CHICAGO, December f.. There was a break m prices on the Roard of Trade to day. It started abont 10 o'clock. Mav corn, which had sold up to l &. dropped to Mc. May wheat, whicn touched hlgn at K3'4c, dropped lo MSc, and May pork, which sold uo to f 15 70, went back to Ili'-.J-i, all before 10:30. It was attributed to the heavy selling of yesterday. May wheat did not go below MSc. and the reaction from the break carried it bck to 86c. It wax (obnd that there were a good many baying orders around this figure, and it held pretty cloe toscfor some time. Trading was rather cautious after the break, and the aggregate from 10:30 to the close of the session waa not as large as for the first hour. May was steady at Mc. Corn sales were very lew at 54 for May, and tals proved to be its bo. tum price. There was enough dextand tor the stuff at 55c to keep it pretty nloe arour d that figure for practically the balance ol the session. Provisions iurnlahed a very uncertain field for the speculator. May pork went down to 116 35 before the break was checked. From this figure it advanced to t:S 60, and 'at 12.30 was back totl5 47 The January option followed Uie same aeneral course as May, and tha same was true of lard and ribs.

THE NATIONAL, BANKS.

Annual Report of tha Comptroller of Cur. rtn j an-l bia Recommendations, "Washixgton, December 1. The twentyfifth annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency, tow in mint, will be presented tO Congress on the first day of its session. The report shows that the total cumber of national banks organized up to October öl is 3,b0r, of which 125 have pone into voluntary liquidation, 119 have failed, leaving in operation at that date 3.CC1. Of this number :;.0irJ furnished retorts of a condition at the date of last call, October 5, of which a complete abstract has been published. The total number of new banks formed daring the last year is 225; the total number closed daring the year is 33, of which 25 went into voluntary liquidation and eight failed. The new banks comprise five in New England, thirty-three in ihe Middle States, fifty in tbe Southern States, 107 in the Central States and thirty in the Western States and Territories. Of the tailed banks one was in New England, two in the Miidle States, four in the Southern States, and one in the Central States. The gross increase In National Bank capital during the year amounts to $ )'!,- py4,775, of which $3,,1GH00.3 represents an i ccreai e of capital by banks existing November 1, lSG. There has been, however, a decrease of capital of $s .'122,4.50, of which $4,C.s7,450 is tne aggregate capital of the thirty-theee banks which went into voluntary liquidation and failed, and the remaincer represents a decrease of capital by banks still in operat.'on. The net inC fSM of capital for tbe year is, therefore $30,572. :;25. On the other hand, there is a net decrease of $50,49.3,5110 in the circulation represented bv bonds. The decrease resulting from the snrrender of circulation by banks still in operation is $57,770,475, acd the decrease caused by banks going into voluntary liquidation and failing la $1 274 :.80, making a grosa decrease of $5D,044. 855, offset by a total increase of $S,54'J 2t.", which consists of an increyse by the formation of new banks of $l ö'jJ.OW, an increase of circalaticu by previous existing banks to the amount of $3,;)57,17". The aCairs of rive failed banks have been closed daring the year, including among them one of those which tailed during the year. In four casps out of the five the creditors have received payment of principal and interest in full, and there has been a balance of assets transferred to an agent of the stockholders in the other case, that of a bank which failed in 1SV0, the total dividends amount to bl per cent. In each case a detailed account is given of the cause of failnre and the progress made in liquidation. The total smiant of money paid in dividends during the past year is $2.1CG203 41; the whole amoaot paid to creditors of insolvent banks since the system has been in operation is $2,,441,10 upon proved claims amounting to $1J 9:J8,3S; the total assessments on stockholders, $9,915,200, nf which gross callectk ns have been $4 032 5JU. Vet y full statistics have been collected about tbe State banks, aavin banks, loan ard trust companies, and private banks aid barkers throughout the cour tr. The kogestions made by the Comptroller as to amendment to the laws in tbe form of a code cf revising and consolidating all existing laws, with anumber of cbanges, each of which is folly explained and tbe reasons for it, are set forth at considerable length. The most important of- the changes recommended is tbat the minimum amount of bonds to be deposited as security for tie circulation shall be 10 per cent, of the capital of banks of not over $250,000, and ?25,000 for banks of which the capital exceeds $250,000 ; also that the semi-annual duty on circulation ba hereafter charged only on the (.mount issued upon bonds deposited in excess of tue micmum amount as above. He also recommends tbat the National bank notes be counted as a part of the lawful reserve of banks. The existing provision of the law, as to tbe responsibility of officers and directors of banks, are moditied so as to avoid heretofore existing obstacles to their prompt and certain enforcement. The restriction upon banks as to making loans in excess of 10 per cent of capital to any one party is modified In respect to loans upon collateral eecurity, and the total limit ia raised to 20 per cent, of capital and surplus. The provisions as to reserve upou deposits are modified no as rot to include Government deposits in the amount upon which reserve is to be held. The provision as to State taxation of National banks is aisn modified. The proposed code has been transmitted to every Senator and Representative, with a codification of all existing laws on the suhjct arranged in sections palallel with those of the proposed code, and accompanied by a letter explaining each of the more important changes and the reason Uer for. PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS. Some Cunt lets w ho Jot Them and Others who did not Pension Fraud. "Washington. December .1 The Presi dent has granted the applications for parden in the following cases: Frank: Philips, convicted of counterfeiting and sentenced in November, lfj. to lour year in the Michigan House of Correction; Columbus Houcbln, convicted of parting counterfeit money and sentenced in Dacember, is-"., to seven years imprisonment in the Indiana State Prison; Roger Clawson, convicted of polygamy and unlawful cohabitation and sentenced in November. lHsi, to three years and Bix months imprisonment in the the Utah Penitentiary and to pay a fine of $S00. Pardons were granted in most of the cases on the recommendations of the Judges and District Attorneys. The President has denied the applications for pardon ia the following cases: Caroline Becker, convicted of presenting a fraudulent claim against the' Government in Ohio. Dixie Colbert, convicted in Arkansas of assault with intent to kill, and Frank Llbbey, convicted in Vermont of making a false affidavit in a pension claim. In denying tbe last application the President says: "There is rot a particle of dorbt as to this convict's guilt, and that be added tbe crime of perj ury to the no less atrocious crime of presenting false affidavits for the purpose of procutlng a pension. I cannot look with any degree of charity upon auch eQorts to desecrate a sacred bounty of the Government, founded in tbat patriotic spirit of gratitude to deserving soldiers, and I am surprised that so many respectable cltiens should be found who are willing our pension laws should be violated and prostituted without just punishment." An Annrehit's Wall. Ciiuaco, December 3. Dyer D. Lum, successor of the executed Anarchist Parsons, will make a statement in his paper to-morrow regarding rowderly'a denunciation of tbe resolution asking clemency for the condemned Anarchists, introduced at tbe Minneapolls Convention. Lum says the action of the convention on that resolution was notice to the publlo that the Knights repudiated their brother (Parsons) in hia distress, and tbe manner in which the poisoned dagger was placed In tbe Gen eral Master Workman's bands deserves some attention." Before the Haymarket riot there were two branches of "Tbe International" in the country: The I. W. A., a secret oath-boand organization, and the I. W. P. A., consisting of open clubs. The executed men, he says belonged to the latter. There was open hostility between the leaders of the two organizaticns.and one of the members Of I, W. A., named Stewart, who in edited a labor journal in Chicago, found means to gratify his private spleen by compiling a long and sensational statement based upon the oatha, rituals and secret circulars of the oaga.nliaUon pf

