Liberal primary re ceipts and Increased stocks In the north west were chiefly responsible today for weukness In the local wheat market. At the close wheat for May delivery was off 4c, corn was a shudo lower, oats were iown tfi-V: and provisions were 174fJ6c lower. The wheat market opened weak because of a moderate decline at Liverpool and, with the exception of a few mild rallies, continued hesvy all day. The dullness of ejtport business, the poor demand for cash wheat and the large Increase In stocks of wheat at Minneapolis were the depress ing factors. The strength of corn and a late recovery at Liverpool were the bullish features. Trade, which wss active early 1n the session, became very light In ths V hitter part of the day. The close was easv. may opened HTCc to kric lower i wc to $1,001. old between 9Kic and tl-Ot'4 and closed at tl.0vt41.004. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 8.200.000 bu.

Min iKMtpolts Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 601 cars, against 6M cars last week and 628 cars one year ago. Ths corn market was 'strong for tho arrester part of the day because of firm ca bles snd reports of poor condition In much )f ths new crop. Late in the session senti ment became bearish because of the de cline In the price of live hogs and liberal tirlmarv rerelnts. The close was steady.

Speculative condi tions were unaltered today, the Influences governing ths market being as potent In decreasing prices ss on previous days of the week. Liquidation played a large part In the day's decline and was materially as sisted bv an enersetlo bear faction which assailed different stocks from time to time In an endeavor to force out long stock. Discussion as to probable dividend reduc tions, combined wtlh the manifest lack of effective Inside support at critical times discouraged bull operstors and prices were accordingly allowed to take tneir course. i he selling pressure snirtea aooui irom one. stock to another, but eventually tne entire list displayed Increasing weakness which was continued to the close New York Central and American Sugar wercihe weakest -features of their re spective groups although the known In fluences responsiuie lor meir weaanesa were assumed to be radically different. In the case of American Bugar the recent death of President Havemeyer was as signed as the principal cause of the recent hearr liuuldatlon In that stock, dui com petent market observers were Inclined to attach much credence to a rumor that a successful bear operator was making a campaign against the stock, t'ncertalnty as to the forthcoming dividend distribution on New York Central, together with the knowledge that further large sums must bo expended to complete the terminal Im provements and other projects in course of construction are credited wtlh being the primary reasons for the extensive liuulda tlon In that stock. Whether the facts out lined cover the underlying motives for the weakness in those stocks or not, It Is rec- ornlsed that the rank and file of specula tors need little more than a tentative dem onstration against a stock to encourage them to Join the movement with enthusiasm. The belief la entertained that tomorrow"! bank statement will make a favorable showing, although money conditions are still regarded as being far from reassuring. With virtually nominal markets existing for mercantile paper and the time money and wtlh the continuation of the currency premium expectations of an early readjust ment to a nominal basis are not encour aging. The October statements of both the Union Paclflo and Southern Paclflo rail roads which showed large Increases In gross earnings converted Into a heavy shrinkage In net earnings owing to a high ratio of operating expenses contributed to the weakness In those stocks and in measure fostered the late decline In the general list. Uonds were Irregular, with a lower tend ency. Total sales, par value, $1.IW.000 United States 2a and 8s advanced and the 4s Vm per cent on call.

Still there were quite a number of cattle carried over from the day uerore, It am verv fortunate for the selling inter ests that receipts were no larger, as tho demand turned out to be very light, there being only two packers' representatives in the yards on the opening, as mignt De im as-lned under the clrcumstsncts. It was 1 slow, weak market from start to finish MTo nut It another way. cattle sold today at the low oolnt of the season so far, or 200 lower tnan the close 01 last weea. inis would apply to practically all kinds of cat tle, both killers and feeders. As a matter of course, some kinds of cattle have felt the decline more than others. It being the rule that good cattle will stand up better under a break than tne less aesiraoie grades. There has been an almost entire absence or snan ana lire 10 me traue an the week, the demand of buyers being limited and hardly up to the receipts. From a seller's standooint the trade is In a very unpromising condition, present prices being low and there oelng notning in signt to warrant anyone In expecting anything bet ter In the near future. Some very choice and well finished beeves sold late yesterday at $6.70. They were fed by one of the beat feeders In the stato and In former years would have sold as Christmas cattle.

Representative sales: BEEF 8TEER8. lower than Thursday's market, the hogs selling largely at H.tfxbH.5o, with a top at )4.0. The trade was fairly aotive at the decline, sellers under the prevailing con ditions being unable to do anything but take their medicine. They accordingly cut loose at the figures noted. Before sellers had a chance to unload all their holdings the market took another sudden drop. Chicago advices Indicated a Dress, there of Xb-Booc, wnue Kansas iuy and St. Joseph, sent In reports of a JOftMoc break at those points. Buyers here sud denly lowered their bids so as to bring them into line with other selling points, which means that the market became soiioo lower than yesterday. On the close It took right good loads, such as sold at $4 70 yester day to bring 84.40, with the light loaus on down still lower. It Is hardly necessary to add that the market -.oday both here and at all ether market points was in the most demoralised condition that It has been any day since the beginning of the big break.

