BUSINESS OF CHICAGO.
Healthy Increase i'm all Departments, and
Especially i'm the Grain and Stock Trade

Healthy Increase i'm all Departments, and
Especially in the Grain and Stock Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-Thc review of the
business for the year in Chicago shows
unparalleled prosperity and increase in the
aggregates. Hundreds of new industries
have been established, and thousands of
dwellings and business houses erected.
more than doubled jim value, and the
amount of bank clearings have increased
over last year, which was the heaviest in
the history of the city by 1885,
900, 900, the total for the year being
], 1898, 000, 900, and the banks give flour
ishing franchise exhibit But the chief
increase is in the grain trade. Elevator
row has been increased over 1900, 600
bushels. There has been an aggregate of
grain received of 161, 100000 bushels
against 13S, 100000 in 1879, and 6O,0OO,-
600 in 1870. The increase of
this year over last is in corn
and Foats, the other cereals showing a
falling off, owing to the corner of 1879,
which brought out heavy quantities Of
old grain. In 1879 the receipts were
$4,000 barrels of flour, $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat, 64,000,000 bushels of
corn, II 900, 600 bushels of oats, 1000, 900
bushels of rye and barley This year
the receipts were 100000 barrels of
flour, $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat, IS ,O0O,-
600 bushels of corn, 100000 bushels of
oats and 1000, 900 bushels of rye and bar
ley. Shipments this year were 156, 000,-
600 bushels, last year 126, 600, 900 bush
els
The prospect for the winter and spring
is the brightest possible for continual
ton of the increase in trade of cereals as
well as for a general business revival in
nearly every other commodity dealt in on
'change. There has been a marked in
crease in the amount and prices paid
Thus there were 100000 pounds of
grass seed against 4S, OOO, 900 in 1s79 65,-
000, 900 pounds of butter against 81 900, 900
sixty eight million pounds of hides
against fifty-four millions. In the pro-
vision trade there has been considera-
BILE forward stride. For the year evning
Nov. l, 1880, 5,375 600 hogs were slaugh-
tered here against 5,OS9 900 in 1879, and
this in the face of serious labor disturb
ances, lasting through the bet
ter part of the packing season. The
average daily capacity of the packing
houses is 100000 hogs per year. This
business has all grown since 1853, when
the first hogs were slaughtered here to the
number of $4,000; the aggregate weight
of the years killing, LOO, 000,0 200 pounds,
and the value $62,0OO,000, an increase
of $40, 100000 over the value of the hog
crop Of 1879; 100000 of hogs, 1854, 600
cattle and 329, 900 sheep were received,
and 100000 cattle and 1,38O,OOO hogs
were shipped.

THE BIG TUMBLE.
Which Wheat Took in ChicugO Last We

Which Wheat Took IN Chicago Last Week.
[Chicago Tribune, Dec. 25]
The market took another down turn
yesterday, and very Unexpectedly 50 to
the great majority of operators There
was no great faith in possible bulge be-
fore the close Of the holiday season, but
most people had gotten the idea that
prices had declined about as far as was
necessary in order to make the trade feel
comfortable, as all the high priced longs
were supposed to have been closed out
under the decline of two or three days
previous The opening feeling was
therefore, rather steady, but there were
orders to sell pork and wheat, which had
the effect of depressing those lines, and
the others went down in sympathy with
them. Wheat declined to 967s for Feb
ruary, "a drop of 25s cents, -and May
corn to 415s, a drop of about a cent
Pork declined to S12.5711. for February,
which was just shade less than so cents
per barrel, while lard de-
clined to ss.421a for Feb
ruary, which was a trifle less than 20
cent per 100 pounds decline Oats fell off
to 81 4l for May In wheat, pork and
lard, these prices were lower than the
bottom figures on Tuesday, which was
the really panicky day during the recent
period of commOtion. In corn and oats
the lowest prices were about a quarter of
a cent above those of that day. The
markets rallied a little towards the close
of Change, but
and after the regular trading ON the call
February wheat declined to 961s cents,
closing at that figure. The trading was
heavier than usual but there were no
failures, and, so far as heard, no immedi-
ate expectation of any. The fact seemed
to be that all the people who were hold
ing pork aud lard and grain at
the high prices of last month
were closed out few days ago, and
though there are good many longs now,
they are longs at comparatively low prices
For instance; the bulk of February wheat
which is now held by longs was probably
and the same proportion will obtain in
cent. further would be necessary to ex-
HduSt VIC margins dlIedulv put up OH inc
majority of the deals which are now out
standing This is perhaps the best au-
curry that can be framed for more
settled condition of things to-day and
during the holiday week. The trading
yesterday, though heavy, seemed to be
largely on local account, with few out
side orders either to buy or sell on the
market 1t was thought that the early
offerings of pork and wheat,
which started the markets down
ward, were the relics of lots sold
to the parties who suspended earlier in
the week, and were being closed out by
the people holding them because they
were not able to deliver to the original

