There was further fail in consols today

those on Americans being about AZ. The
tone of the market was fiat, led by fall

operations on the feeble market. Ameri-

Indian exchange is still rising. The Paris
bourse was steady to firm. The Berlin

The Days Transactions on the Board OF
Trade

CHICAGO, Dec. 9-Wheat opened ex-
ceedingly weak today. The first transac-
tons in May were at declines of from Il to
* of a cent, prices being from SOS to 1878
cents, with very few buyers at over the
lower figure. From that point the market
tended steadily downward, the opening
quotations being the highest pdice reached
during the session. Liverpool cables were
disappointing, as that market showed u
loss of Sd, Notwithstanding the improve
ment that was made here yesterday. But
the most depressing feature of the market
was the general dullness in spectators.
Holders paid no attentions to the bull news,
but could see only the apathy of oprators,
and looked forward with apprehension to
the dull days that are expected to follow
as the result of the holidays. AS a result
there was Il general disposition to get rid
of the long stuff and to sell short. At
lantic port cearances once more gave evil
dences of heaviness of the European de-
manG. They amounted in wheat and flour
together including 1928 barrels of flour
from Newport News to the equivalent of
o72, 900 bushels. Northwesterns were rather
neutral. Minneapolis and Duluth received
629 cars, against SIG last week. and 73e on
the corresponding day of the year before.
The market showed considerable nervous
ness and fluctuations between 1913 and 1884
cents were frequent. The feeling was no.
ticeable to the end. In the last fifteen min
utes of the session the bulls made a drive
to test their strength. and it for the fifth
time during the session looked as if it were
about to go laundering below 70 cents. but
l91s cents was again bottom price, the clos
ing being at I9lsM7914. Corn could not well
be duller nor less enticing TO an expectant
speculator than it was today. Oats enjoyed
quite a lively session. The weak opening
of the wheat market started the ball roll
ing and an excellent country demand kept
things going. The provision pit was al
most deserted. Prices We're slightly in
clined to go lower, but not to such am eX-
tent as to make any considerable change

Would Issue Certificates Against the Sill.
Yer In the Mountains.
When the sockless statesman Of Kan
sas first visited New York city, he went
with a friend to the United States SUBJ
treasury in Wall street. They were
shown through the vaults in which part
Of the governments money is stored
and finally reached room in which
thousands Of big bags of silver dollars
were piled ceiling high. Looking at the
great heap Of useless metal, the Medicine
Lodge financier turned to the United
States subtreasurer and asked: "Wby
could not silver certificates be issued
just as well ON the silver in the hills? 1t
would save the country all the expense
of mining the ore, smelling and refining
1t and coming it into dollars. / think it
is great waste Of labor to dig all that
silver out of one hole and cut it up into
little pieces just to bring it here and
dump it down into another hole" =
Ridiculous as is the idea Of paper cur.
rency based ON silver in the rocks, it is
more sensible than the free coinage at
16 to plan. The silverites propose to
compel the government to coin into legal
tender dollars all the silver which may
be brought to the minis. As the country
has already far more silver dollars than
can be used in business, it would be nee.
essary to issue certificates which would
pass as currency. So that the govern
ment would be practically buying all
the silver offered it at price nearly
double it's market value.
The silver mine owners and their
agents ridiculed Congressman Simpson g
cheap money scheme. But wild as his
plan was 1t did not involve the repudia-
ton Of just debts or the debasement of
the standard Of value, as did theirs.
Silverites who laugh at the notion of
using the Rocky mountains as a basis
for currency are really condemning
their own theory. Sensible people who
believe in honest money want neither
certificates based On silver ore nor on pig
silver. Either would mean great an
uual loss through the wasteful employ
ment of labor which ought to be en-
gagged in producing useful articles.
