CHICAGO. Dec 2.-A forecast made by
an English autistlcian that world a ahip
menta of wheat for the week would show
a, large increase caused weakness today in
the wheat market here. At the close wheat
for May delivery was down feo. Corn and
oata were practically unchanged. Provi
sions were off ifefjlOc
' The wheat market was weak throughout
the entire session. The principal cause of
this condition was a statement regarding
the world a ahipmenta emantlng from Liv
erpool. According to this, the total move
ment will approximate 14,000,000 bu., com
pared with 10,593,000 bu. for the correspond
ing week of last year. The same authority
predicted a considerable increase in the
amount of breadstuffa on ocean passage.
This tended to Increase bearish sentiment
Early in the day selling was held In check
by a marked decrease of receipts In the
northwest, but during the lust half of the
session selling became quite general, result
ing in a material decline. Pit traders and
commission houses were the chief sellers.
Offerings were taken by shorts and a few
local bulls. The volume of trading on the
whole was small. The market closed weak
with prices almost at the lowest point of
the day. The May option opened a shade

NEW TORK, Dec. 2. -Today s stock mar
ket was under the some influences aa tnat
of yesteruay. The depression and hesita
tion miiuwii In the eariy dealings were
based upon uncertainties of the money out
look, the llnancltil disturbances In Kussia
and some anxiety over the effect ot tne
assembling of congress and the proposed
legislation for federal control of ranroad
rates. There is no actual borrowing of
money at the Stock exchange on Saturday,
loans made on Friday carrying over until
Monday. Yesterday a money Hurry to 16
per cent left its disturbing Influence and
the appearance of the bank statement was
looked to with Interest to throw light on
the actual situation. The statement waa
a weak one, but sentiment aeemed to lean
to the Interpretation that the conditions
disclosed were ttiose of the last week and
that Improvement was to be expected next
week. The consequence waa an upward
tendency of prices after the publication
of the bank statement, which served to
restore largely the previous declines. A
good effect waa produced by the appear
ance of support at last In the Rock Island
Issue and tne denial of rumors of the with
diawal of a leading Interest in that prop
erty. The bank statement Itself, with a
decrease reported of $4,693,000 in cash, re
flected rather more than the expected loss.
As Inst week showed more than the ex
pected gain, this week's ahowlng was at
tributed to the working of the average
system. The- loan expansion of $ll.u94,twO
and the resulting Increase In deposits
swelled the reserve requirement so as to
augment the shrinkage In the surplus to
$ti.D91.725, bringing that item down again to
$2,565,375. The foreign exchange market, al
though nominal on Saturday, was easier
In tone and rates of discount declined again
In London. Sterling exchange at Paris was
weak. The closing tone of stocka waa firm
at the recovery.
Total alea of bonds, par value, $1,385 000.

LONDON. Dec. J Money wss fairlv
plentiful In the market today and discounts
wsre easier. The low rate at wnlch the
treasury bills were allotted had a weaken
ing effect, added to the expectattona of
much ranter money after the redemption of
the exchequer bond. Prices on the Stock
txthange were heavy and Irregular, owing
to the political tinpettlement. Consols were
essy. Homo rails were dull. Americans
opened weak and later there wita an all
round decline, a reflection of the heavy
sales In New York. Blocks nioetly were
below parity. The movements were irregu
lar. Trading wss Inactive, and the market
closed dull. Foreigners wre dul. and mM!y
stationary. Russians were very wek
Jjane fluctuated. Kafflia were eold
owing? to the political uncertainty and the
attitude of Paris. Japanese Imperial 6a
of 1904 were quoted at 1"!. Russian Im
perial 4s reached 83. which waa a record
low price in this market.
BERLIN. Dec. 2. Prices on the Bourse
today opened strong upon the recovery
of Russians In Paris yesterday. Russians
advanced strongly, but weakened toward
the close.
PARIS. Dec. 2 Prices on the Bourse
todsy were very weak. Business had a bad
tendency from the outset, and this In
creased1 throughout the day. Russlsns led
the decline, Russian bonds losing 13f and
Imperial 4s losing 2f. The closing advices
from the St. Petersburg Bourse renewed
the decline and at the close Russians were
very weak. Russian linperlsl 4s were quoted
at S3 and Russian bonds of 19ut at 487.

