CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Lato bullish condi
tions! supplemented by a renewal of fears
for crops because of tho cold weather,
brought somo small activity in othcrwlso
dull grain markets today and May wheat
closed -7ic ut), May coni a higher and May
oats Uo aJvanced. Provisions closed un
changed to 'Mo up.
Early conditions In tho wheat pit wcro
boarlth, tho cablo list was lower, outsldo
Markets weak nnd thcro was still a marked
influence from yesteduy's vlslblo Increase;
report. Northwestern receipts wero small
nnd thero was a fear that tho cold weather
und continued scarcity of cars would work
ugalnst tho movement, but thero was Uttlo
Inlluonco from theso facts, on theso In
tlunnccs, a very dull Hhow for business,
May opened Hlflo to a shade lower at 794P
7V',t,c Thcro was little to bo had at this dip
(i ml on a small outsldo demand and Homo
nhort covering prices grudually advanced.
Then camo tho roport of greatly decreased
primary receipts and a very, small not In
crease of tho world's vlslblo supply. This
latter factor, taken together with a report
of n marked decrease In European stocks,
worked against yesterday's vlslblo supply
roport and prices began to pick up. Shorts
Jlfcamn worried and on a, report that tho
Kunsas crop would bo damaged by tho cold
woather, unprotected by snow, thero was a
good show of activity.
St. Louis began to buy and May sold up
to NKf&OHc, closing firm, 4c up nt 'UftltfiOc.
Local receipts wero GS cars, a of contract
Krado. Minneapolis and Duluth reported f.9S
cars, making a total for tho three points of
SW cars, iigulnst 1,104 last week and 717 a
ear ago, Primary receipts wero only 653,(joo
nishcls, compared with 778,000 lust yoar.
Tho world's vlslblo supply Increaso was
1,900,000 bushels, against 3,292,nno Increaso
last week. Tho Kuropean vlslblo decrcaso
was 1,600,000 bushels. Senboard clearances
In wheat and Hour equalled 2O6,0 bushels.
Tho scabourd reported 7 loads taken for ex
port. Corn wns dull nnd narrow early. Tho
rash demand was slow, tho outside markets
dull nnd this pit followed after wheat.
Early buying was nil local and Insignia
cant. Cables started May a shnrio to UrU
Jo lower at tho opening, hut when wheat
iiegan to dovolop corn also had qulto u. bull
market. Itecclpts here, as well us oIho
whero, havo beon curtailed by tho cold
weather and tho threatened rcnuwal of tho
cold wavo mado shorts unsteady. At pri
mary points thero wcro nbout 700,oO) bushels
lss than last year. Theso factors pushed
May up to 070 and brought a llrm closo,
';c up at KlWm'uViC. Receipts worn tVl cars.
Oats reileeted tho tone of tho other mar
Icots. Tho tono of tho other markets neces
sitated soino support by professionals and
shorts covering on tho wheat bulgu Hrmed
this pit somewhat. Commission houses
had somo selling orders, but In the main
trndo was dull. May oponed unchanged to
Ho lower, advniieed Uo over yesterday's
close and closed llrm, ia up at 45Ufll.V,io,
llecolpls worn 121 cars.
Provisions wero uulct, though fairly firm,
on better prices for hogs. Receipts ut tho

(JiiIiin In A'nrioiis .Stocks,
NEW YORK, Dec 17.-The undertone of
the stock market was decidedly llrmer
today, growing Into strength us tho day
progressed, nnd tho closing wns fairly
strong, with notable net gains In a number
of prominent stocks. The speculation was
almost entirely professional nnd was re
pressed in Its nature, with a disposition to
caution about encroaching on the limited
money supplies. Amalgamated Copper
maintained Its dominant Inlliienco on tho
market and Its Incessant lltictuatlons had
somo sympathetic effect always, but the
effect was more marked on the upward
range of prices, and the gains established
by tho general market were yielded stub
bornly when Amalgamated Copper reacted.
That stock touched 6OI4 soon after the
opening, a decline from yesterday's clos
ing and reported weak, and shares of cop
per companies everywhere were depressed,
Call loans ruled at 1! per cent until late ill
the day, when tho placing of n residue car
ried tho rate lower. Sterling exchange was
culled strong, but foreign bankers express
the opinion that the.'e Is tin likelihood of
further gold going nut before January 1.
The- argument for a permanent Injunction
In a suit to restrain the retirement of
Northern Pacific preferred hail no effect on
them and they rose In the face of some
what alarming reports of rato cutting
among western railroads Included In the
community of Interest, which wore appar
ently Intended for other than Wall street
consumption.
Cuts In the prlco of potroleum, sugar,
lead and Unseed oil had a depressing effect
on securities of companies In those trades,
The bond market was moderately active
and Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,
630,(1)10. United States, coupon, 3s advanced
and tho refunding 2s H per cent. The 6s,
coupon, declined per cent on the last call.
Tho Commercial Advertiser's. London
financial cablegram says; American stocks
were dull and Idle until the afternoon,
when there was a smart rnllv. with some
desultory bidding with Union Paclllc, South
ern t'liciuc, Atcnisou nun l.ouisvmn it
Nashville In response to better prices In
New A'ork, accompanied by a report of a

CATTLE There wern nn mnrn rnttln nn
(ale today than were wanted nnd as a
result prices held fully steady on all do
slrublo grades. Packers seemed to hnvo
qulto liberal orders, particularly for tho
better grades, so that sellers had no dlfll
culty In disposing of that class of cuttle
at very satisfactory prices.
Reef steers of good quality wore In de
mand this morning at steady to strong
prices. There wero not very many offered,
so that they were all out of first hands In
ftood season. Tho commoner grades und
lulf-fat cattle sold more or less unevenly,
tho same as usual, but as n general thing
they brought fully stenily prices today, as
compared with yesterday.
Good fat cows and heifers sold freely nt
steady to strong prices. Ruyers were all
anxious for that class of cattle, so that
they changed hands rapidly. The medium
grades and cunncrs did not sell qulto us
freely, and tho feeling seemed to bo a trlllo
weak. In somi cases sellers thought they
got fully steady prices, while others had
to sell n shade lower than they did yes
terday. Hulls, stags and veal calves sold with
out material change In prices. There wns
an nctlve demand for tho better grades, but
common kinds wero neglected.
There were only a few desirable bunches
of stockers nnd feeders In the yards today
mid such kinds wcro picked up early nt
good, llrm prices, So far as the common
cattle and medium weights were concerned
the market was quiet and buyers very In
different Representative sales:

GETTING NEWS FROM ROME
Slnuittnr Custom Hint Prrtnln In nn
Indlnn Territory Settlement
of Easterner.
George C. Thompson of SI. Louis was thn
guest of Omaha friends n few Mays this
week. .Mr. Thompson travels for a shoo
hoiiso nnd Is enrouto homo to spend tho
holidays.
"I wns down In tho Indian Territory re
cently. Things havo changed considerably
down there In tho last few years. Several
years ago I was down there on n buslnees
nnd pleasure trip combined, nnd wns stop
ping at n farmhouse, or, rather, cnbln,
about twelve miles from Checotnh. Sitting
out In front of the cabin one afternoon
theso cabins wero nbout a mllo apart I
saw two men coming riding by; In a few
minutes four or llvo more; then came sev
eral women; then more men, some riding
und some walking. I knew tho procession
wns out of tho ordinary nnd went Into tho
house to ask my host what It meant. Ha
was just putting on his Sunday clothes nnd
his wife wns all decked out In hor store
clothes. 'This Is Tuesday,' he said, 'am!
we are going over to Louis Courtney's to
read the home paper.' Well, I went with
them and the rending circle wns a revela
tion to mo. Tho Courtneys lived nbout four
miles from tho place where I wns stopping.
AVhen wo got there fully twenty-live men
nnd women had congregated. Mr. Courtney
then called tho meeting to order wo as
sembled out In tho yHrd pulled out a
weekly newspaper and commenced to read.
First tho locn! nows, then tho country cor
respondence nnd Instly the editorial. Fre
quently when some paragraph was rend
nbout some one a member of tho pnrty
knew, ho would ndd his knowledge to whnt
the paper snld nnd the matter would on
thoroughly discussed before tho rending wan
resumed. When nn obituary wns read
nnd there were several In thnt paper tho
deceased hnd n relatlvo In the reading cir
cle, the voice of tho reader would becomn
snd nnd he would Invnrlably hnvo to tnko
off his glasses nnd wipe them before com
mencing ngnln, A'oii see some of thefo
people hnd been In the country for yenrs
nnd very few of them hnd a correspondent
back tn the states. There only means of
keeping up with the homo nows wns
through tho weekly paper. Courtney wns
tho only tnnn In thnt section of tho coun
try who subscribed for tho pnper nnd ench
week oveyonc of theso people who hnd form
erly lived within twently miles of Court
ney's old home came over to hear tho news
read. Somo of them camo fully fifteen
miles, They would read every lino In tho
pnper, including tho ndvertlscmonts. I
nsked one of them why he didn't subscrlbo
for tho paper. 'Oh, I don't know, l'vo Just
got In tho habit of coming over to louts',
and then, It costs n dollar a yenr.' Ho
didn't scorn to count tho tlnio ho loet In
coming to louts' plncc."
