Receipts.
CHICAOO, Dec. in. Lack of snow In
many sections of the winter wheat belt,
together with wsr news, contributed
strength to grains today. May wheat closed
Vic higher, corn W'tS and oats c. Pro
visions were 7tyc to 2oc higher.
Wheat ruled atrong throughout the en
tire session. Steady cables and small re
ceipts were bull factors at the start and
May opened unchanged to 'iiiViC higher to
S4NG84'V- There waa good general buying
In both May and July, and with only light
fitTerinra the market advanced. Reports
from various portions of the winter wheat
fields caused apprehension among ahorta.
The feeling of uneasiness was caused by
the warlike news from the east, and urgent
demands soon carried May up to tUc. The
market lost part of Its atrength late In the
day on realising, but the close was Arm,
with May at 84V4c. Clearancea of wheat
and flour were equal to 322,500 bushels. Pri
mary recelpta were 1.004.300 bushels, with ft
holiday last year. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported rcelpta of 615 cars,
against CR7 cars last week.
Reports of smaller yields west than ex
pected and relatively higher prices being
paid by feeders, light Interior movement
and the action of wheat, all tended to
create a decidedly bullish aentlment In
corn. Commission houaea and shorts led
In the buying, while theeelling was mainly
by professionals. Prices held strong
throughout the day and closed near the
top. lOruil receipts were 142 cars, none of
contract grade.
There was good buying of oats by hull
lenders' on reports that the bulk of the
northwestern crop had been marketed and
that receipts are to fall off. Prices Were
strong early, but eased off somewhat as the
session advanced, due to liquidation. The
tloae? was steady, with May at SSHWViC,
after opening a shade lower to a shade
higher at Kii3SHe and ranging between 3Sc
and iS'Tdc Local receipts were 84 cars.
Smaller receipts of hogs had a stimulating
effect on provisions and prices ruled higher.
Commission houaea were active buyers
early and advanced prices, but part of the
gain waa lost on realizing. The close was
strong, with May pork 20c higher at 318.02H.
May lard was up 12He at 17 0'",y7-O5. with
ribs 7H10c higher at H.72H0S.75.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat
70 cars; corn, 175 cars; oats, 60 cars; hogs,
24,000 head.
The board will be closed until Monday.

LONDON, Dec. 31. Money waa In strong
month-end demand in the market today ana
rates were firm in spite of borrowings from
the Bank of England approaching $75,000,
OuO.. Diacounta were bureiy ateady. Busi
ness on the Stock exchange was mill and
lifeless in view of the New Year's holiday.
Consols eased at firat, but afterwards re
covered. Americans opened dull and weak
ened a fraction later. Atchiaon, Topeka A
Santa Fe, Chesapeake & Ohio and Union
Pacitio were notable aufferera.
The market cloaed quiet. Canadians were
weaik. Foreigners were easier, especially
Japaineee. Kaffirs were moderately firm
on the reeult ot the debate in the legisla
tive council at Pretoria in regard to the
Introduction of Asiatic labor into South
Africa, which practically aaaures thi im
portation of Chlneae. Bullion amounting to
A'30,0u0 waa withdrawn I rum the Bank of
England today for shipment to South
America. The rate of discount of the Bank
of England was unchanged today at 4 per
cent. The weekly statement of the Bank
of England shows the following changes:

pared with JW 90 per rent la at week.
PARIS. Dec. 31. The feeling on the
bourse today continued depressed owing
to the advice received in regard to the
far eastern situation. Rualneas waa I Un
less throughout and at the close the mar
ket was dull and heavy. The private rate
diaoount was 115-14 per cent; 3 per tent
rentes, 97f 37c for the account; exchange

