Last prices for wheat were the highest
of the aes.slon. Hull interests and local
professional speculators of the larger sort
were rcalplng from the buying side. Many
vague reporta which It was Impossible to
verify became current as to alleged sales
of canh wheat. A good share of the pur
chasing waa done on the basis of this
Mioslp. v
Manv traders rut special emphasis on
the fact that the world supply total showed
a decrease of 4.K17.WO bu. for last week(
KHii.st an Increase of 4.2!,n,0OO bu. a year
ago.
All this atom! In decided contrast wltn
the outlook during the first part of the
Cay. when more snow In the west and
southwest with lower quotations at Liver
pool gave control for the time to the hears.
After the market turned upward Decem
ber showed by far ttie greatest relative
strength. May -ranged from tifcc to 97c,
closing lc up at 97"c.
Corn was wei.k from the start. May sold
between 4So and 4Sc. with the close easy

Rumor of Shutdown of Steel Plant
Causing Selling.
PRICES GENERALLY UNSETTLED
President's MriM(f In War
Factor (vaaerTat Ire Wall Street
Extracts Comfort from Hecom
mendatlona to Congress.
NEW TORK. Dec. -Heavy selling of
Fnlted States Steel based upon rumors,
which were officially denied after the clos
ing of trailing, that the company would
soon announce a partial shutdown at some
of Its plants because of the poor business
outlook, caused a. general unsettlement of
prices In today's stock market. The move
ment was of fairly Itige jroportlons and In
r.timerous Instances brought stocks down
to the lowest level recorded In some weeks.
Tho movement began in the afternoon,
some time after the publication of the
I resident's message, which was in no sense
a factor. Indeed, conservative Wall street
seemed disposal 1o extract much comfort
from tho president's recommendations, par
ticularly his plea that r.o legislation deal
ing -with regulation or control of corpora
tions be enacted pending a further test of
existing laws.

' CAT! LiE Receipts of cattle were very
Ubetal again touay M cars being re
ported In. This taken in connection with
toe large receipts yesterday brings toe
total 101 two nays up to 16,781 head, a
gain over the same das last week of over
o.euO head and a gain of over 4,3ou head
as compared with the same period last
year. It waa In fact tne largest two days
run since the same period last year. It
was in fact the largest two days run
since tnree weeks ago. While Uie arrivals
consisted largely of naif fat cornfed steers
and butcher atock there was also quite a
sprinkling of westerns.
Feeders and stock, cattle were the first
to sell this morning, buyers of that kind
of stock being out in tne yards In good
season In the morning wltn the evident
Intention of buying liberally. The result
ui a fairly active trade on that kind of
stuff, with prices In practically the same
notches as yesterday. .
The market on beet steers was a little
slow In getting started, partly due to
late arrival of trains, When the trade was
once under way, prices ranged nywhere
from weak to loc lower than yesterday.
What has been said In regard to beef
Steers would apply equally as well to
cows and heifers; tney too, were slow and
weak to as much as 10c lower.

II' K1S-"A t raty market." was the way
buvers were dewcrlhlng the h. R tra.le thla
morning. At the opening a few hogs s.l.l
l"U'15c hlaher and that hx-keit like a erv
stiff advance as other nmrkets were nut
reiHirted as very much better. A few min
utes later It looked low, as the market
lumped to lixii 2i.: higher, with some e.ilcs
27c higher. As compared with the low
point yesterday morning It was possible to
pick out sales that were ,10c hinder. The
general maiket was safely liu.'" higher
than yesterday's general market. More
over it was s.'live nt the advance and all
the hogs In sight were disposed of by 9
o'clock In the morning. Heavy hogs sol. I
very largely at $7 8.V.77.50. with the lighter
and butcher weights on up aa hliih as $7 60.
the latter prices bring the top. as against
$7 40 ye5ten1.iv.
The cccarlon of such a wild market was
not very apparent. Advices from all other
market points Indicated large receipts ami
no very great Improvement In the market.
Thus early reports from Chicago gave the
top of the market as only $7.r.. with the
bulk at $7.4.Vu7 .60. or shout 5c higher than
this market. The only explanation that
can be given is that packers all wanted a
few hogs and as the local receipts were
light they bid the market up.
A few cars of hogs that came In later
after the early receipts had ben dispose. I
of were entirely neglected by buvers. it
seemed as If the early receipts had filled
their orders and they would not even bid
on the late stuff. Thus It happened that
the market closed flat with several loads
unsold.

