Stocks.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Wheat was strong and
advancing during the forenoon today. but
later 1t grew weak and made a decided
slump, closing materially lower. The In
huences which governed its movements were
chiefly local. The early news was chiefly of
bearish character Liverpool prices were
12d lower; the English visible supply showed
an increase of 100000 bu; the worlds ship
ments 10 Europe during the past seventeen
weeks amounted to $4,000 600 bu, or 1900
900 bu above its requirements; the last week,
however, showing a decrease of 100000 blu
compared with the week before; the deliver
les here on December contracts were heavy,
aggregating 100000 bu.
On the other hand there was q decrease of
$4,000 bu in the amount on ocean passage,
tue receipts i'll the Northwest were rather
light and the rise III temperature was looked
Oh as unfavorable to the coming crop of
winter wheat. These things, however, were
not as effective bull arguments as the cover
ing of considerable lines of shorts by Cudahy
and Partridge, many of the smaller fellows
following their lead. Then, too, the fear of
December liquidation, which has been de-
pressing factor some time, lost its influence
after the deliveries today. and this with the
steady decline which has been going on for
some time, led TO some buying by the friends
OF wheat, while the selling furore was some
what checked.
The result of 1t all was steady advance
December opened lac lower at 9I14c, and
steadily advanced to 02c. Then the lower
closing cables, together with increased stocks
at Liverpool, created weakness There was
also dispatch received claiming that Beer
bohm made the worlds wheat supply 80 Co.,
600 bu larger than 1882 but why this COM
parison should have affected the market it is
difficult TO say. There no doubt was a good
deal of wheat thrown on the market some
on long account bought early. and some
short wheat. the way prices tumbled
shortly before the close, from 92c December
dropped in the last hour to 90$sc, and closed
at 9Jl2c.
Corn was strong early on covering by
shorts who had mScalculated the effects of
the November deal. They had sold short on
the theory that there would be a reaction
after that deal was closed out. Finding that
they were mistaken this morning, they began
TO buy in their shorts. Decem Der, which
opened at 46Ssc, was bid up to A. 7sc. but
broke with wheat to 46lsc. at which it closed
Oats followed corn, and were without indie
pendent feature.
Hog products opened easier. owing to the
free deliveries and the continued enormous
receipts OF and lower prices for hogs. There
was rather free covering by shorts, how
ever. and prices rallied some after r. time:
then there was another recession. and the
close was at or near the bottom and at mod
crate declines from yesterdays close.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

TICKET AGENTS TO MEET
To Consider the Recent Wholesale
Discharges.

A special meeting of the executive
committee of the International Associa-
ton of Ticket Agents is called for Dec.
l6 at Cleveland. o. The committee is
composed of S. II. Wallace, president.
Philadelphia; II. E. Day. vice president,
Jacksonville, Fla; G. E. Stone, vice
president, St. Paul; NJ. G. Carrel, treas
urer, and E. +. Lackner. Denver; Il. w.
Vernman, c. ID. K. NOelke, New York;
c. W. Paris, Cincinnati; r. Brown,
Louisville; Ii. Lihon, st. Louis, and T.
Morley, Chicago. The meeting called is
to be secret one, and the object viii
not be known until the committee
meets. The suppOstion is that it is in
reference to the discharge of the ticket
agents on the Lake Shore road some
few weeks ago, and the Burlington
road, which, they say, is responsible for
their discharge.
However it has not been proved that
Mr.. EuStis is to blame in the matter, as
the facts have never been clearly stated,
but the ticket agents claim that they
have the original voucher which fur
nished the evidence against them. Hot
shot has been poured brOadSide from
the prominent ticket agents throuhhout
the country, denOuncing the Burling-
ton and the Lake Shore and all those
who were connected with the affair. A
great effort on the part of the ticket
agents has been made to have the gen.
eral passenger agent of the burlington
make statement. They claim that the
commission voucher, which led to the
discharge of the ticket agents on the
Lake Shore, was furnished by this
road to the Lake Shore. which resulted
in a wholesale discharge of some of
their best men in the association.
Just what the outcome of this meet
ing will be is difficult to say, but some
action must be taken by this association
as the discharge of these agents
affects their organization beyond the
dignity of any association of men, who
take any pride in such thing.

CHICAGO, Dec. AT the regular
meeting of the Western Passenger asso-

with the first Tuesday in January, 1892,
the regular meetings of the association
should be held bi-monthly instead of
monthly. In the appeal of the Chicago,
st. Paul e. Kansas City road from the
decision of the chairman in the mileage
case, the decision of the chairman was
sustained. The subject of the scale of

and consideration of the subject of the
establishment of rate bureau was de-
ferre6 until next meeting that the latter
may be further investigated.

ROCK ISLAND PINCHED,
Must Pay Over Percentages on
Excursion Tickets.

11ACufSlOn 1IckeCS.
CHICAGO, Dee. 1.-Some time in Sep
TENDER the Burlington, Cedar Rapids q
Northern road sold round trip excursion
tickets to party of thirty persons from
Cedar Rapids, TO-, to GAINESVILLE, O.,
and return at $50 for the round trip.
The tickets were good over the Rock
Island road between West Liberty and
Chicago, and no such rate had been
authorized. Chairman Finley preferred
charges against the Rock Island as being
responsible for the conduct of its out
side connections, which is not amenable
to the rules and regulations of the West
ern Passenger association. The case
was duly heard and Chairman Finley
issued his decision. He holds that the
charges are sustained and that the Rock
Island must pay over to the association
the full proportion which should have
accrued on such tickets at the first class
rate in force at that time.
