CHICAGO, Dec. 16. - Provisions were
conspicuously active on the Board of
Trade today, weakening on heavy profit
taking, precipitated by the Boston f1nan-
cial difficulties: May pork closed zoe,
May lard 121ac, and May ribs T1AQ10c I'M
der yesterday Wheat weakened on the
government report, but steadied on q
better export inquiry, May closing 1sc
down May corn closed 1sQAc lower, and
May oats unchanged.
The activity of provisions was the fea-
ture on the board today. The pit crowd
was large, and with few exceptions those
who composed it were sellers for profit,
an operation with which they fattened
their purses animatedly throughout the
session to the detriment of the price.
The liquidation was set going by the Bos-
ton financial reports Fluctuations were
wide, particularly in pork. The ship
ping demand was as good as ever, the
hog supply small and prices at the yard
firm. Brokers were free sellers of May
lard and holders let out lines of May
pork and ribs. At the decline the invest
ment demand asserted itself steadying
the market for time. May pork having
dropped zoe, regained half the loss but
let it go again. May pork sold from
5000 to s1053, and closed zoe under yes
terday at 5000. May lard from $5.65 to
S. 70, closing 1214c down at $3.50, and May
ribs 719@10c lower at S.. 5OG6521a.
Wheat was weak the greater part of the
session because the trade thought the
government report bearish. The Boston
financial decentralization had a depressing
effect. The pit was quiet after the usual
Saturday manner. The South African
news was variously regarded, and the
export demand early not pressing.
Receipts, as usual, were light May
opened as@hc down at 691sc, and sold
down to 6978c Here the market received
some support from buying against puts.
under which the price had slumped and
held steady for some time. Foreigners,
who were the principal buyers through
cut, towards the close made their influ-
ence felt. and as their moves were be-
lieved to reflect bullish deductions from
the tangled South African situation the
locals stopped their bids bit and shorts
did some covering. May advanced to
6Gakc, at which the session closed, &c
under yesterday, with the tone of the
market rather firm. Seaboard clearances
in wheat and flour were equal to 10000
bu.

GUATEMALA PEOPLE ODD.
They Don't Like Americans and Re
fuse to Sell Them Food.

Chicago Chronicle
The better element in Guatemala Is
cordial to Americans" said recent
visitor to the republic, but the natives
hate a gringo' and that sentiment is
especially in evidence on the trip be-
tween FL Rencho, at the end of the rail-
road track, and Guatemala City.
THE distance Is about sixty miles and
a poor rider on a slow mule is some
times all of three days getting across.
Provisions en- route are supposed to be
obtainable from the natives
Chickens, milk and eggs are plentiful,
but If the natives don't like a mans
looks they simply won't sell ct any
price. We had six in our party the first
time 1 crossed, all Americans and all
but one young. The exception was a
known In New Orleans and sensitive on
the subject Of his years. l won't give
him away, but don't mind saying he an
swers to the title of colonel.
'On the first day out we stopped at a
little settlement for dinner and, to our
dismay, were unable to buy so much as
a stray chicken The natives have a
great veneration for old age, however,
and presently they began to look SYM
mounted and was sitting, painting and
cussing, under a tree.
'At last some women came out and
brought him big platter of food. They
patted him on the back and said poor
old man in Spanish which enraged him
greatly, but his hunger overcame his
wrath aud he preceded TO gobble down
the meal, while he rest of Us looked on
enviously.
After that he was obliged, greatly
against his WILL to play the role of
feeble patrial oh every time he wanted
anything to eat, and meanwhile we
young grngos had to subsist on villain

him pull the curl out of his mustache
and try to look as decrepit AS possible. -
