WHEAT TAKES SWING ON CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. 28. Wheat swung downward in value today chiefly owing to sympathy with decline in the New York stock market. There were also authoritative assertions that estimates of very large export business had been exaggerated. On the other hand, foreign demand appeared to be contlnuing and it was said that country elevation stocks in the Northwest were only one quarter of last year's total at this time. Opening prices, which ranged from to 2 lower with May at $1.71 to 1.72 and July at $1.40 were followed by a moderate rally but then a fresh decline. Lack of buying power was evident In the corn crowd. Pit speculators dominated the market and leaned to the selling side. After opening to lower, prices recovered somewhat and then again sagged. Oate merely reflected the course of other cereals. Changes in quotations, though, were within narrower limits. Liquidating sales by scattered boldersweakened provisions. The only support was from shorts. LIVE STOCK Chicago CHICAGO. 111..

AL WHITE Continued From Fags One. discharge and Rep. Gray is using all his influence in behalf of his prospective appointee to West Point. Enllats With Eaton Company. White enlisted with an Eaton, O., company last spring when a war with Mexico was threatened. Later he failed to take the federal oath when his regiment was sworn into Uncle Sam's service. For several weeks he remained at the guard camp near Columbus but received no pay and was not recognized as a member of the regiment. Later White returned to Richmond and after his regiment had been sent to Texas his captain wrote to Chief Goodwin ordering White's arrest as a deserter. The order was complied with and Chief Goodwin wrote to Columbus barracks authorities for instructions. Tbey referred the chief to the Ohio guard authorities who in turn referred the chief to the general commanding the central military department at Chicago. . The central department reported they had no record of White's case and ordered his release. Later the central department ordered White's arrest and he was sent to Columbus where he is still waiting for the government to decide whether he is a soldier or a civilian. A Richmond friend has just received the following letter from White: White Writes to Friend. Dear Friend: I have had no opportunity to write before, and I have to smuggle this out. I have been expecting to have my court martial soon, but if I have to wait for that, it won't do me much good to get out. My mother has sent a petition siened by several Richmond men, to the war department. That is my only hope now, for the secretary of war or the President are the only ones who can free me without a court martial. I am innocent of t.hi3 charge and I am prepared to prove it: but at any rate, here I am In a cell like a criminal", from the fact that Captain Overholser could not bluff me and, seeing his opportunity for retaliation, seized upon it. This is justice, blinded, with her scales jimmied! If Secretary Baker releases me. I will be home scon. I have simply got to get out soon so that I can graduate this year. There is sure a crew of bums in this guard house. I would be the happiest boy in the world if I could be home by New Years. Give my regards, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all. !
