Summary
CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Chicago Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Wheat closed
firm today without change in price of
May delievry, but Lie cent lower for De-
cember. Near the close 1t was reported
that orders for 400, 600 ibushels of No.
red winter were received today, but owing
to all advance in the premium demanded
by the holders only 1760 bushels were
disposed of in round lots, 26, 900 bushels
of it at four cents premium over Dsoem-
Der and 10000 bushels at a higher rate.
No. 3 hard spring wheat sold in the sam
pie market at 571s cents to 60 to store,
when regular No. , for Decem ber was 56N
cents. Potter Brothers, brokers, bid
Armour & Company agent 4 cent over
December Lrice for another 5O0 600 of No.
1 northern, in addition to 500, 900 bushels
they bought OF him yesterday, finally that
for any part of 1,000,00 bushels, but
Armour & Co mpany bad no more for
sale. The trade was light throughout and
the range in prices for tho day was only
a cent per bushel. At the close Dscem
ber shows, compared with quotations of
the day before, a decline of Lie cent and
May is unchanged. The latest bid in the
pit was 56ls cents for Decem Der and GOA
cents or May.
May corn closed at 90 cents. Trade
was quiet and the feeling easier.
May oats opened at 2Oss to 20l< and
closed at 20 to 20H cents.
Provisions averaged easier on account
of liquidation of Decemb ber pork. The
futures in pork were not much affected
by the weakness in December until near
the close when they droppeu below yes
tsrday's closing price to the extent of s
cents for January and 21a cents for May.
Lard and ribs for January and May are
substantially as on the day before.
The herald., 1895-12-01

and $i33, 100 in spscie. There was
heavy excess of interior receipts at this
point DUNG the same period, so that the
decrease in cash m ore nearly represents
the actual condition of the banks, al
though tho statement cannot he accepted
as accurate is showing the real standing
OF the banks at the close OF the week.
The contraction in loans for the week
was SO, 6s2, 800. due perhaps to liquidation
of the speculative account more than
from a mercantile source.
Deposits have been contracting rapidly,
the loss since September 14th having
been no less than fifty-one million dol
lars. The banks, therefore, are IN bet
ter position than was the case earlier in
the season, ana this spasmodic advance
in the money rate of late Is justified thus
far.
The business transacted at the clearing
houses last week, with a holiday inter-
vening, amounted to $514, 265, s2S. If put
IN one dollar bills, this would mako a
girole long enough to reach around the
earth nearly two and one-half times.

VERMONT COPPER MINES.

1t will oe of interest to our readers
to know that the prospects are favora
BILE for the revival of the copper min
ing industry in our State, which only
q few years ago was ffourishing and
paying industry.
The opening up of the exceptionally
rich mines in the West and the ease
with which the ores could be smelted,
has for some time past diverted aIten-
ton of miners and capitalists from
cur Vermont mines; but now that the
mines that produced eighty and ninety
per cent of copper are now able to
produce, like our Vermont mines, only
seven per cent copper, attention is once
more directed TO Vermont. Owing to
the newer methods of mining the
mines west are now paying larger div
idends than they formerly did, when
the deposits of copper were much
richer. Within the last few years the
methods of copper smelling have been
greatly improved, reducing the cost of
amelting nearly one.half.
An item in favor Of the Vermont
mines is, that Notwithstanding the fact
that they are situated few miles from
a railroad this is more than overcome
by their nearness to the copper mar
ket This we can readily see when we
stop to consider that copper is shipped
from Wyoming, Montana and Colo.
RADIO to New York, consuming more
than week in transportation, while
we are only few hours ride from the
same market. In the saving in freight
rates alone the Vermont mines have a
big advantage over their Western COM
petitors.
Recent explorations have demon
strated the fact, beyond doubt, that
larger and richer ore bodies exist than
have ever been worked One of the
best known mining engineers in this
country has recently written regarding
the mines in Vershire: eff the Ely
mines lived at all with all the draw

process. it should pay very largely
