VISITING STOCKMEN TRADE EAGERLY Tim PHa, rioor nnd tin" Onllnr'lpn of floor ij Crondcd ttUIi 5ncc tntora find Jfpron Intor. CniCAOO, Dr S.-Hoomlnc bull enthtis laem, tho iiravtoBl transactions In over a yinr In all pits, record prices In grains and havy prolltn for tlte fortitnntn pollers, those wero thn charnctcrlallc features of tmnl jienK on thn Board of Trade today. Tho t:razo for much buying, which began to pliow Itself a'CHtrrday, wan prmpna again at tho opening nnd was iiiigmrnted on every hnnd ah thn (session advanced. Tho pits, the, flour and the ftnllerlcs of tho board wero crowded with fpfct.'itors and fpentilatorn, largely vlnlthiK Htockmcn, all eauerly trad ing Advances in wheat wero lJ4c and l'jc In corn and l'to In oats. I'rorit-taklnc on an enormous scale, however, took much of tho strength from tho markota and Decem ber wheat closed only Uft-'io UP. May wheat Uc up and December corn ifjTo higher. May corn kTio higher and May oats Vifl-c advonoed. I'rovlalona closed U'ittSSc up. H'JTcat, ns yesterday, seemed to bo In most demand, though It held poorly. A general bull movement, regardless of tho usual Influencing conditions, scorned to con trol transactions. Tho country side seemed to have arisen ns on man and rushed to this mart to buy. Not since the present bull campaign began havo brokers and commission people been 'pressed to hnndle npeoulativo orders as they have today. No man or firm was big enough In the perfect storm of business to bo "prominent" In the pit. OffBrlngs, which wero vary liberal at tho very start, wore absorbed ns so much water In a sponge. News In Itself was not very bullish. Cables showed very llttln re fponso to yesterday's, feeling here. Iocnl and northwestern receipts wero Rmall Mid rhiwed a gtmliml decrease. But primary receipts were rather liberal and clearances wero not large. Outside markets, however, did show a bltr Increase. Prices for all options were well advanced at tho opening nnd.Iu tho whirl of trado tremendous profit taking by big manipulators was disregarded until thoro was such n volumo of It that It could no longer bo neglected. Iluslness was estimated to ho high un Into millions of bushels. Gradually the decline caraj and with it snmo slight lull In trade. December opened HffVic to Vj4c higher at "oWSiMic, sold up to "BHB'SN.c. sagged off to ,5',4c and closed firm. io up, nt 75Hc. May opened HflUo lilghor at "OHffWc. advanced to the record price for tho crop, 60?e, sank bick to "914c anil, reacting Bllghtly, closed llrm, Uo P. at "'Jc. Iocal receipts were E5 cnr, none of contract grade. Minne apolis and Duluth reported "01 cars, making a total for tho threo points of 73 cars, uralnst 008 last year. Primary receipts wero l.frtS.tmn hu., compared with 6S8.C0O last year. Seaboard durances In wheat and flour oqualed 45D.00O Int. Natural conditions, backed up by tho strong bullish speculation hold corn well up and tiio best advances of any of tho pits. Cables were strung, tho cash demand was llvolv und tho conntry nt largo wanted tho cereal badly. Outsldo markets are con stantly buying corn nt prlceB .considerably above this innrket and prommcnt traders hold that Inasmuch ns Chicago holds tho big majority of old corn stocks the coun try must como to this market to buy. And buy It did. Ah In wheat, buying orders csmo In on nil sides and sent prices up to new record prices. Tho general rnngo was lirarly 1c over yesterday and tho bigger jiart of this was firmly hold. In this nit nlso big realizing for prollts was under way, hut tho effect was hardly apparent. December opened 1ft Hit! to WtC Up at MS" to lHc. sold to tAVn: sagged back and closed firm. Vl'" "P nt 61,-c- M,l' "turtod In spurts, 't'aU' higher Ht 67VJEfsc, sold to G8J4, reacted nnd closed utlll strong, Hft-Tic lip at 6Tifft!7it. Ileuelpts wore 111 cars. Tho unrly tnidu In outs was heavy, with a' very nctlvo demand on tho part of com mission houses. Shippers also bought freely und frightened shorts rushed to cover. Ac ceptances wpro small, tho shipping demand fair, tho cash situation still strong. A 1,-reut dOHl of realizing for good profits by prominent longs depressed prices toward the close. May opened higher nt 45i,ig45l,4c, advanced to 4tHic -a now record price re acted and closed 11 nil, '.ttWio up at 45c. TtprelntH wnrn 107 cars. Provisions ruled llrm all day, aided by light recelptH of hogs, tho strength in gains und good country buying orderH. As In other pits, realizing for prollts brought an t-asler fcollnir. but tho close was strong.

