WHEAT RULED WEAK.

SHALL VISIBLE DECREASE AND CROP REPORT CAUSED THE WEAKNESS.

ritish Cables Quoting Breadstuffa Higher Show That Political Matters Abroad Are'Unsettled.

Chicago, Jail. 6.—Wheat ruled weak.all lay, the visible decrease and the government crop report being powerful bearish factors and pounding -the oereal down nearly 1 cent from Saturday's close.

Corn and oats were both firm and Active early but eased off. while provisions opened strong and remained- so, making material gains.

The wheat market made a weak start, •owing mainly to the report of government ,'Tshowing 'the wtieat crop to be 467,000,000 "bushel, or much more than generally expected. This caused pretty free selling by holders and during tihe first hour the price went off cent from Saturdays close. But the English cables quoted bieadstuffs higher and consols lower, leading to 'the oonculsion that political matters abroad. were still unsettled the tact that the new loan was advertised for was also some assurance that financial matters were getting into better shape. There was also a generail helief that the visible -would show a large decrease and the amount on ocean passage was 640,000 bushel less than a week ago.

Several large operators began to show a leaning to the bull side and when this --.twas discovered the crowd also, turned in '!-that direction and the price was quickly 'advanced %c from the low point. But there was liberal selling at the advance and the price started off some and when it became known that the decrease In the-Visible was onlv 116,000 bushel Instead of 800,000 to 1,000,000 as expected, the market became very heavy, and before noon had gone off fully %c. May sold from 59%c early to 59%c, up to 60VgC, then down to 59%#i9%e split. Thie market continued to weaken during the last hour and May sold off to 59c, or lc below the close Saturday. There was seme reaction 'but it was not import-. ant, May dosing at 59@59%c.

Corn was strong, helped largely by the fact that the government report of the crop was smaller than iNjd. been generallyexpected and there was not much disposition to sell short, while the covering was more active thian for some time. May sold earlv at 28%c, gradually advanced to 2S%c, but'eased off to 2S%c. The market got quite weak during the last hour and May sold off to 284®)28%c split and made practically no recovery.

In oats, shorts were buying freely. The government report of the total crop of oats for the year was 824,444,000 bushel. The general estimate was for about 900,000,000 to 925,000,000 bushel and firmness resuited. May opened from 19% to 19^4c, sold up 'to 1914c, back to 19%c and closed at 19^4@19%c. Saturday's final quotations .was .19%c.

The provision market was active and

1"~"strong

and wound up at about the best

prices of the day. Hog receipts decidedly below the estimate and firm cables were the factors. Trade was more active than for many a day and the following additions were made to Saturday's closing prices: January pork 35c May 32% January lard 10 May 7% January ribs 15 and May ribs 12%c.

STOCKS, MONEY AND BONDS.

New 'Bond Issue, So Suddenly Announced, Has a Depressing Effect, "New Jork, Jan. 6.—The stock ifiti-ket today was dominated by a variety of conclusions and conjectures over the action of the administration in. resorting to a popular loan as a measure of relief to the treasury department. Wall street, almost to a man, had regarded an arrangement with Mr. Morgan and b!s associates as a foregone conclusion and official intelligence from Washington giving the loan to the syndicate was considered to be merely a. Question of a day or two at the furthest. The notuq.1 developments so suddenly announced had a decidedly unsettling effect, and the unfavorable influence was lent force by special considerations bearing upon various stocks.

HE WAS MQNTE CRISTO

MEIGGS' METEORIC CAREER IN CALX rOKNIA, CHILI AND PERU.

Absconding Sao Francisco Treiisorer Made

Millions—BoUt the Great Ballroads of Soath America.

The strange and eventful career of Hefa ry Meiggs fn tiie Pacific slope of South America raids like a tale from "The Arabian Niglr«s, '. and as an exhibttion «f what Yankee brains and energy can accomplish it is unparalleled, says the Argonaut.v' .5/

Wh2 has "rtot heard of him?—that versatile adventurer, the associate of Ralston, the California banker, the bosom friend of Sharon, Mackay, O'Briein, Bald win, and one of the princes of the golden era of '49. He was born In Oatskill, N. Y, in 1811, and amassed a fortune in the lumber trade before he was 27 years old. During the panic of 1837 he lost everything, but he recovered from bankruptcy wfthin two years. When gold was found at Sut er's Mill, in 1849, Meiggs joined the Argo nauts and sailed for California in a vessel loaded with lumber, wihich he sold in San Francisco for twenty times its cost. He built a wharf—long famtous as Meiggs' wharf—and a sawmill on the bay, and sent men in the woods to cut trees. His business prospered, and possessing a genial nature and a liberal disposition he soom won the friendship arid confidence of the people, and they made ihim treasurer of the city aaid county of San Francisco.

He was the custodian of many thousands of dollars, and in addition held the fortunes left by deceased persons pending the administration of their estates. Money flowed into the vaults freely, and he had such a. Strong hold upon the confidence of the people ttoalt he began to believe he had some sort of equity in the treasure. Friends who had assisted him to office solicited temporary "loans," which they never repaid. A craze for speculation ensued at this time, and Meiggs fell a victim. He looted itihe treasury and the money held in trust, and. When the financial crash of 1854 came, he was compelled to fiee the city. He bought a small schooner, and, with his wife, departed secretly by sea.

