OMAHA, Dec. 81, 1H.
The December liquidation came to an
end In wheat without any demonstration
of any srt. but th end of the December
corn hrouKlit a decline of 2c from the cpen
Ir.g. This made the corn 2 under the May
option. The wheat market was nervoue,
but not so much so as during1 the pre
ceding day. Friday It was most confusing,
as hy some It was thought the Wall street
pool wss dumping its holdings and by
others this selling was considered merely
1"T the purposs of shaking off tallers.
Chicago eleventh-hour tallers did liquidate,
which caused some weakness. The Decem
ber wheat opened up todav at I1.14H, one
half cent above th Friday close. The
high point was II 14H. but the market
weakened toward he close and the last
quotation on December was II 13 The
May wheat closed Friday at 81.13V It
opened todav at 84 14H. declined to 81.13,
rallied at the close to 11.14V
The eaKtern long interest bought most
or Its wheat at near the present figure
and has no Inducement to sell now. The
speculators are holding ovtr until after
the holidays. An Odessa cable gives the
crop at .tlxiovi s.h.roa. i - - iimonno in
U"3. liroomhali estimates the world s shln
nents for next week at 8.000. arm bushels.
' "" to go to Europe. He expects a fair
decrease In breadstuff afloat. Australian
wheat shipments for the week are 352.000.
ajralnst 621.0. last week and .T92.C0 last
year. Two elevator lines In Minnesota are
reported as saylne; their houses hold less
wheat now than the same period last year.
Minneapolis shipped IW.fliiO todav and Bo.onO
flour The Minneapolis stock of No. 1
northern is 3.492.753 and of all (Trades 14.
3'"2m7. an Increase of 61.51S bushels. The
Ontario crop Is said to be smaller than
estimated, ti.Ofin.ooi), against 20,ii00,f) for
lift year, snd the Ontario millers drawing
20.l.mo frorn Manitoba.
The December liquidation in corn brought
a weak close. The Friday session ended at
44 ve and today's opening was 44'ic, but the
market steadily declined with one or two
small bulges until the closing figure was
f2V. The corn situation Is dull. The sell
ing rressure Is not urgent, hut It Is large
enough to keep the market from going up.
T he buying Is- not Imperative, but It comes
from Influential Interests and Is in volume
enough to keep the market firm. Farmers
City. Illinois, reports corn In that section
!eu m onp-h"''f to three-fourtha marketed.
The prices have been good enough to sat
isfy the farmers and the roads have been
in good condition.
The oat market Is also dull. The visible
Is so laree as to deter outside speculation.
The receipts are normal and the demand
not particularly strong.

CHICAoO, Dec. SI. Improved milling de
mand was one of the cnief (actors in a
trong wneat market tooay. Final quota
tions on May wheat showed a net gain of
Vt c. Corn Is up V. Oats an J rfo
Visioiie are practica.ly unchanged.
A moderate bulge In wheat prices oc
curred at the Immediate opening, f he cause
was a lairly good commission house de
mand. May was Wfii.c to VoVe higher at
II. lo-i "01.14. The buying was partly the re
sult 01 continued light receipts In tne north
west, arrivals tooay being almost half
nat they were a year ago. Another tat
ter influencing the situation was a reporx
that prospects are good for a considerable
decrease in the amount of wheat on pas
sage and In the world a shipments. Atte
May had advanced to 81.14' a quick reac
tion occurred on realising hy pit traders,
the price declining to 1.13Vil.l4V n the
break, however, the market met with good
supixjrt from a leader of the bulls. Uulck
recovery followed. Prlcee were given a de
cided upward Impetus by news from the
northwest, where cash markets showed un
usual strength. Reports from Minneapolis,
calming big sales of flour, were an addi
tional bull Influence. A late factor was a
rumor to the effect that the Illinois crop
report would be quite bullish. During the
latn hour of trading the market held re
markably firm, offerings being compara
tively Insignificant. After selling up tt
tl.l4-Vyl.14a. May closed at S1.14-V Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to 152.
80O bushels. Primary receipts were 573. Oo0
bushels, compared with 1 027. tmo bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Cht
cajro reported receipts of 340 cars, against
U12 a year ago.
Liquidation of December option was the
feature of trading In the corn market. This
elllng hud seme effect on the distant fu
tures. The general market, however. howed
a slight resnon to the wenknes of the
December delivery. May opened unchanged i
10 a snjae lower at 4o,,74o,e to tsc, soiq
off to 45Sc and closed at 4jta 4bc. Local
receipts were 375 car, with 2 of contract
grade.
The strength of "heat had a steadying
Influence on the osts market, prices fluc
tuating within a narrow range. The volume
of trading was r xtremelv small. May
opened a shade higher at JlSe, sold off to
81V and closed at 81V(31Sc. Local re
ceipts were 64 cars.
Provisions were a trifle easier earlier tn
the day In sympathy with a small decline
In the price of hogs. There was some ne.i
Ing by small packers, offering being taken
vy snons. a steamer tone developed later
In the session, prices at the close showing
a slight gain. Mav pork wss up 2V5c at

