CHICAGO. Jan. 10.-A light speculative
demand today and bearish news , both do-
nustlc and foreign , caused a decline In
wheat. May closed % c lower ; corn lost > ic
end oats left off a shade lower ; pork and
ribs advanced Do each and lard gained 2',4c.
Weakness and lower quotations at Liver
pool , notwithstanding the. ilrmness dis
played here yesterday , started wheat a
< rlllo lower. There were a few buying or
ders at the start , however , and as there
was very little wheat for sale May , which
opened H/io lower at 702"0ic ' , climbed
lowly and laboriously to 71'fcc. ' When the
Initial buying orders were out of the way
prices began to weaken and May sank Ir
regularly but determinedly to 70'/4y70c ' ,
Heavy arrivals was given as the cause of
a. decline of UffV&d at Liverpool. Chicago
received 141 cars , eight of which were con
tract. Receipts In the northwest amounted
to 430 cars , compared wltn 337 for the cor
responding day a year ago. Primary west
ern market receipts weie 077,000 bushels ,
ngalnst 333,000 last year ,
Bradi'trcel's reported 131,000 bushels In-
ctcaso the same week of the previous year ,
tieaboard clearances of wncat and Hour
were smaller than their recent average ,
amounting In wheat and flour to 410,000
bushels. Speculative activity from the out-
uhlo was sadly and conspicuously absent
and even the local crowd appeared tired of
trying to guess the next vagary of a mar
ket swayed alternately by a dull shipping
demand and certain possibilities connected
with European dependence on this country
lor supplies.
Russian stocks of wheat were reported at
10,334,000 bushels , against 14,000.000 bushels
December 1 and lfi.000,000 bushels a year
ago. More favorable weather was reported
from Argentina and the crop situation
there was said to have been greatly Im
proved , with prospects of a large export
from that country. The market wnH de
pressed by the average bcarlshness of the
information and May declined to 70i70V4c
and closed at 70Hc.
A poor cash demand and a large accumu
lation of stocks weakened corn. There was
a lialf-henrtcil attempt early to bull the
market , but offerings were plentiful and
buyers were very readily accommodated.
Puts yesterday were cloto to the market
and they tended to prevent any Important
breaks. Receipts were large 757 cars. May
opened tt@c lower at Sij JJSfiiic.
With no selling pressure and a scattered
outside demand for July , oats ruled firm.
The range was small and prices Just about
held their own. May began Uc down nt
27c , sold sparingly at 27tt < iJ27-c , rallied to
27 * 0 and closed at 275i27'/4c. buyers.
An Improved export demand for meats
nnd higher prices for hogs strengthened
provisions. Re-purchasing by commission
Siouses who were recent sellers was also an
Influence. The early advance was modified
eomewhat by the heaviness of grains , but
Homo of the day's gains were still adhering
to the market at the close of the session.
Way pork opened 5fZ7K'C nlgher nt $10.00 ®

Tucnilny the Fifth Million 'Share Day
In l-'lftcen Yearn.
NEW YORK , Jan. 10. For the first time
In the history of the Stock exchange there
was trading In over 1,000,000 shares on two
successive days , today being the flfth
million-share day In fifteen years.
Practically all the railways , except Atchl-
son preferred , showed gains of a point nt
one time or another In the day. In the
late selling movement , when the specialties
were hammered , some of the advances were
lost nnd In special cases , as In Missouri
Pacific nnd Kansas & Texas preferred , the
ontlro gain was wiped out. Most of the
grangers touched the highest prices yet
reached In the current movement. The
most conspicuous advances among the rail
ways were the Great Northern preferred ,
which touched the extreme of 5',4 points ,
and Manhattan over 3 and Reading 2 points
each.
The extreme rlso among the specialties
was that of New York Air Brake , 10'4
points , while Standard Distilling , Standard
Rope nnd Twine nnd Bay State Can were
very strong. Sugar , Tobacco , Federal
Steel , American Spirits and Laclede Gas
lost ground. There was a tone of confi
dence at the opening , although there wns
evidence of much foreign and domestic
realizing , which , In spots , brought reces
sions , which , however , were generally
quickly recovered. The prices of most In
ternational stocks were shaded nnd it was
estimated that London sold some 60.000
shares , mostly Atchlsons , while there wcro
some purchases from that quarter of Ches
apeake & Ohio , nnd Southern Railway. Al
together It Is estimated that the arbitrage
business of yesterday and today footed up
to 190,000 share ? .
A number of high grade1 bonds were sold
for continental account. Locally traders
and commission houses were considerable
purchasers of Feme stocks , while they real
ized on others. Favorable forecasts of
probable action on the Louisville dividend
tomorrow brought support to that stock.
