There was an accumulation of commis-6ion-house orders in the market at the opening of ’Change Monday, which had come in over Sunday as a result of the strength displayed by the stock market on Saturday. The quotations for Americans were also run up on the London exchange before the opening here. Asa consequence the market opened with quite an animated buying movement and advance of a marked fraction along the line. But the buyers of Friday and Saturday immediately set about realizing their profits and the advance came to an untimely end. The motive offered for the selling was the withholding of the decision of the Nebraska maximum freightrate case by the Supreme Court. • There were occasional rallies -during the day, Sugar mounting strongly upward after a preliminary decline to the extent of almost 3 points. There was very heavy speculation in this stock during the day, sales amounting to one-third of all sales, or over 100,00) shares, and its price closed unchanged from Saturday. These was some buying for the London account on the decline to cover contracts made In London at the early higher level, and this also helped to steady the market. The early' weakness soon overtook it and was the prevailing tone for the rest of the day,-net declines reaching nearly a point in many leading stocks and exceeding that in special caseis. Manhattan was markedly weak all day and suffered a net loss' of 1* 4 . People's Gas also developed late weakness and lost nearly a point on the day. The grangers were quite conspicuous in the decline as being most immediately interested in the Nebraska freight law. Asa result of the lively realizing movement and the active speculation in sugar, sales of stocks ran up to nc: rly 200.000 shares before noon, a figure in excess of any total day’s trading for several weeks. The continued strength of the sterling exchange market .attracts much attention, in view of the status of the international balances. Posted rates wore advanced %c for both long and short sterling. There is a feeling that-the investment buying of long exchange, the leaving of funds due on balance in uiterest abroad and the arrivals of gold at San Francisco from Australia are not sufficiently combined to account for the strength of exchange and that there is much heavier selling of high-class American securities by European holders for transfer to this side of the water than on the surface appears. The high level of prices for this grade of securities goes to confirm this view. The very heavy increase in the loans of clearing house banks, amounting to over $14,000,000. as shown in SatUCdax’s bank statement. is also being closely scrutinized. The explanation that the increase was connected with the Union Pacific Company’s payment to the government does not entirely cover the ground, as the expansion of loans previous to Nov. 20 was already sufficient to account for that operation, and was attributed to it. Saturday's statement seems to indicate that the payment to the government. which was left on deposit in the banks, had already been immediately replaced In loans. As the Union Pacific reorganization committee was supposed to have already secured all needed funds before last Monday's payment to the government. it is difficult to account for this large absorption of money in view of the known condition of the money market, demand for money being very elidl in all departments. The bond market was quite active and broad and prices were higher in almost all cases Total sales, sl.Sflo.<K)o.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. The Week Opens with a Brisk Trade, and Strong Prices the Featnre. On the wholesale streets and on Commission row yesterday there was quite an active trade, the winter weather giving snap to trade. In prices there were no important changes, still the tendency on nine out of ten articles at least is to firmer if not higher prices. Os course, dealers in holiday goods already feel the increased activity that forebodes the coming of the holidays, but in other lines such as groceries, drugs, leather, hats and caps and dry goods there is a more active trade when compared with October or the corresjionding period of 1890. While no sharp advances are established there is a steady, strong tone and in some articles slight advances from The local grain market is more active.

