Chicago Change.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The short interest crea- ted in wheat recently was evidently a largo one, and at the present time 1t is not in a very complacent mood. Toddys market owes quite a respectable gain in prices to the uncomfortable feeling displayed by this class of traders. The sentiment early was rather undecided. The fear of something in the nature of an European complication tended to defer selling and buyers were cor respondingly backward. Although prices opened firm it took only moderate offerings to cause them to recede. After noon the movement in an opposite direction set In, and at the close the feeling was strong at the outside quotations of the day. May wheat opened at 611sQ61Ac, sold between 604 and 611sc, closing at the outside, Bc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat in the sample department was firm and 19c higher.
 Corn-In obedience to the influence ex- erted by wheat corn declined in the morning and advanced in the afternoon The open ing trading was at firm prices but the lack of bull ardor and the downward trend of wheat soon gave the market a different phase.-The rally before the close was pure ly matter of sympathy. May corn opened at 29Q291se, sold between 2S5sQ29 and 29ls6p 29l3c, closing at the outside, B0Ac higher than yesterday. Cash corn was active.
 Oats-Business was light in oats. The feeling was irregular. Opening trades were at steady priceS but an easier tone ruled later Towards the close firming up pro- cess set in and at the close the best quota tions of the day prevailed. The variations of wheat and corn furnished the inspiration to oats. May oats closed Ac higher than yesterday. Cash oats were firm
 Provisions-The buying of pork by several packing concerns at and around the open ing was the noticeable incident of the day in provisions. When 1t ceased the vim, if the moderate activity was possessed of any, disappeared. At the close May pork was 2lsc lower and May lard and ribs each a shade lower than yesterday.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Dec. 6-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton rose to 10 points, lost considerable of this and then rallied and closed steady at a rise for the day of to 1c points, with sales of 17S,600 bales.
 Today's features: Prices advanced in spite of the fact that the receipts both at the ports and interior towns for the week were considerably more than had been expected. The interior towns were expected to get 40, 900 bales but they got nearly 20,000 bales more than this. Liverpool expected during the week to get somewhere from 195.000 to 215, 600 bales, and got something over 23l GOO bales. The quantity to be brought into sight was estimated at one time at only 3O0, GOO patch 1t is 352 900 bales, against 2S1, ,000 bales last week. Furthermore the New Orleans estimates for tomorrow were liberal The bears call attention to the fact that in about a month the planting of the new crop will commence, and they insist that the average next season is likely to be the largest ever planted. For all that prices advanced, for the bears lacked the courage of their con- victions and covered on very moderate terms. There was some war talk, but this had no effect. Local covering put up the price, and that covering was due to the ac- tivity and higher prices in Liverpool, more favorable reports from Manchester. less anxiety to sell the actual cotton and the fact that although the crop movement is larger than has been expected, it is after all just about the same as in the small crop year of 1892. Furthermore while the inte- rior stocks show a gain of 3S, ,000 bales for the week, 1t is well known that a considerable proportion of the cotton now held in south turers were caught mapping last season, and they show a disposition to profit by the les son of past experiences this season. Spot cotton will govern the speculation, it is be- lieved, in the immediate future, and that is regarded as bull principle.

In Wall Street.

New York, Dec. 6.-The bulls in the indus trials had their opponents on the run from past it has been fashionable in speculative circles to go short of these specialties on prospects of congressional interference. threatened litigation and law suits actually begun, until nearly active trader on the street had out line of short contracts. In fhe industrials those contracts reached an enormous total, and all the bears needed to make their campaign success was some unfavorable development to begin the de- of congress to rush ahead with legislation against trusts was disappointment, but the first serious blow to the hopes of the shorts was given yesterday by Judge Showalter, who practically threw the Pitts Barrows case out of the court. Following the announcement of this decision there was a wild rush to cover and in their anx- iety to get back their contracts brokers bid prices up on themselves. The stock opened almost simultaneously with the dropping of the chairman's gavel. A further rise to 69A followed, after which some of the more acquired in the recent decline from 70 down ito 6S1a, and the price receded to 67ss. Trad ing then dropped to normal proportions, and the price hoyered about 6S@6Sh until near the close, when it jumped to 691s. Sugar was taken in hand and marked up 1ss per cent, at the close a big buying order was placed in the room and the stock scared to 1075sq1077s Tobacco after a decline to 769s jumped to 795s. Leather preferred after an early period of weakness and decline to 62s4 rose to 6iA. Speculation in rhe railway list was checked at one time by the engagement of $26O0,O00 of gold for export to Europe to- morrow, but in the afternoon session bet ter demand prevailed, and on covering of shorts an advance of AQh per cent took place, the improvement being well dis iributed The closing was strong under the influence of the spurt in Sugar. Net changes show gains of A@A per cent in the railway and %91% per cent in the indus trials. Total sales were 295.007 shares. of which 225. 300 were in the indusrials.
