Tliu now * wns decidedly - ly against tliotii nnil they were compelled to retire before thoonsluuxhtot the bulls. 'llio enthusiasm nt tlio end of the session ycstcr- flay by the houvy decrease shown In the visi ble Htiputy report was carne I over to this morning nnd reinforced by uddltlonnl bullish flumes. The amount of wheat on ocean pies- rig J decreased dur'ng the week byl,5Hnoo ! bit. ! ttio world's BI pniontilcereiisod liyiUl'.OJO bit. during the snmo time The receipts In the northwest were very light ! cables were strong. Liverpool being ( | iiotod 4Md higher , and I'urls BOoup , with domestic markets stronger. A bullish government winter wlioal crop review was expected on Thursday and the export clearances were large , aggregating 1.3151'iUO bu. from the BIX ports-New York , Ilaltlniore , Phlliidolplila , Uoston , Now Orleans and Mon treal. About the only crumb of comfort the boars had was a dlnpiitch from Now Vork s.iylng thnta London house had resold tliolr holdings at a reduction of Is perqutirlercurgo of wheat bought for export. There wns but lltto dis position to toll , whllo shorts wore nervous and iipprelirnslvo nnd disposed to cover. Cud- uliy was understood to bo u largo buyer to cover shorts. and while I'nrdridgo bought some early , ho was generally thought to have ukcihltlmck later at soir.u loss , llo talks bearish still , however , and denies covering except when ho gets Rood scalps. Mitchell , iiogtui , Ilaxter. Harry Lester. Norton & Worthlnnon nnd Kcnnelt-llopldiis were nil Rood buyers. Hole on nnd other provision men bought a peed deal of wheat , which was understood to bo for Oiiduhy. May opened nt from Clligc in IW'io ugnlnstli ? > ? ic nt the eioso yesterday but some rather heavy longs who had goon prollls in their stulT proceeded to roill/r. ; thulr Kaics hronklng thci market to Mc. ) When this pressure wns removed , however - over , the tnarkot rebounded to UUUoi then It gagged on' to Mc , lluotuated treciueiitly within n n rrow range , weakened In the last hour under hammering by the bears and free realizing sales anil touched ! Jj uguln , This wns followed by another rally toU.l'/ic. tlion weakened again an'l closed at PU'sC. ' Late cables were all higher with the single excep tion of Antwerp. The enrly London cables Bhouo'i n decline of Is on cargoes , but ibis was evidently nn error as the lalo advices noted 3d ndviince from yesteiday Corn WIIB fairly nctlve , strong and higher. The receipts weie 3.18 cars but Included only ' - ' ! > ears of contract. Shorts were uneasy , partly from the pcor Inspection mid pnrtly from the strong tone In wheat. Operators covered freely though the selling was restricted. A further decrease In the already small stocks In fitoro here , was also a strengthening factor. The trading In December wns very lluht and WIIH tempered by a realization ot the fact that. there may be n very light tqucczc In It , before the month Is ended. In fact this condition of atralrs Is IlKoly to extend Into moro remote futiiies unless the Inspection Improves ma terially. The shorts are beginning to reallru this fnct and are Inclined to cover their deals In all futures. The result of It all Is a strong market , Decem ber opened nt 477 c , touched 47ic , hold steady for n time then budged to ! ) ? , ; , weak ened to 4S'jc. advanced to 48 , ' < o and closed Uc lower.

The provision trndo appeared to bo badly mixed most of the ( lav. The nmrkvl started with a soi t ot bound because the hogs nt the yards wsre half the estimate at 9.V.OO head , n nil prices were lUo higher. The offerings were quite free at the advance nnd pi Ices went back to the closing llgures of Monday. Later dispatches from the yards reported heavy hogs ilio up at $1.1.1. This was 9.-JC hlvlior In two days and cut the prollt of pack ers materially. On this showing thn price of pork went ai-uln to the best point of tlio morn ing. 1'ncliorB bought back pork and ribs sold early.

As Liverpool was higher for the same wheat It was believed that London quotations wcro an error. The decrease on ocean passage of three and one-halt mil lions comlnt on the heels of a sur prisingly largo docrcnso In our visible supply was really a strongly bullish factor , with largely diminished receipts In the north west. Of course tlio latter wns attributed to llio Interference with railroad tralllc by the bllzznrd , but a ? reduced receipts have for some tlmo been predicted , traders worn In clined to glvo them duo consideration. There wns a wild feel ng on the curb , May Rolling at WUc , hut the regular opening Was at about ODUo. OITcrlngs were liberal nnd the price soon dropped loWe Wo , but shorts showed much nervousness and tha market had several sharp spurts. Apparently a good dent of long wheat came on ton thn rallies and the close was onsv at nearly bottom prices. The altitude of u big short Is closely watched , It Is believed ho will bo forced to cover If conditions should con tinue bullish for n few days , lint the short In terest has no doubt been greatly reduced. A good many traders are long for a turn and It would seem rather doubtful If the market can go much higher at picsont. U tuny bo Hint the government report ou the condition of wheat , which Is expected soon , will alTcct the market UUo the Russian ukase. Immediately following that prohibitory measure there wns a Ilttlo spurt , but subse- H'lcntly ' the market declined over flc per bushel. It Is a good time to keep nu.ir shore and have one's eyes open. In both corn nnd oats there wns a good trade at higher prices. Clearances were larger than usual. Export demnnd excellent und receipts only moderate. Country holders ap- irirently fool conlldont that prices will bu at least maintained and are not pushing their grain to mnrkot as freely us expected. A holding back policy at this time , when the de mand Is ur cut anil the visible supply grow ing smaller will be likely to result In higher price * . Hut the grain Is In thu country nnd when thu rush is In full tide , though this may bo delayed mouths , we sliill sco lower prices. Provisions have been sluggish , advancing early on moderate receipts , but closing o-isy. Cable advices not bolui'encouraging for holders a goo I upturn seems nut far uwuy , but the market Is slow to STOCKS .itfit ituxna. NEW Vottic. Dec. 8. The market today acted moro like a genuine lui'l ' market than It has for some time , but there \vas \ one weak spot and that was the Gould shares , especially Western Union , That the Vandorbllts are ranged on thosldoot higher llgures , the course of these stocks seems to leave Ilttlo room for doubt. Lotr.lon did not do much today but there wcro no soiling orders of Importance from that center as far us could bo seen , but the west was again a buyer to some extent of Its favorites , though with the exception of Chicago gas , none of them was prominent In the dealings and the rostof the general list rose only small fractions. The Industrials were again remarkable for strength and whllo sugar advanced on the report of the Increase In the dividend It receded again on the declaration at tlio usual amounts. Dis tillers , howovor. was very active n I decid edly strong , scoring the largest pain for the oay. Thoouoiilug was quiet nnd linn , nnd whllo tlio markets displayed a disposition to ad v.ur c , It was mot In thu early trading by a continuation of the pressure upon Mlssour- nnd Northern 1'uclflo proferrjd which , on the former , occasioned a loss of 1 per cent. The decline made no further progress , however , and while Western Union became the weak sister the rest of the list broke away from It nnd prices steadily mounted , tliough only In the few hrocks mentioned wns the Improve ment of nuy pnrUc'iilnr importniicc. Even Western Union closed with only a fractional loss. C.mada Southern was a soe- clal feature.
