number of these illegal dredgers are pro-

REVIEW.


New YORK, December p From our cable
adyices to-day we think that the London
market has been undergoing a process very
similar 10 that which we have experienced
here and that the process Of liquidation
should have been a gradual one speaks well
for the stability of the situation and gives
promise of better prices after the turn OF the
year Prices opened weaker and sold of,
but rallied during the afternoon under a
liberal covering by local traders and on the
report from Washington that the debate ON
the Interstate commerce bill would be de-
layed till after the holidays, this beng
interpreted as unfayorable to the passage OF
the measure.
While we are somewhat inclined TO believe
that we have seen the lowest prices for the
really good stocks. and the showing made by
the Lake Shore road as published to-day
warrants this opinion, there may still exist
reason for considerable further unloading in
the outside group of securities which have
been advanced far beyond their intrinsic
value; and this circumstance, induces us to
still advise cautious and conservative
course. The market closed steady. Money
ruled about 6 per cent.

REMARKS

The wheat market has ruled dull to-day
and ON the whole lower Opening was weak.
and one quarter lower on easier cables and
heavy receipts. Report that foreigners were
heavy sellers i'm New York caused CON
siderable selling here. but offerings were
quickly absorbed and close is about top.
Trading was light. and we think the
market will not move much until after the
holidays Receipts are still heavy and ex-
port trade moderate.
Corn stronger but dull, fluctuations light
Close is at top.
Provisions easier; early on slight increase
i'm receipts of hogs, but soon strengthened

About Christmas Presents.

An article of jewelry is the most appro-
pirate gift for the coming holidays, for
the reason that there are so many small,
pretty, inexpensive articles that can be
worn by nearly every person In no
ether line is the selection so great In
order to accommodate our numerous
friends of moderate means who want some
thing good and pretty and at the same
time not too costly, we have prepared one
OF the best assortments to be found in the
