COTCAQO, Dec.. 11. La.rr clearances and
falling oft In receipts everywhere caM
strength In wheat today. May at one time
bowing a gain of lVo from the low points.
A slight reaction occurred late In the day
on realising, but closing prices were strong,
May being up May corn closed c
higher, oats were up o and provisions
fiom 2i4o to 15c higher.
A buliih sentiment prevailed among
wheat traders at the opening, due partly
to the government report on acreage and
condition of fall sown wheat. This, how
ever, was not as potent an Influence as was
the flrmnees In the Liverpool market in the
face of th weakness that prevailed here
yesterday. The effect of reports of rains
in Argentine was also lust beginning to be
felt, and the continued small receipts In the
northwest and southwest were Instrumental
In bringing out an active general demand.
May was up HflVo to H47S? at the start,
opening at 814781o, and with only scat
tered selling the price gradually recov
ered. Covering by those who had oversold
on the break yesterday and commission
houses were also active on the buying side.
The strength In outside markets and small
primary receipts lntensined the desire to
buy and late in the day when It was an
nounced that clearances were much larger
than usual there was a sharp demand
which carried May up to 82Hc, a gain of
IHo from the low point. A part of the rain
waa lost on profit-taking, but the close was
strong, with Msy e higher at c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 864,000 bu. Primary receipts were 7Sf7.tO
bu., against 825,i bu. a year ago. World's
exports of wheat and flour according to
Bradstreet'a were 4,067.000 bu., against
I.7l.orio bu. last year. Minneapolis. Duluth
nd Chicago reported receipts of 499 cars,
compared with 757 last week and 622 a
year ago.
Corn continued strong, although no great
amount of enthuslnBm was displayed on
he buying side. It did not require much
buying to advance prices, however, as of
ferings were light. The December deliv
ery was In fair demand from shorts who
are becoming somewhat alarmed at the
emallnese of receipts and light stocks. May
opened a shade to HtiSc higher at 431
43c, ranged between 43Ve and 43c, clon
ing at 434i43Hc. Local receipts were ISO
cars, with three of contract grade.
There wa an urgent demand for May
oata from commission houses and shorts,
and some of the buying was credited to big
longs. The strength In wheat and corn
helped to advance prices, ss did also the
small receipts. Scalpers took advantage of
the better price to secure profits and In
doing ao caused a slight reaction, but the
close wss strong. May opened 74c higher
at 3H4736ic and sold between 36Vfcc and 37c,
closing at iSc. Local receipts were 1M
, car.
Buying for investment account and cov
ering by shorts were the main support of
the provision market. Higher prices for
hogs caused a fair advance early In the
day, and the opening firmness was well
maintained. May pork closed 15c higher nt
SU.n"7y. May lard was up at 86.62H
and ribs were 7Hc higher at 86 27H-
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
70 cars; corn, 210 cars; oats. 150 cars; hogs,
24,000 head.

