CHICAOO, Dee. 4 Trailing In wheat wan
extremely dull at times today, but prices
were tomrii a higher lev I, tne Miiy option
closing ',jc higher, while corn up " '':
liltiher and oMia 'c tietter. JniiUHry pro
vision showed a gain of from llc to 3oc.
Reports of heavy ruins In Argentine,
causing a delay In harvesting, caused snort
In wheat much anxiety arid there a con
iderahle covering throughout the fMJiun,
rtsultlng In u imng tone to the situitloii.
Firm cables, small receipts, together with
large clearances ami a good expuit u - ma nil,
were also factots In maintaining the heiier
prices. May opeiieu Vvc t" 'i'O'V-' higher
at 75o to 75'v. sold up to 7i-;4 y u'nc, out
on realizing declined again to m-Sc, only
to rally during the latter part ot the ses
alon to i)c. the close wai c higher at
7ii7o7c. Seaboard clearances 01 wheat
and flour were equal to bu., coin-
oared with ttW.iMi a year ago. 1'rlmary
receipts were :', bit., against l.trM.MO
last year. Minneapolis otiu Duluth re
ported receipts of i.iil.i cars, with local re
ceipts of tM curs, with one m contract
grade, made total receipts for the three
jjoitUM ot 1,070 cars, ugulnst 7:1 Inst year.
Trading In turn was of "but moderate
Volume and was confined prljiclpaliy to
lucal Interests. There was considerable
manipulation In th- December delivery and
that option ruled strong. Klim cables, small
receipts and a good demand were strength
ening lac tors. May opened unchanged to
Vac higher at 13 Vi 43', c and sold between
c and V, closing v 14c better at 43V
43-c. lxical rtcelpts weie Ha cars, witu
aeven of contract grade.
The principal leature In oats was an
excellent cafih demand, which was the main
ruppon to the maracl. Commission house
were lair buyers of May, but there ap
peared to be enough for sale around 32lo
to supply all needs. Although lcenilier
was only about sUady, at tint close May
wt llrm and ,0 hlgner at 32'c. after sell
ing between 32-jC and 32jC. lxcnl receipts
Were 111 cars.
Provisions ruled strong throughout the
day, higher prices at the yards being re.
sponsible for a lirni opening, and a good
demand for all products, and especially for
lure, added strength to the situation, the
close being near the top, with January pork
3,'c higher at Jltv;:5 uml lard and ribs each
up liVsc at $il.80 and $.87Vs, respectively.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Drokera Fruitlessly Attempt to Boost
Prlcea Early In the Day.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4. There was another
attempt to put up the prices of stocks this
morning, but It did not succeed and the
market soon became weak. Final prices
were considerably lower than last n'ght.
The principal part of the day's business
on the Stock exchange had become com
pleted by the end of the first hour nnd
there was no further activity until an active
selling movement developed In the lust hour
and carried prices to the lowest of the
day. In the Interval there were occasional
periods of absolute idleness on the floor of
the exchange.
Many of the most prominent stocks were
not quoted at all from tiour to hour. The
aggregate transactions for the day dwindled
still further from yesterday's small total.
The business was almost entirely In the
hands of professional room traders and
many of the more conspicuous commission
houses had not as much as 1,000 shares to
execute In the market. The efTort to ad
vance prices was apparently based on the
somewhat, easier tone which developed late
yesterday In the call loan market, but the
developments of the day precluded any
hope of early easiness in money and
prompted the traders to change their posi
tion. They then sold stocks to force a
lower level of prices for the simple reason
that they were unable to advance prices
without meeting large salea to realize.
The sub-treasury statement for today
shows that the banks have lost to that
Institution since last Friday over $o.000,floo.
This did not include the $1,000,000 withdrawn
today for shipment to South America. This
morning the sub-treasury was a creditor at
the clearing house for $416.9x1 on account of
some heavy Internal revenue collections.
It will be seen, therefore, that the week's
decline in bank reserves will be between
$6,000,000 and $7,000,000. The tone of the
time money market, which continues very
firm. Is convincing evidence that no relaxa
tion of the money market Is expected be
fore the turn of the year. As the local
trust companies do not make weekly re
ports of their condition, that element In
the situation Is not known to the public,
but there is no evidence that they are
offering any of their resources In the money
market at the present time and the tend
ency Is believed to be rather on the side
of contraction In their case.
The Bank of England retained its 4 per
cent minimum discount rate thU week and
the private rate went lower In the Ixmdon
market, but the bank's weekly statement
discloses that the government has disbursed
over $9,000,000 of Its deposlth, together with
the shipping combine payments, accounts
for the present easier tendency in London.
However, the bank has lost gold to the
extent of. about $3,675,000 during the week.
Notwithstanding today's shipment of $1.000..
000 gold from here to South America, which
was In response to a demand diverted from
linde n, the Bank of England sold today
$1.0oO.OoO In gold for South America and
$riC0.0f0 to Egypt. The Bank of France also
shows a loss of about $500,000 In gold, but
Its loans have been contracted about J36.100,.
000, although the note Issues have Increased
over $10,000,000 There was no transfer of
currency to the Interior through the sub.
treasury today and exchange at Chicago
rose from par to 10c premium.
The advance In the price of refined sugar
and In the price of copper, both here and
In London, made Sugar and Amalgamated
Copper comparatively firm. Fort Worth
A Denver City rose on the prospect of a
dividend disbursement In February. Re
ports from trade authorities of a downward
tendency in the irlce of Iron products and
a holding back of orders on account of high
cost was a rather depressing Influence.
Bonds were dull and In sympathy with
stocks. Total sales were $2,260,000. United
States 3s, registered, . declined 2 points )
the last call.

