In describing the local conditions OF
the Chicago wheat market for Decem.
Der delivery it is simply matter OF
opinion whether to assert the market
is manipulated or not. The latter
supposition is the more reasonable.
Stocks of contract wheat have been ex-
hausted by the unprecedented expert
and interior demand. High values OBJ
tanning have induced speculative short
sales, with the resulting condition OF
constantly oversold and congested mar
ket. Granting all Of which to be true.
the general conditions which ordinarily
control values are SO extremely favor
able to high prices that it is q matter
of great doubt as to whether specula-
ton has played any important part IN
advancing and maintaining values.
Export clearances of wheat and dour
for the week have been large. The ex.
port demand continues urgent and
promises to increase rather than d.
minish. Stocks at market centers
show but a small increase for the season
compared with previous years, al
though the forward movement OF the
crop has been unusually large. Receipts
at primary points are beginning to fall
off, and it is becoming more and more
apparent that the spring crop of the
Northwest has been Over-estimated.
The continued drought assures only a
moderate acreage seeded to winter
wheat, and that under favorable condi-
tions. Crop advices from Argentine
continue conflicting and contradictory.
Advices from Australia assert that
their crop will be below an average and
give no surplus for export. France
continues to buy wheat freely. From
all reports, public and private, it is 9
certainty that European stocks are un-
usually small and European require
ments abnormally large. The prospect
for the immediate future seems to fully
warrant present values for wheat, and
should any disaster overtake the Argen-
tine crop it is probable that they will
be fully maintained if not materially
advanced during the balance of our crop
year.
The situation regarding corn values
shows decided improvement during
the week, although still possessing ele-
ments of radical weakness. Stocks, al
ready larger than ever before recorded,
show no immediate signs of decreasing.
On the other hand, the cash demand,
both for home consumption and ex-
port, shows a gratifying increase. VAL
ues are now Is cents per bushel below
an average for the last ten years, and
the new crop is certainly below an av-
erage in yield. There is little to war
rant decline in supplies.

Civil war, to-day issued a remarkable
address.
1t WAS addressed to the ex-Confed.
crates Of Missouri, and said in part:
The honor and glory Of this great
struggle was with the South, and
southern soldiers ought in justice to
Themselves and their dead comrades to
preserve the memory OF it.
While the North and northern sol
diers are inveighing against all mani
festations Of sectional feeling, they are
erecting monuments to their successful
leaders and telling the story very much
to their credit and to our detriment
THE North had more than four sol
diers to one In the South. Its armies
were reinforced and assisted by GOO
ships Of war, manned by $4,000 sailors.
1t had unlimited credit, which meant
an unlimited supply of money. 1t had
factories to manufacture everything
needed to arm and equip-to supply
and maintain its armies and fleets. II
had railroads running in every direc-
tion for the transportation of its troops.
1t had intercourse with the whole
world and could draw recruits for its
army and navy from the whole world.
The South had none of these advant-
ages, or had them only to limited ex-
tent But, Notwithstanding all its ad-
vantages, it took the North four years
to crush the South. and then it did it
by a grinding process and without hav
ing gained a single decisive victory"

driven out by the deadly gases from

the men were driven out before, the
connections between the burning mine
and the Della s., through which the

As soon as these connections were
bulkheaded but little trouble was ex-
perienced in recIaimIng the properties,
and many believed that the gas Ques-
ti0n was not as serious as at frst an
ticipated. Others, however, advanced
the theory that the ease with which
the adjoining properties were re-
claimed was caused by the draught be-
ing In a favorable direction, and that
as soon as it changed the men would
be driven out and the trouble would
become as serious as ever.
This latter theory has proven the

