i'CltlCAGO , Dec. 27.-A11 the activity ot
[ today's grain nnd provision markets was
Confined to the morning. During the nftcr-
n dullnosH nil the advance In wheat
caused by smaller world's shipments and
Vlho oriental wur talk was lost , May c'loa-
nt VIG'ftc ' decline. Corn nml oats were
( both very Htrong nnd mlvnnecd Ho end
respcctlvoly. Provisions closed nt
i Blight declines.
Wheat opened , linn nt from"c to % c
| for May over the closing price , o Friday , '
Initial Hales rnnglnR from 9l'Ac ' to OlHc ,
' with a few sales a moment later at 910
| OlV4c. An nctlvc trade was done for nn
r and the murkat for that length of
j time mnliilul.iEtl the uppcarancc of strength
fwlth wtlilcli It Htnrtcd , May selling an high
It pnco touched
. . . . _ .
, but under the demand from-shorts , ' which
. was nctlvo duringthi > Ural hour , It re-
i acted iiKiiln to 9IHc nnd hold around that
figure for sometime. Subsequently trade
i " Blackened nnd the price weakened Hlow'.y
"to within halt nn hour from the close. Ap-
tparcnlly thu only reason for the strength
was the now European war Bcare , OB noth-
t Itw. olas of n. bullish character wns con-
tufnod In tbo early now * . There were sov-
cral bearish features In the day's news ,
cililof of which wns an estimate made In a
cablegram from liuenos Ayrcs , making the
probable surplus of wheat for export from
Argentine 40,000,100 bu. Thu latest previous
estimates from that country HUKgcatcd an
exporlnblu nmount ot about 25,0X1,000 bu.
Foreign markets were closed on account of
Chrlntmas holidays , but New York retorted
the recelpl of some buying orders for fu
tures on European account , nnd at least
one fiO.OCO bu , lol was bought In llio pit
there on nn order from Liverpool. The
Liverpool Corn Trade News estimated the
world's shipments of last week at G.4SS.OOO
bu. , exclusive of Ilnltlniorc shipments , Toe
United Stilton contribution to last week's
total wnsI,757OCO Tu. The receipts In Chicago
cage since 1'Yldny numbered 785 curs by rail
from outside. Z5.SOO bu. unloaded from a
vessel In thu'river , besides 114,000 bu. and
391 carloadH transferred from unlicensed to
licensed elevators. In aH")20COO ! ) bu. were
estimated to have been Hdded since Fri
day to the contract stocks In regular
houses. Minneapolis and Duluth received
1.C07 carloads since Friday , compared with
M5 a week ago and SS9 on llio flmllar
period llio year before. The visible supply
increased l.vSl.COO bu. , compared with a de
crease of 720.WO bu. the year before. Kx-
ports for t'he day from Atlantic ports
equaled -191,000 bu. The heavy receipts hero
nnd nt the northwest points caused con
siderable realizing , nnd short selling by pro
fessionals , This nnd the late dullness
rituscdadccllne In JluytoS3TOn-ic. At thai
price a little better support wns given ant
by closing time May had reached again
to 9Ic.
Corn for ths greater part of the scssloi
was very active with an Increased outside
Interest. Nearby wheat traders were In the
pit bidding for corn and sborls were also
ncttvo buyers. The heavy week's clear
ances 1,000,000 bu.-tho lack of country of
forlngs , nnd the European war news were
all factors and thu market ruled strong
Trade fell oft considerably late In tba day
but iirlces held llrm to the end. May
ranged from HO'Ac to 29ig20ic nnd closed
y-c higher nt : : OMc.
In Its essential features the market for
oats wns almost n counterpart of corn.
Tlio market started very llrm and active ,
with local shorts slightly alarmed nt the
strength of corn and buying freely. In
this market also the war talk was a fac
tor. Trade wns much quieter during the
afternoon , but without much effect upon
prices , Mny ranged from IH c to 23iJT23V c ,
closing 5&c hljrher at 23lc.
Provisions wera quite active nnd firm
during- the morning. The opening was
rather weak , with quite free realizing and
Belling by packers. .Market aoon became
llrmcr on good genera ) buylnp , but later In
tbo day the nnvanoj-wns-iill lost , tho'close
being easy. May pork closed 5c lower nt
$1.'Jiy.Mny lard unchanged at $ l.70 TI.72Vi ,
nnd May ribs , * 2'X-c lower at ti.63.

NEW YORK , Dec. 27. The only active In
terest In today's Etock market was manifested
by professional traders , ami they devoted them
selves almost altogether to the recent specula
tive favorites of the market which are com
prised In one group known as the specialties
nnd local traction companies. The tone wna
unsettled and at times decidedly feverish" . The
strength of the specialties caused a strong open *
lug anj upheld prices In the general market
so far us there was any movement. A. marked
weakening : In Sugar nnd u general movement
to realize , due to the continued stiffness of
money and to nome extent to expressed ap
prehension over the threatening developments
In the far east , carried prices below lat week's
level , where they remained , In the case ot many
leading stocks , until the close. Today was a
holiday In London and there were no quota *
tlcjis for consols , the accepted barometer ot
European politics. There was , however , trading
on the continental bourses anj , reports from
there did not Indicate any acute apprehension
over the outlook In Chlnu. There were sonib
railroad Flocks which showed exceptional move
ment. One cf thcfo was Chesapeake & Ohio ,
which was bought heavily by a leading bulu
opeiutor and wois advanced nearly a point ,
The 4\i \ per cent bonds of this company were
also in good demand niv.4/ advanced 1J& per
cent. St. Paul's net earnings for Novtmbir.
showing an IncreaK ? of $214.787 , failed to sus
tain that stock , which shared In the heavlnem
of the whole granger group , except Ilurllngon ,
whlfli was particularly active. The third week's
statement at hand of southwestern railroads
was not very favorable , notably that for Kan.
? ns A Texas , which shov > ert ft decrease of
f23vlS. nnd for St. Louis Southwestern , with ru
fulling off ot over J20.000. us compared with
last year. The situation In the money market
hinged on the Union Paclflc payment nnd the
Pacillc bond redemption. The BUbtreasurj-'s
debit balance ill tin clearing houte today was
$4.307,93. ) , nnd this nbout represented the gov.
eminent checks for redeeming1 the Pacific bonds ,
which have come through the banks. More were
coming today and the government Is still send-
i. . . . . r.itt > lrtt from WnHhinrton for the fur
ther payment , nut money from this source had
not come back Into the market with sulllclent
freedom to prevent Its feeling today's Union I'a-
clllo payment to the government of nbout $ S.-
r.OOOCO , even though JICGOCCO of this Is left
by the government on deposit In New ork.
There WftH considerable calling of loans to-
. 'ay and the rate paid to replace them ranged
from 3 to 414 per cent , with the majority at
4 per c > nt. There was a. rise also In the rates
of sterling exchange today , which precluded the
Idea of any further Immediate gold Imports.
In the llnal dealings there were some tharp reae-
tlons In the specialties nnd the coalers , which
wiped out -all the previous gains and In pome
cafes left prices materially lower. Manhattan
was notable exception , closing near the top at
a net gain of 2V. per cent. Most pains ami
losses In the general list were rather narrow
and mlxol. The tone of the bond market was
irm and In some cases sharp gains wer *
rhSvn Total sales" Jl.COO.OOO. United States old
