f Special Tekram to the Globe. ]
Chicago, Jan. 22. —To-day the markets
have all I een B'.OBg «nd the drooping
spirit of a bells have been greatly re
vived. On J were ail unfavorable, aud
stocks of c. ils Bhowed an increase at
this point. (Jrtbles g ave Odessa, Russia,
9,300,000 bushdls and ;'.a excessive stock
at leading British ports. There was no
shipping demand, and the only legitimate
sn-jtainicg influenceontaide of local inter
«sts was the shipment from Baltimore of
200,000 b r she! , saving the stock at that
point 1,100,000 bushels. The controlling
interests v Xork stock exchange,
however, had callud ie bears had
accorded their maoh-baited and badly
harassed adversaries a breathing spell and
the bulls of the board hastened to make
the mott of the opportunity. Again wire 3
, and Btatitioians had been laboring with
figures, and it was reported that the visi
ble supply would show a diminution of
from 1,00,000 to 2,000,000 bushels of wheat.
Corn and provisions were bo'.h firm, and
it was said a leading broker waa making
large purchases of wheat through brokers
with a view, doubtless, of advancing prices
of hog products, which with great aooord
the magnales of the stock yards do greatly
desire.
A large share of the strength in wheat
was owing to heavy purchases made by
Oomstock &, Hobbs with their acoompany
ing horde dtf Bcalpers and tsilers, who
were the prime causes of the weakness
which developed from free offerings on
call. May wheat opened very unsettled,
with sales from 96jJ£e to 97)^0 about tho
same time. Then there was a season of
trading from 97c to 97^0, a rally to 97j^o,
a break to 97%0, and fluctuated to
97%b, then up to U7J4'c. After one sale at
97%e the market broke off to 971/ gO, went
up to 87^}O and closed with that pnea bid.
On call trading f nottd up 1,700,000 bush
els, and most of it was supposed to be
long wheat, although pome was unques-
tionably the dumpings of the Hobbs-
Comstock clique referred te. The close
on call was 97j£o, but the curb was steady
at 97^@97%c. Poole, Kent & Co. were
the largest buyers of wheat dur
ing the day. Charley Mair was
very . busy for his principal,
who is supposed to be Ronsse, the lucky
Baltimore speculator. The boys in the
alley were talking §1 for wheat during the
week, but the beam have not relaxed their
grip»and they grimly smiled as the boy»
worked hard to iucrease their stocks.
There was less w.'uat to be bovght on the
curb to-night thun for two week past.
Many of the local bears have become a
little wavering, and are essaying plaintive
little attempts at bellowing, while some
of the bolls are ready to
turn tail if stocks move
down a peg to-morrow or the visible sup
ply fails to show a decrease.
Minor, Richards & Co. said: "We may
see a break off from to-day'a advance, but
we think wo are iiabia to Bee some further
upturn before much of a break."
Mr. A. M. Wright ascribes the upturn
wholly to manipulation.
Shepard & Peacock: 'The re appears to
be a decided shifting about of affairs
in favor of the bulls, but how iong it will
last depends somewhat upon the stook
markbi. and the movement of staff on ex
port orders."
Crittenden & Harvey: "Wheat iB cheap
enough' now, and a natural reaction
should carry prices upward fully 5 cents
before we ought to 6xpeot another decline,
and yet speouiators appear to favor the
sellers' Pide of tho market and will make
strong efforts to break prices on any fur
ther rally."
Lindblom: "Wheat has ruled strong
under good local buying and aa expected
decrease in the visible supply. It is
natnral that after suon a decline
a reaction should take place
and it is too early yet to measure. There
are good arguments on both sides. In a
general way we beiie\e there will be plenty
of weak spots to buy on."
Kennett, of MoCormiok, Kennett & Day,
says: "Shorts bought heavily on call, an*
we may get a little break in consequence,
but May wheat will soil above $1.00 and
probably much higher when we get a
steady reduction in stocks and our usual
Bpring crop so ires."
The receipts of corn to-day were very
disappointing to the bears, being only 310
oare, of which 40 per ceut. graded. The
streegth of the wheat market was com
municated to the grosser cereal, aud
prices ruled higher. General trade is
bullish, and the provision crowd were
heavy buyers. The Wall street crowd were
said to be quietly adding to their holdings,
and as immense quantities of
corn headed thi3 way didn't
seem to materialize, it is not impos
sible that they appear openly as buyers
during the next few days. It may prove
interesting to note that Lindblom,who was
among the earliest to discover that the
January doal had been abandoned, was one
of the largess buyers all day. c call he
was taking in 50,000 bushel blocks. Mr.
Culver was also a heavy and steady buyer,
which provoked remark from one of Jack
Sturges' former intimates: "Mr. Globe
man, our friends down by big breeze are
beginning to get ready to take your warn
ing, and to prepare for a settlement of
January oorn." Codahy & Stevens, Roche
and Sherwin, and F. G. Logan were also
heavy buyers. On call the feel
ing was weaker, but firmed
up when May closed at 58^c bid.
Oats were active and higher to-day, and
clossd with an advance of l@l}^c. Stocks
in the interior are said to be very
large. Shipper are reported to be selling
May against holdings in country elevators.
A stronger feel ng was developed in the
market for hog products. Prices advanced
materially on all the leading articles,
though outside figures were not filly
maintained to the close. Receipts of hogs
were not large, and the market was higher.
This enoonraged speculative operators to
purchase a little mere freely, both on
local and outside account. Offerings were
moderately large of all description?, and
trading was chiefly in contracts for Feb
ruary, March and May delivery. The
shipping demand showed some improve
ment, but the extreme views of tellers
checked buying to some extent. Foreign
advicea exhibited a little more strength
and quotations were edvanoid GJ^lson
bacon. Eastern markets were steadier,
and advices indicated sympathy with the
course of the market here. Receipts cf
products were moderately lp.rge and ship
ments were more liberal than for several
days past.
Shepard & Peacock pay: "A very active
market and strong one has been the rule
to day and the advance, while not being
great, waa a steady one and siijnincant of
still better values. Armour has betn a
liberal buyer of pork and short rib?, and
Fowler Bros, are on the market as buyers
of lard for May. Deducting the daily
shipments of hogs faom the daily receipts
does not leave local packers much to work
on. The shipping demand for tho stuff is
good, and ouoide orders on speculative
account are improving."
Crittenden <fc Harvey: ''We look for
some eaoyßpots, but believe we shall see
considerable additional advance before any
marked decline Beta in, and would buy if
we got a little decline."
Receipts of cattle continue to fall con
siderably below last week, being 7,000 le»s
for two days. Trade opened brisk and
prices ruled arm from first to last. Com
mon sorts of half fat cattle and rough
steers that went so low list week are rapid
ly regaining. For all descriptions of
butchers', buyers were, to use an expression
of the trade, "climbing over each other,"
to get what they wanted. There was a good
export demand, and the shippers to the
seaboard markets were not backward in
bidding for their share. Receipts of hogs
are about 10,000 less than for the corres
ponding period last week. Trade opened
brisk, especially on the best heavy for
which speculntors fearelessly outbid the
buyers for packers, in some instances p3y
iDg 10@15c over the current prices of
yesterday. For medium mixed or straight
lots of packers' there was only a slight
advancing and not that in all cases. Assort
ed light also only soil a shade stronger
than yesterday, bat as-sorted heavy and
Philadelphias and shippers generally sold
100 to 150 higher, ihe range being $6 10 to
$6.40 —the outside eaia to have been paid,
yet we found no record of the Bftle at the
hour this report was closed. The general
market ruled Rtrouj?, with all Classen of
buyers "wanting a few" as the PFijiug is.
Receipts of sheep show a falling off of
from 2,000 to 3,ooooosnpared with lest week.
The general inurkbt may be quo.cd as
oonsidsrably higher, yet the grewiect ad
vance is on the best tine wooled, clear and
healthy.

