CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Whcut was a weak market today, closing with a net loss uf l'.ic s a result of bearish news. Com closed ic ami oats 'iflUc lower. Provisions ut tlie close were Vtiliha down. The session In the wheat pit, nave for u few brief punctuatlonn In the shnpo of In cipient rallies, wan one long exhibition of liquidation by holders and short selling by traders looking for prices still lower, al though today's tradltiK established a new low-prieo record for this crop. The news was bearish from sturt to llnlsh. The mar ket opened under the Influence of Indifferent rubles, favorable crop reports nnd a Broom hall estimate, of un Argentine exportable surplus of GI.OOO.OOO bushels. December, SJ "o to ibW,r. lower at 72" to to ?lTic; offer ings wcro liberal and tlio demand limited and December dropped early to 71"ic. On profit-taking by shorts a reaction to 7JiC followed. Thoro was very llttlo cash stuff wanted, however, nnd as outsldo pen jiId Hhowed no disposition to assume the burden of holdlriK up prices, thu market fugged nKitln, December dropped to 71Uo mid closed 1'io under yesterday at 'hti 71r, New 1 ork reported forty-flvo loads taken for export. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour were equal to 20C,0) bush els. I'rlmary receipts wero t,9?,0oi) bushels, compared with 827,i00 bushels last year. Minneapolis nuil Duluth reported 42 cars, ugnlnst 473 last week ami 802 u yeur ago. Local receipts were 113 cars, twenty of con tract grade. A liberal visible lncreaso Is predicted for Monday. Corn had a mildly strong experience. Offerings were liberal, but the decided uttl tudo taken by the leading bull scalpers held tho market In check until the last hour, holding tho price of December close to yes terduy's tliiul figures. During thu last hour, however, this support melted away. The wheat weakness was felt and thu Increased nrfrlngH from first hands nlormed longs mil encouraged tho bears. December broke sharply und wound up In a weak statu; De eember sold between 357W 36c and 3,".';e and closed weak nt 35M(30c; receipts, 217 curs. Oats showed Just enough pulse movement to Indlcato that life had not fled completely. Tho country movement wus slow; the cash demand fair: December sold nt between 22c nnd 2IM(22To and closed Wl'tt' lower ut 21'4'fi21V'; receipts were ninety-live cars. Provisions were fulrly active and rather nervous, nt times apparently Inclined to stiffen and at other periods ruling weak un der tho volume of product offered. The prospect of u heavy run of Iioh next week was a depressing Inllucncc throughout the session. January pork sold at between $11.85 and $I1.0"'i and closed 12'2e under yes terday at $11.70; January lard at between $6.95 and $6.80'iii;.87ty. closing 7'.4o lower at $6.90. and January illis at between $G.3510.26, with the close 6c depressed nt $0.30.

Iletter Mrenntli liiinti TIirii 011 Any Other Day Since Election. NEW YORK, Nov. lG.-Although today's business In stocks did not recover to the full measure of last week's in matter of volume tho tono of tho trading and tho showing of strength wcro the most Impos ing nnd substantial that luivo been made since tho election. The fevorlsh and sen sational movement In Isolated stocks and tho lndlscrlmlnatu rush to buy lu n lump wero not shown today. Instead there was a steady und persistent absorption of stocks of tho best character, with legitimate npec u'utlvo prospects of Inerruscd enrning power, or Increased ceeurlty by reason of added earnings for Junior securities. In tho early dealings the speculation showed a dis position to look for leadership, and power ful leaders wero nt hand to Inaugurate In viting advances In prominent stocks In al most every distinctive gro.tn on tho ex change. Tho absence of realizing pres3uro as tho advances wero easily made, en couraged tho growth of tho demand and strength was disseminated all through the list. Tho western trunk lines nnd tho coal ers wcro the most conspicuous exceptions and wuro not largely traded In nor widely moved, but there was no posltlvo weakness manifested oven there, Thero won no Im portant exception to tho upward courso of prices nnd among tho stocks of railroads nil through tho south nnd west, Including tho transcontinental lines, tho strength was astonishingly uniform. Thero was scarcely a railroad stock traded In within those limited that did not gain tit least a point. Not a few roso 2 points or over, whllo Burlington nnd Atchison preferred gained respectively 8 nnd 3'i. The coat roads ulso made a good showing of strength. Tho preferred stocks of reor ganised railroads wcro evidently the favorites In tho speculation from tho way one lift the other or them was brought forward Into tho trading.

The growing strength of tho market was evidently 1I1I0 to the de tcnnlned buying class which held o-oot from tho excited trading of election, confi dent that a reaction must como which would leave tho market healthier, even though at higher prices. A number of avoidable circumstances also converged In the day's news. Advance sheets of the trade reviews for tho week expressed so roseato 11 view of tho outlhnk for general trado us to stimulate speculative senti ment quite notably. Forecasts of tho bank statement were accepted with reserve, owing to the complications which havo con fused tho significance of recent statements, but n gnln In cash reservo Is confidently looked for, find tho continued tendency toward lower rates for money, which made tho maximum rate today for call loans I per cent, fulling In the Into dealings to 314 per cent, relieved all apprehension over the money outlook. Protlts on tho day's ad vances wero attractive enough to induce Bomo selling toward tho close, but the ef fect upon prices was slight and tho closing was actlvo and steady.

