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. May

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.

CATTLE There was another liberal run
of cattle this morning, not far from 20
cars being reported In. 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.

SHEKP Receipts of aheep wero quite
larg thla morning. 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.
