Corn Still the Center Of Interest ON Change
A Very Feverish and Spasmodic Mar
ket-The Wheat Crowd Awaits the Gov
ernment Crop Report
CHICAGo-The corn pit again attracted
the attention of operators to-day, and the
feeling was very feverish and decidedly un.
settled, but with prices averaging consider
ably above yesterdays close The business
was quite spasmodic, with occasional rushes
to cover which would send prices up or
cents in short order, and when the spasrn
was over dullness would rule for q time and
sharp declines follow.
Conservative shorts were anxious to cover,
and outside operators in particular were
disposed to even up. The selling was re-
stricted, as in face of such evidence of
manipulation as the last two days has
sell year short, and the offerings were mostly
for long corn to secure profits. Nothing
more definite is yet known as to VINO the
clique is composed of, but there is no longer
much dispute as to its existence, OF as to Its
ability to make prices
The trading was attended with less excite
ment than yesterday, partly because the
fluctuations were somewhat less wide. and
partly because the trade is becoming used
to lightning changes in the price OF tins
cereal. The proportion of the receipts grad
ing contract remains very small. December
opened ut 55 cents, against 531a cents Mt the
close yesterday, and, with little business
passing and a number of fluctuations within
pretty wide range above that figure, fin
ally touched 50 cents, which proved the
highest price of the day, against 60 cents as
the top figure yesterday. Then season OF
weakness set in, which carried prices down
to 81 cents. During the remainder of the ses-
sion, the market was slow, and the close was
steady at 80. January was bought rather
freely, and advanced from 45 cents to 46
cents, closing half cent lower. May was
less affected and closed unchanged.
Wheat opened very dull and quiet, in SYM
pathy with cables which lent no encourage
ment to investors and because there was a
tendency to await the appearance of the
Government crop report due later in the
day. May held tor time at 9S1ac and 9SAc,
but when it was known that New York had
cleared 562 600 bushels of wheat and 3sCOO
packages OF flour trade revived little, and
with good buying there was a rally to 991sc.
During the last hour, however, shorts began
TO sell, breaking the price to 9S1ac, and the
close was steady at at $3.50.
Oats were quiet but firm during the morn
ing but were slow and easy during the last
hour, closing steady without material
change from Yesterday, except December,
which was higher
Hog products opened lower on an estimate
that the receipts of hogs at the yards would
reach Sc 900 head, while prices there were 10c
lower. Later in the day, however, the mar
ket firmed up, and the close was at moderate
advances over yesterday.

Groceries.

Trade in this line has been unusually ac-
tive the past week or two, but prices move
along In the same old ruts. Sugar is not so
strong as it was at the beginning Of the
week, and all prospects of an advance,
which was expected last week, have disap-
peared. At present prices the margin of
profit to the jobber is about obliterated.
Coffees are very firm, and Eastern dealers
are buying freely in the faith of an advance.

member it now. The child had nurse
whom she used to call Auntie. Somehow
never trusted that woman much. Well,
there's no use in going into particulars.
Little Belle and her nurse went out for q
walk on that Christmas morning. Neither
the woman nor the child has been seen
since. My poor wife died-it broke her
heart. And /, we'll r'-

entered the Office
MY God Whose child is that! What's
your name, girl! Who are youl" came
from the Texan in excited tones.

she. stood irresolute for a moment, cycling
the stranger suspiciously. Suddenly her
basket dropped and the light of recognition
shone In her eyes. why, you're my papa"
she said simply.
Tears streamed down the Texans face as
ne elasped the child in his arms.
THANK God!" said he, II have found
her at last, and so near Christmas too. This
is indeed Christmas blessingp'
Father and daughter left the Office to-
gether. 1t was afterwards learned that
Bellies supposed aunt was the nurse who
had kidnapped her and brought her to this
city six years since. The men about the
pig building heard of it, and as little Belle
mad gone to her Texan home the day fol-
lowing purse was made up among them,
and one of their number with it purchased
handsome silver cup, which is now on its
way south.

LITTLE BELLIES CHRISTMAS
Thrilling Reunion OF Father and Child on
the Eve of the Coming HOLIDAY

Every one who knew Little Texasr
agreed that she was the most amiable and
altogether the sweetest and most lovable
child to be found anywhere
A pretty child, too, was Little Texas. -,
with her wealth of golden curls, blue ewes
and sunny features.
She was q child of the people
Noone ever seemed to know who her
parents were, nor what was her real name
nor how or where she lived. That she was
poor was evident, as she earned daily a
pittance by selling flowers, mostly to the
occupants OF one OF the large Office build
ings on lower Broadway
she had smile and good word for
everybody, but was very reticent as to her
anteceoents. Belle, she said was her
name, and she lived, so she stated, with an
aunt somewhere under the big bridge.
But whether it was Belle Smith or Belle
Jones the child would never saw
MY aunt does not wish me to tell nv
name" she would answer when questioned
on the subject.
Little Belle then-she was only ten years
old-vlslted the various offices in the big
Broadway building each morning, and the
kind-hearted men bought her little bunch
es OF violets and roses, often paying many
times what they were worth, for little
Belle had such a sweet smile of thanks for
those who purchased her wares.
From day 10 day the chiid sold her
flowers, and, although daily questioned.
she would never reveal her full name nor
say where she lived. 1t was finally &C
cepted as matter of course. Little Belle
was mystery.
In one of the large Offices of the great
building one morning last week middle
aged man, with a full brown beard and
SLOUGH hat, careless and easy in his man
ners, but well dressed withal sat discuss
ing general topics with q party of gentle
men there assembled.
Eyes," said the stranger, christmas
comes but once year, as you say, but that
is just once too often for me-" At this
there was general exclamation of sur
prise on the part of his auditors. The
stranger continued:
st is sad story, and one that had its
beginning on Christmas day six years
ago. l had one of the prettiest homes
down in Texas that you ever saw. NV