ACTIVITY IN STEEL AND IRON l'osl-Elrctlim Ilnln(c Itoom Abont Over, but n Busy Senson Is Oprnln if. CHICAGO, Nov. 16. Iron and Steel, tho organ of tho western Iron trade, will say tomorrow: Tho Important uncertalntv this week Is tho length nnd breadth and depth of the post-election buying In om. During tho last ten days thero hus been the largest busi ness of the yenr lu Iron und Meol. Much had been heard lu the last two mouths of prospective purchases that wcro to bo do Inved until after thu verdict of the polls. Thero wero reports of deluyed orders of thl nature in most branches of 1 1 10 trade. Tho sequel proves tho correctness of those im ports. It wna noted a week ago that southern pig Iron had lust experienced Its most pro nounced period of activity. This week northern Irons wero equally active. Tho mallenblo Iron buyers entered tho market almost en masso and wlpjn. they departed perhaps 75.0CO tons of Iron for future ship ments had been charged up to them by makers. Steel rails havo been n favorite, and whllo exuet Information W not rendllv accessible It Is learned from Indirect sources that a heavy tonnago has been placed. The outlook for tho rail mills Is considerably brighter thun It was several weeks ago. Buying hns nlso shown gains lu various other branches. There nro some evidences that tlds pent up trado Is now fairly well out of tho way. Tho week Is closing with less activity than that with which It begun. Anil there is tv very marked difference of opinion ns to the courso of tho market in thu immedlnto fu ture. But whether prices slowly recedo or gain feennd breath for u further and moto notable rise, thero Is llttlo question that a new t-enEon Is nbout to open that will bo phenomenally nctlve. Ono cause for tho strength of tho market Is the flush conll denco that has permeated the mnrknH throughout and thu moro harmonious ro lutlnnshlp umcng large producing compa nies. But even back of tint Is the Insistent demand that hns already crowned ninny mills with orders, ubsorblug their output for months ahead. Plates are $2 per ton higher and bars have advanced from $1 to $2. Thtro nre uncon firmed reports that plpo will bo rtlffencd n good 5 per cent. Local pig iron is worth M cents more than a week ago. Billets aro $1 higher. ShrotH hnve a firm undertono. Holders of old material havo decided views icgniding vnlues. Holt have shot upward. Finished material generally Is optomlstlc nlly Inclined. I'lr Iron Prices. The last week has perhaps surpassed Ito predecessor In nctlvlty In pig Iron. Tills llmu tho mnlleablo product was prutty much tho cntlru exhibition. Melters havo been dallying with thu market for several mouths, out wero unable to reuch a de cision. Tho election was tho apparent obstacle. The votes wero cast and a few days pasted. Southern products showed .un mlstakabto strength and the malleable peoplo Judged thn right tlmo had come. All the largo consumers nro said to havo closed for their needs up to noxt summer and tho tounago thus marketed Is esti mated at 75,000 tons. There has also rcen good buying of foundry Irons, ono car builder taking 5,000 tons and another local foundry 6,000 tons. Demand, In fact, has been bo good that prices of northern Irons advanced 60 cents, Southern Irons have been comparatively less active, but thu ad vanced quotations nre firm. A little product Is still old nt somo slight concession from quotations named, but some makers, on tlio other hand, uro not quoting below maximum figures.

Thero were about ten enrs of beef cattlo on snlo today, nnd the market was steady In somo cases, whllo in others It was a llttlu lower. Buyers did not seem particularly 5 m,m!? or "UJ'Plles. and bullers found It dinicult to gel yesterday's prices, partleu uSi' " ,m catt'o were not very good. Tho supply of cows was not very heavy today, and In the majority of cases the market was pot materially different from what It was yesterday. Prices have been going down at a rapid rate all the week, nnd It Is safo to say that all but the best grades nro now 25o lower than they wero ut tho closo of last week. The common canners In somo cases uro even worse than that. Tho best grades aro, per Imps, not qulto a quarter lowor for tho week, but they aro all of 15c lower. Tho Blocker and feeder trade was In bad shape today. Thero are a good many cattlo In tho hands of yard traders, nnd as thi demand from tho country Is very light they did not want to buy many more today. Where tho quality of tho cattlo was at nil common selfers found It nhnnst Impossible to get a bid on them. Even tho bust grades wero slow sale, und thu market wns a llttlo lower all around. For the week It Is Kufe to say that the market Is 15030c lowor, tho greatest declino .being on the common kinds. This would apply to stock cows und heifers ns well as to steers. Stook rnlves are still worse, and It is sufe to say that they aro nil of 50fl75c lower than they wero two weeks ago. It takes a good caff now to bring over $4.00, and tho best ones uro not selling over $4.60. Thero wero very few western grass cattle on salo today. Good buef steers would bring about steady prices, nnd grass cows, feeders, etc., aro selling about tho samo ns noted above for tho uattvu cattle.
