tnilCAQO , Dec. 21-Scalpers had nnothcr
hard tlmo of It In the whcnt pit toJay. The
clique bought on tlie flumps and sold on the
bnlRM nnd kept the mnrkct In such a state
of nearvousne-ss thnt the little fcllow wTerfc
badly frostbitten. May closed at Tie de-
cllno after selling * 4c nbovc yesterday's flnal

May wheat opened cosy and about % c
lower than It closed yesterday , at
I lvorpool was only uo hlBher at the open
ing hero and by some tnlstafce the receipts
of wheat at Minneapolis w-ero at first re
ported at 810 cars , Chicago receipts were
very hr-avy , amounting to CTO cars , of which
number 210 wcro of contract quality. Those
wcro the reasons for the opening weakness ,
Minneapolis receipts were soon afterward
corrected to 172 cars and Duluth reported
US carloads there. That made the small
total of 180 cars at both places compared
with C82 cars last .week nnd 5W the nme
day of last year. That correction of the
northwestern receipts turned the Rencral
feeling of the croad toward the bull side
npiln nnd the opnltifrweakness soon save
p'.aco to conrltlerable strength , Mny advanc
ing under good buying to IMlir. This , how
ever , was followed by a reaction to 9lfJ1Hc ,
when ngnln the market turned strong and a
slow lutvance ensued. This seesawing was
kept up all morning.
The first advance was led by the bull
clique and on si-vera ! subsequent occasions ,
when the market appeared to require help ,
the same party was credited with being us
rescuers. Kesldes the 3iO curs contract wheat
received here by rail 41,000 bu. and 1W cnr-
londn No. 1 northern spring were transferred
from unlicensed elevators The total quan
tity of contract -wheat In license ! houses at
the close of bti'lnes * Saturday wus 5.179.WO
bu. . and probably 1,000.000 bu. have been ad
ded to tnat store since. There Is a strong
probability , therefore , that by December 31
there will be S,0 * > ) , < 0 bu. of contract quality
wheat In resulnr Chicago houses. Humors
of vessel room having been taken In New
York for shipment of 17.OiXI.OnO bu. ot wheat
early In January for account of the bull
clique of Chicago were circulated on the
floor.
Kxport houses nt the poaboard feported
very little Inqulrv from abroad , but France
was credited .A-llh . buying l.TO.OX ) bu. No. 2

quarters. GS.O'X ' ) quarters of which were from
America.
Later I the serslon the market became
quite weak under realizing by professionals.
There was tvnson to believe also that the
Leltor crowd sold considerable. The market
gradually declined to SMe and closed easy
nt 91'AC ' There a-cre further large deliveries
of wheat thl afternoon , Armour delivering
7M.OOO bu. and other dealers as much more.
December closed at $1 , where It wound up
yesterday.
Corn was muc'i quieter than the day be
fore and was also weaker. Selling supposed
to bo against more liberal country accept
ance of Chicago bids was a feature of the
morning trading. It recovered part of the
arly decline , but became qulje weak again
latr - nnd was at Its weakest nt the close.
May raiiBoJ from 23"Rc to 291 c nnd closed
% quc lower nt 20W23V.sc asked.
Oats MOS steady for cash and December ,
but lower for "May. " The market was quiet
nnd but little Interest develop d. There was
moderate liquidation of long lines which ,

tnrtor In the dcc'Ine. May ranged nt from

NEW YOHK. Dec. 21. Uuslness In securities
was'for the most part Intensely dull today and
prices sagged from Inaction. The incut notable
movement In the railroad list was In Northern
Pacific preferred , which fell awny a point enlarge
largo realizing sales Induced by the payment of
the dividend of 1 per cent , which wait taken off
the price today. Quotations Irom Ixmdon and
from the German bourses , where this stock Is a
speculative ravotlte , showed that the realizing
movement was In force t.lere nlo , and there were
salm of the stock In this market. The statement
of earnlnss for the second week In December
also ciKOuragtd the sellers with Its Increase of
less than J10.WO over the corretpondlnp week In
last year , us compared with the Increase of over
JluO.tw In other recent weeks. The ttock rallied
a traction before the close. The failure of the
directors of the New York Central to mcretue
the dividend above the quarterly rate of 1 per
cent caused disappointment to Holders of tiiat
stock. T.ie statement for the last quarter was
also considered disappointing , the gross earn
ings Eti-AvlnR only a slight increase over lust
ye. r and fallinc over IGOO.WO below tlic.uo for the
corresponding period in UJ. ! London was a mod-
eralo selle ? In this market of all the International
stocks. The coalers showed a tendency to react
today on traders realizing , nnd New Jersey Cen
tral was at one time ifci per cent below laft
nlKht'tt clase. but it rallied 2 points nnd Its llnal
price was only fractionally below yfste aayU
erratic manner , but were weak. Metropolitan
Street Hallway , on the other hand , was btrong
on talk of a compromise agreement with Its
pilnclpal competitor. The declaration of a semi
annual dividend on the first preferred stack of
2 per cent on St. Joseph At Cirand Island aroused
a demand for other securities of that company.
The tone of the money market continued unset
tled today. Loans were rejxirted during- the day
as high 4 per cent , but at the close of Hie
market they were marked down to 1 per cent ,
and un actual transaction was reported at that
llgurc. This sudden weakening uf call money
had no Innuonce In the prices of stocks , w/ilcli /
were weak and de-cllning at the close , bterl ne
exchange also responded to the stillness In tne
money market with a declineof ii per cent In
fie actual rate for demand bills and V , per cent
In London on flxty day bills. There was a
ulgnlilcant falling In the price of government
bonds the new 4s end the 5s falling per cent
in the bid price. The market was exceeding ; ! '
narrow throughout the day ami many usually
acllve stocks did not move at alK .The bond
market showed a large , falling off In act uty
and prices. A majority of the r'tle9 ' dealt In
snowed losses. Total sales , J1.1M.WJ.
The Evening Postn London nnanclal cable
gram says : "The slock markets here were die

CATTLE Yesterday the cattle market
was slow and weak and the reason given
was that the receipts were so light. Today
the market was better and the reason given
was the same us yesterday.
Whatever Improvement there may have
been was conllned to the steer trade , nnd
there was not enough to bra. ? about , or to
encourage shipments. j\.i the fame time
buyers wcro pointing out cattle that sold
better than the worst time last week.
One thing which was against an advance
was the lact that the quality of the offer
ings was very much on the commonlsh
order.
According to the ideas of sellers t'ho cow-
market was no good. About half of the re
ceipts consisted of cow stuff , whllo the de
mand was of very ordinary proportions.
As to values , the best kinds sold about the
same as yesterday , while everything else
was very slow and weak. One bunch of
fed western cows sold oc higher than some
of the same lot brought last week.
It looks very much as if the demand for
killing cattle was liable to bo of a very In
different character , and if there is to be any
improvement in values , receipts at all mar
ket points will have to be kept down.
A few cattle sold today tor feeders at
Just about steady prices. Representative
