GERMAN INTERDICTION OF PORK, i Armour Believes it Will Not Seriously ' Affect Our Markets. AN UNEVENTFUL DAY IN WALL ST. Stock Speculators, Finding No fc-eese to Pluck, Playingja Lone Hand. CHICAGO. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Chicago, Dec. s.— The markets on 'change to-day for the leading cereals and provisions were steadier, firmer and higher. This was well sustained throughout the day, every market closing strong excepting only corn, which weakened somewhat dur ing the afternoon. The wheat pit was rather quiet, but the feeling was firm, and at the close month was about }4c higher than at 1 o'clock yesterday, January %c better, seller February }Jc better, and May ■was 3«c higher. Early sales were at about yesterday's closing figure?, but gradually improved about %c, eased off a trifle, then advanced and closed tolerably firm. On the call board prices ruled steady under a moderate inquiry. Winter was firmer and %c higher. Spring was in fair demand, No. 2 was stronger and 3-lc higher, No. 3 was J<c lower and rejected, neglected and nominal. Flour was quiet and unchanged. There was no inquiry to speak of from local job bers, although exporters bought fairly. Corn was again active and rather unsettled, but generally stronger and at the close cash November was about s gc higher than it closed at 1 o'clock yesterday, December or year aboutj^c higher, January %C high er, February % c higher, and May was }£c higher. The opening prices were at about the closing figures at 1 o'clock yesterday, but when it was found that the receipts were again large, there was quite a pres sure to sell, under which prices soon weak ened. December or year falling %c, Janu ary :; ;; c and February % c ,but later under the influenceof an increasing demand and in -sympathy w:"th the sharp advance in pro visions the market improved, year selling up nearly 1 !. ; c from the lowest point, Jan uary %c, February 9^% iil g %c, eased off a trifle, then fluctuated and closed strong. Ii; both legitimate and specula tive circles operators seemed to take hold with more confidence to-day. In the af ternoon the offerings became somewhat more free, and exceeded the demaniLpnces weakening a trifle. (>..;- were very'steady, cash and Novem ber delivery sold -}.(c over the closing on 'change yesterday, and slightly above the call board's closing. A good speculative demand existed, and the offerings were meager. There was also an improvement in the deferred futures. No. 2 cash sold at ;;.-,. :;;'.e. rejected about .')-!''..'e, but nominal, for consignments were all sold on track, sample lots were steady and firm, and the inquiry was good. A feeling of weakness intervened before the close of the morn ing session, but in the afternoon the feel ing was stronger and prices firmer. Bar ley is inactive, no transactions being re ported in store lots to-day. Rye is fairly active and steady for spot. The inquiry, for hog produce was quite active on speculative account, and the offer ings were liberal. The feeling was rather quiet early, and prices ruled comparative ly steady. About the middle of the ses sion a decidedly stronger feeling was de veloped, the competition for the offerings was active and 2 material advance gained in prices for all the. leading articles. The shipping demand was fairly active for all descriptions. The receipts of product were moderate, and the shipments of all kinds were very large. Foreign advices were rather unfavorable and pork and ba \con was quoted 6d .lower. Easter markets steadier and price?" a little more favorable to sellers. The demand for pork was ac tive and the offerings were free. Prices were advanced 25% 30c on the whole ran and the improvement was moder ately well maintained. Cash quiet and stead}*. An active demand prevailed also for lard. and the offerings were lib- I eral. Prices were stronger, advanced j 15 ft*; _'0c per 100 pour.ds, and closed c imparatively steady. -Cash in moderate demand and steady. In the afternoon pork was in good request firmer, and higher, and lard in active demand and a shade stiffer. Some 43,00-? live hogs of better quality were received to-day, and prices were well sustained, the market be ing active and stronger in packing and shipping account. It having been announced here on 'change that the German reichstag had passed a law stopping