CHICAGO.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. I
Chicago, Dec. 5. — The provision deal is
till the absorbing topic on 'change, and the
belief is general that prices are going to be
pushed up a great deal higher, though the
manipulators received a temporary set back
to-day in the enormous receipts of hogs, the
receipts of which are estimated at 68,000, the
largest arrival in one day since the opening
of the stock yards. This factor depressed the
price of pork 20@25c, but the feeling was
quite firm at the decline Lard and ribs
were only moderately active, closing 10@
12;^'c lower. Wheat was vigorously pounded
by the bears, but offered a very stubborn re
sistance. December closing %c lower and
deferred options %c lower. Tear corn broke
sharply, closing lc below yesterday, while
later deliveries ruled comparatively firm and
closed only a shade lower. Oats were weak
and slumped off ££c on December and %c
on May. Closing quotations on the after
noon board were: January wheat 73J£c, year
corn :Jti"<e, May oats 27%, January pork
$11.40, January lard $6.75, January ribs
$5.75!
Bulls on wheat have a pretty hard row to
hoe aud the bears are in e.ven worse luck,
for, while the former class are buoyed up
with tbfl hope of a material advance in the
future, the latter ciinnot hope for more than
a blight redaction !■ values and all the indi
cations are that if such a decline comes it
will be only temporary. The market is a
very stubborn one aud refuses to be for.'cd
violently either way, though the resistance
offered to a down turn seems greater than
tbut to an up turn. The receipts continue
excessive, and in this factor the bears place
their chief reliance, and if present arrivals
keep up their reliance is not so badly placed.
But the bulls don't believe this condition
of tilings will last forever, and to-day they
found some consolation in rumors of some
falling oil in farmers' deliveries in the
northwest, which rumors had some continua
tion in the purchases of parties
closely identified with the business ol
that section. The only fact
that militates against this confirmation is the
fact that large sales were made some time
ago on account of the northwest, and the
buying for the past day or two may have
been to provide for these sales and not pur
chases for an investment. In that event, it
merely shows that the speculators in that
section do not believe in much lower prices.
Foreign advices to-day indicated a firmer
feeling in Liverpool, and spot deliveries were
a shade higher, with a fair demand for car
goes off coast and on passage. The large
receipts, however, encouraged the bears to
vigorously hammer the market, but they
failed to make a very signal success of it.
notwithstanding the fact that their main
argument was reinforced by reports of the
failure of a large grain bouse in London.
January, which continues to be the leading
speculative future, opened %c lower, at
73,'^c, and persistent hammering during the
early hours only sent it down %c. About
noon there was a reaction, and prices went
up to 73% c, and the close on the
morning board was at precisely opening
figures. In the afternoon there, was a greater
desire to realize, one of the most prominent
bulls on the floor selling out 500,000 bushels
of January at 74j^C, and at these figures the
market closed. February closed at 74c, and
May, after touching 80% c, closed at 80#c,
the lowest point of the day.
"At present I cannot 6ee any encourage
ment for the long side," said Frank Kennett
this morning, '"but I believe that purchasers
of May ut 80c will eventually pay a good
profit."
Said A. M. Wright: "The fact that the
bears, who for tjie past thirty days have been
using every effort at their command to break
the market, have only been able to secure a
decline of '2%c on January wheat, although
&ided by large receipts and ace u m u latino
fctocks at all points, induces many well iu
iorrued and conservative parties on and off
Ibe board to think that prices are down
where it is Impossible to force and hold a fur
ther decline. This feeling is encouraged
by the improved tone that pervades business
generally, the general impression iv mer
cantile and financial circles being that, while
co great boom in prices is likely, bed rock
figures have been reached, and that all
branches of trade will work on to a more
healthy basis, from whence values will gradu
ally appreciate and adjust themselves to the
cost of production."
