. Prloee on Board f Trade.
CHICAGO. Dec. 10. Weakness In the
took market and Sharp declines In wheat

weakness today in the local wheat mar
ket. The May delivery closed at a net
loss of 4rc. Corn waa Ho higher. Oats
were oft He. Provisions were 100 to U6o
-nlt-her. el
The Wheat market opened weak and with
the exception of. a, lew alight rallies on
covering by shorts, continued heavy all
iy. Trade was tight, and prices fluctu
ated within a, range of Ho. Severe declines
.at Liverpool and In the continental markets
caused the early weakness, and later the
lack export demand, weakness in the stock
market, i favorable weather In 'Argentina
and liberal primary receipts, .contributed to
force prices downward. The market closed
weak and - near the lowest point. May
opened HtfSo lower at. tl.OO&l.OOV . sold
between 99o and 8I.O04, and closed at
tVSicfcSl.OO. Clearances of wheat and flour

ware (65,000 bu., against 960,000 bu. on the
am day last year. Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chicas-o reported receipts of 911 cara.
agalnat 1,143 Cara last week and 049 cara a
year ago. .
The early corn market was weak be
cause of lower cablea.and the decline In
wheat. lyiter the market became firm on
the expectation that receipts will soon
diminish. The cloce was firm. May opened
JttvHe lower at MH'ic. advanced to

. neas In sympathy with wheat, but thia-
tendency was partially orrset by small
receipts.) May opened unchanged at 63c,
old between E2Vii6274' and 63Vuv39i,o. and
closed at 62c. Local receipts were 293
cara. ,v
Provisions were easy at the opening be
cause of a UQ2SC decline In live hogs,
but a rally In hugs later brought about a

NEW YORK. Dee. 10,-The support for
the market, which has btien petsisled In
for some time past, was evidently aban
doned today, but whether voluntarily or
forcibly was not clear. There was further
calling of loans by the banks following that
of yesterday, and the call money rate was
run up to 26 per cent, competed with a
maximum rate of 20 per cent yesterdsy.
This had a bad effect on speculative senti
ment, but the forces of the depression was
more direct than through effect on senti
ment, i
The selling converged especially on tho
Hill stocks and Reading, and as those
stocks had been picked out for the most
conspicuous operations In supporting the
advance, their sudden relapse was of
marked sympathetic effect on the whole
market. Borne relatlvea resistance was
shown by the coppers, which might be ac
counted for by the large ahort Interest In
those stocks waiting to cover onthe de
cline. There was aome evidence also of
direct transfer of large accounts from the
Hill atocks into the Harriman Pacifies.
The motives for the withdrawal of call
loan credits by the banks were not clearly
understood and were, perhaps, of added un
favorable effect for that reason. The pub
lication In detail of the reports of the New
York City national banka In response to
the call of the controller of the currency
revealed as heavy an impairment of re
sources. In the case of one or two on
which pressure was especially severe, that
a bad Impression was caused, although the
preaent solvency of these banks was not
thrown open to any doubt. Reports of ne
gotiations on foot for strengthening or con
solidating these Institutions Increased the
attention given to the subject. It was
surmised furthermore that a call from the
state banking department , for reports of
condition of tne state banks nd trust com
panies was In contemplation, and this
would naturally have the effect of prompt
ing some strenB-thenlna- of nosltlon nv those
Institutions. The compiled digest of the
snowing of the New York City national
banks was held to confirm the claim of the
large resources supplied by the New Tork
banks to -the Interior during the period of
strain. Of the total Increase In deposits
shown on December 1. compared with
August 22 of 178.U6.Wtt, there Is Included an
Increase of some 846.853,800 In government
deposits In the clearing house banks, while
in the Items "due to banks, etc.," there
was a decrease of t'.M,240,536. Specie snd
legal tenders, also, have actually fallen
86 i8,8S9 In spite of the enormous Inflow
of Imported gold and the large sums of
cash transferred from the treasury depart
ment to New Tork bank vaults. With
this exhibit of the heavy drsln on New
York which the Interior demand has made,
financial sentiment Is sensitive to the large
continuance of that drain shown In the
persistent heavy transfers which are being
made to Interior points. This demand Is
keeping up the premium on currency and
was given part responsibility for the ac
tive calling of loans by the New York
banks today. The publication of the reports
of nations! banks by cities as thnv were
received at the office of the controller of
the ourrency Is demonstrating the fact that
the condition of th heavy reserves through
the Interior Is not universal, although a
general condition of strength was Indi
cated by first reports from unofficial
sources. The Pittsburg showing created a
bad Impression and that from some other
prominent centers proved disappointing.
The persistence of the premium on cur
rency and the neoessary delay In the re
sumption of rash payments by the banks
are disappointing. Tne government's fa
vorable estimate of the cotton crot had
but moderate effect In steadying stocks
and the day's decline In prices proved to .be
consiaeraDie.

