From the Inter Ocean: "The holiday dull ness has settled over the trade earlier than usual, and there la an indiapositlon on the part of most of the large operators to go alow until the December la out of the way. There la a falr-alsed open Interest In this mouth, and It la dlflVult to execute orders owing to the light trade. The Armour in terest controls the contract stocks, which are alight ly over .Yflf).im bushels, and will evidently merchandise it this winter. It Is believed to he hedged for May and it la not pressing on the market." Omaha f'aali Salea. WIIEAT-No. 2 hard. 1 car, TSV hard, 1 car, TUc; 1 car, 76c; No. 4 car, 7&c; 1 car. 74c: bulkhead.

CHICAGO I.H1 M PRIM ll Featarea of the Trading ami ('Inalns Prirra on Ilnard of Trade. 'HlCAfiO, Deo. IS -The difficulties of ttirre hxal financial Institution caused a Weak close In the hMl market here todav. Other Influences contributing to thi result were largo prlmarv tcceipta and a liberal Increase In tin? available stock. At the close May wheat Was (iff 4c I -nrn H down 4'iV. Onts showed a loss of V Provisions wtrn lyoTV higher. During thp flrat hour thp wheat market was leuisrkahly Hrin considering the un easiness In financial circles following the suspension of tho Walsh hanks. The llrm neaa n largely the result of the bullish character of the weeklv statistics World s shipments for the week were nearly 4.oai..in "lan for the previous week nnd a large jx reentage of the decrease whs recorded in the Russian exports. In addition to this tho amount of breadstuff on ocean pas sage decreased 4.5f-.' till, for the week. After opening a shad! lower to a shade higher at 77c to 8c the price of the May option was bid up to sK,c- At this point Wheat broke badly at Minneapolis and St. Ixiuls, the decline being du. It is said, to the bank situation In Chicago. Th"re was heavy selling on order from these two grain centers. This brought out free selling oy the loca tralers. As tirlccs declined stop loss orders increased the pressure and the weakness became more pronounced. An increaae or 4,l.'4,i bu. In the visitue bui- i i'iy exenea a nearisn innuence on im market, an Increase of only 3."no,oi) bu. having been expected. Another factor bringing on the decline waa the large pri mary recelpta, which were 1.342,Ot bu., com pared with l.iG4.io bu. a year ago. I mler these Influences May declined to 7'c. I'art of the lose was regained on covering by shorts, but the close was weak with May at 87-S'&7,tC. Clearances of wheat and flour were equnl to .HM.OTt bu. Minne apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 879 cars against M0 cara lost week and 7S1 cars a year ago. Increased receipts and the weaktv'sa of wheat hud a depressing effect on the corn market. Fit traders and commission houses were the chief sellers. The close was easy. May opened unchanged totVe lower at Vt'p 44V, sold between 44c and 44V and closed at 4IV- Local receipts were 74ti cara with ( cara of contract grade. Several prominent commission houses were active sellers of oats today nnd the market was Inclined to lie weak. The break In wheat waa the chief factor, al though Increased receipts had considerable effect. The market closed at about the lowest point of the day. May opened un changed to a shade higher at 32Vi32V to Sl'V. "old off to 31V and closed ut 81T.W 32c. Iocal receipts were 345 cars. Notwithstanding the weakness of grain the provisions market was firm throughout the day. Offerings were small and sta tistics favorable to the bulls. The move ment of packing house products whs said to be very heavy. Packers were the prin cipal bidders. At tho cIohb May pork was up 7V at II3.22H l.i'd and ribs were each up 2V at $7.3"ti'J 324 and $7.15 respectively. Kstlmated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 37 enrs; corn, CU4 cars; oats, 345 cars; hogs, 36.000 head. The leading future ranged as follows: Articles. Wheat Iec. May July Corn five. J Dec.

