in Omaha there were good receipts of

CHICAGO. Dec. -Wheat prices whip
sawed today over a range of lc. The
close showed a loss of c Corn li up
c. ats show a gain of He. Provision
are up folic.
The wheat market was largely swayed
by the leadership of a few strong Inter
ests, nearly every Influential transaction
being credited to a house with eastern con
nections or to prominent locsl leaders.
Traders at the outset seemed Inclined to
favor the besr side. Cables reported Ar
gentine weather fine and harvest progress
ing favorably. May quotations showed an
initial loea of c at lUoVdl-H. n1
with free offerings, there wss a further
recession to Sl.lov In the face of baMsh
conditions, however, the prices rallied on
buying, said to be for short account, the
market overcoming the early loss and ad
vanced to ll.lli. The strength proved to
be only temporary, however, and was fol
lowed by another season of receding values.
May touching $l.lo. a lower point than
on the previous drop. With numerous
fractional fluctuations, the market gradu
ally worked up again to II. US for May
delivery, settling back during the final
trading to 81.11, and closing firm. Exports
of wheat and flour for the week were
equal to 1.139.000 bu., against 4.67.0O0 bu.
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported receipts of 6S4 cars, which with
local receipts of thirty-two cars, made a
total of ?lt cars, against 763 cars last week
and 4 cars a year ago.
The feature of the trade In corn waa
the alarm that apparently had seised De
cember shorts and the eagerness with which
they took offerings. There was little of
that delivery for sale and prices responded
quickly, advancing from 46V) at the open
ing to 47c, and carrying the deferred
option with It. May started with the price
unchanged to He higher at 44344c, mak
ing fractional gains with momentary re
actlona, until It touched 46c. The close was
firm, but a shade down from the top. at
44Vyc. Local receipts were &S0 cars, with
14 cars contract.
Oats were a shade firmer, with corn.
Trade was light and scattered. May
started unchanged to a shade lower, kept
within a narrow range and closed at 3oSc,
Ixx al receipts were 62 cars. The provisions
market was active and strong, with a good
general demand. Smaller receipts of live
hogs than usual seemingly alarmed the
more timid ahorta and their covering wa
the source of the market's support. May
pork Is up 15c at 112.96. May lard gained
Hc nt 7.i:v May ribs closed bil'Ktc up
at W.75.77V,. ,
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: wheat,

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BUNDS
Violent Bally of Thursday Afternoon Fol
lowed by a Benewed Drop in Price.
NO FAILURES RESULT FROM FLURRY
Aa Soon aa This Fart la Aaaeanred
Recovery Set la aad the (lose
Is Above Thursday's High
Level.
NEW TORK. Dec. . -Succeeding the
commotion in the stock market yesterday
the course of prices today followed ac
cording to rule, with a series of lessening
fluctuations. After the violent rally of yes
terday afternoon It was to be expected that
there should be a renewed dip this morning.
There were several normal cause to be
looked for to produce this result. There
were the holdings of room traders secured
on the decline yesterday on which quick
profits would Inevitably be sought on the
tirst considerable rally. There were ome
sales to be expected of holdings that had
been accumulated simply with the purpose
of supporting the market In Its period of
greatest weakness. Aa lxmdon was a keen
buyer here on the break there wa aonie
notable profit-taking from that center on
the higher level, which helped to beat back
price this morning.
In a demoralized market Ilk that or
yeeterday, there are speculative holder
strong enough to save their holdings from
undue sacrifice at the moment of greatest
weakness, who are sllll under pressure to
lighten their load on the first rally after
so violent a break. The recovery In prices
has the effect also of driving out of the
market the hard-headed "bargain hunters"
who appear in Wall street only in periods
of panic to buy stocks, or perhaps Inper
loda of boom and inflation to sell. There
waa also the natural uneasiness as to the
depth of the wounds Inflicted yesterday and
the possible consequences. All of these
were contributing cause to the nervou
break in prices In today' early market In
which the losses ran from 12 points In
an extended list of Important properties.
The recovery promptly set In a soon a it
wa announced that all sheet had gone
through the Stock exchange clearing house
successfully, that being equivalent to an
announcement that all financial embarrass
ments had been avoided. There was hesi
tation and dullness when the recovery had
reached about laat night'a closing level
again. Bjit the light pressure to sellat the
recovered level of prices encouraged specu
lative sentiment and induced so much con
fidence that prices were pushed upward
again aggressively, with some evidence of
a resumption of operations by speculative
pcols in spite of yesterday's severe lesson.
Money proved to be In plentiful upply
and the rate for call loan fell back easily.
The severe discrimination agalnat some se
curities as collateral which was a factor In
breaking the market yesterday wa some
what relaxed. The announcement of the
engagement of $500,000 gold in Paris for lm-
fortatlon had nn effect on sentiment, 1
hough the curious cross-currents of the
present gold movement are seen to be quit
apurt from the condition of the exchange
marketa. The ease of the call money mar
ket was accepted a a better index of the
extent of the liquidation effected yesterday
than will be given by tomorrow's bank
statement, which will probably reflect the
loss due to gold exports and transfer to
the Interior through the subtreaaury and
only slightly the loan contraction owing to
the operation of the average system of
commutation. The Missouri Pacific bond
snle and the establishment of dividends on
Southern Pacific preferred were help to
ward reviving speculative spirit. Before
the end of the day the declines had been
transformed into gains of 102 for the prln.
clpal active stocks. The gains were not
fully, Jield and the closing was rather easy.
Bonds turned firm after some early de
clines. Total sales, par value, were $6,995,-
00. United Slate bond wer unchanged
on call.