the importation of American hog products in any form into the German empire, a Globe representa tive called upon P. D. Armour. He stated that he understood from private advices that this law would be passed over a week ago. He did not think it won d affect the trade here much, at least at present. The low prices there and greater demand and high prices here had operated to keep all the meats in this country anyway. The only shipments were going to France. England and Hol land. There might be some bad effects felt when prices changed, but not at pres ent. The recent failures resulting from the flurry in corn were the subject of general discussion on 'change to-day, but no fur ther suspensions were announced. It is thought that the others bitten will weather the storm. The responsibility for the mis fortune befalling the five unlucky firms is directly attributed to one man, young • Carwith, a bold but reckless operator, who ] had been buying all the corn. He held ! lines of November futures, but also dipped 1 into year corn. November proved prfita- 1 ble, and on the last days of that month '■ corn sold on account of the corner, at ' G8, X4C a bushel. Or rather this was the - price last Tuesday. Wednesday was the • last day of the month, but the price broke - before that, though slightly. The longs < had bought heavily of cash corn seller 1 November and created a large short inter est which kept the price for that month at from 8 0 9c a bushel higher than Decern- ' ber or year corn. With the close of the month and the settlement ] of the deal this premium naturally disappeared, and the price of cash declined ' to nearly the price of seller the year and December. The decline last Friday was 0c ' and on Saturday 3J£c more. Yesterday the decline was about lc. There were dcliv- ' cries of larger lines of cash corn on Wed- I nesday, and much of this was thrown on ' the market Friday along with big receipts. ' The latter have kept up for days, and theie is no certainty as to when they will I c ] checked. ' Of the Kreigh & Davis failure there is '• little new. A meeting of the members of ' the board who were interested in the af fairs of the firm was called to-day by some parties unknown. At this meeting A. M. Wright was elected chairman. The firm did not send any statement whatever, as they claimed they did not have the books in such a shape that any accurate accounts could be made up. The following committee was then appointed to look over the books and ac counts of the firm: A. M. Wright, Chas. Eggleston, Wm. Bristol, W. D. Gregory*and Samuel Edridge. It was reported that the firm had closed up all their deals, except for about 150,000 bush els of long year corn. Nearly 300,000 bushels were thrown on the market yester day, and the deals closed out. The firm stated that they had not had a dollar's worth of deals for themselves, and that they had sold deals that they had a profit in. Deposits to secure these deals had been made. They closed giving money on margins Friday. The party who had the deal through them was Gorden Carwith. He is a son of Nathan Carwith, the millionaire, and has been unfortunate on this board for years. The former firm name was N. Carwith & Son. This firm has been dissolved for a few months. Young Carwith undertook the deal in No vember corn some time ago, and made no concealment then about the matter. Year f I corn was also bought then. The November ] deal was a lucky spec, but year corn' i covered the loss of all made on that deal \ and more too. .It " was stated yes terday that he had put up $150,000 in margins, and the firm demanded §100,000 more. This is about the way the matter stands. It is generally believed to-day that the year deal also could have been carried to a suc cessful outcome had the Carwiths had a little more nerve. A big operator said this afternoon that had the elder Carwith pus up ij.3rf,'.)oo more the operation could have been carried throngs, and .a big profit made instead of an humiliating loss, which carried down parties not in trie deal. The old gentleman withdrew his support from his son at a critical moment and a J collapse necessarily resulted. There is a ' good deal of bluff poker in corners, and nerve and money count about evenly. One thing.!? certain: year delivery is look ing up steadily, notwithstanding the bread, and is already Xc better. NEW YORK. [Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 Kjcw Yoke, Dec. s.