The trade was practically at a standstill. The early re ceipts were estimated at sixteen cars, but later reports indicated that there might be In before the close as many aa twenty five rsrs. This would have been a large run for a Friday at any time, but was es pecially large considering the condition of tho market. Buyers were out In the morn ing and picked up a few very good heavy western yearlings at 34.36, the same that brought 84.66 on Tuesday of this week and 86 at the beginning of the season. A few lambs changed hands at 86 50, with a few little bunches of other stuff, t-eeder buy ers paid 15.36 for seven cars of very good Wyoming range lambs. Then the market came to a standstill. It did not seem to lie so much a question of price as not want ing the stuff at all. Packers claimed that they were filled full and did not have or ders and went to the house without trying to buy. Still there was no question but what the market was a good deal lower. Advices from other selling points, espe cially Chicago, were most discouraging.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13. R. Q. Dun Co.' weekly review of trade tomorrow will say I Commercial reports indicate little altera tion for the last week, but conlldence is expressed that there will be marked Im provement after January 1. Holiday trado monopolists attention, in some sections ex ceeding that of last year, though aggre gate Bales do not compare favorably with ll to dale. Jobbing and wholesale lines are seasonably quiet, while manufacturing operations are curtailed pending the re sumption of normal demands. Trie supply of labor has increased, but not In ratio to the closed plants, however, owing to eml gratlon, which Is about double that of last year. Some sections report a bettor senti ment In the Iron and steel Industry, al though new bualness Is limited snd little recovery is expected until next ywar. Sev eral orders for-xolllng stock were placed this week, and more business of this nature Is under negotiation, while the of ficial report ot exports of products of iron and steel elvbw a total value of t1.o00-" In ten months of 1907. or over 10 per cent of the value of alt merchandise gent abroad. Fluctuations in the raw material pro duced some Irregularity in the tons of cot ton goods, but net changes occurred In prices. As neither manufacturer nor buyer seems desirous of establishing a new basis of quotations the market Is nominally un changed. The only division of the cotton manufacturers' market that shows accumu lation ia the export class. No new busi ness with China Is anticipated until prices decline materially. Certain lines of wool ens f r next fsll have been opened and thn market canvassed to aom eient N dellinlte tendency Is noted thus fsr, how. ever, and many dealers prefer to postpone presenting new lines somewhat longer. There Is a belief that the cheaper lines will . attract relatively more attention than In recent years, but there Is uncertainty as to the variety of gooda that will be poptilsr. Footwear shipments through Boston are much smaller than a year ago. yet senti ment has improved, and wholesalers are expected to operate freely in the near future. Less stringency helps the tone, and reports from salesmen are unanimous In declaring that no surplus stocks are held by Jobbers. A better Inquiry In the leather market promises a revival of busi ness after January 1. Prices are steady for standard sole, although some odd lots have been rlsposed of nt further conces sions. Belting leather Is dull and wesk. Signs of Improvement multiply In the hide market, business on nil kinds of domeptto nacker and country hides this week 'wlng larger than st sir.' time fir twi mpn prices arc steadier. In some cases ad vances of a full cent being recorded. For eign hides share the better feeling, quota tions at the Antwerp auction sale exceed-, expectations. BRADSTnEUT'S BEVIEW OF TRADE Cross-Cnrrents la Finance and Ia dnstry Prevent Generalisation. NEW YORK, Dec. U-Brsdstreefg to morrow will say: Cross currents In finance and Industry prevent generalisation, but financial condi tions generally have shown further easing while the approach of the holiday period and more seasonable weather has helped curtail ' distribution which in some sec tions also feels the stimulus of price con cessions. On the other hand wholesale and Jobbing trade has rather quieted and manufacturing induatry has slackened slightly. In no brsnch of trade distribution or Industry are operations so brisk as at this dale in recent years. Collections gen erally are very slow and failures tend tu Ineeraslng In number. In financial affairs the oountry Is making gradual approaches to thn normal. Western banks are showing an increasing disposi tion to pay out currency, some inquiry for mercantile paper Is noted on the part of Interior banks at leading western centers and some money has begun to return to Chicago. Savings bank withdrawals are sinull where the embargo on withdrawing has been lifted. The premium on currency still persists at many cities, however, and this la variously assigned to window dress ing by slate banks awaiting culls as to condition and to the need always felt at holiday season for small bills. There Is less talk of cancellations, though here are evidences of these In many lines. To offset the possibility of large stocks so cumulating, buyers are keeping their activ ities restricted and this tendency Is also re inforced by a fair volume of resales by Jobbers who find surplus supplies at hand. Amour the Industries a feature la the continuance of belter failing in iron and steel, accompanied by some Inquiry for near future wants. Production 1m, however, being restricted, an example being fur nished by the reports tiiat pig iron produc tion In the Pittsburg district is but 40 to 60 per cent of normal, while finishing mills are running to Oo to 70 per cent of their ca pacity. Building has shown a heavy falling off and all materials are dull. Lumber la quiet and Weak and there are reports of a quite general ahutdown of mills In tne south. A similar condition Is reported In the northwext and luxglng operations this winter bid fair to bj greatly restricted. Curtailment of output is quite gen'-ral among the textile industries and inuny New England mills In other lines are restrict ing output. This is especially a true in metsl working, shoe munufactuiing and otner lines.
