Dear Santa Claus
We are nice bunch of people over
here and we don't want very much, but
we do want that little very bad. We
have been awfully good lately and have
built nice sidewalk from thesteamboat
docks to the state line so that we might
get over to the new town and do our
trading. Now there is an awful bad
piece cf ground from the end of our walk
to the walk on Washington avenue, and
we wish that you would put enough
lumber in the new town socks to build
that walk. Be sure and bring it Christ
mas, so that we may have it right quick.
Leave it with Mr.. Harris, of the Com
mercial Climb. OLD Town KIDS.

Representative Madison, recently ar
rived In Washington, has picked out
an interesting pension case in which
to try his skill as a new member. 1t
is that of a Mrs. Martha J. Curry of
Hutchinson, and the case is most pc
culiar. Mrs. Curry married her first
husband in 1855. and was his wife dur
ing the war of the rebellion. In 1864.
while at play with his comrades in
camp, he was accidentally wounded by
a bayonet which resulted in his death.
His widow applied for pension and was
rejected on the ground that the wound
was not incurred in the service in line
OF duty. Later she was granted private
pension by act of congress. Remarry-
ing, of course she lost the right of this
pension, and, under existing laws, all of
which were tried, she had no title. AS
she is now considerably past 20 years of
age, she is in need of a pension, and
the case is full of interest. Mr.. Madi-
son has figured it out that the old re-
Jected claim, disposed of back in 1864
or few years thereafter, should be
reopened, and the case considered on
Its merits. This he is in fair way to
nave accomplished, and those who have
been watching the case think he may

While a ! Inlber of cities report
that the tone of affairs has taken a turn
for the better, actual business, taking
the country as a whole shows an in
creased degree of quiet, both at
wholesale and retail, a working out of
the continued scarcity of currency at
some points, of lessening activity in
industry and of the continuance of I'M
seasonably mild weather with its nat
ural effect upon distribution of win
ter goods There is evident in the
wholesale trade circles an indisposi-
ton to do business for future periods
and large numbers of cancellations re-
sulting from the unsettlement are the
subject of widespread discussion. In
some lines, notably steel and iron and
cotton goods, traders generally have
set their faces against encouraging
this movement and a hopeful sign is
that some buyers who were stamped
ed early have since reconsidered their
action and asked that goods be ship
ped. Still, buying at wholesale is in
high degree conservative and dis
position is to cCpfne purchasing to
present wants. AS to this latter feat
ure, however, it might be well to re-
member that the day to day buying
of 100000 people makes up a con-
siderable volume in. the aggregate and

WHEAT-The wheat market for the
week reflects the usual weakness in
connection with the regular December
Incubation and also the still unstable
financial conditions. December, while
down about 4c, is still over &c above
it's low point two weeks ago. The new
Nav was pushed rs C below the dollar
lot of stop loss orders.JRut none came
out at least not then, anil a cent rally
quickly followed. Many tired holders
let go of their wheat during the week,
as it was too expensive to carry all
through period of financial strin-
big lots of wheat for shipment abroad
for the same monetary reasons.
Wheat, of course, is worth the money
and more too, but it is only the solid
cash that talks now. Whenever the
banks loosen up" and resume cash
spayments wheat will doubtless adj
vance sc within IS hours thereafter.
Conditions are very bullish, based on
present low prices. Good expectations
of bids for large amounts from Europe
Russian outlook still bad. Stocks very
light and shipments may decrease ma
sterially soon. Expectation of rye may
be prohibited. Roumania and Bulgar-
ian wheat crops discouraging, owing to
freezing weather; acreage reduced.