New Yoek, Jan. 22.— The bulk
stiffened their backs and opposed
a very creditable front to the
operations of the bears this morn
ing. Notice was given to fill borrowers of
shares that stock would be bought in "un
der the rule" if not delivered this after
noon. Manipulation was al3o tending in
the same direction. The bears were by no
means disposed to yield, ho^evei, and
large room trader? attacked the
market at every opportunity. Up
to th* middle hours the advantage
was about equ.ll divided, with a good
deal of appearance that the bulls
might succeed in Rdvenoiug prices. At
that point they seemed to lose th?ir grip
and the market wilted until the close. The
room traders were quick to take advantage
of the situation and were free sellers of 151
Paul. The weak spot in the market all
day was the Northern Pacific;* and'they
undoubtedly did a great deal to demoralize
the bulls. Northern Pacific preferred at
no time e>hj*ed any strength,
and most of the day was very
weak, and Oregon was equally sick.
There was very good buying of St. Paul
during early hours, and several prominent
houses are talking very bullish on the sit
nation, believing that the market is over
sold; that Mr. Gould lias the ability to turn
it on the short interest, and saying that
when he renlly takes hold he does not let
his stocks fall back. These people point
to the coarse of Western Union, Union
Pacific and Missouri Pacific as exernply
fymg their argument. There was an
active demand for postal telegraph bonds
in New York. An .in junction has been
granted in the "United States court re
straining the Oregon.Navigation company
from issuing new 5 par cent, bonds.
Onion Pacific earnings; the first week in
December decreased $150 000. ;