NEW YORK STOCKS'AND BONDS
lisl Day of Year Finds l ittle Doing;
la the Way of Raalaeae oa
'Change.
NEW YORK. Dec. 81-Nothlng mora was
attempted In today's stock market than to
hold prices. This attempt was eminently
successful, the market presenting a hard
and unyielding surface. No greater power
of resistance waa required, in fact, for the
pressure Upt,n the market was the lightest.
The running up of the money rate Tate In
the day to 9 per cent, the highest of the
movement was not expected and was of
little Influence on the stocks. The rise was
much less than often happens at this time
of the year, and shipments are apparently
not overextended and not In weak hand's
so that the shifting of loans does not dis
lodge much stock. Even In the cotton mar
ket a more tranquil tone prevailed and the
Immediate necessities in the way of clos
ing up contracts seemed to be met and a
conservative spirit manifest in entering
upon new ones. There was no buying de
mand of Importance for stocks and the
firmness of the stocks was rather due to
absence of pressure than to any active
show of strength. The most prominent
stock In the. speculation was Amnlgamnted
Copper which rose to a new high level of
the movement.
The increase In net earnings of the Vnlon
Pacific for November made what was re
garded as a satisfactory showing. The
halt in the market seemed to give rise
to rather more discussion to the possible
ulterior effects of an outbrenk of war be
tween Russia and Japan than has been
given to tlwtt' subject, especially on the
side of possible effects on foreign money
markers. Some comment was given also
to the number of railroad accidents In the
recent past. The culminating horror of tho
Chicago disaster grtve force to the consid
eration of accidents as destructive factors.
The rinsing tone was dull and heavy.
Bonds were In light demand but firm In
tone. Total sales par value, $1,935,000.
Vnlted States bonds were unchanged on
call.

CATTLE There was another moderate
run of cattle here thla morning and with
the demand in good shape the market ruled
aotive and stronger all around. Trading
was very brisk, so that an early clearance
was made.
There were only a few cars 6f corn-fed
steers on sale, and, as all tho packers
wanted a few, It would be safe to quote
he market strong to a olme higher. As
high as 36.10 was paid, which Is the highest
firice in some little time. The common
o fair cattle also Joined in the advance, so
that all kinds sold very readily and the
pens were empty at an early hour. As
compared with the close of last week the
market is now 16ffc26c higher.
There was alo a brink demand for cow
stuff, snd as receipts were limited there
was not enough to fill the immediate re.
qulrements of local packers. As Is gen
erally the case under such circumstances,
the market -was very Irregular, some sales
showing a much greater advance titan
others. The. general market, though, was
all of atrong to a dime hlaher. or fullv us.
26c higher for the week.
jjuus were also a little stronger and ready
sellers, if at all good, Veal calves did not
show much If any change.
There were not enough Blockers and feed
ers on sale to make a market, but there
was considerable inquiry from the country,
particularly for the better grades, and such
klnda could aafely be quoted strong.
Owing to the light receipts, even the com
moner klnda of both stockers and feeders
sold this morning without much trouble at
strong prices. Representatives sales:

HOGS There was not a heavy run of
hogs here thia molding, but with a good
demand and favorable reports from other
points the market ruled active and fully
a dime higher than yetterday. There til
very little change in the market from atart
10 11 111 an ana an eariy clearance was mad
Oood weight hugs sold largely at 64.62H and
34 66. with prime heavies stilling from 84. 67
to 84 76. Medium weight hogs sold largely
round 34 60. with llalit mixed l.uarla .,i.
from that down to 84 40, with extreme light
wetghta and plga still lower. The lighter
welgnts were avaln neglected and hard to
sell at any trice, as the packers were
looking for heavy hogs and left I lie litthl
weights until the list. They finally bought
tilrvery thing In sight, however, so that a
gnod clearance waa made at art early hour.

SHEEP There was a light run of sheep
and lambs hern thla morning, nnd as the
demand was again liberal the market ruled
active and strnng io a dime higher on oil
grades of klll -rs. The ame Ra hns been
the cnie nil tt week, there did not seem
to be enough on snle to meet the require
ments of local packers, nnd na a result they
bought tip everything In sight at an ear'y
hour. The common, r gradea na well as tho
good stuff sold higher. For the week the
market Is now 2.V!i loc higher.
There were only a few feeders on sale
and not enough to make a test of the mar
ket, but owing to the fact that there are
several orders In the hands of commission
men It Is safe to quote the market strong.