HOLDINGS UNLOADED AT LOW FIGUHES Ia le Aaerfed by Prompt prf ollri and of the l.uaa la H fdifrnl. Support I'art NEW YORK, lec. H. The news from Chicago tills morning practically wiped the stock market slate clean and gave a new busla to atart from. The iallure of three Important banking Institutions In Chicago j mm- m a loiai surprise 10 hii street so far ns uny previous deelopmcnt had Indicated. Tho stock market was thrown iruo a spasm of fright and the appearance of the market at the opening sutflclently indicated the determination of alarmed hoidets to pet rid of tiieir slocks at any price. Various orders to sell l,iAf-shate blocks of Amalgamated Copper came to getticr to an agxtcgaie of over 10, W Bhares, part of them oemg sold at I1"' and others simultaneously all the way down to 03. This was the extreme example of the effect of the news on the Stock exchange. although tlu r were ery wide openings on running sales In L'ldon Facltic, Brooklyn I'tansil, St. 1'miI and oilier imrtanl stocas at severe losses. In the curb market l nitcd Copper, in which the speculation has been very active recently, sold at ft then abruptly slumped to if. These disastrous effects In prices were due In a large meas ure to the extremely heavy stop loss orders which honeycombed the market Ht a level slightly below Kuturday s closing. The orders in such cases are to sell stocks at any price In the event of the maraet falling to a given point and the resulting avalanche Is sure to gain speculative force. This being the case, il was perceived that prompt measures were reijulred to avert a panic . Enormous support was accorded the market ami the demoralized sentiment thus alleviated. There was a secondary wave of liquidation mado up in part of belated orders in the market by outsiders and In pail by those who were able to withhold their felling during the opening period when there was practically no demand. The market ebbed and flowed over a lesser range during the latter part of the day, but the principal liquidation seemed lo have spent Its force and the most damaging part of t lie louses was recovered. It was evident that the aggravated effect produced by the Incident was largely due to the overextended condition of specula tion. Successful beculators have been re investing their prolits in new purchases of some. 01 the very volatile stocks, which makes 11 Very insecure condition In the market. During the latter pari of last Week some misgivings began lo be perci p tiblo already over the conditions resiililng from some of the most violent specula tion. This added to iho vulnerability of tiic market. As to the Immediate financial conse quences of the Chicago mishap the prompt measures taken by the Chicago clearing house nnd tho Insurance against loss of the depositors of the banks gave strong hopes that the consequences would be localised and restricted. There was nothing to show that any New t ork Interests were nrfecteu. The stock market view uf the affair was founded more upon the possible effects of the failures upon general business con fidence and the standing of credits. Cred its are heavily vxpended and bank re serves are low and the lierslstency with which the consequences of tho state of affairs are Ignored, especially the high rates for money, la due to the universal confidence in the soundness of these out standing credits. Tho shock now given to confidence urouses a dread tliHt some con traction of credits will be forced and the extension of enterprise hampered by a sus picion of the soundness of the business fabric. Money continued strong in this market, but eased off later in the day In spite or remittances to Chicago. Foreign exchange was also strong for remittance by the last steamer avullable for end-year payments abroad. ttonds were iienvy. Total sales, par value. $3,210,11110.

Prices were in practically the same notches as at the close of last week. The supply of cows and heifers on the market tills morning was of moderate pro portions. As was the case with the steers the quality of the offering was only fair. There was a fair demand for cow stuff, but buyers were backward in taking hold, with the result that the movement of the stock was decidedly slow. Prices were generally weak nnd lower. The large portion of the receipts this morning consisted of stockers and feeders. Thete were quite a number or country buy ers in. lrnning was steady to strong. slow, with prices Representative sales: BEEF STEERS No. Av. Pr. c.

The run is a trifle smaller than for the same day last week, but on the other band it Is about 90j head larger than for the corresponding day lust year. The market opened with prices In most cases a nickel higher than Saturday s close. Trading al the opening was rather slow; later, however. It hecame a little more ac. tlve, but at no time could It l call.-d par ticularly active. There were no special fea tures to the market. Receipts were hardly up to expectations, which, fact, coupled with the wants of the packers, aided In forcing prices up. Good choice heavyweight hogs were given the preference all during the day and a few loads of this kind sold earlv for $4 .85. the top The bulk of the offerings brought $4 Su1j4 824.
