wheat from that country would be APP
proximately eight million bushels. Liver
pool cables were also lower, due partly
wheat in that market and contributed to
the general depression. In consequence
of these statistics there was considerable
realizing, but covering By shorts gave
fair support TO the market and prevented
severe break. May opened Il TO CSC
lower at 20 to 75lsc and sold down TO 745sc
soon after the opening, but advanced
later 10 751sc only to react during the last
half hour, the close being i4a@sc lower at
75n1sc. Clearances of what and -four were
equal to $50, oo0 bushels. Primary receipts
We're 49e.lo0 bushels, against $500 bushels
a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of 80 ears with a holiday
at DULUTH which with local receipts of
100 cars, one of contract grade, made
total receipts for the three points of 35S
cars. against 33e cars last week and 3e6
cars a year ago
Corn was rather quiet, but prices held
fairly steady. The weather was the
principal bun influence, the map showing
rains in several of the corn states. Cover
ing by shorts in the January delivery was
also supporting feature. Pit scalpers
were the best sellers. The close was
steady with May unchanged to sc lower
at 42N@7sc, after ranging between 42Si
and 43lsc. Local receipts were 591 cars.
with five of contract grade.
There was moderate trade in soats
and firm undertone prevailed, the bad
weather for the movement being the prin-
cipal strengthening influence Commission
houses were good buyers and the offer
irgs were limited and came mainly from
q shade higher at 33ssd1ac. after selling
between 1914 and 335sc. Local receipts were
331 cars. There was considerable realiz-
ing in provisions, which resulted in a
lower tendency to prices. \ feature in
the trade was the action of January pork
which was very erratic and made a drop
OF 81 per barrel. 1t opened at Sl7.S5 and
after selling at $3.50, there was a break
to sl7.Oo. Late in the da va good demand
for brokers brought rally and the close
was 30 lower at $3.50 An unexpected
increase in the contract stocks for the
month was the main bear factor although
the weak hog market also added to the
depression. May pork closed 25c lower at
s16.6; May lard was off 1Oal2l5c at 50. 80

pleasant surprise 10 those who had felt

There was slight tremor OF uneasiness
manifest in Mondays stock market when
the money rate amounted to fifteen per
cent but after that the tone became
strong and confident and the vapors which
had been hanging over the street seemed
TO be dissipated. The year closed with
a fairly exultant spirit among operators
in stocks. The dominant influence in
causing this feeling was the sense of dam
ger escaped. The end of the year was
looked forward to with keen anxiety
for several months and ii was not until
this week that assurances became strong
that the preparation for the emergency
had been adequate and successful
although the fears of a money crisis had
been much relieved by the announcement
of the formation OF the bankers pool to
supply $5o,o0o.0oo of funds to the call loan
market in case OF urgent need. A special
cause of discourage was the small
impression made upon the loan account of
the banks by the forced liquidation i'm the
stock market. Holders Of stocks had
ample reason to know that enormous
repayments of loans had been affected to
the banks while the weekly statements
OF the New York clearing house associ-
alton showed no corresponding reduction
OF loans. The latest statement of condi-
ton of national banks issued by the con-
troller of the currency showed that loans
actually had been increasing the country
over during the period of drastic hquida-
ton on the stock exchange.

For this reason the theoretical acceptance

Colonel Schulze has summoned his captains to report any cases for in vestigation. An officer of the New Britain company said yesterday that so far as his observation went; only two members of the company showed at any time any sign of liquor. That was on the first day, and they were quickly strengthened out, and both men did good work afterwards.
 This officer stated that there is no doubt that knockout drops were given to the men whenever they ventured into a saloon. One member of the com pany was taken with chills and he went out and got a drink of liquor. The drink must have contained some other noxious ingredient, for it put the milf tiaman out of business directly.
