CHICAGO, December 22.-The new
bridge spanning the Mississippi river
between Dunleith and Dubuque, was
completed Yesterday and its strength
thoroughly tested to-day. The bridge
is pronounced success. Its entire
length is 1860 feet; consisting of four
spans of 225 feet each; two of $50 each,
and the draw $50 feet long. The entire
bridge is composed of iron and masonry,
and cost, with the approaches, 100000.
A dispatch from Prairie Du Chen,
Wisconsin, says that sleigh load Of
passengers, in crossing the Mississippi
river at that place, on the ice, broke
through. All the passengers were
saved, except child about three years
old, which froze TO death. The horses
were drowned.
The post Office at South Bend, Indi-
ana, was broken open last night and
some 800 letters riiled of their money
contents. Other va)uables were not
disturbed. 1t is supposed that the rob
bers got between SO and 500.
Dupage county, in this State, has long
been the scene of an internal conflict in
regard to the location of the county
seat. There are two contestants for the
honors and profits, Napierville and
Wheaton. The former has heretofore
had nine points of the law in its favor,
but not so now. The inhabitants of
Wheaton formed themselves into Wig.
lance committee, on Sunday last, and
went over to Napierville and captured
ali the county records, which they now
have, under guard, Al Wheaton. This
is but the beginning of the end.

HAVANA, December .22.-Intelli-
gence has been received here that Col.
Auguero Betancourt and twelve other
insurrectionists had arrived at Neuvitas
yesterday as prisoners. Also that a
number ofwoundCd Spanish officers and
soldiers had arrived at that town Tor
medical treatment.
All the journals are unusually slieh'
on affairs in the revolutionary districts'
There are anyrumors of engagements
between the troops and insurrectionists.
One report States that Colonel Bene-
passe had been defeated in an engage
ment near Avalgin, but the Diaro de-
n;o.fbe correctness of this report and
asserts, on the contrary, that the Gov
eminent troops in that region have
gained successes.
Nearly all the soldiers who arrived
from Spain have been sent to the seat of
war.
The reports that the inhabitants OF
several towns on the Havana Western
had joined the revolution and
that bands of insurgents had formed are
not confirmed.

can products gold and silver have
been exported this year TO the
amount of S69, 1856, 474, in gold dol.
lars worth 100 cents, with gold at
14O, equal to about 9o,OOO,OO0 In cur
rencv. or an amount equivalent to
over 20 ner cent of all the other Amer
lean produce shipped from this port.
The specie exports for the correspond
ing period of last year were S49, sc, 200
in gold dollars, or $50, 200,0 900 less than
those of this year. AS every country
experts most largely of that which is
relatively its cheapest and most
desirable commodity il foreign
countries, it follows from the figures
of our foreign commerce that the
precious metals have been this year
the cheapest and most desirable of the
products of our soil to ship abroad.
Specie is an export which at the best
pays the minimum of profit. Specie is
never shipped excepting in the last ex-
tremity, when the country from which
it is shipped can offer nothing else
which shows even the chance of a profit.
Specie shipments generally pay simply
the cost of transporting them, and very
rarely pay profit. A preponderance
of specie exports from a country is
therefore evidence of the dearness of its
other products in the markets of the
world, and of something radically wrong
in the policy which regulates its foreign
trade,

Allegheny Live Stock Market.
PITTSBURGH, December %, 1868.

PITTSBURGH, December ~, 1900.
CATTLE-The supply on the market
was small. This, however, was to be
expected. The number offered did not
exceed 800 head, large portion being
of an inferior description, aud, while
prime fat heifers and steers sold readily
at full prices, rough steers and oxen,
and cid cows and stays, of which there
was an abundant supply, ruled very
dull, and we presume considerable
number of this kind would be left over
unsold. IL is but proper to remark
that, even for good cattle, the demand
was not as brisk as usual to-day, which
may be attributed to the fact that the
markets are well supplied with poultry,
which can be bought (dressedl for less
than is charged for roast beef. Prices,
as will be seen by reference TO report of
sales, ranged from 7a7tc for good to
prime, and extra may be quoted at ga
SIC. Medium butchers stock may be
quoted at Gaelic, and stockers at 4a54c,
according to quality and condition.
Some of the drovers report this as be-
ing the hardest Christmas market they
had experienced for some years.
SHEEP-The supply of sheep was
considerably larger than last week,
reaching about $500 head, and with no
Eastern buyers and very light demand
from butchers, the market ruled exceed
ingly dull, and, compared with last
week, prices were lower, ranging from
95c to % per head, according to
quality.
HOGS-The hog market was very
stiff, and with considerable inquiry and
a very light supply, prices, compared
with last week, have advanced from
ia2c per pound. WenOw quote, in re.
tail way, at 8la10c, as to quality and
condition.