It was said that the New York Air Urako
company had secured the contract for
equipping , In part nt least , the New York
Central railroad with air brakes , nnd to
this may be attributed the sensational rise
of the Air Brake stock. Much attention
was given to other specialties and the low-
priced railways.
The rise In Manhattan was accompanied
by the story that the money for equipping
the road with electricity had been raised
nnd that the Walker company would get
the contract. At one time some selling1 re
sulted from talk that the banks were using
extraordinary discrimination In making
loans on collateral , but later interviews
with bankers were disseminated tending to
show that liberal terms were offered on
proper loans. California shipments of
money to this center , " which had consider
able influence on the market last week ,
were said to be continued. Some of the
most Important interests In the street wcro
prominent buyers on the early reaction.
These purchases were largely confined to
the grangers. This was accompanied by
some realizing In other quarters of the
market. The advance In General Electric

CATTLE Yestercay It was remarked
that a. liberal run of cattle would bo some
thing In the nature of a surprise , but the
surprise came sooner than expected. To
day brought the first good run of the sea
son nnd the largest run of any day since
the latter part of November. Of the cattle
reported In , twenty-seven loads were con
signed direct to packers , which relieved
somewhat the number on sale , but did not
help the market any as It put the packers
on easy street as regards supplies and made
them more Independent than they might
otherwise have been.
There must have been close to forty
loads of cornfed beeves on sale , which was
the largest number In several \reeks. The
most of them were common to medium
kinds of half to two-thirds fat cattle , with
really good beeves scarce. Chicago and
other markets have been lower this week
and buyers took advantage of the situation
to take off here , so that the market was all
of 10015c lower on the general run of
beeves. As a matter of course the best
cattle would show the least decline , while
common -warmed-up cattle , such as have
been selling close around $4.00 , caught it
bad , they got the full strength of the
decllno and more , too. Under , the
circumstances It was quite natural that the
market should bo rather slow , as sellers
were backward about making any more
concession than they were compelled to.
The market on cows and lielfurs was
active and fully steady , in spite of the
decllno on fat rattle and the large offer
ings. Buyers all seemed to want supplies
and they were out early and had the pens
practically cleared In good season. Bulls
also brought fully steady prices , some
would say strong , and the supply was aeon
exhausted. Venl calves brought the same
prices as yesterday , pretty good veals go
ing at JG.50.
Stackers and feeders , especially year
lings , were good sellers at steady prices.
The few hero soon changed hands , but
there were not enough to make much of a
showing in the market. Representative
sales :

HOGS Today's receipts of hogs at this
point were considerably larger than a
week ago In spite of the fact that the mar
ket Is lower now than It was then. Other
market points also reported good runs-
Chicago 20,000 , Kansas City IS.dOO , St. Louts
11,500 and St. Joseph 4.WO. The provision
market yef.erduy was no hlifhcr , and. with
liberal receipts at all selling points. It
would not seem us If there was any good
reason for any marked advance. How
ever , packers evidently came to the con
clusion all of a sudden that they wanted
the hogs and there was n general strength
ening of prices all along the line.
The market hero WHSI 6c higher on the
eeneral run of light and mixed loads and
MJlOc higher on th h t heavy. Moreover
the demand was very brlk t the ad
vance nnd the hogs changed hands as fast
ns the buyers could gel to them , BO that
practicalovtrythlng ! In the yards WHS
sold early In HIP morning. Good light nnd
light mixed loads' ' sold largely at 1145 and
up to $ .1.50 , as again ? ! I3.40ff3.45 yesterday ,
some right good Oregon hogs going t the
latter price. Good heavy and heavy mixed
loads sold at $3.50fl3.52 $ very largely , while
yesterday the sum * kind went at $3.45'f3.50.
Some prime butrluT weights brought $1.S2'4
6J.5fi nnd some prime heavy $ .1.60. Common
light nnd trnfhy hogs are vrry poor * rllcrs ,
ns has been remarked every day for a
week or more , and shippers would do well
to look nut for them ,
U will be noted that the hogs today sold
nt a wider spread than fur u long time
past nnd that the dlffe.renc between light
and heavy Is growing , with light at the
bottom. There nre only a few light lings
arriving nt this point , but the very low
price at which that kind U' ' selling In Kun-
fas City Is depressing the market here.
Today there were two double decks In
from there for packers nnd one double deck
from Hloux City. Local packers were of
fered by wire choice assorted light nt
Kansas City this morning at $3.35 , which
was way below what anything of the kind
? old for on this market.
Today's advance helped to make up n
part of the loss In values last week , but
the market Is still below what It was ono
wi ek ago , ns will be noted from the table
of average prices at head of column. Rep-
rcsentntltvo sales :
SHEEP About the same number of sheep
were reported in as yesterday nnd the mar
ket was also In about the name condition.
