To give easy access to the burners OF
incandescent gas lamps without re-
moving the mantle from its support the
latter is carried by d socket which
slides on the burner head and clamps
it to hold the mantle in raised or
lowered position.
Billiard tables are being fitted with
a new timing apparatus, which is set
below the level of the table on one
side and has a cross bar to be lowered
over the table to prevent play, the
raising of the bar starting the mechan-
ism of the clock.

CHICAGO, Dec. Silt was a holiday
market in wheat. Notwiths tanding the
fact that it was settlement day and the
session marked the close of one of the most
gigantic deals in actual wheat on record,
there was not trace of excitement, either
in the cash article or in the speculative
futures. May wheat was quite firm at
the opening, starting Nc higher. The fea-
ture of the early firmness was the sur
prasing strength shown by Liverpool, which
showed I'd. advance. Some of the strength
was carried over from yesterdays war
scare. After little show of activity
around the opening, the market began to
feel the effect of the holiday spirit and
became exceedingly dull. 1t Is calculated
that the entire amount of contract grade
wheat is now 5000, 900 bushels.
There were no shipments of wheat from
Argentine this week. Beerborm estimat-
ed that in consequence of having imported
earlier in the season in excess of immedi-
diate consumption requirements, the week.
ly needs of foreign wheat and flour in
Europe for the remainder of the season
would be 6,9e0OO0 bushels, and calculated
that the available surplus in exporting
countries to the end of the crop year would
not come within 100000 bushels a week
of supplying the requirements. The ex-
ports from the Atlantic ports were again
surprisingly liberal, equal to $1,000 BUSH
els. The market became stronger on this,
May advancing to 93A. About / o'clock
the price was down to 921s@92Ac on liberal
offerings. Then strength again developed
and in the last few minutes trading the
price advanced to 92Ss. where 1t closed.
Nothing of a sensational character devel-
oped in the December deal. Allen-Grier
were buyers of December and sellers of
May ait &c discount for the latter, when
anyone could be found willing to make the
change. The price of December held be-
tween 941a and 95 all forenoon. 1t closed
the day before at 94A. During the after
noon December sold as high as 95 and
closed at 95.
Corn was exceedingly dull, May closing
a shade higher
Oats were slow, though showing more
life than corn. The feeling was firm ear
ly, followed by a decline. the market clos
ing steady and unchanged.
Provisions were fairly active and very
strong throughout At the close May pork
was Csc higher, and May ribs 121kc higher.
Armour was buyer in the last hour.

According to the Mark Lane Express
the English wheat fields have a salts
factory appearance. ana those of France
are now regarded as favorable, but 1t is
doubted IL the acreage will be as large as
a year ago. The italian acreage win prob
ably be increased. as the whole autumn
has been favorable to sowing. The news
from Russia varies. Midness Is reported
In the Black sea ifttoral and snow in the
greater portion of the empire. The stocks
awaiting export in Russian ports amount

quarters year ago, suggesting that the
recent Russian shipments were heavier

Commenting on ship building in Great
Britain during 1897 the London Iron ana
Coal Trades Review says: THE local re-
turns of shipbuilding in 1897 SO far as thew
have appeared, make 1t quite evident that
the record for that year will be considera-
bly, behind that Of 1885, which, however
exceeded that Of any previous year Bel
fast, for example, has launched in 1897
some twenty-one vessels with a tonnage
Of 1OS,S63, or 10000 less than the tonnage Of
the previous year. On the Humber again
there was launched in 1897 only 47S1 tons,
against 1928 tons In the previous year
Many of the leading shipbuilders have been
unable to complete their contracts, and
some of them have lost as much as five
months work owing to the engineering
strike. 1t win not be surprising if, when
the returns for the year are made up, il
turns out that 1897 is $4,000 or 10000 tons
behind the previous year."
The statistics of the German Iron Mas
ters' Association show the German pig
iron production for October, 1897, to have
been GIL 779 tons. as against 5S1, ,e74 tons in
September and 554, 402 tons in October 1896
The total for the first ten months of 1897
was 5,674 4S7 tons, as against 5,063, 1856 tons
for the corresponding period of 1896. The
number of furnaces in blast during Oc-
tober was 152, as against 141 in Septem-
Der and 139 in October. 1886. The appended

SO, 100000. In estimating the future OF the
money market other facts can be consid-
erred. The government has deposited In
New York banks over s3S 900, 600 of the Union
Pacific payments 1t is not intended to
draw upon any of this for the governments
January interest payments, which VIII be
made In cash. thus offsetting the final pay
ment of the Union Pacific syndicate which
comes due Jan. 9Th, and which amounts
to IS, 500. 900.
The government deposits will be left In
New York banks until they desire to sur
render them, which, in the natural course
Of things, will be as soon as the money
market shows tendency to become
easier. The seasons enormous trade bal
ance in our favor has left us large credits
abroad, which are available resources In
the event of any great need here. But this
balance has been modified by the receipts
to San Francisco since Aug. 1st Of $11, ,S75,-
900 in gold from Australia, which largely
represents payments of Australian indebt-
edness to England by payment of Eng
lands debt to us. 1t is further modified
by sales Of foreign hclhings of American
securities and by dividends and interest
to be paid on securities still held by for
eigners, both the items being very difficult
to estimate. Prices generally outside of
a few of the specialties are Tower on the
week.
The bond market has shared in the dull
ness of the stock market during the week,
but prices have held firm or have improved.

The banks now hold s15. S1.750 in excess
of the requirements of the 2s per cent rule.
The statement Of the Associated Banks
of New York city for the week ending
December 81 is an argument in favor of
easier money rates. The banks, since De-
cember "a. have gained in cash Sc. 746, 200. and
their net deposits have expanded nearly
Sc, 000,00 As the gains In cash and deposits
were almost identical, the reserve has in
creased In proportion-that is, 1t Is about
10 per cent of the total cash expansion.
The result is the margin of excess reserve
has been Increased 4,265, 800, and at the
close of the week stood at SIS, 1885, 750 In
view of this showing all fear Of stringen-
cy over the close of the year must be dis
missed
During the next week the Union Pacific
will make another sS,000,000 pay
ment into the treasury, and there Is no
likelihood that 1t will have any more ef-
feet on the market than last weeks set
tlement of a similar amount caused. This
will end q transaction which had an i'm
portant bearing on matters for some time
