INDIANAPOLIS, IND,
SATURDAY Dec 20

]. L. Berry's Chicago advices report:
The feeling in wheat around the open
ing this morning was very strong, a con-
tinuation of that on the curb last night
and offerings during the entire session
were freely taken, advancing prices to
661ac. We note q marked falling off in
the English farmers deliveries for the
past week. and cables reflect a strong
market both on the continent and united
kingdom. Generally at the end of the
year there is great deal said about the
financial condition Of the country for
the coming months Of January and Feb
ruary. The past year has certainly been
a very stringent and trying one in the
financial field which has deprecated
values far below an apprehended stand
point, and has forced many a holder to
succumb to the sting OF bankruptcy in
consequence. And as we view the past
with a feeling OF regret, we also glance
into the future with a fervid belief that
Il has in store for the commercial world
all that could be reasonably desired
With money in free supply, we think the
failures, subject to the coming months,
will be tided over and that they will not
be more than the average for the past
ten years. The action of our market on
the last day OF the year is certainly en-
couraging TO holders. and we believe the
new year will bring with 1t restored con-
fidence. better prices and an improved
business to those who work their way
to a comfortable prosperity.
The buying of corn noted yesterday
continued today and the market was

MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Special.-Lasier,

chants, rooms Il and AZ, Sherman-st.
say of the market: The feeling at the
opening in wheat Saturday morning was
very strong. a continuation of that on
the curb Friday evening, and the offer
ings during the entire session seemed to
find a ready market, advancing the
price Of May to 66Bc. However the
session being a short one, only mOder-
ate business for the day was trans
acted. There was some buying for east
ern account and some local shorts
covered in order to even up not caring
10 remain short over the holidays. The
export clearances are larger than they
have been and the prospects are that the
visible supply this week will show n
small decrease. The impression seems TO
be gaining ground that the movement
from first hands will show a falling of.
The export clearances from five points,
including New Orleans, for the past
week reached a trihe over a million
bushels, or 10000 in excess of the pre-
ceding week. 1t is almost impossible TO
give comparative receipts at the primary
markets. for the figures last week were
for only five days, and the figures this
week include part of last weeks ar
rivals. There is a falling off in English
farmers deliveries for the week and
cables indicate a strong market both on
the continent and in the United King
dom. Usually at the close of the year
there is a good deal to be said about the
financial condition Of the country for
the opening months of the succeeding
year. The past year has been a string
ent and trying one in the financial field,
which has sent values below 10 succumb
to the string of bankruptcy in conse-
quence. While we view the past year
with a feeling of regret, we also look
forward into the future with the hope
and belief that it has in store for the
commercial world all that can be reason
ably desired With money in full supply
we think that the failures subject to the
opening months Of 1894 will be tided
over and hope that there will not be
more than the average for the past ten
years. The action in this market the
last day OF the year will bring with Il
restored confidence, better prices and an
improved business to those who are
working their way to a comfortable pros
perity.
The demand for corn Friday was con-
tinued Saturday and the market ruled
very strong in consequence. Bulls seem
10 be gaining little more nerve and
courage but are still cautious. The
oats market also ruled exceedingly
strong with a good legitimate con-
sunptiVe demand.

Cracksmen.

HUNTINGTON, Jan. l. Special. =
Roanoke, a small village ten miles north
east of Huntington. was the scene last
night of a lot of excitement. A bold
burglary and attempted bank robbery
was the cause.
AT about II o'clock a passer-by saw

surrounded the bank TO capture the
burglars.
The robbers were watched through a
front window as they worked. They ran
sacked the hardware store, stealing re-
volvers and knives, after which they
turned their attention TO the bank safe
This they were endeavoring to drill into
when they were alarmed by the acct
dental discharge of a shotgun by one of
the posse.
The robbers dashed through a back
window and fed in opposite directions,
followed by volley after volley from the
pursuers. which they returned briskly.
One thief was chased several miles into
the country, while the other stole a horse
and came to Huntington, closely fol-
lowed by the posse. a hot running night
was INDUCED in. but nobody was in
jured. When the posse arrived here
they lost track OF the robbers.
Officers are on the track Of two young
toughs of this city who took a horse
and buggy belonging to John Schoenell
and drove to Roanoke in the evening.
The horse and buggy was found hitched
in an alley back OF the bank after the
robbers escaped.

gy there this morning.

pension agency. NJ V B. Spencer is urg-
ing his candidacy vigorously and being
the first in the field has established
some strength. Capt. Charles Reese, u
gallant soldier with a heroic record, was
pushed forward today by his friends.
Maj. John H Rohan, another soldier,
also OF Fit Wayne, was mentioned today
in the nature of a surprise. He Ia a
grand officer in the catholic knights.
Neither Reese nor Rohan is pushing his
own candidacy. For mayor OF FIT. Wayne
Christian Bosker is making an active

EN-SheriR Gerber's Disastrous Trip
for n Load of Wood.
ROCKVILLE. Dec. 27.-Special.-
Jacob Gerber, ex-sheriff. has had a re-
markable escape from death.
He drove his wagon upon the high

dizzy and fell unconscious to the ground,
where he lay about two hours. Recover
ing consciousness he climbed into the
wagon on'y to be Frustrated by a sec
ond attack.
The team set off at full speed down
the steep hill and through the dense
timber. The wagon bounded from tree
TO tree and over stumps, logs and
gnarled roots for forty rods. when the
team came out into a narrow strip of
pasture which ends at the bottom in a
precipitous bank.
Fortunately the team encountered a
