Great Falls.

Great Falls. Dec. 29.-The discontinue
ance of the stub train over the Montana
Central between this city and Anaconda
will be severely felt by the citizens OF
this town. Coming as IT does during
the session Of the legislature when he
traffic between this and Helena and the
other cities on the southern n of the
line Is always heavy 1t will have the
enect OF discouraging such travel and
many who would be inclined to come to
this city'for Sunday will not do so un-
oer ne arrangement pronosed. as the
schedule makes a broken night at one
end or the other.
There Is another matter which DOS
sibly the people of Great Falls are not
SO directly interested in, and that is
the impossibility of securing any de-
cent entertainments in the town. For
n company to come here from Helena
means the loss of one night out OF its
circuit. and there are few companies
who Will care to do that. The pro-
gramme at the opera house this WIN
ter must therefore be confined to barn
storming troupes and other second
hand companies. IL is one OF the mis-
fortunes OF a town not on the main
line.

CHICAGO Markets.
Produce.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-wheat started weak,
with sellers in a large majority. Liver
pool showed a substantial decline and
Berlin and Antwerp advices were to the
effect that Argentine offerings were much
freer and at lower prices than from Amer
lea. This Increased the general desire to
realize. and also encouraged traders to
n belief that the recent advance had been
too fast. May opened hdhc lower at
10hsd70Lc, with a few sales as low as
zoe. After advancing to Okc. the market
broke to e9Zd70c. For an hour the mar
ket kept within about &C of that price.
with trading much narrower than OF late.
Then evidences Of renewed foreign de-
mand, heavy cash demand here and
heavy clearances started buying. which
carried the price back to 70&.c. During
the latter part of the. session there was
a good deal of selling to close accounts
over the holidays, and although buying I'm
general was very steady, there was
enough liquidation TO give the market a
rather weak appearance during the last
half hours trading. May declined to
70Lc and closed at that price.
Corn was fairly active and weak. The
market started lower on the decline at
Liverpool and under continued liquida-
ton. In the latter part OF the session a
better feeling developed. but toward the
close II became heavy again. May closed
lkc lower.
Oats were rather slow but steady.
Prices ruled a little lower during the
| morning but recovered after noon. May
closed unchanged.
The market for provisions was the
strongest on the floor and at times show
ed considerable activity. The market
was very strong the last two hours OF
trading. the buying demand being ur-
gent. At the close May pork was 15c
higher, lard loc higher and ribs Sc higher

Ready for Gold ImnOrta.

New York. Dec. 2s.-Foreign bankers to-
day said that sterling exchange rates
were sufficiently low to permit of the i'm
portation of gold and that 1t was not
unlikely that some would come in jan
uary: that imports really depended now
on the rates for money here. IL there
was need for the gold here some would
undoubtedly come. 1t will be easy, the
bankers said, to bring in $50. 900. 900 of gold,
IL any such sum is needed.