"The intrease in receipts of spring wheat,"
•aid a broker, "has a very depressing effect
on outside buyers, and they are not likely to
buy freely until they see some signs of
falling off in receipts. There are plenty of
opeiaturs, both outside and local, ready to
take strong hold of this wheat tbe moment
they see auy chance to bull it successfully,
but this they generally admit cannot be done
on increasing receipts with 6ucb a trifling de
mand as we have had so far. Foreign buy
ers do not seem willing to take more than
2.000,000 bushels per week from us, which
is entirely too small an average to bull the
market on in the face of such liberal receipts
and targe stocks."
Com opened firmer under the small re
ceipts — 184 cars, of which but three graded
contract — and the soft weather, which, if it
continues, will materially delay the arrival of
No. 3 corn. This induced a brisk demand
from shorts, who bid the year option up to
38%e, or %c above yesterday's close, but
when the more apprehensive had filled there
was a lull, followed by a break of l)£c from
top figures, and then ft rally of J^c, with a
close of 37% con the morning board. In
the afternoon there was another severe break
aud the final close waß lc below that of yes
terday and %c above bottom figures to-day
at 36>s c - There seems to be some expecta
tion of a squeeze toward the close of this
month, and the deal is popularly supposed to
be run by Love Bros., who were the chief
supporters of tbe market to-day, but, as will
be seen by the course of the market, this ex
pectation" has not yet developed into a
scare. The deferred futures were moder
ately active in a scalping way, but
6
the fluctuations were not wide and the de
cline was slight, January fluctuating between
34,%' c and 35 % c and closing the same as yes
terday at. 33c. May got up to 37 % c, %c
above the opening, and settled to a close of
37J^c. a decline from yesterday of Jfc
Oat* were worker and May. which is the
option chiefly traded in, 6old down J^c to a
close of 2~Xc, while December closed }£c
lower than on yesterday at 24 >^c.
There is a vigorous kick about the provi
sion pit at tbe manoeuver of Sid Kent and
old "Hutch." This pair has been bnll
inc the product, and the present advance of
$1 a barrel in pork was caused by their recent
purchases.
Said one provision man: "Kent and
Ilutchinson are running four packing
houses, and I can't for the life of me un
derstand their attitude. It is of the utmost
importaLce to break the market in order to
get live hogs down, and if they had held oft
for a while, hogs would have been 25c, per
haps 50c cheaper."
Kent and Hutchinson have been pretty
liberal buyers of hogs at the yards, but yes
terday and to-day were holding off like the
rest. The younger members of the packiug
fraternity were a good deal more vehement
in their denunciation of what they declared
to be the "datnphool trick of a couple of old
codgers." The secret undoubtedly is that
Hutch and Kent regarded the product
pretty cheap, and, as they wi.
"left" last year by Mr. Armour, de
cided to get in eood and curly this
year, but in getting ir. - t all
the plans of all the other paffcan awry. The
upward movement w..s • bfClrwi t >-day, how
ever, as well it misjht be, iv the face of tin
receipts of 68,000 hogs, which, with the sur
plus left over yesterday, made OTttT *
on sale this morning. In consequence the
Chicago Packing company had its BM
in trying to boater up the market, and the
task would probably have been imp
were it not for the fact that short seller*
have been so repeatedly squeezed in j»ork
corners that they an- timid ulioiit going in
very heavily all at once, and have to be lured
into the trap by degrees. The result was
that prices were fairly linn at a lower raugt
■fprtSMi January potfc opened at (11.45,
sold up to $11.50 and down to ill
closiug 5c below the opening and 2'l ! _. c In
low yesterday's close at $11.40. February
ranged at $11. 50(7< 11. 62 !£. and cosed 2Uc
below yesterday at $11 .:
"It looks," said Geo. W. Shepherd, ''As
though the deal would be a last ins otic, and
Ido not think it is intended merely for a
quick squeeze of the shorts. Tin- opinion is
gaining ground that the supply of hogs this
year is not quite so great as has been gener
ally supposed, and it is now estimated at from
sto 10 percent, in number, or, allow in for
greater average weights in some states, at
about 10 per ceut. in amount more than last
year."
