Mrs. Rose Mcdonnell. who gave her
address as No. 1871 Fort-st. east, adj
mitted TO Justice Stein. Saturday

have been drunk, Friday night, but
she blamed her "washlady" for the

Mrs. Mcdonnell on Congress-st., very
much the worse for liquor.

There will be no cleanup day in

Everybody got out and tried to fix up
his property spick and span, getting
rid Of all debris. But the league is
not conspicuous this year, and Mayor
Breitmeyer is not enthusiastic over
the plan.

WHEAT IS GOING
 HIGHER IN PRICE New High Records Are Scored
 for Present Crop TRADE IS VERY BULLISH The Corn Market Is Weak Nearly All Day and General Selling Brings Lower Prices--oats Steady
 and Provisions Firm.
TRADE IS VERY BULLISH

Chicago, December 17.-Wheat prices advanced to new high records for the present crop here today, owing to rumors of a crop shortage In Argentina. The December delivery at one time sold at s1 171a per bushel The top for May was reached at $1 .13as. Corn and oats failed to respond to the bulge in wheat, the former closing easy and the latter steady. Provisions were moderately firm at the close.
 Extreme bullishness prevailed in the wheat pit all day, with exception of a short period early in the session, when prices showed some inclination to sag owing to realizing sales. The volume of trade was large. The December deliv- cry was exceedingly strong because of it's congested condition, and during the day sold between $1.155h and $1.171z, the top point today being 25sc above the previous high mark for the season. A leading ele- vator interest was a liberal buyer of the December option, which stampeded shorts to cover. May sold between s1.11M and $1 1.13ss, the new high point being 1lsc be- yond the former record
 Prices declined a trifie in the final half hour, owing to liquidation, the December delivery showing the greatest loss. The close, however, was strong, with prices up Isc to Pc compared with the final figures of the previous session. Decem- Der closed at s1.167s and May at s1.12M@ 1.13.
 The corn market was inclined to be weak all day. notwithstanding the un- usual strength of wheat. Cold weather in the corn belt, which will accelerate the movement of the new crop, and poor demand for the cash grain were factors that prompted considerable selling throughout the entire session, and result ed in moderate declines in all deliveries. At the close prices were SQasc below the final figures of the previous session.
 Trading in oats was quiet and the mar ket was heavy the greater part of the day. The weakness of corn had a depress- ing effect. The market closed steady. with prices shade higher to 14c lower
 Provisions were barely steady at the start, owing to increased receipts of live hogs, but became flrrner in the final half of the day on covering by shorts. At the close prices were unchanged to 121hc higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows.

LITTLE CHANCE IN
 COTTON MARKET After Early Decline Prices Rally
 Several Points BEARS EXERT PRESSURE Belief That National Ginners' Report Will Show More Ginned Than Ex- pected Leads the Bears to
 Sell Very Freely

New York, December 17.--Todays cot ton market showed continued nervous ness and irreguarity but recovered most of midday loss, closing steady. net four points lower to nine points higher, the active months being generally unchanged to two points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of two points to a decline of two points, which was about as due on the cables Scattering liquidation and local bear pressure sent prices off to a net loss or about six or eight points during the early trading when a renewal of southern bull support started covering by some of the early sellers and prices rallied to practically the closing figures of last night. This improvement was followed by renewed weakness, however, as a re- suit of continued liquidation and more aggressive pressure from local bears. and after the circulation of figures purport- ing to be the National Ginners' report on ginning to December 1s, the market reached the lowest point of the day, or q net decline of about [ to il points.
 On the decline, to 1851 for May, there was a big demand from the leading in- terests on which the market recovered in the later trading. when buying was en- couraged by a bullish weekend state ment and large reports of steady interior Inark6tS m the S0utn. II IS Balo L1al tnO National Ginners' report shows 9.429,00 bales of cotton ginned to December 1s, which would be little more ginned for the period than anticipated on the basis of the governments estimate of the crop. Local bulls believe that the census figures will be slightly smaller. Southern mar kets officially reported early were un- changed to Mc lower. The worlds visible supply of American cotton, according to New York figures, shows decrease of about 13,000 bales for the week against an increase of about 10000 bales for the same week last year.
 Receipts at the ports today, 3A6lS bales. against 32,011 bales last week, and @526 bales last year For the week 10000 bales against 1S93s6 bales last week and 41 ,472 bales last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 12,574 bales against 16614 bales last year, and at Houston, 4,961 bales against 12,673 bales last year.
