CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET CHARACTERIZED EI IIVEWXBADING. ..-

-The Price Rose and Fell For An Honr In Mighty Swells Due to Exciting •.:." War News.

Chicago, January 7.—There was heavier trading in the grain markets today than for some time past, and fluctuations were rapid. The sombre foreign outlook at first exercised a powerful influence but as later news was more pacific the markets yielded to ordinary influences and eased off. Wheat opened irregularly at 61@60%c, sold to 61 %c and closed at 60%@60^4c, a. loss of %c compared wiltih last nlgbt. Corn held its strength better and closed }4c higher at 29vsc, while oats losit its early gain and closed unchanged ait 19%c. Provisions made substantial gains. Pork shows £ya advance of 27%c, lard &> and ribs 12bic.'&^

Wheat opened strong, but very'irregular and under some .excitement. The first transactions in May were made over a range of %c per bushel or at from 60%c up to 6lJ/fec. Only tivo trade® were effected .at the top arid bottom prices, the bulk of the transactions during the first few seconds having been at 60%c. The price rose and fell for an 'hour In mighty swells of active trading, being' between 60%c and 51c, but after the first fifteen minutes of the session the tendency for the remainder of the hour was generally downward The epeit-ing-strength was the expression of doubt in the mmds of the" oper^Lfcors regarding^ the possibility of an Anglo-German war.

After the opening struggle arotind 60%c and 51c there wa® a gradual decline to G0%c

{UiU VAV vuvi rtwa b'ww ., ajid tiiait was followed by & recovery 'n61c again, due to a report issued by Thoman, which gave the condition of the winter wheat planit in the six states which grow it mostt largely at 78.1 against S1.4 on •December 1st, and adding that 78.1 is the lowest status of the plant ever recorded in the month of January.

But the upwaird movement roused some of the big shorts to. make a hot fight against the advance and a great volume or long wlheait come upon the market and the advance was checked. The news, too, turned less bullish consols recovered all the early decline, and the latter cables quoted wfheait lower and the Argentine advices reported clearing weather and said that Argentine whteait was offered in- London to arrive ait lower prices. With this, the markelt iheire soon became heavy and many of the early buyers began to sell out and it did not take long for the pr'cs to go off lc from the top and %c below the •close last' night.

The market was quiet but steady during the last hour. May holding 60%c to 60%c, but without muclh business and closed at 60%«?60y4c.

Corn opened strong under the continuation of the warlike situation in Europe. It acted very nervously for about two hours and fluctuated rather wildly. May, which closed yesterday at 2S%c, started at from 29c up to 29%c and rose excitedly to 29%c. The bulk of tlhe selling after 12 O'clock was at from 291,4c to 29^4@29%c, and It closed at 29ffi@291/4c.

Oats were strong in sympathy with the better feeldng in corn, but most of the day better feeling in corn, but most of the early gain was lost. May sold from 20c.to 1 20%c, and off to 19%@19%c split, closing at those figures. Provisions started firm and maintained that condition all day. The same influences which had started wheat

and corn wore at work in'the hog products market. The offerings of products were light. The day's advance in pork was 25® 27%c.

STOCKS, MONEY AND BONDS.

Wall Street Speculation Cut Loose From Foreign Influences. New York, January 8.—The local stock market today cut loose from the foreign influences that have recently affected it. *i The speculation was decidedly less feverish than heretofore and the volume of business showed diminished activity by the bear leaders.

The Wome market was strengthened by 1 the absence of applications for clearing I house loan certificates by the banks and i) an easy condition of the call money raarket. Prices moved sh'arply upward right •i from the tap of tihe bell, with the appre3 cdation most marked in the grangers, L. and N. and the high priced industrials, and later in the session, the upward tendency 111 values received additional impetus by sharp advances in t)he anthracite coalers. The improvement in this group was inspired by the formal announcement S that the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. would maintain the 7 per cent annual rate

on the stock in the current year. 1 he stock rose an extreme 3 per cent. It had been alleged the company referred to in common with the other coalers would cn account of the poor condition of the anrt tracite industry last year fall severely below the normal dividend amount. Sugar

LAFATETTE, IKD., May 2,1894.

Isjon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.:

GEKTLEMEN—It is with pleasure tBat I can conscientiously say a good word for LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. For morethnna year I was troubled with indigestion and stomach disorders. Various remedies which I tried gave me 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 cured me. To those who suffer as I did I would strongly advise them to useFRIFYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. ?v

Yours truly, JOHN R. SPSNCKR, State Agent Royal Baking Powder Company.