made for a disastrous run in the morning. At
midnight, to-night, it was made public th*t the
bank would not open in the morning. To pre
vent an attachme • t the bank has asks for the
appointment f a receiver. It is thought that
the deposits will reach over $800000. At this
hoar the streets are lined with excited people.

when the third bill on the house calendar
is reached. This is a bill directing the

what the lower Mississippi people are
after in spite of repeated denials and at
tempts to cover up the main object of thw
improvement under the plans of the river

THE LAHD GSANT BILL.
The honse judiciary cammittee have
given up all the land giant bills referred
to them, and they bave been s«nt to the
committee oa public lands co that com
mittee may have the wnole subjeot under
their control. For several years efforts to
legislate in relation to the forfeitnre of
land grants has b^en rendered futile, part
ly through conflict of jurisdiction between
the judiciary, public lands, and Pacific

The Bub-committeo of accounts, of which

hava found that the investigation which
the house ordered with reference to the
improper removals of employes
promises to extend much farther
than had been expected. They
will ask the house to give the commission
additional facilities to enable them to
proceed. Mr. Tyson, an important wit
ness in the Keifer-Gaines matter, cannot
be found, although he was in the city re
cently. He is said to be in Dakota. It is
reluctantly admitted by some of Mr.
Keifer's friends that the investigation is
likely to result in his humiliation. It is
understood Mr Games will be removed by
the speaker or be allowed to resign
his place as an official stenographer.
THE DEPABTMENT OF JUSTICE.
The further Mr. Springer proceeds with
the investigation of his committee, the
more wide spread and flagrant are the
abuses which have grown up under the
department of justice. The latest rascal
ities exposed are the crookedness of the
district attorney and United States mar
shal of Arizona. Mr. Springer will show
probably to-morrow that each of these
gentlemen ha 6 practiced with great profit
to himeelf the duplication of indictments
and trumping of baseless charges, until it
is claimed that the fees of the marshal's
office alone within the past two years
increased from $6,000 to (30,000 per
annum.
A FAT JOB.
State Senator Ruger, of Chicago, was to
day appointed a special agent of the
revenue department, with headquarters at
Baltimore, Md. The appointment was
made at request of Senator Logan. The
salary is a good one, with a liberal allow
ance for expenditures.
LOGAN AND THE ILLINOIS OOTBBNOB3HIP.
Mr. H. D. Dement has completed his
business here and gone home. Results of
his visit were entirely satisfactory to him
self and the gentlemen he represented.
Mr. Dement denied when he
came here that he had any
political business, but that was a meta
phoric remark. He came as a represent
ative of Gov. Oglesby to find out what
part Senator Logan was going to take in
the governorship contest. There has been
a good deal said about Sen -or Logan
backing Gov. Hamilton in order to beat
Ojjlesby. Congressmen Payson and Hen
derson have been suggested as decidedly
more available than Hamilton for the pur
pose of beating Oglesby. There is an im
pression that talk of Logan's backing the
governor grew mainly out of the desire «f
Hamilton and his friends that he
should do bo. The governor
has entertained very sanguine views of his
chances, and has been very anxious to se
cure Senator Logan as an ally. Friends
of his have written to Illinois men here
and tried to extract from them expressions
favorable to Hamilton's candidacy, but
with litUe success. One of these gentle
men wrote to a mutual friend of his and
G iv. Hamilton thai the latter oould not
possibly get a single vote in the conven
tion from northern or eastern Illinois,
and that he might as well abandon
his ambition to be elected governor at
once. It has also been suggested by
friends of the two gentlemen that an un
derstanding could easily be arrived at by
Senator Logan and the ex senator to the
effect that Logan should not oppose Og~
le-tj's effort to get the governorship, and
Oglesby should throw no obstacles in
the way of Logan's re-nomination. He
had nobody to aid and had no enemy to
beat or obstruct, and he should not under
any circumstances take any part in the
caucus. Same Republican congress
men here say this is the H attitude
they have expected him to take.
Any effort on his part to determine who
i should b9 the Republican candidate for
governor would muke him enemies on one
hind without benefiting; him on the
other; ihat if he should take a hand in the
matter, he would be accused of being a
'"boss" —"a sort of person who is very un
popular at present,"— that instead of
helping it would be a disadvantage to
Gov. Hamilton to have ' it known Logan
was backiug him for a "boss". It is be
lieved Ogleaby has a clear field, and the
strongest man the Republicans could nom
inate. . „ \f" -
THE PENSION LIST.
Schemes for increasing the pension list
and enlarging the scope of existing pen
sion laws are in process of incubation at
both ends of the oapitol. The soldier vote
must be captured next fall, and it looks as
if both parties were disposed to commit
some indiscretion like tha enactment of
the pension arrears bills. Committees of
both branches of congress are loaded
down with special bills for the purpose of
adding to the rolls men who are
debarred by statute, and bills to equalize
existing pensions by. increasing the pen
sions of privates meet with mere favorable
consideration than heretofore. The house
commissioner is obliged to have extra
clerks besides a clerk detailed from ths
pension office to enable them to handle
the bill* referred to them. Commissioner
Dudley had a long conference with the
committee to day and approved
of a proposition for the appoint
ment of a commission to revise the pen
sion law and otherwise facilitate the ob
taining of pensions. The sittings of tha
commission, he said, ought to be beld in
Chicago, Pitt3burg, St. Louis and other
business centers, and if it had power to
send for persons and papers the work
oould be completed ia a month. A bill
for the appointment of snoh a commission
has been introduced by Mr. Mattßon, of
Indiana.

