CHICAOO. Dee. 22.-The usual Inartlvlty
pervaded the grain pita tin the Hoard of
Trade today, out price were firm. May
wheat doffing M.'&Vic higher. May corn
was up a fraction and oata were c high r.
Provisions were strong. May closing irom
64j7'ic to 17Vic higher.
Wheat waa extremely dull, with prac
tically no outside business. The foreign
aituatlon waa considered strong, ths
world s shipments being light and a large
decrease In the amount on psssage being
recorded. l.arsc receipts and a bearish ea
tlmate of the Kuaalan crop waa the main
tear factors. May opened a shade to c
higher at KiftllSc to 77 but on selling
on liberal receipts the price declined to
77Ve. A smaller Increase In vleible than
had been expected an Increase of only
65,onn bushels, where l,&no,ij bushels had
been looked for created a Somewhat
firmer feeling later In the day and the
close was at T7,iT7VCi the top price of
the day, with a gain of '',c. World s
shipments for the last week were 6,li!u."i
bushels, against 6,497,uoO bushels last week.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to nia.im bushels. Primary receipts were
1.264.U00 bushel, compared with KVI.Vnj
a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported receipts of l,t.72 cars, which, with
local receipts of HO cara, with 1 of contract
grade, made total receipts for the three
points of 1,152 cars, against 1,187 cars last
week and 816 a year ago.
Corn was dull and easier on the nearby
deliveries, but firm for May. Ixcal senti
ment was slightly bearish, the weather
being more favorable for the movement
and the receipts larger. Commission housej
reported a dearth of orders from the out
side and there waa little of Interest In the
trading. May closed a shade higher at
Vi'ton, after selling between 4:f,c and 434
Local receipts were 41.1 cars, 5 of
contract grade.
Oats showed more strength than either
of the other grains and a good demand
existed for the May option, while the offer
Inga were light. Commission houses were
the best buyers of May, but a prominent
long also bought freely. A good cash de
mand was a dull Influence, but receipts
were larger and had a depressing effect.
May closed He higher at 33 V mc, after
ranging between 3.iHe and 33c. Local re
ceipts were 279 cars.
Provisions were firm on the absence of
any particular selling pressure and on
higher prices for hogs at tne yards. Trad
ing was qulto active, there being an es
pecially good demand for the May prod
ucts. Outsiders were the best buyers and
the offerings were supplied largely by
packers. The close was firm, with May
pork, 17Hc higher at $16.60; May lard was
up MWa 15c at S9.374 and ribs were 5-a7Wc
higher at $8.6Mj8.57H.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
110 cars; corn, 586 cars; oats, 340 cars; hogs,
27,000 head.

SKW YORK STOCKS A!n BOU.
Market Shows Considerable Strensrth
Before flood Volume of Bsalneaa.
NEW TORK. Dee. 22,-There was a food
volume tif business In stocks today and
toe marset snowed strength and breadth.
The iarge dealings and the notable strength
In a few prcmlnent securities had a notable
f'jmpninetic errect on the whole market.
The tradlllaT Showed diminished animation
as the day progressed, but the high level
of prices attained was prettv well held,
althought the closing was slightly irregular
by reanor. of a feverish movement In Sugur.
The stocks which led the market had Indi
vidual grounds for strength, mostly In
the shape of rumors of a probable Increase
In dividends, or of other benefits. This
was the ca.se In Missouri Pacific, Nesr York
Central and In the outside market. The
rumor concerning Northern Securities was
to the effect that there is to be some ex
traordinary distribution among Great
Northern stockholders, of which the North
ern Securities company Is the principal one.
No official sanction was given to any of
these rumors, nor was there any confirma
tion 01 ine reports tnat valuable rights ars
to be given to stockholders in connection
with the proposed new stock Issue. Sugat's
strength was sttrlbuted to a further drive
against the shorts In connection whh the
prospects for the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
Canadian Pacific and Its allied stocks wero
: strong features without special explanation,
j Amalgamated Copper was helped by re
ports thai copper litigation In Montana has
Dien paused inclettnltely py common con
sent of both contending interests in the
inuusiry. itit room traders on the Stock
exchange were somewhat skeptical of the
advance and contested It by short sales.
There was evidence of activity on the part
of the recently quiescent pools and large
professional operators were supposed to
be at work to life the level of prices. United
States Steel wns prominent and strong,
althought sluggish as usual.
Satlhiaction was professed over the status
of the Venezuelan question and confidence
seemed to be felt in the money situation.
Concessions In rates for time loans helped
this confidence materially. The 6 per cent
rate wus shaded for any longer time than
sixty days. The continued downward course
of sterdng exchange gives rise to a supposi
tion of some special development In that
field not yet dlscloxed. There are vague
-umors of blocks of railroad bonds placed
abrond, although representatives of large
railroad Interests report that the American
market still offers the best Held for railroad
bond. Tho suggestion comes from Berlin
that foreign bankers co-operated with tho
New York bankers' pool In guaranteeing
the $60,000,000 fund for the money market
to the extent of at least agreeing to refrain
from fiirther contract of credit to New
York. The large movement of currency to
New Orleans, $5n0,000 today, following large
shipments on Friday and Saturday, is sup
posed to be for the purpose of holding
cotton in that market in anticipation of
higher prices in January. The movement
seems to cause no misgiving, although It
seems likely to cut down the export move
ment of cotton and thus affect the foreign
exchange.
The bond market was broad and strong.
Total sales, par value, $3,020,0ii0. United
States bonds were all unchanged In the
last call.

