rEFZCULL TILEGEXM TO THI DISPATCH.!
IEW XoEKDec. & To-day's Btocfc mar
ket contained a suggestion of old-time ac
tivity. Some of its movements were re
markable, for it has rarely been the case
that tiro stocks hare been as active as
Soear Befinrog and Beading were to-day,
and at the same time have fluctuated
so materially in opposite directions.
Abnormally heavy trading in Illinois Cen
tral was another noteworthy feature. That
stock enjoyed a sharp advanje early in the
day on reports that the famous "Lake
front" case, involving certain riparian
rights assumed by the State of Illinois and
enjoyed by the railroad company bad been
decided in favor of the latter by the
Supreme Court of the United States. At
the advance the stock was -supplied freely
by a banking house heretofore interested in
the securities of the company, and when it
was learned that the decision was averse to
the corporation the stock declined 4 per
cent. Prom the synopsis of the decision
that baa come to band it appears that
while it is technically against the company,
it virtually confirms its title to the im
provements it has made upon the property
-which has been in dispute, unless those im
provements interfere with navigation. TJn
UBually large trading in Sugar Refining re
flected further liquidation, tlie reason for
which has not yet been made public.
Beading was comparatively qnlet until the
last hour. Within that woriod over 60,000
full shares of the stock changed hands at a
maximum advance of 2 per cent The buy
lnjr was described as chiefly to cover shorts,
and the motive was said to be a decision
favorable to the company in the mt
brought by a stockholder of the Lehigh
Valley Company to restrain it from leasing
Its propertv to the Reading Company.
The third stock in nolnt of activity was
Distilling and Cattle Feeding, which, alter
selling at 60JJ, the highest price yet re
corded for it, closed per cent lower than
on Saturday at 6SJ
The Grangers were in the main strong,
-with the heaviest trading in St. Panl
and Rock Island, both or which
closed half a point higher than
on Saturday, though at recessions
from best prices. Other noteworthv move
ments were in Western Union, Missouri
raclflc, Northern Pacific and Atcnlson All
ot the Gould stocks were strong and higher,
but Atchison w a barely bteady and North
ern Pacific heavy, Renewed selling of
Northern Faciflc consolidated 5s carried the
price below 70 and caused a good deal of un
favorable comment.
Concerning the deliberations of the mone
tary conference at Brussels to-day's cable
advices indicate that England is not averse
to entertaining a proposition to me silver
in amounts less than 4, pro
Tided the Bothschild proposition is favor
ably entertained by the conference. It is
also learned that the nltitnde of the press of
tills country toward the Rothschild proposi
tion is regarded abroad as extremely diplo
..jnattp and likely to imperil whatever chance
of success our representatives had when
they elicited a" suggestion" from Great Brit-1
atn. The closing ot tno market was active
and irregular.
. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.!
New Tore, Dec S The movements in the
stock market to-day were more than usually
Important, the fluctuations In prices having
been wide and frequent and the volume of
business above the average. In the early
trading the speculative temper was de
cidedly bullish, owing to liberal purchases
Jor foreign as well ns local account,
and tp the reduction in sterling
exchange which renders gold exports less
probable. The interest centered chiefly in
the Gould and Granger stocks, which ad
vanced 11 per cent, with Wostern Union
and Rock Island in the lead.
Railway bond s were generally Ann.

EVERYTHING HIGHER.
The Cereals Surprisingly Strong and Pro
visions Excited and Buoyant.
Chicago, Deo. &, Everything in the prin
cipal speculative markets was higher to
day, provisions excitedly so, and wheat,
considering the bearish news from Europe
and the Northwest, surprisingly so. Re
garding the latter, It Is said that Cudahy
and Wright have started a -deal in it, under
almost precisely similar conditions to tho
one they have in :provlsions. They are not
afraid of present enormous stocks. It is de
clared, on the theory of a probability of
their rapid dlsacpearance, and a conviction
that there is nothing back in farmers' hands
from which to replenish. Tho following are
the additions to Saturday's closing prices!
Wheat, e; corn, K5c: oats, Ho; pork, 52Wo
and ribs, 12Kc At ouo tme during, tho day
January poik almost showed again or77c
The advance in wbett was practically con
tinuous. With easy cables and very heavy
deliveries in the Northwest, the market had
a momentary spasm of weakness at the start
but it was soon found that there were good
buying orders on tho market and that there
was little for sale and prices had a quick
rally. Brokers supposed to be acting for
Cudahy were found to be taking all the
wheat thnt was offered. Pardrldge-Logan
met the demand for a time the former sup-
Sosed to be selling for St Louis account
ut the readiness with which it was ab
sorbed alarmed the sellers. There was also
free offerings on Northwest account, the
feeling In that quarter evidently being bear
ish on the enormous receipts, which aggre
gated 1,331 cars to-day, against 1,212 cats a
year ago, and 914 cars two years ago. The
anti-option bill talk did not have much
effect, nor did the increase in the visible
supply wbichtwas considerably larger than
expected.
Corn was a shade easier early, but Anally
improved a trifle in sympathy with the bet
ter lecling in wheat and the sharp advance
in provisions. The large decrease in the
visible supply. 1,301,000 bushels, imparted
Borne strength to the market late in the day.
Hog products are; excited on the smaller
receipts of hogs, higher prices at the yards
ana active buying by the clique and frantlo
covering by shorts. Packers seemed to be
the leading buyers, but there was also heavy
covering by speculative shorts.

