nese, a total of 305 in all. A determined
effort has been made to suppress the
evil. but, as is said by Chief Glass in his
annual report to the city council, the
nominal cash fines imposed by the courts
have been looked upon merely as sort
of license and the evil has grown apace.
The recent move toward prosecuting
property owners who lease their places
to Chinese for the purpose of occupancy
as lottery dens has been productive of
much good, and today there are said
to be fewer houses of this character in
the business section Of the city than al
any time in the past three years.

CHICAGO MARKET.
The Days Transactions on the Board of
Trade.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Wheat had a some
what sensational break on the first hours
trading today. Liverpool again repeated
its see-saw tactics and in the face of the
substantial advance here Saturday sent
out opening quotations from q to Id lower.
weak opening here was inevitable and
when Minneapolis reported the receipt of
$40 cars and Duluth IS cars, a total of 1O49
against 400 last week. the price got for a
moment to so cents or 2isMto "a cents below
the closing figures of Saturday. May open
ed irregularly at from 81 down to S0Ss cents
with no very general demand at even the
lowest of the figures given. There soon ap-
peared buyers enough to take the not very
heavy offerings at SOS cents and SOa4 cents
was paid for some but the heavy Minneap-
oils receipts stopped all such buying and
it was not until after so cents had been re-
corded that the decline was stopped for the
time being. The nexpectedly large de-
crease IN the visible supply was quite
help to the market. Opinion had varied on
the latter subject between a decrease Of
800 900 bushels and 600 bushels until
Buffalo was found to have increased only
$4,000 bushels. whereas an increase of
about 1.o00.O00 had been looked for The
actua. decrease was announced in the end
as 2.G02,0O0 bushels compared with a de-
crease the year before of only 1l1,OoO BUSH
els. This caused an Improvement in the
price of May to 81 cents. Then both liqui-
dation and short selling started again en-
couraged by the weak closing tone at Liv-
5.
on the report that considerable quantity
of new business had been done for imme-
date shipment. the price had another sud
den bulge to 81 cents. The market turned
heavy again toward the end of the final
trading, May being at s09s. Corn was slow
and weak but the decline slight com.
pared with the slump in wheat which
market corn was inclined to follow. Oats
were quiet with prices 1sc lower at the
close than they were at the finish on Sat-
urday. No features were developed. Pro-
visions opened easy al slight decline
affected by the drop in wheat and large re-
ceipts of hogs.
