CHICAGO, Dec. 1. Heavy liquidation of
Whest caused weakness In that pit today
anil the close ai weak, with May down
Koie. May corn closed c hlghr, while
oata were up M?lc. January provisions
closed from 2'ie to 5fl7Hc lower.
The feature to trading In wheat waa the
unloading of a big line by the leading long
and the consequent throwing on the market
of a large amount held by trridtrs who
had been following In hla wake. The re
sult waa a decline of over a cent In May.
while the nrhy deliveries were also
easier. The news In general waa bearish,
lower cables, liberal receipts In the north
west and a large Increase In the visible
upply being the main depressing factors.
Buying by commission houses at the low
point caused a rally late In the dny, the
close beli.g at lower tlgurea. with May
t3-c off at 7MiT5c. The opening was
fcc lower to c higher at 75Hi5?e, and
rangi-d between 74"r and i54e. The visible
supply for the week showed an Increase
of S,3A2.0uo bu., compured with an Increase
last year of 3.4M.OOO bu. Clearances of
wheat and Hour were equal to C22.90O bu.
Primary receipts were l,8o.200 bu., agHlnst
l,o2;:. MiO bu. a year ago. MinntnpoiiH ana
Dulutb reported receipts of 1,557 cars,
which, with local receipts of 140 cars, 22 of
contract grade, made total receipts for the
three points of 1,69 cars, against 1.924 last
week and 1.177 a year ago.
Trading In corn whb light and the weak
ness In wheat affected this market and
caused an easier feeling, but toward the
end of the session there was a fair demand
, and the early loss was wholly regained,
' Mhv closing '4c higher at VtVqWiw after
selling between '!ltti i"c and 42fi42r4,c.
Extremely favorable weather for the move
ment, lower cables and only a fair cash de
mand were weakening Influences. Local
recelpta were 2"2 cars, with 11 of contract
grade.
Although there was little doing In oata,
the undertone was firmer, a good com
mission house demand being the sustain
ing factor. May closed Wtc higher nt
3:'it'i-c, after ranging between 31Tc and
82V:. Local recelpta were 238 cars.
provision were quiet and after a slightly
higher opening prices showed a tendency
to move downward under scattered selling
by longs and on lack of any particular sup
port. The weakness In wheat and corn
early was a bear factor. The close was
ateady, with January pork 2He lower nt
15H2lii. Lard waa down MtTfrc at $9,454?
t.47St. and ribs off 2c at $S.12H4i15.
Estimated recelpta for tomorrow: Wheat,
M cars; corn, 296 cars; oats, 200 cars; hogs,
37,000 head.

ket made a rather notable show of strength
and prices were lifted quite generally 1 pe.'
cent or more. 1 nis was aue in part to the
sympathetic effect of movements in sfteclal
stocks In which a speculative campaign
was going on, but general considerations
also played a part. Of the special move
ments the most notable was In the local
traction group. The accompanying gossip
quite generally pointed to a plan for a
comprehensive merger of all the traction
facilities within the greater New York cor
porate limits and a supposed share In the
control by New York Central and Pennsyl
vania, Manhattan conspicuously abstained
from a share In the movement and was at
times below Saturday's level. The dealings
In this stock was rather light. This gave
some color to a supposition that the move
ment amongst the other tractions was de
signed to adjust their valuations to the
higher level already attained by Manhat
tan. Another conspicuous center of
strength was the soft coal group, especially
the north and south roads traversing the
region between the Ohio river and the
lakes. Rumors were current of a plan for
combining all the railroads In the group by
making a holding company of one of the
smaller companies. Hocking Valley and
Kanawha and Michigan were most con
spicuously - affected. Amongst the more
general considerations which affected the
market was a hope that the December dis
bursements of Interest and dividends, which
are estimated at about $75,000,000, would af
ford relief to the local money market. The
payment In London today of $20,000,000 to
$25,000,000 on account of the shipping com
bine also aroused hopes of easier conditions
In the money market. Actual quotations
for call money were firm under the con
tinuing Influence of preparations for the
December disbursements and time money
rates were unchanged. New York exchange
at Chicago rose again to par, but a de
posit was made at the subtreasury of $250,
000 for transfer to the Interior. The opin
ion of bankers In spite of today's stock
market review Is for a continuance of close
money conditions over the end of the year.
There was some speculation on the as
sumption that selling of stocks on the
ground of supposed anti-trust views to be
expressed In the president's message would
prove unwarranted. Some very heavy
blocks of St. Paul were placed on the mar
ket, the source of which gave rise to much
gossip In connection with the authorised
new stock issue. Much or the selling was
unrevealed. The unseasonable cold weather
has a general effect on the market and
more especially the coalers. There were
occasional setbacks throughout the ' day,
but throughout the closing was firm and at
the top for many stocks. Bonds were Ir
regular. Total sales, par value, $2,010,000.
United States 8a, coupon, advanced H per

