CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-There were no pre-
monitory symptoms today Of the rumpus in
December wheat that shook the pit to its
center for fifteen minutes about an hour
from the close of the session. That dellV-
cry was worth from $1.0412 to $1.Oo most
of the morning. and all at once it began to
show decided weakness. Before the crowd
could realize what was happening it was be-
ing offered at size, and closed at 9512c, or
st a decline Of sc a blu since Saturday. May
was comparatively steady. Its loss FOR the
day was hc. Both Armour and the Letter
crowd we're said to have sold heavily, and
this selling was instrumental in causing the
slump The large amount Of contract wheat
which arrived in Chicago made the decline
easy. Corn, oats and provisions showed at
the close very little change in prices.
Corn. though quiet, was firm. Small coun-
try offerings and bad weather West were
helpful factors. Oats were slow, within an
extremely narrow range. Some strength was
developed in provisions during the morning
on the small run of hogs and prices opened
slightly higher and improved to a limited eX-
tent. The rise in prices was taken advantage
of bv packers to sell, but the offerings were
fairly we'll taken care of until the smash
came in December wheat This made buyers
timid and, in the absence of support, the
market lost its advantage At the close May
pork was 212c lower at $3.50; May lard was
unchanged at 81. 521a and May ribs unchanged
at s4.35. Estimated receipts Tuesday: Wheat,
$40 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, 800 cars; hogs
10000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows

ROCKEFELLER INFLICTED.
A Bad Investment of Some Three
Million Dollars.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 13.-Five years ago
John D. Rockefeller invested large sums In the
Monte Cristo gold mines, in Snohomish coun-
ty. Then he built the Everett & Monte Cristo
railroad to connect them with the Everett
smelter, which his money paid for. At
Monte Cristo a concentrator costing $3.50, 0O0
was erected and the development of the
mines began on an extensive scale. Charles
L. Colby and Colgate Hoyt then Rockefeler's
financial agents, got him to back them IN
plating the town site Of Everett, which soon
passed into his control. Altogether, between
So, 900, goo and $4,000, O00 was invested in mines
railroad, town site and equipment
From New York 1t IS announced on the
authority of his financial agent, F. T. Gates.
that the recently washed-out Everett Monte
Cristo railroad will not be rebuilt. Twenty
FIVE miles, between Granite Falls and Everett,
will be operated as logging road, but thirty
miles will be abandoned. J. B. Croker,
Western representative OF Mr.. Rockefeller,
says that the road and the mines have proved
unremunerative. OF Rockefeller's three
Mines the Monte Cristo and Rainy have
proved entirely worthless and the Pride Of
the Mountains mine paid very little above
operating expenses. These and other mines
in the district cannot now be worked for lack
Of railroad communication. Supplies in the
mountains are short and the miners have
been sent out One locomotive, several pas
senger and freight cars and the ten-story
concentrator will be valueless. as they can
not be taken out. Rockefeller's loss is esti
mated at s, 000, 900.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Evening Posts Lon
don financial cablegram: The tone of the
stock markets here was good today, but bust
ness was checked by the commencement
Of the settlement. Money was dearer the
rate being per cent. Contangoes on Ameri-
cans averaged per cent. Americans showed
an excellent tone, although business was con-
fined to professional operators. Prices closed
at the best. the feature being a sharp jump
in Union Pacific on rumors that the Kan
sas Pacific matter had been settled 1 have
today interviewed many leading houses con-
corning the position and prospects Of Ameri-
cans, and am impressed by the unanimity
Of the favorable views held concerning their
prospects in the next six months or so. At
the same time 1t should be said that such
views are mainly based on news from New
York, such as the condition Of trade and the
aspect Of Wall street. for on this side the
public still abstains from dealing freely
Grand Trunks are still booming. Mines are
distinctively better, including Anacondas,
which would be bought in good quarters
but probably speculatively. Argentines were
strong l am told that the Barring estate COM
pany, formed three years ago to take from the
Bank OF England certain assets held on
behalf Of the old firm Of Barring Bros, Is
about to pay off all its debentures. This
means the end Of all of the Barring estate
liquidation on Argentines, the remaining Sc
curities reverting to the firm Of Barring Bros.
The Union Pacific preference shares were
largely dealt in today for special settle
ment The money rate here was strong at
per cent, the bank lending extensively.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 13.-Butter rules firm
and is without price change from Saturday
on all grades. The call for creamery ex-
tras is large, with receipts running light.
Medium grade creameries are in more liberal
supply, with the movement out fair. Dairy
extras are scarce and sentiment on this grade
strong. Firsts and seconds in dairies are
in heavy supply and rule trife easy. Fresh,
sweet packing stock is in excellent demand.
Ladies' are selling moderately well. Strictly
fresh eggs are 1ac lower. There was no bust
ness done on change, as buyers and sellers
were apart as to prices. A feature of the
market, which is having weakening effect on
sentiment, is the fact that receipts are In
creasing while the demand shows but slight
improvement. Dressed poultry market is firm
on chickens and turkeys and easy on ducks
and geese. A good many of the latter were
carried over from last week.

Womnn's wheel Trip from Chicago

to san Frnncisco.
To measure the loug, long way from Chi
cago TO San Francisco with the circumfer'
ence Of a twenty-eight inch wheel, to know
every inch OF the path over mountain and
desert to ford rushing streams with a
shoulderoi wheel, to wear into threads high
leather boots. to do all these. alone through
daylight and through darkness, being a
woman. and by heredity timid, needs as
fine a quality of nerve and pluck and cour-
age aa it takes TO climb the snowy passes
OF Alaskan mountains or to brave an
Arctic winter.
on one OF the Oakland ferryboats a
week ago, relates the San Francisco EN,
aminCr some Observant passengers noticed
a slender. resolute little piece of femininty,
with dusty wheel and frayed bundle
in luggage carrier The wheelwoman
wore a matt brown jacket and snort Skirt
a fresh shirt waist, white chamois gloves,
very spick and epan, and tan boots worn
full OF holes, but none of them guessed
that she had wheeled 1t all alone all the way
from Chicago 1000 weary miles and more.
The wheelwoman was Mrs, Margaret Val
entine LIE Long. She is Californian by
adoption for she has lived in San Francisco
full half her life She decided 10 ride home
from Chicago on her wheel not TO save
expenses, for 1t costs twice as much as by
rail. but for the sake Of the adventure and
the experience.

pedal, when she had piled herself up al
the foot OF hill in the dark. She did her
own washing, had the good sense not to
try for a record. and rested whenever she
was tired. Eighty-siN miles in one day
was her best performance.
ON her way she lost eight pounds, made
a detour from Ogden to Salt Lake, rode the
railroad track for numberless rough and
bumpety miles and walked on an average
ten miles a day. She Is muscular as few
women are. and is brown as the pro-
verbal berry. for she even tanned her
hands through her thick chamois gloves,
But she Is not in the least bit footsore or
weary, ana she would do it again in a
