Go, take her answer, bird-on- bough,
That all the world may hear

And brooks, or all their silvery stops,

Democratic dispatches now admit that Major
Mckinley has altogether the best chance in the
Ohio contest, and only hold out hopes to Demo-
Gratis that they may be able to secure the legis-
lature, by aid OF the Peoples party in some dis
tricts, and thus to defeat Senator Sherman. It
is even asserted that the Democrats are selling
out their state ticket in desperate effort to
secure the legislature.

COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Dairy products are quiet. The advance of
Elgin creamery butter at the beginning of
the week does not appear to be justified by
events Markets for both creamery and
country butter are sluggish at our quota
tions. Supply of country butter is in ex-
cess of demand. Poultry is dull and slow.
Live turkeys are heavy stock at 10c per
pound and dressed at IA to 15c per pound
Consumers are evidently resting fr,m the
Thanksgiving surfeit, preparatory to the
Christmas holiday. Potatoes and, in fact,
all vegetables are weak and slow. Supply
of Florida oranges has been in excess of de-
mand for week or two past and drift of
markets has been steadily downward.

Monetary Matters in Good Shape, but No
New Features.
The local money market yesterday was
environed by the same conditions and in
f1uences as noted the previous day. There
was fair call for funds and more than
enough to meet it. The customary per
cent rate was maintained. Bank clearings
were s., ,272. 424 59 and balances, S457,050 q.
The Financial Chronicle takes this view Of
the business outlook: "The great and unin-
terrupted prosperity of railroad property
must speedily lead to greater expenditures
by managers of roads, and if so 1t is hardly
necessary to add that this one movement
will touch and tend to impart activity to
many important industries. Moreover, the
fact that the producing sections of the West
have not yet, but in very small part, reaped
the advantages of large crops, corn being
the surplus product in many of the States,
indicates that as the year progresses the
capacity of the people to supply their wants
more freely will increase with the passing
months"
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, ranging from 20 81 per cent; last loan,

A FAMILY WIPED OUT.
Only Three in a Household of Eight Escape
From Burning House.

From q Burning House.
DETROIT, Dec. 2.-Five persons lost
their lives at an early hour this morning.
About o'clock fire broke out in the gro.
cery of George j. Refs, and speedily COM
municated to the dwelling above the store.
Eight persons occupied the rooms, but three
of them, the servant girl and two boys,
Moxie and Tony Refs, escaped. When the
flames had been brought under control the
fremen and police began search for the
missing members of the family. When q
door leading to a rear stairway of the house
was broken open the bodies of Mr.. ReisI
and his wife were found, clasped in each
others arms at the foot of the stairway.
They had been burned to crisp in en-
deavoring to reach the open air. Why
they took the rear stairway will never be-
known; if they had gone down by the front
way they would undoubtedly have been
saved. As it was they rushed into fiery
furnace, for the conhagration did most dam,
age where their bodies were found.
The fremen then proceeded to the upper
floor, and there found the body of Charles
Refs, one of the sons, lying on the floor
near a window as if he had realized the
danger and had attempted to make his es-
cape DY lnaC egreSs lne unlortunate
young man had been suffocated. In one Of
the front rooms the firemen found the
bodies of the other two boys, Eddie and
Josie, who had been suffocated while in
bed The bodies were taken from the
building and removed to a livery stable
across the way. Following are the names
of the victims: George J. Ries, aged so;
Mrs. Refs, aged 45; Charles Refs, aged 22;
Josie Refs, aged II; Eddie Ries, aged 8. 1t
is believed that the fire originated in the
storeroom, where stove was found over
turned. The damage to the building and
contents was about g, 900.

dropped to ss4 at the close, and after the
last call it was offered still lower. That this
stock should be thus clipped is passing
strange to the uninitiated, when it is remem-
bered that the company claims to be i'll
good financial position and to have plenty
of orders.
Wheeling Gas improved it's position nearly
half a point, Citizens Traction O small frac-

Ihe December Future in Corn Nov the
subject OF Apprehension-A Dull Trade
in Grain, With a Net Loss for Wheat

CHlCAGo-Trading in all the grain pits
was uuil ana weak during most of the day
with fluctuations confined to moderate linn.
its. The early cables showed wheat and
corn both decidedly weak and lower in
Liverpool, and continued reports we're not
encouraging. Domestic markets were also
weak
around the opening it was reported that
6rddSt'eefs report would show an increase
In the available supply of wheat during the
week OF nearly 100000 bushels, while the
weather was as favorable for the winter
wheat crop as could well be expected. There
was ais a report that Beerbohm's compila-
tion of the worlds wheat crop showed an
excess of 1000 600 bushels over the crop of
1855, which was not especially small crop
nor noted for its high prices. About the
only items which relieved the outlook for
the bulls WIS the fact that the clearances
seaboard were reported at nearly 1,000,0 600
bushels. and that the clearances for the
week from all points to the continent and
the United Kingdom were nearly 100000
bushels less than the week previous.
December wheat opened &c off ut 90Hc,
and in spite of the bearish news worked its
way up slowly to 903lc on covering by shorts
their deal and began to sell again, weakness
followed and the price sagged off. assisted
by further weak cables, to $3.50: Short
covering to secure profits near the close
caused a reaction of &c, and the close was
steady at S95sc.
Corn opened 40 higher for December and
unchanged ior tie other months. The
market was firm for time, but later in the
day followed wheat, sagging of In the
middle of the session but reacting slightly
near the close December opened and closed
at an advance OF &c over yesterdays Close
while January is &c lower and May un-
changed. The superior strength in Decem-
Der was the result of a demand from shorts,

the session, recovering &c at the close.
