CHICAGO CHANCE.

CHICAGO. Dec. 31 The closing session of the board Of trade for 1894 was marked by the usual indifference to trading which character izes the final business day of the year of that association. May wheat opened at 57ss057s4c, sold between 577sG5Sc and 57l2c, closing at 57Ad5 577sc, lsdAc higher than Saturday. ash wheat was unchanged.
 Corn-No disposition to trade existed in corn, and quiet, unattractive market was the consequence. With firm wheat market as d guide. prices lost no thing, and at the close were fractionally higher than Saturday, May corn opened at 4sls d4sAc, sold between 4sA@4sEs and 4o1sc, closing at 4SAc, a shade higher than Saturday. Cash corn was un- changed.

 Proyisions-The opening on products was firm and higher. Succeeding the operations at the start the market was almost blank, although the gains which were made were not lost during the session. The close was 17l2c higher than Saturday for May pork, 10c higher - for May larc and 7l2a higher for May ribs.

of those who incline to waiting and
cautious policy. The crops develop
nothing new. So far a. respects wheat,
the general conclusion is that We may
calculate upon something less than n
good average yield, though the farmer
seems likely to be compensated by
higher prices than those OF last year;
while, in regard TO corn, the balance OF
Western estimates favors very large
increase of output over 1894. In the
industries at large, there is no abate-
ment OF the sanguine expectations that
have developed within the lest six
months The rise in raw materials
and the continuance Of the remarkable
recovery in wages from the decline OF
1898 and 1894, shows conclusively that
manufacturers are anticipating a mate
rial increase of consumption; and 1t is
to be presumed that their expectations
are based upon facts existing in the
conditions OF trade.

Spurious NIelts Were Made.

this morning Mint Inspector Mason
was recalled. Mr.. Mason said there
was no doubt but that spurious melt
was passed down from the former adj
minlstration. There were eleven bars

1880 ounces. The original entry
read, "Gold deposit II; weight 3
146GO." AS an expert Mr.. Mason felt
free to state that spurious melt
could be easily made in the Mint and
come to this administration from the
former one, and was made in the de-
livery of June, 1893. This spurious
melt IS worth $4,000 less than the melt
for which it was substituted.

CITY OF sherman vs. w. c Conner
ct ol,--Wlit OF error to the fifth dis
trlct: Suit by Connor to recover on a
contract to furnish the city with Il
system OF wuterworSs and certain
supply OF water. The city refused to
accept the works because the supply
OF water was not sutilcient and the test
provided by the contract had not been
made. Common abandoned the work
and the city took possession Of the
system and has since used It, Common
sued for the contract price and In the
alternative for the reasonable value OF
the works, The city asked for damages
on account of the breach OF the con-
tract. There Is no statement OF facts
and the case is here on the findings of
the court The contract provided for
a water supply OF 100000 gallons per
day: the supply obtained was $4,000 per
DAY. As matter of law the court held
that Connor was entitled to recover
the reasonable value of the works
found TO be 1850. less the sum paid
by the city to Connor during progress
OF the work. Si3,lOo, The trial court
also held that the city was not en-
titled to any recovery for damages in
this case"
l. The construction OF a system fur
nish!ng only 10000 gallons cannot be
held to be substantial compliance
with contract to furnish a system
with capacity OF 100000. and hence

particular, Not having performed the
contract, he cannot maintain an ac-
tion for the contract price or any part

has taken possession he Is entitled to
