CHICAGO, Dec. 1.1.-A small revival of
buying and a tendency to retain holdings In
grains led to bullish activity iiKiiln today
nnd prices, nftor touching the- lowest point
In a week, started upwnrd ngaln. liny
wheat closed '4c higher, May corn TMflc
higher tind May oats ic higher, Pro
visions closed a shndo higher to li'jc lower.
Wheat crept back slowly Into the 80s,
after ruling weak early. The nbsonce of
Liverpool cables and the heavy fall of
snow and rain throughout the country kept
tho tnlcnt guessing. London was rather
weak In tone, and though the winter wheat
belt got a good soaking tho approach of
blizzards was much, feared. Other condi
tions early were bearish. Tho cash demand
was slow. Kccelpts were liberal and clear
ances small, St. Louis reported a con
tinental Inquiry, but In general tho early
trade was of tho selling kind. May opened
unchanged to Uc up at 79V4''r79ct but soon
sold down to 79c. At this price shorts cov
ered freely nnd some professionals begnu
to acquire, lines of long wheat again. The
weather report frightened present holders
and trndo toward the close becaino brisk.
I'rlces reacted well 'and May ndvanced to
IVH4c, closing strong, Tc higher nt SOHc,
Local receipts were 5S cars, none of con
tract grade. Minneapolis nnd Duluth re
ported 7i"6 cars, making a total for tho thrco
points of 811 cars, against 800 last week and
f,93 ti year ago, Primary roeolptH wero
l.OM.Ont) bushels, compared with ,81,000 last
year Seaboard clearances In wheat and
Hour equalled 321,000 bushels. Argentine
shipments for tho week were .116,000 bushels;
compared with 48,0m) last week.
Corn was fairly active, making good
gains nnd holding them well. Tho cold
weather reports suggested a probable
slower movement of grain, and the out
side demand picking up again brought a
good advance, after an early sag, Profes
sionals also began taking on lines to some
extent nt tho low price. A good demand for
December Indicated a fair cash business,
slay opened steady and advanced until It
roached G'VuC. Hero some small prntlt-tak-Ing
brought a slight reaction, but tho close
was strong, 78fjle up at 67VM?67'.ic Receipts
wero 157 cars.
Oats showed a tendency to follow tho
other grains early, but later recovered and
with ono or two minor setbacks ruled Inde
pendently strong. Trade was mostly among
commission houses, with supplies a llttlo
short. Provision houses sold deferred fu
tures. May opened steady, sagged enrly
and on tho fair professional bulling reacted
nnd closed strong. ?ic up nt 43iy Ij'fcc. He
celpts wero H5 enrs.
Professional provisions were fairly active,
but only steady. Thorn was Homo outstrto
buylpg and considerable local selling.
Fluctuations wero narrow. May pork
closed 2'.4c lower at $16,774. May lord a
shndo lower at $9.RO'i,9.82l4 and May ribs a
shndo higher at J8.KijiS.S74.

Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
It Is most fortunate that tho vagaries of
speculation nro not always dllaterous to
legltlmato business. Railway stocks fell
sharply, yet full returns for November
show that tho earnings wero 11.5 per cent
more than for tho same month last year
and 10.15 per cent over thoso of 1S99. Trac
tions were violently disturbed, yet tho
manufacturing plants of the nation were
never more fully occupied, Numerous labor
controversies have been settled nnd the
rate of wages Is nt the highest point ever
nttalned.
Retail distribution Is of massive propor
tions, with dealings In holiday goods the
conspicuous feature. This class of busi
ness so far surpasses nil prevloils records
that It alone gives an unmistakable Indica
tion of tho nation's prosperity.
Conditions In tho lending Industry nre
still moro strikingly pronilslng. Despite
tho full engagements of most of the steel
mills well Into next year, the week brought
a largo amount of new business, particu
larly railway equipment. Stability of prices
continues the best feature, Inllntlon being
wisely prevented by controlling Interests.
Reports from the great Iron centers dur
ing thu closing week of November dwelt
on tho scarcity of cars and motlvo power,
Implying that furnaces could nut secure
coke nnd wero going out of blast, while
pig Iron could not be moved from tho yards
to the mills. Furnace stocks of Iron were
thought to be somewhat augmented.
Tho Iron Ago has Issued a most en
couraging report of 260 furnaces In blast
on December 1, with a capacity of 321.761
tons weekly. Thus, n now high record
was nttalned under clrcumstunces which
appeared anything but propitious. It tnuit
ne appreciated mat since tno montii opeueq
there has been more Interruption and the
present rate of yield Is probably much
lighter. Furnace stocks of pig iron de
creased 49,769 tons during November to
only 22.1,452 tons.
Raw textile material Industries hnve de
veloped dlHtluct llrmnegs, Cotton not only
retained the gain that followed tho gov
ernment report, but made a further ad
vance nnd Indications of continued strength
attracted inicrai purcnases ny spinners
Wool Is readily taken at unchanged prices.
Mills are busy and fall lines of overcoat
ings have opened satisfactorily.
Leather Is llriner, but shoo manufacturers
aro unable to securo commensuruto gains
because snmo shops lmvo contracts for ma
terial nt old nrlces and are able to hold
quotations to Jobbers nt firmer figures.
western grain producers aim dealers
have expressed great fnltli In thu future
of prices, many announcing their Intention,
to hold their supplies until spring, when
tho scarcity would bo marked and quota
tions reach a mora prolltablo point, Specu
lative operators, as usual, anticipated this
tendency of legitimate business and Inau
gurated a vigorous campaign. The upward
movement of option prices culminated on
Monday, when May deliveries at this city