good deal of surprise, inasmuch as it had
been expected that any change would bo in
the other direction, but its friends com
forted themselves by expiesslne the
conviction that it must bo pretty
near a point from which it
must react. Aside lrom its low
price, it would seem as if the approaching
annual meoting ought to stimulate a de
mand lor It from some source, under the
influence of which it would recover some of
Its lost ground. The w eaknes lnl'.iu. uiu
not create any special comment, though dis
gust was plainly depicted upon a number of
countenances. The strength of Philadel
phia Company was a gratify ing feature, ana
there was nothing to indicate that a belief
in a farther recovery was not general.

rumors that the Wcstlntrhouse Electric Com
pany will soon be taken into the General
Electric combination are again current in
Boston. Much or the recent buying is said
to have been based on the Tact that impor
tant progress is making toward the con
summation of the negotiations that have
been In progress for some time past; and
besides this It is known that the earnings of
the company of late have been Very large.
The insiders ate now picking up all the

THE USUAL MONDAY TRADE
Noted In Wholesale Mercantile Circles
The Markets All Open About as They
Closed Last "Week A Few Country
Froduce Features.
Monday, Dec 5.
About the usual Monday movement was
noted along the wholesale line to-day, with
significant features lacking. The markets
were reported about as they closed last
week.
The continued active demand is the main
feature of the butter trade. Beceipts are
still far short of requirements, particularly
of the liner qualities, which is the descrip
tion most sought after iu this market. Some
dealers are ot the opinion that the situation
shows signs of weakening, but
the way prices are being main
tained does not support this belief.
Holders experience no difficulty in realiz
ing lull prices for strictly fresh eggs when
guaranteed as such. Receipts continue very
light, and all arrivals And prompt buyers ns
soon ns iccelved. Cold storage still ottering
fieuly, with a large proportion composed of
musty stock which is hard to sell. Poultry
has been in excessive supply for somo time
ever since Thanksgiving, and offerings to
day were more than sufficient to
meet requirements. Commission men
are advising light shipments. Re
ceipts of cabbaces have been pretty
fair for the last two or thro weeks, but with
a good demand prevailing for choice, solid,
nlcely-tilmmed stock all such Is kept on the
movo about ns soon as received: demand to
day was excellent, and with light supplies
offeiing higher prices are not unlikely.
Celery in sufficient supply to meet require
ments; demand pretty fair for attractive
stock, but poor quality slow. Onions not so
plentiful, receipts for the last week having
perceptlblv decreased, which has caused a
firmer feeling to pervado the market; all
other seasonable vegetables also in good re
quest. There was a slight decrease in re
ceipts of potatoes during the past week,
which has imparted a stronger tono to the
market and elevated prices somewhat on
favorable varieties. Good, sound, straight
white stock will command fnll figures, but
other descriptions and mixed will not bring
quotations. Nearlv all kinds of game wero
lu good supply to-day, receipts being liberal
the Inst few days. Demand Is good for all
varieties and prices aro well anstalned.
Florida oranges have been arriving quite
freely lately and stock on hand now is lib
eral; demand is fair for fancy stock, but
prices have declined; Jamalcas of good
quality selling as noted. Lemons in good
demand for this season of the year and
prices rule steady. A fair trade is being
done in bananas of first quality at prices
given. Other items have a quiet but steady
demand as quoted.
