since January 1, 1900, S27.092 head of cattlo
2, 190,603 hogs and 1,274,002 head of sheep.
Theso figures show an Increase of 188,899
sheep on compared with tho yeni
1S99, but a decrease of 9,000
cattlo and 14,000 hogs la shown. Notwith
standing this decrease business has been
good nt tho yards throughout tho year.
Thoso who aro in a position to know as
sert that tho shorlago of cattlo on (he west
ern ranges coupled with the unusual de
mand caused tho cattlo deficit. Then again
tho opening of tho now Cudahy house at
Kansas City put a stop to tho shipment of
dinners to tho Cudnhy plant hore.
Cudahy formerly bought cattlo for the can
ning trndo and light hogs at Kansas City
and shipped them here for slaughter
All this has been stopped since the open
ing of tho Cudahy houso In Kansas City and
accounts to a great extent for tho falling
off In receipts of hogs and cattlo at tho

CHICAGO. Dec. 29. Wheat was 11 buoyant
market today, under tho stimulus of lighter
northwest receipts ntul, stubborn cables,
May closing lTifi2c over yesterday. Other
markets rallied In sympathy, corn closing
W&c, oats VifJVic and provisions l',4ff24c
higher.
For two und n half active, strenuous
hours, tho usual duration or tho Saturday
session of tho Hoard of Trade, wheat dis
played an efforvesccnt spirit. During tho
llrst hour thero was more speculative busi
ness than during thu wheat session of any
other day this week. The llrst symptoms
of buoyancy and strength brought back
from tho alluring Mock market nuiny de
serters from tho grain pit. May wheat
opened unchanged nt TaVic, but quickly re
sponded to buying orders from all sides of
tho pit. .May advanced, growing more nc
tlvo as It went, until 75l)o was bid. Over
74c. offerings were a bit freer, but they
quickly censed when tho breadth of the de
mand became apparent, und not until' the
prlco was well over 75o did the selling pres
sure assume lUllllclcnt weight to nlTect
prices. From tho top May cased off to 74ic,
but thero the clamor of shorts wns renewed
and a recovery ensued, May closing lMf2c
over yesterday at 7oV8ff75'4c. Tho founda
tion of the market's strength lay In the
recent stubborn limitless ot foreign mar
kets and, to a greater degree, in the falling
off In northwestern receipts. Tho week's
receipts at Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago aggregated 1,787 cars, 1,025 cars less
than tho previous week and 1,607 cars
under tho receipts at theso points tho cor
responding week a year ago. Heceipts wero
316 cars, ugatnst 614 last week and 111 a
year ago. Of theso Chicago reported 123
curs, 11 of contract grade. Theso figures
served us a basis for tho assertion that
northwestern elevators had at last entered
upon a prolonged reduction which would
dually substantiate the government report
that less than SS.uuO bushels had been raised
In the three great spring wheat states In
tho northwest. Primary receipts were 443,
00O bushels, compared with 426,000 u year
ago. Kxporters reported 25 loads taken.
Seaboard clearances in wheat nnd Hour
wero equal to 130.000 bushels
Corn was fairly active and Ann, but owed
most of Its strength to tho substantial rlso
In wheat. Modcrato receipts, 319 cars here,
smii'l country offerings nud a shipping do-
innim which continued in me iiicu 01 1110
advauco in values, wore contributory fac
tors. Somo heavy short lines wero reported
covered, or at leant nubstaiitlully reduced.
May sold between 26ic and 3CTc and closed
V6fi-Ho higher nt 3C?ift36Tic
Tho oatn market wuh wafted upward by
the favorable Jbrvczo which struck wheat
Tho market nt times was fulrly active

LONDON, Dec. SO. Tho Stock exchange
Inst week seemed to have every prospfct
of passing tho final settlement of the year
with can' nnd quietude. Although business
wns weak it had been fairly brisk 111 splto
of the holidays, with good buying for tho
new nccount, This promising outlook, how
ever, was turned Into gloom by yesterday's
collapse of the London and Globe Kinimcj
corporation, which disorganized tho mar
kets nnd resulted In thirteen failures, In
volving twenty-nlno members.
It Is reassuring, nevertheless, to note that
other prices wero but Ilttlo nfTected, the
chief movements being declines In some
Americans held by tho embarrassed firms,
Consols closed lower at 974. Foreigners
mostly lost fractionally. Homo rails, after
much Irregularity during tho week, closed

Tho fall In West Australians affected
other mines, tho leading descriptions of
South Africans going from to 1 1-16 lower.
Tho view taken on tho Stock exchange of
tho Whltnker Wright mines Is that both
tho London und Olobo nnd tho British Co
lumbian groups will bo compelled to liqui
date Immediately. In spite of this experts
who recently visited tho Luko View prop
erties bellevo Unit a mine like tho Luko
View, which lust yeur puld a dividend of

successfully. It Is nsserted In London that
not more than 40,000,0m) tons of two-ounce

Photographic Art Studies
In producing bountiful pictures, the photographer ib
now it decided rival of the painter. As works of art, the
photographs of 'lie Tonneson Sisters of Chicago, no doubt,
rank llrst. They have succeeded in securing the most
beautiful models for subjects and the results they obtain
are not Qiily most artistic but decidedly pleasing.
By purchasing an immense quantity of these photo
graphic art studies The Hee is almost able to give them
away to their readers. They do this in order to give their
readers one more advantage over other papers by allow
ing them the privilege of getting these pictures practi
cally for nothing.
Twelve Attractive Subjects
One of the most pleasing, is the picture of a winsome
little miss of probably four years carrying a tea tray, en
titled, "Grandma's Tea." "Haccante," is the title of an
other, the subject being one of ideal womanly beauty, dec
orated with the grape leaves at once suggestive of the dew
of the wine cups. Perhaps quite as beautiful, but of a de
cidedly different type, is the modest maiden whose down
cast eyes admire an uplifted rose. This picture is enti
tled "The Hose." Two studies which appeal decidedly to
the artistic sense are "Dolores" and "The Waif" both child
studies which remind one most forcibly of tlio works of the
great Murillo. Two other studies of decidedly artistic
merit as purely art studies are entitled, "Eastertide" and
"Bubbles." The child studies seem to be particularly fa
vored. "The New Baby," is one that has its humorous
side. The mother is tossing the youngest; member of tho
family while a three year old, who has formerly occupied
first place in the household stands aside pouting with
jealousy. "Our Pet," is a portrait study of another little
miss, who is the pride of someone's nursery. "Tho Old
Harpist's Treasure," brings into contrast young and old
age. Tho grandpa's face beside the harp is one of unu
sual strength, while the small child's face is one of more
than ordinary sweetness. "Husking Time," represents
some farmer's comely daughter appearing between the
stocks of corn. As a portrait of a beautiful young woman
"Heflection," is one of tho most popular of tho twelve stu
dios. WITH A COUPON AND TEW CEBITS
