PRODUCE.

Chicago, December 6.-All the grain
and provision markets were quiet and
comparatively narrow to-day. May
wheat opened lower and advanced, but
broke badly on very liberal seeding es-
Inmates and closed sc lower. Most of
the statistical news favored lower
prices. Corn and oats were unchanged
at the close, while provisions showed
small advances.
At the opening and for a short time
after wheat was in weak condition,
opening at S9A @S9ssc as compared
with Saturdays closing price of ea1ac,
it sold off slowly under fairly liberal
offerings to SS7sc. Early news almost
altogether favored sellers. Liverpool,
which opened Ad lower, showed NO
1ad decline at 1:30 p. m. World
shipments were very large, amounting
to $500 900 bushels, fully 750,GCO more
than expected, though all the increase
was from America. In the last %
weeks America has furnished three
fifths of all the wheat shipped by ex-
porting countries. The trade was also
figuring on a visible increase of 500. 600
against a decrease of 2,6GO, 900 last
year. The opening weakness was adj
ded to by the IL Northwest re-

Il Il GERMANS
Rushing to China the Largest Fort
Of Soldiers ever Sent Out Of
Europe.

Berlin, December 6.-When the Ger
man reinforcements, consisting Of four
companies of marines, numbering
twenty-three officers and LOO men,
and a company of naval artillery num-
herring 200 men, arrive at Klao-Chau
Bay, for which port, as already cabled,
they will soon set out, they will bring
the total German force there up to
4,566 men, the largest body Germany
has ever sent beyond European waters.
1t is understood that the reserves had
to be drawn upon.
The admiralty denies that other Eu-
ropean sQuadrons have entered the
harbor at Kiao-Chau to watch Ger
many's proceedings, and it is believed
that Admiral Won Diedrich would pro-
test vigorously against such an at
tempt.
The Kolnische Zeitung regards the
expedition as having a two-fold aim,
first, to obtain to missionary repara-
ton, and second, to obtain the cession
of Kiao-Chau as payment for past SER
vices rendered China by Germany in
connection with the conclusion OF
peace with Japan.
There is much self-congratulaotiOn
among the Germans that the mission
ary incident absolves the government
from the tedious and perhaps abortiye
process of automatically claiming a
coaling station in the form of a de-
mand for a treaty port or a settlement
on perpetual lease. 1t is believed un-
necessary to take Great Britain into
account, she is over-occupied else
where, while Japan is not likely to re-
sist the coalition of Germany, Russia
and France.

GREAT STORM IN ITALY.

Rome, December 6.-Torrential
storms have prevailed for three days
over large parts of Italy. In the bay of
Naples, twenty-five merchantmen have
been wrecked, though there has been
no loss of life, and several houses On
the sea front have collapsed Consid-
cradle damage has been done here and
in the district around the city. Almost
all parts of Italy have suffered in a
measure and railway communication
has been seriously interrupted. The
harbor of Portici, on the bay of
Neples, has been greatly damaged, and
it is feared that there have been some
fatalities there.

New York, December 6.-Changes at
the opening were mostly on the side
of gains. The early market was strong
and active under a buying impulse,
which was set in motion by expecta-
lions of a most satisfactory message
from the President to Congress- Man
hatton was afeature, being particularly
influenced by the discussion of the COM
pany's plans for branch lines and on
Electro-motor The stock advanced two
points and then receded slightly. Gains
of / per cent. were experienced in Su-
gar, Peoples Gas, Tobacco and Rock
Island. The balance of the list adj
vanced substantial fractions, although
slight losses were scored by L. & NJ,
Jersey Central and Wabash preferred.
After the initial hour the market burst
into activity and displayed marked
strength under the leadership of the
specialties, Sugar advancing "a per
cent? to 1.411R. The leading railway
shares were also strong, though the adj
vances were less marked. Rock Island
gained 13s and the rest of the Granger
group about point. The international
shares Jagged somewhat. Lake Erie &
Wheeling rose strongly 3R points. while
Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling preferred
advanced 21a points, and Tobacco ex-
tended its gain to "a per cent; around
noon however, an easier tone develop
ed. Tobacco and Jersey Central broke
over a point, Rock Island B per cent.
The whole list eased off and the market
lapsed into dullness. Toward the close
a rally took place and final quotations
were a shade firnler.