—The opening en "change to-day was irregular, some stocks being higher and some lower than on last evening. Union Pacific sold at £1, and better prices were soon the rule. Delaware «c Lackawanna advanced to $1.26*4", Jersey Central to .71, Northwestern to £1.34\.>, and Northern Pacific preferred to 98, after ; which the market became very quiet. There .seems to be no disposition by the public to participate, and the professionals ij have it all to themselves. The fact that a disagreement between: j three or four lines in the Northwest should ] check any advance and cause weakness) throughout the whole list, is rather a bad! . symptom, and doe- not give much hope for " j any immediate boom. Among the lighter' properties Lake Erie & Western' was exceptionally strong, and.sold at 30*4 against 38 yesterday. There was no ani mation in the final dealings. The coal stocks were rather pressed for sale, while the general list showed steadiness and in some cases strength. Louisville & Nash ville and Wabash show increased earnings for the last week in November. St. Paul opened at si even, sold up to $I.GJ % and down again to $ljj£. Nortk western ranged from $1-3224 to .$1.34;?4, opening at $1.33)4 and closing }£c higher. Rock Island held very steady, not falling below its opening figures, §1.25}£, or .going higher than its closing quotation. Omaha started at 47 and closed at 47}.}'. At one time it touched -17%, and at another was sold at 4*2 ; 3 , Northern Pacific opened and closed at 46, although ranging during the day between j 45,% and *6M- Manitoba did not vary from $1.42. Minneapolis & St. Louis opened at 28%, sold up %c and then fell off %c, where it closed. There is reason for believing that the ad journment of the granger meeting at Chi cago is partly for the purpose of giving time to Vanderbilt for the purchase of the Omaha. If a sufficient amount of stock is bought this week, the chances for a settle ment of the Northwest war will be much improved. There has been a rumor that control of the Omaha could not be ob tained. Also a story that the buying has been for the Flower party through Vanderbilt broker*, but information most likely to be right is that Mr. Vanderbilt intends to secure control of the road. Mr. Babcock has been a buyer of North ern Pacific common. The preferred is scarce. It would P' be surprising if quite a rise was seen in the common stock.

There has been some . buying of Denver in the Osborn interest. W. L. Scott is said to be in the pool, which expects to get , Denver above 60. The German interest claims to be doing very little in stocks. Mr. Smith is said to have bought 5,000 shares of Lackawanna, and to have caused the rise in Jersey Central. He is credited with having sold St. Paul. George William Ballon & Co. have been considerable sellers of Union Pacific. Brokers supposed to have Gould infor- '. mation talk more bullish on Kansas & , Texas than on any other of the Gould stocks. It is understood that at the meeting of : the executive committee of the Western ; Union company on Monday measures for ' the retirement of the $15,000,000 of ille- - gaily issued stock will be drawn and pre-' ' sented for approval to the directors' meet- ' ing next day. Well informed people say there is , nothing of importance going on now, and ] the market is being manipulated by oper- ; ators of light caliber. The only specula- - tions'of the past three days are the trading in the Union Pacific and Omaha & St. [ Paul. Union Pacific was sold heavily by '. the Broad street party. St. Paul was sold by brokers, usually acting for the direct ors, and Omaha was bought by the Vander bilt party. The leaders are quite evenly divided. Gould and Vanderbilt are lead ing the bulls. Both are loaded to the finan cial muzzle with stocks bought to help sustain the market. Some say that Gould has half the capital stock of the Western Union Telegraph company and large slices of Missouri Pacific. Vanderbilt has a much bigger load, includ- I ing Lake Shore, New York Central, North western, Omaha, Rock Island, Michigan j Central, Canada Southern, and some St. j Paul. But of other big traders the only pronounced bull to-day is H. N. Smith. I The bear leaders are Scene, Cammack, ! Mills, Woereshoffer and Hutchings.

