Chicago, December A special
telegram received from the Minneapo-
lis Chamber of Commerce stated that
it is reported that the Penney Elevator
Companies have made a combine with
the Pillsbury Companies and have Sc
cured not only the wheat in Minneap-
oils, but all the wheat that is stored in
elevators throughout the Northwest
Pillsbury's recent prediction that wheat
would touch $1G5 is consistent with the
rumor Of corner, and while no figures
to the extent of the corner are given, a
grain man who is known to be on the
inside, says the rumor is correct. The
news from Minneapolis, however, had
very little effect. The market through
out the short session was characterized
by narrowness apparently from the
lack OF any influential news. The May
option opened at SOC, advanced a frac-
ton, receded to SOC, and then reacted
to 89%c, closing at 891ac. Northwest
receipts were moderate. In December
there was comparatively little trading
but that option improved relatively
more than May.

Chicago, December IA decline OF
&c with which wheat opened today
was pared down by the action OF shorts
to a net decline Of ssc at the close.
Weak cables were responsible for the
early decline, but the clearances, the
largest OF the season, made fairly firm
market toward the close. Corn and
oats were firm and advanced &c and
A@3sc respectively. Provisions adj
vanced 5@1Uc on a food shipping de-
mand.
Wheat started weak and ct 5s@Bc
decline for May. Liverpool was Ad
lower for December wheat, 5sd lower
for March and 7sc down for May, COM
pared with yesterdays closing rates.
The weather has turned from severe
frost to a decided thaw over the greater
part of the winter wheat country; and
the Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
were again not far from double those
of the corresponding time of the year
before. The market did not for some
time give much indication of doing bet
ter, but in the course of an hour from
the start it had acquired small mod
icum of firmness. The opening prices
for May on the slight rally that fol-
lowed it sold up to S31ac. January dur
ing that time made some peculiar
changes, selling at from $3.50 when
May was sec, and at 89c when May was
bringing S9Ac or at from &c premium
to nc discount compared with the May
price.
The weakness at Liverpool was ac-
counted for by the editor Of the Liver
pool Corn Trade News in cablegram
which said the decline was owing to
selling for March and May on orders
from Chicago and also to Thoman's re-
port issued yesterday. Minneapolis and
Duluth receipts Were $50 cars against
927 a week ago, and 469 the corre-
spending day of the year before. The
primary receipts were as bearish as
ever, the total of the day being $4,000
bushels against only $4,000 bushels
on the like day of the year before. The
expected increase in the visible supply
of 100000 bushels should it be realized
will stand contrasted with 2,602, 900
bushels decrease for the similar period
OF 1896 The weeks exports from both
coasts were 100000 bushels, the largest
but once before for one weeks ship
ments. The days clearances from At
lantic ports were liberal at the equiv
alent in wheat and -four of 717,000
bushels Those liberal shipments,
combined with firmness Of the Paris
and Antwerp markets, considering the
previous days weakness here, added to
the recovery to a further slight extent.
May rose to S9Ac, but reacted little
under scattered realizing, mostly on
small lots, and closed at S91Ac, or 2sc
lower than it did yesterday. December
was neglected by the general crowd
and was only heard from at wide inter-
walls. It sold from 94Ac at the opening
to 951ac, and closed at Csc, which shows
no change for the day.

New York, December 4.-There was
a period of excitement at the opening
of the Stock market to-day. One thou
sand shares of Manhattan were thrown
upon the market selling at 104A down
to 103A simultaneously. Running sales
of 1000 Chicago Great Western in the
meantime brought from Is to 15A.
This state of affairs was short lived and
the general market became good deal
mixed, although the changes shown
were of small proportions. Support
ing orders soon appeared in Manhattan.
Sugar responded sharply to covering
orders, while the railroad shares were
almost entirely neglected and huctuat-
ed feebly. In the second hour of trad
ing the market was practically feature
less. Prices moved narrowly through
out the list, but it was apparent that
the trading element favored the bear
side. There was a degree of weakness
and the close was barely steady.

NEW YORK;. December

Stocks--To-day's stock market was
left almost entirely to the room trad
ers and they seemed disposed to de-
press prices during the early part OF
the session by short sales. Thelr
effort met with little response and they
covered before the close, bringing
prices in most cases slightly above yes
terday's close. The movement of prices
was, however, trivial throughout the
day, except in few special cases.
Manhattan reflected the anxiety OF
those who had bought yesterday under
the mistaken impression that the I'M
derground rapid transit plan had been
declared unconstitutional.
Heavy offerings at the opening sold
the stock down a point, the lowest OF
the day. The close was near the low
point after full recovery in the
meantime. All scfts of rumcrs were
affoat regarding the stock and the
dealings in it were at times quite
feverish Sugar was traded in for the
most part at level below yesterday
close, the supply of stocks being ap-
parently large on any advance. chi
cage Great Western showed degree
of strength OH account of it's large per-
centage of increase of earnings for the
fourth week in November. Susque-
hanna and Western continued to rise
in price, and Delaware & Hudson, Of
the coal group, sympathized, but New
Jersey Central and the Reading stocks
on the other hand, were heavy. The
days news, so far as it was regarded,
was favorable, statements of fourth
week earnings that were published
showing large earnings and hand
some increases.
The bond market has shown less
hestancy than stocks, and prices have
steadily advanced, though periods OF
iessened activity have accomplished
the declines in prices of stocks The
supply Of high grade bonds has been
unequal to the demand, and the de-
mand has overhowed to the low priced

price. Total sales Sic, 500,0 900.

an address ON the subject ot"'Rome and
the Bible in Free st. Andrews church.
Edinburgh, In connection with the Scot

occupied by Professor Thomas Smith.
Pastor Chiniquy said that the Church

greatest enemies in the world. The
Church Of Rome did all she could to:
make Professionals believe she respected
the Bible, but the fact was thai. though:
she forced her priests to swear to read
it, she also made them take another oath
to interpret no single word of the sacred
writing according to their conscience or
intelligence, but only according to the
unanimous consent of the Holy Fathers
The Bible was thus sealed book to the
priesthood. At present the Jesults, who
ruled the Pope and the Church Of Rome,
were the shrewdest men the world had
ever seen, and there was plot being
worked with such ability that it would
require little IL 'ffhe grace of God If,
before twenty-fivessyears, Scotland did
not fall into the Hands of the Pope. 1t
