If the activity of spec 11 lntlve interests In the latter city and adjacent points are any criterion the Inci dent seems to have left no weuk spot In the technical position of the market. Events which guided the list In one direc tion or the other iacluded easy money on time and call, a further decline In ex change and vague warnings of financial disaster which emanated from a familiar New Kngland source. The moat noteworthy feature of the early trading, and. Indeed of the day. Was I'nlon 1'atlllc, which scored a new high record on a very heavy volume of busi ness. There was more talk of buying of the stock "for control." but this was simply a variant of the many rumora heard In unofficial quarters. The concur rent strength of the Hill railway share furnished additional footing for specula tive gossip and predictions of a readjust ment of the railway situation In the west and northwest. Thnt some deal of great proportions involving tho Hill and ifarrl m;n properties is under way Is the firm conviction of those who buy and sell securi ties, but any definite Information on this point is probably a long way off. In marked contrast to the atrength of I'nlon Puclllc was th? weakness of Southern Pacific.

WHEAT Mar- (HICAUO mAI AXU PI0lflO9 I'ealnres of the Tradlotc and Closlug Prices on Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Dec.-J. Liberal primary re ceipts and a break in the pi icy of corn were Influential factors contributing to a weak wheat market here today. At tho close wheat for May delivery waa oft HIP 4r, corn waa down and oats showed a loss of tSHc Provisions were from 7Vc to 12V lower. The wheat market was weak throughout the entire day. Early In tho session prices were weak on reports of declines In the northwestern .markets. The . fuilure .of. Liverpool to respond to the advance on tho local board yesterday was an Important factor. Many local traders who covered hort line on the upturn of yesterday put out new short line today and there was for a time small response from the bulls. The nlump In corn also caused selling. Heavy primary receipts of 623,000 bu., as against 648,0110 bu. for the corresponding day of last year, also encouraged the bears. During the last half hour commission houses bought actively and there was a decided Improvement in the demand. This resulted In a recovery of n large portion of the loss recorded early in the duy. The market closed easy. May opened Vi'flSo lower at 8KVnlwyp. sold up to 8sc and decllped to 87,c. Final quotations were at KSijUo-v,c. Clearances of wheat nd flour were equal to 3tV"A bu. Minneapolis, li luth and Chicago reported receipts of t"2 cars, against 702 last week and &35 a eat ago. 1 4,4 Reports of a "corner" In December, which were numerous early In the day, caused firmness In the corn market. Toward the middle of the day general liquidation brought about a sharp break. The selling was Induced by a report that a quantity of No. I corn had been purchased tor the Furpose of delivering at a penally on tecember contracts. The close was weak. Mav opened a shade to He lower at 44lVe. to 44(K)1c. sold up to 44v and then declined to 44'i44lc. Final quotations were at 44Lc. Local receipt were 2ti4 cars, with six of contract grade. The break In corn brought about exten sive profit-taking In oats, resulting in a weak market. Trading w is confined mainly to local dealers. wv opened unchanged to a shade lower at 3.'Vu3;'V' to 32V, oll down to 31Tc and closed at 317u'32c. I.octil receipts were 11a cars. Soiling by small packers had a weaken ing effect on the provisions market. The condition of the grain markets was one reason for the selling. Another bearish factor was the heavy receipts of live hogs. At the close May pork was off 124e at )13.n5. lard was down "V at $7.35 and ribs were 7Sc lower ut 17.20. Ratlmated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 24 ears: corn, 33 cars; oats, 146 curs; hogs, 36.0HO head. The leading futures ranged aa follows: ket steady; December. 78c 1 .May. WSjs; July. J'cc ,',nul.

The early advance took In practically all the granger and coal carriers, as well as the trunk line. In the Industrial group the metal stocks and Sugar were strong. London's attitudo towurd this market waa rather noncommltal, closing prices there for Americans being alKttit equally divided between gains and losses. letter London traded In uhout 30,000 shares here, buying chiefly of I'nlon Pacific and selling on balance. Sentiment was Inclined to be bearish and with tla usual caution Ijondon seemed disposed to reduce Its holdings over the approuchlng holidays. The bulk of the day s business was done In the early hours, trading falling off soon after midday, when the market became dull and more narrow, with the trend tuwnrd lower prices. This movement gathered its greatest force in the last half hour, when a revival of the rumors of bank troubles in New Knglan.l caused a Hury in call loans, which rose to IS per cent ami produced a flood of selling orders. Tho heavy offerings of stocks wiped out the early galrui In such Issues a Amalga mated Copper and American Smelting and Refining ond final prices were.