January lard opened !"«• lower, and dropped
another sc, closing at $0.75, and February
followed the same course to a close of $G. 85.
Trading was not very active, and the feeling
was somewhat unsettled. Ribs Were only
moderately active. January closed 10c lower
at $5.72 % and February 12} - 2 c lower at
$5.80.
The day was a busy one at the stock yards,
where the fresh receipts of hogs were esti
mated at 65.000, the greatest number ever
received sinee 1 the opening of the stock yards.
The previous largest arrivals for one day were
on November 25, 1879, when the number
reached 04.403. The number on sale, in
cluding those left over hist night, was aboat
80,000. Trices dropped 15(&30c,' the bulk of
the best packiue grades selling at about #4.10
@4.20 and the best heavy at $4. '>:,<« 4. :i0.
The cuttle market was quiet, with little or
no change in prices. Packers bought about
50,000 hogs, and the market closed with
20,000 to 25,000 left for to-morrow.

My Dear Sir: Day I efore yesterday, when I

A number of small gifts have been sent to me,

in this manner to chow their good will, while
others have beeu received from those whom I
suspect of attemptiug purely to procure an ac
knowledgment. It if hard to offend the former

I have determined to assure you moot heartily of

Th«- Now York "Snn"on National Currency.
New York, Dec. 5. — The Hun, in a nota
ble double-leaded editorial, discusses the
question of "our coming national currency,"
and reaches the conclusion mat the national
bank currency must go and give place to a
government currency of coin and paper
money. The article notes carefully the
rapid decrease of national bank circulation,
&nd the more rapid increase in coin and
coin certificate*, and says: "Tbte will give
ns by IS9I a grand total of {1,135,000,000
of government currency against not more
than $100,000,000, and probably less, sup
plied by the banks. Of course, muca may
happen to modify or prevent this result,
The conduct of men cannot be predicted so
confidently as that of Inanimate things. The
legal tenders may be redeemed and with
drawn, and the coin age of silver dollars may
be suspended and the supply of gold may be
diminished at the mines or be drained
away to foreign countries. The decrease of
uational bank circulation may, on the other
band, be checked by favoriug legislation,
but the probabilities are greatly against these
i vents, an i, as we said at the outset. it is
much more likely that the national bank
notes will be driven out of use altogether,
and their places taken by .in exclusively guv
erment currency. The existence of national
bank currency, it must be me red, de
pends entirely upon the profit it yields the
banks. Turse institution* are conducted upon
commercial and not upon philanthropic
principles. So long M the bonds required a*
security for their circulation bear a suffi
ciently high rate of interest they will issue
the notes, but so soon as the rate falls
below the paying polut the cir
culation will In.* withdrawn. At
present there are enough three
per cents, to be had'at par to make it worth
while to take out circulation upon them, but
those bond*, as we know, will all soon be
paid off and the comptroller of the Currency
tells us that the 4's and the 4?.<'s are already
too high to make them a profitable basis for
circulation. The 4}£s will surely be redeemed
at maturity in IV.' l and the 4e are rising in
price continually under the competition' for
them by executors and trustees of savings
institutions and timid investors. That the
people of the United States will for the sake
of the banks sanction any legislation by
which the national debt shwill be prolonged
or the interest upon it be increased, it is idle
to suppose,' that they will permit the banks
to issue circulation on any less «ecur
basis than United St .tea bonds is
equally incredible. There is no es
cape that we can Me from the bard logic of
facts. The natioi.al bank currency must go,
and that pretty coon, Of the possibility of
the retirement of the legal tender notes by
redemption and cancellation there is no In
dication. The contracting of them in this
way was stopped in 1575 by popular clamor,
and as we have remarked, they have re
mained fixed at their present amount ever
sine.-, without effort by either political party
to reduce it. The same may be said of the
coinage of sjlfir dollars, every attempt to
check or suspend it has hitherto been abor
tive. The west almost unanimously favors
it and will support it to tlif last. As to
danger that the withdrawal of bank circula
tion may cause a monetary stringency,
concerning which bo * much solici
tude has been expressed in various
quarters, it need only be remarked that the
coinage of gold and silver alone will more
than fill any vacuum thus occasioned.