CATTLE Th-ire was only a fair run of
cattle here today and the market took on
considerable activity and strength. The
trains were not as iate in arriving aa they
were yesterday, but still It was iate In
the day before much could be told about
the actual number that would be offered.
There were fifteen or twenty loads of
cornfed steers in the yards and packers
took hold quite freely and paid good strong
prices for anything that wus at all decent.
The quality of the cattle as a whole was
better than usual, but still no finished cattle
were offered.
The cow market waa also active and
stronger. The demand was general for the
better grades and also for the common
kinds and canners. Everything that was
offered on the nornlng market waa dis
posed ot in good season. Corn feds, if at
all good, also sold more freely than utiual,
but warmed up cornfeds sold at rather
unsatisfactory prices, the same as has been
the case all along.
Bulls, veal calves and stags alao changed
hands freely at good firm prices.
There were comparatively few stockers
and feeders In the yards this morning and
the better grades sold readily at good
strong prices. 11 was nouceaoie. nowever,
that buyer;" all wanted the cattle showing
quality, while they were very slow about I
taking the common kinds. As a result the J
latter class was no more than steady. ;
Western beef steers were again scarce
and In fact there were Just a few bunches !
of common cattle offered. Such kinds sold 1
rather slowly, but at about steady prices I
with yesterday. Range cows were In good
deinana av i"1" ... -,
true of the better grades of stockers and
feeders. Representative sales:

HCK1S There was rather a llgnt run of
hogs here today and, as reports trom other
po'nls were favorable to the selling Inter
ests, the market opened SisjT'sc higher than
yesterday's pverage. or about a nickel
higher than the late sales' yesterday. Pack
era were bidding fi.w and $ti.224 for hogs,
but sellers were holding lor .lust abut 2vo
more, so thnt trading on the stsrt was
rather slow. The early sales, though, were
at $o.20 and $6.2.'"j. letter in the morning
packers had to raise their hands a little
little In older to get the hogs nnd trading
became more active, with t22 and $1125
the popjlar prices, or about loo higher than
yesterday s average. Ch )lce heavy hogs
sold tin high as $.;, the blithest price paid

SHEEP The demand for fat sheep con
tinued brisk this morning, so that the
market could be quoted active and steady
to strong on all desirable grades. Fed ewes
sold an high as $3.33 and fed wethers and
yearlings sold up to $3.75. As trading was
active from start to finish It was not long
before everything was out of first hands.
There were no very good lambs on sale
and the common stuff that was offered sold
rather slowly at no more than steady
prices.
There were quite a few feeders Included
in the receipts, for which the demand was
limited. The market could best be de
scribed by calling It slow and weak.
Quotations for grassers: Oood to choice