LONDON, Dec. 10. Money was In better
supply and In quiet demand today. Dis
count? were firmer on the American da
mand for gold. With traders arranging the
details of the settlement, business on tne
slock exchange shrunk to small propor
tions. The failure of a small firm of
johbers did nut affect the markets, which
f;enerally were eaaler on -reports of fur
her gold engagements for New York and a
general lack of aupport. American aharee
were unlolereailng snd easy as a result of
the discouraging news from Wali street,
and fears of poaalble . reductions In the

LONDON, Deo. 10. WOOL The sixth
settles of the wool isales closed today.
Prices on the first day showed a declining
tendency and gradually eased during the
series. Merinos today closed' 10$lS per
cent and crossbred 7MrfM5 per eent below
the October average. Well grown wools
showed the least decline. The unsettled
financial situation, large supplies and the
unsatisfactory condition of some clips con
tributed to the weakness. During the series
66.000 bales were taken by the home trade,
66,000 bales by continental buyers and
2.000 bales were purchased for America.
Fifteen thousand bales were held over for
the next sales. At today's auction 8,259
bales, were offered. Competition was keen
and full rates were paid, particularly for
well grown new clips. Crossbreds Improved

CATTLE) Receipts cr cattle were quite
large at this point, with other markets re
porting fair runs for Tuesday. The re
ceipts here conslBtd of a little of every
thing except strictly good cattle, which
were few and far between. While there
was a sprinkling of rangers the receipts
consisted very largely of natives, cows
warmed-up steers, feeders and plenty of
trash. Advices from all selling points were
by no means encouraging and there seemed
to be a very pronounced feeling of dull
ness prevailing everywhere. Buyers at
this point evidently wanted some cattle,
but their orders were not sufficiently urgent
to cause them any anxiety and they were
very slow about getting out into tho yards
and equally slow about doing business after
they got there. The result was that the
forenoon was very well advanced before
any bualness whatever was transacted.
There was some Inquiry on the part of
ackers for good corn fed steers and the
etter ides were not very muoh different
from yesterday, there being some cattle
good enough to bring 16.60. On the other
hand the common to medium grades were
slow all day, buyers being wide apart In
their bids. In some cases there was a
spread of as much- as 80c between the bids
of different buyers on the same bunch of
cattle, making It very hard to give an
exact quotation for the market- Weak
to lOo lower would perhaps about covsr the
ground., i - -
Cows and heifers suffered the most de
cline. Outside of the very best kinds of
fat oows and heifers, which were steady,
the market was lolto lower than yester
day knd it - was late before A clearance
was effeoted.
Btockers and feeders were slow and weak
all day. Borne of the best cattle that had
both weight and quality did not sell muoh
different from yesterday. On the other
hand the light and common grades were In
the language of the yards rotten.

HOGS Hogs sold 16c lowsr this morning
and while the trade was not very active the
most of the hogs changed hands In very
fair tenon. The prices paid for the general
run of good loads, having both weUTit and
quality, ranged largely from ttSO, as
agaiatt 84.4o-o.-4 60 yesterday. The top today
waa 84.40 and yesterday the top was 84.66.
Light hogs sold from 84 80 down.
The cauue for the decline today was to
be found in the sharp break reported from
other selling points, especially at Chicago,
where the early market was reported 169
20c lower, with almost no business doing.
While this market has been going down
hill rapidly since Friday of last wsek the
decline has not been as rapid as at Chi
cago, so that the spread In prlcea between
the two points U much smaller than
usual.

SHEEP The receipts of sheep this morn
ing were quite small, but sufficient to
supply the' demand. Among the offerings
were some pretty good killers, with only a
comparatively few loads of feeders.
There was no quotable change In the mar
ket today, the offerings generally selling In
about the same notohee as yenterdsy. Good
western lambs sold up to 66 So, which was
higher than anything brought yesterday,
but the quality today wss possibly better.
Good, fat, well finished, but heavy western
yearlings sold at 84 .66, the Same that
brought 14.76 last week. While the market
could not be quoted active, the most of the
offerings changed hands In fair season In
the morning.

One of Twelve Men Wko Convlee4
Alleged Merderer Aaealled .
by Three Tbega. "
Charles E. Speck, one of the Jurors who
convicted Charles Pumphrey of 'the rmsr,
der of Ham Fak, was assaulted Monday
evening about 11:30 o'clock near Eighteenth
and Harney streets, and he believes frior.fls
of tho convicted boy were his assailants. .
Speck had been up town and waa on his
way home at 418 South Nineteenth street
when, he ssys, three men stepped out from ,
the shadows near the county jail and one
of them! remarked. "There goes one of tho
," applying a vile name to him. Then
one of the men struck him In the face with
his flat and the three ran away. Speck
believes he can Identify one of the men
snd that the assault wss due to the verdict
returned by the Jury.
Speck was able to leave the house Tues
day morning, but his face Is badly dis
figured. The matter has been reported to
the authorities and will be Investigated.
When Speck arrived at his home his
watch and all his money were missing.
A small part of his watch chain still re
mained In the buttonhole of his vest, as If
the timepiece had been hastily grabbed
from his pocket without trying to loosen
the chain. This Indicates the motive may
have been robbery.
Farmers Are Swindled.
MITCHELL, a D Deo. 10.-(Speolal.)-The
financial panic In the east sent ths
"yegg-men" to the west to prey upon the
smaller banks of ths country, for It was
rightfully supposed that they would carry
a large amount of money. Along with tho
"yegg-men" came another class that say a
way tn which to prry Upon the farmers.
Tills wae a dishonest class of grocery ped
dlers, who have been working; In the sur
rounding counties with more or less suc
cess. . These grocery peddlers are not con
nected with any reliable house, but take
the responsibility on themselves. They
reached a conclusion that If any class of
people would take their money from ths
banks and hoard It at home It would be
the farmer and so the grocery peddler has
started through the country with a cheap
proposition to sell groceries. The plan of
the peddlerf, as It has been successfully
worked In this section of the state. Is to
call on tht farMer and taks a small order
at first, asking merely for a dollar In cash
to help pay his traveling expenses. In
ths course of a week the grocery order ar
rives, filled f to the letter with everything
that the order contained and the goods of
a better grade than was anticipated. . It
Is the policy to let the cheapness of ths
goods and his seeming reliability soak for
a week, when he returns for second order.
And here Is where the swindle comes In.
A farmer In an adjoining county was drawn
In to buying a second order of the peddlxr,
and as the goods were cheap he was In
duced to Invest about 175 In a grocery
bill. Ths peddler ssked for 126 cash on the
order and as he proved perfectly honest In
the first tnstancs, the farmer trus' d to the
honesty of the peddler a second time, and
that Is where he lost out. The peddler took
the money, assured tbe farmer that the
groceries would be sent soon, and then
departed to work his scheme on others,
plenty of whom he found.
