CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, December 2O.-Because of a
decrease of 2,SS0.Nm bushels in the Eu-
ropean visible supply wheat today took
an upward slant. Unfavorable crop con-
ditionS in France and Great Britain were
also factors i'm favor of higher prices. Dry
weather in the American southwest kept
the bears from being demonstrative. 1t
was noticed too that quite little cash
business was being done here right along.
On the other hand, Argentine and Austria
liam offers We're said to be meeting with
poor inquiry. although quotations had
been lowered. Furthermore the pilng up
of stocks at primary points in this coun-
try continued with little if any abate-
ment. Opening prices here were I'M
changed to 1saAc UP. May started at
:}5Ss to 951s, the same as last night, to a
gain of 1sc and rose to JJ3s.
Country offerings of corn were light.
and a little demand from shorts firmeci
up prices May opened a shade higher
to shade lower at AIS to Ala and adj
vanced to 41asa47h. The oats market re-
sponded in moderate way to corn
strength. Nav opened unchanged DIT 337s
and went TO SIC.
Scarcity of offerings made provisions
strong. First sales were the same last
night to &c higher, with May options at

Dividend Rumors Spread.

The decline of over > points in Lehigh
Valley was ascribed to rumors that the
directors had decided not to increase the
dividend at their meeting tomorrow to
above per cent. if that.
Another unfavOrable factor was the de-
cline of $6S6.tOO in the November net

.STRATFORD FIREMEN
 SAVE PROPERTY IN
 HARDSHIP OF STORM
Loss of 8, ,0OO in Destruction of E. w. Peck's Barn and Horses

Stratford firemen, struggling to confine flames consuming the large barn of Elliott W. Peck, Long Brook and Patterson avenues, Stratford, to that structure alone, succeeded in saving the dewllings of Charles Da- wis, Otis B. Curtis and Edward H. Churchill only by dint of much sK- fering in the biting cold and swirling snow storm at 6 o'clock last night.
 Today icicles are hanging like huge spectres over the ruins of the big barn, where the streams of water de- spite tine intense heat of the fire, con- gealed almost as fast as they fell up- on the doomed structure. A domes. tic discovered the blaze as the Peck family was seated at the evening meal. MT. Peck, formerly the secre- tary of the A. W. Burritt Lumber Co. of this city, strove without suc- cess to rescue two valuable horses and calf.
 Mrs. Peck summoned the Stratford fire department. William Freeman lowed the fire engine to the scene with his team while MT. Leeds lowed the chemical engine to the blaze. When the firemen had reached the scene the barn was wrapped in flames and most of their energy was devoted to saving adjoining struc- lures. The loss is estimated at S2,- 900. Only recently many blooded cattle were removed from the build ing and installed in a new stock barn.

 Asks $1O,OOO Damages.
 The alleged shooting of a Bedding man by neighbor who lives just across the town line in Bethel, fur nished the basis of s10,0O0 dam age suit which was placed on trial in the civil superior court in Dan bury, Tuesday The plaintiff is Ben iamin Godfrey and the defendant is James Smith. In the complaint, God frey alleges, that on the night of May 29, 1909, he was returning from Danbury, with an acquaintance, and when he reached the house where the plaintiff. James Smith, lives, he named Ashworth, who lived in the house. After he had called for him a couple of times, it is alleged, Smith opened the door, and without warn ing, fired at him with a shotgun, in hicting a wound on the right hand, that resulted in blood poisoning. The victim was forced to go to the hos pital at Danbury, where he had to remain from the 9th of June till the 26th of October. When finally dis charged he had lost the use of his right hand and arm, which had be- come withered, and as a result, he lost his position as a carpenter. The defense denies the most of the com plaint, but acknowledges the shoot ing, which is claimed to be accident al He states that he was bothered with chicken thieves, and was within his rights in going out with gun to protect his property when he heard prowlers about the place, as late as 12 at night, at which time the shoot ing took place. Godfrey said that he had on his back a bag containing quart of whiskey and some phono- graph records. On cross examina- tion, he said he had been to Danbury and had spent the day there visiting old friends in the various saloons, and had had few drinks that he felt, perhaps little, but he was not drunk and neither was the man who was with him. William H. Dening testified to being with the plaintiff and that both were sober. James Smith claimed on the stand that the shooting was accidental, and that ne was standing in the basement door at the time, or about five feet from the door. He said that Godfrey came toward him and told him not to shoot, and he went to let down the hammer on the gun, when it slipped, setting the gun off accidentally.

LONG LEAN HOTEL
 CLERK IS JAILED
 FOR NINE MONTHS
Sherman Hills Uncle to the Res cue and Stolen Money
 is Returned

In the Superior court late yester- day afternoon Sherman K. Hill, the absconding Atlantic Hotel clerk was quick to change his mot guilty plea, leniency by his counsel, Paul Chap man, Judge Burpee sentenced him to nine months in jail. Attorney Chap man showed to the court that a full restitution of the money had been made to the hotel owners by all uncle of Sherman, and that outside of the inconvenience no one suffered by the against Hill was that of stealing $1,- O73 from the cash drawer of the hotel, belonging to James Callaghan. The charge of forgery was not press ed. Attorney Chapman told the court that Hill had played trick on the night clerk and had skipped away early in the morning, going to Wash 1ngton where he met a young woman from this city. He was apprehended on the afternoon of the day of his escapade. Hill confessed to his coun sel that he had frequently altered the figures in the books to cover up his stealings. Attorney Chapman attri- buted Hills downfall to the same old trouble-the swish of a skirt-he was infatuated with a married woman named Cora Dayton of Stratford. He had met her in local cafe, and put up the bluff that he was a person of means. To carry out his pretense he had to steal from his employer to keep up appearances.
 Landlord Callaghan of the hotel testified that Hill came to him four months ago and was considered model clerk. About a month before his escapade there was a shortage in the accounts, MT. Callaghan engag ing an expert accountant to look over the books.
 Looking toward Hill, MT. Callag han provoked a display of merlin ant by remarking:
 'I think he ought to be sent to a lunatic asylum. How could a man like that, six feet, five inches tall, get away without escaping attention. He was bound to be caught as soon as he exposed his shape. The trou- ble with him was petticoats, and then it was all off
 Hill was agreeably surprised with the light sentence he received.
