Fratares of the Trading- nnd CloslntT
Prices on. Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Doe. . Wheat prices on the
local exchange declined sharply today, the
July delivery dropping below the ' dollar
mark. The cloae waa weak at the lowest
point of the day, with July at 99o and
May at tl.07. Corn closed weak, and oats
and provisions steady.
The severe slump In wheat prices oc
curred late In tha session, although with
the exception of a brief period during the
first hour, sentiment In the pit was bear
ish all day. The decline carried prices
down lVeti!40 from the high point of the
day. July delivery, which sustained the
greater loss, waa subjected to heavy selling
pressure throughout the entire day, the sen
lng being based on tha bearish showing of
the government report Issued Monday and
on the faaivQrable weather conditions now
prevailing: In tho United States for the fall
sown crop. A decline at Minneapolis, not
withstanding extremely small receipts in
the northwest, also had a depressing effect
on the local market, as did declines at
nearly all the principal Ku rope an grain
centers. There was some buying by lead
ing bulla early In the day, which caused
moderate firmness for a short time, but
later these same Interests became free sell
ers. From Sl.09 the May option declined
to ll.O.'H, while July declined from U.U17,
to Wfto. At tne Close ait deliveries were at
the bottom price. Clearances of wheat and
flour were eoual to 319.000 bushels.
Corn waa bearlahly affected by tha slump
In wheat. At the sample tables prices were
Wfo higher. The market closed waak at
the low point. Final quotations on May
were at o-ncvda, ana on uecemoer, bso.
oats were firm all day. The close waa
firm, with prices lo lower to Vo higher
with December at BHo and May at 63(3)
Provisions wera dull and steady. At the
close prices wera bo to 7Wu'10o higher.

Dec. 9. There was rxtraor
in the Issue deHlt In the
Stock exchange today and very little news
to account for tho newly revived interest
In them. Transactions were mude in a
large number of securities that have not
appeared on the tape before In months past
and only a few times In the course of a
year's actlvlt:es. Others which customarily
occupy a plate In the background rushed
forward to the conspicuous forefront of
the market. The consequence was a very
large list of Olfferent securities of which
sales were made and some Sensational
price changes when compared with preced
ing quotations. There waa a correspond
ing retreat Into comparative obscuritv of
many of the stocks which have fjrnlshed
the staple for speculative act.vity for many
months.
The former leader In the market were
quiet In tone and moved hut little. Today s
market was remarkably free from pressure
or from hostile attempts to reverse the pre
vailing tendency. There was a fairly ef
fective demonstration In tho trunk line
group. Including the coalers, during the
day. This waa the only notable exception
to the predominance of the low-grade
stocks In the day's dealings. Some Impar
lance was attached to the report of a
truce In the Illinois Manufacturers' asso
ciation's fight against the proposal to in
crease railroad freight rates, and It was
nferred thst such an advance wauld be
accomplished In the early future.
there was a rumor that early rongres
ionil action was in prospect look'ng to
brocntlon of the commodities clause of
he Hepburn law. ResumDtlnn of rnmoi
of an active share In directing the affair
of New York Central by E. H. Harrirrmn
was an Influence on this group. Otherwise
ne material or the speculation presented
n extraordinary scries or vaane anil 1111
verified rumors affecting several proper
ies. The ndvanee In the Western Union
dividend was a favorable factor. A k-o.1
mpression was mndn bIbo by tho lncrca.se
n the revenues of this cornoratlon owina-
to their accepted reliability as an index of
general business conditions. Allowance had
o be made, however, for the r-nmnanlsnn
wiin me penoa last year when revenues
were still affected by the strike. Discount
rates advanced at all the prlnclnal forelirn
centers and foreign exchange rates here
recovered strongly to near the gold export
it-vei. mne me closing tone 01 tne maik
was Irregular from seliina to take nrofiia.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
numbered 270 cars, which was a very
liberal run for the middle of the week.
The market as a whole was slow and the
feeling generally pretty weak.
Meet steers of strictly good quality were
rather scarce, and for that reason the
market on the better grades was steady
or pretty close to steady with yesterday.
on the other band, anything that was
not good waa slow and hard to sell at
prices quite a little lower. The movement
was very slow on all kinds and it was
later than usual before a clearance was
effected.
Some of the best cows looked pretty
nearly steady, but the common to medium
grades were weak and generally a little
tower. More man that, the market was
dull, buyers being in no hurry to fill
orders and sellers were backward about
making concessions.
The best feeders trenerallv
steauy prices, Dut anything
feeder or stocker line was
to move, the trade lacking
snap.

We also urge the public to take time by the forelock
and shop in comfort by shopping early.
In a short while, when there Is but little time left be
fore Christmas, everybody will hurry down town and re
turn on the cars loaded down with packages and bundles;
and although we will make every effort to provide ade
quate facilities to carry the crowds, we know there Is
bound to be severe congestion. Therefore, take advantage
of this splendid weather, the unbroken stocks of mer
chandise at the stores and the opportunity to travel In
safety and comfort before the rush commences.

saw It tumbled down appearanoe and un
sightly surroundings she took It so much
to heart that she ended her life. She arose
early In the morning, went to the kitchen
and drank the carbolic acid. She returned
to the bedroom and bid her husband good
