December closed at 46'c, old December at 4c, May ati44'c aiid July at 44c. rxoit inquiry la falling off, though at Liverpool there waa a better feeling toward American corn today. Argentina, shipments are lighter, while American clearance the last two daya have been otioi inous. The wheat market waa unusually dull. The openin waa lower on favorab.e repoits from Argentina. There waa a subsequent Advance to Ke above yesterday, ani a later reaction which brought prii.es back to yesterday's clone. May tlnlKhed at 880, July at 84c, and liecember at 8uc. The outa market reilec.ed the strength lq corn. December closed at AHo, May at iV4'9JSc, and July at 30u31c. Clearances were 837,0U bunuels of wheat, 170.io buanels of corn, 211.U00 bushels of nats and 7,ii barrels of flour. Primary wheat receipts were 90,000 bushels and shipment s i.f, bushels, against receipts laat year of 729.000 bnshela and shipments of 279, bushels, Primary corn receipts were kXl.Oflv bushels and shipments 407, 010 hushela, against receipts laat year of 62o.0u0 bushels and anipmenia of 631.HUO buahels. Uradstreet's weekly clearances of wheat were 4.60u,ouO bushels. Liverpool closed id lower to d higher on wheal and d higher on corn. Broomhall'a weekly Argentina cable says 'he wiieLt market is steady In tone, with a amall demand. Arrivals from the Interior nro amall and the quality satisfactory. f.teports from the Interior state there lias teen alight damnge to the wheat crop. In llstrlcta where wneat waa aown late rains lave been beneficial. Corn prospects con tinue to show Improvement. According to a message from tha north west, trie elevator men In soutnern Minne sota who have for years had contracts with Minneapolis mills to furnish them with wneat each day at the market price, are unable to snip tnelr usual supplies. A letter from Jamestown, N. D., says there Is not over 'a per cent of the wneat crop left In tha farmers' hands. Argentina wheat shipments last week were 1,136,000 bushels, against 1,240.000 bush els the previous week and SW.uw buanuls last year, t'orn Hhipments were Oij.tM) bushels bushels last week, against Pol.nOO bushels the week before and 2.,l90OO bush els last year. Indian .uat shipments are unofficially reported at I,l60,0u0 bushels, against 1,048,000 bushels last year. Watson of Minneapolis says: "Any one who will take the trouble to look at the wheat situation by states will soon learn that all suggestions of the last crop re ports of 6,Mj,Mirt.'Jirt to 6ao.inono bushels are fully 60.0U),0uO bushels too high. California, Texas and Oklahoma arc away below tha government figures. Nebraska did not have what the government says within several million bushels, Puget sound Is under the government estimate and so is the north west. Besides It Is very doubtful If over 60,000,000 bushels were carried over from last year." Omaha fash Kales.

CinCAGO, Dec. 15. Unusual dullness ex isted In the grain Pits today and prices fluctuated within a narrow range. At th close May wheat was unchanged from the final quotation of yesterday. Corn wiis ' up to V4i6V5. Oats were up HUc. Tro- 1 visions were practically unchanged. I Without an Item of newa tnat would stimulate action for either bulls or beara, the wheat market dragged through the . day, prices bWsg confined within a rnnge of Vic Sentiment was inclined to he bear ish, but small demand by leading bulla was sufficient to hold the sellers In check. A message from an English crop statistician claimed that the wheat crop of Argentina la In good condition and that whilo some damage had been done by ralna the lata aown wheat had benefited by the moisture. Weather In tha northwest was favorable for the movement of the crop, but despite thla fact arrivals at Minneapolis and 1 Mi- luth were less than for the corresponding day of last week or of laat year. Primary receipts were 690.0U0 buahels, against 7JI,0u0 bushels one year ago. The market w.is stearty at the close. Miy opened a shads 10 hc lower at 8He to m4M"c, sold br. tween KSSijic and 89Sc and closed at 8Te. Clearancea of wheat and flour were, equal to 244.000 bushels. Exports for the week, as shown by Brsdstreets, wcreequal to 4.436.000 bushels. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 607 cars, against 564 cars last week and 681 cars una year ago. The corn market waa firm, although tha volume of business was exceedingly small. A feature of trading was the buying of liecember by shorts, and the demand for thla option tended to strengthen the pries j of other deliveries. Weather was faror- , able for the movement of the new crop, I but arrivals at Chicago showed only a small Increase. ' Tha market closed firm with prices at the highest point of the ; day. Miy Opened at 44't644'c, advanced to 444c and clnae.1 at the highest point. Local recelpta wers 4M cars, with two of , contract grade. I Because of small offerings sentiment In the oats pit was slightly bullish. Commls ion houses and rash intereats were fair buyers and there was some profit-taking by local holders. May opened a trifle higher at 3JH'u32c, sold up to 32Sc and closed at 1 32V'3-'H?. I-ocal receipts were 165 cars. I Local packers gave some support to the provisions market and consequently tha feeling In the pit was steady. Prices wers Influenced by a strong market for live hogs.

