CHICAUO. Dee. 16. Widespread demsnd
for caan wneat was the maun cause ot a
strong market In speculative options here
todsy. At the close May wheat was up St
c. Corn snows a gain of u-c. Oals ar
up Vav. Provisions are practically un
changed. Sentiment In the Wheat pit at the opening
was rather bearish aa a result of lower
cable and a material Increase In shlo-
i ments from Argentina, Initial quotations
on May were ore H'oHo to ai.ivVtii.iuv.
Newa from the northwest, however, was of
continued bullish tenor. As a result the
market here soon developed a stronger
tone. A feature of trading during the lat
ter part of the session was an urgent de
mand for December delivery. There was a
resultant advance of 24c In the price of
that option. Phort were the prlncipnl buy
ers of December. Meantime May advanced
ISc from the low point of the day, selling
up to tl.llV Part of the gain was subse
quently lost on profit-taking, but the mar
ket closed strong. Final quotation on
May were at 31 1141.11H. Clearances ot
wheat and flour were equal to 69,9u0 bushels.
Exports for the week, as shown by Brad
street's, were 1.144.000 bushels. Primary re
ceipts were 729..W bushels, compared wltn
641.900 a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of 61 oars,
agatnat 714 cars last week and 424 a year
ago.
Influenced by lower rabies and Increased
shipments from Argentina, an easier tone
fire vailed In the corn market at the open
ng. On active covering by shorts, how
ever, a firm undertone soon developed. An
Improved demand for the cash grain had a
bullish effect in December option, but dis
tant deliveries were held In check by the
Immense else of the new crop. May opened
unchanged to c lower at o1H&c, sold up
to 4iSc and closed at 4rViS-kie. Local re
ceipts were 444 care, with 3 of contract
grade.
The oats market waa firm throughout the
entire dsy. Prices were bid up by loca.1
shorts and were bought on the light re
ceipts. Later the market acted in sympathy
with the advance in wheat. Cash prlcca
were higher. May opened unchanged to Ho
higher at 3lo to 31H$314c, sold up to 31V0
31 Wo and closed at 31S31Hc. Local re
ceipts were 42 cars.
On fair support by packers, the provision
market held firm the entire day. Trading
wa comparatively quiet. At the close May
pork waa up ZWISa at I12.2J. Lard was a
shade lower at 7.13tt. Ribs were unchanged
at 3i o.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
38 cars; corn, 6n cara; oata, a cars; hog,

NEW TORK, Dec 14 -The nervous
tremor which hsv afflicted th stock
market all through the week were quieted
today and the advancing tendency, which
has been in evidence practically ever since
the downward course was arrested on
Tuesday, waa more consistent and unln
terrupted than at any previous time on the
recovery. The constant set-backs and hesi
tations which have developed at some time
every day were lacking and the day s gains
were held wltn comparative firmness.
However, thfs may have been due to the
almost mlllenlal mildness of the adjust
ment of personal differences growing out
or the stock market contest and Monday's
sharp break and the ronaeouent relief nf
a state of nervous tension which has ex
tended tO both alria nt lh. Atlontl It
would be difficult to say. But the prevailing
....,, wim wiucn tne anair has been re
garded took on less of sffeotatlon today and
viMoi-iuence oi ins restored connoence

of the market's resisting power there was
no corresponding revival of animation, the
flay s dealings showing little Increase over
those Of Vesterriav. Thm msrlrt h , ....
tirely free from any presence of liquidation,
so that the small buying waa effective in
lifting prices and the supply of stocks was
so scanty as to enable holders to advance
the asking price with effect on the selling
The United States Steel stock were In
continued large demand and were helped
by the report of the placing of a large
order for steel rails for Pennsylvsnla. The
Increase In the Louisville Nnshvllle dlvl
dnd radiated a sympathetic effect amongst
Its affiliated properties and the whole
southern group. Reports of a definite ad
justment of the Oould-Pennevlvanla trou
bles met with some disclaimers, but the
impression was allowed that the serious
nes of the dispute had been exaggerated.
The November foreign trade report dis
closed a decline In the excess value of ex
ports of over $20,000,000. But It waa ob
served that the Imports In November of last
year, with which the comparison Is made,
were the smallest of any month for more
than two year past, while for the month
Jut past the Import are greater with one
exception than for anv preceding month.
The fact that the decrease of over 317,000.000
In export of domestic product for the
month Is modified to a decrease of only
$2.r8. by the Inclusion of all report,
argues a further expansion In the export
trade In manufactured products, which I
rersrded with satisfaction.
The outgoing gold movement was prac
tlcillv Ignored, as money wns offered In
abundance, and at lower interest rates.
The continued Inflow of currency from the
Interior promises to larsely offset the
week's drain of gold exports and on other
accounts. The premium on New York ex
change at Chicago, however, was slightly
lessened today. Dnie In the day the per
ception of the freedom from pressure on
the market led to a lively bidding up of
prices throughout and the closing was rerv
strong at the top level. Oains of 1 to 3
poln's are frequent amongst the leading
stocks.

