kind advancing Q cents a bushel A
great deal of long wheat came out and
there was heavy selling by a bear
house on their optimistic Argentine
advices that induced considerable re-
alizing. while the crowd took courage
and sold. AS consequence the days
upturns were more than lost but there
was good cash business hero and else
where. Twenty loads We're worked at
the.sea board and as there Is conflict
of opinion as to the Argentine crop,
We think the situation Is strong
enough TO warrant purchases should
further dips materialize. while we look
for the present broad market to con-
tinue.
CORN---Lverpoo noted heavy
stocks. and as the weather was favor
able, the slight advances that appear
ed early that were in sympathy with
wheat did not hold and considerable
long corn care out offerings increas-
ing when wheat sold down. Shows
report was not considered bullish as
regards quantity. but of quality only.
and the snap was out of the market
with December freely offered. Further
declines will probably bring in buy
ing orders, as sentiment is bullish.
OATS-Sample lots unchanged.
Commission houses and the local
crowd bought early but elevator peo-
pie and the northwest sold old May

the close the market acted heavy.

-, Horse Market. :

Chicago, Dec. 1S--General trade con-
tinues of unusually narrow proper
tons and the clearance is slow at
about steady prices. A few eastern
dealers competed with local buyers for
the best offerings but demand lacked
the strong aegressjveness to lit prices
above the level of last weeks Quota
tons. Trade normally is passing
through the dullest season of the year
and improvement is not anticipated
untl after the holiday season is over.
Commission dealers are not forcing
the market, as heavy receipts would
intensity present unsatisfactory con-
ditions, and country consignments are
being held down to urgent demand to
assist in steadving prices. which have
ruled weak and uneven for several
weeks. Receipts are light and the
clea ance is slow at the following

AN ExCELLENT LECTURE.

The lecture of DR.. Coyle, in st.
Mary,s hall, Tuesday night, on Cen
eral Shields as Senator, Statesman
and Warrior, was certainly very
able effort and showed mind well
versed In history and capable of deep
thought. In referring to him as a
senator he spoke of him as represent
ing Illinois, Montana and Missouri,
and In fulfilling the duties as gov
ernment land agent and territorial
governor of Oregon the doctor eulog-
ized his square dealing and Jealous
service in the highest terms. AS a
warrior, the doctor. in his remarks,
seemed to vie with the historian in
eulogizing the deeds of valor per-
formed by the general on the battle
fields of Mexico as well as those of
the civil war. He told his audience
how the general was shot through
and through in the Mexican war and
how his recovery seemed almost a
miracle. Truly those who heard the
doctor were well pleased and would
feel a great satisfaction in listening
u him again on some other occasion.

ready indorsed the measure. A
