DAY IN WHEAT.

1 ONB CSNT LOSS OF SATURDAY'S GAIN.

Wheat Influenced By the Northwest Bank Failures—Corn and Oats Market.

Chicago, Jan. 4.—Wheat today lost nearly I cent of the l%o it gained Saturday, chiefly on account of the general taking of profits which -were sufficiently, enticing at the opening advance. The Northwest bank failures were also influential to a degree. Other markets -were more or leas affected, corn declining about %c, oats %c and provisions 2^i to UVic.

Liverpool was a decided factor in wheat at the opening. Opening quotations in that market were all the way from Id to l%d higher. At the same time it was known that the amount of wheat on ocean passage had decreased very heavily and that the world's shipments to Europe last week were small, ifoerbohm's called the decrease on passage 8,116,000 bushels, and the total amount put afloat for the week 4,960,000 bushels. With that to start with, wheat, which closed Saturday at 84%o, opened with buyfers at abywhere from 85 to S5%c, end S5&c the most general price.

There was an abundance for sale at those prices by people whose previous purchases showed a Handsome profit, considering the heaviness of the quantities, some of them dealt lu, and had on hand, the result being a gradual but almost steady decline, until the price of May was down to S4&c about 11:80 6'clook. Some of this selling was influenced by signal servloe reports of snttw in the winter wheat district, allaying greatly the fears Of damage to that crop from freezing after the Mttlost unprecedented mild weather. Chicago reeslpts were sixty-five Cars, Minneapolis and Suluth got only 301 cars against 648 last year. The world's shipments last week were finally reported at 6.204.C00 bushels, against 3,784,000 bushels the we«k 'before, and 6,6£i,00o last year, SThe visible supply showed an increase of tpMlOd bushels Instead of a decrease of about trat mush.

Closing cables were very firm, with Liverpool at a total gain of Ud since it closed Thursday last! London 6d per quarter higher and Berlin 1% marks higher. The market here, however, was kept down by steady selling out of long wheat, a great deal of which during the last hour was caused by several bank failures in the Northwest. The price of May finally got down to 88%c and closed easy at 83%3«4o.

Corn opened a shade better, in sympathy with wheat, but turned weak as leading cereals declined. Trade was light. May opened a jhafle higher at 85%@26c and declined to 25%c, where it doeea.

Liquidation was the order of the day in oats. •The market opened steady but weakened later In sympathy with wliea-t, and on the decline several good sized lines were disposed of. The Visible showed an increase of 618.000, which bad some effect. May opened a shade higher at 19%@10%c, sold down to 19%o and closed at 10%c sellers.

Provisions were rather tame and appeared to be much influenced by wheat. The opening was at some little, advance because Of the disappointment in the number of hogs rereived. The market lost the firmness as wheat Wan its decline. Packers were moderate Betters and some long pork and ribs were likewise said to have come on the market in email iots. At the close May pork was 12%c lower at $7.80: May lard 2%c lower at $3.97^ May ribs about 5c lower at $3.97*4.

Reading was conspicuous in the reactionary movement, despite the decision of the attorney general of Pennsylvania, affirming the validity of the oompany's charter. General Eleotric was also influenced by profit taking and declined 1%. The large security holders in the leading shares continue to augur hopefully of the immediate'future of the market, the exceptionally large accumulations of funds, expectations of reviving general business and the easy tendency of money abroad. The bears lay stress upon the absence of outside interest, the bank failures and dullness of general trade. The closing was dull and weak at Important fractional net losses in many shares.

The railway and miscellaneous bond market showed a decided tendency toward a higher level on investment purchases. The large sums of money disbursed for Interest and dividends are finding employment in the high grade issues, resulting in material improvements. The sales Were $1,279,000.

