WHEAT PRICES ARE
 ON DOWN GRADE
RumOr That European Buy CTS Are Reselling at Re-
 ductiOn Cause Decline

Chicago, January 7.-1ncreasing receipts and the growing difficulties of shippers had a bearish effect on wheat today The result was a heavy close at 114@1ssc to 15sc net decline, with May 12514@1. .253s and July, s1.175s. Other leading staples, too all showed setback-corn, 3s@1hc; oats 1s@Hc, and provisions 21aQl2Oc.
 It was a nervous and irregular market in wheat. most of the time, and especially in the last hour the changes were down grade. The temporary rallies were based in the main on what proved to be illusiye hopes of generous export business. An advance in vessel rates from Argentina gave some further transient encourage ment to the bulls and so did reports that the movement from Australia during Jan- uary and February would be light. Grad ually, however, thes bears acquired the advantage, for Europeans were said to be offering to resell at a substantial reduc- tion in prices, and there was word of decided increase of the stock pile at Minneapolis. Much additional signifi- canoe in regard to the accumulation of supplies seemed apparent when an-
  at primary points totalled nearly twice the amount a year ago, whereas ship ments displayed a material falling off.
 Depression in the wheat market grew more pronounced on account of shipping contracts here being made enforcible only as soon as the railway embargo in the east is removed. Even on that basis, not more than 175,000 bushels was dis posed of and the aggregate of the day s export business for the whole United States was estimated as not surpassing at the most 50OO00 bushels.
 Corn gave way with wheat despite some sales to Europe, and notwithstand- ing new high records quotations at Liv- erpool Receipts here were increasing but very slowly. Oats reflected the ac- ton of corn. Selling pressure though was not much in evidence.
 Provisions sagged because of the down. turns in the hog market and in grain. Packers were on the selling side
 Future quotations were as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January 7.-(Special) )-Wild fluctuations continued in Liverpool, that market finally closing 3 to points lower than yesterday, with an irregular tone which might have been due to the fear of government interference with the freight situation. In the morning our market pr resented the usual bearish view with arbitrage orders coming, both to buy and to sell so we consider that interest prac- tically unchanged during the day. After the noon hour a rumor became current that instructions had been received from England that cotton must be taken at a lower freight rate under penalty of the steamer being taken for government pur- poses. No confirmation could be found for this report, under which the market advanced some 10 points above last even ing, closing very steady at the best prices. We do not think this rumor has changed the bearish sentiment. as few believe it to be true, yet it has caused as to what might happen if true.

Girard, January 7.-Munch Phelps, who shot and instantly killed Frank Herman late on the afternoon of Monday Decem- Der 20 last was given preliminary trial before Judge I. A. Weaver of this city yesterday and freed of the charge of manslaughter in the first degree, on which he was held in 5000 bond since the killing occurred.
 The trial lasted only short time, only two witnesses beng examined. The wit nesses were Peck Fullerton and David Culpepper both of Girard, and both said to have been present at the time of the killing. The evidence of both Fullerton and Culpepper showed that Herman was advancing upon Phelps with his pistol in hand and when told to halt did not do so, whefeupsn Phelps fired one shot with fatal effect.
 The trouble occurred in Phelps place of business in upper Girard. Both were well known here.