LOW MARK FOR STOCK IS APPROACHED
Woaey Market Is atroager aad Reeert
f Troafcle at Baltlaaere Has
Bad Effect Late la
Day.
NEW YORK, Dec 11. There was rather
leas activity In today s stock market and
the dealings were more congested In a
few stocks. Steel preferred was between
three and four times as active as any other
stock in the list and It was pressed upon
the market diligently all day. Its pries
was forced down to 61, which was only
a trifle more than 8 points above the low
eat. The common stock sold at 10, which
la on a parallel with the low record, but
the dividend of one-half of 1 per cent came
off the price yesterday. There was no
actual news accompanying the selling, but
very specific sssertlons were in circula
tion that a reduction of the dividend rates
on the preferred for the present has been
practically determined on. Published rates
of the heavy shrinkage of earnings of the
corporation also affected the stock.
Brooklyn Transit, which was next In
point of activity, was reactionary on what
seemed profit taking. Traders In the
stock affirmed thst the market wss de
signed to shake off an unwieldy bull fol
lowing. Less was heard today of the vari
ous deals concerning this property, wnlch
were talked of during the rise. Amslga
mtted Copper, Erie and Pennslyvanla were
very conspicuous In the trading, and had
periods of strength. The buying of Erie
was attributed largely to London account
so long as trading continued in London
the market showed points of strength, but
afterward the advance melted away very
generally, Brooklyn Transit receding to
near the low point of the morning dip. Th
upward spurt In People's Gas was appar
ently due to a judicial decision In favor
of the company. The reactionary forces
In the market did not develop great activ
ity and the market suggested a recession
of the advance, rather than Indications of
weakness. There Is a prevalent sentiment
that prudence In ths making of new com
mittments pending the annual aettlement
Is desirable.
The advices on the movements of cur
rency for the week point to a balance In
favor of New York of between 82,000,000 and
82,500,000. As the subtreasury operations
have absorbed $571,000, the cash reserves
of the banks has probably Increased during
the week between $1,500,000 and 82.000,0ua
The active speculation of the week Involves
some expansion of loans and the call
money rate ran up rather suggestively to
per cent, late In the afternoon. Th
news from Baltimore of clearing hous
measures for the protection of one of the
banks, caused a rather unpleasant Impres
sion. The figures of the production of
gold In the Rand for November, showing
a decrease of more than 4,000 ounces com
pared with October, will be disappointing
to the London market, which Is looking to
a gradual Increase of the Rand output to
help relieve Its rather urgent requirements
for gold. The stock market closed heavy
and at about the lowest.

CATTLEThere waa a verv lle'ht run'nf
cattle here this morning and in fact receipts
were so light that a lair teat of the market
was not made. The few care that arrived,
however, met with ready sale without much
change from yesterday In prices.
The market on cornfed steers could be
quoted generally steady. There was one
bunch of extra chclce Herefords and Dur
hams on sale that were good enough to
bring 85.30 They were what are called
Christmas beef. Aa compared with the
close of last week there Is but little change
in the prices paid for the better grades of
cornfeds. Warmed-up stock, however. Is
slow and has been selling lower all the
week. Aa compared with the close of last
week, the decline amounts to about 15526c.
The few cows on sale this morning
brought ust about ateady prices. The bet
ter gradea were In good demand and so
were canners. but the medium kinds were
neglected. That has been the case, though,
all the week and it is safe to ay that the
medium kinds are 104fl5o lower than a week
ngo; others, however, are about steady.
There waa not much change today in
bulls, veal calves and slags, nor has there
been all the week.
The stocker and feeder market waa also
generally steady with yesterdsy. There
were so few offered that the demand was
Sufficient to rrevent anv rfiwilfntt In ..!..
The prices now In force are about the same
as a week ago. If anything, good feeders
are a little stronger, while undesirable
kinds are perhaps a little lower.
inrra are so lew western grass beef
steers coming that a market can no longer
be quoted on thm. The same Is true of
western range cows and stockers and feed

liberal this morning and the market opened
active and strong to a nickel higher or
about 2ic nigner. Alter tne nrst round.
however, a to ot-ror tnere waa time to
transact much business packers suddenly
lowered their bids, and the close was right
around oc lower man tne opening, or
shade lower than yesterday's general mar
ket. Trading, tnougn, waa rainy active all
the morning, so that a good clearance was
mad at a reasonably early hour. The

with the choice butcher weight going from
34.50 to 84.55. The late sales went largely

the week prices are hardly as good. The
choicest grades are piobably not a great
oral different, but the general run of kill
ers sre around lvuloc lower than they were
a week ago.
There waa a fairly liberal demand for
feeders today and as a result prices held
about steady. Trading waa not very brisk,
but still the bulk of the arrivals was
soon disposed of. For the week the mar
ket la also generally stesdy, very little
change having taken place on anything at
all desirable.
