CHICAGO. Jan. 2 Confronted with
Argentine ahlpments double those of last
week and treble the record a year ago, the
wheat market today turned nervous and
weak, latest figures showed a net loss of
'ft'c to SfcWc. Corn closed Sc to Sc
down, and oats o to MfSno. At the finish
provisions were 2Wc off to 10c advance.
it m announced that Argentine wheat
shipments for January to dale were 8,000.000
bushels more than ror tne entire nrmui
corresponding In 1810. In this connection
authoritative figures were expected to
show that world shipments had averaged
13 I4t(.0io bushels a week and that only
10.523.OU0 bushels average would be re
quired for the remainder of the season.
riM.nin and the Danublan ports have been
shipping at the rate of more than 4.000.000
bushels a week. At tne same iium, in
crops of the Argentine, as well as Aus
,.u. lnrila have not vet been touched.
Domestic developments also appeared to
favor chiefly the hears. Cash wheat was
e.k in all directions, with Kansaa City
and Omaha complaining of lack of storage
room and with the seaboard selling by
the boat load at well tinder the price of
Chicago Mav delivery. The range for that
option here today was rrom wic io
Wc with the close Stt'io net lower at WHc.
Corn sold off under local pressure both
for long and short account. May varied
between 80'ic and 60c. closing VolSe down
At SO'iVMnc. Cash corn was easy; No. 2
vellow finished at 47047HC
Poor shipping call depressed oats. May
bad as high as low points. MKflWmr and
J4,mi3Sc with final sales, H&4e off at
844834,We.
In provisions, strength was attributed
to lack of offerings. At the end of the
day. pork was 2Vi- lower to Re up; lard
unchanged to ijc higher and ribs the same
as Isst night to n added cost of 10c.

NKW TURK. Jan. M -The atock market!
traveled today In the path which It tins
toiiowed often In recent weeks, with mm.
showing ul spirit In the first hour and
little more then a pretense of conducting
business during the remainder of the day.
Prices ruled slightly above yesterday's
closing, and. after a dip In the first hour
and sn Immedlste rslly. were maintained
st a doad level, with a few isolated excep
tions. The b'llk of trading was confined
to the speculative element on the floor and
the undertone was firm for the most part.
In the Isst hour prices moved up smartly
and the close was firm.
Reduction of the discount rale by the
Bank of England wss something of a sur
prise, In view of the threatened stringency
In the London money market and the tip
ward course of prlvste discounts during
the last fortnight. Althoush technically of
favorable Import, the change met with no
response In the local stock market.
Atchison and St. Paul were strong fea
tures of the railroad list, the former on
account of Its satisfactory December show
ing and the latter by reason of the declara
tion of the regular semi-annual dividend
of 34 per cent, despite misgivings in som
quarters. The Hsrrlman stocks were again
under pressure, with a renewal of reports
that an unfavorable decision in the merser
case Is Imminent, but held firm during
most of the day, and were conspicuously
strong at the close.
Bethlehem Steel moved up 3 points, the
improvement being presumably due to
recent large orders for rails which the
corporstlon hag received.
International financiers here were en
couraged by the recent utterances of a
prominent English banker reflecting a
favorable view of present economic condi
tions In this country. The onlv notable
features of the weekly statement of the
Bank of France was Its reduction of al
most $14,000,000 In loans and discounts.
Some advices from Paris report apprehen
sion over the copper situation, which ap
f.r'n'1V In an acute speculative stage.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
numbered 160 cars, which was a good,
liberal run for a Thursday. The total for
the five days foots up 23,000 head, as
against ott-ly 19,200 last week and 18,200 a
year ago. Conditions were not very favor
able to the selling Interests. Buyers have
been complaining for the last day or two
that prices at this point have been too high
as compared with Chicago and other east
ern markets and It was very evident at the
beginning that they would take advantage
of liberal receipts to bear the market. As
a result the trade opened rather slow and
dull on the general run of cattle, both kill
ers and feeders. The morning was well
advanced before much business had been
transacted.
While some of the most desirable light
beef steers may possibly have commanded
steady or close to steady prices, the gen
eral tendency ot the market was lower
and about the best to be said regarding
the day's trade would ba to call It A weak
to 10c lower market.
Cows and heifers were also slow jo lOo
lower as a general thing, but still there
was a pretty fair demand and sellers In
seme cases who happened to have what
buyers wanted thought they seoured prices
that were about steady.
Feeders were slow and weak, especially
stock cattle, and prices were around 10c
tower or aaieiy Z60 lower than one week
ago.

HOGS Another heavy supply and fresh
declines In prices features the hog trsde
this morning. Bulk moved around 6Slue
lower than yeaterday's bulk, but movement
was rather halting and It waa well along
toward midday before anything like a
complete clearance waa made.
Packers purchased tbe big end of the re
ceipts as usual, the speculative Inquiry
being hardly broad enough to afford very
nuuli suport to the trade as a whole.
Quality of offeringa was good and butcher
welghta were the rule, with rough packing
grades the exception.
Animals suited for lard manufacture met
with more er less prejudice, the same as
i botsh"f goi'nmedaVmindK2'
res
while desirable mixed aold at and around
87 45. Rest bscon and butcher grades com
manded $7 65tf7sn. the latt'r price being
the highest p.-ild.
Freer liquidation bv producers bss been
evident at all the lending hog markets
thus far this week, which condition has
enabled packers to chespen cost. Current
Trices are prettv close to a qusrter lower
than those noted St last week s close.

SHEEP Supplies of sheen snd lambs
were light this niornlm. the count earlv
being much less than the posted estimate.
Only a few doubles were available at the
oncnlng. as the arrival of bulk was de
layed by late freight service.
What few offerings were on hsnd met
with a good, active demand and com
manded firm prices. Ewes brought as
mi'ch as $4.00 and lambs sold up as high
as $6.10. As compared with last week's
close, these prices Indicate a general trade
that la Just about steady to 16c higher all
around. Lambs show the advance, as a
rule, for the reason that last week's lamb
market closed low, making any broad Im
provement more noticeable In this branch
of trading. Plain, heavy grades of stock
have been In poor request at all times
lately, weighty lambs on the native and
poor quality western order selling below
the Jj.oo mark.
There were no good wethers or year
lings on sale early and the market re
mained quote blv stesdv. Handv Mexican
wethers are wanted at $4.16'l.25, while
good yearlings would probably sell around
$6.00. Heavy, burrv vearllngs sold at $t.6lK3
4.70 during the week.
After larger shipments arrived trade
weakened considerably and closed In poor
shape. Good ewes had to sell sround $3.50
and It took a toppy kind of lambs to reach
$6.85. As compared with the early mar
ket closing prices were about 16c lower,
this break Involving all classes of stock.

RATTLESNAKE INDUSTRY HIT
Careless Bxpreee Messenger Brlai
the Baslaese te a Staad-
atlll.
In Swain county. North Carolina, an en
terpiiadnc woodsman succeeded In build
Ing up a profitable business In shipping
rattlesnakes to the east. That section of
North 'Carolina, It appears, produces a su
peiior breed of rattlesnake arid New York
scientists and naturalists havs been paying
willingly $5 apiece for good specimens of
rattler.
Manuel Weeks, tha wideawake Individual
who haa been supplying the scientific world
with live and husky snakes, owns a large
body of land In ths North Carolina moun
tains. The most of the land Is too poor
and too rugged to raise a fuss on, but It
abounds In rattlesnakes. A New York pro
feasor on a vacation, looking around for
specimens of flora and fauna and othsr
things of Interest to nature lovers, ssw
some of the snakes and wanted a few for
his collection. Weeks agreed to catch them
and ship them and did so. Subsequently
the fame of the North Carotlna snakes
spread over New Toik snd other nstursl