CATTLE There were not quite as many
cattle here today as a week ago, but there
was a big Increase as compared with the
same dsy of last year. With the exception
of fat steers, the market ruled active and
fully steady. .
There was a liberal sprinkling of corn
fed steers In the receipts this morning, and,
as Chicago waa overrun with corn cattle,
there were plenty In sight to fill packers'
orders.. Chicago reported a decline of 20
80c, which is the most radical change that
has taken place In some little time. The
decline was not nearly that large here
and In fact the market could only be
quoted a shade easier and rather slow.
There were only a few western beef steers
on sale, so that packers had to look largely
io the cornfeds.
The cow market was a little slow about
starting and some sales were made early
that were perhaps a little easier. The
feeling soon Improved, though, and trading
became quite active and fully steady. Can
ners and grass cows continued to sell to
the best advantage, but still the cornfeds
Drought fully as good prices as were paid
last week.
Bulls, veal calves and stags also sold at
good, firm prices.
There were very few stock cattle in the
hands of speculators this morning that had
been carried over from last week, so they
were all good buyers. The market could
tmfelv he nuoted active and steady to
strong, the better grades showing the most
ctrengtn. . m
There were hardly enough western beef
steers on sale to make a test of the market,
but It was evident that packers took more
interest In the corn cattle than In the
westerns, as the latter are not killing out
satisfactory. The westerns could be quoted
. nttiei lower than last Friday. Range
cows and stockers and feedera were In good
demand at tuny steaay prices, xiepresema

HOU8 There was a very heavy run of
hogs here this morning for a Monday.
There were about 70 cars on stle and 35
direct to Packers. The market opened weak
to a nickel lower, but sellers, as a rule,
were holding for steady prices, so that
comparatively little business was trans
acted at the start. Peckers sll seemed to
have quite liberal orders, so they soon
laised their bids, and after the first round
or so the market was Just about steady.
The early sales were mostly at 86.05, and
the later ones at 86.074 and 86.10. Trading
was quite active and the bulk of the early
arrivals was disposed of in good season.
Near the close t the market several loads
sold at 36.10 and 36.12H. Trains kept arriv
ing all the morning, and up to a late hour
there were still more cars to arrive. Repre
sentative sales:

SHEEP There waa a liberal run of sheep
and lambs' here this morning, but the mar
ket ruled active and fully steady on all de
sirable grades. Packers were out early and
both the fed stuff and grassers began mov
ing over th scales at a rapid rate, so that
the better grades were soon disposed of.
Fed ewes of fair quality sold as high as
83.35, and some fed yearling wethers of only
fair quality brought 83.75. Strictly choice
stuff was scarce, so that the sales on paper
do not look particularly high.
The feeder market did not show any
quotable change from the close ot last
week. The demand was sufficiently large
to take whtt was in sight at fully steady
prices.
Quotations for grassers: - Good to choice
yearlings, 83.6Fxg3.k6; fair to good. $3.253.50;
good to choice wethers, t3.2Vq3.50; fair to

NV.W YORK, Dee. l.-COTTON-Marl.et
opened quiet, with prices unchanged to a
decline of 2 points snd Immediately sold oft
a few points further under favorable cables
and a fear that too much long cotton hnd
accumulated In anticipation ot a bullish
bureau report. Receipts were small, but
sellers of cotton Ignored this feature on the
f (round that the movement was being ae
ayed by very bad weather, together with
a scarcity of cars and motive power, the
theory being that the cotton la there and
will eventually come out In considerable
quantities. While a few commission houses
bought scattering lines of the distant
months, notably March and May, the south
sold considerable cotton at times during
the session, as did also Europe. A singular
feature about the situation was that prices
moved contrary to most of the news at
hand. Not only was gossip on the govern
ment report consistently bullish, but the
receipts at the ports and interior towns
were under last year, while exports were
unusually large, aggregating over 60,000
bales from the leading ports, or some 20.'"i0
bales more than received, necessitating
considerable Inroads upon the stocks. The
weather news was rttll unfavorable. Thus,
while apparently well furnished with argu
ments, bulls made no effort to sustain the
market, snd prices steadily worked lower
throughout the afternoon. In the absence of
public orders, and closed 9fill points net
lower, with the undertone barely steady and
the trade more or less short, particularly of
March and May, as a result of the day's
operations.
