CHICAGO, Dee. 11 Selling Of larg quantities of wheat by one of the leading longs caused weakness today in the local wheat market. At the close wheat for May delivery was off V(&Sc. Corn wss down c, Oats showed a loea of c. Provisions were unchanged to 60 lower. The wheat market was weak all day be cve cf sales of between 1,000,000 bu. and 4M;,ono bu, of May wheat by a prominent operator. These liberal sales induced many of the pit traders to Join In ths selling movement. Most of the offerings were taken by commission housva and a large portion of the purchases were for north western houses. A report of aoceptances of winter wheat from pointa In Illonls on over-night bids waa a bearish factor, but outside of that there was little In the news cf the day to cause any decided weakness. Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis and Du luth were considerably less than for the corresponding day last year, the total prl mury receipts being 20 per cent less than a year ago. The market closed weak wlth prices at the lowest point of the day, Msy opened a shade lower at 79c and sold off to 7Ho, wtxre It closed. Clearances of wheat and flcur were equal to 508.200 bu. Primary receipts were 701i.00 bu. compared with 846, 0(u bu. the corresponding day a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported recelpta of 415 care, against 557 care last wee and 702 cars a year ago. The coin market was weakened by se4Hn by caah houses brought out by reports of an Increased movement from Iowa, Illinola and Nebraska. The Missouri report, which made the. total crop of the state 40.0tio.000 bu. In exoess of the yield estimated by govern ment experts, was also a weakening In fluence. The decline In wheat prices had some effect. The market closed weak.

With the reaction In the market there win some shrinkage In the rate of activity from that of yesterday. There has been no actual employment of the funds Included In the treasury's offers yesterday, ns none of It hns come Into possession of the bnnka, owing to the dc lava In securing and acceptance of born! for security for deposits and the formali ties required to sell United States 4 pir cents under the treasurv plan. The lib eral offerings of funds yesterday were thus to some extent a use of the expected In crease In ressurcea before they were In hand. This disposition on the part of active speculators to lick up fund as fast as available comes In for Its share of criticism. It Is also true, however, that the sentimental effect of the action of the treasury authorities waa to renllie sums which had been held out of the money markrt for higher ratea and which waa thus brought out. It waa new requlrementa that stiffened up the rate again t,day. The practice of holding funds out of the market for higher rates Is one of the counts In the Indictment that the discus, slon amongst stock brokers Is making ngalnst the banks to account for the ex cessive call loan rates recently prevalent. 1 nia discussion continues act ve in the. financial district, with accusations on the one hand of manipulation and usurious merest rnarjes tnci witn explanation ana defense from the brokers. The Inrge loans placed here for account of banks outside the c tv usually Involve a dlsn acement of a loan by a New York bank, as the outside bank draws on Its deposit here or Instructs Its correspondent bank here 10 piace me loan at the higher level, this Is given the blame for pnrt of the dls. turbance In the monev market bv some of the hankers, and there has been an effort to secure concerted action amongst clearing house members to regulate this lending money for account of out of town banks. It Is the assumption that the com. pensatlon to the local banks for placing sucn loans is in the rorm or a commission which would add, however, to the burden of the borrower. Reports were received In Wall street today that some of the In terior banks were disinclined to accept the preferred government deposits. The short time fixed for their being held and the difficulty of securing bonds for col lateral were offered as an explanation of thla attitude, but it aerved to create an Impression that the eagerness for addi tional money resources waa not aa acute away from New York as here. Prepara tion for the 810,000,000 Standard Oil dividend on Saturday and of 8.10.(o,0Of subscriptions to New York Central stock on Mondav were said to be under way today, requir ing some large calling of loans, with re. suiting recovery In the money rate. The long expected announcement of sub. scrlptlon r'ghts to new Great Northern preferred atock and the quotation for the rights In the outside market was followed by a violent decline In that stock, which chilled speculative enthusiasm over other expected developments. The Increase In the Pittsburg, Cleveland. Chicago & St. Iouls dividend Was without Influence on any stock. The money marketa were harder In London, Paris and Rrrltn today, but foreign exchange rates here reacted In response to our own stronger money market. There was considerable Increase of selling pressure on stocks late In the day and the closing tone Was easy at gen eral declines. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, 82,092,000.

As will be noted from the table at the head of column, re relpts of cattle thla week have been run ning considerably heavier than last week or than a year ago. Yesterday for the first time there were some prime Christmas cattle on sale, but the bulk of the receipts this week has been made up of medium to fair kinds of half-fat stuff. This morning It was evident that packers were still In need of some good cattle and they were free buyers of that kind, for which they seemed willing to pay fully steady prices. In fact, sellers generally re ported their good beef steers as steady with yesterday. On the other hand, the common to medium warmed up kinds were slow and dull from start to finish, with prices anywhere from weak to as much aa 10c lower In extreme cases. Good cows and helfera were alao In quite active demand. They, too, sold freely at steady prices. Sellers, however, who had stock that was not strictly good reported the trade slow with salea weak to lOo lower. The best feeders sold In about the same notches as yesterday and were In fair de mand, as has been the case moat every day of late. Inferior grades were rather slow, owing to there being quite a good many on ale. Representative sales: BEEF STEERb. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr.

In fact, they have been liberal all the week. In spite of the fact that the attention of ahlppers haa been called to the lack of demand for half-fat sheep and lambs every day In these col umns, while circulars sent out by commis sion men have contained cautions along me same line, still shippers have been send ing In far too many that were not suffi ciently finished to meet the requirements of packers at this time of the year. The demand for fair to pretty decent kind? of minions is never very good. Juat previous to the holidays. At this season of the year there Is always a good demand for a fair number of strictly good to choice sheep and Iambi for the Christmas trade. While quite a good many very desirable muttons have been arriving the large sup ply of other grades has more than aatiHtit'd Iackara. Thus with over fifty cara In aight mis morning it was very evident right from th first that there were too manv on sale. The result was tiiat the market opened very slow and weak. Borne little stuff that Juat happened to meet the requirements of some buer sold pretty close to steady, but aside from that the general market was right at log 15c lower than yesterday. The decline seems to . dus entirely to large receipts, especially . f the medium to pretty fair kinds. The only thing for ship pers to do Is to let up a little for a few days, thus glvlngpacker an opportunity to clean up their mirplus.
