CHlcAGO-The wheat market opened at
decline Of sake under the price 1t was selling
for as the market closed on Friday. The first
trades in May were at $3.50, with few trades
at 96c about the same time. The cables were
easier, the public dispatch quoting Va decline
at Liverpool. The first half hour was the
weakest Of the session, and prices advanced
until the call price had been reached. At the
latter point there was considerable selling,
which held the advance in check for while
around 97c and VIC, but the buying was stim-
ulated by the reported good demand for ex-
port at the seaboard
The visible supply estimates ranged vari-
ously from l5OO. 900 bushels decrease to an in
crease of about that quantity. California ad-
vices were to the effect that dry weather was
spelling the prospects for their growing crop.
Everything had bullish tone in the last half
hour, under which the entire decline of yester-
day and this morning was handsomely recov-
cred, with the closing quotation for May wheat
971sc, and trading going on briskly at 9Sc before
the echo of the closing bell had ceased TO sound

CTNCINNATI, Jan. 4-The official e1-
pert employed by the Board of Revi-
sion of this city has reported the result
OF his examination of the extraordinary
sum Of $500 paid by Controller Stevens

usual annual outlay for which is $500.
The report shows that the Controller
b. paid for tags, wagon and carriage
lirenses ior five years, including the year
1894, and that he had also paid 81, 800 for
$4,000 tags for which no date could be

Stock trading was below zero Saturday, only
one sale being made, that of 20 shares Of cleo
trio at 1874. This was not discouraging how
ever, as little had been expected so soon after
one of the great holidays of the year. There
were 30 bids and q offers, showing about as
many bulls as bears.
The fact that stocks are generally in strong
hands. weak holders having been pretty
thoroughly shaken out during the recent
furry, leads to the belief that there will be
steady appreciation from this time on until
values reach respectable level. With forced
sales, for which there seems to be no longer a
reason, eliminated frem the problem, those
who are predicting an advance are more likely
than not to realize their expectations.
Closing prices. as compared with those of the
previous Saturday, show fractional losses in
Philadelphia Gas and Central Traction and
corresponding gains in Luster, Pleasant Valley
and Switch and Signal. Electric held its own.
The rest Of the list was featureless so far as
figures were concerned.
The total sales of stocks Saturday were l03 975
shares. including: Atchison. $3.50: Lackawanna,
II, l80; Louisville and Nashville $3.50; Missouri

of Last Year.
Owing to the weather and the unusual eau
tion of financiers, business at the banks since
the opening of the year is of considerably
smaller volume than at the corresponding time
in 1890. This leaves room for tito grow. and
that it will do SO no one entertains DOUBT. By
the middle Of the month settlements will be
out of the way and everything squarely on its
feet. Improvement will then be in order.
Money is easier than it was a week or ten
days ago, but there is none to waste after TAX
ing care or regular customers. AS it is easing
up all round, however, there is strong proba-
bility of relaxation of the tension here.
Bankers say there is good movement from

ern centers. They predict comfortable con-
dition of the cash market by the end of the
