the official reort. Home advice from
the southwest and northwest are bullish.
When the wheat market turned weak
corn trader were Inclined to take profit
t.n the advance and till gave the market
an appearance of betna heavy. The coun

CHICAOO. Dec. M. Assertions that the
alleged damage to the Argentina crop
had ben made, too much of put the wheat
market today on the clown grade. Clos
ing prices liowed a decline of M,o to
',u net. Corn Untitled at H'bu to He
advance: oatn, unchanged to a sixteenth
up, and hog product varying from 60 off
to a Ilka amount Increase In coat.
Selling ot wheat waa largely dona by
local professional speculator. Their cue
was taken from the fact that Argentina
weather reports appeared greatly Inv
proved, but a mora powerful influence
waa an expert opinion that the effect of
rain would not ba as aerlou as prevtou
statement Indicated, and that the key
to the situation wa south Argentina,
where the outlook at present waa mot
promising. Fairly liberal receipts north
went of Chicago, and fin rain and snow
lell over the entire hard winter wheat
country west and southwest added to
the force of bear sentiment. Toward the
end of the day, however, buying on the
part of cautious shorts led to the re
covery of nni of the lost ground.
n During the session May ranged from
SSo to 9iic, closing firm but Vu"ac
, uown at MUa,
An official prediction of unsettled
weather forced the core market to a
Mttber level. It was noticed that even
without such a further handicap the
cuuntry movement waa light and that
roads were bad generally throughout the
belt. May fluctuated between 114 and
t.V closing steady Wiio net higher at
tHitVo. ( ash grades were In anly fair
demand. No. S yellow was not quoted.
Notwithstanding that the oats market
wa alow and heavy most of the day,
valuea In the end responded a little to
the strength of -urn. The hardening waa
due partly to a desire by shorts to se
cure profits. High and low limits reached
for Hay were y,c and 4hWo, with the
close se, exactly the) ait me as lant night.
Mont of ths day's tnid In provisions
consisted of changing January holding
to May, warehousemen taking the carry
ing: side. When the pit was cleared th
market atood virtually unaltered, within
a nickel either way from twenty-tour
hours before.

MONEY SCAECE IN GERMANY
Heavy Bnylns of ftterl Prodnet Ri
pected from Eallroads and Oea
rrally Favorable Conditions
Are Reported.
NF.W YORK, Deo. 20.-The insistent de
mand of Herman hank for "over-year"
fund wa the significant fenture on
what otherwise was a dull day In Wall
street. Large amount already have
been loaned to Germany, Seven per cent
was paid for the greater part of this
money, and offers at "4 to a, per cent
advance of this rat were reported. The
amount of American credits In tlermany
Is, of course, unknown but It I believed
not less than 1 120, ft 10,0110.
Cable advices were that an acute strin
gency prevailed In the Oerman money
market, an wa Implied by the urgency
of the demand for funds. The present
Ituntlon wan nald by International bank
ers to be the result of over speculation
In Germany, over expansion of credits
snd the withdrawal of fund by France
In the fall, at the lime of the Moroccan
care. Unusual Interest attache to this
situation because of the fact that a large
f'art of the loan contracted here by Her
In Interests In the course of the Moroc
can dispute, mature at the end of the
next month. Unless these loan are ex
tended, Germany's financial reaources
will be put to a severe tax.
. In th stock market buniness fell oft
sharply. With no new Impetus sufficient
to a decided trend, prices moved In an
Irregular, aimless way. Some appear
ance of strength wa lent by a two point
advance In Union Pacific and a continua
tion of the upward movement In special
ties which have been prominent recently.
The electric shares, International Har
vester, American lleet Sugar, Central

buyars very long to clean up everything
in the way ot dsoent beef steers tn sight.
I-As a result practically everything In the
yards in tne way or killers was sold and
weighed at an early hour, the prices
paid were fully 10c higher than Vester-
uay, and In some cases more. This means
that the market today was safely 20c
higher than last week s close, and in
some cases more than that.
Cows and heifers showed about th
same advance as beef steers, and they,
'.00. ar xoo or more higher than - last
week's clone.
The demand for feeders has been rather
slim this week, with the result that pi lea
have eased otr. it win be remembered,
however, that last week they did not
break as much as did kiliers, hence the
are still high in comparison to tn way
tat cattle are selling.

or very nearly so. Packing demand cen
tered upon tnppy corn-fed Jambs, despite
an Increasing proportion of this class of
stock, and the brisk Inquiry for quality
string was plainly responsible for Im
provement. Retail orders for fancy
scored carcasses are more plentiful at
this time ot the year and In order to fill
these orders properly packers unually
show a decided partiality for plump,
corn-fed stock.
Total receipts were limited to about
S.OvO head, an estimate that served to put
additional life Into the trade, and by
10 o'clock almost everything with finish
had changed hands. Choice fed western
lambs touched 6 and near prime offer
ings, both natives and westerns, landed
at $5.90. Medium lambs moved at and
under $5.50. the full dollar range In prices
being preserved.
Matured muttons were purchased In
fairly active fashion, but did not find nn
outlet an readily as fat lambs. Ewe sales
were frequent, and business In heavy
wethers proved rather light, a fat ewe.t,
rather than wethers and yearlings, mada
up the bulk of the nheep supply. Attrac
tive ewes with more or less weluht
brought $3.40ft3.60, and Inferior grade
sold under $3.25. Something strictly choice
In the way of corn-fed ewe would prob
ably sell at $S.li'3.66. prime wether ar
quotable up to $4.
Display of feeders had a remnant ap
pearance and nothing much happened lo
afford anything like a fair tent of val
ues. The two days' purchase on country
account, according to packers' tabs,
amounts to only ,200 head.
- Spreads showed the usual 60-cent range
between prime lard and poor light grades,
the best heavies on sale selling at 86.20
as compared with yesterday's top of $0.16.
Butcher animals moved around $6.006.05
and light averages sold from $6.00 down
to 6.$S5iffS.70. There were only a few,
small bunches ot pigs among arrivals
and values remained unchanged, ranging
from $4.26 to 86.36.