which be was a member. This statement was artfully contrived and waa understood to represent tbe inner workings of the organization to which the executed men belonged. This, says Lnm, waa republished about a month before the General Assembly met, and was read by Powderly in the convention. Lnm does not question Powderly's honest belief in the matter, but denounces the "man who placed the poisoned dagger in hia hands to stab Parsons." WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW, What K. G. Dun & Co. Have to gay of the Fast Week's Business. New York, December 3. R. G. Dan fc Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: Speculative booming and commercial embarrassments, anxieties abroad and uncertainties connected with the meeting of Congress, have made up the week. In nearly all the speculative markets there is furious excitement, corners abound, and a-tificial advances are forced by powerful cliques, aided by abundance of money. But prices check legitimate business, industries are hesitating, and monetary stringency at many points results in alow collections, and some important failures. At Denver collections are fair, and money in increased and sharp demand ; at Kansas City collections are dull and money close; at St. Paul collections are fairly satisfactory, and at Omaha fair, with money easier; at Milwaukee the demand is urgent, the market atricgent, and collections somewhat backward ; at Chicago speculative demands are increasing, and meanwhile calls from the country do not abate; at Detroit business ia somewhat quiet and the grain trade requiring less than usual, but though money ia easier, the rates are 7 to 8 per cent.; at Cincinnati banks have no money for outsiders. and the market ia close at G to 7; at Cleveland deposits improve but money is still close; at Philadelphia collections are somewhat slow, heavy blocks of caper await Bales, and considerable New York paper is Oeing ofierea; at Boston Western paper ia offered at 7 per cent., some of it indorsed by banks, while the home demand is large. The dry goods trade is moderate, as usual, for the season, without improvement in woolens; considerable sales of cassimeres at prices only a little below last year are reported, and the overcoatings prices are considerably lower, but recent advances in cottons are sustained in sale--. The boot and shoe trade is in good siape, but leather is dull and hides depressed, In groceries there is a large volume of business, but speculation in coffee has driven oat buyers, so that quotations are entirely nominal, and the sntar trust has advanced the price of refined. Iron still hesitates, though best grades are scarce, and prices at Pittsburg tend lower for all grades except charcoal. In bar iron there is a perceptible shrinkage of demand; nails are dull and lower, and steel rail buyers hold oß. The halting in the market for securitfes continues, partly because of foreign sa'.es, parily the result of late disputes, and partly because late returns show nearly as large an increase in expenses as in earnings. Tte wheat market has risen two cenls and corn as much, with great excitement. il and cotton have been stronger and a boom in pork products lifted prices, but has met a reactloa. In ail directions speculation is marked by that excited activity which renders legitimate dealers cautious. The business failure during the last aven days number for the United States 215. and for Canada 29, or a total of 214. as compared with 207 last week, and 212 the corresponding week lastveai.

