New YORK. December 24.-The market To-

on a limited scale and the trading has been
almost wholly confined to the room specula-

REMARKS.
The feeling in wheat has been strong to-
dav though market has been exceedingly
duh. There were no new developments IN
the foreign situation, but the present unset
tied condition of things was sufficient 10 pre-
vent any heavy selling. There were no Duy-
inc orders of consequence in market and so
the deal became simply scalplng one, and
trading was almost entirely local. The ex-
port trade is good but r. ceipis continue large.
At close market looks pretty well evened up.
Corn dull and steady, hardly any business
going on. Provisions strong and higher on
decrease in receipts of hogs, receipts falling
short of Yesterdays estimate.

desks where they would shortly be en-
gagged in their arduous legislative duties,
and in fancy imagined themselves letting
loose their long pent eloquence on subjects
of subtle state craft. After they had tx
amined the texture of the carpets, aud
complimrnted Secretary Morgan upon bis

round Lander, said John 7. Waliace,

Yesterday, have never seen equalled

cite in Omaha quietly buying up all the

that country north Of the U. p. will bring
prospectors and spectators in its train
and in two years, in my opinion pipe
lines will be laid, and the supply found
fully equal TO the demand. The North
western will bring new life and vignr and
population into the country. THIS syn
dictate in Omaha are taking up locations
illegally, and will get tripped up at their
game. The oil in that district is of varied
character. there are both the heavy and
the light oils. Some Of it requires no ad-
mixture to make it a p rfect lubricant,
equal TO the best in use. and can
be pumped flesh from the

linary quantity Of parathne in congealed

point it will become a large industry, for

The public needs a pavement in Fifth-avc.,

and well done before he cold weather comes
to interrupt it, and before the oty is mulctcd
in damages 10 the contractor for needless
DELAYS. Engineer Bach has shown that the
work is not being done according to the con-
tract, though his report may be safely taken
with certain allowances for the bitter anlmns
of his employers. At all events. the greater
part Of the work is still to be done. and II the
trouble with what is already laid arose out OF
the incompctency of the Department of Public
Works. that obstruction is now out of the way,
and General Newton should push the work to
an early finish
As to the badness of the pavement now COM
plcted, it is significant fact that the engineers
who have examined the work in behalf OF
the Controller and the Corporation Counsel fail
TO discover so deplorablc state Of things as
is made out 10y the engineers for Mayor
Gracc's Commissioners of Accounts. This cir
cumstancc is the more significant because the
public has confidence in Mr.. Locw and Mr..

OF Accounts rs the tools of selfish and in
triguing politician All the engineers agree
that the work has been done carclcssly, though
what is bad still admits of remedy.
While the work should be pushed ahead,
the responsibility for the evident failure OF
the contractor to do his full duty should he

charge of the work, the surveyor and the in
spcctors the public should know who is TO
