[ Special Telegram to the Hr.i.1 : For several weeks , mid , In fnet , iilmost ever since grain prices began to move upward , n good part of thu professional trad ers have been looking for u break. They have siivcral times believed that It was duo nnd hnvu acted upon their belief , much to their discomfiture. Hut to-day It cumc. It was not very large , but V.MS something inoro than u halt In the upward movement and the bears tire somewhat jubilant. Wheat and corn each lost about lc during the morning session , but this docs not represent the ex tent of the fluctuations , because ut one tlmo In the day there were better prices in both pits than the opening , nnd the close was In thu most oetivo dells-cries , Bolncwlmt higher than the lowest point reached. May wheat opened at S.V e , advanced to Kio and then fell steadily to SI's'c. The beginning of the ilccllno was caused by heavy rcall/.lng and when It was once started , stop orders coming In accelerated the movement. All faith In the grain was not dead , however , and after this dip of l jfc there was a reasonably steady Improvement until May wheat touched S.Vt'c- ngaln , when there was another reaction to ttio neighborhood of 84 } e , at which price It closed at 1 o'clock. January wheat opened nt 7bJ o , sold down to 77 , } u and closed there at 1 o'clock. Thu believers In wheat do not think that the faith of the country Is broKen nnd attribute the decline to-day largely to rcali/.lng of profits by outsldo speculators , The country has made money on the advance und is expected to come after more money on the lenctlon. On tlio other hand bears con tend that while speculation may raise prices , it can't keep them up , and itro talking about a return to the level of last summer's j > riccs. Corn opened about ' < < ' under thu closing prices of yesterday at Mli c for January and th > } { for May. Thu scnmitlomil feature of this iimrket was the attempt of one local trader , now heavily loaded with corn , to put the prices up. Under his bidding the price for May delivery advanced f lorn r > 5e to iMi ; < , e , but thu bidder evidently got very much nmro grain than ho wanted and was obliged to turn seller , wheicupon the price fell to . "ilJsi1 , iishcerdrop of IJjJo. Twice after that the May delivery touched ftrOfc , but lingered most of the tlmo between fHS e and , ° > 4 ! , e nnd finally rested at 1 o'clock at 54JjC. Aside from thu one struggle between local tradcis noted above the feature of this mar ket , us in wheat , was thu heavy rcali/ing by longs and on the sharp dcclinu thu stop or ders from thu outsidu. January corn Hold up on the early advance to fil'fc , then down to 4.iXo ul'd closed there at 1 o'clock. Then1 was quite , active trading in oats and the miukct developed considciable strength in early dealings , but later there was a re liction and prices receded sharply toward thu close of tlio regular session. Onu o'clock quotations for May stood at ! ! : ij c , January nnd February closing at : ! ll'fe ' and yo e re spectively. May opened at ! tlj : < e , or about .vstei day's closing price , and on the early bulge that future sold up to 'U'.fc. ' Kc.ili.-.ing by longs was the principal cause of the re- r.ction. In thu provision trade something of a ro- ni'llon was experienced. The opening was quilo btiong and In the early part of thu ses sion pork sold -J'J.jiUro !

Before the mar ket , however , became accustomed to the en hanced values a general desire was mani fested to realize. The country , Into buyers and some prominent packers loaded down thu trade with offerings nnd as the demand proved Insufficient ! ! severe break followed. In the receding turn thu movement was irregu lar , but it steadily dropped to a lower level and at 1 o'clock extreme inside pi ices prevailed.

[ Special Tclegran to the Br.i : . ] STOCKS The New Yorl market for shares opened with an improve incut and for n few moments the clique managed to frighten the shorts in St. Paul Loulsvillo & Nashville and I-ackawanna When they ceased covering the last weak cned and a decline of 1 per cent occurred The market was entirely professional , out aiders cut no tlguro whatever , and it look like a hopeless case to try and iiiaugurati J , anything in the way of a bull movcmcu ' without their support. It is a poor tlmo o the year to get up any enthusiasm on the loni ldc of stocks. Many prominent houses an in-rayed on the bull side and it Is well-knowi that they arc loaded to the guards with thei Bitccialtles and of course uro very anxious fo : nn upward market , Buying from London i entirely of n scalping order. They knoy ncross the water as well as we do on this slili that the rapid advance tj cereals , which i ! luised on short crop , means lighter earning next year for all our western Hues. The rail roads cannot expect l SS to give them th dividends that 1S-S7 has furnished. All th railroad manaijci-a will acknowledge that the , nntlcipato a decided fulling off. With then facts staring operators in the face It U no surprising that but few can bo tempted t take any stock In uny permanent advance At times the bears overdo business on the ! Bide of the house by overseeing , as has bee thocaso In St. Paul , Union Pacific and Lout ; Villo & Nnshvlllc , then thu cliques In thcs properties engineer a twist on the ) sellers an When they cover the market falls flat. Th fccling'tunt any moment uiouey may be maO uncomfortjibly close Is nlso.A disturbing cle ment. Whni we get .Into the new year and congress gets down to work we may expect lo see a little more blue sky In the situation and In tlio meanwhile .the Impression Is that stoelts will gradually seek n lower level. It will be much easier to build the frame work for an upward movement on prices , say 5 per cent lower , than at present. Tim market would certainly prove morn attractive nnd there would bo p. clitineo of the publle lend ing n helping hand , As the day waned the innrkct became rather feeble nnd the proper ties so bouyant early In the session were con spicuous by their weakness. In the final dealings the tone was rather feverish. The message did not help matters and stocks were down to nbout the lowest for the day. ( tovnuNMEXT * Government bonds were dull and heavy to weak.

The unseasonable weather is in part accountable for this , as Intending buyers cannot realize that Christmas Is so near at hand and postpone their purchases. Collec tions nro slow. Wholesale liquor merchants report both city nnd country trade as good and collections fair. The only exception is Dakota , wheie payments have been so slow that Omaha dealers do not wish to carry their customers any longer , and nro allowing them to drop from their list. The uncertainty ns to the $1,000 license has interfered with the collec tions from city rctnilers ns many of them were holding back their receipts in order to raise the amount of their license fee.
