CHIPACJO , Dec. 13. The b ars had mil-
terg their own way In the grnln pit today ,
wheat showing a decline of ' ,4c mid corn
nnd oats tolling lower than they were ever
known to bo before. The northwestern re
ceipts of whuat were heavier nt 8S ) cnrw ,
compared with 936 cars a week , ago nnd
429 cara a year ago. That had little In
fluence In favor of the bears , and some re
ports concerning the probable export sur
plus from the growing crop In Argentine
became a bearish factor later In the day.
Later still the report that stocks far the
week at Minneapolis nnd Duluth would on
Monday be found to have Increased 2,200tOJ
bu. brought more grist to the bears' mill.
Homo heavy selling , perhaps , l.G'W.twO. ' bu. ,
tald to be for the linn which has been re
cently suspended for bucket shop alllllln-
tlons , was a prominent feature of the day's
transactions , and rumors were current In
the pit that the wheat so sold was part of
n line of 1,000,00) bu. which belonged to
ono of the partners of the linn. St. Louis
ent n message faying that red winter
wheat , which was quoted worth 71c there
yesterday , could be bought this morning
for Cfic , Mny opened hero from Clo to ClVio
nnd fluctuated during the forenoon between
COVc to 00c and Glide. After that the
heavy selling began to linvs u more telling
effect , nnd about half an hour from the
end of the session thu price was down to
C0',4c , ut which llgure It closed.
The day's business In corn amounted to
n considerable total , nnd the trading was
largely conllned to the Alay delivery. New
low price records wcro made , May corn
getting down to from SS ic to 28V4c. The
amount of thu day's decline would not
bo considered of any material consequence
except for the fact ( hat previously prevailing
prices were \unprt \ > i-edentedly low. The
Immensity of the crop has apparently
caused a general desire to keep oft the
long side of the market , nnd left to them
selves , the bears seemed disposed to discount
zsro. Patten Uros. and John V. llarrctt
& Co. were rather heavy sellers. The
former disposed of probably 100,000 bu. May
opened at 2S1ic , sold down to from 2Sic
to 2i6c. ! nnd closed at 2S'.5c ' bid.
Another "lowest" price was established
In the oats market , but there was little
activity. Thongs were felling out some of
their holdings und shorts were covering to
some extent a general evening up all round ,
F. O. Logan was quite prominent as n
free peller. but no one clso distinguished
hlmsolf. The feeling early in the day
was slightly firmer , duo to a good demand.
The close , however , found values > &c un
der where they closed yesterday. Mny
started at from 19)ie to 19Tsc , und closed
there.
Provisions started firm and advanced a
llttlu , but only a small fraction of the- addi
tion to prices WUB maintained. Smaller re
ceipts of hogs than had been looked for
started Homo buying , but when a slight de
gree of firmness had boon secured the
packers fed out as much as buyers could bo
found for without materially lowering the
price. 1'ork had a gain of 7V4c at one time ,
but closed unchanged for .January and Be
higher for May. Lard had a iyc bulge a'so ,
but retained only 2' c of It , Illbs rested
.with 2'Ac additional.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow nre :
Wheat. IKO cars ; corn , MO cars : oats 120
cars ; hogs , 22,000 head.

auction closet ! weak , except on light , line stock ,
on which American competition secured an od-
vance. Tlm llooton market Is very dull , though
fairly llrm , especially on wash-,1 fleeces. The
best lot of new clip Australian , 203,000 Ibs. , was
sold hero this week at current ratei. Ameri
cans have only purchased 40,0(10 ( bales In Aus
tralia to date , scarcely more than an nvctago
under old conditions , The clip Is poor , and
competition for good lots Is too brisk to en
courage free purchasing. The promised boom
In American wcol goodsls llnltenlng out , as far
ns men'ti wear Is concerned. Makers of over
coatings shown nt advanced prices have been
set back to last year's price , nnd no advance
has been seemed as expected on clay diagonals.
The sales of the week are Z..W.iOO Ibs. domestic
and 829.000 Ibs. foreign , against 1.6)0 ) , ) Ibs.