New York, Jan. 4.—The stocK market today Was dull and irregular with a lower tendency,- The forenoon trading was narrow, although the grangers were a trifle less sluggish than the general list. Lower London prices and foreign sales stimulated bear aggression but the market received effective support at intervals, and covering was quite apparent in some of the specialties. Around 1 o'clock the market sold off 6harply on the announcement of the St. Paul Bank failures. Although the news of the suspension was attended by statements of belief that the troubles were merely Tocal, the effect, was to unsettle the confidence of conservative Interests. The bears were also helped by th prevailing uneasiness regarding possible congressional action on some important financial measures.

THE DEADLY FLOBEBT

The Clinton County Farmers lEteport That the Mild Weather Has Killed Their Wheat.

Goshen is getting good. Whether the improvement is due to the newness of the year, the war in Cuba, or the peculiar climatic conditions, is left in doubt, but certain it is that the police records will bear out the claim that there hbs been a gratifying decrease in the petty nfcisdemeanors which come up witih such peculiar fre? 4juency in the justice courts. Judge Young who is usually busy, has but one trifling Case pending. There is no doubt but that many men make good resolutions on January 1, which are not broken, for several weeks. The month of January is always considered an unprofitable one for the saloon keepers. There is a marked falling off in customers, but they all, or nearly all get back to old habits by February 1. The plain drunk cases do not appear during the first month of the new year and as a cofiX sequence the inferior courts suffer. In conversation with an old liquor dealer to-, day, he said the fellows who swear off cm' January 1 invariably make the best customers in February. When once habituated to the use of alcoholic stimulants the system demands about so much and what is denied it in January will assert itself a month later two fold. Cigar and tobacco dealers also feeel the weight of good intentions at this season of the year, but they do not reduce the number of employes on that account. When December rolls around again the year's consumption of tobacco shows no decrease, January is •good month after all.—Goshen Times.

Two lads, Mike Coleman, the son of John Coleman and Jess Leming, the son of Sheriff ieming, were shooting at a target at the home of Coleman Wednesday, which was placed on the coalhouse. One of the bullets from the flobert rifle went through a crevice in the coal house into the kitchen and etruch 12-year-o'ld Katie Coleman in the head, making a painful scalp wound, although not dangerous. Dr. Parr was called and removed the bullet which was imbeded in the skull. The accident caused considerable excitement, but there is not the least danger of a fatality. The shooting was purely accidental.—Washington Gazette.

The Clinton county farmers say that the mild weather has practically killed all of the wheat, many fields having a yello^r color like dead grass. The roots are said to have been killed by some kind of a peculiar worm. From the present outlo many fields will be ploughed up and planted in com.

To My Patrons and Friends: I take pleasure in announcing to my friends and patrons and the public generally that the law, real estate, house renting, Insurance and loaning business conducted by me for many years, will be put on a permanent basis on January 1, 1897, by being incorporated under the name I. H. C. Royse Company, with a capital of $10,000. As president of the company, I shall have general charge and direction of the business as heretofore, and shall always be glad to meet and serve my business friends at the old place, No. 517 Ohio street. Mr. Lucius Lybrand, late general manager of the Terre Haute Carriage and Buggy Company, will be vice president of the company and will give his entire time to the prosecution of the business in all lines where he can be most useful to our patrons, but more especially to the real estate and insurance department. Mr. W. P.^ Peyton, for eight years at the head of the "Bookkeeping department of Havens, Geddes Company, and for the past year in charge of my bookkeeping and cash department, will be secretary and treasurer and have general charge of the bookkeeping and cash department and office work. Mr. D. V. Miller, the popular young lawyer, as attorney of the company, will have charge of the law business.

My corps of assistants are most capable and efficient in their several departments and I am sure will give most faithful and conscientious attention to all business that may be entrusted to their care. Thanking my friends for their liberal patronage heretofore given me, and with increased facilities for the business and an earnest purpose to well serve at moderate charges all who favor us with a call, I confidently anticipate a continuance of the same friendiy relations with mutual benefit to our patrons and ourselves.

Very respectfully, I. II. C. Royse.
