Cash wheat sales last week were the
largest on the crop. Takings during that
rerlort pere vsrlously estimated at frm
oon.om to llom.ow bushels In all positions
and at least two-thlrda of this wheat was
sold by Chicago houses with branches In
the southwest and east. On Saturday
last the purchases of one foreign govern
ment In the market were reported at
J.SQG-MO hualMla In will n A u.Mk.M 1.
was said at that time that this same ! m l
government nia run prices ror another
round lot, bt that the wheat waa not
to be had under the conditlona asked by
the would-be buyers.
The trade continues light and wholly
of a professional character and specula
tora under these conditlona are Invariably
grouped. They are all to he seen on the
bull or the bear side of the market and
they change their position as quickly as
possible whenever It Is necessary to do
so, and there Is sure to be someone to
suffer losses on the qulok changes. The
big men In the trade are to be seen la
the market In the wsy of "hedging"
against sales, and these conditions are
generally the leading influences.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14. Unexpected'anlarge
ment of the Unl.ed States visible supply
total acted more than an oft set In wheat
uj, ir an aavance aue mainly to bull
ish cablea. The market closed steady, but
c to 4fee under Saturday night. Other
certals, too, showed net declines corn,
HtSAic to 4c and oats a shade to Htro.
Provisions gained 6910c. What chiefly
utset the accuracy of predictions In re
gard to tha visible supply of wheat was
the fact that the report of stocks afloat
at Buffalo exhibited art Increase of 10,485,
0X) bushels, wheieas the aggregate on
the whole chain of lakea last week was
on'y U65.000 bushels, with none at Buf
falo. Rumors that the kaiser would have
to undergo a surgical operation tended
further to weaken the market As a re
sult, prices crumbled rapidly in the last
hour, and there was no sign of any Im
portant rally.
Higher quotations at Liverpool had
given the wheat market a decided lift at
the outset. Besides. It wsa disclosed that
breadstuffs were going to Great Brotain
from Montreal much more liberally than
had been reported and North American
shipments to Italy were being made on a
huge scale. There were alao bullish ad
vices from Australia and Argentina, but
iuch reports were soon lost sight of
when the late decline got fully under
way.
Corn, like wheat, was affected by an
increase of the visible supply. At first,
however, the tendency of prices waa up
ward in sympathy wtlh other grains and
because of tbo lightness of country offer
ings In contrast with Improved shipping
demand, parti v the result of sero weather
emphasising the call from feeders. Oata
were awayed by the action of wheat snd
corn. Most of the time trading was of a
loeal character, although cash sales
amounted to 8o,000 buahela.
Larger receipts of bogs fsiled to have
much effect on the provisions market.
Shorts were active buyera and there waa
virtually no selling pressure on the part
of holders.

io me extreme demoralisation of
the market at Chicago and the discour
aging reports sent out at that point all
western markets broke more or less,
while the trade waa extremely slow and
dull from start to finish.
Nearly every year the country makes
th mistake of flooding the market with
hair-fat cattle in December, which It
the ioo rest month in tha year during
which to market that class of stock. I
cembcr la tlrst of all a poultry month,
and the demand for beef is In conse
quence more or less restricted, eut-h do
manu as there Is for beet during Decem
ber Is largely for the choicer graura.
Hence, wnlie a few Christmas cattle sell
exceedingly well In the eany part of De
cember, half-fat, warmed-up or unfin
ished beeves of all kinds are negiec.ed,
and It does not take very many catt.e of
that description to break the market.
With Chicago breaking down It la im
possible to prevent western markets trom
going In the same direction. It is es
pecially to be regretted that the country
should sacrifice Its tinflnlsned cattle dur
ing December because there' can be no
question but what tney will all be neeoed
between the first of the year and the
coming of grass cattle.
The trade on killing cattle at thia point
dragged aiong all the morning, buyers
being inclined to await the outcome at
other points before doing very much
business. As a result, the trade on beef
steers, cows and heifers was not only
siow, but around ltraQoa lower,
Wlillo a few of tne feeder cattle that
Just happened to strike the lancy of
buyers may have sold at prices that were
not far trom steaay, the general market
was 1(11 lic lower on stockers and feeders.