SHEEP Receipts of sheep were very
liberal thla morning, there being a very
fair run for this season of the year. As
advices from other selling points, especi
ally from eastern markets, were still very
unfavorable, the market did Just what It
was expected to do in the event of liberal
receipts that is. It became dull snd wesk,
the advance of yesterday was all lost and
In some ca.es posMbly more.
A few pwm that happened to be In good
demand sold nt steady, or very close to
steady, prices. Oood fat ewes tiroiight all
the way from $3.00 up to $S.3B. Wethers
were very slow buyers, being backward
about making any bids at all and they felt
the full effects of the prevailing weakness.
About the outside price on the betit fat
wethers would be $176. while It would
tnke very g-ood light yearlings to bring
$4.75. There were no choice light western
lambs Included among the early recelpta,
but It Is safe lo say that thev would have
to be exceptionally good to bring over $5.75.
Pome very good heavy native lambs brought
$5.2T, but as has been explained many time.
In these columns packers do not take kindly
to the hesvy lambs.
There were a few feeders In the yards
this morning and they sold about as high
as any time. Llirht western feeding lambs
sold as high as 85.15.
Outside of a few esrlr sales of ewes It
would be safe to quote the general market
on killers as 104716c lower with wethers
lorSc lower thgn yesterday. Considering
that the market at this point was 10fJ16c
higher yesterday, while other markets were
lower yesterday and anywhere from weak
to 25e lower today, the market at this
point la by no means bad In comparison.

M. Linn Bruce, chl. t .- ..ins. I for tho leg s
latlve investlR.itinir committee before which
he was A w.tmss Inst week.
The letter was niiule public tnnisM. with
ft brief letter from E. K Sturg's, treasurer
of the Jockey club, saving Hint Sturgis
was In error when he testified recently Hint
James W. Wa.lsworth, Jr . . p. .iker of the

"The great bulk of my time s devoted to

rant. "The warfare waged acninst raclnR in
vited a volume of litigation almost incredi
ble In character and extent, goinir back
many years. The life of the sport was nt
stake. We did everything In our power,
through our publicity carnpaiini. to crato
and maintain a s -ntiment among the people
that would prevent destructive legislation.
"We employed the best legal talent that
could bo had to represent us In iho courts,

Fourteen Teams Stay
in Long Bicycle Race
During the First Day
Average Speed Twenty-One Miles Ptr
Hour Attempts to Gain by
Sprints Fail.
NEW YORK, Oee. 7.-AI1 of the fourteen
teams remaining In the, six-day bicycle
race were tied at midnight last night at
close of the twenty-fourth hour, with r.'.T
miles 3 lape. This la only one lap lest
than alx miles better than tho former rec
ord, made by Anderson and Vanonl in
1909.
Although the pace aet all day and last
night was a record-breaker, only one team
had dropped out by midnight. The terrifio
clip proved too much for Germain and
Verllnden, the French-Belgian team, and
they retired In the seventh hour, after
having been left hopelessly In the rear.
The average speed during the day was
about twenty-one miles an hour, but be
tween 10 o'clock and midnight several
sprints were started and new marks made
every five minutes. The leading faotor
In these attempts to steal a lap were Rutt
and Stol, Moran and MacFarland and
Clarke and Walthour. In every Instance
their efforts were futilo and the fourteen
teams were on equal terms when the twenty-fourth
hour had expired.
Nearly 9,000 persona In the garden cheered
every time a sprint was In progress. Tha
most remarkable thing about the event so
far Is that not a single accident occurred
within the first twenty-four hours of more
Importance than a punctured tire or a
broken chain.
