CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Nov. 22-Bullish news of various description imparted a strong tone to the wheat market here today, final quotations showing a net gain of Ac to 7-Sc. The corn market was also strong, owing to the wet weather.
 Oats closed steady and provisions irregular.
 Although trading in the wheat pit was not active at any time during the day, sentiment was bulllsh from start to finish. The December delivery was again decidedly congested and the prices advanced readily on the least demand. News of the day was almost exclusively in favor of the bulls. Dur ing the day the December option sold between $1.0S1a and $1.09M. May be- tween $1.05h and $1.061s. The mar ket closed strong, although prices were about hc below the best marks of the session, final quotation on De- cember being $109A and on May $1.06iA.
 Corn closed firm with prices Ac to 1zc above the previous close.
 Trading in oats was dull. Provis- ions were weak at the start, owing to an unusually liberal movement of live hogs here, but much of the early loss was regained on covering by shorts, based on a brisk demand for the cash products. Pork displayed the greatest and at the close was a shade to Tiac higher. Lard and ribs closed at 21ac higher to 71ac lower.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York. Nov. 22.--The financial community was little pressed today to make its final appraisement of the import to corporations of the judicial decision against the Standard Oil Com pany, as it was on the short stock market session of Saturday. after the unexpected announcement of the de- cision.
 The first hour of todays stock mar ket saw contest strenuously waged between the conflicting clements in the speculation, in which the balance was fairly turned in favor of the re- actionists, in spite of the most deter mined efforts at support During this period Of the day operations, well night half of the days total business was transacted.
 The buying, having achieved it's purpose of checking the decline, di unfinished. The copper stocks suffered particularly from the assumption that the new decision would prevent the proposed consolidation of the princi- pal copper producers United States Steel and Union Pacific also were af fected.
 Reading, on the whole, was strong and formed the rallying point for the opposition to the decline.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, $s,262, 900.

Four Hundred Will Leave on the Al. Iantic Side andl Three Hundred
 and Eighty on Pacific.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Preparations are being made for 400 marine to sail from Philadelphia, either for the canal zone or for Nicaragua next Saturday. Their destination will depend upon the receipt of additional details of the killing of the two Americans, Groce and Cannon.
 The departure of the marines comes as a result of rush orders. It had been intended to send the marines to Panama to relieve 1S0 marines there The date of departure had been set for December 5, by which time the tloop ship Prairie would have been ready to sail.
 By working night and day the League Island force will finish repairs on the ship by November 27, the date set for the marines to sail
 In event of necessity the 3S0 ma- rines now in the Canal Zone could be utilized in Nicaragua in addition to the 400 10 be taken south by the Prairie. With the troop ship Buffalo on the Pacific coast and the Prairie on the Atlantic, the marines could be transfemed from one coast of fear aglia to the other in comparatively short time by the Panama railroad.
 Rear admirals galore were at the navy department today, but it was not aumitted that their presence there had any thing to do with the trouble in Nicaragua.
 Rear Admiral Schroeder, command CT of the Atlantic battleship fleet had q talk with Secretary Winthrop. Rear Admiral Wainwright, commander of the third division of the same fleet, had a long conference with Rear Ad- miral Potter, chief of the bureau of navigation. Read Admiral Swift of the Boston navy yard and Rea9 Ad- miral Evans also were visitors.
 The shallow waters along the At lantic coast of Nicaragua made the sending of a dispatch useless. It was believed rush orders had been given for the completion of repairs on the Paducah and the Dubuque. It was admitted, however, that the Albany Yorktown would remain for the pres ent in Magdalena Bay. 1t has been generally understood that they were to be ordered north.
