A slack export de mand .and a liberal Increase In the visible supply had a weakening effect today on the local wheat market, the May delivery at the close sliowlng a net loss of lVuc. Corn Was a shads lower, Oats were a shade Jilrher. Provisions were to 17H higher. The. wheat market was weak through cat the day, with the exception ot a short "period about the middle of the session, when buying fcy shorts, based on a rally In stocks, caused moderate strength for a short ,-tlms. At the) start the market .was bcarlslily affected by easy cables and by weakness of the stock list. As the session advanced absence of demand from ex porters, who asserted that foreign bids for American wheat were very disappointing, ' luNDlrsd additional sales. An Increase of l.iM,ono bushels in uie yisiDie supply, com ' pared with adeoTas of 36,000, bushels, .lie corresponding timet last year, was an other enoouraglng factor for the bears.

The corn market was strong almost all day beeauso of, aa absence of any de liveries on December contrsots, which In duced considerable covering . by shorts. An advanoe of Tla In the prloe ot cash grstn stimulated additional purchases of the options.'' The market late In the day . waa beartshly affected by tha weakness of wheat, all of the early gains being lost on realising sales. 'The close waa easy.

SHARP REACTION COMES NEXT After W'esk Following la Xhskea Oat Balls Again Send Prlcea I'pward Talk ot Dlwosstliig PresU deal's Message. NEW YORK, Deo. t. The price move ment of stocks underwent some violent mutations today and the course of the maraet gave abundant evidence of the re vival of something like animation In the speculation. The supposition ot the re entry Into active participation In the spec ulation of some of the protnsslonal opers tors of large calibre was corroborated by the appearance of the trading and the signs of bearlshnexs and resourcefulness with which It was conducted. The softness of the early market and the readiness with which It yielded to selling pressure conveyed the Impression that the active campaign for a rise, which had been entered upon Inst week, had been quickly abandoned In face of some features devel oped over ther end of the week which were regarded as rather discouraging. The pro nounced turn In the later market suggested a partly manipulative origin for the early relapse In the favorite manner of a veteran speculative leader, who has been sus pected of a prominent shsre In the Initia tion of the present movement. The market was highly speculative In character throughout to a degree that has not been approached sines tha crisis In financial affairs. The reaction In the early deal ings served to shake out the weak follow ing of the bull leadership and to encour age renewed short selling by the bears, who had commenced to cover extensively late last week In the uneasiness engendered by the aggressiveness of the advance. This shaking out of a weak bull following and the revival of a short Interest strength ened the technlcsl position of the market and facilitated the later advances. Room traders held tha belief that It was designed to this end. The renewal of the advanoe late In the day was assigned to the general pur poses of a reorganised party in the specu lation to take advantage of the turn to wards Improvement In the financial situa tion, which made Itself clearly perceptible alrrsdv last week. The market had the designation of "political, also, from some observers, meaning that speculative antic ipation was being made of future events nt Washington snd of an expected modi fication of the public sentiment of hostility towards capital and towards corporattona throughout the country with lta corres ponding reflection In the trend of legisla tion and administrative acts. It was slleged In behalf of this view that sufficient was known of the contents of the presi dent's message to be presented to cnnirress tomorrow to bear out this assumption of n modified view of corporation questions. While prices were declining In the morn ing assertions were current with ' equal posltlveness the market was discounting an expected bsd Influence on prices from the tenor of the presidential message. It wss argued also that the pace set In the re covery last week had become fur too rapid and the bankers and capitalists of power end Influence were frowning upon the Im- fietuoslty of the movement. Free selling or London account wos a factor In the early session, foreigners taking advantage of the rapid advance In prices to take ntilck sneculatlve croflts. The stiffness of the money market, with the continuance of the December settlements, was another bridling Influence. Payment waa made of $10,000,000 for subsciipt.eps to new Bt. Paul stock. There was gome recovery In the rate of the premium on currency also. This did not Impair- the ' feeling of confi dence that events in the banking situation were moving rapidly towards a restoration of normal conditions. Not a little Was heard while prlcea were, declining of the effects yet to be felt throughout the com mercial fabric of the shock which the banking structure had been subjected to. The talk was silenced about the stock ex change during the buoyant rise late In the day. Bonds were Irregular. In sympathy with stocks, but were decidedly more active and showed a large absorption.