CATTLE There were a few cattle In the
yards this morning, but not enough with
which to make a test of the market. For
the week receipts show a decrease, as com
pared with last week amounting to about
3.000 head and of about 2.000 head as com
pared with the same week of last year.
The tendency of prices on beef steers
wss upward the early part of the week,
owing- to very light receipt and to a
fairly good demand. On Friday, however,
there waa a liberal run and packer made
use of the opportunity to break the mar
ket, with the result that they took off
nearly nil they put on the early part of
the week. In some cases steers that Just
suited buyers yesterday sold perhaps a
dime higher than the same kinds brought
last week, but as a general thing there
wa very little change. In other words,
the market I back to Just about where It
was before the bad weather of this week
caused a shortage In supplies. Good to
choice cornfed steer may be quoted from
84.90 to 15.50 and something strictly prime
would probably sell well up toward t 00.
Fair to good cattle sell from 84 25 to 14.75
and the shorter fed and common kinds
from 84 .15 down.
The cow market followed much the same
course as the stfer market. Common to
medium cow yesterday lost all of the ad
vance of the early port of the week, but
choice cows and heifers are perhaps lOo to
15c higher than they, were a week ago.
Buyers all seem to be anxious for the
better grades and as a result they did not
suffer as badly on FTlday as the com
moner kinds. Good to choice grades sell
from 82.90 to 83.50. with strictly choice
grade up to 13.80 or a little better. Fair
to good go at 82 25 to 32.75 and cannera
largely from tl 50 to 12.00.
Bulls advanced the first part of the week,
but the market closed with price. If anv
thing, a little lower than they were the
week before. Feeder bulls sell mostly
from 82.00 to 1250. with good fat bulls from
8? 60 to 13 50. Bologna bulla sell from 12.50
down. Veal cslvee are sfeady for the
week: best grades up to 15 60.
The atocker and feeder market was slow
nd weak the first part of the week, but
the latter part the demand Improved,
owing to better weather, and closing prices
are Just about the same as they were at
the close of last week. Good to choice
grades sell from 83.50 to 84 00; fair to good.
81.25 to 83.50, and commoner kinds from
83.15 down. Representative sales:

HOGS There was a liberal run of hogs
here this morning for a Saturday and as
advice from other points were rather un
favorable the tendency of prices was down
ward. The market could be quoted active
and nearly a nickel lower. The long string
went at 84 474, with the bulk of all the
ale at 84 45 to 34.50. with choice hogs up
to $4,524. Trading waa quite active at the
decline, so that most all the early arrivals
mere disposed of In good season. Some of
the trains were late In arriving, which d
layed the close to quite an extent. Trading
on the close waa rather slow, with the feel
ing a little weak.
For the wefk receipt hav been very
light, there being a decrease aa compared
with last week of about 24.000 head and of
17.000 head a compared with the aame
week of last year. Tha Kndency of prices
wa upward until Friday, when there waa
a reaction, followed by a decline today
of about a nickel. This leaves closing
prlcea around nickel higher than they
were at the close of last week. Repre
sentative aalea:

SHEEP There were ab.:ut four cars of
sheep and lamlta on sale this mo.ntng and
they brought just about steady pi be-. For
the week receipts hav been eKtnmey
' light, being onlv about one-fourth as latg
! as they were last week and the ssme week
of last year. In view of the llghl lerelpts
and good demand prices have steadily lm
i proved. ,
As compared with the close rf la--t week
1 both sheep and lambs have alvwn an ad
, vane of JTfiKir. Whether or not the im
, provement would hae teen so steal hal
not the severe storm cut down receipts is
: hard to tell, but packers have had to hive
. supplies and the small number on sale
made competition keen, wuh tha conse
quent advance.
Very few feeders are coming forward and
those that do sell to feeder buyer are
mostly led stuff. There Is quite a demand
for fewdinr stock, so that anything at sll
desirable would meet with ready sale at

occasioning traders In this, the chief wool
market of the United States, considerable
apprehension whether serious conditions
will be encountered before the new clip.
The Boston Wool Bulletin has Just com
pleted It annual canvass of the wool sup
ply of the country. It will say that Boston
greets l'5 with a startling situation. It
finds that the supply of wool, domestic and
foreign, on hand unsold here. 1 the small