All the Della s. and johnson men were
compelled to drop their tools and flee
for their lives about O'Clock this af-
terno0n. The gas is rapidly increasing
In the Cowenhoven tunnel. and 1t is
expected that the men will have to
come out before morning.
The Bushwhacker and Park Regent
men were working at 5 O'Clock, but as
these properties are situated over a
mile from the seat of the trouble they
may not be affected before some time
tomorrow morning 1t is believed,
however, by those working in the
Smuggler mountain properties that all
workings connected with and lying
above the Cowenhoven tunnel will
have to shut down until the draught
changes or the Smuggler fire is settled
for good and all. This means the
throwing out Of some 900 miners for
an indefinite period.
In the SmuggIer conditions continue
to improve. The fire seems to be grad
ually decreasing and the amount of
gas being generated was up to this af-
ternOOn thought to he too small in
amount to cause trouble. Work has
been resumed In the lead stope and ore
is being broken for the concentrator.
This mill will resume Monday morn
ing, and Manager Hallett stated this
morning that he expected to clear all
the workings in the mine the first of
the week. The new fire drift will be
completed by morning, and the work
Of cutting through into the stope will
be completed by IL o'clock tomorrow

soon extinguish the fire when he gets

BECAUSE He IS A SILVER MAN
Robert Llndbl0m IL Refused Admission I

Robert Llndhl0m IL Refused Admission to
the New York Stock Exchange.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 27.-Because he is
silver man, Robert LindblOm has
been turned down by the New York
Stock Exchange. He applied to the
governing committee of that exchange
n fortnight ago, and that body has
ignored him, not even calling him to
New York for the usual examination.
Lindblom's silver heresies counted
against him. He has more money than
many of those who hold seats on the
New York exchange. There is nothing
against his credit. He is supposed to
be worth $25O.OOO, and has been a
prominent figure in grain speculation
circles for many years. Lindbl0m is
not going to permit the matter to pass
unnoticed. 1.-The New York Stock Ex-
change" he said last night, has not
heard the last OF my application. 1t
will have to go on record. If 1t has any
objection to me other than the fact
that am a silver man. 1t will have to
declare that objection, and II 1t re-
fuses to admit me because l am sill
yer man the world will know it."
Those who were discussing the mat
ter on the Board Of Trade yesterday
took the ground that 1t was a little
peculiar for any great exchange to
take into account n mans political
theories in deciding as to whether or
not he would be eligible to member
ship.

all winter, and its purpose is to verify
former surveys and estimates which
have been very much at variance. The
Ludlow commission, which was sent
down two years ago. upset all the cal
culations previously made and fur
nished the opponents Of the canal with
plenty of arguments to resist the legis-
lation asked from Congress. 1t even
threw doubt upon the practicability Of
the scheme and made the most Of ev-
cry obstacle that existed to the con-
struction of the canal. The present
commission is composed of men with
out prejudice, whose character and rep
utation will give their judgment great
weight. and is expected to confirm or
reject the conclusions of the Ludlow
party and furnish Congress an accurate
estimate of the cost OF the work and
the comparative advantages Of the sew
eral routes that have been proposed.

Croker Says the Former Leads the EN-

New York, Nov. 26.-Nothing has so
shaken up politicians here for a long
time as a declaration Of Croker last
night regarding Senator Murphy, n
state leader Of the Democratic party.
Murphy is a leader OF the Empire
state Democracy, and is worthy to be,"
said Croker. II have no quarrel with
HILL" he added. Il would do him a
good turn tomorrow If / could"
Croker is admittedly the most power
full local leader in the state and his re-
pudiation of Hill has thrown the ex-
senator's friends into a panic. Their
carefully laid plans for Hills return to
public life are knocked endwise. They
cannot say to-day whether Hill will re-
main in retirement or come out and
fight Murphy and Croker.
Murphy supported Bryan, while Hill
did not. Murphy has lately been active
while Hill has been quiet, and Murphy
has prestige, being the senior United
States senator from New York until
1899.
The first result of the Croker-Mur-
ply political alliance is a statement
made to-day that former Mayor II. ].
Grant will be the next Democratic
candidate for governor Of the state Of
