BULLS.
AND EEEnERa

HOGS-The market opened about &c lower
than yesterdays early market on the light
and medium weight loads at least. Good
light hogs, such as were selling largely at
SI75 yesterday morning. sold on the open
ing as high as $40. little later how
ever, the market weakened, becoming fully
Zoe lower and on that basis a good share
OF the hogs had tc sell Included among
the receipts were q number OF very heavy
hogs. some OF them not very good in
quality and they suffered the most decline
some OF them having to sell as low as 81 TO-
While the market was not very active tho
bulk of the early receipts changed hands
in fair season In the morning.
Light hogs sold largely at S76Od7 TO-
while the bulk went at S,40G7.55. II might
be we'll for shippers to understand that
buyers are discriminating very strongly
against the extremely heavy loads, that
Is. loads weighing well up toward 40 pounds
or over, and Il Is hard work TO move such
hogs at the extreme bottom prices At the
same time Il might be well TO remember
that while light hogs are selling at the top
buyers discriminate very closely In the
matter OF quality, and hogs OF inferior
quality, even II they are light weights
sell down with the heavy hogs.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
PrIcen ON RnRrd of Trnde.

CHICAGO, Dec 23-With world ship
ments growing light and with no moisture
southwest except in northern Texas, wheat
today showed strength, but in a moderate
way. At the end OF the session prices were
&c to sc higher than last night Corn
closed 1-l6c to re up, oats were a shade off
to shade advance and provisions un-
changed to 1Oc decline.
The wheat market for a while was al
most bare of offerings, but later they In
creased sufficiently to satisfy all wants.
Although apprehension Of drought damage
to the winter crop was felt there was no
certainty of actual injury as yet Many
traders attached considerable significance
to dwindling OF receipts southwest. Greater
Importance, however, was given to a bullish
estimate of world shipments, 100000 bu.,
against II O96OO0 bu, year ago. An offset
In part came in the form of an increase
Of 1.2S00O0 bu. in northwestern stocks
There was also statement that the Min
neapolis accumulation now fills about all
the fireproof storage there and includes
100000 blu. on tracks awaiting a better
shelter The market closed firm at inter
mediate prices During the session May
ranged from 96hc to 96ihc, with last sales
lsc up, at 96ad962Sc.

tinuance of the Argentine drought. May

Counterfeiting in Prison.

/
Three men were arrested Thursday in
the Massachusetts penitentiary by the
United States authorities for making
and circulating counterfeit money.
Is it not pity that men Of such tai
ent and so much ingenuity should not
apply their undoubted abilities to some
honest avocation?
If people of criminal intent would de-
vote themselves as industriously to hon

more successful men there would be in
the world.
1t seems impossible for some of the

plaster of paris had been secured. The
chief operator cut into an electric wire,
attached two pieces of carbon, placing
them on small sheets of iron covered
with tire-proof cement. On the white
hot carbon the crucible was placed, the
metal was melted and the coins were
in plaster Of paris
moulds.
Here the federal Law was being vio- (
lated, day after day, in a State institu-

1t is supposed that when criminal /
enters the dark portals Of the peniten-