CATTLE There was not an excessive
run of eattle In sight this morning, but
no great activity characterised the trade.
The quality of the offerings here was again
common, which, of course, had a tendency
to make the market Blow. In plt of that
fact, though, a comparatively early clear
ance wa mad, owing to the limited num
ber on sale.
Quite a few cornfed steer put In an ap
pearance this morning, but none of them
were choice. Packer were rather slow
about taking hold and In some spot the
market was perhaps a trifle weaker. A a
general thing, though, the market could
best be described by calling it rather alow,
but about steady.
Just a few bunches of western range
cattle arrived, and, a all the packer
seemed to want a few the market showed
considerable activity and price were
stronger. Some sales, In fact, looked quite
a little higher. Range cattle hav sold
well all the week and anything at all de
sirable show a sharp advance as compared
with a week ago.
The cow market was low with price
very uneven, packers did not seem to be
aa anxious for supplies as usual, claiming
that prices here are too high as compared
with Chicago, pertlcularly on the hort feds.
A a result they were Inclined to be bear
ish and sales were made all the way from
steady to fully a dime lower. Owing to
the lack of activity and to the fact that
the bulk of the receipts consisted of cows,
It took some time to aell everything in
"'fluVla, veal calve and stags did not
show much change from yesterday, but
bull are lower than they were a week
n spite of the fact that It was Friday
anything at all desirable in the itocker
and feeder line old freely at fully steady
prices The demand for the better grades
is fully equal to the supply. The com
moner kind were not very ctlve today
and no moro than steady. Representative

SHEEP Receipt of sheep and lambs
were very light this morning, and under
the Influence of a brisk demand from all
sources the market ruled active and strong
on sheep that would do to kill. Some
fed ewes sold for $4.40 and a string ot
Wyoming range yearlings brought $4.T5.
This Is the first shipment of desirable ran-
Iters that ha been here in the last few
days and the price received wa very
satisfactory, quality considered. The feel
ing on lambs was not quite so firm a It
ha been, owing to the fact that packer
I hav been paying Chicago price for their
supplies and think It Is time for a change.
A compared with yesterday, though, there
wa very little change, some of the aame
lambs that brought $5.85 yesterday selling
for $5.80 today. It 1 doubtful, hnwer, if
the quality today waa quite a good.
There wa no quotable change in the
feeder market, the demand being fully
equal to the supply, and everything sold
in good season. As high a $5.15 waa
paid for feeder lambs.
