' Chicago, Dec. 4 The wheat market was ia a condition of collapse to-day. Toe weakness was continuous from the tart until the close and the last bait . hoar presented the most hopeless de moralisation. Yesterday's advance en tirely disappeared when trade began. Long wheat selling was the important leatare of the bnsiness and seeing the state the market was in the bears were encouraged to pat oat considerable on ' the short side. .Liverpool, without the least consideration for our action, de- " dined, and this fact was the leading fac- ' tor in determining the course of Ameri can markets. Mav wheat opened from 8JM3Xc. decMned to 80 e. closing at a0g8tc under yesterday. Cash w neat was weak and closed about 8fc lower. . 1 The paramount Influence in corn was the weakness of . its neighbor wheat. The loss in price was not so great as ia jhe leading market, but the decline was accompanied by quite as much weak nest.

Cash corn sold mi steady prices, but the - nominal tone in that branch at the close "-1 was easy.--" Tne depression of the other .grains found reflection in oats. The trade was of a dull and uninteresting sort, and prices were steady. May oats were &c under yesterday. Cash oats were steady at yesterday's prices. Provisions Hogs 'were on the de scending scale as regards . sympathy ' this morning. The weakness of grain was likewise a consideration. At the close January pork was lHc lower; January ribs and lard each 7c lower. .

By Telegrapff to the Morning Star." Washington. December 4. Secretary of the Interior David R. Francis has submitted his annual report to the Presi dent., ; The appropriations under his depart ment for the last fiscal year amounted to S157.179.658. The estimates for the pre sent fiscal year are about 1 1,000,000 more than was appropriated last year. The actual public domain ia now 1,' 849 078.587 acres. The public lands still vacant amount to over 600 000 acres, not including Alaska. About ' 85 789.751 acres have been patented to railroads and there are yet due . railroads and wagon roads under their grants, an eg eresate of 114.786 689 acres. The total acreage segregated from the public do main was 946 219,160 acres. 'The Secretary dec mi it desirable that bur waste acreage should be taken up by actual settlers who should be given every encouragement, and says if the rate of settlement continues in the future as in the past, but little vacant land will be left in thirteen years time. He urges legislation for the preservation ol the; forests and - states that a report will be submitted to congress by the Forestry Commission which has lately returned from a tour of Inspection Secretary Francis is of the opinion that the free use of timber on public lands for commercial purposes should be dis continued. ' Oa the pension question he says that about 97Q 678 persons are drawing about 8140 000.0(10 per annum in pensions ana this branch of the service should be con ducted with great care and discretion He gives a table showing that the total amount paid put Dy the uovernment tn pensions and the cost of disbursing the same during the last thirty-one years was t2 034,817.769. whica lacks only t3i6.712.fi25 of being equal to the high water mark of the interest-bearing public debt. He suggests a number of amend ments of the pension laws, some oi ilnicb have already been made public. ; One hundred and forty million dol larsts thought to be sufficient for the payment of pensions during the next fiscal year, unless pensions are increased by further legislation. The Secretary recommends that an increase from $800 to tl2 00 per month be granted to all survivors of the Mexican war who are wholly disabled and destitute, The Indians, he says, now occupy about 85 000,000 acres of land, and they should bs protected from the sinister machinations of unscrupulous men. He recommends that the Indian Bureau should be conducted by a commission of three members, two to be civilians of liferent political parties and one an armyofflzer. -; Concerning the bond-aided railways the Secretary summarizes the recom mendations of his predecessors and the result of the litigation. .. He calls atten tion to the fact that the tables he pre sents clearly . show that the Central Pacific Railroad is in default to the Government, or unquestionably will be on January 1st next,' when 13,432.000 additional of its indebtedness, together with thirty years interest thereon, will fall due and must be redeemed by the Government, On January 1st, 1897, 18.640,000 addi tional bonds ol the Union Pacific Rail road will mature, andSwith interest on the same, amounting to tll.95t.000. will be then dueandjf not paid the Union Pacific will unquestionably be in de fault. He: has, therefore, declined to patent lands to the Union Pacific Rail road or to the Central Pacific Railroad, except in cases where it can be shown that tne lands for which' patents are asked have been sold to bona fide pur chasers. "The Central Pacific Railroad was on June 80th, 1896, in default to the Government to the extent of $888,143 on its ' bond and interest" and its "sink ing iund" account, - He refers to the fact that the act char' tering the Nicaragua Canal Company requires the company to make a report oa the first Monday in December in each year to the Secretaty of the Interior, to be verified on oath by its president and secretary. A preliminary statement bad been submitted by the Canal Company, showing that no work has oeen done on the canal since August, 1893. The Maritime Canal Company entered into a contract with the Nicaragua Canal Construction Company for the con struction of the canal, but the latter company became financially embarrassed in August, 1893, and subs quently made an assignment of its construction con tract and all its assets to the Nicaragua Company, a corporation chartered by tne State of Vermont. The latter company "has not yet found itself in a posi ion to resume the work of construction under its contract," - The Secretary wants an extension of the building accommodations for this department. He .closes bis report by saying : "I earnestly recommend that Congress take immediate steps looking to the purchase or condemnation of a block or more of around adjacent or continous to the Interior Department building lor the erection thereon ot an other structure to meet the present ne cessities oi an important branch of the Government which must expand and grow with the development of the country's resources. Tne area of our country, the variety of its products, the diversity of the interests, 'he trade and social relations between localities and classes of people make its internal com merce ot enormous magnitude, and must from time to time necessitate en largement of its existing government bureaus and the establishment ot addi tional ones.'

