HIS A. NJ. SESSION.
Regardless of the rumor that the Continent had
sold two cargoes of wheat (Which they could ell
afford to do as blinu), wheat at the closing ses-
sion was fairly strong. Shorts were disposed TO
look on, fearing to venture far from shore De.
cember wheat closed at 81 81, with ST. 62A bi |

certain that much of the buying to-day was for
To-day's wheat market radical change as
regards sentiment, compared with the feeling yes
terday. Liverpool cables reported wheat Sd lower
Paris wheat was So c.ntimes lower. second
cables were somewhat improved. he feeling on
the early curb was strong. The Clique unloaded
yesterday, ano IL is sald that armour anu The
local bull clique picked their holdings up. sep
tember shorts are greatly alarmed. They dare
not attem pt to cover, the market Is TOO sensl-
tive. If the bears should become frightened 20
cent advance would not be unexpected The de-
cline In wheat of the past few days has been a
shake-out; also transfer of large interests from
one crowd to another. Liquidation is the secret
OF IL all.
Receipts and shipments are about equal Ex-
ports were large. New York reported 700, 900
bushels OF wheat taken out al Atlantic ports
to-day for the continent. Re- orts from Russia
ara to the effect that supplies are smaller than
gener rally thought to be. England is holding Off
she has done in the past. The advance on this
side is consideie ed too rapid to hold by he Eng
lish trade. Be tn at as it may, they are making
anxious i'quries regarding conditions this
eide. should wet weather overtake the English
harvest wheat prices would soar as they never
have before Conditions warrant liberal prices
this year Those who wait for reac.i ions to sup
ply mill wants will find themselves badly dsap-
pointed. Buying wheat on Rood breaks will be less
hazardous than selling on buges

the inquest was called, turned her al.

this evening. 49,
Within half dozen days the will OF
Mr.. ketcham will be filed for proba-
ton, and it Is intimated that the com
test which this step will undoubtedly
produce may lead to one of the hardest
legal battles ever waged in the courts.
though the stakes are not SO hign as
they have been in more notable cases.
The evidence adduced at the coroner 8
inquest on the remains of John b,
ketcham will figure to a great extent
In determining the final disposition of
the property of the deceased. George
hetcham evidenced great Discrimination
In his evidence to admit that the den.l
man had lawful wife living at the
time OF death. He limited that his
brother had shown some weakness of
mind, and upon this latter point it Is
probable that the greatest fight will he
waged upon the will when the latter
document is produced, Efforts will be
made to show, it Is stated, that Ketcham
was unduly influenced at the time OF
drawing the will two weeks ago, by
the, terms of which the whole property
was given to Mrs. Ketcham or Wallace
