CHICAGO. Dec. 3S.-Heavy proflt-tsk-Ing
by large holders. Including a widely
known "peculator, gave the wheat mar
ket today a sharp setback after a de
cided advance. The selling was Influ
eneed to some extent by fear that Argen
tine offerings would cut considerable
figure In the near future. The market
rlosed unsettled at a decline of iv,e to
lVfiTtn net. Com finished l'ufll-Vc to
IVj off, oats down V40 to VoSc and pro
visions unchanged to a drop of 2V.
Wheat quotations did not begin to fall
In earnest until announcement was made
that the Argentine exportable surplus
was now estimated at in0,o,),X bushels,
a total much greater than the trade had
any previous reason to look for. More
over, the quality of the Argentine crop
was said to be exceptionally good. Sales
here that ensued amounted to millions
of bushels, and led to the most violent
bearish reaction that has taken place In
weeks. The downward sweep of prices
was all the more sensational on account
of an earlier advance to within half a
cent of the higheat level since the begin
ning of the European war.
I nusual buying force at the outset in
the wheat market was In a measure due
to reports of anxiety In Great Britain
over prospective delays in the forwarding
of January and February shipments
from Argentina. ,
r.nlarged stocks here and at other
centers had a good deal to do with pull
ing the prtoe of corn down. The early
bulge In the wheat market had only a
Bllxht effect on corn.
Oats followed the course of other grain,
hardening at first and then undergoing
a sag. Shipping sales were largo, In
cluding 1,350,000 bushels for export.
I'sjckers and other stock yard Inter
ests sold provisions freely. In conse
quence, all gains resulting from higher
prices for hogs were completely w Ipcd
out.

CATTL-K The day s tattle run waa tho
largest lor a Monday since two weeas
ago, and with that exception, the larg
est of any recent week, being larger than
a year ago by 2.MW head. Tbo arrivals
consisted largely of stock cattle and
feeders, with quite a llneral sprlnkllnt
of butcher cows and heifers and a very
moderate showing of beef steers. Ad
vices from other selling points were not
especially favorable and tnat, together
with liberal receipts, created a slow and
lower market.
Beef steers were steady to 10c lower
than last week, while cows and heifers
ero generally all of lOtrlftc lower.
Htockers and feeders were aiso lOgluc
lower, and In some cases possibly as
much as ir2rs; lower when It came to
the less duairablo kinds.

HHEEP-Ai compared with a week ago
and two weeks ago a pretty good run put
In appearance this morning, there being,
all told. 8.3U0 heud of sheep and lamb
reported In On the corresponding Mon
day a year ago the run amounted to
12.697 head. Today's receipts were about
equally divided aa to eye and lamba, and
Willi do strictly good lamb ut bandy
weight were on hand, tha quality of tli
w was good, there being aome here aa
good ss has been seen In some time.
The opening of the market indicated a
better feeling, and thia waa helped along
by th report of light receipts at other
Kints anJ a atronger tendency to prices,
cally. fat ewe, though In liberal sup
ply, were the first to sell, with the bulk
of offerings moving around 35.5iaU6.70, the
latter figure being top for the day, hav
ing been paid for fed westerns. The gn
eial market on owes waa strong to ltttrlftc
higher, with everything at all desirable
clearing early.
It waa a little hard In getting action
on lamb during tii earlg hour, due
largely to th fact that no good iamb
of handywelght were available. While
most of the lamb showed pretty good
flesh, they were a little too heavy to
suit packets. Consequently trade waa In
clined to be alow, though in the end,
quality considered, lamb showed about
a much Improvement a . Mct of

Foreign exchange declined to the bot

Christmas Present
to City of Sheridan
SHERIDAN, Wyo.. Dec. 28. (Special )
The best Christmas present th city of
Sheridan ever received cam' from th
Burlington Hallway company In the
shape of a reduction of GO per cent In
the freight rale n moving sugar factory
maohlnery from Monte Vlrta, Colo., to
this city.
When the deal was about complete for
tho removal of the factory from Colorado
to this city the Burlington was approached
for rales between that place and this
city. The first figures submitted by the
company were between 840,000 and 343.000
for merely hauling tha machinery. Tha ,
amount appeared very large to the Com
mercial club of f-herldan and that organ
ization In connection with the Fan Luis'
Valley Beet Hugar company, too up
with the officials of tha railroad, com-.
pany the matter of a reduction.' As a
result th news ram on Christmas that.
4?ut of 60 per cent had ben made,
which will bring th cost of transporting
th machinery to this place to a tittle
rrr SW.ftXi.
Consequently, all Sheridan and Fhcr
Idsn county are exceedingly Jubilant
Hofh have worked hard for months to
secure the remov."; of the hg plant to,
this elty. The cultivation of about s.ias.i
acres In sugar beets has been asftUreM
and th city will donate a site for' the
factory, th coming of which Is now a
certainty.