Went Into Railroading.

it was a long time before his victims heard of him, and then the report came tha:t he was engaged in extensive railroad building In Chili. The people in Chili rather distrusted him, but he was soon upon his feet. His genius round an opportunity. Having nio experience in railroad construction—he, nevertheless, turned his attention to that business. The Chilians were anxious to have a railroad from the seaport of Valparaiso to Santiago, the capital, and Meiggs promptly undertook It. Previously an English company had built the road from tihe coast to the foot of the great Andean range which lies -bebetween the two cities. This was half way and was the easiest part to build. The lofty mountains discouraged the English, and they threw up the contract. To finish the road was a stupendous piece of engineering, and nothing similar had ever before been attempted in South America. The chief feature of the contract was a question of time. Meiggs agreed to perform the work within a given time, stipulating, however, that if he made shorter work of it he"was to receive an enormous bonus for every day saved. There was a small fortune in each day, but it appeared to the Chilians such an impossible task that the government did hot hesitate to accept Meiggs' terms. He made over $1,000,000 out of it. He demonstrated to the conceited Chilians what a Yankee ould do in the way of railroad construc-

Splurge In SocietyfP*

After this Meiggs made mffiey rapidly in various enterprises, for nothing succeeds like success. He erected in the suburbs of Santiago a magnificent home—a structure of rare btauty and a conspicuous example" of extravagance—costing over $1,000,000, every timber and brick and tile being imported, the marble staircase alone costirtg $40,000. He,then began a career of social splendor that dazzled the natives^ Some time after the death of his wife Meigg® married again, and the manner in which he secured his second wife is to this day related with great relish by the gossips of Chili.

In Chili mantas and skirts of white flannel are worn by oenitenrtas—women who have grievously sinned and thus advertise their penitence. They haunt the churches and kneel for hiours before the Images of saints. In the large cathedrals, as in the smaller churdhes, these white figures are visible, kneeling, crouching, motionless, looking like statues. Ladles of high rank are to be seen among the penitentas, as well as beautiful girls of lower station. It is strange to learn that this method of securing absolution is very fashionable, and when the gayety of the summer season is-over and at the beginning of Lent the ranks of the penitentas are full. Souls that cannot be cleansed by this course retire to a convent south Of Santiago, called the Convent of 'the Penitents, when they scourge themselves with whips, wear sack cloth, sleep in ashes" and live upon water and crusts until the priests give them absolution. Within the walls of this convent was a fair senordta, of w*hom Meiggs became enamored and, with the help of an American dentist, he began a courtsihip romantic beyond the imaginings of a Bocaccio. For it involved notes tied to stones and thrown over the walls, impromptu scenes from "Romeo and Juliet," a rope ladder, excited nuns, angry parents and a scandalized church. But it all ended happily, however, in parental forgiveness and a fashionable wedding. Meiggs' extravagance now made him run short of money and to replenish his purse he put up his palace as a lottery prize, enlisting the aid of an English adventurer. The lottery was a fraud and so many Chilians were victimized that Meiggs speedily lost caste in Chili.

Again falling in debt, he next looked to Peru as a new field to conquer. He had to borrow a thousand dollars to defray the expense of a journey there, but his reputation had gone before him, and the Peruvians gave him valuable railroad contracts. In Peru, and in fact along the whole west coast of South America, the cloud piercing Andean cordlllera stretches from the north to the south, holding in its embrace many valleys of surpassing richness, while 'here and there are narrow plains of greater or less fertility. Throughout Peru, Bolivia and Chili, however, Meiggs'^ enterprises eventually extended, affording the mines In the mourn tains, the estates and sugar haciendas in the valleys, and the nitrate beds in the province of Iquiqui easy egress to the markets of the world.

The mosfc n-otable contract secured by Meiggs was the Oroyo road, which, is classed as-the eighth wonder of the world there is nothing in America or Europe that compares with it in scenic grandeur or as an example of engineering science. But beautiful scenery or engineering skill alone cannot make a railroad pay, especially tf it goes nowhere. The money gave out when it reached the town of Chicla, nestling in the heart of the Andes, just 100 miles from its first goal." To connect th« capital, Lima, with the silver mines of Cerro del Pasco, and thence to the head of the Amazon river navigation, and so on to the Atlantic, had long been the dream of Peruvian statesmen. The ideal was a$ grand as its consummation &,pp6Ml6d visionary and impossible. With his usual energy, however, Meiggs at once took hold of the work, and in 1870 the railroad was begun.

AU day Saturday and yesterday the assignee's sale at Strouse's Bazat&r was crowded with buyers eager to 'take advantage of tihe mainy Induceanemts afforded by ithe low prices &t which these goods are- selling. Yesfterday mtwnAnig the proprietors were «oanpelled to ok»e the doors ti31 9 o'clock to order to in some manner rearrange and get in order the goods whtteh 'had become 8o disordered during- Saturday's rush.

Gentlemen—It is with pleasure that I can conscientiously say a good word for LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. For more th:m a year I was troubled with indigestion and stomach disorders. Various remedies which I tried gave rnd' no relief, until- one day last summer I was told by a brother drummer of the virtues of LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I concluded to try it, and am happy to say one box, costing only one dollar, entirely cur 2d ma To those who suffer as I did I would strongly advise them to use LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS.

Yours truly, John R. Spsnckb, State Agent Royal Baking Powder Company.
