suffered extreme punishment I was
snatchod, as it were, from business
circle in which had paid admission by
hard work and a struggle against my
record, and brought down here to suffer
solitary confinement for more than seven
long years. IL was bitter season Of my
life when, after hot legal contest, /
was brought into this building and
thrust intoa cell Almost any other
man, be he American or any nation, with
a grain Of poison about him, would have
resorted TO desperate methods. but ] never

the majority of business men and the
public in general all over the country
regarded this act as cruel one 10 a man

follies, suffered retribution, and had
settled down to get an honest living and

While forming an agreement TO pre-

CHICAGO, III, Dec. 17.-kennett, Hopkins &
Co: to J. A. McWhorter: The news has been
unimportant and fluctuations small with a con-
siderable amount reported taken for export at
st. Louis Trading was largely local. 1t was
y clearing up OF old business, but a more conf
dent feeling prevails and it is thought by con-
servativc operators that moderate rally is
due due and m many feel that prices have touched
the bottom for the present Corn and oats,
while not very strong have shown no weak
ness at any time and continue to be absorbed
by good parties, on soft spots In provisions
there has been heavy selling, supposed to be
for the account of q prominent holder: Hogs

seem to be willing to supply the demand;

the receivers are sellers of corn. During the
day scalpers took the market in charge with

vance at present. The interior movement shows
evidences of increasing Oats was weak with
receivers and elevator people selling, In pro-
visions, around the opening, outsiders were
buyers and also moderately during the day.
The large local longs fed the market cspcN
tally with pork. We notice that the outsiders
are gradually getting, the load that has bee
held heretofore for the concentrated long in
terest, consequently we feel that sales on
bulges Is the best policy.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 17.-Counselman & Day
to Cockrell Bros. Commission Company: May
after week of dulness, owing chiefly To con-
tinled heavy marketing in the northwest and
lighter export movement. Trading is
principally for May deliveries, and operators
are actuated by sentiment based by the long
element on low prices. To our mind the out
come must be determined by the early
spring crop, prospects and the cX-
port demand. II the bears win there
Is -, possibly 3 per cent more in
selling. II the other side is right il is likely to
be right for n 30 per cent rise, Corn has n
strong under tone because operators suspect
bull manipulation may crop out sometime
during the winter, and hesitate to start the
market while receipts Of contract grades run
so small. Oats is duh, firm and unattractve
for speculation, Provisions present no new
feature. The Cudnhys seem. satisfied with
their seasons profits and continue TO unload
upon the new crop of eleventh hour bulls
Meanwhile the restricted consumption owing
to high prices is becoming more CONSPICUOUS,

There Was Quite Good Demand for
Wheat Yesterday.
CORN AND OATS WERE MUCH EASIER
Provisions Were on the Decline Soon After
the Opening Untu Near the CLOSE
Cables Were Again Weak and
Quoted Lower Prices.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 17.--Thcre was good de-
mand for wheat every time II got down to
76asc or lower, and millions seemed for sale at
76Ssc for May. Ii closed with 76fc bid. Corn
and oats were easier, oats being the weaker OF
the two toward the close Corn Is about Lice
lower and oats are of ac. Provisions were on
the decline soon after the opening until near
the close. Pork compared with yesterday, is
l5c lower; January lard is 1Oc higher and May
21iac lower Ribs are of from 7isc to 1oc.
The conditions seem to paralyzc operators
In wheat Prices appeared too low To en-
courage selling, and too weak to warrant
much buying. Cables were again weak and
quoted lower prices. From both coasts the
exports of wheat and flour were reported to
be about 100000 bu. smaller than during
the preceding week, while from the Atlantic
ports the exports of wheat alone were about
65O,0OO bu. smaller. The receipts at primary
markets FOR the week were about 10000 bu.
less than last week.

100000 to 10000 bn, though some parties
crease The feeling early was tame and
prices declined 9sc, then became stronger and

For the closing day of the week there was
quite an active business in hog products,
mainly credited to local operators The mar
kct was greatly unsettled and prices iluctu-
atcd considerably bly-avcraging materially
! lower on all the leading articles. The market
opened stronger, but after few pur-
| chascs lacked general support and room
traders took advantage of the situation
| TO dispose of considerable property. At this
| iuncturc, the local long interest was credited
! with rather free offerings and prices declined
| quite rapidly, notwithstanding some prom

rather liberal purchases. Toward the close

were widcned somewhat. The receipts of

Very few people in the city realize the inn

WAS stated that the Omaha Brewing asso-
