COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
The Movement of Staples Moderate,
With Prices Little Changed.
HOG PRODUCTS A LITTLE HIGHER.
Rut Otherwise the Markets Are Qniet and
Featureless.
THE SUPPLY OF POULTRY EXHAUSTED

SATURDAY, Dec. "a
In staple goods the movement OF the
week ending to-day was not such as to call
for extended comment At this season OF
the year operations are conducted only In
response to pressing the necessities, the de-
sire on all hands being to carry as light
stocks as possible over into the new year.
1t is also time for stock taking, and, as
nothing of consequence is attempted In the
way of anticipating the future, few intiu-
ences are brought to bear to change the
course of values; hence staples are without
feature as rule, and it is safe to say that
there will be no radical price changes be-
fore the sails are trimmed to catch the trade
At the meeting of the pork packers to-day
quotations on California hams, shoulders
and lard were advanced Nc. All other
articles were permitted to remain IN
changed, but the market generally was
quoted strong.
The poultry market was pretty well
cleared up to-day. turkeys, ducks and geese
being all picked up early at unusually h1gh
prices. The supply of turkeys was really
short, fresh stock being unobtainable late
in the day at any price. Shipments TO TINS
made for the Thanksgiving trade, and in
consequence good prices we're Cbta1neu anu
the market left comparatively care
and in good shape for post-Christ-
mas shipments. Prices quoted in this
report are merely nominal. They are below
to-day's closing prices, but it is douDttul II
the stock offered when the market opens up
Tuesday will bring any more.
In q general way the grocery market Is
strong, but, as rule, dealers nre not look
ing for any further consequential prlce
changes this year.
Grain continues to rule easy, and feed and
hay are weak under big receipts. Flour Is
harelH steady.

CREsTs AND THEIR ORIGIRa

They Are of an Ancient Origin Being Men
toned by Homer and Virgil.
Crests are ascribed to the Carians and
they are of very ancient origin. They are
mentioned by Homer and Virgil and de-
scribed as in use among the heather gods
and goddesses. Thus the crest to Minerva's
helmet was an owl. Mars bore lion or til
ger and Jupiter Ammon a rams head.
These symbols were formerly placed on
the helmet and we're great marks of honor.
only worn by heroes of great valor or by
those who were advanced to some superior
military command. Richard /. had crest
on his helmet resembling a plume of feath-
ers; Richard II. wore lion on a cap of dig
nity above the crown on his helmet; Alex
ander III. of Scotland had plume of feath-
ers, and James I. wore lion. In the if
teenth and sixteenth centuries, according
to the Brooklyn Eagle, the crest was de-
scribed as being a figure placed under q
wreath, coronet or cap of maintenance above
the helmet or shield. A crest was anciently
worn on the heads of companders in the
field, and then only in order to distinguish
them from their followers. After the insti-
tuition of the order of the garter, and in imi-
tation of E lward Ill, all knights compan-
ions of the order began to wear crests.
This practice soon became more general,
and they we're assumed by all those who
considered themselves legally entitled to
bear arms.

A LITTLE GAME OF DRAW.

DeWoH Hopper Tells How It Saved His
Life-A Christmas Eve wreck-The
Crew Was Drunk and Death Was the
Penalty.
About twelve years ago, Christmas time,
when nv only ambition in life was to see
my name in big letters and my SiameBe
face in refreshing roseate colors plastered
over the country fences and city billboardS,
1 was enjoying my first experience a. =
manager and the mead of a great
comedy company. On the Satur-
day night before Christmas, which fell on
Sunday, we played at Meridian, Miss, and
were booked to play on the next night,
which was Christmas, in New Orleans. The
passenger train waited for US for two hours
after the performance in order to get US to
the Crescent City in time. I expected to
meet nv partner and manager, Jacob
Goshe, at Mobile-about two hours ride
from Meridian. 1 thought would enjoy .
ride on the engine by night and obtained
permission to do so.
1 already had nv foot on the cab of the
engine and was about to get on when Will
lam Harris, a member of nv company,
asked me to fill up game Of poker Some
bigoted people may consider such diversion
inappropriate and opposed to the religious
impressions and the sweet carolings of
Christmas time, but my readiness to accept
the invitation to enjoy quiet game OF
''draw" saved my life. An hour later our
train ran into q freight train on the State
line between Mississippi and Louisiana
Two men on our engine and four others on
the freight engine we're killed.
The scene of horror and excitement that
followed battles my powers of description.
The engineer of the freight train was
brought into our sleeper He was supposed
to be dead and was put on an improvlSed
berth. One of the wounded was carried into
the smoker He was horribly burned and .
call was made for some vaseline. went
into the sleeper to get the article from some
of the girls in our company. Passing the
berth of the supposed dead engineer L was
startled by cold and vice-like grasp on
nv wrist. A voice filled with an agony Of
emotion and suffering, such as hope never
to hear again, cried out, ''For Gods sake
talk to me"
The engineer was not yet dead. could
not move. For ten minutes he held me by
the wrist. He uttered an awful strain Of
blaspbemy. 1t was simply horrible. He
raved of the terrible penalty which ne and
his associates on the freight train had paid
for their reckless drunkenness. From what
he said gathered that he, the fireman, the
feeder and the brakeman on the freight
train had all been drunk. They had paid
fearfully for their holiday conviviality.
While all this was going on could SEQ
through the window a crowd gathered out
side about the burning cab of the engine.
The darky feeder was pinned down in such
way that it was absolutely impossible to
release him. He was slowly being burned
to death, and, delirious with pain, he made
the scene still more weird with the most
mournful chanting of negro hymns. 1t
made an impressI on upon me that can
never forget. DEWoLF HOPPER

