toKcther with tho prospectlvo Increase of
northwest stocks, kuvo tho wheat market
n push downward at the Htnrt; Mny started
Ho lower at TiTi'S'ie and poon sold oft ti
W!4e. Kitrly ArKcntlno new too, was
rather bearish, and whun milllsh news from
tho same quarter was received and Mltine
npolls IlKlires were corrected, making '
celpls at that point 2i'J cars Instead of 171.
Hhorts lx'ijan bidding. A prlvuto Argentine
cablo declared that rain was Interfering
with harvestltiK and a Hamburg wire said
the Intimated Argentine surplus of tO.nim.eil
bushels was reported, and as this was In
line with the fact that this market has
leached an export basis with Liverpool,
this advance begun by the covering of
fhorts was continued, with the result that
tho market wns llrm nl the best prlco of
the day. Mny closed 'i'dV ov r yo-dird iv

were 1W cars, none of contract grade.
Interest In corn was centered In tie Jnn

o dull and narrow one, with llttlu business
done at tho extremes of price. January
wns Hiring and December Hteudy, because
tho receipts 1.37 cars contnlned no contract
corn. May was steady In sympathy with
thn options mentioned, iiltnnugh Its Inde
pendent tendency was easier, because of
tho good weather nnd freer country offer
ings. Shippers sold moderately at tho
opening against country acceptances. Mnv

lloiid .tliirKet Imirous,
NEW YORK, Dec. 19. -There wan no ap
preciable letup In tho furious activity in
tho stock market today or In the exceed
Ingly broad nnd varied trading. A quick
market wus offered for almost any volume
of stocks and very notable strength con
tinued at various points In the list, but the
burden of the prollt-taklng sales proved
rather heavier than for some time past and
made more general inroads upon prices. Tho
market turned reactionary nt ono time on
violent breaks In special stocks. Tlnplato
wan tho most effective of these when It
suddenly slumped Vt after a show of early
strength. A drop ot II points lu New York
Air Hrako was Impressive In Its way, but
had little effect 011 the market. The reac
tionary tendency of the Junior Vanderbllts
developed that speculators had been taking
rather loo sanguine a view of possible re
adjustments of securities of these com
panies. Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago .t
St. Louis and the New York. Chicago tc St.
Louis stocks fell back heavily, although
somo went up briskly In the morning. An
effort was mudo to reclaim tho bull posi
tion In tho final hour by sudden advances
In Northern Paclllc, Sugar, Illinois Central,
lleueral Electric, tho Chicago Terminal
Transfer und tho Wisconsin Central stocks.
Tho advances In these above, the low point
ran from 2 to G14 points. Prices did stiffen
In sympathy, but tho speculative enthusiasm
was not fully renewed nnd tho market
closed very feverish and unsettled, with n
point or more lost of some of tho sudden
gains. Even the Erie stocks, which havo
been tho real backbone for some days, camo
to a pauso today and the llrst preferred,
nfter rising 2H. reacted 17i. with a frac
tional rally. There have been such reac
tions from top prices many times beforo In
Ih.i nreveiit movement of stocks, nnd tho
.real lack lu today's) market seemed to be
mat me new siocks wmcu are uviiimuiu u
bo rushed up ns sustaining forces In the
market tire growing exceedingly scarce.
Pretty much tho whole list has been ex
ploited lu tho course of tho present specula
tion. , ,
The character of the mnrket, otherwlso
than In these technical particulars, was not
materla'ly changed. Professional operators
are constantly on tho lookout to take the
bear side of the market with the culmina
tion of tho rise nnd they sold freely on tho
short, side today, as they havo done for sev
eral days past, but they nlso covered
largely before tho close. The general bul
lish enthusiasm up to this time has proved
too m.ich for any restraining inlluenco. A
sustained bull movement always means
prosperity for the large stock market con
tingent, whoso trado It Is to operate In
stocks, and coming In the time of tho holl
dav period tho present movement Is espe
cially popular. Tho demands of tho specu
lation upon tho money market havo mado
no Impression yet upon money rates, a de
velopment which would prove tin effectual
check upon excesslvo speculation. London
wns quoted to bo 11 buyer of 6O.0UO shares of
stock on balance today, but the true origin
of tills buying is open to doubt. In view of
tho advancing money market In London and
tho failure of the dealings to nfTect tho
sterling exchange nuirket In New ork. I ho
Initial dealings here In tho stocks which
wero most affected In tho early London
trading were on tin enormous scnle. In
Southern Hallway 12,000 shares changed
hands nt onco at the opening, In Southern
Pncllio fi.OOO shares. In Knnsas &. 'lexns pre
ferred 3.500 shares and In Erlo preferred

