TO THE WHITE HOUSE
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE PRES
IDENTIAL TRIP.
For Thirty Days All Social and Off
cial Functions Will Be Omitted at
Executive Residence.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 15.-The special
train bearing President Mckinley, Mrs.
Mckinley, Abner Mckinley, members
of the cabinet, and a number of friends,
passed through Pittsburg early this
morning, en- route from Canton, O., to
Washington. Twenty minutes after the
train left Canton last night it struck
and instantly killed Louis Monet, Ia
borer, walking on the track. His head
was torn from his body.
The president was much disturbed at
the distressing accident so soon after
the sad ordeal of the day. When the
train reached Pittsburg, the curtains
were all closely drawn and everybody
was asleep. The party will arrive In
Washington about noon.
Washington Dec. 15.-President Nc
Kinley, the members of the cabinet,
and others, who went to Canton on ac-
count of the illness and death of the
presidents mother, reached Washing
ton shortly before II O'Clock. President
and Mrs. Mckinley, naturally, were
fatigued with the strain to which they
had been subjected, but stood the trip

cial and official functions at the White
House for a period of 80 days from the
date of the death of his mother. Most
of the official receptions are set down
for dates after the 1st of January, so
that the principal omission if the pres
ent order be carried out, will be the
New Years day reception, which will
be less felt than any other, from the
fact that all the elements that go to
make up this function, even the general
public, are received by the president
at one or the other of the special re-
ceptjonS

Strong at the CloSe-Armour'S De-
cember Transactions.
Chicago, Dec. 15.-There was no strong
" developed feeling either way at the
opening In wheat. Prices were substan-
TALLY the same as the close yesterday
Most Of the firm feeling was impaired
soon after the opening by caplesram
from the Liverpool Corn Trade News
stating that only five Argentine steamers
had been fixed as yet, meaning that only
that many so far had been chartered for
shipment of wheat. 1t also quoted Godd-
win, the Argentine authority, as saying
that arrivals in Europe would not be pc
fore April. Private Paris cablegTaml
ridiculed the statement that France would
only need to import 20,00O000 bushels for
eign wheat from Nov. to the enc OF the
crop year, stating their estimate OF re-
quirements for that time at 6O,GVo,Oo O.
bushels, and that bakers and mlllerS
stocks We're small and farmers deliveries
were light. These statements caused
moderate covering by the more timid
shorts, the price of May advancing IN
consequence. But the dullness of trad
ing initiated. against any sustained ad-
vance and prices slowly slid off again 10
903s. though not without several shght
rallies. Primary receipts amounted al
together to 49,, 465 bushels against 2S9,9oO
bushels the previous year. export clear
ances from Atlantic ports amounted to
3l5,000 bushels in wheat and flour. A sec
ond cablegra1n from the Liverpool Corn
Trade News reported official statistics
of wheat and flour consumption in Ger
many and Belgium for November much
smaller than in that month last year.
May touched 9O3s. the low point in that
future. Bradstraets reported the world S
visible increased by 900 bushels. The
temporary decline on the reported reduced
appetites OF the Germans and Belgians
came to IN end when the Bradsteets re-
port was published. The market de-
veloped considerable strength toward the
close, due to free ground covering by
shorts and limited speculative offerings.
May advanced to 9114 and closed firm at
912s. December transactions comprised
ali told about 100000 bushels, most of it
sold for Armour & CO. S account.
Corn was very slow and inclined to be
weak up to within 10 minutes of the close.
May closed Ss01a higher at 291s.
Oats were strong and &c higher at the
end.
Provisions were. exceedingly firm and
more active speculatively than they have
been for some time At the close May
pork was 10 cents higher; May lard. "a

CHAOS IN THE WHEAT MARKET
CASH WHEAT AT A PREMIUM
THE WORLD OVER.
President of Chicago Board of Trade
On the Situation-Fifteen Days
Left For December Deals.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-William T. Baker,
president of the board of trade, says with
reference to the unusual conditions in
wheat:
Cash wheat is at a premium over fu-
turs delivery here and in all parts of the
world. because more has been sold than
can be delivered. Wheat is scarce all
over the world. Not enough was grown
last year to supply the demand. America
has its own opportunity to make it's own
price for wheat. 1t has been considered
by many to be a blessing to use the cheap
wheat although our own farmers could
hardly make both ends meet. Now, per-
haps, in view of the prosperity which has
come to this nation from higher prices,
there will be less sympathy for those
operating to dress grain below the values
formerly adjusted by demand and supply.
In the past estimated quantities of wheat
have been sold on the market and resold
with no demand for its delivery. Now,
however the wheat is wanted so badly
by consumers that contracts calling for
delivery can stand for no wind wheat.
We shall probably see the same tight
conditions in May wheat when May comes
as we now see in December wheat
Il now think that this country already
has exported much of the wheat which it
will soon need for its consumption, and
that the full scarcity is not by any means
yet appreciated
The Tribune says today:
There are just 10 days left to make or
unmake the December wheat deal. The
chances for fireworks and old time corner
prices are scarcely so bright as they were
some time ago. Letter is learning some
thing about the possibilities of Chicago
as a receiving market and about the re-
sources of Armour.
During the last few days the trade has
been generally working around to a
theory something like this:
Armour and Letter have crossed
weapons and recognized their respective
points of advantage and strength. Letter
will handle the December deal as care
fully as possible and realize just as much
profit by sales as the market will stand.
He will then take some cash wheat on
delivery but practically leave the cash
situation to Armour. He can go over to
May with better prospects than he went
over into September or over into Decem-
Der. Armour will then be left with Chi
cago in charge of the cash situation and
with foreign demand and domestic re-
quirements as a result of millers selling
their stocks on the high Chicago premium.
This would furnish a basis for advanc-
ing prices and give Armour an opportun-
ity for merchandising wheat on a scale
which was not thought possible at the
beginning of the crop year.

Where the BODY was boiled.
Chicago, Dec. 15.-Judging from the
small crowd in attendance at the open

greatly. The court room was not more
than half filed when Attorney Harmon
resumed his opening address for the
defense.
immediately after the conclusion of

of the jury were driven to the sausage

THE WOOL TRADE.
End of the Year Brings on Usual
Dul1nesS

Dizziness.
Boston. Dec. 15.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade:
The market the past week has been
characterized by the excessive dullness
which usually marks the last month of
the year. The sales have been confined
to limited number of sellers. Conces-
sions of good wool are not in order.
Last week the cable advices stated that
1900 bales had been bought for America
at the London sales. We are now ad-
vised that woods are put down for this
country which will not come this way
and the figures of last week will accord
ingly have to be modified. There have
been fairly good sized sales of foreign
woods. So long as good Australian woods
can be bought at lower figures in Boston
than in any other part of the world the
demand here IS likely to continue good.
They will perhaps average 2 cents in the
grades below the importing point.
The sales of the week amount to $4,000
pounds domestic and 1925 pounds for
eign, making total of 2.5145OO pounds.