LOCAL SECURITIES.

A Quiet Week, With Gains and Losses
Nearly Equally Divided-The Only
Radical Changes Are in the Gassers,
fractions and Industrials.
The transactions on the local board during
the week ending to-day aggregated 8, 147
shares of stock, 81, 900 bonds and 500 scrip,
against 1876 shares last week and ], 556
shares the previous week The disposition
to trade was not very marked, mainly be-
cause of the proximity of the winter holi-
day season; and because of the un-
settled and uniavorable condition of
the money market particularly at con-
trolling points, the tendency of values was
downward. 1t must be snid, however, that
the market held up remarkably well. Con-
ditions generally were not conducive to
buoyancy of values, and i'll view OF TINS 1act
the gains established must be accepted as
evidences OF inherent merit and indicative
of the probable course of the general market
under normal conditions. The changes of
note, as the result Of the weeks operations,
were as follows:
Advances-M. & NJ National bank, q;
Citizens traction, IA: P.& B-rraction, Il; Pitts
burg, Youngstown and AshtabuIa railroad,
x; Pittsburg and Castle shannon, l; Luster
Mining Company,H; Westinghouse A1rbrake,

Close of the Market.
The holiday spirit was very strong on
Change to-day, and those present at the
last call of the week did not appear to care
to do more than 90 through the motions of
trading. The only transaction was in Luster
Mining Company, 100 shares, seller-6O, selling
at 9H. The closing bids and offers are ap-
pended:

A SHORT HOG CROP
Causes, Universal Dizziness in the Packing
House Business.

Causes, Universal Dizziness in the Packing
House Business.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-The packing house busi-
ness has reached dullness not paralleled
for many years. Five thousand men have
been discharged and the plants of big pack
ers have been working at less than half
their capacity since December ]. This un-
usual condition of things is brought
about by the unusual shortage in
hog receipts And unless the supply
is speedy increased further reduc-
tions in the operating forces will be
made necessary. Statistics for November
show a shortage in hog receipts OF 154O,OOO,
as compared with November, 1891. Chicago
for the same period this year packed $50, 600
against ], 40, 600 last year. Leading packers
admit that there does not seem to be any
immediate relief, since the shortage Is daily
becoming greater. And some of them go so
far as to assert that no relief can come until
next springs crop of hogs is marketed
Usually at this time of year packing houses
are running at their Iull capacity, but now
the remarkable scarcity OF hogs and the big
makes the packing of pork decidedly costly
and Improbable. The shortage Is ascribed
to various causes. Robert Strahorn, who
has been in the business for over ~ years
speak in the matter, says: 1.-THE early spring
rains played a prominent part IN the
situation. The continued wet weather u
hogs that would be marketable now.
Then the low prices of product early in the
spring made farmers careless, and, instead
OF keeping their hogs as they usually do un-
til the holidays, they fattened them on corn
early and sent them to the market. There
is and will be q demand for fresh pork here
and a demand from Europe for picked
meats, which takes all the receipts, leaving
little for packers TO put in their own eel
lars" Another big packer said that. while
prices for hogs had advanced to almost
double that of year ago, prices for provis-
ions have not kept pace with the advance
in hogs, consequently the season has not
been q profitable one for the packers. No
change for the better is anticipated for sew
eral months.
