The CHICAGO Market

Chicago, Dec. 27-Disappointing cables
and better weather. together with COM
parative weakness in the northwest mar
ket. caused a sc drop in May wheat to-
day. May corn closed 2sul2C. and May
oats &c lower Provisions were active
and firm, closing 5a7lac higher.
The Liverpool opening after the holiday
vacation showed lack of appreciation OF
recent advances on this side. The weather
in the southwest was not inimiCal to win
ter wheat and northwest receipts were
liberal. With this array of bearish intel
ligence May opened Il to re. lower at
S21s to S23s. Buying for the country ac-
count caused an advance early to 62Ss
this being the highest point of the day
The market received poor support, save
when close to 50 cents or at that figure,
1t was owing TO buying at this price that
apparently saved the market from fur
Their decline. The purchasing operations
We're credited to manipuldtOrs.
The selling was largely in the way OF
profit taking, longs being moved thereto
by the comparative cheapness of the May
option at Minneapolis and Duluth. as well
as the bearish items at hand at the open
ing. Duluth was three cents under Chi
cago and Minneapolis four and four and
one-eighth cents lower, putting them on a
shipping basis with Chicago. The close
was steady, sc. down, at SIC. Seaboard
clearances were $4,000 bushels
The corn market was again dull and
featureless, the speculative crowd having
drifted to wheat. Feeling was still bear
ish, owing to the slaCkness of the cash
situation and an idea that an increased
movement would soon set in. May sold
between 1914 and 662s and &s4i2, and closed
easy, $sd1ac. under yesterday, at $3.50 Y
Oats were exceptionally dull business
being almost entirely Of a small scalpine
order The tone was easier. in sympathy
with wheat and corn. At its best May
was a shade under last nights close
May sold between 45lsdA and 455s. and
closed sc down at 4514
Provisions were strong and generally
active, owing chiefly to a light run OF
hogs and higher prices in the market al
the yards. There was a good country
demand as well as support from packers
Profit taking forced prices under theh
best level, but the close was strong. May
pork closed cents higher at 1870, May

STORY THAT WILSON IS
T0G0 DENIED

Washington, Dec. 27.-The cabinet
met as usual today. but no business
was transacted. The session was oc-
cupied in the exchange of holiday re-
miniscences. The most positive denials
are given Of the story published today
that f. D. Coburn, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture of Kansas
is to succeed Secretary Wilson. When
the fact that Governor Shaw had ac-
cepted the tender of the treasury port
folio was made public the announce
ment was made that Secretary Wilson
would remain in the Cabinet. and to
day the same statement was reiterated
a the White House in the most en-
phatic manner. The President is-anx-
ious that Secretary Wilson shouN re-
main and the secretary himself has in
formed the President that he viii be
glad to do so.

The Merry Old Fellow Gives The
Spy a Tip Where His Products
of All Values and Grades May
Be Found in Plenty
WORCESTER'S STORES ARE
HIS HEADQUARTERS
Hints of Value Given to Anxious
ShopperS:Where to Go, What to
Buy and How to Select Pres
ents For the Old and Young
Who Are to be Remembered,

Worcester has donned its Christmas
garb. It's merchants have stocked their
stores until the very walls bulge with
the good things which an indulgent
Santa Claus has provided for the hap
.piness of all. Worcester purchasers are
expectant. Suburban purchasers are
anxious. The combination is an exhil-
arating one, and consequently the
Christmas ball is kept merrily rolling
on. while old Kris Kringle winks his
north eye in a mischieyous manner and
wears a complacent smile, cut la
Klondike.
All up and down the main thorough
fares of the city, show windows are be-
decked with holly and other evergreens,
while tier upon tier of excellent things
are placed on exhibition. Nor do the
larger stores bear a monopoly of the
good things. Scores upon scores of the
smaller stores are beautifully stocked
and extra help has been drafted
to keep the multitude good natured.
Local merchants have taken time by
the forelock and prepared for the ex-
ira influx of thousands of purchasers
who were not here last year. 1t is gem
orally realized that during the next
few days preceding Christmas, wealth
er conditions proving favorable, that
many thousands of extra dollars will
be left here by out-of-town shoppers.
This is made possible by the through
trolley car connections with all parts of
this big county and the benefit given
by Worcester's street car transfer sys-
tenn All of the lines now deposit their
passengers in the centre Of the city.
1t is interesting to watch each car
from north. SOUTH east or west draw
UP at Harrington Corner and deposit
it's hundreds of Christmas shoppers.
These shoppers soon become absorbed
in the moving procession on the side
walks and hundreds make vain en-
deavors to peep into the big show win
dows They all want to purchase
something; many know not what, nor
indeed, do they know where to go. A
Spy man who is on intimate terms
with Santa Claus and has been since
he hung up his little stocking way up
| in the Berkshire Hills, has promised the
merry old fellow with a snowy beard
| to place the visiting pur-
chasers on the right road to
bargain depots and storehouses
where the works of Santa's nimble
| fingers can be found. Below is re-
suit Of a few hours investigation and
there will be more to follow from day
to day.
