1Bdisposed to advance. Then the North

CHICAGO MARKErS.


Chicago, Nov. 25.-For q few brief mo-
ments following the opening. wheat made
q show OF strength somewhat surprising
In view of the weakness shown by foreign
markets. Liverpool advised a decline Of
Nd before business started here and Lon
don reported English and foreign wheat
difficult of sale at Cd decline. The cash
situation. however. apparently overshad-
owed foreign for the time being.
A reported sale of $50. 900 bushels cash
wheat at st. Louis for immediate ship
ment, an amount of one-half of the total
available supply at that point. caused a
moderate amount of covering by the small
fry and In the absence of any particular
selling pressure. the opening prices were
maintained for a short time. May started
Wake higher at es%dssxc. December
opening unchanged at 67lxd67%c. But the
market soon turned weak. Perhaps the
biggest factor in trading was the figures
on the Argentine exportabie surplus. They
were widely at variance, London cables
giving the estimates at from 81. 900. 900 to
So. 900. 900 bushels. but even the lower of
these amounts was far In excess of last
years exports. and this fact had Its ef-
feet. Up to about IL o'clock trade was
very depressed. Trades favored the bear
side, and their selling was influential in
causing scattered liquidation by the
crowd and in contracting the buying de-
mand. Later there was a recovery but in
the last half hours trading support was
almost totally withdrawn from the mar
ket. although nothing new Of a bearish
nature developed and prices slowly de-
clined. Final prices were near the bot
tom. December closing at 6s1tc and May
at 6sA6e6hc.
Corn was weak during the great part Of
rather a dull session. The close was only
Nc lower for May.
Oats were extremely dull but rather
firm considering the weakness In wheat
and corn. May closed a shade lower.
Provisions were dull and a shade lower,
mostly in sympathy with corn. The crowd
was disposed to sell on every slight rally.
At the close January pork and ribs were
Sc lower and lard 4h65c lower.

 In the Presidential election of 1896, when a fusion of the Democrats, Popu- lists and free silver Republicans was complete. the Republicans carried the State by 2100 majority. The vote of the middle-o -the-road Populists will not be large. but it is conceded that it will benefit the Republicans by drawing from the fusion ticket.

PLANS FOR THEIR VENTURE

 AT SKAGUAY.
Believe the Arctic Explorer Will Be Found Somewhere in the Wilds of

Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER. June 1.-The advance guard of French scientists who intend to build a balloon here and start on and are now perfecting arrangements for the perilous trip. They are Dr. A. J. Terwagne, Edouard Ferret and Louis Nicolas, all of Paris. NJ. Varice is ex- pected to arrive in few days.
 Terwagne is personal friend of An dree. He said the party would get away from here in about three weeks, would proceed to either Skaguay or Dyea and make the balloon trip across Alaska, stopping at out of the way places in search of the famous explorer, who, he firmly believes, is alive and well. The doctor does not expect to experience many difficulties on the trip.
 Our principle" said he, lis to get the balloon up a certain distance and regulate it at will We have a hemp rope 150 yards long, with 30 yards in balloon. This trails along the ground, and we can guide our movements per fectly. Andree failed on account of his poor rope arrangement. When leaving Spitzbergen the ropes were inter twined and he had to leave go of two, thus sending the balloon to great height and making it unmana gea ble. He intended going north, but when he lost the ropes the balloon became un- manageable and drifted away in the opposite direction. We are convinced Andree is in Alaska If we thought he was in Siberia We would never search for him, as he would be dead by now"
 By his rope system Dr. Terwagne travelled with Andree from Paris to Dieppe recently

Owens, who was in dicted as party to the alleged forgery of receipts signed by Judge Camdens s name, Is on trial and should he be found guilty 1t might be possible to re-indict Mrs. Atkinson as she has made no denial of being the writer of the papers Owens Is alleged to have uttered. Little evidence was adduced by the prosecution Friday.
