CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Wheat sold at 81 to-
day for the December option and closed at
99Iac, an advance of 33sc. May showed a
considerable amount of sympathy with the
advance in December and closed 1Aq1asc
higher. Efforts of shorts, both here and from
st. Louis, caused the advance in December,
and they were not supplied until 81 had been
bid Other markets were uninterestng. Corn
and oats advanced 1sGAc higher and pro-
visions closed 212c higher.
Corn was not very active and responded
very lazily to the encouragement it got from
wheat. The tendency was downward, until
wheat became very bullish, and it had evil
IDENTIFY the latter to thank fer the 1sc ad-
vance it made in the end. There was mod
crate buying of December by brokers and
elevator people. Receipts were 462 cars. May
ranged from 2994 G291ac and closed 1sGAc
higher at 295sd29%c. December oats were
barely steady, but a distinctly firm feeling
was noticeable in May. The long crowd was
willing to exchange the former for the lat
ter at 15s91%c difference. Commission houses
were also good buyers of May and this, with
sympathy with wheat, forced prices up
little The shipping demand was helped by
the cut rail rates. Receipts were 447 cars;
May ranged from 223sc to 229221sc, and closed
A@Ac higher at 22Aq223Sc
Only fair business was done in provisions.
The undertone was firm, chiefly in sympathy
with grain n.1rkets, but price ranges were
narrow. OUTSIDE orders were moderate. A
heavy reduction in provision stocks has taken
place since Nov. /. Cash demand was moder-
ately active. At the close, January pork
was 21hc higher at $S.15, January ribs 212c
higher at $4.2215G4.25 and January ribs un-
changed at $4.15. Estimated receipts Satur-
day: Wheat, 24O cars; corn, 76O cars; oats,
200 cars hogs, $4,000 head.

News Bearing on the General Situa-
ton, as a Rule, Continued Fa-
vOrabIe in Character

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The latter part of
the day showed an improvement in business
on the stock exchange, both in the volume
Of transactions and in an increase of values
over the level recently prevailing. The stand
ard railroad stocks, however, continued to be
a good deal neglected and the movement Of
prices in them was very narrow. The whole
list was depressed during the early part of
the day under the influence of lower prices
for Americans in London and quite active
selling here for London account. This was
especially marked in st. Paul. and this stock
failed to recover at any time to Wednesdays
close. Its weakness was due to the October
statement Of earnings, which showed an in
crease in the net of less than $4,000. So
far this statement bears on the general
situation, it is to be taken into account
that st. Paul's October earnings last year
were the largest for the year. The improve
ment in the market left the railroad list with
net gains, but they were of the narrowest in
many cases.
The chief interest in the market centered
in the specialties, and all these developed
strength before trading had been long in
progress. Manhattan was most conspicuous
in the dealings and advanced quite steadily
and strongly throughout the day, closing at
a net gain of 22. There was no news to ac-
count for the strength of this stock. Sugar
also showed a marked recovery from its re-
cent depression and closed 29s higher than
on Wednesday. Peoples Gas gained IA, New
Jersey Central rs, Delaware & Hudson over
a point, and SO on Consolidated Gas jumped
up and down over a range of points, and
closed at a net gain of IL.
The days trading reflected nothing in the
general situation, the news of which con-
tinued to show Improvement. The actual
rate for long sterling exchange advanced u
additional today Some Of the demand for
long sterling is for use in the operation
which involves the lending of funds abroad;
There also said to be some buying OF
long sterling for speculation in the belief
that rates of exchange will advance by the
time it natures, the balance of trade may
have shifted by that time
The bond market was fairly active and

