OMAHA, Dec. 10. l6.
The weakness In wheat today seems to
have been the result of the action of the
inleichls which Isiught bids lieavily laot
inniit and Hold the wneat at the i.yi mug
una morning and were reported to he huy
;! on the Hot break to ov; of tne May.
I hei Was notnlng in the hews to wan ant

ot Items which should have given conll-

Liveipooi. wmle not materially changed,

excellent demand tor Manitoba wheat, not
wiliisiaiiijing too uulinesa, a ml Hn.ixj bush
els are miiu to have been woraed lo Fiance,
the hrst in a number of years.
The tendency ot .May corn to sympathize
with the weas.ness in wheat was checked
by the strength shown by the old Decem
ber, which advanced lo mi very ntiie buy
In tf. The current month Is congested,
and as there is little coin of the contract
grade., and but a short tloie to mane more,
the price si-ems laigoiy a iU.llon uf
whether holders net In harmony or not.
Oats were easier, selling in sympathy
with the weakness In wheat. The market
acted rather sluhiHun for the May aiound
bottom price and an extensive demand hum
commission houses developed.

against receipts last year of 9I8,ijo0 bushels
and shipments of 487,(oo bushels.
Liverpool closed unchanged to 4d higher
on wheat and unchanged to Ud lower on
corn.
Kroonihull had a cable from Argentina,
saying wheat harvest prospects are excel
lent. Corn proFM'cts cunt lime to Improve.
Hroomhall estimates world's ship Hi nts
of wheat for the week will be about 10,4(.
t'Kl bushels, ng.ilnst 12,752,000 bushels ,n. t
week and 8.840,011 bushels a year ago. There
will tie a fair decrease In the quantity on
passage.
Notwithstanding the heavy world's ship
ments and movement of home rrown
foreign wheat crops, l'.radstrcets make the
Increase of Europe nnd homo stocks Aug
ust 1 to December 1, only H.OOO.uiO bushels,
against 32.0OO.ooo bushels for the same
period last year. The Increase indicate,
unusually large consumption.
Says W. A. Gardner: 'World's exports
of wheat from July 1 to December 9 are
Hl.fmn.ouo bushels greater than the same
period a year ago. European stocks of
wheat from August 1 to December 1 h;ive
Increased 21,0w,'K) less than same period
a year ago. What's become of this 4J,
Amnj bushels wheat?"
From the Iecord-l lcrald : "The European
situation looks very strong, the domestic
Hlluallon Is about on nil rvrn keel, and on
the whole the outlook generally Is healthy
and promises higher prices for wheal, said
a local. If Kust.ian shipments drop down,
as they surely must, European buyers mu.it
ko i.o Argentina or come here ror supples.
The whole world Is waiting for Argentina
wheat. There is only about one week's ex
ports at our seaboard, and If the foreign
ers should come alter this our wheat mar
ket would surely run awuy from us." '

ROCK ISLAND IS A WEAK SPOT
ICxtcnalw Selling; on Intimation that
Dividend on Preferred Stock Will
He Passed Hank Statement
sntlafactor.
NEW YoRK, Dec. It!. There was consid
erable confusion in the price movement
during today s active stock market and
sentiment in speculative circles was con
siderably unsettled as the result. There
were sjiots of progi essive strength still,
principally amongst Industrial stocks and
some of the high grade rlalroads, of which
the floating supply is small, hi the other
hand, there was active liquidation manifest
at one or two points, notably in Southern
Pacific and in Rock Island and affiliated
stocks The ottlclal intimation that the
R ick Island preferred dividend was to be
suspended in January was the sufficient ex
planation of the weakness In the Rock
island shares. The heavy selling of South"
ern I'acllic was attributed to speculative
holders who had counted irpon early divi
dend payments on that stock and who
found cause for the abandonment of their
expectations in the annual report of the
stockholders.
in the body of the list there waa evi
dence of tree selling to take profits under
cover of the various points of strength. An
Incipient advance developed after the ap
pear. nice of the bank statement, but prices
subsequently weakened to the lowest and
I he closing w as Irregular and hot far from
the low level. The banks showed the re
i siablishment of a surplus In reserves
amounting to nearly $4,mvju. The improve
ment in ini'ir condition was principally due
to the scaling down of their deposits which
resulted In a loan contraction of $U,75ti.ttiO.
The cash increase of t3,12o,sho proved about
as expected. Yesterday's payments of Jan
uary 1 government interest and of im
portant dividends, including $10, (HO,' HO
Standard OH, disbursements will accrue to
the benefit of next week and figure In
next week's balance. A very heavy demand
had developed lor remittances to lndon
by next Wednesday's steamer which is
the last to reach Ijondon in time for the
time settlements. There are large amounts
of exchange bills maturing at this time
which were put out early in the period of
higher money to take advantage of the
profitable rate here. The possibility of gold
t'otng out next week Is under discussion.

