Prices de<:linc-d In consequence. Wheat closed 'A® %c lower. Corn declined V4©'%e. oats, %@ }fee, aid provision* D@7Vic. Considering the llgii ness o! re;Hpts here ami in the Northwest wheat had an easier start than might have been expected. De cember opened unchanged at dS^jißSVfec, and May "tjC lower at S7O*?%C. That taere waa an undercurrent of firmness, however, was ! shown at once. Covering by shorts and buy ing 6 Increase long linta started at once, and though not at all heavy, the demand was j larger than the offering* and an advance took place in both options, December seJl.ug to 1 68% c and May to 67%!&fi7 1 i 4 c. Northwest re ceipts were only 328 cars, compared with 1,039 last week, and 762 a year ago. Chicago j receipts were 131 cars, only one of con ra:-t ! grade. This big failing off was attributed i aitop'-rher to the reoent storm. Liverpool, as I usual, was a factor, but a bear one, as the | %d advance which was chronicled there at I the opening of this market: was a failing off from opening quotations, and was con sidered hardly a full response to yesterday's advance htre. The advance brought out considerable long wheat. There was alto in creased liquidation on accouut of the flatness of the New York market, and conflicting reports regarding the export demand. The result was a slow decline in May to 66%&87 c, and in December tl\^SJ%c. For some l( ime after the umrkH wa« a narrow one. A dispo sition wia Bh<wn to even up over the holi day and the varying moods uf traders tvaus d frequciit, .hough mixlenate changes in value.

Bar silver, New York 60ft 60% Call money. New York 2Vi 2^ NEW YORK, Nov. 23.— There was a dispo sition manifest to curtail operations 00 the f^-k exchange in the early hours of today's session, on account of tomorrow's holiday for one thing, and on account of one or two de pressing influences in the market which of fered obstacles to the successful prosecution of the bull campaign. The snow storm in the West, with us obstruction to traffic and reports of damage to Hva stock, was a dis couragement to advance prices. There was ! rather less as-.-urarsee felt also that -the North (rn Pac.flc ai:d Oregon Navigation imbroglio was to be patched up. and Northern Pacific went downwards. Weakness in a nu:nber of sp<rri<iit;e». notably Tobaco. on reports of the character of the oppi^iiiou In the cigarette branch accentuated the prevailing tendency. FVople't- Gas dropped off a: one time Hi and Federal .> t . el continued to drop. There was a marked fai.ing off in the Atchison preferred, probably by irfluer.ee of the depressing In fluence of other stocks. There was a very bullish spirit latent in the market, neverthe less, and it turned from these centers of do- | pression and from the region of the sno.v i storm to other specialties and the Eastern I railroads. The movement was most markt-d j in the coalers, and had its inception in the ! RwuTng issues. The buying of these securi- j ties was attributed to the banking Interests ] which yesterday advanced Southern preferred and which is dominant in Northern Pacific and has important interests in Federal Steel. How far y©?:< rday's manipulation of South ern preferred and today's of the Reading se curities is designed to sustain the weak spota elsewhere in the, common interests of the manipulator can oi;Iy be a matter of sur mise. There was no n'ewg to account i'or the mo\enifnt in Reading, but the other coalers, in wnlch the &hort interest is per.nnlal and extensive, responded sharply In sympathy, the demand coming for the most part from the shorts. There was a very active demand for the ' greater r>art of the day for Manhattan, the ! new Interest in thp dire< v tory being generally Interpreted as representing the inauguration of new nuthode. There was a very wide lat itude givfn to the interpretation. Wall street guesses extending as far as an absorption of elevator system for joint operation with the New York Central.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York, Nov. 23.— The Eve-ning Posts London financial ca blegram says: "The stoik market here ws.3 generally firm today, but less active, tartly due to the miserable weather. The conti nental bourses were also less interesting. Americana were decidedly good, although the support was still more confined to New York. Prices dosed under the best." WALL STREET GOSSIP— New York stock gwsip. reported by H. Holbert & Son. bank ers and brokers. S4l Robert street, National Garman-American Bank building. St. Paul: Post & Flagg wire us: The early hours to day were marked by uncertainty, with a mixed but generally drooping market, many weak holders preferring to sell their stocks rather than take the risk of carrying them over the next four day;, in which only one Is a full business day. This selling was not. very heavy, and was o,nly by the very Ught waisted variety of speculators. Toward aft ernoon the market commenced to improve, and In the !a t hour cr s-o it fairly boomed under the leadership of the coal stocks and Manhattan. The former were strong in the morning, on what appeared to be covering of short contracts, but In the afternoon tha buying was largo and confident, being ac companied by rumors of an impending deal In these properties. Exactly what the na turo of this rumored deai Is we have been unable to discover as yet, but it is a well known fact that the Morsran-Vanderbilt In terests have by degrees been getting a'l the anthracite coal properties under their cou troi, until now they have representation In practically every one of these properties. Manhattan wa,s strong on the best of buy ing, and it looks as if this property would go eonsidsiabk- higher.