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Philadelphia, Dec. 4 It is said that Secretary of State Olney has cabled to Madrid the tacts in regard to the steamship Laurada, but the vessel, it is reported here, will be seized on a civil process by the S vanish Govern ment when sue reaches Valencia and a suit will be brought for lortelture against her because of having landed armed military expeditions, dynamite and war material within three 'miles of the coast ofCuoa, in the jurisdiction of Spain. Captain Hughes left the vessel at Messina to-mebt and was succeeded in command by Captain Laps ley, his chief officer, who was formerly master ol the British steamship Czarina. The lat ter has never been mixed up with fili bustering expeditions. It is likely the vessel will remain at Messina until the Department of State decides it is safe for her to proceed. The charterers of the vessel demand that she shall proceed according tothe terms of her charter, as the cargo which is of a perishable character is awaiting her at Valencia and will seize her if she does not comply with the agreement on her return to the United States. The Spanish warship Hernandoz left Gibraltar to-night to assist the authori ties in preserving order in Valencia, so bitter is said to be the leeling .already woiked up against the Laurada.

Dan & Co-in Weir weekly review of trade, say: The classified failures for Novem ber show gratifying reduction compared with October, and are especially impor tant as showing that the peculiar dis turbances during the Presidential elec tion, which swelled values t30.000.000 In August and September, did not prevent quick return to a monthly aggregate scarcely greater than that of 1 May. De faulted liabilities in eleven months bave been 8188738 459. against 1148,544202 lastyar, the increase being only 214.- 000 000 outside of those two months, and this remaining increase of only 10 per cent, was also a part due to the alarm during the campaign. - - ; - The decline ot lailures to abont 40 per cent, of the September aggregate gives stronger ground for the confidence so generally expressed. A ground for con fidence is also found in. the abandon ment of two of the largest combina tions by which the iron industry has been controlled and the possibility that two others will bs abandoned. Such a state of things within a month after the election suggests that these organiza tions, formed when depressed . business tailed to support all the works ia ex istence, are not expected to survive a general revival and ample demand tor products. The immediate effect of break ing prices is to check large buying of iron and steel products, but it will soon be seen about where prices are to range. At present the base price , for wire nails is sa against 65 two weeks ago, with greater reduction on small sizes because new cards reduced extra charges. Beams are selling at tl oo against 81.05 two weeks ago and there are sates of billets below the fixed price. The bar combination is still un dersold by steel bars at 1.1 cents and nothing is doing in rails, because the meeting shortly to be held will settle whether any price shall be fixed for next year. Bessemer pig.Pittsburg, is lower. 11 05, and Urey lorge at tlO. but there is large demand for vessel plates, both tor foreign contracts and for the lakes, Several thousand cars have been ordered and numerous new buildings and bridges.--: The Coke Company has changed its method so that contracts are openly made below prices recently ruling and there is some partition of consumers among the producing interests. Wool manufacturers are waiting, and while more concerns are at work; the new de maod improved but little with favorable weather. .. . . In cotton manufactures there' is little change, though goods are selling better; but with many added works production exceeds present demand. The market for raw cotton is weak. With over 4.750.000 bales in sight by December 1. when the crop is usaally about ha.i in sight, current estimates will leave, only 8,500.(00 more to come forward in nine months, and the larger consumption in mills does not advance prices. The volume of business shown by Clearing House returns was for the past week nearly one per cent, over last year and for the month of November three per cent., and eleven per cent, less than 1893, the comparison being the best for the past five months. t failures for the week bave been 879 in the United States, against 824 last year; and in Canada 55, against 52 last year. j --,r": THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Btportofthe Diraoto of the Mint The Counterfeiting of Sjlvev Coinage. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington. December 4. The re port of R. E. Preston, the director of the mint, shows in .elaborate details the operations of the mints and assay offices during the fiscal year 1896, - together with statistics of foreign, countries rela tive to the production, coinage and monetary condition of each. . The total coinage of gold and silver by the various countries of the world was as follows: Gold, 2231 087.488: silver, 8121,610.219; total, 2352.897 657. The total metallic stock and uncovered paper In the world was estimated on January 1. 1896, to be tlO.938.600.000. The director recommends that author ity be given the Secretary of the Treas- sury to bave experiments made to deter mine the best means of preventing the counterfeiting of silver coinage. At the prevailing price ot silver, the difference between the bullion and the nominal value of our- silver coins is about 100 per cent, and this constitutes great temptation lor the stamping ot such coins by unscrupulous persons, af fording them an opportunity to place in circulation counterfeit silver coins at about 100 per cent, profit as good as those stamped by the mints and which cannot be distinguished from them, even by experts.1 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
