Cui'l-i from Argentina said raina hnd fallen
in some parts of the country and t lie qual-
y vi new crop waa good. or Ira-
trtant nature waa scMrre today.
December corn waa firm early In the ses
nlon, but otherwise the market waa very
quiet, all months closing below yesterday,
in-nvenes on December contracts were
considerable, and the open Interest Is be
ing reduced rapidly. ReceKU "ere not as
large as expected, but ihlpments were
much less than a year ago. If care could
I secured there would be a better move
ment of corn.
Primary wheat receipts were 8n0,000 bush
els and shipments 273,i0 bushels, against
receipts last year of sd.OuO bushels arid
shipments of 2H6.000 bushels. Corn receipts
were 869.000 bushels and shipments 2OK.W0
bushels, against receipts last year of 1.121.
UX) bushels and shipments of 6fl,(xO bushels.
Clearances were Jsfi.out) bushels wheat, 114,
suo bushels corn, 20,760 bushels oata and
flour and wheat equal to 4i,ooo bushels.
Liverpool closed Vsd lower on wheat and
Unchanged on corn.
The Liverpool Corn association today
adopted a new contract. This will have
the effect of considerably reducing Llver-
fiool quotations, nominally, because the
deal grade A will be abolished.
Corn Trade News correspondnnt In Ham
burg says In the Issue of December 4 the
srrlval of some steamers of Kansas wheat
In a very bad state has egnln caused nu
merous protests against the certificates.
The stuff could not be delivered to millers.
Therefore they hnrl a good demand for Rus
sian wheat and River Plata new crop.
Ieask aaya: "Evidence given In the
northwest yesterday was to the effect thst
farmers were compelled to haul their grain
bark to the farms, na elevator capacity
waa filled and no menarff of getting cars."

CHICAGO, Dec. 19. Realising snles by
small dealers caused weakness today In
the local wheat market, the May delivery
ung at a net aecune or sjvio. corn was
m.c. (.wis were a shade lower. Fra.
visions were 2460 to lOo higher.
Sentiment In the wheat clt was bearish
all day and the volume of trading was very
small. The easier ton of the market was
due more to the general dullness than to
any new feature In the situation. Receipts
In the northwest were again small, but this
snortage was discounted by the fact that
many cars are being used to earry coal to
relieve the famine In tha northwest. There
was a good demand for cash wheat at Min
neapolis, but the flour trade was reported
dull. Commission houses and local longs
were the principal sellers, while the offer.
lngs came chiefly from shorts. The market
closed weak, with prices close to the lowest
point. May opened unchanged at 7 tiwwi "Ho,
sold between TNWtnBHc and closed at Tbo.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 473.MJO bu. Primary receipts were 00,(M
nu.. against (ua.uuu du. tor tnc same day last
year. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
ported receipts of 413 cars, against 416 cars
lust week and n62 cars a year ago.
With the exception of a mild flurry In the
December option, due to covering hy shorts.
the corn market was steady and dull. May
corn opened unchanged to a shade higher,
fit 43t43c, sold between 43c and 437vcj
44c and closea at 4atutwo. Local receipts
were 17S cars, with three cars of contract
grade.
Trading In the oats pit was fairly active.
commlsuion houses buying freely of the May

rat 3tVulc. Local receipts were 12 cars.
Provisions were strong, with a decided In
crease In the volume of trading. Shorts and
local packers were the chief buyers, the de
mand being stimulated by a small supply ot
live hogs. Pork and libs showed the most
activity. The market lost aome strength

NEW YriRK. Dec 19. A violent spasm
of liquidation swept over the stork market
today and caused a downward rush of
prices thst looked threatening st one time.
A substantial recovery occurred before the
closing hour. The storm center was the
group of stocks which In the customary ex
pression of the stock market have "en
joyed rights" recently, a phrase which
operators In the stocks now use with an
Ironical emphasis. The continued strin
gency of the money market and the failure
of any appreciable relief from the opera
tion of the treasurers plan for assistance
bad a discouraging effect on sentiment.
The crumbling of the market at weak
spots spread to pretty much the whole
market, although there were a few promi
nent stocks which maintained a show of re
sistance to the flood of selling. The con
fusion In the market for St. Paul con
tinued and waa an unsettling Influence on
the whole market. The subscription rights
came oft both classes of the stock this
morning. The "rights" were also admitted
to quotation on the Stock exchange The
opening price of St. Paul with the price
quoted for the rights added showed a rise
of 34 over yesterday's closing price. The
hope thus engendered that the disturbance
In the stock was over waa short
lived and It soon began to recede again
under heavy offerings. The admittance to
quotation of the rights helped clear up one
cause of confusion by providing a market
valuation for purposes of fixing collateral
In loans on St. Paul. The suddenness
with which the books of the company were
closed after the announcement of subscrip
tions rights and the call for a SlC.00o.o00

