6ANTIAGo, Oct. THE Chilian gov

OF abandoning its position that II has q
perfect right to arrest persons as they
enter or leave the precincts Of the Amer
ican legation. But while strenuously
insisting upon the possession OF this abb
stract right, the government Is at pres
ent making no attempt to put 1t in
practice. The partisans Of BAlmaceda,
who took refuge under Minister Egan's
roof, are still there, and no arrests have
been made during the past few days.
II cannot be learned that the govern
ment has In contemplation any plan for
asserting In tho near future the right of
arrest that is claimed. But 1t IL thought
that the present unsatisfactory situation
cannot be of long continuance.

DULUTH. Dec. 12.-Cash and December
opened at an advance of 14c above yester-
days close, and May went up lsc The bulk
of the trading was alone in cash and May
wheats. The receipts of wheat for the week
were small, amounting to only 93l eco br, and
the shipments only 10000 bu. The increase
in stock here is 10000 bu Strong cables
were the cause of the firmness here at the
opening; but the large exports from the
United States this week acted to prevent any
material rise III foreign markets Brad
streets estimate of the exports of wheat
from both coasts is 6.G3},0O0 bu. Cash ruled
fairly steady in This market up to noon, while
May lost Isc. The clearances from four
ports for the week are 3,401.70O bushels of
wheat, a decrease of 25S 200 bushels. The
decrease in wheat and flour for the week is
equivalent to 81, 800 bushels. The close here

QUIET IN GRAIN PITS.
Charges in Prices We're Very
Narrow on Change at

Maintaining a Pronounced
Bear Sentiment.

CHICAGO, Dec 12.-Wheat was extremely
quiet today, price chances very narrow and
while firm tone was maintained most of the
day. there was at no time any decided
strength. Cables, while quoting a steady
tone abroad, did not fail to note that trade
there was exceedingly slow, with buyers
holding off in view of the weakness in
America. The report that GERMANY had re-
duced the duty on wheat 30 per cent helped
the market some, though more by preventing
decline than any other way. The duty has
heretofore been 32I2 cents per busheI, and
the reduction amounts to ga cents per
bushel.
The bear sentiment is still pronounced and
is lead by Ream, with Cudahy. PardIdge and
other bear plungers acting in line with him.
Ream stood in the pit and sold generously
on all firm spots, but covered good deal Of
the big line sold yesterday and previously,
whenever he could do so at a good profit.
The bulls had no leader and acted in eau
tious, half -hearted and discouraged way
Milmine-Bodman took back some of the
wheat they sold yesterday. Clifford. Baxter,
Linn and the New Workers were good sellers.
Geddes. Kirkwood and Dunn made liberal
purchases.
The seaboard clearances were rather light,
aggregatng about 100000 bu. Late cables to
the board were all dull and lower, both in
Great Britain and on the continent. These
advices and continued selling caused the
market to weaken during the last hour. May
opened at Csc, sold to 9e14c. eased off to
917sc, back to eSssc. off to g7sSc, up to Csc
again, weakened and closed al 9734c.
Corn shows very little life for seller this
year. and kept steady al 54055c. There is
but little demand, and it begins to look
as if the shorts had pretty well evened
up on the big scare Of Wednesday last.
The nervousness seems TO be extending into
January and that future was higher, with
shorts active buyers. The receipts of con-
tract corn are still light, only 10 cars today
out of 243, and there is a growing apprehen-
sion as to how shorts will be filled. May was
steady within a range of 12c and closed at the
bottom. Oats were quiet and steady during
most of the session, but weakened, and
receded some during the last hour with other
cereals
Hog products quiet ard steady. Cudahy
was aliberal seller of pork, which was weak
early, but improved some. In the afternoon
Ream and Cudahy joined in an attack on
prices, which yielded the more readily be-
cause of the weakness in grains, going to the
bottom prices of the day. There was par
tial recovery, however, and the close was at
medium figures. Estimated receipts for Mon
day: Wheat, 360 cars; corn, $50 cars; OATS
22O cars; hogs. $4,000 head, and $4,000 next
week.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK Dec. 12-Today's stock mar
ket was almost a repetition of that or yesJer-
day, especially i'll showing good demand
for bonds. while the trading i'll stocks was
light, the latter being subject to heavy press
ure by the professionals, which impaired
weak tone to the dealings during most of the
session. Easy money rates in all the impOr
tant financial centers seem to be driving the
investment class into good investment bonds
and stocks as the only available means of
using their money. This condition of affairs
is looked upon as forerunner of better
prices.
The continued strength in foreign ex-
change and the Interpretation that there is
selling of American securities by foreign
holders renders two parties possible in the
stock market, and the bears are both active
and aggressive from time TO time. Today
the feature was the persistent pressure 10 sell

and was used to start the ball rolling, other
stocks scored equally as heavy net losses.

other encouraging bank statement The
only really strong points in the market today
were the low priced Specialties. and the Iowa
Central shares were most prominent.

the outcome of the unprecedented and
strongly mixed situation in the financial
world? There was no clear answer to this
question until after the crisis il Paris had
been adverted, for the course of the markets

a crash in Europe must inevitably spread

it still remains to be seen what methods i'm
poverished and bankrupt Russia will be
forced to employ. The operations of Rus
sian financiers in 1892 will furnish q specta-
Gle of unusual interest. But the fact that
the diplomats and bankers of Europe have
shown both determination and power to pro-

prevailing poverty. The appearance of in
vestment buyers in force this week shows
the view taken by our most intelligent cap
italists and gives grounds for the belief that
American finance has practically shaken
loose from Europe.
