To Corner Nav Wheat

Chicago. December 23.-The possibility
that Letter and Armour will pool their
interests to corner May wheat is stirring
traders on change. The Post says:
George French, operating for the Letter
crowd. has piled up a line of at least
1000, 900 bushels of May wheat. according
to reports from the floors. Armour's rad
ical change of front in bulling May wheat
is coMmo knowledge. 1t is equally well
known that Armour has a pyramid of
May wheat bought, which is opposed
to come close to the Letter holding. AS if
to emphasize the bull talk, both Armour's
and Letters men bought wheat today.
ArmOur's movements are closely yelled.
but Letters engineers make no secret Of
their dealings in May wheat. Already
that option is regarded as being as dan
gerous for the public to handle as a stove
lid at white heat"

TO EASE THE MONEY MARKET
Secretary Cages Efforts to Prevent Finan-
cial Disturbances from Heavy Payment
to the Government by the Union Pacific
Railroad

Washington, December 23.-Assistant
heavy payments 10y the government on
January LIST, said:
Secretary Gage intends that there
shall be as little disturbance as possible
in the money market as a result Of the
payment of the principal and Interest
of the Union Pacific railroad bonds
Which mature January 1st. The
moun Of the principal of these bonds
is $29, 902, 900 and the interest due there
on S897,00O Up to last night $40, 1876, 120
of these bonds had been presented for
payment and the treasury drafts to the
amount Of IS, $50, 173 had been issued
and sent out from the treasury. This
represents the actual cash payments
made up to date. There were to last
night 81, 143, 800 proceeds of redeemed
bonds held in the treasury to secure cir
culation of national banks. Checks
representing the actual cash payments
already made and to be made between
now nd the 9th will be available OF
that date in the banks. 1t is probable
that the mount of cash payments to
that date will reach SIS, 000. 600. On the
Oa4llC Noy AN " 49,
Union Pacific railroad will pay into the
treasury the sum of 49, 3S, 401 mo in
order to guard further against any dis
turbance of the market Secretary Gage
has arranged that 81, 10000 900 of this
amount shall be deposited in the Ma
tional City bank, of New York, upon
bonds being turned yer to the govern
ment for security. The balance, $4,-
53S, 4O1, will represent the actual
amount withdrawn from the money
market and paid into the sub treasury
at New York.
1.-The whole amount Of bonds falling
due on January LIST, will Of course, not
be presented by hat time. There is
usually a certain percentage which is
slow in coming in, depending mostly
upon the condition Of the mOneymOrket.
If this is easy, holders of bonds
prefer to let the money for safety, re-
main with the government and if the
price of bonds rs high, there is also a
tendency to present them slowly for
redemption. Such is the case at this
time. There has been a congestion of
currency at the money centres and eX-
cept within the last week or ter days
the money market has been exceedingly
easy. Bonds to the mOunI Of $780,
900 are now held as security for special
deposits in national banks on account
of the purchase Of the Union Pacific
railroad, and to this extent there will be
no actual money transaction. Il will be
seen, therefore, that the measures taken
by the secretary will, so far as the re-
demption of the bonds is concerned,
and the payment to the government of
the next instalment of the purchase
price of the Union Pacific railroad COM
pay, prevent any disturbance of the
money market on these accounts.
1.-The last payment to be made to the
government on the Pacific railroad ac-
count will he Jnuary 6, 1898 and will
amount to S., 53S, 4O1."

Denial of Atrocities in Guatemala

Washington, December 23.-The
statements recently published about
the shooting of political prisoners in
Guatemala are without foundation, ac-
cording to reports received by the
Gautemalan minister at Washington.
They are, he said today, a repetition Of
the same stories manufactured by the
agents OF the rebels defeated last Oc-
tober. Instead of committing atroci-
ties, the government, he said, has
shown a great ~leniency n considera-
ton for the rebels. Private dispatches
say that an amnesty will soon be ac-
corded, in view of the actual peaceful
condition of the country.
