A Hold Your Wheat Circular.

ST.. PAUL, Dec. 12.-The Alliance organ.
The state, ia out this week with another
Hold Your Wheat circular and presents
the usual array of figures to show the
farmer will profit by following the advice
laid down therein. 1t holds Russia is en-
tirely out of the race and India practically
so, and present and future deliveries from
farmers will fill but a small portion of the
requirements. II does not advise the
farmer to create unnecessary scarcity or
repudiate debts, but to sell only what he is
obliged to when receipts are large aud in
creasing, and when they are on the decline
sell only certain portion each north.
The exporting capacity of the United
States is figured at 140, OOO, 900 bushels more
than last year, which falls 140, 600, 900 short
of supplying the worlds deficit. This no.
0OO, 1000 bushels would supply Europe with
bread for nineteen and ope-half days only.
Taking all this into account the author of
the circular asserts that if the farmer does
not get twice what is now offered for
wheat it is his own falut.

The San Francisco Grand Jurv ILLEGAL

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-The state
supreme court by five justices against two,
decided today the present grand jury of
the city and county of San Francisco is an
illegal body.
The question came before the supreme
court on the application of ex-Assembly-
man Bruner for writ Of prohibition to
restrain Superior Judge Wallace from pro-
ceedings against him under the indictments
found by the grand jury charging Bruner
with malfeasance in Office. Chief Justice

THE MONEY MARKET.
Jay Gould and His Followers are
Said to be Short
On the Misunderstanding Episodes on the
Street Predicted-The Vanderbilt Forces
Taking a Hand.

New YORK, Dec. 12-"The money mar
ket is on the eve of one of the most excit-
ing episodes in the history of the street."
said George Crouch to Commercial Aduer
ttSer reporter to-day. "Jay Gould, his son
George and their followers are away short
on the market and the point has been about
reached where they will begin to buy in.
Everybody, of course, knows that this will
create sharp advance in stocks. 1t ap-
pears to me to be duel between the Gould
and Vanderbilt forces. 1t has been known
for some time that there was
AN UNPRECEDENTED SHORT INTEREST IN AM
EEIoAN STOCKS,
and on settlement days, which occur forth
nightly, the London people have naturally
wondered and asked who the people were
on the bear side, which is only natural
with big firms carrying any amount of
stocks.
sNow, why did Mr. Gould, who has more
ready money than, perhaps, any man in
this country, look with favor on the great
export of gold unless he desired to bear the
market! The heavy export caused little
alarm on the street at the time almost $780,
600, 900 was being sent to Europe, of which
only about S37, 000 900 has been returned
i
in general that Mr. Gould was
LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LARGE Ex-
PORT.
1t is well known that when Gould got the
controlling interest of the Union Pacific he
opposed Charles Francis Adams, who was
ousted, and some say evidently tried to
throw the road into the hands of q receiver,
but that Morgan and the Vanderbilts took
charge of the floating debt for three years
and blocked the plan. When these facts are
considered IL will be seen that the Gould
people stand to lose something up in the
millions. The spectators, however, are
not making any money out of the deal, but
the investors who buy stock out and out
are the people who are reaping the harvest.
Some people say that Gould's only saliva
tion will be some terrific crash such aa
black Friday in which event he can buy
in his short interests at profit. But l
think Gould will emulate Napoleon in a
certain sense. AS long as Napoleon was
advancing with his army, he carried every
thing before him and the enemy fed; but
when ne gave the order to retreat the Cos
socks wheeled around and fastened his
steps"
OTHERS coRoBoRATED MR.. CROUCH,
the majority adding that there was no
clique or combination to down Gould, but
| that it was the natural course of the market
and that Gould had placed himself in the
| predicament set forth and would probably
| pay tolls before he got through.
At Mr.. Gould's offices it was said that.he
had been down town to-day, George had
gone to the country and Eddie, who was
the only representative in the office, said
that the people on the street were famous
for guessing, and this time they had guessed