CATTLE There was a llrht run nf cattl.
here today, but still there were about as
many as were generally expected. The
oemana on tne part of packers was In
fairly good share. so that Drlcea on all
desirable grades showed considerable Im
provement. Trading ruled active from
start to finish and about everything was
uisposea 01 in good season.
Receipts included about fifteen cara nf
corn fed steers, but the quality was rather
on the common order, and in fact there
was nothing on sale at all that could be
called good. Packers, though, all had to
have a few Cattle, so that the market was
active and fully a dime higher, and a good
many sales looked as much as 15c higher
than the close of last week.
The cow market also took on considerable
lire, and all Kinds, from canners to the
better grades of cornfeds, changed hands
rreeiy at an advance ot a full dime. The
kinds that suited packers In many In
stances sold 16c higher and some sales
looked even belter than that. It was. In
other words, an uneven market, the same
as was the case last week. Owing to the
moderate offerings the pens were cleared
In good season.
Bulls dtd not (how much change this
morning, although It was easy fer sellers to
close out st steady prices. Bulls, though,
sold higher last week In proportion to Cowl
than they have for some time past, so that
they did not Improve much today. Veal
calves and stags commanded steady to
strong prices.
There were only a few stockers and feed
ers In the yards, but the few desirable
bunches that did arrive sold at strong
prices. The common grades, though, were
neglected and nard to move at any price,
the same as has been the case all along.

on sale this morning, shout a third of the
receipts being consigned direct to local
packers. The mi.rHet was s little slow In
opening, but when buyers and sellers
finally got together on prices It did not
take long tor practically everything to
change hands. The general market was
tuloc higher than Paturdsv. The bulk of
the sales went from W.Ht to If 15, with
choice hogs selling from tfi.15 to $iV3o. The
lighter weights sold largeiy at I I". with a
few sales below that figure. Representa

SHEEP There was not an excessive sup-
f'ly of sheep and lambs on sale this morn
ng, so that the market on better grades
was fairly active and Just about steady
with the close of last week. The quality
of the offerings as a whole was nothing
extra, though there were a few bunches of
pretty good stuff. Lambs sold as high as
16.10, and some wethers and yearlings
mixed brought 4.16. The commoner grades
were a little neglected and hard to sell at
steady prices, but still the prices paid
showed very little change from last week.
Receipts of feeders were limited, and so
also was the demand. Quotations, though,
remained Just about where they were last
Week.

JANUARY COTTON.
December 22, 1902.
Havlna- from earlv In ih -4
vised the purchaser-i of cotton for January
delivery In New York and still believing
iai win aioca 01 cotton now nere is worth
much more than the orenent nrican nf
January contracts, and entirely dlspropor-
nunaiin w me existing snort interest, l
take this meane of sua-Kestlna- to thnaa
who hold January contracts that they will
consult their own best Interests bv ar
ranging; to take up and pay for their cot
ton. 1 would further Inform those who
have yet made such arrangements that I
have advised all members of the New Vnrk
Cotton exchange that 1 shall on Monday
uu a 1 avnu iiieremier until turtner notice,
be pleased to "loan Dlaces" on anv nntlcea
for the delivery of January contracts, thus
rendering it unnecesaary that any holder
of contracts for the delivery of cotton in
January should be 'summarily sold out
upon notice to the advantage of those who
may be short. It has not Infrequently
happened In the psst that a tender of a
few thousand bales of cotton has been
used to cointel the liquidation of a far
larger quantity of contracts. It Is my
purpose that in the present Instance no
such Inequitable procedure shall obtain
I shall be pleased to have any holders of
contracts for January delivery of cotton
communloate with me in confidence In
their own Interest, either by mail or
wire. 1 neoaore . i-nce, 71 Wall street