CRIMES & CASUALTIES. ARREST OF A LOT OF BODY SXATCH ERS AT PHILADELPHIA. -■\fc " ■" Systematic Bobbery off a Colored Grave yard—Attempts to Lynch the Miscreants —The Usual Number off Fatal Affrays. Accidents and Suicides. - BODY SNATCHING. Philadelphia, Dec. s.—Frank McNa mee, Dutch, Pillet and Levy Chew, the latter colored, were arrested to-night while driving a wagon containing five dead bodies to the medical college. The bodies had been stolen from Lebanon cemetery, in the lower part of the city. Two more arrests were made this morning when a detective visited the cemetery and arrested Robert Chew, its superintendent and An drew Mullen. All the prisoners will have a hearing this afternoon. . _ Lebanon cemetery,from which the bodies were stolen, was a favorite burying ground of the colored people. Long before the hour set for a hearing, crowds of colored people blockaded Seventh street. Plots to lynch the prisoners were discussed, but they were rushed through the crowded hallway to a back room before the people realized what was going on. They then vented their disappointment in jeers and yells. At the examination the colored ele ment was the strongest. Several officers of Lebanon cemetery were present. Two keys found on Mc Tamee fitted the doors in the room where the bodies were prepared j for dissecting at Jefferson college. | McNamee denied knowledge of who gave them to him, or what he was to have, but finally said he waited outside the cemetery while the others brought out the bodies, and he knew where they came from. Rob- j crt Chew, when arrested at the cemetery about i:3O yesterday morning, began cry- j ing, and said he was paid $3 for every body taken from the cemetery, and the money was handed him by his brother. He did not know how many graves had been robbed. Sometimes Pillet did the dig gi**y and sometimes Levy. He had been ir'Afie cemetery eleven years, and the body snatching had been going on nine years. " His brother-in-law, Solomon But cher, now in Maryland, did it first. Then a man named Myers and then McNamee. Sometimes a wagon came and the driver said they were short. The coffins were opened in the receiving vault, the corpse "snatched" and the farce of burying the empty coffin was gone through the next day. The records of burials at the ceme tery showed that in two months fifty-four bodies were in one grave. This statement created a sensation among the audience. Upon conclusion of the testimony de fendants were committed in default ofsJsooofor a further hearing Friday. as soon as the crowd outside tne magis trate's office learned that the examination was over, an overwhelming rush was made for the entry and gateway, with threats of lynching the prisoners. A sergeant and ten sren of the reserves were sent for, and th* "snatchers" then brought out. Tha crowd made another, rush, and men and women struck at the prisoners, who cow ered before them. The policemen drew ±heir clubs and on a trot went down Chest nut street to the central station, where the prisoners were locke I up for the night. .

I Chicago, Dec. — Great excitement pre • vailed in sporting circles this evening, the ' I occasion being another raid on the gam blers by the new superintendent of police, i Austin Doyle. Squads of police made raids simultaneously at 11 o'clock upon five faro banks, among them being Wal pole's and the notorious Mike McDonald's. The furniture and all the gambling para phernalia, costing over $15,000, was con fiscated. Three hundred and fifty young and old men were caught bucking the tiger, and were run into the police station, keeping the officials busy nearly all night making out bail bonds. Among those caught were two St. Paul men, one a grain dealer who visits the-board of trade here frequently, and the other a railroad man. They gave their names as Smith and Jones respect —assumed names — admonished the boys to keep mum. One of the dealers captured was a prematurely gray middle aged man named Jeff Coan, brother of the late S. Coan Campbell, the celebrated op j eratic singer, and formerly well known in J Minnesota. There is a lively commotion ■ among the gambling fraternity, and it is ! believed that all of the faro banks will be shut down for a time, thus drawing the betting men into the poker rooms, which are already largely patronized.

If we retain their confi dence we must deserve it, and we may be sure they will call on us to give account of our stewardship. We shall utterly fail to read aright the sighs of the times if we are not fully convinced that parties are but instruments through which the people work their will, and that when they become less or more the people desert or destroy them. The vanquished have lately learned these things, and the victors will act wisely if they profit by the lesson. Let us not forget that an intelligent, think ing, reading people will look to that party which they put in power to supply all their various needs and wants, and the party | which keeps pace with the developments , j and progress of the times, which keeps in. sight its landmarks and yet observes those things which are in advance, and which j will continue true to the people as well as I . to its traditions, will be the dominant par- | i ty of the future." ;>; - I * Ex-Senator Gordon, of Georgia, mide - I the only other speech of the evening. ; FIRE SALE.
