Stock speculation to-day reached "a point below the
average OF midsunmer's stagnatOn few weeks
ago when the market with daily transactions over
100000 shares, called dull, we were constantly
reminded that the business in stocks light because
the which impeded loconoti0n On the Western
roads After the aforesaid roads hardened but
stock transactions lessened instead OF increasing.
Then il was discovered that the roads had
frozen rapidly, and that the "ru's" made them
even more impossible than had the mud" At list the
"rus" gave way under the pressure OF the indciatga
BILE farmers heavily loaded grain wagons, and wheel
ing became trsrate yet, business in stocks still Ian
gulshcd. Finally it discovered that nothing except
snow and good sleghing could render winter In the
country truly lively and induce farmers 10 crowd the
railways with their products and tine village stores with
their wives and daughters This anticipated condition OF
things expected TO be the grand signal for The public
TO lush to tie Stock Exchange, and buy and carry
away the stocks belonging 10 the spectators But
spgul.y enough with the coming Of the long wished
for snow the climax Of topdity the Stock Exchange
Is reached and transactions dwindc from $4,000 shares
on Thursday 10 3s, 900 Friday, and 10 10000
shares to-day. Surely there u something wrong
with speculation OF more serious import than the
Influences OF the clements. And its remedy is not to be
found vaviIIatng policy regarding commissions
which has been followed by the Stock Exchange, al
though that Of itself has been aggrayaon Of other
more powerful causes The explanation OF those causes
has been too often made in this column TO require repe

CHICAGO Dec. IA, 1S7s.-Wheat after ruling
lower and depressed, is recovering as we write.
with a feeling of confidence in the future of
the property. To large receipts, favorable
weather and depressed cables early in the week,
added lower New York and report that
the agricultural department. at Washington had
increased its estimates of the crop to 425, ,O0O.-
000. These Influences would have badly broken
a naturally weak market, but we receded re-
luctantly and with the combined efforts of the
'bears'' our decline &c from the highest
point of the previous week and our recovery in
one day about equal to the decline Of four DAYS.
Past experience has taught the trade how ma
terially the agricultural department can modify
its figures in its final estimates of crop, and
we fully expect at the end of the cereal year
under the influence of lighter receipts thew
will find their previous estimate of 400, ,OOO, 900
liberal calculation. Our latest advices from
Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska indicate that we
are approaching an era Of lighter receipts, and
that we have seen the maximum of farmers
deliveries an the crop. As we write heavy
and widely extended snow storm prevails and
it will tend to curtail receipts decidedly, but
this storm has had nothing to do with the de-
cline in receipts at the Western primary mar
kets for the week past. Receipts at Chicago,
Milwaukee, Toledo, st. Louis, Detroit and Gin
cinnati for the week ending to-day 214S, 600
bushels against 1850, 600 last week, and average
weekly receipts Of 2. 2.420000 in the month Of
November, 6000O in October and 2,946,OOO
in September. It is a fact worthy of note that
the heaviest receipts on the crop were for the
week ending August Oath, before spring wheat
had fairly begun to move when at the primary
markets we recorded the enormous total OF
| 3Sl9,000. A friend of ours who is a wheat
buyer in the Northwest and has travelled very
extensively, reports that the great movement i.
now over, and he confirms the impression ou]

The Metropolitan Theatre.

The "Streets of New York; at Pence
Opera House, is attracting the largest audi
encss since "Uncle TOMS Cabin" was pro-
duced, and has proved such an attractive card
for the management, and hence will be con-
tinued several nights yet, possibly during the
entire week.
It ls impossible to speak too highly of the
Metropolitan company in this great sensa-
tional play. Tt is entirely suited to their
capacity, while the scenic display
is most excellent. It is satisfaction to an
nounce that the Minneapolis people appre-
ciate the efforts of Messrs. Murray & Goodwin
to furnish them with a legitimate place of
amusement. Thus far the management has
met with most excellent encouragement, and
if our business men understand their inter-
ests they will see to it that this encourage
nent is continued, as it makes one of the
most attractive features to the city.

Mr. KcKniahRs Benefit.

Readers Of the GLOBE will not fail to re-
member that the first complimentary benefit
of MIR. Mcknight takes place at the Academy
of Music this eveuing. Mr.. Mcknight de-
serves to receive an ovation at the hands Of
the people of Minneapolis. He came here
with the most excellent scenic entertainment
ever given in the Northwest. For nearly
four months he devoted all his time and en-
ergy to training over four hundred children,
