CHICAGO , Dec. 12. Tlic ppectllntlvc mar
kets were nil rntlicr dull today and cxcspt
In provisions prices closed a trifle lower.
The latter Improved somewhat on buying ,
which wns nccrlbed to the packer * . The
news concerning whcnt was In ths main
bullish. The domnnd here for ennh wheat
was Booil. both for rail shipment to wlntei
wheat points mid for prliiB wheat to KO to
store. The pressure to sell wheat fhort
was not quite so pronounced ns It wns
yesterday afternoon. The Cincinnati Price
Current , remarking upon the condition of
the winter whcnt plant , snld that the
weather wag somewhat trying and inatij
sections were lacking In pnow protection
Minneapolis nnd pulutli Rot iCD car loads
leas wheat than on thu corresponding daj
of the week before. The laku shipments
appeared to be over for the season ! today's
outKoltiR nil went by rnll , and such was the
case also regarding the shipments pouted
yesterday and on the dny before. For
the three days the quantity shipped by rail
umountti to 2 i,00i bu. , and on the similar
thrie dnyH of the previous year the quan
tity shipped wns only IG.OuO bu. The demand
for wheat at Minneapolis , both by millers
nnd F.lilppcrn , was said to bo surprisingly
Kocul , nnd San I'mnelcco wired that owliiK
to the competition between millers and
shipper ? there the pi leu wns advanced 3c
per cental. Three cnrRucs , paid a ills-
imlrh from there , were taken for Australia
uml one for Capetown , The dispatch was
onu of the reasons for the advance here of
Uu In the llrst hour. May opened here nt
frum Glc to lil 1-lCc , but dropiicd later to
We. and closed at thut.
Thu corn market preserved Its consistency
by behiK u dull nnd heavy toned as It
has been for no many days' . Speculative
Inquiry reBardlnj- the article appears to
have almost entirely disappeared. Trices
remained almost stationary , and closed un
changed from last night , or n shade lower.
There wns n fairly active market for outs ,
but business ) wns considerably duller than
yesterday. ' A Rood demand existed for
May nt IS ic from big shorts , and snlcs
were rendlly brought about when sellers
offered nt that price. The market was
pllKhtly tinner early , but at the close Just
steady on futures. December sold at l7'/4c ,
which Is % c up fiom yesterday , apparently
a natural narrowing of the difference around
the middle of the month.
I'rovlHlons were llrmer and appeared to-
bo receiving the support of the packers.
The result of the dny'B trading was an
advance of isWo In January nnd 5c In Mny

NEW YOUK , Dec. 12.-The stock market today
retained the Irregularity of movement ttiat hn
recently characterized the dealings. There wa
a pjlnt of difference , however , In the fnct thn
the volume of business was not so exclusively In
the Industrials as herotofoie. The speculallv
movement was Interesting and on a diversity o
Influences Itnltlmjrc & Ohio made a further extreme
tremo break of 3 ? per cent to 47 nnd closed nt i
rally of 1 per cent. The steady downwnri
course of this stock has aroused considerable np
prehension on Ihe part of the security holders
especially ns II has been allended by a vnrlets
of peislstent bear rumors Insinuating mlsmnn
fUrcmcnt , financial embarrassment and over-cap
Utilization of branch lines. Otllclnls of the com
pony make sweeping denials of the rumors. An
other Interesting development of nn encouraging
character wns the resumption of dividends on the
prefened stock of the Denver & Rio Grande
mllroad during nn Interval of over two joara
The nous that the presidents uf the anthracite
cool companies had lecognlzeil the absurdity o
mining nt least double the quantity of cot ,
salable at profitable rates nnd had lecommendei
a 60 per cent resitItllon of the output had ft
logical KOOI effect on the market.
Speculation opened moderately active nnd heavy
In tone. Prices stinen'.nl soon after the Inltla
dealings , but n sagging tendency soon developei
nnd severe recession occutred In Geneial Eire
trie , Louisville & Nashville , T inessec Coal
Union Pncltlo anil Leather preferred. The las
mentioned scored the greatest decline , 14 per
cent. Tht anthracite coal stocks loomed Int ?
prominence In the afternoon dealings on the In
fluences nbove noted , advances being scored ex
tending to 411 per cent In New Jersey Central
The strength of this group carried the other
market , nnd noteworthy gains were made
Leather preferred rose 21i per cent over thtf
early low figure. Consolidated Gas , after some
Irregularity of movement , closed nt the best of
the day nnd nt a gain of 2 i per cent. Atten
tion has Iwen elsewhere called to the downwnri
movement In llnltlmnie * Ohio. The denial of
the stories by President Mayer failed to cause
more than a partial recovery. The olllclal nn
nouncement of the declaration of the 1 per cen
dividend on Denver & Rio Grande preferred was
reflected In ft gain of nbout 1 per cent In the
stock In the final dealings. Sugar , on the other
Imnd , lacked support and lost about as much
The closing was fairly active nnd generally firm
The tnllway l ind market wns easier In tone nntl

rct.isues. The trading In these bonds llgured for
II.15,000 out of ft total for the day of $1,872.000
and they recorded material gains extending In
the first and third preferences to l-Ta per cent
The buoyancy of these bonds helped the oilier

CATTL13 The cattle receipts today were
nbout SOO head short of yesterday's run , but
as compared with Thursday of last weeU
there wns n sllRht Rain.
The ofTerliiRH of beef steers were very
llRht , the break In prices and the unsatis
factory condition of the market having , ap
parently , dlscournKed shipments , ' There
were , however , all the cattle hero that
iv ere needed. As noted , yesterday , the de-
Indifferent buyers. The mnrket nil this
week hns been a drag , with every evidence
of activity wanting , but nt the snme time
salesmen huve been nble to dispose of their
holdings nnd the yards have been clearei
every dny. This morning the market pre
sented the same lifeless character nnd ll
was not so much n question of price as 11
was to get n buyer out to look nt the entile
It wus in fact very nearly n repetition ol
yesterday's market. One bunch of gooi
corn-feil natives , most of them while faces
so'.d nt 54.CO. The pens were cleared before
the close.
In cows and heifers there was a little
more activity and the twenty-five loads here
were cleared up reasonably early. The mar
ket was just nbont steady on nil grndes.
Quite n string of cows from the sand killls
sold at 2.40 and as high as $2.75 was paid
for a load of heifers of good weight.
Stockers and feeders were not very plen
tiful , nnd , though tlieri ? were n few country
buyers In , the ninrkqt did not develop much
activity. The orferiijgs , however , were all
tnken nnd at about steady prices. Representative

Jinny Half Kt-il Cattle on tlic
Market.
CHICAGO , Dec. 12. The smaller cattle receipts
this week are regarded as due to the sharp de
cline last week , country holders being- disposed
to wait for a rally. Inability to borrow money
is said to be forcing great numbers of half fed
cattle on the market. Only about 12,000 cattle
irrlved today , and although the demand was
nothing to boast of , prices were no lower. Most
if the cattle offered today were disposed of at
from 13.50 to (4.60 , fair to good cattle cc-lllng anew
ow nB nt imy time this seasion. A few common
ulcers went for from (3 to $3.40 , and plenty of
choice heavy and medium welshta brought from

14.90 , and a few fancy ChrlstmaH cattle sold at
