STOCK MARKET.

Business in local stocks and bonds was very
dull, even for Saturday una beyond decline
in California Wine to $S7 80 there were no
fluctuations worthy Of comment. The oil
stocks were dull.
Oil assessments are announced follows:
Kern King, sc, delinquent January %; Silver
Star, 1c delinquent January Z; McKittrick, 1c,
delinquent January 8.
y local trade journal says of Monte Cristo
OIL: The explanation of the recent rally
in the price of this stock the Oil Exchange
seems to be that the company has a con-
tract with the Standard Oil Company for a
million dollars worth of oil to be delivered
in i've years time at the rate of $500, 600
per annum. The amount received from this
sale alone, which does not exhaust the pro-
duction of the Monte Cristo, would warrant a
dividend of 40c per share per annum. The
company is still developing, however, having
ten new wells under way and will not for
some time perhaps, distribute any money in
the shape of dividends"
An interem dividend of per cent is now
payable by the London and San Francisco
Bank Limited.
Sales on the Producers Oil Exchange last
week were 81 500 shares. valued at $19 49,
the leading sales being follows: Bear Flag

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-An inclination to take
profits and Saturday dullness worked against
the cold weather bull factor in grains to-day
and May wheat closed sc down. Wheat had a.
dull, steady market, ruling firm early but
soon losing the gain. Weather conditions had
good deal to do with the speculative temper
ament and the early cables something of
help. Receipts were light and May opened q
shade lower to H@5sc up at sos 9SO%c and
quickly sold up to S0H@S1c. Trade was not
important and the carly demand from commits
sion houses was about the only feature This
gave way to proft-taking on the bulge
and the market gradually sagged off to 79hsc
closing weak &c lower at 79N 9To%c.
Corn was fairly active and ruled firm the
greater part Of the session. The early de-
mand was largely on the part OF the shorts
but the outside markets We're also fair BUYERS
The cold weather brought the early squirt on the
fear that heavy feeding to stock would be
necessary. Profit taking caused a recession,
May closing steady. Nc higher at 7A@67asc
Oats were moderately active, but ruled easy
after the early bulge May closed weak, 40