NKW YORK , Doc. 13. It. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade , which Issues to
morrow , will say : It hns been n very qnlct
week , without nny disturbance. Prices of
manufactured products slowly recede from
the high water mark of speculation mid no
material Increase In demand Is now expected
until after the holidays , but there Is KCII-
cral confUlonco that great activity will then
appear mid that woiks which have stopped
a little earlier than usual wl'.l Again be
called Into operation. The government crop
report caused scarcely n ripple of Interest ,
though Indicating 6-lob,000 bales loss of cot
ton and a larger ucroaKO than had been
expected of winter wheat. The --real supplies of
cotton brought over fmni previous years rentier It
unimportant whether the yield ot ISM were 7,000-
i > or nooo l bales , except as nffectlntf future
Planting , nn.l the nrtcnsUc organizations of
planters K keep back , their cott i deprives Binnll
receipts of their natural Inlluenue. Whether ftom
that cause or not , rrcelptn luive lecently been
over 40 per cent smaller than last year , but Ink-
IJIRS of spinners nnd exports nre nlso smaller.
The price rose 3-16 and closed nt 8.M cent- * .
Wliwil continues tj conic forward no mpUlly
that past estimates of the yield , whether oillcl.il
or linolllelnl , are discredited , Western it-it-lpls
wen(1.003,404 ( bimhels for the week , against
3-I'M.Gil ' bushels last year , while Atlimtlc exports ,
Dour Included , were but 1,846.353 bushel * , ncalnst
: , . " . ! bushels lint year. At current prices It
seems Improbable that nuiketliiK has been out
uf proportion to tlm ylelil , nnd priced for the
wi-ek show little clianxe. *
Iron furnnees In blast December 1 turned out
210.737 Ions ww-kly , against 217,306 tons Novem
ber 1 , with nn Increase of S.DOO tons In stocks un
sold. Hut nctunl consumption Is much smaller
than the output nt present , nnd prices nun In de
clined , No. 1 anthracite to H3.IW , Ilenicmcr plt
nt rittsburir to 112.60 and ( jrey forsc to $12. Kin-
Ishetl products nre weak nnd sell below limita
tion * , though quoted prices avenue ? nlout half
of 1 per cent lower for the week. Heavy
orders by the Rockefeller Interests for plates nnd
other material to build vostcls for transporta
tion of Mesaba ore 'm-jtt year have HtretiKth-
oneil the tnaikot somewhat , but the demand at
the cast In very llRht , nnd most of the works
have shortened force considerably , while nt IMtts-
bur structural forms , plates , sheets anil pipe
are In llRht demand , ami some bar mills In the
valley have shut down for want of ordeis.
HlKher prices nre expected for ore and coke , and
It IH believed this will cause an upward turn In
Iron.
Copper Is much demobilized , with law sales of
lake at SlQ.no. Lead Is lower at M.27',5 ' , and tin
lower nt $13.8.1 , with Increasing visible supply.
Wool bus not advanced with L-md-.n sale * as
wa expected , nnd 5.530,000 pounds have been
sold , 2.303,700 forelfin. against 5,471,300 pounds In
the name week of 1 < 92. 'of ' which 1,413,500 were for
eign. Th slow market for dry goods hinders

ness yet at about Iftst year's prices In low
grades , nnd the largest maker of clay worsteds
line reduced prices lei those of last year since
the opening. Uuslness In cotton has not gained
and print clotha nre lower nt 3Vi cents , while
a few more reductions nre noted In prices of
other ( foods. The manufacturer has had n highly

NKW YOHK , Dec. U. The Industrials prac
tically constlluted tinlay's market , nnd Irregu
larity Jn the movomenls was quite a fealute. The
entire deallnus aggregated only KO.OiW shares.
The dealings In Leather pioferird llgurcd for one-
third of this nmount , and nildliii ; the transac
tions In Sugar , Tobacco and Chicago Oas would
leave only 73,000 shnren for the oilier securities.
Covering of shorts was the chief stimulus to the
sx > culatlon. The Initial prices were Irregular on
n light \n1utne of prices. A declining tendency
soon developed. Haltlmore K Ohio was ngaln
conspicuously weak , dropping 2i ! per cent on
selling for both accounts. The consensus uf
opinion In conservative circles I. * that In view
of the persistent and singularly dellnltu attacks
upon the credit uf the company the iiiatiagpnient
should content Itself with vnguc Ki'iicrnllzlng de
nials. In the general market a tlrmer tone l -
cam'e evident before the end of the Hint hour
and n strong rally started tinder th < > leadership
of Leather. Thill stock rose 2 psr cent nnd the
preferred 5it per cent , both retaining the Im
provement nt the clone.
The strength In the stocks named Inspired sym
pathetic advances In the other tmlustilals , ex
tending to 2 i r cent In Tobacco. Covering by
belated shorts In Manhattan resulled In a gain of
114 l r cent. The movements in the stnnunrd rail
way shares were conllned to fractional limits. A
report which wna In circulation to the effect
that the long expected agreement between the
Panama Hnllruad and Pnclllc Mall companies had
been actually signed by President Simmon * * nnd
Huntlngton caused nn advance uf about a ivolnt In
the stock of the last mentioned company , which
was subsequently lost uixin the publication of
denials. Long Island Traction moved up 2'/4 ' per
cent on the report of the purrhnso of the prop
erty at foreclosure sale by the reorganlJiatlori
committee. Huylng net down to Huston accounts
caused n rlao In that stock of 3 per cent. On
the other hand. Cleveland , Loiralno & Wheeling
attracted attention by n break of 3',4 ' per cent ,
nnd ix later rally of nearly na much. The * move
ments were unexplained. Consolidated Oni sold
up 24 ! per cent to 1CHJ , the best price of the
year , on the reiteration of rumors of consolida
tions , stock dividends , etc. The nnal price , how
ever , showed only a fractional Improvement over
yesterday. The market closed moderately nctlvo
and strong In tone and at general gains. The
market for railway and miscellaneous bonds
ruled tlrm nnd higher on transactions aggregating
11,433,000. The mute Important changes were : Ad
vances Daltlmoru & Ohio Southwestern Ists , 3
per cent ; St. Louis & San Francisco consol 41 * ,
3V5 per cent ; Chicago & Noithem Pacific ( Inn
trust receipts , St. LDUls Southwestern 2Js nnd
Union Paclllc sinking fund 8s , 1A per cent. The
chief decline was In Wisconsin Central ( list trust
receipts. 3iJ per cent.
The Evening Post's London flnanclal cable
gram : Investment stocks were strong today , but
speculative markets were Irregular. Americans
were good on the Denver & Illo Ornndo dividend.
Prices closed a shade Under the best , llnltlmore
& Ohio was Hat. There was a heavy fall In
mines , which closed at the lowest quotation , the
continent selling. The position appears to be
that various Paris und Vienna ( Irms who were
helped over the settlement nnd had their ac
counts carried here have received nn Intimation
that differences must be met or the accounts
will be closed , hence the heavy forced sales. The
general settlement reveals a small account with
light contnngocn , Americans about 3 per cent. At
Paris the bourse was weak hut active. At Herlln
tlm stock market was steadier , but Idle.

CATTLE Receipts Icll considerably short
of yesterday's mark , only scventy-slx fresh
loads belli * * : reported In ths yards. The
market on killing cattle was In a little
better condition.
The offerings of beef steer- were llshl
and there was nothing In the yard * eqt'al
In point of quality to the Jl.GO cattle sold
here yesterday. The conditions were nil
favorable to the gelling Interests , light re
ceipts , fair demand mid encouraging re
ports from other maikcls. As n result th °
market was steady to a 'little stronger , mid
In some cases salesmen reported that they
got lOc more for nuch cnitle as especially
took the buyers fancy. While the feellu * ;
wim better , the trndo was not particularly
active , and salesmen who did not happen
to have Just what Hie buyois wanted found
It slow work unloading.
The offerings of cows and heifer * con
sisted of about flflesn to twcntv loads. The
ft'ellng was n little better , nnd good'cows
and helfets sold at strong prices. The Irfw
desirable tirades wcro no more than steady.
The market was reasonably active and thu
offerings were pretty much cleaned up and
In good season.
LUht stock cattle were r.ot quite KO plen
tiful today as they have been , but there
wore more heavy feeders. The maiket on
that kind of cattle did not show miy ma-
tetl.il chnngu from yesterday. The demand
was not large , but It was about equal to the
supply , and the closa of the market found
thu cattle In first hands about all sold.
The decline on fat cattle has caused a
gradual fall In the values on feeders. The
market from day to day has not shown
much change , but If comparisons are made
with last week It will be noted that prlcos
are not the same. It la snto to say that
prices on heavy feeders nre all of 25c lower
than last week. Representative sales :
