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.

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.

Dec. 1 Todav's stock mar 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 cent on the last call.

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.

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.

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.

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.
