showed a imin of 2),4fl74c.
Trading In the wheat pit waa quiet and
prices fluctuated within a very narrow
range. During the first half of the session
sentiment win Inclined to be bearish, al
though the newa of the day was of such an
Indefinite character as to be of little value
to slthor the, bulls .or bears. A- slight de
cline In the prtae of wheat at Liverpool
caused A depression on the local board at
the opening, the May option being un
changed to 'io lower at .ViMic An In
crease in primary receipts brought out some
soiling toward noon, nnd the price of May
eased o to Ja4c Xate in the day leading
bulls came Into the market and because of
their purchases the market hardened. The

Increased local receipts depressed corn
prices early In the day, but this influence
was offset later by tha alight bulge in

Iremely small. The market closed firm. I
with prices practically at the highest point '

NEW YORK. Dec. lt-BpeculatIvs Inter
est in the atork market waa fully main
tained today, as ia abundantly Indicated by
the volume of the day a salea. The market
waa decidedly Irregular at all times and
more than once during tho progress of the
trading waa quite uniformly weak. Hut
many brilliant advances were scored In
stocks of large Influence on speculative!
sentiment and kept alive confidence in the
market and facilitated the process of real-
I lsing prollts. which waa the cause of tho
, stationary or backward condition of many 1
; stocks in the list and the sharp break at i
Uie laat. '
The evidence of successful progress In !
the dl.-trihutton of holdings is one of the1
most satisfactory features in any bull mar- '
I K"t- The almost entire absence of It In
the course of the current speculation haa 1
. Deen a largo cause for the distrust and
criticism ol the market as being artificial
and flagrantly manipulated. The conserva
tive ciass amongst the commission houses
has not been slow to express Its convlc- 1
tlon that the uninterrupted advance In '
liricea without ntiv nauu.. . r v. au t
trlbution of holdings is entirely abnormal .
and haa made It impossible for them to
alvlse their clients to go into the present!

tomera who have failed to share in the !

accepted as a normal and healthy reaction
has been attentively looked for by a large
class In Wall street as an opportunity to
come into the market. Today's speculative
favorites Included some of the substantial
standard stocks, but the character of their
movement was not different from' that
which has occurred in other less Influ
ential securities. News to account for the
movement was lacklnr hut thra ... 11,.
usual circulation of tips to herald the !
movement and closely following this tho t
outbreak of organized activity in the deslg--'
naud stocks. The operation of organised
speculative parties could not be more
clearly Indicated. A feature attracting
niuch attention ia the very large buying
abroad of what are called American prlv- ,
lieges. Purchasers of calls for American :
stocks In London prompt the purchase of
stocks here as part security for tho sellers
of these privileges. Rut the purchase of
these calls. It is pointed out, may be desig
nated as an Insurance on the part of local
speculative holders who desire to lighten
their holdings during the remaining period
of money uncertainty.
While call loans were made at lower
rates on the Stock exchange today It Is
realised in all quarters that the period of
money uncertainty Is not vet past. Time
loans for short peiiods continue to command
a premium In the shape of premiums which
raised the net cost to 7 or 8 per cent. The
weekly statements of the. great foreign
batiks published today showed no Improve
ment In money conditions abroad. Foreign
exchange here, however, was little affected.
The persistent liquidation in the Rock
Island stocks had a disturbing effect on
sentiment and the unresponsiveness of tho
United States Steel stocks to the brilliant
showing of trade conditions was a disap
pointment. An attentive eye was kept upon
the proceedings of the United Mine Work
ers convention. The decided break In
prices in the last hour was not overcome

