LONDON, December ls.-The MARI
Lane tgpres' review OF the British corn
trade says the supply Of wheat in Mark
Lane is again small, and for day lots
ready sale Is experienced, especially for
red, at fully late rates. The imports Of
foreign wheat last week were liberal in
spite Of the heavy supplies, which con.
sisted mainly OF Russian and East In.
dian descriptions. A steady feeling was
apparent in trade. The millers have
eVinced an increased desire to operate,
aud it is probable that as soon as the Rus.
sian supplies cease prices may rally
some ewshillIngs per quarter.
The requirements Of France and tie
desire to have the tariff temporarily re.
United on foreign grain imported from
this country are also strong points in
trade, which is upheld to some extent by
a very fair outward movement. The ex-
ports last week exceeding 1850 quar-.
tors, and decrease in shipments from
America which will now be experienced
should also help trade. 1t is certain thai
our own increased winter consumption
can't be relied on sufficiently as power
to enhance the value Of wheat, and should
prices rise, the Improvement will BE- due
as far as can be seen at present to de-
tcieny crops requiring to be supplement-
cd by importation in the neighboriDg Eu
ropean countries. Fortified by these con-
celebrations holders still refrain frou
pressing sales, and in the uncertain state
Of political affairs, the future course O.
the grain trade il harder to foresee thar
II has been for long time past.

EIccirIc Light.

CLEVELAND, December ls.-A success.
tll experiment with electric light. Show.
ing its power and economy, was made in
the Lake Shore Shops of this city. The
shop /, about sOxl5O feet in size Glled
with machinery, piles oflumber, ETC., the
walls and ceiling begrimed, as Is usual in
slch places, The whole was Illuminated
as bright IA day by two electric lamps,
one hung from the ceiling near each end
Of the shop. The electricity to operate
these two lamps was furnished by one
B:u'h Dynamo Electric machine, atrau&
ell to give two separate currents, one for
ssch lump. E4ch light was Of 1000 can.
die power, or equal to l25 gas burners Of
usual size, counting sixteen candles equal
to one burner. The cost Of this amount
Oilight may readily be estimated as fol-
lows:
Cost OF three.horse power, estimated by
the usual rule OF l.2 cent per horse pow.
er per hour, l l2 cents per hour; con.
sumption Of carbon in the two lamps, 8
IL inches, Z cent?; ten per cent per au.
mum for wear and tear upon cost Of
suitable engine, and the Brush machine
and apparatus, 8 l.2 cents; total coat Of
light produced, equal to 25O gas burners,
IL cents; ten six-foot gas burners, with
gBat 81 per 1000, cost IL cents; relative
expense of electric light and gas light, l
TO 2j.
In addition to this vast difference in
cost in favor Of electric light there re.
main these secondary but by no means
iuConsiderAble advantages: that electric
light is a pure white light, giving the
same colOrs to all objects that sunlight
does that there are no dangers in its use
corresponding to those due 10 effective or
leaky gas pipes, resulting ALWAYS in a
vitiated atmosphere and frequently in &C.
Cidental firea or dangerous explosion;
that the amount OF carbonic acid and
other deleterious and unacceptable
gases given of respectively by electric
light are as to 200. Another exhibi-
tion Of the machine will take place at the
Lake Shore round house at 4:4O this
afternoon.

CINcINNATI, December 1S.-The jury
in the case Of Mrs. Creighton, tried for
the murder Of her husband at Lancaster,
after twenty.six hours returned verdict
Of mAnSlaughter at IL o'clock to-day
which is considered compromise YER
dict. The frat vote stood four for murder
in the first degree and eight for the Sec
ond, which was finally changed TO ten for
acquitLal and two for conviction, the lat.
ter two holding to the end.
The particulars OF the murder are sub
stantially these: On the second OF last
January Henry Creighton was found
dead in his house by neighbors aroused
by his wife, who confessed to having
killed him in self defense, there being nc
witness bnt Eddie Garland, her l2-year
old son by former husband. His wife
is believed, according to testimony, tc
have married his property rather thar
the man, with whom she lived in continu
Gus warfare. On the morning OF hii
death, she says, he had chased her about
the house shooting at her, and finally
with broad axe drove her to defend her
self, when she killed him by throwing AT
iron mortar and nail puller.
A motion for new trial by her coun
sci il now being entertained by Judge
Wright.
