The grain mirkei of ihe I'liiteil "talis
were peculiarly dull today. Nothing was
apparent on the arirfaoe In any of the
speculative center anil nothing new ap
peared to hrcalr the rrpnt trend fif mun
business. i)c! hi (train companies '
I'r"""! themselves at a los to ipmnnwr
a .!iillr dav
hfl showed some strength, but till
ws perhaps due m i ar-l v to lack of offer.
There were few 11 jnrn, large or small.
Tlia large Increase In tlia world a visible.

for tha central and united province. Tha

Tows and elsewhere- hava bettered tlia win

thay hava been annrmom. Minneapolis,
however, reporis country mnvamant now
very light and North Dakn.a grain la

today ightv-one cum wereCanadian wheat,
which tends to corrohorata tha reports of
light movement from first hands In Minna,
apolla. Tlia rnnrkat at present la governed
by lha new of tha day, the receipts anil
the milling demand.
The corn movement through tha Omaha
market continual heavy, but moat of It la
already aolil aouth and doea not come
on to the floor for aale. The world a ship
ment for the past weak were 3.7H2.rl
bushel, against 15.6.01X1 huhel for tho
preceding weak, and 8.084.0) luisliels for
tne aamo period of last year. The receipts
In all tho hlg markets are rathar liberal
and the demand continue good. Chicago
was off a little from tlia Saturday close.
The hreak traders hava anticipated has not
arrived, and friends of corn are Klightly
more confident of a stronger market. The
shorts hava n it forced the corn below 44r
yet and ara losing patience.
The nati market Is flat. Sieculators keep
the large stock In mind and do not look
for an advance.

CHICAOO. Dec. 'l Decreased receipts
In tha northwest formed the principal rea
son for a firm wheat msrk-t hare today.
At tha lose May wheat ehowd .1 giiin
of Corn is up !,. tnt re un
changed. I'rovMnns are !in r-.7l'r.
The wheat market hnfd gruteet
atrcngtli ao..n after tlia opening. On
good dam.'ind from commission houses and
local' shorts sentiment at the atart was
bullish. Initial niiotutlons cn My were y
'c higher, at II lom 11. The main cause of
tne urgent demand was a sharp falling off
in receipts in tha nnrthwel Another
ftor that entered Into the situation, how
ever, whs a decrease In the amount on
passage, together with a d"rease In
world s shipments. A noticeable feature of
the Matiaths of tha world s movement was
the smaHitaea of shipments from Rusrt
Advices from Minneapolis told of s good
demand for cash wheat. With nfferlrgs
light rrtces sdvanced still further unill
May sold up to $1.11. For a time the
market held firm, the strength twlrg ap
parently due more to a scarcity of offer
ings than to any great demand. Bullish
refiorts concerning tbe condition of the
wheat crop in Kunsv helped to support
prices. Itte in the day sentiment hei am.
somewhat easier on profit taking and on
Selling brought out hv a considerable In
crease In the visible supply. The weekly
report of a Cincinnati trade journal w;is
also construed as being slightly bearUh.
According to this authority the snows nnd
rainp of the past week hava afforded the
wheal crop partial relief from the pre
vailing drouth. While the ground Is still
drv, existing conditions on the whole were
chilnvd to la quite favnrabl". After a
reaction to $1.1nfi!.10t the May option
closed at $1.11. a fairly firm undertone be
ing manifested at the finish Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to Krt.Srtt
iiuahels. The amount on passage decreased
S.Mu.taat bushels, while the visible supply
Increased l.tTl.onu bushel!". I'rmary re
ceipts were l.trtS.unn bushels, compared with
1.6'Ot.SiA bushels a year sn. Minneapolis.
Duluth und Chicago reported receipts, of
71 care, against 1.182 cars last week and
'.7 cars n year ago.
Considering tha enormous total receipts
the corn-market had a fairly firm tone.
The volume of buslneeai was comparatively
light. A feature of the trading was the
approximate equality In value of the May
and December deliveries The strength of
wheat was the Influence that offset tha
effect of liberal local receipts. May opened
unchanged to c lower, at 4fVa4fc. so'il
tipto 4."i'a 4Tic and dosed nt 46o. Ixical
receipts were I.1124 cars, 4 of contract
grade
A ateadv tone prevailed In the oats mar
ket. Trading was almost entirely IocmI
nnd wiia largely of a scalping character.
May opened unchanged to c. lower, at
31 c to 31i3tc, sold up to 31c and
clotted at 31i31c. Local receipts were
iM cars.
Provisions were firm throughout the en
tire aeaaion. Owing to decreasing receipts
of hogs sentiment was Inclined to bulliiJi
neaa. Hrokera were fair purchaaers of
lard At the close May iork was up 10c.
at $12.92. Lard and rlba were each
higher, at $7.12. and $ti.77ti.80. re