of the last week or ten days has started 11
somewhat better business In tho clothing

creased inquiry for wool, but tho amount of
business actually transacted In tho latter
commodity snows no improvement, lu fact
It Is Hllk-htlv less than that of l.'iBt week.
Tho general feeling Is that the volume of
business in tho wool market will bo of
moderato proportions from now until after
1110 turn or tno new year, ainnuinciurcrs
aro biivlmr wool 'only to meet nresslng
wunts, The wool trade, therefore, naturally
anticipates a decidedly Improved demand
for wool nfter tho turning or the year. The
market may bo quoted ns quite steady,
Actually selling nrlces remain unchanged.
The sales or tho week In Roston amounted
to 3,570,ooO pounds domestic and 230.IDO
pounds foreign, making n total of 3,Xl,rio
pounds, ngnlnst a total of 4.712.812 for tho
preilomt week and 11 total of 3.308,uo for tho
corresponding week Inst year. The shIcb

CATTLE Tho sunnlv of cattle today was
very light and as packers nnd yard traders
all wanted a few the market ruled active
and steady to stronger on all desirable
kinds.
There wero only ten or n dozen loads or
corn-fed steers on snlo and tho cholco
handy weight cattlo were picked up lu good
season at stronger prices. In some cuses
sales were mudo that looked 64jl0c higher.
Even th half fat und common stuff was
moro easily disposed of than usual owing to
me ugni supply 01 cume on snie.
Tho cow market wus nlso nctlve nnd
stronger, particularly on tho choice heifers
nnd cows. Everything wns sold In good
season and tho prices that wero paid looked
all of 15320a higher than last week. .Me
dium kinds of cows und canners have
Joined In tho advnnce, though they have
not improveu ns mucn as me ueuer gruues.
Packers ovldently have to hove a few cows
nnd for thoso that huvc been offered this
week thoy have been forced to pay stronger
prices.
lucre wan noi inucn ciuiuku iiuiieeauie
In tho feeder trnde. Good feeders showing
weight sold rcndlly nt steady prices, but
tho tendency Is to buy the light stockers
for less monoy. Tho demand for that class
of cattle from the country Is not very
heavy and ns a result yard traders aro slow
to tuko hold of thorn. Stock calves nre also
n little dull nt present. Stock bulls nro sell
ing nt ruliy stcnuy prices nnu siock cows
and heifers. If tho quality Is satisfactory,
command steady prices.
Tho market on western grass cattle wns
In fairly good shapo today. The steers, If
thoy wero cholco, sold Bteady to strong nnd
cows also sold a llttlo better than yester
day, or 154120c higher than last week. Good,
heavy feeders wero steady and light cattlo
rather slow and weak. Representative

HOGS There was another fairly liberal
run of hogs here today, but the market
opened up a good 2ic higher. Packers bid
ll.iii and $1,7714 for tlio general run of hogs
und for n few of tlio choicer loads $1.80 was
bid. tellers, however, wero holding for
good, llrm prices, and, while tho hogs began
moving toward the scales early lu tho
morning, It was not n particularly active
mnrket, Sellers, however, kept cutting
their strings loose nml but very little
change In thn market wns notlceabio from
start to Mulsh. It may hnve been a trlllo
stronger nt some times than nt others, but
tho bulk of tho hogs sold at $1.75 and
$1,771-!. Practically everything wns sold In
good season.
As will bo noticed from the table of
nverngc prices Jhe cost Is now only n shade
under what It was 11 week ago and nlso

SHEEP Tliero were about a dozen loads
of fat Fheep and lambs on sale todav, but
tho market was at 11 standstill. Puckers
claim that the mutton mnrket is In bnd
shape, as the demand Is very light, as Is
apt to be tho case at this season or the
year. R.iyers seem to havo nlinut 1.11 ii...
supplies thoy want ror tho present and as a
resuu uiey mil coiisiiiernniy lower on to
day's receipts. Chicago camo 154("25c lower
unit that wns about tho situation here.
Sellers wero very Blow about taking oft
that much and ns a result tho market
was very dull.
Tho feeder market did not show much
change, us only a few wero offered, nnd
they were held ut Just about steady prices.