THE KEMUCKY SEJiATORSHIP.
A Vain Effort to Stampede the Leglsl '.tare
for Carlisle—Belief that Williams Will
Win.
[Special Telegram to the Globe, j
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 22.—The deadlock
in the legislature is still unbroken and the
senatorial contest commanded very little
interest. The unsuccessful efforts to spring
Carlisle last night was repeated today in
the joint sossion of the legislature. Sena
tor Clement, who ca3t a vote for him last
night, which under the rules wa9 lost, led
off to-day in the joint session, which is
not govered by caucus rules, and was fol
lowed by seven others, eight votes in all
being cast for Carlisle. Oner
members caused some aruuso
ment but brought no little
ridicule upon themselves by casting their
votes for various persons of some local
prominence. Buffoonery of this character
is regarded 83 injurious to Carlisle, inas
much as it was one of his earnest support

Onondaga Indians üburneduburned the white deg"
yesterday in their council house in the
reservation. Thi-5 eacrifice is annually
made by thi3 tribe of the Six Nations to
propitiate the Great Spirit. Fires were
lighted this morning. Cwo Indian boys
stood outside the council house each al
ternately firing a shot gun, accompanying
the report with a peculiar cry like the
barking of a dog. All the chiefs, braves
and squawa, both Pagan and Christian,
were present decked with feath
ers and gaudy ornaments. The
dead dog was placed in the council
house and the tribe marched around it
three times with weird incantations and
war hoops to invoke tke blessing of the
Great Spirit. The dog was placed in a
stove and burned, while the braves sang
songs and the squaws yelled.

office this evening and a-ked that official
to help her iv collecting rents which ohe
said were due her from every
body in thia region. She innhil
three bulky envelopes, on# addressed to
New York.and the others to Germany. Oue
of the letters was --ddreftsed to Prince Bis
marck. The postmaster says she displayed
a large roll of money when purchasing
the necessary stamp*. She is of medinm
hight, about 40 years old, aud is a rather
homely looking woman. If no on 6 ap
pears to claim rer sbe will be taken care
of by the authorities.
