CHICAGO, December 21.-The en-
gagement by England of ocean liners

bullish item of the day in wheat. May

At the beginning of the session the
wheat market derived tone of stead
mess from the fact that Liverpool was
but little depressed in the face of the
decline of 34c here yesterday. Do
nestle receipts, too, were conspicuous
ly light. The market was dull, deal
ers exerting themselves only enough
to even up in preparation for the holt
days. May opened 1sc over yesterday
at 69k@69%c. The Price Current es-
innate of an exportable surplus for
January l, of 12O,O0o,000 caused some
loosening, May dripping to 69A. I'm
til the receipt of the news that the
British government had chartered sew
eral ocean greyhounds for transport
purposes, trade was light and fiuctua-
lions rather narrow. This informa-
ton, despite the fact it had been
known England would have to take
some such measure to transport her
volunteers, seemed to strike shorts as
a new indication of the serious condi-
ton of things, and they proceeded to
cover May advanced to 70@701sc, but
eased off on selling against calls, May
closing &c p at 69A @69Bc. Seaboard
clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to $50, 200 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 531 200 bushels, compared

over yesterdays close. The market
was quiet and selling of commission

wheat turned strong, fluctuations were
narrow, the price tending slightly up

ed and the advance which ensued car
ried May up to 33c, at which it closed
asc over yesterday. Receipts here were
1877 cars. Seaboard clearances were
liberal and primary receipts as usual

cablegram:
The markets here began rather hard
er to-day and prices were marked up
easily on small dealings, the main in
fiuence being the failure of the Bank
of England directors to advance the
minimum discount rate. Later there
was forced liquidation in American and
African mines, a big firm of brokers,
who are still in deep water throwing
over their stock. Further depression
was caused by the action of the French
bank in advancing its discount rate l
to Az per cent The close was at the
worst. The markets are looking bit
unhealthy in view of the settlement.
Consols sold down to 9S.
Paris sold freely especially African
and copper shares. on the rise in the
discount rate. Spanish As were 63A.
Tintos, in which there is big French
bull account, were Az. Anacondas
were 1916 Other copper shares were
neglected.
Americans opened fractionally above
parity, but the fresh liquidation broke
the market, which closed nervous at
the bottom.
The bank bought $1,000 pounds of
gold in bars and a122.000 in French
coin.

River men above Great Falls state that
they never saw SO much trash in the Po-
tomac, except during a flood. The heavy
wind which accompanied the storm of We'd
nesday night seemed to have torn the
leaves and small limbs from trees and
bushes, and the torrents swept all these
into the river.
Anglers with live bait may profit by the
experience of Messrs. Loef1l and Rusk re-
gardlng its transportation. They carried
both pike smelt and minnows in the same
buckets, but found the smelt had killed
the minnows Consequently, it Is believed
that different species Of live bait should be
carried In separate receptacles.

Bass, Brook Trout, Frogs and Soft
Crabs in Market.

There were but few bass sale this
morning. These Were delivered from the
river boats and found their way to the
benches in the Center market. Some Of the
specimens, caught in the trap nets at
Gunston, near Mount Vernon, were of good
size.
Brook trout as we'll as bass are in the
market and the prices the trout bring are
higher than those at which the bass are
sold. Frogs are getting plentiful, and deal
ers are having no trouble in getting sup
ply equal to the demand. They have been
scarce, but the few warm nights brought
them 10 the banks of the ponds and river
and frog hunters have had great luck with
their flash lights.

getting more plentiful With the increased
supply prices are correspondngiy low.
