THE WHEAT MARKET.

OHIOAGO FBICKS SUFFER A COKSID£BABIX DKCLINE.

Corn and Oats likewise We»k—ProvislonB Strong—The Financial Market.

Chicago, Jan. 1.—Wheat opened weak and averaged so during the session, closing with a decline of l%c. The feature was the weakness of the Liverpool market, which was a great surprise to speculators. Cforn and oats were likewise weak, declining %@%c respectively. Provisions were strong and made small advances. .'.

Wheat was struck on its most vulnerable point at the opening when the cables reported Liverpool from d. to %d. lower. Maywheat, which closed at 81 ^c Saturday, opened to-day at from 80%c to 80Jsc and in little more than half an hour, later it was down to 80c, which was the first rallying point for more than reaction. The effect of such unexpected weakness at Liverpool was all the wore depressing and the reason for it more Inexplicable because of the bullishness of everyuung relating to the statistical information conuected with the week's movement, The world's shipments last week were only a little over 4,500,000 bushels, or nearly 3,0ou,i)0u bushels unaer the weekly consumption ana 700,000 less than the week before. The receipts at Chicago were only twenty car-loads Minneapolis ana Duluth got 361 cars, compared with 30a a week ago and 924 on the similar wec» of the previous year. The exports from the Atlantic seaboard since Saturday's report were only 250,000 bushels in wheat and hour together. The visible supply about satlsiied expectations, showing a decrease of 779,00 bushels.

These favorable factors led to some increased buying and some revival of confidence but the rally was not very important. The absence of business from outside sources was as noticeable as for some time back, when the price of May first. touched 80 cents it was Drought about largely by the selling of people who had puts sold and on the other hand, the buying that caused the price to react to 80%c was in a great measure due to buying by those who had puts bought. There was a moderate demand in the pit for January wheat and It exceeded the offerings as may be concluded fcpiri the spread between January and May ^arrowing from 3 to 294c, although 80,000 bushels was about the total imount of transactions. After the first reaction from 80 to 80%c. May tumbled again to S0@80VfjC. It had another rally to 80^c and again a fresh fall to 80c from which last slump it only recovered ^4c, dosing at 80%c or l%c below Its resting price on Saturday.

Corn was again heavy because of the selling by Counselman & Co., Bartlett-Frazler and other receivers. Their selling was said to be due to the poor condition of corn in many places in the oountry. Sympathy With wheat always more or less influential in determin lng the course of the corn martott, was also a factor. May opened unchanged at 24%c and declined and closed at 24Uc.

Oats acted In concert following that market on a downward course and experiencing a very good business en route. A general description of the trading would satisfactorily be given under general scalping and there were some large lines changed. May opened a. shade lower at 18%@18%c, sold down to 18% @18%c and closed at 18V&C bid.

Provisions showed strength all day and this In spite of the large hog receipts and weakness in-wheat. Those two factors had but a slight effect under good buying by shorts, and especially the packers, prices soon recovered from the small opening decline. At the close May pork^was about 2^c higher at $8.00 May lard 5 cents higher at $4.12^ and May ribs 2%c higher at $4.12%. b'o a

iMONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.

Wall Street Markets Heavy But Irregular. New York, Jan. 11.—The market to-day was generally heavy but irregular of movement under the influence o£ liquidation in Union Pacific, a firmer market for exchange and unfavorable traffic returns for the first week in January. The dealings were mainly professional. The specialties Were prominent, Illinois steel, after yielding a fraction to 31%c, rallied to 36. Minnesota iron on the other hand fell 4%. The high priced coal shares were decidedly heavy on reports of an unsatisfactory condition of the anthracite trade. Lackawana sold oft' 2 per cent, and New Jersey Central 1% per cent. Further discussion of the alleged radical cutis in soft coai prices and by me Baltimore and Ohio was ioiiowed by a break of 3^4 per cent in Wheeling and Lake Erie pref. Union Pacific was the feature of the railway list being influenced by the defeat of the funding bill. The stock opening up Y* per cent at &% sold off to 7 and rallied to on covering, subsequently yielding to 6^4 or a fraction below the price ruling after the defeat of the Riley bill. ...

London purchased freely of the international shares but the traders appeared to favor a reaction. Manhattan and General Electric were hammered 1% and 1*4 per cent respectively. The other declines were mainly fractional and support was received at lutervals on covering.

The general list developed a better tone in the late trading under the leadership of sugar and the market left off firm at slight net changes.

Bonds were fairly active and as a rule higher prices were scored. The sales were $1,212,000.

Total sales of stocks to-day were 127,584 shares including American sugar 11,100 Burlington, 4,900 Delaware and Hudson, 3,100 St. Paul, 9,000 Union Pacific, 43,800.

People often become afflicted with piles anil ask some old "chronic" who has always persisted in toe wrong treatment and naturally he discourages them by telling them that their case is hopeless.

VANITY FAIR.

A London paper recently gave expression to the opinion Which has been frequently heard in conversations in foreign drawing rooms that European governments find in American women the most efficent recruits for their secret service. The United States stands alone among the great powers of the earth in not maintaining in addition to its ambassadors, secretaries and attaches corps of government agents. All European governments have these agents on their sal ary lists the agents are not accredited to any especial country but are paid out of the funds for such purposes which every European government has at its disposal. The most delicate and artistic pieces of work are intrusted to these agents and as the talent for intrigue is instinct in a woman is a woman usually commissioned to accomplish what a man diplomat could not dq. American women are clever, self-possesskft and sharp and are peculiarly fittted for this work. European diplomats, in fact, usual ly choose American wives for the samplefact that they will aid them in their work There is in Paris now an American woman, wife of an Italian marquis, who has a saloon crowded with French and foreign officials who do not know that every word they utter is carefully dissected and a report forwarded to St. Petersburg.

An American woman now living in London has been accused, however, of being another secret agent of the Russian government. Her friends stroflgly denied the charge, but it is based on the alleged discovery of some very compromising correspondenec in her possession. It seems that she had been stopping at a country house for a few days and after her departure a titled lady, who happened to be her worst enemy, found that she had left a dressing bag behind and on exploring it to learn the owner's identity, she came across the incriminating letters. The, peeress, after making the most of her find, turned over the correspondence to Rusten Pasha, as the letters concerned the Turkish government. But the chivalrous old diplomat declined to take advantage of the opportunity thus conferred and restored the documents to their American owner without a word.

There has been an impression Iti the minds of yong dancing men that when a girl of two or three seasons sits out a dance under her mother's wing her rapt look of reverie is a bluff, that she is a keenly observant of the approach of a possible partner

as is the debutante whose roving eye sndsj an appealing glance to every unattacfierf man she ever saw before, saya the Argonaut But it is a mistake the seasoned girl ?s thinking and these are some of the thoughts she thinks: "Why is it you like to reform man and are srorrow if you do?"' "Is it wicked to sympathise with a man who does not 'make a goo\ husband*?" "What makes your mother cross when you say you believe in giving men a great deal of liberty?'" "When the wife of a man you used to like has sprained her ankle, why do you ask them tcy dinner?" "When you meet your brother driving with a person why doesn't he see you?" "Why is he deferential afterward?" "What makes'you believe a stupid man must be wore® than he seems? What makes you think a bright man can't be so bad as he seems?"
