CHICAGO. ' Dec. 7. Conflicting report
from Argentina in regard to th weather
conditions In that country caused an er
ratic whut market today. Prices were alao
Influenced by the action of the leader of
tha bull cllaue. Active buying by that In-
tereat late In the day reunited in a strong
rloae. May being up WSVfcc. may corn

rabies. May waa uncnangea to M lower,
at 82f82Mic. There was considerable selling
at the start, owinc to the bearish news and
St. Louis houses led In the selling. The
Julv deliver waa firm on continued drv
weather In the winter wheat aeetlon; and
the strength of tha distant futures exerted
a supporting Influence on tne other montn.
Toward the end of the first hour a good de
mand developed on reports of heavy rains
in Argentine, wmcn resulted in tne mar
ket becoming strong with May tfp to 82'He,
Jitter In the day rumors of a probable big
increase In the visible supply together with
later reports from Argentine contradict
ing tne earner advices ami claiming ravor
able hsrvestlng weather there, brought out
an abundance of selling orders and prices
sgsin declined. May going down to sissc.
Much of the selling was due to rumors to
the effect that the big holder was unloading
through commission houses. There wss
an urgent demand during the day by brok
ers, wno were creaitea witn nuying ror ine
hull leader, and with only small offering
another rally occurred, and tha close was
strong with prices near the ton. May cine
ing at 82fGSc. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to RRfi.800 bushels. Primary
receipts were 1.4R0.70O bushels, aaalnst prac
t trail y tha same amount last year. The
amount on passage Increased 1,69ft, 000 bush-
em, wnue me visima supply snowea an in
crease of 1.902.000 bushels. Minneapolis
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of
1.075 cars, against 1.041 cars last week, and
1,710 cars a year ago.
Corn, ruled easier and trading was less
active. A weak cssh market with larger
country acceptances and more liberal re
ceipts, than expected with lower cables all
combined- to create a bearish sentiment.
Provision Interests and locnl traders were
the principal sellers, while tha demand came
largely from shorts. After opening
lower at 42ru 43o, May sold between 4:V
and .ravtse. closing at 4Zo. Local re
ceipts wer .183 cars with t of contract
rsde.
Oata ruled easier earlier In tha session
slong with other grains. There waa sell
ing of May by local longs and December
was weak an heavy deliveries on December
contracts and larger receipts than exnected.
Tha nig decrease In the visible simply and
the late strength. In wheat started shorts
to cover near the close and the enrly loss
was regained and- the steady tone pre
vailed at the end. May opened Vai&y.C lower
st 8fV, to 36c. and after ranging between
HfiHeOSc, closed at 85c. Receipts were 268
cars.
Provisions ruled firm, a'thotigh trading
waa quiet. Hog receipts were muct lighter
than expected and this canned a better tone
In -the market at The yards, and this Im
provement In sentiment wss reflected In
provisions. Packers were the principal "ell
em. while the demand came malnlv from
commission houses. The demand wss
steady at a small advance. January pork

NRW YORK. Dtc. 7. -All the Interest In
today s stock market up to the last hour
was confined to th movements 01 a tew
specialties. These served to hold tha mar
ket firm. Immediately upon tne appear
ance of the president s message the mar
ket took on strength and animation, and
advanced comprehensively. The railroad
lota, which had lain Inert Up to that time,
came Into the upward movement, and the
prominent active leaders made gains of a
point or more. St. Paul and Missouri Pa
cific gained two points. Professional lead
ers, who did most of the uuylng of stocks,
gave as their motive their opinion of the
conservative tone of the president s mes
sage In the treatment of tha problem of
corporation regulation.
it was not until lata In the day that tne
extent of th engagements of gold In Ion
don for Import became known. The.-e
footed up over $1,400,000. For the greater
part of th day the active speculstlon In
Amslgamated Copper predominated the
whole market. Th buying of this stock
was professedly bssed upon the so-called
fair trial bill In Montana, but the person
ality of the brokers employed In the buying
also had strong effect upon sentiment,
being taken to show a revival of activity
on th part of the Interests long dormant
In that stock. The unremitting profit-taking
In Brooklyn Transit which went on
throughout the day was highly significant
In tho same relation. Besides the two
stocks, United States Steel preferred made
up the greater part of the remaining activ
ity, but It made little headway towards ad
vance until the final upward movement,
The speculative sentiment at the opening
was apprehensive of a reaction after the
action of the market at the end of last
week. The heavy tone of the London mar
ket helped to make the early dealings un
certain. The pressure of profit-taking In
the general list proved light, however, and
gave color to the supposition that the
heavy demand last week to cover shorts
had been pretty effectusUy taken advan
tage of to realize profits by the longs, thus
leaving speculative committments largely
reduced for both accounts and the market
comparatively free for a fresh Initiative
The confident ton of the annual report
of the controller of th currency as to the
safe passing of fall money crisis had a
cheering effect on sentiment. Call money
was appreciably easier In tone, the highest
rate beina per cent, with a later drop
to almost nominal rates. A reaction In the
cotton market was also regarded With
satisfaction. Heavy shipments of currency
to New Orleans on Saturday and today
were neutralized In their effect by renewed
force of gold import movement.
The reports to hand of railroad earnings
cannot be said to have fostered In tha ad
vance, the proportion of decreases both of
gross and net earnings showing an unmlx
tskftble growing tendency. Amalgamated'
final rise to 6 points over Saturday kept the
closing firm.
Bonds were dull and steadv. Total sales
par value were . $2,000,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on the last call

of hogs on sale here this morning, but ad
vices from other points were unfavorable to
the selling Interests and prices eri1 off ft
little. Th ninrket wss about llko Satur
day's rlose or right around a nickel lower
than the earlv market on Baturday. Trad
ing wss slow from start to finish, ss sales
men did not like to take the prices offered.
The situation, thotiarh. did not Improve any
'as the day advanced and, In fact, th clos
wss slow snd weak. I fieri was a very
nsrrow range In the prlres paid loflsy, tha
long string going st $4.35 snd the bulk of all
the hogs sold from $4 36 to $4 40. with a
prime load ss high as $4 46. Butcher weights
ire still soiling 10 tne uesi aavaiiiain, vu
they did not command the premium today
that they did the latter part of last week.

SHEliP There, was a liberal run of sheop
here this mornlnar for th time of year.
and the quality of the bulk of th offerings
was rather common. A few or tne more
desirable bunches sold without much
trouble at right around steady prices, but
the general run of the sheep and lambs
that were on sale were slow and If anything
a little lower. Packers did not seem to bo
at all an lone for half-fat stuff either in
the way of corn-feds or westerns, and tho
day was well advanced before anything Ilka
a clearance wua made,
The feeder market was not much dltterent
from tha close of last week. The demand
was fair for good stuff and receipts wer
not excessive, so that prices held generally
steady.

Cotton , Market,
NEW TORK. Dee. 7.-COTTON Th
market opened easy at a decline of 7ift13
points under realising and room selling on
the reaction theory, which was encouraged
by the lower Liverpool cables and tha out
look for continued large receipts. After a
little further loss on the call, however, the
market was rallied by a good demand from
various sources, with the local bull leader
and Interests representing, according to
popular belief. New England people good
buyers, the former taking large blocks of
January - around 12.36v412.37c. This buying
was enough to Impart a rteadler tone to
the market, as the bears had been ren
dered timid by the recent spectacular de
velopments, and before the session was
mora than half an hour old the decline had
been cut down to a matter of 4 or 5 points
on the active months.' At this point offer
ings became slightly heavier, and prices
advanced from the south Indicated that
spot people were buying up the lower grade
with the Intention of delivering on con
tract, while, as the estimates from receipts
at leading points tomorrow came tin they
showed the outlook for a heavy move
ment. This led to a renewal of the down
ward tendency, which continued during the
balance of the session with the market at
just about the lowest of the session. Tha
final tone was oareiv steaay, witn prices
at a net loss of 22m 21 points. Sales were
estimated at 500,000 bales.
Trading during the day was fair at times,
hut aenerallv SDeaklng was less than re
cently, reflecting apparently the disposi
tion to go conservatively pending some In
dication of the effect on consumers and the
growers of the recent crop. Southern spot
markets wer generally unchanged to He.

CATTLE There was not an excessive
supply of cattle In sight this morning, but
reports from other points were rather bear
ish, and as a result, white prices were not
mucn uiiierem rrom inose paia last week.
stll there was not much life to the trade.
There was very little aood stuff in alarlit.
and that, of course, helped to make packers
ii'Uinereni anu Dfunsn.
There were very few cornfed ateera nn
rale and those that did arrlv were short
fed. The market could not be quoted any
iowor, but at tha same time it was cer-
tainly no higher, and trading waa slow, the
aame aa has been the case with the
warmed-up cattle all the fall. Packers
claimed they were anxious for good stuff,
but aa there were no well-finished cattle of
fered a test of values on that kind wa not
made.
The cow market was also a little slow
and prices ranged steady to a dime lower.
Th Dig bulk of the receipts this mornlnar
was made up of cows, over seventy-five
csrs being on sale. That, of course, gave
buyers an excuse ror pounding the market.
Canners held generally steady, but the me
dium and good cow sold rather unevenly
and sales were noted that were all the
way from rteady to 10c lefwer than the
earn kinds brought at th close of last
week.
There Is no change worthy of mention
in the prices paid for bulls, veal calvea and
stags.
Tiier were not many stockers and feed-
era on sale this morning, and as specu
lators carried over only a few cattle from
last week they took hold fairly well this
morning and paid generally steady price
for everything on sale. The better grade
were, of course, In the best demand, but
ill I even the common Jtinds sold at steady
prices.
1 ner were oniy a lew wrsiern grass oeei
steers on sale, but some of them were of
better quality than tha majority of th
steers that have been received of late.
Titer was no life to the market, but prices
held about steady. Range cows and stock
ers and feedera fluctuated aa noted above.

Announcements of the Theaters.
Probably the most successful of recent
book plays Is "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage
Patch." The success of the book has been
duplicated, and that Is saying a good deal,
for the ' story has been read by , almost
everybody. Madge Carr Cooke, who
created the character of Mrs. Wlggs, Is
one of the best known of American
actresses, and has acxred a great lilt In
the part. Other members of the crm.any
have been selected because of H eir ability,
and as each has a separate churtteter to
distinctly outline, the result Is cne cf con
stant delight to tha auditor. Tl-.e engage
ment begins at the Hiyd tonight, and In
cludes a maUnee and evening perfortrftrjc
Wednesday.
With the big musical comedy, "Th Chap
erons," the Krug theater Is doing th
greatest business It has enjoyed sine tho
Ward A Vokcs engagement. The current at- .

sotting as well. The big beauty chorus hag
made a splendid hit, together with tho
principals. "The Chaperons" will be given
at the Krug only three more times, tonight
and Wednesday afternoon and night. i
