DULL TIMK8 IN CHICAGO Spéculation Frocticnllj Dead and rh« Money Market Btrlugeot—Tti« CauMe. Chicago, Nov. 20.—Speculation oo the Chicago Board of Trade is practically dead. "Settling committee»" and a remarkably •trlngrnt radney market have done it. The report of the committee appointed to fix the closing price of September wheat has made everybody inad. The market value ot Sep tember wheat on the #0th of that month was 91.07. On the same day October sold for 94 cent». The short», pf courte, de manded that the settling price be Axed at the latter figure. The longs wanted the "market value" for their goods. To please both sides the committee split the difference at 91.02, and the result la that disgust Is general and widespread. There will be no more settling committees in Chicago. A yea rot two ago, when J. D. Lyon and otbeis were cornerlug the market every month, there war, o great outcry from members of the Hoard of Trade and many outsiders agitluat the praefb-e. In deferent* to this a rule was passed prohibiting corners, and providing fop the adjustment of prices by settling committee*. The rule partly cured onedI#n»Me, but it brought on auother which was much became the rule, a contract worse.

Norristown, Pa., Nov. 30. —The inquest in the Garber poisoning case was continued here to-day. Albauua Roileau was re called, but could uot recollect having pur chased any arsenic on May 29, 1882; if he did, it was hy direction of bis father. Dr. Elwood M. Corson stated that the cause of Charles Garber's death was poisoning by arsenic. Martha Hyde, who has been the housekeeper for the Boileau» since January last, was then examined. She had neither heard John nor Albauus Boileau make threats against tho Garber family; she knew nothing of the cause of the sickness of ihe Garbers ; she was not awaro that Albanus used arsenic to kill rats ; she was positive that Albanus was at home all the time dur ing tho three days preceding November 2 ; lie was never permitted to go out alouo on account of his feeble health. It waa de sired that Mrs. Garber should bp present, as thtf jury wished to ask her a few questions. G. W. Rogers, her counsel, appe said that she was. unwell and bad vised by her physician to remain in the house. After a lively tilt between the lawyers it was decided to adjourn until Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. Juror Jamison took occasion to remark during the afternoon that the duty of th« jury was to find out the cau«e of Mr. Garber's death and not to say who was tho guilty party. The District Attorney thought that the jury should en deavor to find out whether the poison had been introduced into the food with evil In tent, and by whom, or whether It had found it# way there accidentally. Old John Boileau says that he remember» that Albanus put the arsenic in the rat holes on May 29, as s«* was impressed «u» his mind by having seen a paper bearing the word "poison" in one of the rat holes some tiino afterward. a red and been ad F.

Wooten» Steel-Kail Mukeyn THre*»«uing to CIo»e Their Work« ta t rer«ot Tariff Deform* Chicago, Nov. 20.—The story sent to the East about the closing of the steel and iron mills here are to a certain extent sensations J. There is no break between the irou men an«l the laborers. It haa been undoubtedly affirmed that, in view of tho election to tbe next Congress of a majority supposed to be hostile to the existing tariff on steel rails, the manufacturers might think it good policy to close their mills, though there are no reasons in the present condition and proa- * pect« of the trade for sued» actions. The manufacturers claim that at present prices any reduction in the tariff rate would mako it impossible for them to continue business pro fitably. What they mean by"profitably" is not so clear*—that 1«, it is not so clear as It might be whether the}' mean enormous profits or living profits. This i» a point to be care fully looked into and ascertained. It is re ported her« to-day that the threatened clos ing of the mills may be aimed also at th«» workmen who aro now conferring as to a reduction of wages. It »« said the workmen are willing to stand a reduction of 15 per cent, on their wages, but the mill-owner« want to mnke it 25 per cent. This subject. I think, will be settled peaceably between this time and the first of January. There appears to be no reason known to the public why work should be stopped, as it is prob able that there will be a large demadn for rails next year. . CAMERON'S AXE.
