Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Nov. Wheat made a sudden
drop of nc at the opening and continued slow
throughout the session. AS the little strength
was in anticipation OF higher quotations from
verses to the British army in South Africa
the trade became demoralzed when the re-
verse OF that expectation occurred. There was
very little else to encourage selling, but specu-
lators became bearish that in their eager
ness to find purchasers the market slumped
a fraction of the lowest point touched during
the day. A steady increase in local stocks,
together with excessively slow cash de-
mand added to the selling movement during
the late trading. December opened asG5ac
lower at 697s470c, sold sparingy at zoe, de-
69A AG692sc. This establishes a new low record
for the December option this year, the lowest
point reached previously being 69Zc.
Corn showed considerable heaViness sympa-
thizfng with the decline in Wheat Short SELL
ing was the order Of the day. under which the
market yielded steadily until near the close.
when country buying started a rally. The
bulge only added increased vigor to the SELL
ing movement and the market continued It's
downward until the end. December
closed with sellers at 311sc.
Light receipts and fair cash inquiry coun-
terbalanced heavy selling in Oats and the mar
ket after slight dip early held steady the
2294c.
Provisions were slow and weak. The decline
in Corn, excessive receipts of Hogs and lower
prices at the yards the depressing in
fuences. January Pork closed 10c lower at

DEBS' RAIL WAY STRIKE ECHO
Test Suit Brought by Pennsylvania
Railroad Against Cook County
for Damages by Fire.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. i6.r-Serersi C3eve-
land citizens were subpoenaed in the test
suit brought by the Pennsylvania railroad
against Cook county Illinois for damages by
fire sustained during the strike several years
ago.
The Cleveland officials are brought in the
case through William Inglis, alias Bloom,
who was arrested here in 1897, on the charge
of firing the Kelly block. Bloom feigned in
sanity so well that he was finally committed
to the city infirmary. He escaped from
that institution soon afterward and has
never been heard of since
When Bloom was first arrested here, he
said in the presence of several city Of
ficials, that he was a deputy United States
marshal in Chicago at the time of the
railroad strike and started the fire that
destroyed thousands of cars and other prop
erty. The Pennsylvania company will try
to attempt to prove that Bloom started the
fire that destroyed its property and that
he was not insane.

CHURCHILL CAUGHT BY BOERS
y. Randolph Churchill Has Not Re-
n Definite News of Cnp-
of Her Son.

Copyright, 1897 by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON. Nov. 16.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-I conveyed to
Lady Randolph Churchill tonight the in
formation contained in the dispatch from
Estcourt that her son, Lieutenant winston
Churchill, a newspaper correspondent, had
been captured by the Beers in an engage
ment of an armored train at Chieveley. She
said:
1T is not certain he has been captured
His valet has cabed me that 1t is believed
he has been, as he had not returned. The
cable was dated yesterday and received by
me tonight 1 am terribly anxious about
him. He is 90 reckless and seeks danger
so eagerly. am momentarily expecting fur
ther news. but nothing has been received,
even at the war office"
The Worlds dispatch makes 1t clear LIEU
tenant Churchill had rushed into the fray, as
in the famous charge of the Twentieth Hus-
sars at Omdurman, though in this instance
he is supposed to be merely war corre-
fighting, he will be treated as a prisoner
of war and held for exchange, but other
wise he probably will be released in a couple
of days. His mother evidently fears he
may have been wounded or worse. though
she shrank from saying so. Such a ter
mination to career so exceptionally full
of promise would be universally deplored
here as Lieutenant Churchill is regarded
as one of England's men of the future.

LARGE OFFERINGS OF BONDS

WAsHINGTON, Nov. 16,-Up to the hour

under the secretary's offer. These were
New York 50 S94, 200; Baltimore, $4,000, and
Cincinnati, SOS, 700, making a total OF ST.
94l 500. These figures are rather higher than
expected by the officials, although they
looked for high offerings on the first day.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Evening Post

well-known bond house of this city will sell
tho government a large block of bonds ag-
gregating in value from S6.0O00OO to S10,-
600 900 in a few days. Arrangements. it is
believed, have been practically completed
for the transaction so that the traster will
be practically completed. A representative
OF the house declined to go into particulars,
but admitted the plan would probably go
through. Estimates vary as to the amount
Of cash that would be released in this city

BIG DEAL FOR BROOM CORN
Union Broom supply Company VIII
Soon own Ninety-Five Per Cent
of the Market supply.

CHICAGO, Nov 16.-The Chronicle to-
morrow will say: Negotiations are nearly
completed for the transfer of the broom corn
of five big local concerns to the Union
Broom Supply company, the so-called trust,
that was organized two months ago under
the laws of Indiana. By the acquisition
of this stock, it is claimed the corpora
tion will own 95 per cent of the market sup
ply, The price to be paid for the 1000
tons of broom corn which the Chicago con-
Germs possess will reach 100000, or $3.50
a ton.
1t was the story of the deal that caused
the delegates to the convention of the
Broom Makers of the United States and
Canada to empower their executive commit
tee to call meeting at any time soon to
meet any rise in price that is expected to
follow the latest move of the trust.
Coupled with the announcement that the
trust was arranging for the purchase of the
stock owned by the local concerns, it was
the intimation that the Union Broom Sup
ply company soon will enter the field of
making brooms itself.