NEW YORK. roe. 1.1 BtneWa srnred n
notnblo recovery In today's market. Tho
market was very Irregular during tho enrly
portion of tho dav nnd distinctly weak In
spots. This was due to the residue of tin
enslness coining over from yesterday's
events, nnd tho tear that money stringency
wiiuiu ueveiop during tne nay, inciuent to
the carrying over ot loans until Monday.
Borrowers on cull mild ns blub as SW, tier

(.-.my in Humming accommodations at mo
prevailing rates.
mere was no further calling or loans by
tho banks or torclng of liquidation In con
sequence, as was tho case yesterday.
Tho call loan rntA vliddeil ns tltn Inrcer
demands wero sutlslled and fell below 6 per
ceni in ine close, rerceiving tno course
things were taking the bears began to buy
to cover their short contracts which hiui
been considerably extended In yesterday's
decline. There was some buying nlso by
Inside interests In the various stocks, espe
cially during the morning, for the purpose
of support. Under these Influences prices
upgan to recover nnd touched tho hluh
level of the dny during tho afternoon. This
level wns not fully maintained, but the
closing wns steady and dull, and only a
fraction below the top level. Yesterday's
anxiety over tho rumors circulated of tho
embarrassment of a largo International
mercantile house was relieved by assur
ances that the trouble was tided ower. Tills
was a factor In tho recovery except for
the rubber goods stocks and United StHtes
Rubber, which lost from 1 to 4 points. Tho
preliminary tlgurcs of the week's move
ments of cash tiroinlHcd a loss of unwar'd
of $6,000,000 for tho banks, but tho easier
tone or the inonev market hcltied to a more
hopeful sentiment over the future, The
week's llqttldat on. both In tho stock, cruln
and cotton market mny havo effected somo
reduction of the loan account of the banks.
Tho payment of tho Juntlnry 1 government
interest is to Drum on Jioimnv and tuu
Standnrd Oil dividend, amounting to $8,0(,
(. Is also pnyuhlo on that date, On Fri
day $5,000,000 Is payable on tircotint of tho
dividend on United States Steel common
slock. The week's movement of cash
shows no gain of any stgnltlcanco from tho
interior on tno express movement, wnno
t no transiers tnrouuii tno st iitrensury
havo amounted to $2,75o,ooo. Additional suih
piles or money next week( us indicated, anil
tellef from the llonlilntlon. nre clenrlv the
only factors In sight to warrant the easier
tono ot the monev mnrxet. 1'orelun ex
change steadied today, with tho relaxation
of tho pressure for money, while money
rates advanced In London, Purls nnd Ber
lin, the sterling rnto at Paris also falling
1 centime. Theso developments doubtless
jncun that any lowering of tho money rati
hero would be followed by further exports
of gold, In the Into strength of tho mar
ket gains of from 1 to 2 points wero estab
lished among the local tractions, trunk

Copper fluctuated feverishly on tho an
nouncement of tho open cut In tho price of

