The Marx Lane Express says the cold wealth
er has proved SAlutary TO the winter wheat In
England and France. Farmers continue
10 market their wheatw with some freedom, but
notwithstanding the improved condition oi
foreigns, trade s very fat ina majority Of the
provincial markets, as millers are disinclined
TO add TO their stocks at the close Of the year
An equal dullness has marked the London
ly, but despite the limited demand business
has not lacked some feature Of SteAdiness, ex.
cept oats, the continued heavy arrivals oi
which cause prices TO droop In all varieties
Corn sold slowly st last week eurrencies, and
the steadinea shown has been more apparent
in the general tone Of trade than In the aGfual
amount OF business transacted.

Quiet Christmas sseason-TraIns Delayed
Murder Trial.

CHICAGO, December 24.-The extreme
cold weather of the past few days has made
an unusually quiet Christmas seaSonontht
streets. Trains have been delayed as much
as l2 hours on some roads. Instead being
removed by time the embargo on railroad
travel seems to be morerigid, the severity
OF the cold and the constant drifting oi
snow proving more serious Obstacles than
before. :,
In the murder trial Of Mrs. Alrira Clark
and St. Peter, for the murder OF the for
mer's husband, which has been in pro
gress three weeks, the breast-bo OF the
murdered man was exhumed and brought
into court this morning to disproye the
theory OF the defense in regard to the
murder. Mr.. Weber then began the speech
for the State. The speeches will probably
occupy three days. E4fE4
