J. Bills of Falrbury , late of the
Second Nebraska volunteer * , was a visitor
it army headquarters yesterday. While
.here he met a score or more of his old com-
nand who were after their discharge papcn
aid , a final financial accounting with thi
overnment.