Whether this coin goes into circulation as
coin or as government receipts for coin de
liverable on demand, is immaterial. There
is sure to be circulating medium enough for
the needs of the community. At the worst,
supposing the amount to be reduced by an
unusual lon -iirii demand exceeding the pro
duct of our mines, we shall always have, as
we bad duriug the war, the resource of the
local tender notes., especially since the issue
of them has been declared by the supreme
court to be a constitutional exeretse of gov
ernmental power. We shall always do well
to remember that the natural forces are often
stronger tuan legislation, and the common
sense of events constantly set aside the
< udeuul reasonings of theorisU and
philosophers."
Fraud In the Comptroller's Office.
Wasuisotox, Dec. 5. — At a meeting of the
committee on expenditures of the depirt
iiieu; of justice to-day Chairman Springer
read a letter from J. J. Barker, former treas
ury clerk, reiterating the charges made by
him mm time airo against the management
of the oiliee of first comptroller of what he
considered illegal allowances of per diem.
He said he had written a decision on this
subject. I told him his decision bad not
reached the fourth door of bis oClce. The
comptroller told me one bill for p-r diem
was outrageous and should not be allowed,
but it was allowed in other cafes. I objected
to the payment of claims as illegal, but they
were allowed. I called the attention of
the chief of the division to
certain irregular vouchers, and be
replied it was none of our business. There
were other accounts for $11,000 that were the
result of the star route 'trials. I told the
; comptroller that they were illegal. He Mid
lie had si-riu-d them without examining them.
I told him he could cot afford to siiro them.
He replied he could allnrd to, because be bad
already done so. 1 think the attorney gen
eral influenced the comptroller to allow the
$11,000. I went to the chairman and at
tcniutcd to hare these things corrected, but
I found every obstacle thrown in my ■ war."
Referring to the first com ptrulit- r Barker said :
"I believe Judge Lawrence to be honest, but
he is so exclusively engajred in the produc
tion of bis decisions, be has not time to at
tend to the details of bis office."
Before adjournment the committee di
rected the chairman to appoint a sub com
mittee to investigate the matters referred to
by Barker. A resolution was adopted re
questing the secretary of the treasury to fur
nish th" committee copies of all vouchers on
file in the treasury department concerning
the payments, to United States Marshal
Wright, and other court officials of the south
ern district of Ohio, for general and special
deputy marshals at the congressional elec
tion in October, and for a statement of
amounts allowed and paid on account of
their services. A resolution was also adopted
requesting: the chairman to request the at
torney general to furnish the committee with
copies of all correspondence between his de
partment and United States Marshal Wright
in reference to the employment of United
States deputy marshals at the same election.
'Judge Lawrence plain*.
Washington, Dec. 5. — Judge Lawrence,
first comptroller, in relation to the testimony
before the Springer committee, says the com
plaints nearly all relate to accounts of the
district 'attorneys, clerks and marshals.
These are all sworn to by those officers, then
submitted to and approved by the court in
the presence of the district attorney, whose
duty it is to object to any false or illegal item.
The accounts were all approved by the first
auditor. Complaint is, therefore, against
the officers, their oaths, tbe court the auditor
and last the comptroller's office. It is more
likely one man should be mistaken than all
these. As to the expenses in the star
route cases they were approved bj the attor
ney general, whose approval is conclusive.
As* to tbe deputy marshals at elections, they
were only paid for half tbe time allowed by
law. Tbe accounts were sworn to and ap
proved by the court and tbe marshal bad tbe
sole control of tbe time they should serve.
But one man in the United States has ever
said I allowed illegal or extravagant charges,
and be says I am honest. I bave found
many men wbo complained tbat I refused to
allow claims which tbej regarded just and
legal.