A Sad Caie, Jfffersonville, December 3. Mrs. Elizabeth Luther, aged fifty-eight years, and her nineteen-year old daughter, Lizzie Conrter, a most dejected looking couple, were quartered at tbe station house. Three weeks ago they started to walk from Cincinnati, their home, to Evansville, in search of Washington Sbaefer. a brother of Mrs. Luther. They had hardly reached tbe outskirts of Cincinnati before both became footsore, and the journey to JeSersonville was made under the most trying circumstances. When they commenced their long tramp their combined capital was $1. The girl, who stows signs of having been exceedingly good looking before Btarting on the long journey, had with her three suits of nice clothing and a silk circular. These were all sold at different places to purchase necessary food to keep them alive. Mother and daughter now have little better clothing than rags. They are broken down in health, and the distance not yet half gone over. The relative in Evansville has not been heard of for over a year, and may possibly be dead. Last night Mrs. Luther stated that It she could find some place to stay until Bhe and her daughter could recuperate, they would retrace their steps. Counterfeiter Caught, Fan Fkan im:o, December .

When the pulse beats feebly: i hen the energy ia gone; when the appetite is weak and sleep uncertain, then the body is in a condition ol actual 'low life." No matter what the causes may have been. Nature has Riven way. and uales bcr strength is restored disease Is certain to take po--eRlon of the body. The llrst thing any doctor doe in suca a esse is to assist Nature. 11 ere are some Instances: Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevuc (New York) College, savs: "The judicious use of alcoholic stimulants Is one of tne striking characteristics of proaress in the practice of medicine during the last half century." The well known Prof. Jowph TarrUh says: " e know that alcohol will s toady Hks heart, slow the pulse, warm the skin, calm excitement and we ouKht to use it." IbeceleVuatcd Dr. I.M. Carnwall says: "I am most happy to say, after a very thorough, test, that for persons suflerlng with nervous and general debility or any wasting disease, or for delicate persons or invalids, Duffy's I'uro Ma't Whisky is the best tonic and purest stimulan i with w hich I am acquainted." There are no higher sclentincauthorltles than thrse. and they aoeak volumes for this pore aud valuable wh laity, which has become so wonderfully popular. Beware of all bottled whiskies which ray be offered you, except DuOy'a. It has stod the teat of years, and is absolutely pure.

wm THEY ME ÜT PU

; The absolute purity of the Jtoyal Baking Powder is a fact not questioned ly anyone; but the questions are frequently -.islced: "Why do not other manufacturers, also, i t;t up pure baking powders, free from lime, alum, and other adulterants? Is it a fact that the Royal is the only pure baking powder made? There arc three classes of these articles: Cream of tartar baking powders, made from cream of tartar and bi-earbonalo of soda; phosphate baking junvders, in which phosphatic a; id is nsed as a substitute for cream of tartar; ami alum Vr.kin" powders, made from burnt alum and soda. Burnt alum liaking powders are of the cheapest ck.-s. They cost less than four cents a pound, are concededly poisonous, and because of their well-known inferiority are never sold under their true colors. Baking powders sold with a prize or gift are of this class. The phosphate baking powders contain from S to 12 per cent, of lime, which is an ingredient of the phosphate ns(.l ia them as a substitute for cream of tartar. It is impossible to eradicate the lime from this class of powders. This baking powder is next to the alum baking powders in cost. The cream of tartar baking powders, to which class tbe Iioyal belongs, to be pure niu.st be made from absolutely puro cream of tartar. The Ii yal Baking Powder i made from cream of tartar specially refined and prepared for iis use by uitent processes by which the tartrate " of limo' is totally eliminated. There is no other process by which cieam ef tartar can be freed from lime made 100 per cent. .i;re in quantities practienl for commercial purposes. Other baking powder makers, not being able to obtain' these chemically pure goods (which are used exclusively in the Iioyal) are dependent upon the cream of tartar of the market, refined by the old-fashioned methods, for their supply, and by those methods it is impossible to eliminate the lime and other impurities. These are the reasons why the Iioyal is absolutely pure, while all oilier baking powders contain either lime or alum. The vital importance of absolute purity in the artiiles we eat as promotive of perfect health is daily more generally beimj c:iidred. How large a share in producing impure and DiV. li'il ' '..! : 'ood the lime and alum baking powders have had in the. past, is becoming fully recognized. The ale;. lute parity of the Iioyal Baking Powdi r not only ii :;d. : il umre perfectly wholesome, but its freedom ll'olll all et:..:.t .i; ; ;d.'i;.i.ces makes ii Af higher strength and efä-cliv i ;:ess us a leavening agent, and therefore more economic e.d for u-e.
