This conllrms famine statement of Dr. Dil lon, St. Petersburg correspondent of the New York Dully Telegraph. There Is no Improvement In the ear situa tion: the railroads are In bad shape. It Is relieved Chicago receipts will be lighter after the December option Is out of the way. The Von Dorn Grain company, through Pringle, Fitch & Rankin, received new from Argentina saying the harvest has been delayed by rains in many parts. According to the Tribune a Chicago com mission house has sent out the following: 'We are of the opinion speculation will make Its appearance In grains after Janu ary 1. Stocks in New fc'ork and Roaton have held the stage for a good many months. The money situation, as we see. it, will tend to restrict operations In this district, as it seems unlikely rates win reacn a normal basis within sixty oays. Wheat, corn and oats have been neglected. and to our mind should be watched closely, as conditions the world over are such as to warrant a material advance all along tho line." Omaha Cash Sales.

NEW YORK, rec. 1.-The Inst d .fy o' the leaders, however, gave the market good supiiort and prices soon mado. a substantial advance. Later the buying became more general because of Increasing outbreaks reported In Russia, it being believed that the sltUHtlon there will eventually lead to a great curtailment of shipments of wheat and other grains. Further advices from Argentina confirming previous re ports of damage to the wheat crop by lalns also lent strength to the market. An lOngllsh statistician estimated the world's shipments for the week at H.OOO.tM) bushels g.ilnst ll.ono.om bushels for the corre sponding crop a week ago. This was an other feature which Induced buying. The market closed firm. May opened a shade to ,c lower at 87jo to S'qSTV. advanced to sd-Sc and closed at 87V(i8!c.

The abs rpuve power of the market, however, proved gnd and the realising was effected without ma terial riainmre to prices. There was somo decidedly feverish movements In the closing dealings, when hasty throwing over of hold ings caused a number of rapid declir.es, followed In some cases by rapid recoveries. The range in Amalgamated Copper ard Anaconda was especlnlly wide nnd rapid. T he ImmedUte outlook in the money imir ket remains obscured. The greatest re liance Is placed for earlv relief from strin gency on the disbursement of the dividend and Interest due. for the payment of which great 'unrts have been accumulated. The severity of this week's stringency Is st tributed principally to this preparation.

A decline of 8c a bushel from the closing figures of yesterday marked the end of the dealings of December corn. The selling was in small lots and trans actions were from l!2e apart. The close was at the lowest of the day. December old opened Htilc lower at tinMc. dropped to 44c within the first hour nnd then con tinued to sag until the close, which was at 4-'c. New December opened at 44'd and closed with a net loss of Sftlc. Future deliveries were not affected by the slump In the December option. May being steady from start to finish. May opened a shade to Vjfric lower at 44V 44 sold up to 44Hc and closed nt 4l'-4'ft44V. Local re ceipts were dtl cars with lo4 cars of con tract grade. I'rgent demand by shorts caused a sharp bulge In the price of oats for December delivery. The prices for that option was bid up from 32'tc the opening quotation, to 36o before any quantity was offered for sale. At that price, however, many of the longs took profits, which brought about a quick reaction. Closing quotations were at lUV. the lowest point of the day. Other deliveries were steady.

The holiday season and the weather conditions, coupled wit.i a plentiful supply of game and pou.try has cut the demand for meats. There have been but few leeders on the market this week and these few sold readily at steady prices. The range season is over and the only kind to be nad from now on will be warmed-up unfinished stuff coming from the corn Holds that urc not good enough for the packers.

The run was also u tiille smaller for the b. ime week one year ago. Ti.eic has been considerable warmed-up or short-fed and common cattle on the market, with only a few loads of really good to choice long fed stock. The market for cattle has been In de cidedly unsatisfactory shape all week and the trend of prices has been lower from start to finish. Monday was a holiday and no trading was done on that day, and this, combined with the holiday season, has cut tho supply down. The mild weather conditions, coupled with tile generous sup ply of game and poultry to bo had, has cut down the demand for fresh meat, with the result that packers have not been wanting much of a supply of beef cattle. Then, too, the quality 01' the offerings has been quite common all through the week. Fortunately, while the demand has been small, the supply has also been rather ltgut, with the result that prlcss have not slumped as much as they might have, had there been u liberal run. Packers have been decidedly bearish at all times, so that the week closes with prices on beef st era lc.'y25c lower for tho week. The market on cows and heifers has been in lust about the en 1110 condition as the beef sieer trade. The run has been light, also the demand. The quality of the ofter iius consisted lui'Kciy of warmed-up and common cattle most of the time. Packers appeared to have ubout all this kind of slock that they curtd for and forced prices down some, but not to the same extent ss 011 beeves. Trading has been duil and draggy at a decline of l(V(i6C Tlit market on stockers and feeders has been In a llitle better condition. There haa l.e- 11 n. moderate supply and the quality of the offerings has been pretty fair. There bus been a good demand for any good to choice Mockers and feeders and the week closes with an advance shown. Tne mar ket on this kind of cattle has really been in a good healthy condition all week and the close today Indicates that this Kind of stuff is strong to a dime higher than last week's close. liOHS 1 oere was a moderate tun of hoa un the market this morning, lu2 cars, about 7.("0 head being reported In up to noon. The receipts for the week totul "about 39.034 head, which la smaller than lust week by about 22.S72 head, while un the other hand this week's run Is larger than tor the corresponding week lust year by about 9,941 head. The receipts todaV are smuller than last Saturday by 1.200 head and also smaller than for the same day one year aco by about 3.0iO head. Trading tills morning opened brisk and active with prices generally a dime higher. Later the market eased off a little and trading was somewhat dull. Good choice heavyweight hogs, however, were given the preference over light stuff. Some light weight hogs sold at prices that were hardly more than steady with yesterday. Generally speaking the market was 6'alOc higher than yester day. The bulk of the stock brought in the neighberhood of $5.07Vo012. The top price paid for prime heavyweights was f.i.17. The average price of the lioga today Is the highest for any day this month. The murket has been In a good healthy condi tion all this week and there haa been an I aavance 01 aooui i"c u'fr iai weea s rjose. I Monday was a holiday and '1 uesday saw . an advance while there was a decline the 1 next two days followed with another ad vance on Friday and Saturday.
