While the blcyclists were generously
treated by the assembled thousands last
night, the spectators found plenty OF time
to examine the different exhibits One of
the greatest attractions appeared to be the
display of the Union Iron Works. Its
chief charm probably is found in the fact
that The entire esta blishment, from repajr-
shop to main building. Is reproduced in
miniature, the whole beautifully lighted
by tiny electric lights. The bay shore line
is cleyerly represented, as are also the
cliffs in the background. On each side of
the display miniature war vessels are TO
be seen, notably the San Francisco, Mon
terey and Oregon. There is no detail lack
ing IN the entire exhibit.

 Chicago, Dec. 30.--lThat the bulls allowed their enthusiasm to get the better of their Judgment yesterday was demonstrated by the course of the wheat market today. Whilst the advance of yesterday was due in a great measure to the nervousness Of shorts, there was nevertheless quftes heaVy buying for long account and the selling Of that wheak today carried prices 11sc lower. A recoyersDbf kc near the close, however,, made the net loss but cent. It was weak market from the beginning to the end of. the session, few reactions taking place and they not being material or important quiet trade is expected tomorrow, puts ana calls selling close to the final price thls ar ternoon. The leading consideration today was the relative weakness in Liverpool, where a very moderate improvement early early S4lsc to S3a4c, declined to S2lac, closing at S27sQS3c-1c under yesterday.

New York. Dec. So.-The only redeeming feature of speculation at the stock ex- change today was spurt in American To- bacco and, Sugar in the late trading. The movement in these shares saved today from being one of the dullest on record. The early cables from London occasioned no lit- tie disappoin t1nent, inasmuch as quota tions from London came lower where the reverse had been looked for on account of the strong closing here yesterday. The traders promptly set to work to adjust quo tations to the London parity, and according grangers leading. The dealings were in small amounts and the decline, brought business d Prfaettcahy thsy to stands fro As a. m. to the close of business were merely nominal with covering a range of only s ola per cent, outside of very few stocks.

Suns Cotton.


 New York Dee. 30.-Spot cotton here was unchanged; sales 200 bales for eXk' port.
 The speculation today was quiet and in the main of a local character. Liver pool opened higher but reacted and this fact had a depressing influence on prices here. Local operators took profits on yesterdays advance, but the feature was the absence of supporting orders. Then, too. the port movements this week will include 33,000 bales received at the out ports for shipment and this also induced some selling. Before the close a slight rally took place on covering of shorts together with some new buying. The receipts at the ports and some of the ln- terior towns were comparatively light. New Orleans was higher and the south ern spot markets in some inS tances were firmer, but owing to the absence of outv side buying prices closed at a net decline. The failure ofsA southern bank and the fear of furtheTfinancfal disturbapces de- terS speculation even at present extreme lV low prices IA
