CHICAGO. Dec. 11. Wheat surprised Its
friends today and disappointed Its enemies
1)y the derided strength It displayed In the
laoo of a most bearish government crop
report. The firmness of ettblea was per-
liaps the nili-f clement of strength In caus
ing nn advance of l > , ' c In the May option.
Corn nnd oats showed the strength In a
degree , advancing about V4c each. Provi
sions were weak nnd declined from 7V4c
to 15c.
Wheat took Its opening strength from the
Liverpool cables. Mny , which closed weak
yesterday at 7S1Hic , opened today at from
TffiaC to "S'.ic. ' and In ldo of nn hour had
cllmb.-d tip to 79 % . Opening' quotations
from Liverpool showed n decline of ? ld ,
but a later cable , nlso received before the
opening of the session hero , showed a ' .s'l '
recovery. Their general tone wns decidedly
bulllM'n , ono private cable from a well known
Liverpool house remarking that the do-
cllno had brought forward nn active de-
Tiiand and expressed the opinion that prices
had touched bottom. Later cables reported
it further adv.lncc , bringing prices from ' .id
higher for March to Id higher for Mny
than the closing prices of the day before.
The Liverpool strength was said to bo duo
largely to bad reports of tiho Argentine
ivIuMtt crop. It wiui generally expected that
the government crop report would exorcise
it very depressing effect on values. It
Hhowed that the crop sown last fall Is not
only Ti per cent greater In area than har
vested this year , but the. condition Is nearly
jiorfoct and Indicates a yield fully 100.0CO.OOO
IMI. greater than gathered this year , provid
ing always that neither condition nor acre
age suitor any Impairment. But the trade
took the view that , considering all that the
plant fans got to encounter before- the next
Harvest , tight months hence , present con
ditions did not olTor a very safe basis for
f utuio nctlon. New York gave the best kind
of conllrmatlon to the Improved tone of
the foreign markets by reporting a liberal
demand from correspondents of ISngllsh
Jiouses against cable acceptances of their
previous afternoon's offers. The foreign
news wan the principal but not the only
reason for tin ? advance which took place
nftor the opening nnd which was mostly
I'lilntalncd to the end. Northwestern ad-
Mcos were to the effect that receipts there
would bo much smaller after Monday. Ile-
rolpts at Minneapolis and Duluth today
ivoru 637 cars , compared with 9(3 ( cars a
year ago. nnd Chicago received 4S cars ,
iigalnst 172 cars last year. ICxports ol
wheat and Hour from the Atlantic sea
board amounted to the equivalent of T.n.'i.OOO
bu. The closing public rabies were rather
disappointing. Inasmuch as although Liver
pool quoted futures advanced , spot Call-
foriilan wheat was Id lower and No. 1
northern l'/.d lower. Continental markets
were generally llrm. May rose to SOVie by
II o'clock and fluctuated Itolwcon that Ilg-
uro nnd "fl lo during the greater part of
tl.io day , finally closing llrm nt from TJTic
to 7"iiC. ! )
Corn was -jxcesslvely dull , although firm.
The firmness wns principally due to the
ndvancc In wheat , nut It got a slight In
fusion of that feeling from another day'8
rocolptst considerably smaller than yester
day's estimates. Cables were lower.This
nnd the narrowness ot trading prevented
any mateilal advance. May ope'ned un-
clumgod at from 2.V > 4c to 2."i ? < .c and rose to
2Ci ! . closing steady at from 2je to 2ic. (
Whlla a fair business was transacted In
oats , there iwus no such Interest manifested
ns ycstorday and the day before. Prices
were coullned to a narrow range and closed
where they did yesterday , being Influenced
entirely by corn. May opened unchanged
nt from SO'Sie ' to 20V-C , sold to from 20ic
to l'07HC. declined to 20Hc , and closed with
sellers at tiimt price.
Provisions took the opposite course to
that of the day before nnd were dull and
weak today. Local speculator.1 * who had n
little profit In previous ; purchases were
nmong the Hollers. The packers iilso sold
Homo , those of them whoso chief business
Is with the United Kingdom doing the most
of the selling. Heaviness Increased near
the end and the closing prices wore nt or
about the lowest of the day. May Pork
closed 15c lower nt S7.S3 ; May lard about
lOo lower at from J1.02 to $ I.CC ; Mny ribs
about lOo lower nt M.Oi'.s.
Ksllmatcd receipts for Saturday : Wheat.

NEW YOHK , Dec. Il.-Ilrndslrecfs review of
the stock market tomorrow will say : Congress
having actually assembled , the rpeeulatlvo mar
ket has apparently lost much of Its fear regardIng -
Ing the action of thai body nnd Its Influence upon
the llnnnrlul situation. The professional Wall
street operators manifested , n disposition to roll
last Monday on the appearance of the j resident's
message on tiie ground Hint the treatment of the
Cnh'in question was not as conservative ns had
been expected , nnd that t'.e reference to trusl
orKanlznllnn would rllcimniKil leglslathe r.ltacks
on the Industrial tint only In congress , hut In
the stnto Icglslnluros. Tlie message , however ,
rrrdurel little i r no liquidation of lon-j stock , nnd
the Introduction , ns soon ns congress got to
work , nf a variety of resolutions In reference to
Culm had practically no effect. In fuel the slieet
rrcmed to lie under the Influence of lepnrls from
Washington. Indicating that the present congress
was unlikely to take positive aetlr.n of any kind
III the short tlmo that lemalna of Ita existence.
Holders of stocks seem unwilling to sell and
bearish inanlpulnturs simply tneru.ifeil Ihe short
Intcicst and crciiied a foundation for mlllc . T.ie
utter absence of outslilc participation In the mar
ket Is , however , severely felt nnd the trnnNic-
tlons from day to d.iy have been on n very lim
ited scale , nnd were due In the main to the
smaller operators of the hoarl room Itself. The
strength of the better clais of bonds nnd Invest
ments generally lo a feature , hut the demand In
question Is sharply drawn , no far as securities
of a speculative character are concerned. At the
same time , n feeling asserts Itself In speculative
circles thai the augmentation of the Investment
demand nftcr January 1 , especially If congress
shall fall to do nnj thing cnleiil.ited lo dlsluih
Ihe situation , nnd If geneial hu tniFs nnd Invest
ment reIvo.'w 111 lead to n broadening out of the
market with more or less of a revival In the
neilvlty. This naturally Is a result of bearish
operation * In the sticks * while throughout the
week the fluctuations have l cn generally narrow
and devoid of pattlculur significance , nnd fur t'.io
Kix-ater part of the time the market lins been In
a waiting Mate. Europe has inker ) no part In
Hie speculation here , nnd Ihe weaker tune of the
foreign exchange market has been without any
Inlluence on flocks.

NEW YOHIC. pec. II.-The stock mnrket has
ru/cly been as Iliit and uninteresting for n full
business session ns It wna today. The stock In
dicator was motionless for many minutes at a
time , and the meager dealings were purely pro

Tiie speculation displays 11 degree of lassitude
that piecluikd nny favorable Inlluence npi.n
prices from the Increased government cotton crop
estimate and the favorable report regarding the
winter wheat outlook. Aside from the main
restrictive cffecl nf uncertainty regarding tAje
Immediate development at Washington on liie
Cuban nnd other questions , reports of the prob
able refusal of Venezuela to endorse the agree
ment proposed by the l-nltod States nnd Great
llrltaln on Ihe boundary 'question ' , were an In
