Tha comparative smallness of the clearances for tli week and a report 'that the winter wheat crop Is In good condition caused a weak feeling In the wheat market here today. At the close wheat fr May delivery waa off Corn waa unchanged. Oats were a shade higher. Prcylslona wers 6ViO to 16e 111 her. The wheat market early In the day was steady on moderate buying; by commission houses, which waa based upon firm cables, small recelpta In the northwest and de creased shipments from Argentina. Dur ing the lust hour, however, the report of a trade Journal that the growing mheat crop Is In a satisfactory condition and that a more liberal movement of old wheat la expected caused active selling, which weakened the market. The announcement that clearancea of wheat and Hour from the I'nlted Htatea for the week amounted to 2,4'.i5,O0O bu., ag-atnst 4.400.01)0 bu. for last J week added to the bearish reeling. 1 ne total volume of trading was small. The market cloved weak with prices near the lowest point of the day. May opened un- Stork In Slant. Recelpta of live stock at the six principal western markets yesterday: Cattle. Hoirs. Sheep NEW YORK. Dec. 28 The restraining Influence of the coming January settle ments asserted Itself on the stock market again today. A shifting of loans begn early In the day, which ran the call loan rale up to 18 per cent and dislodged some holdings of stocks. The covering of short contracts which was effected In yesterday's rising market left that of today deprived of that much demand. There was evidence as well of renewed pressure of liquidation In the Hill stocks and the subscription rights for St. Paul ran off In a way to argue III for the pros pective demand for the new stock. A slory was In circulation that a large speculative holding of the Hill stocks which waa In a vulnerable position had been taken over st private sale and It was hoped that this would relieve the stocks from the pressure of liquidation which has weighed on them for several weeks and the renewed de pression was the more disappointing. The long decline In these stocks gave rise to disquieting rumors about the Stock ex change today of damage which might re- su t. These rumors were discredited in well Informed ouarters and passed out of consideration when prices Vegan to recover late In the day. This waa after tha prin rlpal money requlrementa had been met at tho Stock exchange. As loans made today carry over until Monday, which Is the last nay of the year, there was a growtn in the feeling of confidence that the year end would be bridged without violent flurry in the money market. The contrast In the action of the stock market In view of this tranquil condition In the call market with the rapid rise in stocks at this time last year when money went to 126 per cent on call was the subject of much comment. The most plausible explanation of the con trast is the more widespread stringency in the world's money markets this year, which nan obstructed the efforts or tne nokiera of securities on margin to secure resources for carrying them In foreign markets and thus to Ignore the fluctuations In tne local money rate. The usual estimate of the currency movement showed a balance in fnvwr of New iork. a large proportion or which was believed to be by receipts from Canada. The subtreasury operations ab sorbed several hundred thousand dollar from th market, but the net gain of the banks is estimated at between 32.000,000 and 83.to0.0on cash. It is likely, however, that the principal effect of the preparations for the annual fcettlements will be reflected In the loan items of the banks. There was no rally In the foreign exchange market and there was a further easing of the dis count rate both In London and In Berlin. A surrender of more than 33,ono,ono In gold to the London market by Paris was a feature of the day's news. The London money market as a rule relaxes very quickly after the annual settlements have been made and the year end window dress ing reuuliements met. The present low level of exchange points to a movement of gold from London to New York as a con sequence of any material easing of the money pltuatlon In Iondon. The news of the death of President C as sat t of the Pennsylvania railroad waa almost of no effect on the stock market and did not come as a surprise, the fact of his declining health having been well known for many months past. The late recoveries In the market were well held and the closing tone waa fairly steady. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, 32.om.0iiO. United States bonds were unchanRpd on call.

The market aa a whole was In fair shape; In fact, there was more life to the trade and a better feeling than usual at this time of the week. Packers did not appear to have'all the fat steers that they could use this week and the market accordingly was fairly active at good, strong prices. The mod erate receipts this week has enabled the market to gradually recover the loss ot last week, ao that cattle arc now Just as high aa before the break. 1 Cows and heifers were also In good de mand and the market waa strong and active on all desirable kinds of killers. As a rule the few loads In sight changed hands In very good season In the morning. There were only a few scattering cars pf feeders In sight and no material change In the market.

WOOie The annual ranvasa of the wool trade of the United Slatea by the Boston Commercial Bulletin to discover the amount of wool remaining unsold at the close of the year shows a stock this year of 94.402,046 pounds of do mestic and 15,169,000 pounds of foreign wool. This is to be compared with a stock of 7J.461.443 pounds of domestic and 34,414,000 pounds of foreign one year ago and hence showa an Increase for thla year of 21,940.603 pounds ot domestic and a decrease in the stock of foreign wool of 9,246,v00 pounds. Regarding the wool market the Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow: Despite the holiday period and the annual cleaning up of mill accounts a moderately substantial business Is being accomplished. Some houses are experiencing a rather quiet de mand for wool, while others are enjoying an active trade. The general condition of the market la satisfactory to merchants, who feel that the steadily diminishing local stocks and the strength of the foreign mar kets sufficiently warrant a stlfTer price tendency. Large handlers of domestic wool are busily employed shipping the recent heavy purchases. Fine and fine medium clothing territory are still having a good movement, the transfers including Wyom ing, Idaho, Montana and Otah stock. Sales are of varying quantities, most of them, however, being of moderate proportions. Prices range from T'yCSc in the grease or 6Kr70c for fine and 66tifec for fine medium, scoured basts. Staple territory la In com paratively small supply, but the demand continues unabated. Fine staple Montana sells at 25&25Hc or 70i73e clean: half-blood Is moving steadily at 67tf7(c, while quarter blood Is scarce and strong at 681&6OC. Scoured territory Is also having a fair call, at 7uc for fine and 66'a70c for fine medium. Texas and California woola are still re ceiving attention from manufacturers, with resultant sales of fall Texaa at 22?r?3c In the grease or 6o672c clean, or of Middle county, California, at 21(&23c or 86366c. The fleece situation is becoming steadily stronger and In quarter-blood the strength Is Dartlcularly noticeable. It belna estimated tha.t there are no more thun 4.0u0,0iio pounds sold In this country. The shipments of wool from Boston to December 24, In clusive, from December 27, Ii6. according to the same authority, are Z.'7.7.".7."74 pounds, against 2;fi,U7.S19 pounds at the same time last year.