NEW YORK, Dec. B. Tho upward move ment In stocks, which gained some force yesterday afternoon, came to an end this morning in faco of thn realizing by specu lative pools that have nurtured the advance in the prominent stocks. Tho average level of prices at tho close will be seen to bo lower than Inut night. The selling of stocks grow notably less as tho day proceeded nnd the mnrket sank Into extreme dullness nt tho low level, The loss thus far this week to the sub-treasury of J5.874.000 serves ns u warning note to the optimists on tho money outlook. New York exchnngo at Chicago fell to 40c discount today. On the International exchange side there was nn easier tone In the sterling mnrket todsv, but rontlnentnl exchnngo hardened. Money was In ae.tlvo demand In Iondon to pay the Installment duo on thn British loan, tho prlco of gold ndvnticcd and a stiff money rate Is expected there for the rest of the year nnd Into Jnnunry. Tho private discount rate rose in Paris today and tho sterling rate there receded further. Tho possibility of further gold exports next week Is thus foreshadowed.

'1 lie bulk of the offerings consisted of butcher stock, fat steers and feeders being very scarce. Tho limited offerings of corn-fed steers brought buyers oat early and there wns lively competition, particularly for tho bet ter grades. The general market could safely bo quoted strong to a dime higher and In a good many cases sales were mnde that looked n good deal higher. That was owing to the fact that packers had to havo the cattle und ns n result they paid good prices In order to get them. Practically everything In the yards wns disposed of In good season. . , Although the bulk of the offerings con sisted of butcher stock the cow market wss active and higher. Tho better grades were easily strong to a dime higher. Tho medium grades and canners did not show much change, but still they moved more freely than they have for the last several days. Bulls nlso sold at good strong prices where the quality was at all good. Veal calves and stags could bo quoted strong. There wero only a few stockers and feed ers 011 the market this morning, so that sollors hnd no difficulty In getting good steady prices for anything at all desirable. Tho common kinds, though, were neg lected, the same as usual. There were very few westerns In the yards this morning, but it Is safe to quote beef steers of good quality strong and nc tlve.

Tho market opened 10016c higher with tho prime heavyweights sell lug from J6.I5 to $6.20. The medium weights sold largely from J6.00 to K10, butcher weights from $.tw to $6.05. ami tho light hogs from 16.00 down. It was not an active market, however, ns buyers nnd sellers wero far apart In their views, und ns a result It wns late before many hogs changed hands. It wns evident that the packers wanted the hogs, but they did not like to pay tho prices nsked. Most of tho hogs that sold on the opening innrket were bought by shippers. Representative sales: The Inst end of tho market was very slow nnd weak. The bulk or tho late sales went from J6.TO to 6.ff.. so that today's general market Is right around n dime higher than yesterday's average. At noon there wero still a good tunny hogs unsold, but they wero mostly the light weights. Represent- ntlve sntes: No, A. Stl Pr. ISO.

SeverAl millions of dollars have, already been expended by railway companies In converting their old enginoa Into oil burners, In buying new machines whloh burn It, and this shows that able, experienced men, who nro on tho ground and know much of tho prospecttvo permnnence of tho oil supply, nto not afraid to back their Judg ment on that point. And If It can bo burned economically and with general satisfaction as compared nlth coat In tho furnaces ot rnllrond engines It can llkowlso be burned In tho furnaces ot other engines nnd In thn hundred nnd one places where economy of fuel Is n serious consideration. Tho whnlo of the Texan rail roads, all of tho roads lending Into the stats nnd as far north an Knnsns, are fitting their fireboxes for the oil consumption. Tits cheaper fuel Is finding Its way Into the family fireplaces, to the public benefit. Did you over hear of a cheaper article that was also a better article that did not rapidly replace a dearer nnd poorer one? That Is just tho relation between oil nnd coal.