cline today. At the opening of the market
some of the buyers went around and ph ked
out a few bunches of the choicest grades
for which they had a special order. After
that was done Ihe mnrket was very slow
and safely a dime lower. In many cases,
though, salesmen could scarcely get a bid,
aa the market seemed to come almost to a
standstill. It waa late before even the bulk
of the offerings waa disposed of. A bunch
of wethers a. .Id ss high as $i.tV and native
lambs sold for K50.
There were not enough feeders here this
I morning to mske a test of ths market.

CATTLE There waa
run of cattlo here this morning, but supply
was ample to meet the nMiiir.mama r. , h.
trade. There waa no activity or life to the
trade, but mot of the cattle sold in much
the same notches they did yesterday. A
fairly good clearance was mad at a reason
ably early hour.
There were only a few cornfed steers In
cluded In the offering' and prices held right
around eteady with yesterday, or 2oc to 40o
lower than a week ago. The greatest de
cline haa been on the common to medium
grades. Just how strictly prime cuttle
would have sold la hard to tell, aa none
have been offered, but there have been a
tew cnoice Duncnes and they nave suffered,
though not as much as the commoner kinds!
There is not much to be said of the mar
ket on western rangers, as not enough have
been here to make a test of the situation.
The cow market held about steady with
yesterday except on canners, which were
extremely dull and lower. In many cases
in fact salesmen had a hard time to get any
of the buyers to bid on them, as puckers
did not seem to want them at any price
As compared with a week ago, canners aro
400 to bUo lower and very dull at the de
cline. The general market on cowa la iy
40o lower, except perhaps on something very
choice in the way ot heifers, which may
not be that much off.
Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold in
much the same notches they did yesterday.
Fat bulls are a little lower for the week,
but feeder bulls nearly steady. Best veal
calves have also sold steady.
There were Just a few old bunches of
Blockers and feeders on hand this morning
and. as would naturally be expected, ths
demand was limited and price a little
lower. The general market on stock cattle
is 15c to 25c lower than a week ago. Rep
resentative sales:

HOC a There was
hog in sight this morning, and while Chi
cago was reported steady, prices hers
showed some little Improvement. Tha mar
kot could be quoted fully 3o higher, with
sales going all the way from strong to 5c
higher. Trading was fairly active after
buyers and seller got together, and except
for a few late arrivals a clearance was
made In good season. On th extreme close
the feeling waa a little weaker, so that th
tat arrivals did not sell a great deal better
than ths prices paid at the high time yes
terday. The bulk or an the sales today

Wool Market.
BOSTON. Dec. 16. WOOL The Commer
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow: "The mar
ket la dull with more interest In the con
tracting movement In the west and foreign
market developments than local trading,
which has been confined to small parcels
at full previous prices for all grades. Fine
fleeces do not mov and at present are held
above the views .of buyers. Speculation
in scoured wools has died out. Pulled
wools tend upward owing to the high cost
of skins. Imports of foreign wools are
large and there are big quantities headed
this way from Australia and South Amer
ica, where American buyers have been
operating liberally. The indications are for
the heaviest lmportstlons for years. The
shipments of wool from Boston to data
from December 31, 1903, according to the
same authority are 246.605.320 pounds,
against 227,68,124 pounds nt the same time
last vear. The receipts to date are 801 239, Ptl
pounds, sgalnat 272.628,493 pound for tha
same period Inst year.