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, December 6-The week
opened in dry goods with return to the
duh conditions which have prevailed here
tofore. The signs of cold weather is still
a predominating factor in the quiet which
prevails. The general market for cotton
goods is entirely unsatisfactory with SELL
ers entertaining hopes for the future, but
unable to give any satisfactory account of
the present trading.

Stocks-Although spectators in
stocks have sought to influence prices
for several weeks by surmises on the
contents of the Presidents MESSAGE
the actual publication of that document
to-day had little effect upon the mar
ket. There was nothing in it that
came as surprise, almost every point
having been accurately foretold in de-
tail. Prices of stocks had been adj
Vanced to some extent in anticipation
OF the message and there was some
expectation that it's publication would
be met by a decline caused by realiz-
ing sales. But the market held fairly
steady after, its publication until a
raid by the bears in the final hour.
which was encouraged by the weakness
OF New Jersey Central and the Coal
ers. Union Pacific was directly affec--
ed by the paragraph devoted to it in
the message and declined nearly
point. Most Of the days movement Of
prices was, however, due to special
causes and was most marked in the
specialties. Sugar was the leader in
point of activity and strength, and a6-
vanced at one time 31s points. Its
strength was caused by the approach
Ing dividend period and belief in the
advantage arising from the newly ap-
piled countervaiiing duties. Manhat-
tan was at one time "a points above
Saturdays close, on the belief that the
proposed Underground Rapid Transit
plan will be vetoed by the courts.
Rock Island continued to enjoy an ad-
vantage from its newly perfected re-
funding plan and gave strength to the
other grangers by sympathy. Some
of to-day's railway statements of earn
ings for the fourth week in November
were SO favorable as to lift the prices
of their stocks. This was notably true
of Missouri Pacific, which showed an
increase in earnings of S276, 900, and in
Louisville, whose gain was nearly
$4,000. Each of these stocks rose a
point. Cleveland, Loran & Wheeling
preferred moved up 2la points on the
increased earnings showed, and the
Missouri 4 (Southern railway preferred

Among the Employees of the Pittsburs
Plate Glass Plants.
Anderson, Ind, December 6.-State
Labor Commissioners have been sum-
moned to take charge of the Pittsburg
Plate Glass plant at Elwood. Two
hundred polishers and grinders are out,
and it is feared the strike will close all
of the company's plants, nine in num-
Der. The company has attempted to
put in new working rules into effect
at all plants and workers protest.
Unless Labor Commissioners are
able to bring about an early settlement
1t looks as if all the workers at Ell
wood, 800 in number, would walk out
this week and call out the seven thou
sand in other plants belonging to the
company.

WHO WERE THEY?
Action of Young Ladies on the Streets Creates Excitement-Look Out for
 a Sensation.


 Yesterday afternoon three beautiful and richly attired young ladies were seen walking rapidly up Twentieth street from the direction of the Union Depot, who seemed to be in a fearful state of ex- citement. as they repeatedly glanced in the direction from which they came and quickened their pace, while closely fol- lowing them were party of handsome strangers whose jesticulations indicated that they were trying to attract the at tentdon of the young ladies. As the par ty, pursued and pursuers, reached the corner and turned up Second avenue with the crowds, it became evident something "racy" was on the tapis, and ye pencil pusher, scenting an item in the air. determined to press forward through the crowd and If possible overtake the blushing beauties and obtain an ex- planations of the queer proceedings But before he could do so they had followed the crowds into the great department stores of Messrs. Prennen, and were so absorbed in their shopping, that no time was found for an interview. There was no disappointment as regards the "racy" item. however, as there seems to be a continual rush for bargains at the great department stores. e They sell everything, and the prettiest girls, the handsomest men, and the very best housekeepers in this blessed, sunny land are their patrons.