Reminds suffers from a rlague of Ttoers
Though the war was over eight yesra ago
these Islands of the blest are burdened with
hosts of poor prisoners of war who are still
held here because they will not swear al
legiance to Ms gracious majesty, King
George V of England.
Held by an Implacable Imperial govern
ment, driven here and there by angry In
sular authorities the wretched and des
perate men are literally without a country.
Four thousand of these unhappy men.
chiefly of General Prlnsloo s commando,
were exiled to Bermuda, and those who do
not lie In the bleak cemetery of Hawkins
Island wander about the Islands In a prac
tically destitute condition.
When the prisoners arrived here they
were accommodated on Hawkins Island,
one of the many Islands which compose the
Rermuda archipelago. Many and desperate
attempts were made by the prisoners to
escape the vigilance of the British regi
ments which formed a cordon around tha
Island. By night searchlights from men-of-war
Illuminated the Island and surrounding
waters, but nothing daunted by the ob
stacles to be overcome eleven men made
a bid for freedom. Nine of them suo
ceeded In eluding the sentries, swimming
across to the mainland and making their
escape, it Is supposed, to America. Of the
remaining two, the tenth was recaptured
and the other, a youth 19 years of age.
was shot through the back by a sentry and
Instantly killed as he was climbing the
barbed wire Inclosure.
When liberty and transportation to South
Africa was offered the commando on the
one condition that the men swear slleglance
to the British crown over 200 refused to ao-
cept. Then the prison at Hawkins Islsnd
was dismantled and the IrTecnncllables
wandered through the streets of Hamilton
by day and found shelter under the
steamer sheds at the wharves at night.
Abandoned by the Imperial government
the colonial authorities then aserted them
selves and gave the Boers twelve hours
In which to leave their quarters under the
sheds. The men stuck to their "laager."
The police were ordered out and troops
with ball cartridges were held In readiness
to support the operations of the civil power.
No resistance, however, was encountered;
the "laagor" was broken up, the Boers
were dislodged and, with their few effects,
were turned Into Front street, the main
thoroughfare of the city of Hamilton.
Every application, made by the Boers for
aaslstancs to return to the Transvaal or
the Orange River Colony has been refused
until the necessary formality of taking tha
oath of allegiance has been compiled with.
The latest development Is a proposal to
make a claim on tha British government

"You hear a lot of discission about tha
way the customs officials get tips about
tho dresses and ths Jewelry American
women purchase In Paris," said an Ameri
can who Is In business In the French capi
tal. "It Is perfectly simple.
'You csn sit on the curbstone of ths
Avenue de l'Opera any day In the season
and listen to the chat of the American
women who go by. Nine out of ten of
them will be talking about what they have
been buying. You can alt In the reception
room of a Paris hotel, with a paper In front
of you pretending to read, and you ran
hear bunches of women talking nothing
but clothes. Tm going to get so and so,"
one will say and another will tell how

other will say that her husband haa proTYt-
Ised to get a diamond pendant tf she can
get along with fewer dresses than she baa
planned. Kor the equivalent of 10 cents,
the hallboy will get you the names of these
women.

to be looking at a 86 matchbox while a

"There are a lot of persons In Parts who
make their living just by keeping their
ears open. They carry what they hate
heard to the United States treasury agents
In Paris, and when a selsure Is mads upon
their Information they receive a slice ot
what the government gets out of it.

lives In Parts, who makes a handsoms In

She ussd to be hard op, but now shs
dresses ss well as almost everybody over
there, and I happen to know that she Is
an Informer. There are persons who make
as much as $10,000 a year In this way.
"It Is easy enough. Why, two smart
Americans by spending their time hanging
about the Avenue de l'Opera and the Rue
de la Pais, keeping their ears open and
occasionally peeping Into the show win
dows, could make all the money they want.
It Is a mistaken Impression that some
persons have that Paris merchants make
It their business to inform the United
States authorities of sach purchase made
by an American in their shops. The whole
trouble Is that women want to smuggle,
but they do not like to keep their mouths