Chesterfield Almost Wiped OFF the
Map by an Explosion.
ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 26.-Chester-
field, Ind, was almost wiped off the
map at an early hour this morning by
the explosion of eighty quarts of nitro
glycerine which had been brought
overland from Montpelier and placed in
an open field, half mile from town.
Marion Mansey and Sam Mcguire were
working at a gas well near by when
the explosion occurred. Mansey was
thrown fifty feet, Nut not fatally in
jured. Mcguire was also thrown a
hundred feet in the air and badly
lacerated but will recover James
Colds house, 300 rods distant, was torn
to pieces, The explosion tore hole in
the ground to the water line. A three
ton engine was torn to fragments and
every living animal was killed instant
ly. The little town Of Chesterfield is a
mass of ruins, every house was moved
from it's foundations, windows shat
tered, doors smashed in, every light
put out and the plastering shaken from
the walls. Several people were shaken
out of bed. AT Dalesville, two miles
away, and at Yorktown, five miles dis
tant, the damage was almost as great.
Many people were. injured and it is a
miracle that none were killed outright.
The jar of the explosion was felt for
fifteen miles in all directions. The gas
in the we'll was blown out and a work
man named Cooper lit it and caused
another explosion in which he was
fatally burned. The damage cannot be
estimated.

Case for the Prosecution Against
Thorn Abruptly Closed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Lawyers Howe
and Moss, who have diligently defend
ed Martin Thorn, met today with a
serious and unlooked-for obstacle when
this afternoon District Attorney
Youngs informed the court that the
people rested their case. 1t was gen
orally expected that Mrs. Mack would
be put on the stand to reiterate her
confession, and the lawyers who had
been assigned to look after Thorn's in
terests thought that she would repeat
her statement Of two weeks ago.
Later in the afternoon District At
torney Youngs said that he was not
prepared to say whether Mrs. Mack,
who had made such a famous scene in
the first trial by her confession, would
be produced Or not The case, as far
as the district attorneys opinion went,
was fully proved without the woman's
testimony. Later on, however, one of
Mr. Youngs' advisers said that in case
the defense put Martin Thorn on the
stand the prosecution would certainly
produce Mrs. Mack in rebuttal.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 26.-Butter remains

sentiment is steady. The call for frsts and
seconds is fair. Dairy extras are scarce
and in good demand. Medium grades are in
occasional demand. Ladies are in good re-
quest. Packing stock suitable for ladling is
firm and wanted. Strictly fresh eggs are
trifle easier. Prices unchanged from Wednes-
day, but there is less snap to the market,
with some increase noticeable in current re-
ceipts. Storage stock is moving slowly at
120121ac. Cheese has an easier tone with
some falling off in the demand for all grades.
Dressed turkeys are in rather heavy supply,
with prices full cent lower than ON Wednes-
day. Chickens, ducks and geese are in moder-
ate demand. Live poultry is cleaning up
moderately we'll on all varieties. Veal is
weak at quotations. Mutton and lamb are in
light supply. Dressed hogs are coming In

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 26.-The local wheat
market opened in a hesitating mood this
morning and for nearly an hour the mar
ket was decidedly dull, but at the same time
strong, with no signs of giving way. Its
strength, however, appeared to be of the
sort to be disinclned to rise or fall further
The trade was largely local, and but little
changed hands. About 1890 a. m. Chicago
began to climb, slowly increased it's speed
but our boys refused to follow. Chicago did
not stop till 81 for December was paid
against 861sc Wednesday night. Chicago was
the storm center. 1t evident that the
shorts were being squeezed hard, but fortu-
nately for the local trade they have been
conservative right along as a whole and were
able to stand almost unmoved during the
furry. Our market advanced from 9O24c to
94as@91hc, while Chicago jumped &c. and
while Chicago receded 11ac from the top, we
declined &c, and left the market healthy and
strong for the remainder of the morning
session. All other markets in the country
were much the same as our own, simply on
lockers of the fight in Chicago. The news of
the day was rather meager but full of prom

The cash wheat market was active with a
good demand for all grades. No. 1 northern

day. Offerings were large, but well placed
before noon. Receipts here were LA cars;
shipments. 11S cars.

noon hour and at times active. The close
was strong with the tendency upwards on
legitimate conditions. November wheat closed
at 93c; December at 91%c, and May at 9O5s
99O%c.
