Government fig ures today on the wheat yield of 1IU4 in the United States fell about lU.oOO.OuO bushel under the expected totul, and canned the market to rally in a derided manner. Quotations clotted steady at c to mc net advance. t)thor sKculative articles made gains as well corn. "4c to ,'4,&:'ic; oats, V'jc, and provisions, lJf 12Sc to 2oc. According to private crop experts, i10. OOo.oOti bushels wns about nhat the final report from WaahinKton would show aa the aggregate of domestic spring and winter whout produced this season. Considerable of a flurry developed as a result when the official announcement was posted giving tht amount roundly as MH ,000,000 busiiela. Except for a small ujt turn early owing in the main to atrenstii at Liverpool, the market here had been tending downward under short selling, baaed largely on belief that the govern ment, report would favor the bears. The ensuing advance, however, continued right up to the close of the session. Export houses became good buyers after the wheat market began to rise in earnest It waa said the harvest condi tions were less favorable In Argentina, and that offeringa from there to Europe were very light. On the other hand the world's available supply statement ex hibited an Increase of as much as 9,300,000 bushels. Buying of cotton throughout the day was of a better claas than the selling, many investment orders being filled dur ing a temporary decline, when wheat Was on the down grade. The smallneea of the receipts here formed a help to the bulls. Washington figures on the yield of corn were slightly below what had been looked for. Active call from the seaboard put firmness into oats. The government ra- 1 port aa to oats turned out just as ex- peciea. Broadening demand for provisions was .generally conceaea to exist, the natural effect of helow-xern weather. Offerings were so scarce mat snorts rushed to cover. urain prices furnished by Logan A prnn, oinre : Koutr, wxtnth street navel. HUs. tkis.

Other market points were heavily loaded and reports aa to the condition of the market were everywhere discour aging. As noted yealerUay the country seldom falls to rush In a lot of unfin ished and Immature cattle during the early part ot December and aiwaya with disastrous results. It should be borne In mind by the country that the demand for beef steers during December la never any too brlak, owing to the popularity of poultry during the holiday season. As a matter of tact there Is aiways a call for a lew fancy Christinas cattle, but the demand Is never good for halt-fat and Immature beef, thus it happens that barge runs of unfinished cattle In Decem ber never fall to bring about a had slump in values. To withhold such rattle from this market and ship them to some other will not help matters In the least, as all markets are breaking In about the same proportion. In fact, Chicago led ths break, 'J he trado on beef steers was very slow and dull all the morn. rig and the same waa true of cows and heifers. Prices were unevenly lower, being anywhere from 10c to aa much as 25o lower 111 some cases than yesterday. It would be asfo to iuoU the general run of fair to pretty decent kti da of killing cattle around 60c lower than last week. The best feeding steers, owing to the moderate supply of that kind, have not shown so much decline, but they are pos sibly 16m26o lower than lai 47tek. On the other hand the medium trades, that Is, the fair to pretty decent kinds, are' right around &00 lower than the high spot ! last week. Quotations on cattle: Prima vrlm..

The eatimate called for r.uoo head, most of which were fed offerlnKS from Colorado. Nehraaka and Iowa, Including a few wheat tieid lambs from Idaho. The proportion of aged sheep was a little larger, alih ewes pre dnmlnat.ng. The quality waa fuilv as good and possibly a lit tie better In soma cases. Several loads or lambs were car. rled over from yesterday. While lamba were more active and In better demand this morning prices were nn better then about steady. The range ot pricea continues relatively high, con sequently the packers were much op- posml to any advance, it was a good market nevertheless, with the bulk of the lamba moving at 17. 7508. 36, the lat ter figure having heen paid lor twin corn fed and wheat field grades. The belter feeling waa more apparent In the rase of aged sheep, which sold at steady to strong pricea. The range on ewes was at Iii.00iv6.ii0 for the most or them.

Dec. lS.-The outcome of today's stock market, which was awaited with espeilnl interent because It signalled a resumption of dealings In the entire list, waa said by brokers to have been a source of disappointment to tne long ac count. Initial quotations In all promi nent Issues, Including the International list, so long under cover, gave pmmlaej o'. a continuance of the strong tone snown In the two preceding sessions. With the flmt anna of a demand how ever, heavy selling orders appeared and advances stain gave place to decline, which grew with the passing hours, la the final hour these ran from two to over five jmtnts in the more active issues, with little recovery toward tha close, frilled Hlales rUeel and Baltimore As Ohlowerc especially susceptible to ai.i rope an Tnie rests "were" acirva on ti'tal 'shut of the account, disposing of fully 3o,0Ut) shsrea. More than half the day's business was transacted In the first hour, the balance of the session being dull and without noteworthy feature, aside front Its dropp ing tendency. The decline wss assisted, to a consluerable degree, Ii waa beiteved, by realising for prntita and by soma bear 01 short selling, which waa resorted to desi Ite supposed safeguards. On the whole, the course of the mar ket reflected conservatism on the part of Investors, no less than caution hy tha bears, who realised that tbe margin be tween the existing level and the mini mum Imposed by the exchange left little room for profits. 1chs waa heard today of the reported, attitude of the Interstate Commerce, commission respecting the eastern freight rale Increase and the fact that the large ateel Interests were soon to ar range their wage schedules for the Dom ing year, with prospects of a general re duction, made for further pause in that quarter. Relchmarks were weaker, a condition somewhat at variance with the re port a of Herman slock sales here, nibs oa London were steady and the markets at that center reflected stronger tone. lxmg-tlme loana In the local market hardened a trifle, with short dates un changed.
