Invitations were issued in the name OF
the prospective bride and bridegroom for
the wedding and kensington Town Hall
was packed. The marriage was preceded
by the arrangement OF the usual formaIi-
ties at The office OF the registrar. The
ceremony took half an hour and consisted
chiefly of eXhortations by Mr.. Harrison.
MIR. Harrison. according to The London
Daily Mail" told the meeting something
about the status of woman among The
Romans. and set forth a claim that the
ethical ceremony does a good deal more
to beautify marriage than the ceremony
OF either the Catholic or the Protestant
Church.
Then there was an exhortation to the
newly married couple to live in bonds Of
love. TO let their household become cen

older ceremony. Then the bride and bride

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Wheat was weak
in today's session, foreign crop adVices
being bearish, but the market steadied
later on covering by shorts, May closing
sc under yesterday. Corn and oats
closed unchanged, and provisions 5W15c
higher. There will be no session of the
board Of trade Christmas and New Year 5
days.
The wheat market kept the even tenor
of its way, soothed by the nearness of the
holidays The pit was very quiet and
fluctuations were within a range of 3sc.
Favorable crop reports from Europe and
the liberal shipments. from Argentine
were bearish influences early, May open

$3.50. Shortly after the market went
under puts, May to $3.50, where it
steadied on buying against privileges and
covering by shorts who wished to even UP
for the holidays. This influence ad-
vanced the price, May closing a shade
under the high point for the day, 69a4c,
and 1sc under yesterday at 693s069a4c.
Clearances at the. seaboard in wheat and
flour were equal to 155,0O0 bushels Pri-
mary receipts were 5O4.2OO bushels, COM
pared with 1850 500 last year. Local re-
ceipts were 81 cars 35 of contract grade
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 410 cars,

Corn was quiet, within range Of 1ac,

any improvement. May closed un-

Oats were dull and featureless, a typi-
cal holiday market. Receipts, 155 cars.
May closed unchanged at 24c.
Provisions early yielded bit In SYM

buying by packers who have been sellers

to cover over the holidays, during which
period hog receipts are expected to be

CATTLE-There was very liberal run
of cattle this week, considering the near
ness of the holidays. The market was
some better on the good grades of stock
ers and feeders, but the fair to common
and scrubs were dull and had to sell as
low as $500 to make a clearance.
Good quality steer calves sold stronger;
$3.50 was paid for a few punches of choice
stuff. Heifer calves were also in better
demand. Bulls were about the same as
last week for the good Scrubs were low
er.
Butcher stuff started out weak and low
er the first of the week, but the market is
doing little better on good fat stuff
There will likely be very light receipts
next week, and shippers who will get in
some fat cattle will likely strike a good
market.

York market of the favorite Boston
stocks. Sugar was the most conspicuous
example, as Is shown by its extreme de-
cline of points. This stock was under
very heavy pressure all day on rumors
of a continuation of the trade war, as
well as on the forced selling for Boston
account. Burlington, Federal Steel and
Atchison preferred were also sold from
Boston.
London was a large seller of stocks
in this market, and the depression there
exercised a large sentimental influence.
The rise in the private discount rate and
the fears of trouble at the settlement
now imminent are causes of apprehen-
sion. Some of the favorite international
stocks were acutely depressed from time
to time, notably New York Central, st.
Paul, Baltimore & Ohio preferred, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Reading first preferred and
Denver & Rio Grande preferred. The
bears were energetic operators all day
and supplemented their efforts by the cir
culation of some extravagant rumors re-
garding the financial condition of various
houses and properties.
The effect on some Of the trust compa-
MES was to induce large calling of loans
as measure of precaution against any
extraordinary demands which might be
made upon them. The rumor-mongering
of the bears was so fragrant in some
cases as to cause the discussion by some
of those who were the greatest sufferers
of legal measures directed against the Of
tenders.
During the last hour the bears were
very large buyers to cover short con-
tracts, and the effect on prices was seen
in recoveries running all the way from
l to s points in the principal railroads
and induStr1als. AS a result net losses
were reduced within a range of points
except in a few inconspicuous stocks,
which had not moved previously during
the week. A number of stocks, including
those which have suffered most severely
during the week, rose above last night S
level.
The rate for money furried at one time
to per cent, but ruled for the most part
at per cent or below. Estimates of to-
morrow's bank statement are all at sea,
owing to the extraordinary conditions
that have prevailed. The banks have
gained on the regular interior movement,
but the extraordinary demand from Bos-
ton has offset that, so that the net loss
on the interior movement is about $780,,
600. On subtreasury operations they rave
gained about $4,000, 900. The amount of
gold exports which will figure in the
statement, including last Saturdays ship
ments, is about 100000 This would in
dicate net loss in cash on all accounts
of about $1,000,0O0. No one ventures an
estimate Of what the loan changes may
be.
Bonds were weak in sympathy with
stocks, the speculative issues showing
some sharp declines. Total sales, par
value, $2,59O,000. United States new As ad-
vanced p, the old As and 5s a in the bid
