Favorable weather fur harvesting In Argentina caused weak ness today in trie wheat market nere. At the close wheat for May delivery was off 4Vc, corn waa down 4ti4c, oats shewed a loss of 4i74! and provisions were prac tically unchanged. The sentiment In the wheat pit was liearlnh throughout the day. Tho factor chiefly responsible for this feeling was a tublcjrrafv . trow, , Arg entlna .which slated that'rhe' dnmago td the crops in that coun try by rain had been slight and that about 4! per cent of the croo had already been l.itrvested. The fact that prlcea for wheat nt Liverpool were lower substantiated In the mind of local traders the accuracy of the advices from Argentina. A decreased demand fur cash wheat at the principal gruln centers In this country was another weakening Influence. During the first half i.f the session commission nouses and pit traders were persistent sellers, but their offerings met with only moderate response. This resulted In a considerable decline. Later there vus active buying by shorts mid much of tho early loss was regained. The market closed fairly steady. May rpened a shade to 4fi'4fi lower at 896S4c sold oft to RS&8S4c and closed at RTc. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to !!'.0O) bu. Primary receipts were 727.0UO bu.. against 774.000 bu. one year ago. The world's visible supply, as shown by Brad street's. Increased 3.500.000 bu. Minneap olis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 656 cars, against 685 cars last week and 727 cars a year ago. Prospects of a liberal Increase In the movement of corn weakened today's mar ket. There was liquidation by a number of prominent longs and much selling by commission houses. Weather throughout the corn belt waa reported as highly favor able for handling the crop and this caused an Increased selling pressure, which con tlnued until the close. Mny opened Vft'c. lower at 444?l444o. sold off to 44u444c and closed easy at 44 44V. Local receipt were b4 cars, wnn 14 cars of contract grade. Weakness of wheat and corn caused moderate selling of oat by pit trader. A a result the market had a weak under tone, but buying by several bulls checked the decline. The close was steady. May opened a shade to 4c lower at 8::4'u32ac, sold off to 3:4f'34? and closed at 324c. jocai receipts were ai cars. Provisions were weak because of free selling of pork and lard. The chief de i-llne was In Junuary, which sold off Ibc. Heavy rerelpts of live hogs caused the de cline In price. , Ribs held steady because of light offering. At the close May pork was off 2Vc at J 13.40. I.ard was down 24o at 373'-'4. nibs were up a shade at 17.15.

DEALINGS ARE LARGELY PROFESSION Rally la the Ist Hoar U Followed by a Sharp Break aad Close Is Irregalar. NEW YORK. Dec. 11 This wss another day of artlve and varied speculation In the '""it market, although the volume or the radlng was not fully up to that of yes terday, which reached the maximum for the season Selling to realise profits was ery clearly In evidence at many points hrotighout the day, but this process aas ecompnsned with good success and wss In net one of the most encouraging Incidents r the market. The only decided breaks were at the very last. The small general nubile share In the speculation has been the subject of con stant comment and skepticism has gained force as to the ability to dispose at a profit of the enormous accumulation In special stocks which rave been made by pools and organised parties In the process of ad vances in prices to tne unprecedented levels reached. Nearly all the stocks which made conspicuous gains yesterday were under Uiis realizing process today. Some of them opened higher and maintained some of their gulns without extending them, Reading being a notable example. In others the opening gains were yielded almost Imme diately, but prices were not allowed to re cede to any extent below last night. As sustaining forces In the market there was a return to the method of furious activity and spectacular advances In special stocks nd those selected today were found again amongst the industrials In the majority of cases. Stocks having to do with the various metal Industrials, especially Copper and Iron, were conspicuous. A substantial basis for the strength In this group were the trade conditions In those Industries. -ine market price of copper was again advanced In this market and trade reports asserted hat sales ahead for many months had al ready been made uo to the productive ca pacity of the trade at the present profitable level or prices. The brilliant conditions in tho Iron and steel trade also received ex tensive attention and discussion by the pre sentation of many detailed facts bearing upon different departments of that trade. It waa asserted that the value of November exports of the products of the United States steel corporation was tne largest on recoru, notwithstanding the enormous demands and the hlirh or Ices nrevalllng. Some of tne southern railroads having a large Iron traf tie were affected hv this movement. The corn carrying railroads showed a de gree of strength. Missouri Facino being es peclally affected by the Missouri state crop report. A wldo advance In the New York nubile utilities was due to the views ot operators regarding the probable outcome of the legal contest over the New York election. Rates ror money on can were at cldedly easier, tho rate for renewals read nff at in ner mni nr unner. in s wan v trihutori to the additional BUDDlles attracted to this center from outside sources by the profitable rates prevailing. Nothing oc curred In the routine of the money market to Indicate a change in the course oi at fnlra Foreign, exchange was firm, with the re laxation In the money rate. There were still large offerings of foreign trade funds, how in this market. Discounts In London were easier and sterling exchange at Paris recovered a fraction, but made a short drop at Berlin. The situation at that point Is watched with apparent anxiety and there were various surmises afloat of special measures of relief there. Including the lend ing of a large sum In Perlln by the Bank of England and tne reporiea imniu ' tlclpute the payment of January 1 Russian ,... ir, rterlln The subtreasury n.j i rake funds from the New York market and the credit oy mat innimu the clearing house today reflected a con tinuance of this drain. Stocks made a. good rally from the profit-taking early In the lust hour, but broke rather feverish with the final dealings and a violent rush of Hnicltlnsr stocks and lead.

The quality of the sneep offered was a l.ttle better than usual of late, but a third or more of the offerings consisted of feeders. Trains were late irtiln todnv. so thnt the stock dirt nr. get to the barns until late. In the morning. There was. a rather small supply of fat sheep on the n.arket this morning, the most of the offerliiK. however, were of fairly good quality. Tarkers were out at the barns early looking for desirable killing sheep, but they were forced td stand sro.ind for some time and wait for the stuff to get In and be shaped up. What good stock was on the market sold readily at prices that were fully steady with yes terday. There era a a fairly liberal supply of feed ing sheep and lambs on the market. There were quite a number of country buyers In, so that there was active demand for good feeder sheep. Oood. choice feeders sold readily at prices thnt were fully steady. The common kinds sold fairly well, but were Inclined to be a trifle easier than yes terday.
