SIX Days BIKE RAGE
The Great Madison Square Gar
den Contest Taking on More
Interesting Aspect.
Several Spirited spurts Made
by the Tired Leaders This
Morning.
All of the Teams, However, Are
Way Behind the Worlds
Record.

| New York. Dec. 12.-At o'clock this
morning there were five teams tied for
first place with a score of 1,525 miles
9 laps, in the six-day bicycle race at the
Madison Square Garden. The leaders
were thirty-siX miles behind the record
All thru the early morning hours the
riders loafed around the track, falling
far behind the record. They are tired,
especially Lawson, who seemed to wob-
BILE all over the track at times.
The men are now working on two re-
lays, except during an exciting sprint.
when changes occur every few mo.
ments. AT 5 o'clock McLaren attempted
to steal and succeeded in bringing the
bunch around the tagged out Lawson.
In the squirt McEachern's saddle broke
and he was followed by McLaren
shouting for Walthous to relieve him.
Walthous came on within a few min
utes bounding over the track and was
on his machine in an instant. He
picked up his unfortunate partner
started out after a lap, but failed to
gain any material advantage. Tommy
Hall of the English team, stole a lap
shortly before s. The riders were TAX
ing things easy when Hall shot out
of fourth place and got ahead Of the
bunch. In q very short time he had
made the coveted lap and was only
three laps behind the leaders. The
crowd had hardly stopped cheering
Hall when Chevalier one of the Swiss
team, which lost a lap last night. got
ahead of the leaders. He made Won
derful squirt and gained half a lap
when Fischer, his partner. relieved him,
and made up the other half. Samuel
son tried to follow Hall and Fischer,
but he was too near exhausted and
failed to gain lap. At eight o'clock
the score stood: Butler and Mclean.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Prices in grains be-

TO pour in, particularly in wheat. May
wheat opened steady 1sqA of cent

England delayed cables. The general
opinion among traders today is that the
farmer element that bulled wheat at the
opening Of the last campaign had been
well squeezed and was now practically
out Of the market. Buyers were scarce,
except at declining prices. May sagsed
quickly to 1885 and brought out a lot OF
reaction and steadied the prices around

NEW YORK, August 26.-4:02 p. m.
The week opened with a strong tone
and a general advance throughout the
list. Trading was brisk and the adj
vances were well maintained up to the
close with the exception of slight re-
actions in a number of issues. The
news over Saturday was not very i'm
portant, except as to the steel strike
situation, which has changed rather in
favor of the Corporation insofar that
it is persistently rumored that the
strikers are willing to return to work
on the terms of the company This
naturally has the effect of creating a
strong market for these securities.
Earnings continued as heretofore
very favorable. Foreign exchange re-
mains comparatively weak and call
money ruled between 215 and per
cent. Considerable animation was
shown in specialties, such as T. q. l..
on very good business outlook, and
Consolidated Gas on the prosperity of
the company and possible readjustment

session.
Copper stocks were rather reaction
airy, maintaining, however, tirmer

NEW YORK, August 26.-The mar
ket opend high this morning for many
stocks and during the forenoon furth-
er advances We're scored by speeiaities
like Erie and the steel stocks, while the
general tone was steady. The ad-
vances brought in profit taking orders
and there were selling also by traders
who thought that the rise had gone
far enough to warrant reaction.
Prices showed good resisting power,
however. until the last hour when they
yielded more readily but no weak
points were disclosed. In the rail-
road list Southern Pacific lead in
point of activity and was in good de-
mand on the advancing scale. There
was no news to affect the market ex-
cept the publication of railroad ear
nings which showed handsome gains
for all the roads reporting to-day. A
hopeful view was taken of the steel
situation, but nothing was made pub
lie from authoritative sources. The
weakness of the corn market was
doubtless an encouraging influence in
the market. The money market re-