TRADING IS THE DULLEST OF THE WEEK Late In tha Day Valaea Rise SllKhtly, bat there la a Derided lark la Aalanatloa aa Variety. NEW- YORK, Dec. 15. - The wava of profit-taking sales which swept the late stock msraet yesterday was carried over Into the early dealings today, and during the first hour of the trading prleea ranged considerably below last night. The course of the selling had spent Itself by that time and there were recoveries and later some resumption of the aggressive bidding up of prices. The market was the dullest of the week, however, and waa decidedly lacking in animation and variety. ne forecast or the bank statement gave promise of an improved condition to be reflected tomorrow. But this has been the factor in the strength In the market all through the week, and today sentiment was inclined to a forward cast to factore beyond. The call money market rate waa aimer and revealed the fact that any re. sources added to the bank holdings during the week had been fully availed of. The movement towards New York from do- mestlc centers seems to have been heavv. and It Is estimated to have been sufficient to yield a gain of cash In the neighbor hood of $5.ftO.00A after allowing for tha loss of S1.176.M10 on the week's sub treasury operations. Payment was also begun today of the anticipated January 1 government Interest, which amounts in the aggregate to some $4.1.00,000, but which is arrume 10 some M.i.w.O'u, nui wnicn H expected to yield not more than SS.nriO.OiO directly to the New York money market, Furthermore the dividend of $10 per share on Standard Oil stock waa payable today, calling for the disbursement of $10.0OO,d0. The fact that call money was higher again In spite of these sources of recuperation was attributed to the approach of the year end period, with lta large requirements, and especially to the marked develop ments In foreign markets. The open market discount rate In Lon don rose abruptly to about the bank rate In response to the measures of the Bank of England, including borrowing from the market and the raising of Its actual lend ing rate. The price of gold was also ad vanced. There were more withdrawals of gold from the bank for South America with a large further demand Indicated for the same destination and with an expected arrival of $2,fl(0,0() in gold on Monday se cured for Paris. .The sterling rate at Ber lin also continued to decline. The result of these developments was of for-reaohlng effect In ail the world s money market. Our own foreign exchange market ad vanced in spite of a rise In the money rates. In spite, also, of the improvement In the November balance of trade In our favor, the excess of mercantile exports over Imports for the month having risen to $71,677,630 as compared with $62 W. 485 in November of lust year. Corn exports for the week rose 1,000,000 bushels over those of last week. The effect of the strong financial show ing made in the Southern Paclllc annual report was somewhat modified upon the minds of the speculative holders who had looked to dividend prospects, by the stress laid upon the Importance of holding the resources of the company In reserve pend ing the effect of nggT-cssive building 0 competitive lines. The eflect of the Rock Island meeting was also regarded with some apprehension, as the belief was quite general that the dividend on the preferred stock would be passed. The market became extremely Irregular In tho latter part Vif the day and closed with movements much confused, but with best prices consldern hly reduced. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,615 ooo. I'nlted States bonds were all unchanged on call. Following were the sales and range of prices on the Stock exchange today: Bates. mgn.Lrfw..:inse.

The general quality of the offerings was common, with only a few scattering loads of good choice beef steers In sight. Trading on beeves was slow and rather uninteresting, with prices practically steady on the better gTade of stock. The common and medium kinds of cattle were inclined to go a little easier. There was a fairly good supply of cows and heifers on the market, with the quulity of the offerings rather common. As was the case with beef steers the market on cowa and heifers waa also rather clow anil uninteresting. Stock was late In getting into the yards so that the forenoon was pretty well gone before there was much trading done. Generally speaking the mar- ket on this kind of cattle was steady to a little lower. The supply of feedera on the market thla morning waa a little more moderate than has been the case for the last week and tradlr.g improved some.
