heavy, lower quotations from liondon and
the bank troubles at the west having been
the disturb.ng features. At one t.mt.
was announced from Chicago that tho
Dimes Savings Bank of that city had sus
pended, but this was subsequently denied.
The pressure to sell was not pronounced
by any means. After the publication of
the November report of the Burlington,
the market developed Increased weakness.
The statement of the company showed a
decrease in net earnings of $195,735, and a
decrease in surplus aftri- charges of S2O",
780. Burlington and Quincy naturally
scored the heaviest loss in the railway list
and fell from 70% to 68%, St. Paul reacted
% to 72%, and Rock Island 1% to 64%.
Northwest and Ohio were practically un
changed. Consolidated Gas was the feat
ure of the Industrial group, and broke
from 141 to 136%, with a late rally of .’39.
The selling of this stock was due to the
revival of the reports of dollar gas. Sugar
held tolerably firm, considering all the
talk about a war with the Arbuckles.
The losses ih the general list were unim
portant. In the last hour of trading the
market developed firmness on efforts to
cover short sales made early in the day.
Sugar and Reading were the notably firm
stock’s, the last named having been
strengthened by the announcement of the
payment of the January interest in gen
eral fours, and the reported improvement
in Anthracite Coal conditions. The rally
in prices ranged from % to 1% per cent.
Speculation closed quiet and firm in tone.
Net changes show gains of %@% per cent..
,n Reading, Manhattan anu Sugar, and
losses of about as much in the usually
active stocks. Burlington and Quincy
was an exception, and lost 1% per
cent, on the day. The total sales were only
100,804 shares, including 72,200 Burlington,
17,700 Sugar and 11,800 St. Paul. Bonds were
irregular. The sales footed up $956,000.

Chicago, 111., Dec. 28.—Affairs at the
board of trade were very quiet to-day, but
the wheat market presented withal a firm
tone, prices shoeing .Ittle disposition lo
yield to selling. The absence of Liver
pool quotations was a serious drawback,
tending to somewhat curtail business anil
to restrain the strong sentiment in favor
of higher prices. Towards the close some
disquieting rumors touching a local hank
were in clrcu.ation, causing prices to re
cede. May wheat opened from 82% to 82%c,
declined to 81%c, closing at 82e—%c higher
than Thursday. Cash wheat was steady
without particular change in price.
Corn—This market had nothing to rec
ommend It to attention or to observation.
The principal dealings, and they were
small, were for the account of local scalp
ers and floor traders. The strength of
wheat contributed to the steadiness of
prices. May corn opened at 25%c, so.d be
tween 25%c and 25%c, and closing at 26%c.
Cash corn was easy to %c lower.
The course of the oats market depended
solely upon that of the other grains. The
range of prices permitted of but slight op
portunity for remunerative transactions.
May oats closed %c lower. Cash oats were
easy anu ' vac lower.
Provisions—The hog market made an ad
vance of 5c this morning, and product re
flected the improvement promptly. There
was very little trading anil nothing of in
terest developed. May pork closed a shade
higher, May lard and ribs each 2%c higher.
