May corn closed HVtc lower. Oats were oil Ho. Provisions were firm, tha May products closing from bo to 17o higher. wheat opened firm In ay m path y with a almllar ' feeling reported from Liverpool. Soma emphuii was added by amali receipts- In tha northwest. The nrmhesTi In tha foreign market waa partly due to bad weather reporta from Argentine, but a cablegram to-a Chicago commission ilrm from Roaarlo said that the weather waa im- S roving and that little damnga had ben on tha wheat erop. . At tha rami time tha V bull Intereat her manltes.ed a tendency to dispose of holdlnga. I hi fact exerted considerable Influence upon amail holders. Aa a result of tha combination of circumstance: a good deal of long wheat came oat and -easier tone developed. May selling off to- 8lfc(r8Ma,. after opening a shade lower to a shade higher at 8lc to llHo. The -high point of tha day was reached shortly atter the opening, when May touched 81Hc The market he.d steady at tha decline for a time, and during the latter part of the eeralon a better tone was manifested on reporta of an active export bualneae. Advlrea from- tha seaboe d claimed forty-five boat loads had be.n taken for shipment, with the greater part of this wheat consigned to Lisbon, i ha cash tmAlnea, also, showed marked Im- rrovement ahd thla helped tha sprcu.atlve radlng.

Opening prices were a trifle hither on a fair commission house demand, due to firm cables and good export business reported ' yesterday, btit there waa not- much corn wanted and under scattered selling by local operatora the market , weakened. Tha weather continued fine and there were some messages from the west, mostly from Nebraska, which stated that the ronds were In excellent condition for hauling and that farmers were disposed to roll their V"'11 Por" a. little mnrereely.

After a steady opening oata eased off In sympathy with. Cora, on selling; by one or two commission houses. The larger part of tbs trading waa of a aralplng nature and lacked any special features. Local bears were not Inclined to sell much, owing to tha continued small receipts, which wou'd seem to Indicate that tha crop had been var-eetlmated. Prices showed little change.

Dee. 17 Jt..'. it stock market was not materially different In character from that of yesterday. The imimacunna were largely conducted In a few specialties and the dealings In those were supposed to have their origin In tha board room. The speculation In Amalga mated Copper, was stli; active and that stock was tha vehicle for a large part of the operations af the professional traders. The large forelan demand fnr mnmr wo a aaslgned at the motive of the buying. The 1 IT '"ao'eo snarpiy in the latter part of the day and thla waa effective, together with the weakness developed In Brooklyn Transit In forcing the whole list to a lower level. . The selling of Brooklyn Transit was quite obviously profit taking on the recant oonalderable rlae In the etock with a large epecuiauve following. Sugar also waa sold to take proflta nn th Annntmnt Af t Cuban reciprocity treaty. Aa the stock movTO upwaraa lor many days In ex pectation of this action, the movement to take profits waa fully normal. The bal ance at the day's principal business was done in United tuatea aii nni.,ii Th. stick was conspicuous throughout. ' The understanding that the structural steel pool had agreed to maintain prieea waa favorably Interpreted and there was much current quotations of more hopeful views of the out look In the trade and quieted denials of the reported intention to out ine pnea oi steel rails. The day's news had various variable feature, but ttie general stock list failed to reSDond. Tha sale Of 110.000 of Atchison hnnrfa ni the etock a point In Its price, although the awakened rapaoity of Uie market to absorb new bond issues was not a discour aging factor. The Incident was made the occasion for some renewed conjecture as in.. iar me increased faculties or the money market, which r hmm. ,n .en velop after the new year, will be en croached upon by the requirements foe railroad borrowings. The aterllng exchange market " moved strongly away from the gold Import point. Demand for remittance for year-end obli gations continued large and the supply of cotton bills showed some diminution. The Indications of a strong bank return on Saturday and the nrnmlae nt money conditions denrjved the movement In the exchange mar it of any disturbing Influence.

In fact, prices were, It anything, a little lower and trading extremely dull. Packer do not seem to want fresh supplies, and as a result .tne price tbey oner are ruinously low. ' The market-on cornfed steer could riot be quoted anything but : extremely dull and lower. Buyers were Indifferent and would .scarcely, make bid on anything except a few that just suited their fancy. Tidy, handy weight cattU, well fattened and of good quality, they would buy, but aside from those they d!d not seem to care whether they get the cattle or not. Commission men are still advising their shipper to hold back their - cattle until after the holiday and give an opportunity for packeaa to clean ud the surplus meat they hare on hand, and also to clean up th poultry on me marxet. The cow yharket waa also dull and a little lower. . The. same as with steers the demand was confined to the choicest grade and even those were a little lower. The medium kinda and also common stuff was very hard to move at ny price. The mar ket for toe wK 1 tne biggest kind rf a quarter ' lower, with a good many sales showing a muoh greater - loss than that Bulls, veal calves and stags are all dull and a little lower. Stockara and feeders were n small Bun- pfy again tblar morning, and, a the c niand from the country ha been- fairly gooa tnis weea, tne maraei waa atenoy on all desirable arades.

Packers all wanted some good stuff, and as a result the market ou that class rtned active and steady. Borne yearlinga brought 14.15, ewes 33.60 and fair lambs 34.76. Owing to the small number on sale the market soon came to a close. For tne week there ha not been much change on well fattened stock. The demand ha been fully equal to the supply and price generally ateady. Common and part fat kinds have been more or leas neglected and have rold at rather uneven prices, the same as usual. As compared with a year ago lambs are 16TJ4Cc higher, while ewe and wether are 6094 Too lower. Very few feeder have arrived thla week and aa a result the market Is generally teady.