Buyers all wanted supplies nnd the market
proved to be active and fully steady. The
feeling was pretty good and buyers were
not long In effecting a clearance. Western
yearlings sold at J4.12V4 , some of them of
the same kind that brought that price yes
terday , borne pretty good western lambs

SCHEME TO H\ OFF CUBANS
Proposal is to Use Portion of Onstomi
Revenue for the Army ,
REVOLUTIONARY FORCES TO DISBAND
Drlrnntc from Culintt Amemhlr D -
nle the Storr thnt Hotucia la tin-
frlrnill- ( hi * Ann-rlcnim Oc
cupation n Necrmltr *
NEW YORK. Jon. 10. A special from
Washington says : Dr. Jose Antonio Friar ,
chairman of the finance commutes of the
Cuban assembly and ono of the leading
lawyers of the Island , has arrived In Wash
ington and will present to the Department
of State a plan for the settlement of th
llnanclal system of Cuba. This plan In
cludes a method of appropriating certain
revenue * toward the payment of the Cuban
soldiers when they nro disbanded and other
financial measures for the relief of the poor.
Dr. Friar Is a leading candidate for the
appointment of chief Justice , although It li
asserted that his mission In Washington at
this tlmo Is not to further his candidacy for
that office , but Is solely for the purpoao of
presenting his financial plans.
"In addition to the financial scheme which
we have proposed , " said Dr. Friar , "Dr.
Capote , president of the Cuban assembly ,
has , with others , worked out an admirable
plan for the government of the Island , drawn
from the knowledge of the existing laws and
practices of the courts and various local
oIIlciM , and which will be submitted to the
United States.
"Already General Drooko has surrounded
himself with some of the ablest Cuban lead
ers as advisers. They realize that for the
present American Intervention Is necessary.
The leaders have become reconciled to It
and the great mass of the people are steadily
coming to take this view of the matter. I
regard It as necessary , however , that Cubans
should be made the police officers In all the
largo cities for the reason that they under
stand the people , know who the malefactor *
e.e , are able better to apprehend them and
prevent trouble than the Americans.
"General Gomez has been grossly misrep
resented In a great many respects. I have
reason to know that he la not anti-American ,
as has been charged against him. The
etatements that ho has opposed American
Intervention I know to bo absolutely and
maliciously false. General Gomez Is a true
patriot ; he has made as many sacrifices as
any living or dead for the cause of Cuban
Independence and In this etatement I am
In no way belittling the grand efforts and
the noble sacrifices of the many martyrs to
the cause of Cuban liberty. Patriot as ho
Is , he realized that American Intervention
at this tlmo Is a. necessity. He sees It as
do other Cuban leaders and as It Is a necca.
elty he not only tolerates It without objec
tion , but is In favor of It. "
SEVERAL AFTER THE HONOR
St. Lonli In the I.rn.l for Location of
the LoulnlHiin I'D relieve
Celebration.
ST. LOUIS , Jan. 10. Delegates from nearly
all the states and territories In the "Louis
iana purchase" have assembled In St. Louis
In response to an Invitation of Governor
Stephens , to decide upon the place and
manner of celebrating the ono hundredth an
niversary of that Important event In history.
It was expected that the question would bo
settled today , but owing to the fact that
delegates from Colorado and Minnesota have
not all arrived and will not get in until late
this afternoon It will probably go over until
tomorrow. Governor Stophcna will not be
able to attend tbe convention , but has desig
nated Attorney General Crow to act In hit
place. The majority of the delegates pres
ent express themselves In favor of selectIng -
Ing St. Louis as the city In which to hold the
celebration. New Orleans Is In the field for
the honor and Its delegates are working
hard. Denver was also an aspirant , but Is
now out of the race. Prom Kansas City the
Colorado delegation , cnrouto to St. Louis , re
ceived the following ahortly 'before ' noon to
day :
J. B. Hunter and myself , delegates from
Denver , will arrive In St. Louis at 6:15 : p. m. ,
Tuesday. If question of place occurs today ,
you are authorized to record our votes for
St. Louis. ( Signed ) P. J. SOURS.
John C. Wilkinson , president of the Busi
ness Men's league of St. Louis , called the
convention to order In the parlors of the
Southern hotel shortly after noon. Bishop
D. S. Tuttle eloquently Invoked the dlvlno
blessing , the delegates rising. The call of
the convention was read by Colonel F. M.
Sterrett. On behalf of Governor Stephens ,
who was unable to be present. Attorney
General Crow delivered an address welcom
ing the delegates to St. Louis. Hon. John
Fitzpatrlck of New Orleans was then In
troduced as temporary chairman , with Jo-
scph Cox of St. Louis as secretary. After
the appointment of committees on creden
tials , permanent organization and resolu
tions , a recess for lunch was taken.
