says. the laboratory Of Edison, at Menlo Park
was brilliantly Illuminated last night, the rea-
con being visit Of number Of the inventors
personal friends. Forty lamps In all were
burning from six O'Clock until after ten. The
effect Of the exhibition was to convince those
present, who before were skeptlcal, that Mr..
Edison has In reality produced the electric

yet set for the general public exhibition, but
It Is quite probable that inside Of week ev.

all who desire to visit Menlo Park. Gas stocks

Development in tho stock yards strike
At Chicago, Dec. u, were that two Of the prin.
cipal houses would resume, ON a promise
from their employees that they viii not belong
to any union whatever. There seems no sign
Of weakening on either side, although there
seems to be serious discomfort among some
Of the needy workmen at the continued loss
Of wages during their most remunerative

The Mark Lane E1press says: Frost,
which, however, seems to be breaking up to-
day, (Monday) has neccessiated an indefinite
postponement Of the completion OF wheat
sowing. Distress Is increasing in agricultur-
al districts, and cattle are suffering severely
Threshing IL preceding steadily. Deliveries
at the principal markets are larger and the
condition somewhat improved. The provin-
cisl trade, however, has been inactive owing
to the disinclination 10 increase stocks previ-
Gus to the holidays. Nearly five.sixths of the
imports Of foreign wheat into London last
week were from American Atlantic ports Sup
plies from thence are far in excess of imme-
ate requirements. Still confidence in the iu-
furs is = prominent feature Of the preseat
speculative state OF trade which main.
tains the high price in America cannot last
long here, as prices here, which are already
sufficiently high to attract supplies from all
wheat producing countries Of the world, are
not likely to withhold shipment until Ameri-
ca has succeeded in establishing fictitious
value In European markets. Business in
Mark Lane has been small, owing to fog and
the approaching holidays Prices were, how
ever, maintained for all articles except maize
which ID difficult to sell except at a slight
reduction. For English wheat An advance Of
| shilling per quarter was occasionally oh,
aimed at the commencement Of the weeks
trade having entered upon a most interesting
phase. and this market closed firm but quiet,
| II remains to be seen how far the lead Of
America will be followed by Europe. Arriv.
ais At ports Of call have been large, being
buoyant at the commencement OF the week
but were reduced BY buyers to Is Cd per quar-.
tor, but holders were firm, and business, con.
sequently, for few days was at stand-still
At tho close Of the week, however, some car
goes sold at decline Of only about Sd pei

maize At sd@6d per quarter decline. The
high prices In America still check business il
red winters and springs for forward shipment