Coal of Alaska is
Practically Perfect
For Uses of Navy
I ! IT t
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Secretary
Daniels today told the house naval com
mittee that tests completed) ten days ago
on coal from .Musk a Matsnuska fields:
had proved practically perfect for naval
use.
The report of successful naval testa)
of Matanuska coa.1 was sprung aa a sur
prise by the secretary, who waa elated,
particularly because of plans going fors
ward for the Alaska railway to open tip
the coal fields. It was more gratifying,
ha said, in view of tha fact that last
year tests Indicated that Bering live
coal was not suitable for naval use.
The report shows that the Bering testg
were repeated on the coal from tha
Matanuska for seven days on a foroed.
draft of four hours at a apeed of twenty
knots, a natural draft test of twenty
four boura at fifteen knots, and another
of forty hours at ten knots.
"Unlike the tests made with the Bering
tver coal last year," the secretary said
In his memorandum to the committee,
"It was not necessary to hand pick tha
Matanuska coal for these tests. It waa
used in the same condition aa when de
livered and the results are so satisfactory
as to justify the belief that tha Matanuska
coal Is In all respects satisfactory for
navy use, provided that the coal tested
Is a fair Indication of the general char
acter of the coal In that field.
"Tha official report of tha teats states
that the firemen pronounced the forced
draft trial the easiest twentv-knot run
j the srmored cruiser Maryland had ever
made. On tne other trials also there waa
absence of those difficulties usually toast
when poor coal la used. The firing waa
easy and steam pressure was easily main-,
tallied," ssld the secretary. "Tha coat la
said to have burned like pine knots. An
unofficial report on the evaporative teeg
at the experiment station practically cotw
firms the Maryland's tests.
"The general result Is very gratifying!
to the Navy department and point tha
way to a) adequate supply of foal on tha
Pacific coast for tha navy as soon aa
reasonable transportation facilities are)
available."
The Matanuska coal, le said, was aa
good as any coal to be found anywhere.

Stock Market Will
Be Open for .All the
Issues Tomorrow;
NEW YORK. Dee. 14.-An open market
for all stocks on the floor of the New!
York Stock exchange will be created to
morrow. This was decided on this efter-i
noon. It was voted to eliminate, begin-,
nlng tomorrow, the aocaJled clearing
house list and to place the stocks therein,
on the same baa of trading as the IXl
Issues already approved.
The solitary restriction placed upon all
stocks la to be that their prices ahall
not go below the minimum, already eg
tabltahed. .
The chief issues thug placed In tha open
market are United States Steel, Southern:
Pacific, Great Northern, Canadian Fa
clflc, New York Central and Anaconda
Mining issues all known as International
seouritles.
Formal decision to create an open mar
ket subject only to minimum prices was)
made by tha committee of five of tha
stock exchange at 1 o'clock this afternoon
after tha exchange had bean opened for
trading In stocks only seven hustneatj
hours since It wss closed on July , last.
During the session of Haturday and to
day the last vestige of apprehension that
I foreign Investors would dlluge tha local
market with a vast volume of aelllng
i orders was swept away. It was tha fa-
that had prevented the committee front
llatlng the International Issues amansT tha
; approved list for open trading made publla
last Friday arternoon. Trading under re-
etrletlon and supervision of tha committee
was brisk, both Saturday and today ia tha
restricted Issues, but It revealed to the
entire satisfaction of the governors that
there would be no foreign landslide of
orders to disorganise the market here.
Today s action of tha committee means.
It Is believed, that tomorrow tha exchange
will go back to practically tha same foot
as It occupied ' before the Ehiropean war
cloud were visible. ,Tiie minimum price
restriction la only nominal; both Satur
day and today nearly all Issues dealt In
rose high above tha minimum.
