Corn sad oata are up 4- Pro vision range from 14c higher to l.- Iwr- Extreme weakneaa waa manifested In tha wheat market at the opening Initial n"r tatlons on May ware S&V" lower at tlX 1 lfl. Several elements tended to creete bearish sentiment. C)ae of the factor, was the largeness of the world's shipments, es pecially the liberal total from Russia. An olher Influence - - , i, anw which han (fallen on the drouth-stricken wheat fields or the southwest. From the "tart was fair scattered selling. The market lucked any food aupport. As a result addi tional weakneaa developed, May selling off to H.Val.tyi4 Throughout the day the market here waa affected by the weakness of tha northwea'era markets, wheat prices at Dututh and Minneapolis being down 14 tic. Lnillnea In tl.a flour trade waa ore reason assigned for tha lower prices In the northwest. A temporary rally occurred here toward the middle of the session on covering by short a, who were apparently surptlsed at the comparatively small In creaae In the visible supply. The Increase In available stocks was only 248.0" bu.. compared with an increase of 2,tt.' bu. a year ago. On tha rally May eold up to f1.liiH4Jl.10te. The market, however soon turned weal again. Mav declining to tl."94. A heavy tone prevailed throughout the re mainder of the day, final quotations on May being at tlu4l .04. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 1. bu The amount on passage decreased M,ono bu. Primary. receipts were LUa.aOO bu., com pared with sff.OOO bu. a year ago. Minne apolis. Duluth and Chlrag-o reported re ceipts of 1.14 care, against l.ufct care laat week and M car a year ago. Considering the weakneaa of wheat the corn market held remarkably firm through out the entire session. A little easier tone waa manifested at the start as a result of liberal local receipts, but the fact that out of total arrivals of l.tU cars only nine graded contract gave encouragement to bulls, causing a firmer feeling. There was considerable buying of December by shorts snd this helped to support the distant de liveries. May opened a shade to He lower at 444c to 444U444e, sold between 444P and 44Hc and closed at 444 An Improved caah demand caused a firm undertone In the oats market. Trading was of light volume and mostly for local ac count. May opened unchanged to He lower at Hil-'14c. sold nn to a4e-T"4c and closed at WV. Docal receipts were 184 cars. Karlv In the day the provision market waa Arm owing to entailer receipts of hogs than expected at tha yarda. Later the mar ket weakened on profit-taking, there being little aupport in evidence.

LEADERS ARE OFF TWO TO SIX POINTS Prices Ciiatlsst Fall Tbroaahoat the r.atlre Heealew 1 1 ter lek of Hesletlag Pewer Fea Ure af the Pay. NEW YORK. Dec 12-Ihe speculative demand for stocks seemed to be completely paralysed today ajd confidence entirely departed from all of thoae who wete such eager buyers up to a week ago at prices fur above those prevailing today. The feeling of doubt spread more and mure to holders of stock during the course of todays market and the pressure to sell long stocks steadily Increased. Iong buy ers In evidence were those who had llrst Sold, momiy bear operators, who went short of the market and then bought to cover at the Inviting profits accrued on the subsequent declines Buying or this character caused occasional feverish rallies from the violent declines. But the selling waa constantly renewed on the rallies and the fall touched new low levela at each re newal. The range of tne decllnee compared r s pec t ably with that In last Tnursdsy'a panicky break, but there waa far lea resilience to the market. 1'rlcea hardly got as low today aa the low prices touched on Thursday, out owing to the violent recoveries on that day and the weak clos ing of today at the lowest prices, the range of values is substantially lower tonight than It was on last Thursday night. The moat striking fact In today's market waa the utter lack of resisting power In the market. Il only needed a slight Increase In the rate of activity to start prices pre cipitately downward. Changes In the conditions of the properties affected or In tha general conditions of finance, com merce and Industry were not suggested by any of the leading sellers. Money nn call loaned down to 2 per cent In the late market and pressure for fundR did not seem to be the motive for selling any stocks. The comparative Im munity of the high grade Investment bonds from weakness was an evidence of this, as bonds of that class are almost tnvn rlably brought to market In any renl emergency for ready money. There i'an be no dispute that the enormous prestige acquired by the loudly proclaimed leader ship of last week's raid of the stock mar ket gave great power of Intimidation to the renewal of the same methods today and caused widespresd timidity, growing Into terror among the trading class of holders. lant week's quick recovery arouaed distrust in view of the demon strated Instability of prices at ths height to which tliev had been lifted by the In ludicluos speculation which preceded the break. To attempt an Immediate restora tion of this level was regarded aa an In discreet speculative enterprlae and this hitd much Influence In cutting short the buy ing for a further rise There was sn ex pectstlon again that ths Northern Securi ties decision wss Imminent, snd this helped to depress stocks, notwithstanding the effective use that has been made of It 00 other occasions to boom the market. Prices on the curb were as vlolsntly disturbed as on ths exchange, the slump In tJreene Consolidated Copper In that mar ket rlvslllng the break In Amalgamsted Copper on the exchange. But the dey's losses In stocks of all classes. Including standard rallroud and industrial propertlea, runs till the way from 2 to over 6 points. The tone of the closing was as weak as nt anv time (lining the day. Bonds were weak. In sympathy with stocks. Total sles, ir vnlue. fu.840,000. I'nlted Sines bonds were unchanged on call.

Several bunches of cornfed aleers arrived ntid the market on good to choice grsdea could he quoted steady. Common cattle, however, were rather slow and In moat cases were 11 trifle lower than ih nmn I kinds brought last week Packers nil ; seemed to be anxious for Christmas cattle snd had snythlng strictly prime been ; offered strong prices would undoubtedly ! have been puld. A few western rangera were on sale, but no psrtlcular change In ruling prlcea was noticeable. There were nof enough offered though, lo miike n fair test of the situation! The cow market was slow and lower ex cept on the choicest grades, which aoid about steady. The fair lo medium klndi suffered the worst and sold renerally a dime lower, and some of the buyers' bid much worse than that. Common cancers did tint show 11 great deal of cluingn. The market waa slow, -as buyers did not seem to care whether they got anything but the good stuff, nnd consequently It was la I before a clearance was made. The bulk of the offering wae from local points, but quite a string of wenteins arrived and Ihe better grades sold nt what looked to be just about steady prices. Tho market on bulls wm alow and weak. Common stuff in particular was hard to move. Veal culves sold In about the same notches they did I ant week. There were not a great many Mockers and feedera on sale tills morning and the demand was not as brisk as usual, gome of the choicer grades sold about steady, but common kinds were slow and weak. The feeling in fact was weak on all kinds. Ii-p-reeentHtlv sules: BEEF STEERS. . No. II.! !! 21.. A. .. 771 . . S4ti . . till ..10:4 ..121 ..1077 Pr.