CATTLE There were only a few loads

, callv ateadv with Miiv'i
There waa a light run of cattle thla
week, only 13,730 head being received as
ulnar ill l?fi hu,4 .--..-I ... , 1 . ... ,. JL,.
) Is the smallest run of cattle received since
the first week In August. The run for th
bvutwiiuiiuiiiB e lust year waa 20 ons
head, which la about 7,000 head larger than
tha run thla week. One thing that mad
tha recelpta somewhat smaller than tho
previous week was the fact that Thursday
was a holiday and there waa no atock re
ceived on that day, aa the yards were
cloned.
The receipts of beef steers this week have
been rather light and the quality of the
atock haa been rather on the inferior order
wilh the greater portion of the stock on
the warmed-up and short-fed order and
while there lias been a good demand for
beef steers on the part of the packers all
this week they were wanting the better
claas of stuff and were slow about taking
It. However, owing to the light run price!
on beef cattle have advanced about foa2fc
over the close of last week's market
The market on cows and heifers has been
In good condition all during the week
There has been a light run of cows along
with the other stock, while there has been
a good demand both from the packers and
local buyers, who were out with orders In
considerable number nearly every day with
the result that the trading on this kind of
slock was active and cloned the week with
prices 2i,-fl4oc higher than laat week
There has been a moderate run of stock
era and feedera this week, while the oual
ly fe eneral rf'8 been rather on
the Inferior order. During the fore part of
the week there waa quite a demand from
country buyera. of whom there were quite
a number in. However, they were looking
for the better class of stock and were
rather particular both as to the weight
and quality. As a result of this discrimina
tion the market has not experienced any
quotable ciiange In prices from last week
However, good choice cattle sold at prl.-es
that were somewhat stronger than those
at the close of last ween, s trading, while
the medium and common stock sold at
practically steady prices all during the
week.

HOGS There was a moderate run of hogs
on the market this morning, eighty cars
about 5.407 head,- being received up to noon
today. The total for tha week as com
pared with a week ago Is about t.iioO head
smaller; the number of head of hogs re
ceived this week Is about 3u,ou0, as against
84.819 head last aeek. and the run for this
week is not much more than half the else
of the receipts for the corresponding week
last year, when 58,622 head of hogs were
received. The receipts for the week were
a Utile smaller than the packers and apc
ulators were expecting and in place of the
continued decline which waa hilled to take
place thla meek the latter portion of the
week saw an advance In prices. This was
caused partly by the small receipts and
partly by a bulge In the provisions market
on the last three days of the week. The
market this morning opened reasonably
active and genetally 2c lower man yes
terday's opening. UUr, however, the mar
ket took another small slump and closed
the day with prices generally 2rj6c lower
than yesterday's average. The bulk of the
sales today were made In the neighborhood
vf H874 W, wim tae loppy loads selling
mostly around 84 T. The msrltet fer the
wek Is about 20o tilaher thanat the rlose
of the market one week ago. The market
at this point is In a good, healthy condi
tion and appears to have a better tone
than any ef the ether river market.

SHEEP There was a rather light run
Of sheep thla week. 81.207 head being re
ceived up to noon Saturday, aa against
42.419 head last week, and tne receipts are
the smallest since the third week In Au
gust. The run for the week Is larger,
however, than the receipts for the corre
sponding week bist year by about 8,000
head.
There haa been a rather small run of
fat sheep on the market this week and st
no time have the receipts equalled tha
demand. However, the quality ot the sheep
received has been rather on the Inferior or
der of stuff. Packers have been wanting
desirable killing sheep every div, while the
demand has been Inadequate. Tha most of
the sheep coming In nave been on the
warmed-up or short-fed order, while the
packers have not cared to take much of
that kind of stock and discriminate against
it. But anything that waa at all desirable
has aold all during the week at good,
strong prices, so that at the close of the
week a trading the market on good, choice
killing atock la active and 20Tu4oc higher
than a week ago. Good, choice, fat lambs
are selling at pi ices that are steady te
strong as compared with the close ot last
week a market.
The receipts of feeding sheep during the
week have been rather light and the qual
ity haa not been very good. The demand
on the part of local and country buyera
has been only fairly good, but in aplte
of these handicaps the market' on feeder
sheep closes the week steady en the me
dium and common kinds of stock and is
stronger than at the close cf last week
on good, choice feeders.

DOCTORS WANT HIGHER RANK
Ordnance Department, Like Medical
Department, Not Satisfied with
Standing of Officers.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 2. Strong effort will
be made at the coming session of congress
to obtain mora money for the medical and
ordnance departments of the army that the
officers in these departments may have In
creased rank.
The medical department has been espe
cially active since the last session of con
gress in making Its needs known and Rep
resentative Hull, chairman of the house
committee on military affairs, cays civilian
doctors throughout the United States have
taken up the cause of the army surgeons
and are exerting great Influence to gain the
concessions sought by the medical depart
ment. Under present conditions the med
ical department of the army feels it Is handi
capped by the provision that a doctor en
tering the army cannot attain the rank or
captain for five years. In the navy only
three yea-s is required for the same ad
vancement. Like the medical department, the ord
nance department aaya it la unable to
afford sufficient rank to applicants to make
lta work attractive. The ordnance depart
ment la also anxious to have legislation
which will shorten from four years to one
year the time which ordnance officers must
serve In the line when transferred from
ordnance duty.