Ists In the country, who were banded to
gether for mutual protection of the specu
lative position from harm from tne money
situation. Professional traders were loud
In protestation of a suspicion that the
course of events had been especially ar-
ranaed to cause a break In prices. There
was an extraordinary confusion and con
tradiction also in the estimates of the real
value of the rights which have been of
fered so abundantly in the last few days.
St. Paul, Northern Pacific and Great North
ern preferred still suffered acutely, there
fore, in the prevalent weakness. 1 ne high
priced stocks generally were sufferers In
sympathy. There was an enormous spec
ulation In Reading and heavy seiung wnen
rumors circulated that there was to be no
change In the dividend rate, aa predictions
had oeen confidently made or a b per cent
dividend rale for that stock.
The extent of the recovery from the ex-
tremo declines pointed strongly also to
extensive operations bj bears.
1 ne presence 01 tne secretary 01 tne
treasury In the city gave rise to conjec
tures of more substantial measures of re
lief for the money market, which contin
ued very stringent both for call and time
loans, sterling exchange was very weak
In response to the money ptrlngency and
i.onuon snowed Keen apprehension ot a
demand for gold on the part of New York.
New York bankers were Inclined to the
opinion that a demand In i.ondon for gold
would be Injudicious, as It was believed
beyond doubt, that the Bank of England
would advance Its dlsionnt rate tomorrow
should gold be taken from that market.
The news of the presence of the secretary
of the treasury in Wall street came at a
time when the liquidation had srent most
of Its force. The Increase in the dividend
on Lehigh Valley also revived hopes which
proven raiiacious ot an advance In the
Reading rate. The coveting by the. shorts
became quite precipitate and worked a
material rally In the whole market. The
closing was strong and showed a number
of substantial net gains, after a level of
prices at the low point ruling all the way
from 1 to 7 points below last night.
Bonds were weak. Total sales, par' value,
$2.28,0t). United States bonds were un
changed oh call.

IKXIS The market was late In opening,
but when the trmle whs once umlcrwiv. It
was fully steady on- the general run of
hogs, with some of the best grades posslhly
stronger. The fact was thst buyers seemed
to want the prmt hogs especially thl
morning, both light and butcher welghls
and good heavy weights. The trnde was
not active at any time, but when once
underway a large proportion of the curly
arrivals soon changed bands.
The later market did not show very much
change, lielng posiby h little bit espler
In spots. The quality of the hnga tudnv
wss very good, and tbst fact helped tin
sales to show up well on paper.

Foreign Financial.
LONDON. Dec. 19. Supplies of money
were scarce and there was a good deinana
In the market today. Discounts were firmly
maintained. There was no disposition to
operate below the bank rate and the bulk
of business therefore went to the Bank
of England. Trading on the Stock ex
change showed signs ot gradually lessening
with the approach of the holidays and In
addition the monetary situation caused a
depression In British securities, which were
again fractionally weaker. Consols, how
ever, advanced during the afternon on ru
mors that gold was coming from Paris.
Foreigners were Inclined to steadiness ow
ing to more favorable Paris advices. Amer
icans opened heavy. In sympathy with Wall
street. Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul
was especially weak, but during the fore
noon the market strengthened and prices
picked up to about parity In most in
stances, under the lead of Canadian Pa
cific, but the latter declined during the aft
ernoon. The New York advices generally
wera more favorable later. Thla helped
the market, which closed steady after mod
erate fluctuations. Japanese Imperial 6a of
1H04 closed at 10174.
PARIS, Deo. 1 The tone on the Bourse
today was unchanged. Russian lmnerlal
4s closed at 76.36 and Russian bonds of liol
at im.
BERLIN, Dec. 19. Tha ton on the Bourse
today waa undecided.
' CATTLU-The country is Indulging in its
annual clearing sale and is flooding the
market not only here but at other selling
points with a great lot of half-fat steers
at a time when, as usual before the holi
days, the consuming demand calls for the
best grades and only a limited number of
them. Just why feeders are so anxious to
unload at this seaaon of the year is a diffi
cult question to answer. Nevertheless the
cattle keep corning and prices keep going
lower.
It Is no easy matter to find any two sales
men who will exactly agree as to the
amount of decline on any one day. The
cattle come in so late In the morning and
are not all disposed of until night, that It
Is very difficult to quote the market with
exactness on any single day. There was
no one, however, but what thought the
market today was all of 6oc lower than It
was ten days ago. Some of the very best
cattle possibly did not show that much off,
but the great big bulk of all the cattle have
suffered that much decline. It la Impossible
for the country to fully realise just how
bad it Is, but the market Is not only lower
here, but at every other point as well. It
Is also impossible to make quotations whteh
will fully show the decline that has taken
place, partly for the reason that the cattle
are getting better all the time, so that while
the range of prices may be very nearly the
same It takes much better cattle to bring
them than was the case a short time ago.
The market on cows and heifers opened
extremely slow this morning, the same as
It has every morning of late. With a good
many of the trains back buyers were In
clined to wait until they knew more about
the character of the receipts and hence the
forenoon was well advanced before any
thing of consequence was done. The mar
ket on cows has suffered in about the same
way aa have steers. The trade has been
dull and lower almost every day, and while
sellers may differ very materially as to the
transactions for any one dav no one dis
putes but what a decline of 4 feooc has taken
place on the general run or fair to pretty
decent cows.
The feeder trade is very slow and dull.
The break In beef cattle has naturally
made buyers rather weak-kneed and the
tendency of the market has been lower, al
though feeders have not suffered quite aa
much of a decline as have fat cattle.

SHEEP Receipts of sheep during the
nrst two days this week were about the
same as last week, but more than doub'e
the receipts of a year ago. This morning,
fortunately, there whs a lighter run. which
gave the market a little rest. The nrrlvals
were also partly made up of feeders which
was a still
on killers.
further relief to the market
The market on fat sheep and lambs
opened Just about ateady with yesterday,
but the trade was none too active. The
packers seemed to want a few good sheep
and lambs, but the demand was by no
means urgent, besides being limited. Pack
ers paid as high as $o,60 for a string of
Colorado wethers, with ewes at 5.t. the
same that broght 14.90 yesterday. Some
good lambs sold Up to 17.26. Sellers who
naa medium grades of fat sheep or lambs
such as were not good enough for the
packers, but a little too good for feeders.
complained that It was very hard to unload
at anything like satisfactory nrlces.
The demand for f?eders continues very
gooa. J nere are, in fact, orders stiftlcient
to take everything coming or that Is like v
to come. A big string of Montana wethers
sold this morning at 85.10.