Foreign Financial.
LONDON, Dec. 16. Money was In active
demand in the market today and supplies
were restricted. Discounts were rather dis
organized owing to the hardening of money
and bill brokers were cautious In view of
the uncertainties of the situation. Opera
tors on the Stock exchange were Idle snd
transactions were uninteresting. Consols
were quiet. Homo rails were featurelesa.
Americans opened steady and moved irreg
ularly on either side of parity. Union Pa
cific hardened. Southern railroad and Balti
more A Ohio eased. I'nited States Steel was
supported and Canadian Pacific. Improved.
I Stocks closed generally steady, coppers
! were depressed on the continued Russian
I unrest. Russian Imperial 4s closed at 794c
! Japanese were supported. Kaffirs were af
fected by the money situation. Rhodeslans
were dull owing to the decreased output for
November and Japanese 6s of 1904 were
quoted at 1024-
BERLIN. Dee. 16. Prices on the bourse
today were weak. Russian imperial 4s
closed at 78 and Russian bank shares at 120.
Most of the domestic shares sagged.
PARIS. Dec. 16 There was much depres
sion on the bourse today owing to the con
tinued uncertainty and fears regarding the
situation In Russia and the Moroccan sit
uation. Russians were particularly af
fected, imjierlnl 4s losing 3f 10c and Russian
bonds declining heavily since the laat quo
tation of Thursday. Toward the close there
was a slipht upward tendency, but prices
closed weak, though above the earlier fig
ures. Russian imperial 4s closed at 77.60 and
Russian bonds of 1904 at 464. French 3s
closed at 98f 724c The payment of the
French coupons accounts for part of the
decline in French 3s. The decline in Rus
sians is attributed to the events In the
Baltic provinces and the reported lament
able condition of the Russian army In Manchuria.

SHEEP There was only one car about
200 head of sheep received this morning
and that was consigned direct to a packer.
Hence theie was no market this morning.
There has been u moderate run of sheep
this week. 35.418 head being received, which
Is larger than the run last week by about
2.0011 head. The receipts for th week are
also lurgei than for tlm corresponding
S 74 1 week last vear by about 4. 500 head.
i 76 1 The general quality of the offerings of
fat klllina sheen has been a little better
than has been coming In lately. Good,
choice, fat stock, suitable for the Christ
mas trade, has been selling at good, strong
prices all week, while th common and
medium grades have been rather slow at
prices steady to easior. Generally speak
ing, however, the market on fat sheep Is
steady to strong for the week. Packers ap
pear to have been wanting some good,
choice medium-weight yearlings, and what
has been on the market rouna resuy mie
good, strong prices. Inmbs have been
lit ti a i,.w nil week hut fortunately,
the supply has been small. The week
closes with lambs steady, however.
There has been a fairly liberal supply of
feeding sheep on the market this week
and. while the trading on this kind of
sheep was rather active the fore part of
the week, the demand made by the coun
try buyers fell off a little. The quality of
the offerings has generally been fairly
good. Choice feeder sheep have found ready
sale at prices that were steady throughout
the week. However. It will bo well for
shippers to use a little caution In making
their shipments from now until after the
holidays. The demand, as is usually the
1 I case at this time of the year, will b a
4 1 little slack and all warmed-up or sbort
1 fed stork will have a hard time snd have
I to be disposed of nt a sacrifice. Generally
1 speaking, the market on feeders closes the
1 week with no quotable change in prices.

and feeders every day this week. Luring
the early part of the week speculators
figured that there would be a good demand
for this kind of cattle on the part of
country buyers and took up this stuff.
There was a good demand, but it was not
equal to the receipts, with the result that South Omaha
towards tne last 01 tne wees in lower moux 1 11 y .
division had more feeder cattle on hand Kansas City
than were wanted. Tiie inurket then ex- : St. Joseph ..

have declined 16'u25c with Ihe common
selling mostly 264360 off. .
HOGS There was a literal run of hogs
on the market today, 15o cars, about lo.uuO
head belna reported In up to noon. The
receipts for the week are also fairly liberal,
about 66.500 head being received, which Is
larger than lasl week by about 4.0UO head.
The receipts for the week are uUo larger
than for the same week last year by about
10 wO head. The hog market this morning
was In practically the same condition as
yesterday, sellers generally holding out for
steady lo stronger prices, with the buyers
bidding a flat nickel lower, lience there
was another deadlock today, with Mie re
sult that it was late In the forenoon be
fore there was any trading of consequence.
W hen ttadlng did finally oien ihe buyers
were getting the stock at prices that were
,n most cases a nickel lower than vester-
1 day's average. The long string of the hogs
1 brought $4.75t4.774. with a few loads sell
ing as lilgn as 14 su. mere were usa a
few loads of fairly good stock that sold
below $4-75. Generally speaking the market
was a nickel lower for the day.
Kor the week ths mat ket has been in
good condition snd jrt.es ss "otnpared
with the Chicago market have been high.
The last two days ha wltn-ssed a slump
with the result that the u.urkel doses with