Jolililui; Distribution Quieting; Down
Propnriitir- to StoeU-TnkiiiK.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13. Ilrndstrcefs to
morrow will say:
Holiday trade Is In full swing at all mar
kets, while Jobbing distribution naturally
shows a quieting down preparatory to
stock-taking. Nearly all advices touching
the latter brunches of business nro en
couraging, and tho year's results so far as
ascertained nro on tho whole very favor
able. Among tho Industries Iron and steel
are easily llrst In strength of demand nnd
prices, nnd the word buoyant about no
cirately describes tho situation as regards
tho feeling In tho trado generally.
Though strong, this condition is still con
servative ns a whole as evidenced by tho
pegging of Iron ore (old rnnge) quotations
for the coming year at old prices in tho
faco of a contemplation to advance that
mid finished products.
Probably nover beforo was so much busi
ness boolttd In advance ns there Is at pres
ent with pig Iron, rails and Mulshed prod
ucts. Tho former Is In better demand nnd
$16 can bo had at valley furnaces, though
$15.25 Is tho nominal rate. Production is
at an unheard of rate, despite car shortage
stopping coke deliveries and stocks of pig
are still decreasing Southern Iron deliv
eries In November wero tho heaviest on
record nnd higher prices for this apd for
bituminous coal aro predicted,
Tim crest of the rise In cereals was
reached on Saturday last for coarso grains,
and on December 9 for wheat and provi
sions. Tim proportions of tho recent rise
induced enormous realizing, which for n
tlmo was offset by heavy new buying, but
ultimately tho stsse. of tho grain movement
nnd Increnses In visible supplies added to
tho breaking of tho drouth In tho south
west, and tho tightness of money left the
bears masters of the Held.
Tile steady rise In wheat and corn prices
shown slnco tho enrly part of November
had resulted In a fain of nbout 13c each
in wheat and corn from which the fnll this
week Is only about 3c. Provisions sympa
thize with the movement and tho high price
oi low lOoiisiuiTS is a. leniuro ot note.
Cotton nlono of tho great agricultural sta
ples has strengthened this week on a con
tinuance of tho bullishness brought out by
tho low government estlmntes. and In splto
of a crop movement which Is classed as
"holiday'1 cotton In excess of last year.
Exports have reached and passed last
season's record, Stnplo cottons nro on tho
whole firmer nnd sellers are not as anxious
as a whllo ago. Woolen goods nro In good
domand, particularly for dress wear, and
many mills are busy on heavyweight or
ders, Wool Is strong, though unchanged,
on good demand, with London slightly
higher on merinos nnd unchnuged on cross
breds, Boot and shoo manufacturers are still
busily employed and shipments still heavily
exceed lust year's. Leather Is llrm. whllo
hides nro easier. Tanners nro not anxious
to buy largely.
Higher prices of cereals shock our ex
port trade In that direction nnd shipments
of breadstuff, live animals, cotton nnd oils
nil decreased from October totnls. Com
pared with November a year ago pro
visions, cotton nnd oil exports nro alt
heavier. The falling off In brendstuffs Is
iuc to corn exports being only one-sixth of
November n year ago.
Wheat shipments In November wore, on
tho other hand, 60 per cent larger. On the
other hand In November, 1900, shipments of
brendstuffs, cotton, oils nnd provisions ag
gregate a slim 6 per cent larger than In nny
previous year.
Wheat, Including flour, exports for the
week nggregato 3.S79.S09 bushels, against
4,604,816 last week and 4.875,577 In this week
Inst year. Wheat exports, July 1 to date
(twenty-four weeks), aggregate 136,303,715
bushels, against S4,ti'iO,72U last season. Corn
exports nggregato 27S.307 bushels, against
362.SI2 last week nnd 4,833,158 last year, July
1 to dato corn exports nro 19,795,238 bushels,
against 83,701,661 last season.
Business failures In the United Stntes
for the week number 233, against 237 last
week. 247 In this week Inst year, 211 In 1S99,
237 In 1898 and 283 In 1897. Canadian fail

CATTLE Tlicro wns 11 fair Friday's run
of cattle hero today and whllo tho better
grades sold freely at very satisfactory
prices In most cases there was moro or
less tendency to neglect the common kinds.
Receipts did not Include very many corn
fed steers this morning nnd anything at
all good met with ready sale ut fully steady
prices. The common and warmed-up cat
tlo sold somewhat unevenly, tho same as
they have all along. In some cases sellers
thought they got stoady prices, whllo In
others they did not do quite as well as they
did yesterday. Practically everything,
though, wns disposed of In good season.
The cow market was rattier dull today
and tho tendency of prices wns downward
all around, Thero wns very llttlo competi
tion between tho different buyers, us none
ot them seemed at nil anxious for supplies.
Tho gcncrul market today could safely bo
iiuoted weak to a dime lower and In somo
Instances the decline was oven greater.
Good fat bulls sold nt just nbout steady
prices today, but half-fat rituff was neg
lected, and prices are now fully 26c lower
than they wero tho first of tho week. There
was not much change today In good veal
calves and atags.
Thero wero only a few Blockers and feed
ers on snlo and ns Is very apt to bo tho
ciiho at tho closo of tho week tho demand
was limited. A few of the better grades
sold about steady, but the common kinds
wero neglected nnd prices a shade easier.
Thero were not enough western rangers
on snlo this morning to mako a test of the
market. Representative sales:

shippers and local packers were liberal
buyers, so It was not long beforo tho bulk
of that class of hogs was out of llrst
hands. They sold largely from $6 30 to
$6.60. The same ns has been the caso for
some time past the light hogs were heg
lected nnd very few wero sold on tho early
market. Sellers were generally asking
higher prices, while packers were not will
Ing to pay tho advance. When they ilnally
did sell It was noticeable that prices wero
very uneven, tho same as they have boon
all nloug. In some cases sales looked
lower, while In others they looked steady
or even higher. Hogs weighing 200 pound
o-' under packers do not seem to want nnd
sellers have to tnko what they can get for
them. For that reason prices nre uneven
and cover a wide range. As will lie no
tlced from the sales below the bulk ot
tho hogs today sold In nbout the snnm
notches as they did yesterday. Repre