HISTORICAL RELICS. The Restoration off Independence Hull Lead* to Discoveries. Philadelphia Times. The walls of Independence Hall are giving up secrets well hidden for almost a century. They would have been longer hidden but for ‘ the work now in progress, 'which, when completed, will have restored the historic old building to its original condition. Now the interior is a mass of debris. Chief among the discoveries was one made last Tuesday—the finding of rusted war relics and mildewed parchments in a hole in the eastern wall of Independence Chamber. It came about in this way: A workman was busily engaged in knocking loose the bricks and mortar adjoining the east wall. He was working almost on a level with the second floor—just a few inches below it—when a blow of his hammer loosened several bricks clinging to the wall. The next moment they fell, exposing a square opening sixteen inches in dimensions. Curious, he ran his hand into the opening. grasped something hard and brought it to the light. It proved to be a much rusted chain shot, quite like the pattern formerly much used in ship cannon for the purpose of tearing away the ratlings. He called his superiors, who at once realized the importance of the discovery. One after another an ancient apparently loaded canister, a round cannon bell, a curious flintlock, several mildewed papers and a coin were brought to view and carefully removed to the office. There the relics were closely examined. In opening the pamphlets it was found that they were city records, the dates of which were barely discernable, and ranging from 1778 to 1787. The names of the city officials at that time could just be deciphered through the thick damp of age. The coin, also much mildewed, bore the date of 1802. Immediately there was much speculation as to how the relics came in the wall, which had been put up in 1812, when the original arcades were torn out. Many were of a ■mind to weave about them a bit of the romantic. Charles S. Keyser, the historian, however, is authority for the statement that the relics came there through the boyish pranks of some youths, and thus fancy is chained. Almost as interesting was the discovery made yesterday afternoon, when the workmen began tearing away on the interior of the same wall, at the place where the two fireplaces and the arcades arc to be restored. A fireplace was known to exist on the south side of what was supposed until yesterday to be the original panel and woodwork in the wall’s center. It had been supposed. however, that the fireplace had the same dimensions as the one just above on the second floor. But such is not the case, for when the hammers laid bare the sootcovered back of the fireplace and the curious heat flue adjoining it was made apparent that the fireplace is really much larger than at first supposed, thereby proving that the panel and woodwork is not original, as supposed, for part of it now. or did until yesterday, cover the old fireplace. Interesting little facts have been noticed in the judicial room. too. First, when the floor was torn up there was found in the mortar a rusted tomahawk. which has been added to tlie other relics. Here. too. the walls again figured. High up on the west wall, the tops being almost on a level with the ceiling, were laid bare two window frames, securely embedded. They had been walled In in 181.3, Thus another little change in the plans. And once more on the cast wall have been laid bare the outlines of three large arches, leading into the hall, necessitating another slight change. Such are the discoveries to date, and those having the work in charge declare that, notwithstanding the little inconveniences caused thereby, all are interesting indeed. Nor will the authorities be astonished if more "finds” are made. I’ciiMion* for Veteran*. Certificates have boen-issued to the fol-lowing-named Indianians: Original—James K. Hicks. Terre Haute.

ANOTHER DROP IN WHEAT CHICAGO MARKET l A ABLE TO HOLD LAST WEEK’S STIFF PRICES. Cable Quotation* Mere Weaker and Heavy World’* Shipment* Reported —t)tlier Market* Sympathized. CHICAGO. Nov. 29.—Wheat was weak at the start and hardly changed except for the worse as long as the session lasted. At the dose December was Hi©l%e lower and May IV,/IV 4 c lower. Weak cables and heavy world’s shipments were the main factors in the decline, though the extreme dullness of trade contributed not a little toward the weakness. Other markets were weak in sympathy, corn lost V2C and oats Vic. Provisions closed unchanged to 5c lower. Bulls in wheat were given a body blow right at the start by the enormous world's shipments, which, including India, amounted to 9,113.000 bushels. The effect was seen in the opening figures, May starting %c lower at 91%c, and slowly declining to 91%c. It recovered for a short time to 91%c, but soon turned weak again. December was even weaker, starting 14c lower at 97%c and selling off without a stop to 97c. In neither option was there anything but scattered liquidation, but there was an almost utter lack of support and a decline was inevitable. Liverpool was %and lower to start with, due, it was said, to the unlooked for increase in Russian shipments, which last