JS.— The American Woo! and Cotton R&porter ■will say tomorrow of the wool trade: "While the burtn«ss of the past week foots up a siaailer aggreg*te than that of the previous weric conruiaers are manifesting considerable Interested In the market. They realize that woool Is cheap, and it is not diffleTilt to tell anything which would ordinarily be consid ered 'a good trade.' Prlc«e remain veTy low and ther« !» no indication at present that higher price* will be obtained; indeed sales of fine cashed fleeces have been made at slightly lower figure* than have been previously auoted. The situation does not by any means present an unhealthy a*p*ot. and if the next heavy weight season starts in aa Well as Is expected there may be a decided improvement to record In the next wool market. The sales of the veek in Boston amount to 3.324.000 lbe .lom«6t!c and 651,000 lbs foreign, malting a tolal of 8.8^.000 against a total of 7.925.000 tor the previous week. *sd a total of 4,616,600 for the oorrespondlcf week last ye*r.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. India is pre-eminently the land of mystery, and our most advanced ma giaians have never bern able to repro duce all their marvelous performances. One day in the market place of an In land village I saw a curious perform ance. It was oandix-ted by two nun— one old and emaciated, carrying a nmtivc drum; the other young and welJ fed, farctaatiosUy gowned with an over&kirt of colored handkerchiefs and i a multitude, of beils, which jang:ed i m>isly at h:« eligrh'tfst movenunt; long ragged halr-^aJ together a hideous fix- ! ure. The drumraer besain a weird tom i toming, and the other man an incan j tation; then he extended a "supra" — a I bamboo tray used by all natives— on ! i which any one who pluares places a j j large handful of rice, and the same j ■ quaiUlty of giain. The two l-ngiedlems I are thoiougrhly amilg'amated, so that i it wouid, in the ordinary way, take j hcurß to separate them. Now the fantastic maai with hia tray ! ; btirir.s. He turne around elowly, grad"- ; ually Quickening his pace (the drummer ! aleo keeping time), faster and fa&ter ' In a giddy vortex, the tray at times ! almost out of hto hands, yet so cleverly ! handled that not a grain falls out. It ! is very trying to watch, but In a couple j of mSniEtes both stop simultaneously, i and the man shows to the wondering ' spectators two little h€«,ps, one of rice i and the other grain, at different ends jof th© tray, which in his sickeni-ng i gyrations he has been able to separate by same extraordinary manipulation. Later It was my good fortune to be I able to witness one of thoee remarkable coses of voluntarily su*pemded anima tion of which I had so frequently heard, with a somewhat dubious smile I am afraid. But I am convinced now. It wag called a "Joghee" perform ance and took place before the Maha rajah of Dhurbanga, whose guest I had the honor to be. The ''Joghee" was put by his disci ples into a trance. He become perfect ly unconscious and dead to all appear j ance?. An English doctor present felt i his pulse and found it had ceased, and I a looking glass showed not the slight est moisture of any breath In the body. The "Joghee" was put into a coffin, the lid scr&wed on, and seals were im pressed on It with the Maharajah's signet ring. The box was buried five feet deep, earth thrown ln and well stamped. Grain was then sown and trusty sen tries guarded the place. The grain had sprouted and borne j corn, when we were invited again, af ; ter sixty days, to witness the resur rection of the body. The gTave was opened, and the coffl nfound to be In tact. The seals were broken, the lid unscrawed, and the "Joghee" was tak en out stiff and stark. His disciples now began to manipulate the body and to go through certain rites, very simi lar to mesmerism, and by degTees the dead man opened hte eyes, a quiver ran through bia body and he sat up erect.
