Late cables were strong and gave domes tic markets a sharply higher opening. The advance was due to leas favorable world's crop news and nervousness by short.

Renorta that pros pects were deoldedly unfavorable for an average crop In Oklahoma or the south west part of Kana3 tended today to ad vance the prlo- of wheat. A speculative advance In IJverpoot tied also considera ble effect. The close here was at a net gain of Mo to ao. All the other leading staples showed losses, corn finishing ffo down, oats off HMo to sVjS and provi sions 12415o to H7Hc. Rising quotations, for wheat, were In tha face of an unusual array of bearish news. World shipments were much larger than a year ago and there was said to be an Increase of 84,664,000 bushels in the Russian yield as compared with the previous twelve months. Primary receipts, too, were greatly In excess of those of a year before. On the other hand, rain in North Argentina, drouth In the Punjab, floods In France and Italy, es well as crop conditions In the American southwest received greater attention. According to one authority 59 per cent of the wheat 4.500.0ii0 acres of Kansas and Oklahoma has not germinated. Largely because of this alleged handicap to the winter crop the close was not far from the top figures of the session. May ran between 9TVtO and D&Ttc, with last sales at 9fc, a net gain of 4C Corn consignments were large from Iowa and Illinois. May ranged from 47 o to 47 Vfl 47c, with the close c net lower at i"Vc. Cash was weak. No. 2 yellow finished at 6Ku61HJ. In oata shorts helped prices up early, but weakness followed. May varied from 8474c to S4Ho and In the end was He off. at S3Vt34c. Business in hog products Was on a de cidedly big scale. Last sales .left pork down 36u37tte, lard off 12Ms'iilao to 16c and rlba at a decline of 1517Vfcc to 20c.

Tha northwest depression is accompanied by a very decided rise In temperature and the extension of this low down the valleys during the next thirty six hours will cause lnoreasing cloudiness, with probably snow, in this vicinity tonight or Tuesday, with rising temperature.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND B0MB! . Courso of Market Unimportant, with IU Undertone Firm. OPEXEfO REPORTED IRREGULAR Grata Movement in West Coatlaaes to Ba of Moderate Proportions, aad Money Market Shows Greater Ease, NEW YORK, Deo. 12--Apart from Its fairly firm undertone the greater part of the session the course of today's stock market was unimportant. Trading was light and again confined to the better known speculative leaders. The market opened Irregular with pro nounced weakness In the Harrlman Issues, t'nlted States Steel and the other metal Issues. Following Its general recovery In a movement led by the coal stocks the list held fairly well until the final hour, when reports of another meeting of the steel and iron interests and advices from Chicago stating that a large majority of the en gineers employed on the western roads had voted to strike, sent prices of active Issues to the lowest level of the day and caused a weak closing. The grain movement In the west con tinues to be of moderate proportions, al though last week's receipts at Chicago, amounting to 6.600.000 bushels, is an ln orearo of almost 1,100,000 bushels over the previous week. The western money market shows greater ease, but this tendency Is attributed to decreasing business in many lines. Keen competition for the $3,600,000 gold received in London resulted in an advance of Hd. with a division of the metal. $1.5u0, 000 going- to Berlin, the balance being equally distributed between the Bank of England and India. Domestic exports for November showed fairly large Increases in shipments of corn and cotton, with an extraordinary falling off In wheat. The bond market was easy. Total sales, par value, $2,307,000. United States bonds were steady. Number of sale and leading quotations on stocks ware aa follows: alee, Hlti. Lew. Clou.

Total t CATTLE Receipts of cattle were very liberal this morning 236 cars being reported. At the same time other market points were largely supplied, Chicago especially having a very heavy run. With most all markets heavily supplied and with early telegrams Indicating a lower tendency to values, the trade at this point was natur ally slow and backward, although receipts were really none too large to meet the requirements of the market under normal conditions. Thus It happened that the fore noon was well advanced before enough business bad been transacted to really es tabllsh a market. The market on lightweight beeves of all kinds waa Just about steady with last week's close, but heavy cattle, the same as they have been on most days of late, were low and if anything the tendency was weaker. While the Hunt cattle generally sold in good season in the morning holders of heavier kinds found It alow work un loading. Cows ana heifers were steady to possiDiy a little leaoler on some kinds, in trade waa fairly active on the better grades that appeared pleaolng In tha hand of uuyvjie. Oood feeders sold very xreeiy at steady prloes, but other grades were slow and weak.

Some hogs eaily may have sold a little easier, but there were alao strung spots In the darket as well as weak spots and after allowances wei made th general market was lust about where It wa at the close of lust week. This means that a large proportn of ttie hogs sold at $7 603 7 ho, with the lietter giades of light and light butchers round tr.6uai.65, and on up as high as $7.70, which waa the top last week. One choice load of Beikshires sold up to $7.75, the highest price paid u far this month. The trade wa fairly active at prevailing prices and everything In sight was sold by 10 o'clock In the morning. The mar ket as . whole waa in a good healthy con dition and ao far as tha selling interests Ttera concerned, a lalrly satisfactory con dition. As has been pointed out frequently In these columns, shippers should take not that while the beat light ai.d butcher hogs are still selling at a small premium, buyers are paying more and more attention to quality than to weight, while Inferior loads even If they are light will not bring as much a better loads although of heav ier wt'ght.

The arrival con sisted very largely of killers with only few cars that would do for feeders. Buyers were all out In the yard early in the morning and they seemed to have use for everything In sight, but advice from other market bear down the market. As compared with th high point last Fri day, sales looked all the wav from steady to iodine lower, mostly lottflio lower. A lower market usually means a slow mar ket, but still buyers picked up offering quite readily and there wa considerable activity to the trade, the big end of the receipts changing hands In good season. riony gooa Kinas or lamps sold up tea. $1.15, with yearlings at $6.00. old wether high aa $3.86, and right good owes at $3.7. There were a few bundle of westerns la sight that went to the feeder buyers at good steady prices. As high as $5.36 waa paid for good lamb to go back to tha country on feed and $3.15 for good ewes. .