week amounted to ‘3,256,000 bushels. The quantity on ocean passage was also reported 1,920,000 bushels heavier than it was a week ago, and the Northwestern receipts were still too liberal to be other than bearish in their effect, although Minneapolis and Duluth reported only 1,443 cars, against 1,876 the Monday previous, but to-day’s reduced number was still 1,113 more cars than on the corresponding day of 1896. Only one feature of the early news affecting wheat was considered favorable to the bulls, and that was the big drop in the temperature. But this was almost entirely overlooked. Primary market receipts were as encouragingly heavy to the bears as at any time during the season at 1,524.782 bushels for the day, against 518,853 bushels a year ago. Chicago also contributed, its quota of bearish statistics Receipts were 184 cars, against only seventeen last year and local regular elevator stocks increased 575,CC0 bushels. The visible supply increased 948,000 bushels last week, compared with a decrease the similar week a year ago of 1,057,000 bushels. The total visible now is 33,666,000, against 58,914,000 bushels last year. Figures on the export movement arrested the decline for a time. Atlantic seaboard clearances since Saturday amounted to 730,000 bushels. Paris advices to St. Louis were to the effect that France would require about 20.000,000 bushels of foreign wheat between Nov. 1 of this year and Sept. 1, 1898. The English visible was estimated to have decreased 141,000 bushels, notwithstanding deliveries from English farmers last week were much heavier than usual. After the posting of the closing Liverpool cables which showed I%©/' decline, long wheat began dribbling out again. May gradually sold down to 90%c, but was bringing 90%®96%c at the close. December declined to 96c and closed at that price. Corn was easier from the start. The action of wheat and !id decline at Liverpool were chiefly responsible for the course of prices. Elevator interests were moderate sellers of both December and May and there was quite general selling of December by commission houses. Shorts were the principal buyers. Receipts were 377 cars. Atlantic clearances were 320,000 bushels. The spread widened to 3%e. May ranged from 29% to 29@29%c and closed Vfec lower at 29%c. The market for oats was dull and uninterestin, though steady in comparison with the other grain markets. Business consisted chiefly in changing from December to Mat and not much of that. The break in wheat had a depressing effect, but trading was too narrow to admit of much decline. Receipts were 470 cars. The visible supply increased 253.000 bushels. May ranged from 21(ji21 1 4c to 21%c and closed %c lower at 217' 8 ®22c. Provisions, though very dull, were firm during the greater part of the day with prices averaging a little higher. Hog prices were higher and foreign advices were more favorable. Toward the end the market felt the prevailing depression in the grain pits and settled back some, though closing steady. At the close January pork was unchanged at $8.17%; January lard 5c lower at $4.22%. and January ribs about unchanged at $4.17%.

NEW YORK, Xov. 29. —The dry goods market opened with dull features in all grades and a tendency towards weakness displayed in all cotton lines, as was the case during the whole of last week. It is reported that several large houses have announced a reduction in their forces of salesmen and agents and that a number of manufacturers in cotton goods are contemplating decided curtailment unless there is a change for the ijetter within the near future. This is hardly to be expected under present conditions and until such time as the situation changes there is not likely to be any change in cotton goods at least. In woolens and worsteds the market Is still featureless. In staple cottons the demand has been slim for all lines of brown goods. Print cloths continued dull at 2 5-16 e without a marked demand noted in any grade. Cotton. NEW ORLEANS.

DINNER WITH VICTORIA. Ceremonies* Required of Those Who Are Permitted to Visit the Queen. W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record. Those persons who have the honor to dine with Queen Victoria receive a note which reads something like this: “The lord steward is commanded by her imperial Majesty to invite Mr. Carter H. Harrison to dine at Windsor Castle on Saturday, the twenty-seventh of November, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, at nine o’clock, p. m., and to remain the night.’’ Inclosed w’ith the invitation, which is written with a pen in old-fashioned script upon a large card, is a smaller card, which reads; "Paddington Station, 5:10 p. m. Please hand this to the guard.’’ It is customary and necessary to respond at once to an invitation from the Queen, and all other engagements must be canceled. Nothing but serious illness is considered a sufficient reason for declining to obey her commands, and they are not issued to sick persons. Before the lord steward sends out one of these invitations he takes care to ascertain whether the person to whom it is addressed is in England and able to accept. The proper form for acceptance Is: "Mr. Carter H. Harrison accepts with great pleasure the invitation of her Imperial Majesty to dine at Windsor Castle at nine o'clock on the evening of November twentyseventh.’’ Upon arriving at Paddington Station at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the dinner the guest presents his card to the station master or one of the guards and is escorted to a special car bearing the royal coat of arms and furnished with unusual luxuriance. Sometimes when there are a number of guests there is a special train. Gentlemen are accompanied by valets and ladies by maids, and the servants have their own apartment 'n the car. The ride to Windsor on the quicker trains occupies forty minutes, and usually an hour. The distance is twen-ty-four miles. Upon arriving there the guests find two or three footmen and other servants. One footman is told off for each guest, takes charge of his luggage, escorts him to his carriage and looks after him, or her, if it is a lady, until he or she is safely aboard the train for London the next morning, The entire party travels deadhead, and the expense is charged to the minister of the household. The lord steward receives the guests as they reach the castle and directs them to their apartments, which include a sitting room, a bedroom, a dressing room and a bath. When the guest is a lady there is always a maid in attendance. It is not considered proper to leave the rooms until called for, and the guests amuse themselves the best they can. Her Majesty is the soul of punctuality. She keeps her appointments on the dot and expects her subjects to do the same. If a guest is ever late he or she is sentenced to perpetual banishment from the royal presence. No matter what his rank or influence, he never receives another invitation to the castle, and, therefore, the attendants are in the habit of admonishing guests as to the necessity of being dressed in time. They have fully two hours and a half after their arrival, and have no excuse for tardiness. Precisely at a quarter before 9 a lady in waiting calls at the apartments of each lady guest and a gentleman in waiting at those of a gentleman guest to escort them to the reception room and present them to each other. Each gentleman is informed by his escort whom he is to have the pleasure of taking to the table, and is properly introduced. He is also shown on a diagram the seat he is to occupy at the table. After these preliminaries are over the portieres that hide the second reception room are thrown back, to disclose the lord steward, in full court dress, with his gorgeous staff of officers, standing beside a stout, redfaced little woman, who sits on the edge of a great gilt chair. By her side are usually two or three princesses and maids of honor, and often one or more of her sons or sons-in-law. The guests then form a procession in the order of their rank and pass before her Majesty, who offers her hand to them and murmurs a few pleasant wofds. Loyal subjects always kiss the seams upon the back of her white glove, but she does not like to have Americans do so, because she knows that this ancient custom is not in vogue in our country. Therefore, when she withholds her hand from an American guest it is an act of courtesy rather than a slight. Americans are usually informed in advance by their attendants of this peculiarity. and are prepared for it. There Is no time for conversation. Only a few words are exchanged. Her Majesty usually asks Americans about the health of the President and his wife and expresses her interest in their welfare. If there has been a notable incident or event in the United States she may allude to it, for she keeps well informed concerning current events. Sometimes she invites a guest to take a seat beside her. which is a mark of unusual distinction that was conferred upon Mrs. Grant when she and the. general were visiting Windsor some years ago and upon Mrs. John Hay during the jubilee ceremonies last spring. When those in the party have all passed in review they proceed in the same order to the dining room, and each stands behind his chair until the Queen enters on the arm of one of her sons or sons-in-law. or. in their absence, on the arm of a maid of honor. She is always dressed in black or gray. If in black she wears white gloves; if in gray, black gloves. She carries an ebony gold-headed cane. Usually two East Indian servants in brilliant costume follow her and wait upon her at the table. Before her Majesty takes her seat one of the court chaplains says grace. She never sits with her guests, hut has a small round table at the end of the loom near the door, and seldom has more than one companion, who may he one of her daughters or the senior maid of honor or lady in waiting. This is due to her Majesty’s feeble health. She cannot sit through a long dinner and quietly slips out. before the guests arc half finished. Nor does she take the food that is served to them. A few plain and simple dishes arc provided for her rejKtst—soup, fish, mast beef or mutton, with a salad, and sweets. She drinks no wine, but takes a littl** Scotch whisky in apoilinaris water. At ;ne main table a long French dinner is served of ten or twelve courses. There is a waiter for every two persons, and they move with military precision. Their livery is a scarlet dress coat with brass buttons, trimmed with gold lace, blue velvet short trousers, with gold braid along the seams, white silk stockings and patent-leather shoes with gold buckles. The guests are in court dress, and the gowns of the ladles must be cut in a certain way. American gentlemen and other commoners must wear

black swallow-tail coats, w'hlte silk low-cut vests, knee breeches, black silk stockings and patent-leather pumps. The table service is gold plate purchased by George IV at a cost of several millions of dollars. It is large enough to dine 120 persons, but more than forty are seldom invited. It is said that the gold and silver plate in Windsor Castle is worth at least $10,000,000. Great chests of It are never used. This belongs to the government. The furinshings at Balmoral arid Osborne palaces belong to the Queen’s private estate. Among the decorutions that invariably appear upon the table at state dinners are two immense flagons of gold, set with, precious stones that were captured from, the Spanish armada at the time of Queer* Elizabeth, and a famous wine cooler that was presented to George IV, and is said to have cost 135,009, often occupies the center of the table. A peacock made of gold and precious stones is a favorite of the Queen. It was made in India and presented her on the occasion of her fiftieth anni-' versary. Another of her favorite ornaments is a tiger’s head of gold wdth immense rubies for eves and diamonds forteeth. It also came from India, and wa* a jubilee gift. If her Majesty is feeling well the guest** find her in the drawing room when they retire from the table, and there is usually*! a programme of music for their entertainment, which she thoroughly enjoys. Sometimes she. asks a guest to sit by her side, and I know a pretty American girl whose hand she held in her own in an affectionate way for half an hour one evening, and whom she kissed on both cheeks as she retired at the close of the evening. "I hope to se you again, my dear.” suid the -Queen of Flngland and Empress of India. ”J shall send for you to sjtend a day with me very soon, and want you all to myself,” and sure enough she did. and the young Yankee damsel was not only with the Queen all day. hut drove with her in the park and slept that night In a room adjoining the imperial bedchamber. When the Queen retires the party breaks up. Th* ladies may sit and gossip, but the gentlemen hurry off to the smoking room and are allowed to play billiards and drink her Majesty’s brandy and soda if they are so inclined. WON'T VOTE FOR EACH OTHER. Women Do Not Support Female lnn did.otcm in ( tah. Washington Post. “The result of the late elections in Salt Lake City proved one thing very clearly, which was that any woman candidate for office cannot count on receiving the vot* ot her own sex.” said Mr. W. C. Orrln, of Utah, to a Post reporter at the Raleigh. "There were three ladies contesting for office— one a candidate for recorder and the other two for auditor. Had the women, voters given their sisters anything like the support anticipated two of the three would have been elected to important municipal offices, for which all three were highly competent. “Miss Sprague was the nominee, of the Citizens’ ticket for city recorder. This ticket had the powerful backing of the Mormon Church; the young lady enjoyed extensive popularity; she was supported Ivy nearly every lawyer in town on aecoiirUKo#" her excellent record as an assistant ijn the office of the clerk of the District Court and the general belief was that she Voulii run ahead of her ticket. The outcomJt was a. great surprise to the lady and her frjlends for. although the candidate for mp.yor ori the Citizens’ ticket was elected.. Mis* Sprague was badly beaten. She ran far behind both of her male opponents, receiving in round figures 1,300 less votes than tlio Republicans, ami 1,500 less than the Democrat. who was elected. “Os the other lady nominees. Mi s. jj® Barthe, the Democratic candidate for auditor, has been a member of the State Senate. and had a wide knowledge of publio affairs. The general opinion was that she would win. Mrs. Bradley, the Republican candidate, was favorably known, and she had excellent qualifications for the office. It should be said. also, that their mal* competitor. George Swan, the candidate of the Citizens' party, was at the time filling the office, und had served to the satisfaction of the public. Well. Swan distanced Ms fair rivals completely, (he magnitude of his victory amazing the entire community. Mrs. Bradley was at the very bottom of tlie list on the Republican ticket, while Mrs. l.a Barthe ran StK) below the highest candidate on her side. “The effect will be to discourage women from rurtilng for office in Utah hereafter, ami parties will not nominate them for positions unless there is an understanding that every ticket in the field shall present a woman candidate for the same office. No party can afford to put up a woman against a man when in the light of past experience it means a loss to the ticket of from 500 to 1,000 votes, no matter how superior the woman may be in point of fltneas.”
