THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
4 Slight Decline in wheat and Corn
While Oats Hold Their own,

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-wheat declined
1 lie today. There was heavy selling for
local account and foreigners were good
sellers for both long and short account.
There was not sufficient support to take
these offerings. Liverpool was steady,
l-445-Sd higher. Paris was 3-4G1 1-2c
lower. Other continental markets were
higher. Bradstreet reported a decrease of
1885. 600 bushels in the worlds visible
supply. The cash and export demands
were very slack. Ten loads were taken
at the seaboard.
Corn lost lie. the futures closing at
the bottom. The present cold. clear wealth
er has increased the Western offerings,
and while there has been at the same
time some increase in the Eastern de-
mand, the recent tendency has been down
hill. There is not much speculation and
it does not take very much selling in
the pit against Western offerings TO
fill up the buying demand. Liverpool
was 1-SG1-4d higher. Local shipping
GALES were possibly 100000 bushels. Thirty
loads were taken at the seaboarl.

HIS SENTENCE SUSPENDED.
krebs Pleads Guilty md Is Remand
| ed for Further Examination.

Herman Max krebs, the self confessed
dress slasher. who for months previous to
his arrest in the early part of the present
month terrorized women by mutilating
their garments. was yesterday arraigned
before Judge Kimball in the Police Court
and pleaded guilty to nine charges OF
dress cutting. Through the efforts OF
Attorney c. Maurice Smith. who repre-
scented the defendant, sentence was sus-
pended pending an investigation into his
mental condition. II is understood that
the police are in communication with reIa-
tives OF Krebs, who are said to be wealthy
residents of Germany and that the inten-
ton is TO send the prisoner to his former
home.
When the case against Krebs was called
Assistant District Attorney Mullowny in
formed Judge Kimball that the prisoner
had confessed cutting eighteen garments.
He added that nine cases would be SUI
ficient for prosecution. Krebs then en-
tered his plea, and Mrs. VI. o. Chance.
whose dress was cut at the corner. OF Sew
enth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, re-
lated the circumstances attending it. At
torney Smith submitted to the court that
the evidence of the defence was OF such a
nature that it was unfit for the ears of
ladies and for publication. His suggestion
was that II be heard in the private con-
sultation room of the court. Three WELL
known physicians, he said. had examined
his client. and all were satisfied Of the
moral degeneracy and insanity of Krebs.
Attorney Smith added that II time were
allowed a satisfactory result in the matter
could be reached. Judge Rimball granted
the request of Mr.. Smith and suspended
sentence Indefinitely.
