The stock market vras by all odds the most active we have had since the revival ti business last fall, but while displaying a strong temper during most of the day, it fielded throughout the list in the last hour and all the early gains were lost, with something In addition. The raid was made during the last hour of business by a combination which has been selling stocks, and whose members have been endeavoring to become buyers at lower prices. The movement was started by a sudden drop in Chicago Gas. which is believed in some Quarters to have been the result of a settlement with the "shorts" and with this settlement all necessity of keeping its price tip was done away with, consequently tnanyhc&vy stop-orders in it v ere uncovered at every 1 per cent down and the suddenness of the decline has seldom been equaled. The drop was followed by a determined attack on the whole list, to which the 'bulls" did not appear to make any strong resistance, the more prominent among them expressing the opinion that this reaction would bring in a fresh lot of buyers. The forenoon's dealings were marked by great strength all around, but the upward movement in New England, which tairly led the list was very large and that stock rose above 50 on heavy transactions, bringing the whole list along with It Other particularly strong stocks were Rock island, Richmond & West Point Atchison, together with many of the lowpriced specialties, among which Louisville. Kew Albany &, Chicago, Kansas & Texas and fct. Panl & 1) ninth were specially prominent The most conspicuous feature of the market at this time, however, was the strength in the industrials, including Chicago Gas, whieh rose from 7S7s to 8a The only real weak point in the list, however, was Louisville & Nashville, which responded to selling by the foreign element and retired over 1 per cent in the face of the strength of the market The break which carried all the rest flown had little inlluence on it and it Fielded only slightly when other stocks were running off rapidly, and ita decline for the day is not much larger than that of lome others which were stronger in the forenoon. The siose was very active but weak, generally at the lowest prices of the cay. The important losses include Chirago Gas, 4s; Louisville & Nashville, V: C. C. C. & St L., 1; Cotton Oil. Us, and Wheeling & Lake Erie. 1 per cent New England stands alone in showing a gain. Its advance being 28 per cent Railroad bonds were also more active than at any previous time, and the total ales reached $5,240,000. but, unlike tocks. there was no severe slump in the final dealings, although some of the more ctive of the speculative issues, like the iichmond & West Point bonds and some others, yielded slightly. The Kansas & Texan bonds were the special strong features, but all the more prominent issues were advanced more or less, and the Readings and the Richmond & West Points were very active. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were dull but firm. Closing Quotations were: Fourrercent. reglioy Louis. & Nash 82s I our per ct, coup.

OP-io per CHAIN AND PRODUCE. Wheat Depressed by the Government ReportCorn and Oats Lower. On 'Change yesterday wheat was easier, corn quiet and oats easy. There were inspected in four cars of wheat, eight of corn and six of hay. Said a well-known shipper yesterday: 'The government report Issued lato on Wednesday, after the close of tho market, has had a vry depressing influence on wheat on account of its exhibit of the largeness of the crop, it being several millions larger than bad been anticipated by the trade. The qnanties of corn and oats indicated by the figures were about what were expected." Ttie wheat market yesterday opened decidedly weak and much lower. All other grains sympathized in a measure, and the markets altogether were sluggish and heavy early in the day. Later, heavy selling by parties favorably impressed with the situation, from a bearish stand-point, together with aales on exhausted margins, created a disturbance in wheat, which carTied corn down 1 cent and oau half as much.

A System That Is of Benefit to Country Weeklies and Helps Impecunious Dallies. Jno. Gilmer Speed, in Harper's Weekly. Some ten or eleven years ago two or three newspapermen in Chicago conceived the idea at election timo of stereotyping the election news, and sending it in blocks ready to be locked into newspaper forms for use by the papers in the neighborhood of the Western metropolis. From this small beginning a great business has f:rown, and all kinds of matter are cast nto plates, and expressed away for use by the newspapers. This plate matter not only Includes miscellaneous readin matter, news and editorial paragraphs, but teiegraphio news, so that the subscribers to the service are only a few hours behind the great city dailies, which pay out thousands of dollars a week for telegraph tolls. As the plate-makers employ the best writers, paying good prices to authors, the matter is really very good indeed. It is by purchasing these plates, and so saving the cost of several compositors, that these small dailies not only manage to exist, but to thrire and even get rich. I learned of one paper printed in a town not more than 200 miles from New York. The town has a population of 6,000, and the paper a circulation of 800. It comes out every afternoon in the week except Sunday, and is delivered at the homes of the subscribers for ten cents a week. It has four pages of seven columns each, is well printed and bright-looking. The owner, it will be seen, gets $J0 a week for his circulation. How. I wondered, can bo make it pay! I learned that these were his weekly expenditures: 3 compositors at $9 each $27.00 1 printer's devil 3.O0 1 reporter 7.00 Plates (telegraph news) 10.00 PI a tea (miscellaneous) 1.50 Rent 5.00 Taper 12.0O Lights 1.50 Fuel 1.50 2 carriers at $3 each 0.00 Owner's services...... 9.00 Incidentals 3.00 Total $36.50 Here we see that the paper which he sells for $S0 a week costs the publisher $3.50. But he prints an average of fif teon columns of advertising daily, and for this he gets 85 a column per week; so here he increases his income by $75 a week. But this is not all. 'lie averages 820 a week from reading and political notes, so that his gross income is as follows: Circulation $S0.0O Advertising 75.00 Reading notes 20.00 Total $175.00 Expenses 86.50 Net profit $88.50 This, it will be seen, is a very handsome protit for a man to make who is content to rato his personal service at $9 per week. On this sum, in the town where he lives, he can get along very nicely, and quite as well as his neighbors. If he lay by his $4,flG0 a year it will only be a little while before he is a rich man. It may be said that his one reportei is a collego graduate, and is quite content with the $7 a week which is paid to him. That salary, however, is quite equivalent to three times the amount in New York, as it will buy just as much comfort. Until the introduction of the plate service such an enterprise as the one described would not have been possible Now there are at least 500 ? dally papers In tho United States costing less than $100 each per week to manufacture; and, as a rule, these papers are generally about as prosperous as the one I have mentioned. The country newspaper owners are not, after all. the least fortunate of men. On tho contrary, they may be considered to be very lucky. They make money, they iuflnenco publlo opinion, and they enjoy to a marked dsgree the consideration and respect of their neighbors.

EVERYONE WANTED TO SELL

As a Consequence tho Chicago Uarket Lost More Than It Gained Wednesday. Estimated Increase of 12,000,000 Bnshela in Last Year's Wheat Crop and Enormous Stocks in London Caused the Decline, TRADING AT CHICAGO. Corn, Oats and Pork Unable to Stand the Slump In "Wheat. CHICAGO. Jtn. 7. The bull feeling which prevailed in the wheat pit yesterday all evaporated over rigbt and the sentiment to-day was decidedly bearish. The feeling was one ot discouragement and tho selling was equally unanimous. The result was that the appreciation in values, which it took all of yesterday's session to bring about, had all disappeared before -the trading began. Prices broke steadily, with I scarcely any reaction, and the close was weak at a net loss of 2Mjo compared with yesterday's. There were several bearish pieces of news, but the potential ono was the government estimate on last season's crop. The market has been for months staggering under the load of the enormous crop generally estimated at 600,000,000 bushels and when the statistician of the Department of Agriculture piled about 12,000.000 bushels on top of. that it was too much. It was the proverbial last straw, and broke the market's back. On top of that came tho intelligence that the stocks of wheat and Hour in London were the largest in recent years, being 4.400.0CO bushels of the former and 430,000 barrels of the latter, against 2,240.000 bushels and 145,000 barrels, respeotively, at this time last year. The "longs" who had been holding in the hope that something might turn up to help them out, together with the generous buyers of yesterday made haste to unload. The "bears," who were temporarily rattled yesterday, rallied in forco and pounded the market. Domestic markets, furthermore, were all weak. New York, which closed last night at $1.07, fell to 81.05Mi. Duluth also sold off a cent; MinneappolislUc. and St. Louis lc, Foreigners, however, did not seem to take such a pessimistic view of the situation. The weather was reported at zero and below in the Northwest and very cold in the winter district, but with little snow. Lester sold a big line and nearly all the big houses had selling orders. Fardridge told wheat early, but covered a good deal on the subsequent decline. May fluctuated for some time between 917go and 95 He, then grew decidedly weak, and. without material reaction, broke to 93c, recover ing some, but closed weak at C3 Vic Corn was fairly active but easier, chiefly in sympathy with the depression which ruled in wheat But there was not the same discouragement and loss of confidence. The government reports the crop at 2,000.000,000 bushels, or 15,000.000 less than generally computed, and thp export demand continues good. The receipts are not very heavy and inspection continues to show a very email proportion of the contract grade. Oats were quiet and weak in sjmpathy with wheat and corn and closed with a loss of Ttc Hog products opened lower in sympathy with weakness in wheat, but there was fair buying. This was met by free offerings by packers. There were some further fluctuations within a narrow range and the close was at slight losses compared with yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 112 cars; corn, 1S3 cars; oats, 114 cars; hogs. S8,C00 head. The leading futures ranged as follows:

list TTeek Was Flearjr, but the Cold Weather Has Necessitated Lighter Ilunnlnjr. MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. 7. The Northwestern Miller says: The mills last week ground 21.000 barrels more flour than in tho week before. The output for the week was 173,290 barrels, averaging 28,715 barrels daily, against 149.0S0 barrels the previous week. 114.320 barrels for the corresponding time inlSOl, and 135.780 barrels in 1S90. The water power, with colder weather, has become less favorable, and for that reason the mills will run somewhat lighter than would otherwise be the case. One water mill of thirteen hundred barrels capacity had to stop Monday, and will not be able to do anything the rest of the week. There were seventeen mills running today, and they were grinding at the rate of about twenty-nine thousand barrels per twenty-four hours. The supply of cars is now sufficient, 60 that the mills no longer have any tionble in getting what they need. The flour trado is very quiet, with the mills running largely on old orders. Only ono of the heavier companies reports fresh orders equaling the ontput, while the majority did not do half as well. There does not seem to be very mnch difference between the volume of domestic and foreign trade, both being light. The foreign demand, though small, is mainlv for patents. Bakers are not easily kept cleared up and low grades, are accumulating to some extent, the situation being in strange contrast to that of the opening of the crop year when very little patent could be sold abroad, bakers and low grades being almost exclusively wanted. Prices bare been easier, though the advance in wheat the past two days has made some mills firmer as to patents. TRADE IN GENERAL. Quotations at St. Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-May wheat opened this morning at 91c, c under last night's close, and that was the highest point of tho day. There was a break of lo before noon. The decline was steady, for when the longs saw which way the market tended they brought out their wheat, and continued oflering soon hastened the oppression. But there was still greater decline to come The break to 90c had been by fluctuations of c Chicago made a break, and with a wild rush the longs began dumping. For fifteen minutes the excitement was high, for each a decline in one day bad not been experienced in many months. The bulls were not prepared for it, and they fought bard. The bears kept pounding away, and the price going lower, and when the closing bell rang it was traveling down grade pretty lively, for in the next ten minutes the break had been 34c It was the lowest point for May wheat this season. At the close it was 89c, a decline from last night's close of 2?fec. The cash markot was in active condition, and No. 1 Northern held up to yesterday's price of 87o in spite of the break in futures.