Of this number seven cats were through stuff, consigned to an east ern feed lot. At the same time, with the moderaie receipts at this point, Chicago r.a reporting a very large run, and pack ers' messages were all quoting the market lowrr. I luler such circumstances It was not surprising that huyers at this point were very alow ai)d backward about taking hold and it was later than Usual before Very much business was transacted. When the sheep did sell they went at prices that ere aoyhere from steady to quite s little lower. Moat tslesmen were quoting It shout strady Wth last week's close, but slow and weak. Some of the tania year lings that brought $5.00 ths first of last week sold 2oc lower today. Quite a little string f native lambe sold up to $6 10, with pretty fair westerns, both fed snd rangers, at $5.K6 As the receipts were so modulate, the most of the offering changed hands in fair season In spits of the fact that the lrari was slow.

' IRON TRADE IS SLOWING. UP Scarcity of Carrcaoy Cssttt Sara Ihttdtwai, bat Coaclltloas At Looking; Brighter. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. I. Among mohu- facturers of Iron, steel tools and ma chinery there Is a general belief that tho present depression will not be) ' 80 pro longed as In previous periods of stagna tion In business. Careful Inquiry made by correspondents of tho Iron Trads Re view In many cities of the United States Indicates a somewhat better feeling, espe cially as to flnanclal conditions. There will, however, be further curtailment of production, especially In pig Iron, steel and seml-nnlshed materials, but aside from plants which manufacture such' products, the numbers of closed concerns ars not large, although there Is a feneral rsduo tlon of hours of working and of the num ber of employes. Curtailment of plf Iron production has proceeded at a rapid rate In the east, and In eastern Pennsylvania a number of the furnaces have been put out of blast within a few weeks. The United States Steel corporation now has fifty of Us nlnety-flv workable furnaces out of blast and several more are expected to be blown out within a few days. Ths Republlo Iron and Steel company will start Its Youngstown plants tomorrow, snd has resumed operations at Its East St. IxjuIs plant with one-third of tha num ber of employes, but expects to put on an additional large force next Monday. With approximately 10,000 men out of em ployment in 6t- Louis and 10,000 In Eost St. Louis and the announcement that the various Industries of the North American company In SL Louis will lay off an ad ditional l',600 men, oomes the cheering an nouncement that tha St. Louis Terminal Railroad association will expend t4.000.0Ot) In the construction of viaducts, tracks and bridges. In East BC Louis the American Aluminum works Is Idle, with 1.600 men out of employment 'The American Steel foundries plant at Granite City, 111., Is closed down permanently. In Cincinnati and vicinity, there hava been very few actual shutdowns, but many plants are running with reduced forces or on short time. Unfilled orders ars suf ficient to keep the plants going; for another thirty days, on short tlms, but new busi ness Is light. From Cincinnati, Colunibus and New England cities come report that orders from foreign lands are doing much to ' make up ' foy-.liJasVjoX Ado'hieftlo trsde. At . Worcester, ths center of v the machine tool Industry of New England, the banks have not actually felt the lack ot cash, but a number of plants have curtailed production. In Milwaukee about 4,000 man are out of employment. The Milwaukee plant of the National Enameling and Stamping company, which just shut down, does not expect to resume until after January 1. Reports from Cleveland, Bos ton, Buffalo, Chicago, Dayton, Detroit, In dianapolis, Louisville, Philadelphia, Syra cuse and Toronto Indicate that there Is a general but gradually decreasing embar rassment on account' ot lack ot currency. The almost universal report Is that con ditions have Improved during the last week or ten days, and there Is mors confi dence n the future. Indianapolis seems to be In an especially good condition. In Philadelphia the Baldwin Locomotive works, which has had 22,000 men In Its employ for the last two years, has ar ranged to discontinue its night force. AC Syracuse a number ot plants are working; nights and have mors than they can do. TORREY CLOSES IN CHICAGO Large Number ot Parsons Confess Conversion aa Result at Efforts. CHICAGO. Dec. 2 -Rev.