BLACK FRIDAY.
Death OF the Man Who Was the Leading
Stool Pigeon ON the Memorable Occa-


New YORK, Dec. 23.-Albert Speyers,
who was the central figure in the Incl
dents of Black Friday, died to-day. He
was the principal broker of pool COM
posed of James Fisk, Jr., Jay Gould,
William M. Tweed, Henry N. Smith,
Peter B. Sweeny, William Belden and
others, formed to put up the price of
gold. Speyers began purchasing the first
of the week, and at the close of business
OH Friday night, Sept "a, 1869, he had
bought over s35 ZOO, 900 of gold for the
account of the pool. When he began
buying the price was $50. On the morn
ing of Black Friday it opened at 145.
Speyers went into the gold room with
orders from the pool to buy all the gold
offered up to $50. He did
so, and reported. Then he
was directed to continue the purchase up
to 100. When the price was advanced
above $50 the terrible excitement of the
day began. Most of the members of the
pool were in the Office of VIM. Heath &
Co., from which they issued orders and
sent encouraging messages to Speyer
They assured him that the short interest
exceeded 100000 900, that they had
ample resources to margin upon his pur-
chase, and that the government was with
them and would not sell any gold About
noon the price approached l60. Then
Speyers, under new orders, rushed to the
front, offering that figure for any part of
81 100000. He bought million after mil
lion at that figuS. Then he raised his
bid to 1922, the highest price of the day
At this moment dispatch came from
the secretary of the treasury,
Boutwell, to the sub-treasurer in
this city, directing him to sell Sd, 600, 900
of gold. While the brokers were trying
to learn whether such an order had really
been issued the price Of, gold dropped
from 100 to 40, rallied again, and finally
declined to l31. The action of the gov
eminent wrecked the scheme of the pool,
and bedlam followed in the gold room
Speyers was taken to his home in car
riage, completely exhausted and undone
When he returned to the street several
days afterward he found that Fisk and
others of the pool had repudiated the
transactions he had made. This threw
him into bankruptcy along with the dozen
OF more of brokers who were obliged to
close their doors He finally instituted
suits against Jay Gould and others, to
recover the amount due him, but he never
accomplished anything. A year and a
half ago he went INTO the real estate
business at No. IS Cedar street, where
he had an Office at the time of his
death. - [5A

Doubts as to RaHiScy's Strength.
fred Wing Republican,

Now that the name of the ex-senator
is to be offered at once, it is quite likely
that several other candidates will be
heard of also, and the opinion has been
prevalent that if Senator Mcmillan is not
nominated at once he will not be chosen
at all; and it is supposed that those who
vote at first for Mcmillan will at length
fall into the Ramsey boom. The course
of the Pioneer Press, in proposing to be
rather favorable to Mcmillan at first and
now dropping him before the contest be-
gins, will lessen the probability of such
action, but Mr.. Ramsey is great deal
stronger than his tinessing friends, and
may perhaps carry the load of blunders
which they have begun to make in his
behalf.

Popular feeling is bitterly against him
and he will probably deem it expedient
to remove from the neighborhood of his
crime. The jury, before rendering the
verdict, engaged themselves by solemn
oath to disclose the nature of their
deliberations, SO that the secrets of the
jury room will probably be well kept.
The press is almost unanimous in con-
demning the verdict. ...7 <