NEW YORK. Dec l'V-The flick market
fell Into a holiday tut today. Beyond that
fait there Is little to chronicle, i here was
a brief recovery In the early dealings ftom
the dee.lno which Was In tone wnen the
market timed on Saturday, but tresh ec
c. ntn ity on tl.i- p. 1 1 't A ,.kiiii:iii Cop
per was the signal for a subsidence of In
terest and a mining of prices, as on Satur-
The movement In Amalgamated t opper
was not violent, but the quick response of
the n st of the market to Its slight demon
stration was a testimony of the state of the
terrorism In which an element Is held by
the threat of this stock's action. The ad
vance, which waa Interrupted by the In
timidating effect of the break In Amalga
mated Copper, was not resumed with sny
force or confidence afterward, although the
copper stock Itself steadied and lecsme
quiet without further disturbing manifests
lions. Trrn rise was led most conspicuously
by the Cnlted States Steel stocks, and
manv reports were in circulation of the
prosperous condition of affairs of the cor
poratimi at present Among these wss an
sxortinn that It had been determined to
raise the prices for steel platen, bars and
structural materlnl, the amount of the ad
vance being alone uncertain. The Pennsyl
vania group of railroad stocks made lis al
most invariable response to news of steel
trade conditions and to reports of traffic
officials to the effect that the congestion of
III commodities connected with the steel
trade was so grest as to threaten car short
ages on tha eastern railroad lines affected.
Reports nf railroad truffle from other sec
tions were almost equally favorable and the
day's returns of gross earnings for railroads
for the second week of Deoemlier showed
good uniform Increases throughout tho
country. The expansion of the movement
of corn to market Is especially notable and
helpful to railroads In the corn territory
The bunk statement of Saturday wss con
sidered as giving assurance of exemption
from stringency over the year end. but the
conservative tone developed In the trading
mav he traced to money market considera
tions. It Is felt that the present assurance
of quiet In tha money market has only been
secured bv the withdrawal of commit
ments to the stock market, which was by
the recent shaking out of weak holdings.
The time Is not considered propitious for
Immediately tying up these resources again.
The vearlv requirements remain to be met
and the current of gold Is still outward.
Demand was strong for exchange for
Wednesday's steamers, that being the last
ship available to meet obligations In Lon
don before January 1. It Is not to be for-
f often moreover, that the withdrawal of
lO.OOO.noo of government deposits la to be
met by January 15. Prices slipped hack
during the day to about where they left off
on Saturday, and the closing was heavy.

CATTLE There wan a verv llaht run of
cattle here this morning and as all the
pacKcra) were willing to take a few the mar
ket ahowed some little Improvement. Buy
ers staiird out in good aena.in and It was
not long before everything In sight waa dli
posed of.
Cornted nicer were very icarce today
and In tact there weie not enough on sale
to make a test of the situation. The few
that did arrive etild nt nrlcea that looked
quite tl little higher and the general market
could safely be limited strong to a dime
nigner. ! rom Hie way packers acted It
waa evident that had anything choice been
on sole very satisfactory prlcea would have
uccu paiu.
There were aeveral cars of western! In
the yards and a Hiring sold to killers for
$4.0.1, w hich looked like a good, strong price.
They were havfedn. Cows from the same
shipment brought $3.16. Some commoner
Kinds that ordinarily would have gone lo
feeders sold to killers nt good, strong
prices.
There wns mote life to Ihe cow trade and
anything at h 11 desirable changed hands
freely at strong prices and some sales
looked as much aa a dime higher, ("aimers
did not ihow much of any Improvement,
nut tney were easier to sell in tnat packers
would bid on them whereas last Friday It
waa almost Impossible to find a buyer. Most
everything was sold in good season.
Bulla, veal calves anil stags nlso aold
readily nt fully nr good prices as were paid
last week.
(Julie a liberal proportion of Ihe receipts
consisted of Blockers and feeders nnd most
of them were of rather Inferior utiHllty. The
better grades were In active demand at
prices running strong to a dime higher, but
common Blockers were not vety active and
only about nlrady. Representative sales:
