Packers apparently did not care whether they got much of anything or not, so that trading was rather slow on most lines, without any radical change in prices. There were a few cars of corn fed steers Included In the -receipts and the market was slew and If anything a shade lower, lluyers were very Indifferent, so that sales men had a hard time, to dispose of what they had at satisfactory prices. The tend ency of prices has been downward most all the week, so that the bulk of the advance of last week has b-.en lost. The cow market was Just about steady with yesterday. There were only a few of fered, so that most everything was dis posed of In gcod sfafrm. II was very evident though that puckers were not at all anxious for supplies. The same as noted above for steers the bulk of the ad vance of last week has been lost. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In Just about tho same notches they did yes terday. There Is not much to be said of the feeder trade, aa there was practically nothing on rale and speculators did not want anything. Receipts have been light all the week, so that although the demand has been of a holiday iharacter, prices have held good and strong on all desirable grades. Repre sentative sales: u.ct Bice. no.

Packers started In here bidding 64? 10c higher tnan yesterday, but sellers were asking fully 10c higher, so that It was rather late before much busi ness was Cone. The most of the hogs sold at right close to a dime higher, but the light weights sold at uneven prices and riome of them were not more than a nickel higher. The qua.ity of the offerings today was rsther Inferior, a larger proportljn than usual being light weight stuff. The bulk of all the hogs sold from $6 so to $6 40. Ughl weights a dd mostly irom $6 30 to $6 L6. with the very light weights selling from (6.00 to $626. The most of the good weight hugs sold from $6.?6 to $6.40, with prime heavies anlllng as. high as $4.46. Repre sentative aalea. Tl Ul ... I M tf tl 'I K 44 Ill ... I M II 117 NIK 71.. 17 ...

REPORTS OF BIG CROPS CAUSE DULLNESS Considerable Liquidation Orrnrrlna; Unrlnst the Day Also Has Kffert of Mlnhtly Lowering Prices ot the Previous Day. CHICAGO, Dec. 31-The demand for wheat today was limited and the market was easily effected by the bearish news. Liverpool cables were bearish, Argentine advices reported good harvesting weather nil tho northwest marsets were weak. The fact that the government crop report estimated a gilu in the actual and a gain in total yield of M,00u,otQ bushels was also a depressing influence. There was also con siderable liquidation going on during the entire day. '1 he ciose was easy and near the bottom May opened We to "4c lower at 7bc to 76"c and sales were made soon after the opening at 76',c(f 16V and then the price gradually declined until 761-?!76'4e was reached. The close was 4e lower at Vec. Clearances of wheat and flour were euual to i48,ooo bushels. Primary receipts were 5O7.0H0 bushels, against it holiday lust year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re ceipts of i.96 cars, which, with local recelptj of 51 care, none of contract grade, mane total receipts for the three points of 347 cars, with a holiday both last week and a year ago. In spite of a bearish government report corn held fairly steady, a fair demand from commission houses being the supporting In fluence. Weather conditions were favor able for the movement of the crop and local traders were disposed to favor the sel.lng side. The volume of business was light and the close was easy, with May off 1C('so at 43c, if ter selling between 43c and Uf,c. I.ocal receipts were 284 cars, wltn 3 01 contract grade. Oats were quiet and easy, the depression In other grains being the chief bear factor, although the government report was con sidered disappointing. Commission houses were liberal sellers early and offerings were well aDsorbed by local traders, who were Inclined to support the marKet. Therj was less demand later In the day and the close was esy, with May HSrc lower at XSvl433c, after ranging between 33c and 33"ic. Local receipts were K'4 cars. Packers gave good support to provisions and although the market was easier the decline vas not as great ns the weak condi tion of the hog market would warrant. Ths opening was easier on liberal receipts of hogs and a drop of from Htc to 15c at the yards, but pnrt of the early loss was re gained and the close was steady. The mar ket was helped some by shorts, who cov ered In the January products. May pork closed at 7Vuloc lower at $lrt.3?. May lard wa off 2Vic at S9.52H. while ribs were 2'fe'u.')C higher at $8.6541 N.611. Kstlmated receipts lor tomorrow: Wheat. 65 cars; corn, S36 cars; oats, 150 cars; hogs, 32.000 head.

Dec. 31 The year closed on the Stock exchange with a very confident sentiment predominating. During the first two hours of business the segregate sales reached a larser figure than In any similar period for many months, the total reaching to nearly 75o.io shares. During the latter half of the session trading was much In terrupted by the New Year's celebration of the Produce exchange on the neighboring floor. In which many members of the Stock exchange participated, while the spirit of preparation for tho Stock exchange frolic was also In the air The taking f profits on the two days' rise mnde considerable Impression on prices during the final hour, so that some conspicuous stocks lost all ot their esrly gains. The great central factor In the day's mar ket was the safe passing of what has been considered a danger point In money affairs. The fact that New Year's day has been reached without money embarrassment Is taken to demonstrate the success of the plans made tor meeting the extraordinary requirements upon the money market at this reason. For the moment the possible future requirement to be met by reason of extended loans and deferred payments of obligations Is lott sight of and confidence Is general that the normal relaxation In money rates will follow the turn of the year. Current reports of railroad earnings also show a larger ratio In gross earnings, rais ing the hope of an Improved showing In net re tu me. The yearly reviews now appearing of the closing year's extraordinary prosperity had a strong sentiment on speculation and the governments estimate of the very large cereal crop gave substantial ground for a hopeful feeling iver tne future. Of the day s special developments the maintenance of the 7 per cent dividend on Delaware & Hudson stock was a reassuring factor, es pecially In the case of the coalers. That group, however, was affected by realizing. The rise In (he price of copper had a gen erally favorable effect besides Its Influence on Amalgamated. The railroad commis sion's Intimation that it had a plan for Im proving the handling of congested traffic on the local street railways induced heavy speculation In Manhattan. Brooklyn Tran sit was held back on account of the pre sentment by the Kings county grand jury condemning Its car service. A feature of the day was the diligence with which all classes of stocks were bid up so long as offerings continued liht. A number of re cent flotations which have been practically dormant owing to the tight money market were vigorously advanc d. Example were United States Reali) and American Steel foundries and on the curb International Marine (when Issued). The money market continued stiff today, but eased off In the late transactions. The truet companies continued to call loans and the forces of de pletion of bank reserves seemed to be still at work, but all such considerations were ignored In the almost exultant confidence expressed by the stock operators that the turn of the year will see the end of their money troubles. The bond market was broad and active and made general advances. Total sales, par value, $2,345,000. United States bonds were nil unchanged on the last call.