CATTLE There waa a moderate run of
cattle on the market this morning, 225 cars
about 6.500 head, being reported in up to
noon. The receipta were a little larger than
for the same day last week and als..
by about 1,000 head than the run for the
corresponding day last year. Trains were
behind time again this morning, so that a
great many of the cattle did not reach the
pens until late.
The supply of beef steers waa rather lim
ited and the quality of the offerings was
a a gtjnemi miiig noi very good, uuyers
wera out early with a bunch of orders, but
they were wanting mostly the srood rhoie.
cattle, which were very scarce. However,
generally penning, tne market on beef
cattle waa moderately active and prac
tically ateady.
Titers were about fifty rara of cows snt
heifers on the market and there were out
of this number only a few loads of good
choice stock. Packers were evidently
wanting a supply of this kind of cattle, but
were not raring for the common . stuff.
However, the market on cows and heifers
was generally steady on the better srradea
while tho common kinds wera inclined to
sell weak.
There was a good-sized run of stacker
and feeders on the market again today.
Aa haa been tha case for the last week the
majority of tha receipta consisted of this
kind bf cattle, and although there has been
a tairiy good demand lor feeding cattle on
the part of country buyers still the yards
sra full of cattle of that desorlutlon. ft nee.
u la tors bought very freely the first of tlia
week, evidently under the Impression thil
there would be an active country demand,
and they paid ery strong prices. There
proved to I a fair country demand, as ex-
pecteo, dui tne came aepi coming in so
fast that speculators could not unload, and
the market haa been borne down by Its own
wcignt. ine result is mat today tha very
best cattle, such ss sell at 64 or better,
are all of 10i(lfc lower, while the general
run of fair to medium kinds are 36c lower
and common kinds Vbij'Mc lower than Mon
day. It would look aa if this would b a
good time tor country buyers to put In an
appearance.

HOQS There fti a literal run of hogs
on the market this morning. 170 cars, about
11.600 head, being reported In. The receipts
are larger than for the same day last week
by about 8.000 head and are also larger
than the receipts for the same day one
years ago by about 1.60O head. The run
today was somewhst largrr than waa ex
pected. Influenced by the lllieral run and
early reporta of large runs with slow trad
ing and the market In poor shnpe at the
other points, buyers began bidding Mt!o"
lower. Sellers were not willing to let go at
that decline and held on pretty well, with
the result that trading was very dull and
uninteresting. In fact, there was practicnllv
no trading at all. Later the market firmed
up and unite a bit of the stock was soM
mostly 2Vuc lower. The long string of
hoga was so!d around I4-Va4 86. .
against 4.R7'ifi4.o yesterday. The top load
brought 84. 96. The market closed rather
slow at the decline.

SHEEP The receipts of sheep and lambs
were very light this morning, there being
only eleven cars reported in when the
market opened. This was practically thu
same as the run one week ago, but Ughtei
tlinn a year ago by eight cars.
The market aa a whole was In good, lieul
thy condition that is, tho receipts were
light in the face of a good demand, with
the result that buyers went after the of
ferings In a hurry, cleaning up everything
In sight at an early hour in the morning.
Desirable fat lambs sold at good, ateady
prices, but could hardly be quoted as any
higher. Good, fat sheep were strong, and
In some cases us much as 10c higher, in
fact one hunch of the same stuff here
yesterday brought ,10c more.
There wera no rrange feedera here to
speak of and not many of any kind, but
the demand Is constant and recelvera of
desirable kinds have no trouble in unload
ing at good, steady prices.
The only sheep or lambs that moved
alowly this morning were such as could
not be called cither good feedera or good
killers, that Is the between kind of stuff
that waa neither one thing nor the other.
It ia tha biggest kind of a mistake for
any feder to ship aheep or lambs that are
not well 'finished and ripe for market.
Prlcea for fat grades are high and pros
pects are good for their continuing that
way If feeders will not break the market
by sending In Immature stock.
Quotations on fat aheep and lambs: Good
to choice fed lambs, 37.257.50; good to
choice range lninbs, $7.00477.30; good to
choice yearling wethers, $t'.00tfi).5O; good
to choice old- wethers, $5.d?j6.80; good to
