NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-8toeks continued
to drop today on a smaller and mote

(the short account, and when 4 tie) demand
in. in him juarier nan speni its iuice tno
list drlited luly toward lower guotailona.
Ilia sianitlcance of tun s slon as a whola
may be Judged from the iact that a ii
atlvely liKonsplcuoua siwclaity central
leather was the most active feature,
with a gain of IS points.
Irregularity characterised the opening,
followed by general advance wh.cn
provoked fresh selling of the Interna
tional list. It took only a few thousand
shares to reverse the rising movement
and avnd the average under yesterday a.
Nnmeroiia additions were maiie to the
group of stocks selling at minimum
prices. In keeping with lis recent cus
tom, final quotations were at or near the
low level or the day.
Little encouragement was derived from
routine news, which Included reductions
In Louisville A Nashville and the Atlan
tic Coast Line dividends from T to t per
cent and the Southern Paclflo statement
for November allowing a net loaa of al
most (800,000. The government crop re
port also was far from favorable In Its
forecast of winter wheat, which was 2
per cent under the ten-year average.
The Investment market folio ed the
course of stocks. Exchange on Oermany
was lower and Iondon remittances
showed an easier tendency. Rmtuo.lon
in francs was ascribed to the further ex
tension of the French moratorium.
I'reparatluns for the loaning of money

Apart from a gain in gold, the weekly

Features ot the Trading; and Closing;
Prleee oa Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec 17. Emmcnse export
sales, said to amount to more than (.000,
600 bushels In the last forty-eight hours,
carried the wheat market today sharply
upgrade. Closing prices were strong, tr
c to liO above lest night. Other lead
ing staples, too. all scored a net gain
corn, 3'Tc: oats, totfVic to He, and pro
visions, 6c to 10c.
It was apparent from the start that
sentiment In the wheat trade had turned
against the bears. Blgns were discov
ered early that business with foreigners Is
of much larger proportions than had been
reported, and that contrary to popular
belief the European demand Instead of
being diminished by German naval ex
ploits, had suddenly grown extremely ur
gent. Anxiety to purchase for export,
however, showed the greatest force of
Improvement Immediately after the an
nouncement was made that for the first
time this season primary receipts In the
United States had fallen below the total
at the corresponding time a year ago.
Notwithstanding that the government
report on winter wheat acreage and con
dition was regarded as somewhat bear
ish, the acreage exceeding what had been
looked for, the market at no time suf
fered any important setback. Virtually
all other Influences were lost sight of
in view of the huge seaboard clearances
and because of advices of unusual activ
ity f exporters, not only here but at
Kansas City, Ht. Louis and Omaha, and
In the east as well, i
Corn swept higher with wiieat. Be
sides, receipts were smaller, land there
was an improved call from feeders, the
result of cold weather. Offerings to
Europe were all accepted, about 160,000
bushels. The strength of other grain
spread to oats, galea to trie seaboard
aggregating 4.000 bushels. ,
Liberal receipts of hogs Snd the fact
that western packers were pressing the
sale of lard gave the provision market
a setback at first. The bulge In cereals,
however, reversed the course of prices,
and more than offsot the early decline, .

CATTLK Chicago opened the market
thla morning by wiring a break of (l.Ooy
1 Hi al thai point aa oompared with a week
ago. Such demoralising reports aa that
could not fail to have a depressing in
fluence upon all other market points. The
result was that the market hero on all
kinds of rattle opened very slow and weak
and It waa late before buyers and sellers
could get on a trading basis, and still
later before anything like a clearance waa
effected.
Just how much lower the market was
than yesterday would bo difficult to aay,
as prices for the last two days or more
have been very unev.m. It Is, however,
safe to say that the general market Is
76-iri1.00 lower than last week a bt time.
Koine cattle, as a matter of course, might
not show quite that much decline, but
whlnh such a bunch was pointed out It
was possible to find another that would
show more decline to offset It.
Great efforts are being made at all
rrarket points to influoe the country to
hold back their cattle until the glut at
astern points cauld be overcome. The
flood of halt fat and unfinished beeves
bss not only broken the market on that
kind, but has carried down with It the
market on even the best Christmas cattle,
and on all classes of cows, heifers,
stockers and feeder It Is, In fact, the
worst slump experienced by the market
for a long time hack. If the country will
only hend the advice being given and hold
back cattle from all market points there
can be no question but what prices will
steadily recover.

1ICMJ8-Total receipts were 187 cars, or
about 14.000 head. Of these, seventeen
cars were shipped direct, but at that the
supplies today are Uie heaviest In over
two weeks. For the four days the run
foots up 39,530 head, being 22.600 head
larger than last week; but i.UOO head
short of last year.
With a very generous run, and ad
vices from oilier points not overly en
couraging, trade opened out dull this
morning, and even the sales made on
the earlier trade, which proved tu be
the best time of the day, were around tic
lower than yesterday's average. Backers
had things pretty much their own way,
anj as the morning advanced valuta
continued tn weaken, so that before the
close a good many hogs were moving ou a
'lat dime loner basis.
After things had once settled down on
a MlOc lower basis, prices failed to showi
much change. Closing rounds were slow.
In fact. the. trade was mure or leas dull
throughout, but late prices were Just
about the same as the general market,
that is 64l'10o below yesterday's average.
Owing to the dullness of the market It
was lain before a clearance was made.
Bulk of the sales was made st (6 96j'7.10,