WHEAT The mar ket has been Influenced pome by the In crease In the government estimate of the crop, and all the markets have yielded to gether. There has been some selling by local professionals and some stop-less nell ItiK. but the trade has been small and un important. The December discount wid er ed to 34c under the May. Weather In Argentine favorable for harvest and the weather moderate through the winter wheat belt In this country. Minneapolis and Du luth ere expeoted to Increase 1,050.000 bush els for the week. The seaboard reports 16 loads for export. CORN There has been a small corn mar ket, with prices off slightly. The sentiment was Influenced some by the government crop estimate for the crop 2,525,000,000 bushels, or fully as high as any estimate so far made. The crowd has kept an eye on the December at St. Louis, where the bulls apparently have kept the control, as the December there sold at 46c, against 43c yesterday. New York reports two loads for export. Weather west favorable for move ment but milder predicted for middle west. OATS There has been a draggy oats market, with fluctuations small and de clines unimportant. The mood has been nffected some by the government crop es timate issied last night. Oats receipts here the last year, 78.ooo.oOO bushels, com pared with 90.000.000 In 1901; shipments, 68. 000,000 bushels, compared with 70.000,000 in 1901. New York reports 00,000 bushels for export.

COTTON The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 2(ff3 points. For the day preceding a holi-. day speculative operation were on a most satisfactory scale, prices losing up to the best point of the season and 80 points above the lowest on the part of the crop. Jan uary started out as the bull feature, ad vancing t points soon after the call. Its highest point was 871, 6 points above last night. In March and May the feature wus good buying for Wall street pool Interests and prominent Philadelphia people. There was also a good general demand early in the day on over-night orders by people who regard the present export shipments but temporary. English cables, while open ing Sent points lower, later contributed con siderable aid to 'he bulls by showing a Fartlal recovery. Late offering by room raders were so quickly absorbed by the market as to check aggressiveness along this line. From the south reports were quite bullish as to the spot situation; ex porters were reaay buyers of the staple, and private English cables noted a general European covering movement, aa well ns some expansion of speculative business. At one time during the afternoon prices lost several points under local realizing, but this was followed by returned buying ex cept In January, which closed about 4 pornts under the top.

MAY LOSE THEIR TITLES. ' Panic Amnnn' American Girls Who Married Frenchmen. Titled Frenchmen are shocked at the prospect of having the pretty handles to their names taken away. The name ot Count Bonl de Castellane, who was recently unseated In the chamber of deputies be cause of his misuse of the elective fran chise, is uttered with bitter adjective on every side, for his misdoing is held re sponsible for the proposed Innovation. A bill abolishing all French titles haa been introduced Into the chamber of dep uties and was received with expressions of approval by a majority of the members. The house at once took up the nieasurs, presented by Deputy Fournler, into urgent consideration, anl referred it to a commit tee. There is universal belief that It will pass. French titles carry with them no privt--lges under the republic, but thoy are legal ized forms of address and are recognized In foreign courts when questions of prece dence arise. To abolish them would be to strike a blow at many American women of wealth who exchanged their fortunes, and many of them their happiness, for titles. Castellane, who has always Von among the most extreme and arrogant of the so called royalists. Is the most universally de tested man in Paris today, for now his own party friends are turning against him. Some well-known American women whose titles are menaced by the French chamber of deputies axe as follows: Miss Anna Gould, now Countess Bonl de Castellane. Miss Barbey, now Countess de Portales. Miss Burdan, now Baroness Lepeletler d'Aunay. Miss Butterfiold. now Countess de Mon- tauban. Miss Claire Coudert, now Marquise de' Cbolseul. Miss Mary O. Caldwell, now Marquise de Morenvllle. Miss Forbes, now Duchess of Cholseul Praslln. Mrs. Herbert Oallatln, now Countess Au gust de Rohan-Cabor. Miss Medera Marie Hoffman, now Mar- qulse de Mores. Mies Mary Haywird, now Countess of Chabot. Mlas Marie Ledoux, now Marquise de Valourl. Miss Carola Livingston, now Countess de Laugler-VUlars. Mrs. Charles F. Llverraore, now Baroness de Setlllere. Mlsi Virginia Lowery, now Duchess d'Areos. Miss Maggie Mitchell, now Dnchesse do la Rochefoucald. Mlas Meigs, how Countess de Naffray. Miss Mary Mlnell, now Countess d'Av enal. Miss Nichols, now Baroness de Cham- brun. Miss Maria Read, now Countess de Fonts. Miss Marin Schenck, now Duchess ot Vlllars-Blsnce. The Cautions Boarder.
