ew Mlah Record for Season
December and Mar Wheat.
CHICAGO. IeO. 1. New high record
marks for the season for tha December and
Mav deliveries weer reached In the local
wheat market today when the former
touched 1.U5'4 and the latter J1.W4 and
the latter ... The market closed strong
at the top. Corn and oats closed easy and
provisions firm.
The wheat market opened strong with
prices up c to Vtrc and became stronger
as trading progressed, the close being at
the highest . point of the day and at net
aalna of lSGjUtc fot December and lMi for
May. i
The most Important factors contributing
to the sharp upturn were unfavorable har
vesting weather In Argentina and a de
cided falling off In receipts 1n this country,
especially In the northwest. Several dls
ratohes were received today callmlng that
ralna stll prevailed In the northern districts
o' Argendna. The dererased movement In
the northweat. howerer, was perhaps the
most potent Influenr. Arrivals of wheat
today st Minneapolis: and Duluth aggre
gated MS cars, nompared with S&4 earn last
week and 1.199 cars t'ie corresponding day
a year ago.
Winnipeg alo repotted that receipts
there tomorrow will probably be 1n the
reigliborhood of 200 cars against arrivals
today of 6J cars. A sevore bllzxard which
was rating today In the Canadian north
wes waa said to have checked the move
ment to some extent, but the chief reason
for the sudden falllng-off In receipts was
tad to he the fact tlat the great bulk
of the crop has already been marketed.
A brisk export demand for durum and
low grade Manitoba wheat at Duluth
helped to strengthen the local market.
Local bulla weer liberal purchasers of the
December delivery. on of the eladers, it
waa said, having botig'it In the neighbor
hood of 1. 500,000 htiHheli.
There was practically no demand for
cash wheat here except' by elevator con-
terns. Clearances of wheat and flour were
enual to ffiO.OiiO bushels. , The world s visi
ble supply ss shown hy Bradstreet's de
creased 3,076.000 bushels.
U. i da'lon of the lloemlT delivery
was the feature of trade In the corn mar
ket. Deliveries today on December con
tract were Ziio.OOO bushels. The market
closed easv with prices lifl"4c higher to H
W'c lower: Ieceniber closing at 61!i(8Ec,
tinrf .May at 62c.
Oats were Inclined to be easy, owing to
profit taking In the lerember option fol
lowing deliveries of 225,(00 bushels on De
cember contructs. The market closed easy
with rplces a shade higher to VSfSc lower.
lecemter closed at 4Mj48fac and May at
iiUfjlV)'.
Provisions were firm. Trade, however,
waa quiet. At tha close prices were 7Vil
loo to 12"8'15e higher.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1. The professional
operators In stocks did most of the busl
Uons were In the class of securities desig
nated specialties, most. part, market poois,
making their Influence, felt liu more than
one case In moving prices ranch At will.
Yesterday's heavy fall In the price of
Cm ted states -Bteel shares was followed to
day by further free offerings of that stock.
Dealings In It were on a scale unusually
even in so unwieldy a market medium as
this security Is by reason of the huge bulU
of Its capital. A single transaction of .'i"0
shares, of steel was made on the floor dur
ing the day, the block being taken by ono
purchaser, although several sellers con
tributed to the trade. The selling of this
stock Is regarded as being prompted u
some extent at least by the growtng prob
ability of more radical action on tho tariff
than has been the expectation In financial
quarters. The movement tit. Culled States
Steel are of such Impressive effect on spec
ulative senltment towards the whole, mar
ket thnt it is difficult to overcome, it by
wntrary movements in other stocks.
Another development of the day was the
definite arrangement by International bank
ing houses to ship -gold to Paris on Thurs
day. Another rise in the foreign exchange
rate today wiped out the. margin sepaiattna
the prices from the point of profit on gold
shipments.- It w as dented that "allowance
of interest on the shipment while In tranwlt
by the Bank of Prance figured in the tran
saction. Bankers estimate that the movement 'may
run to 10.OiK,000 or $12.000.00. Th e insati
able demands of tha Bank of France, for
gold In face of an unprecedented Volume
of holdings arouse no little wonder amongst
bankers. It is believed that uninterrupted
selling of American securities by foreigners
is the dominating cause, of the- movement.
The call loan rate was affected today, al-1
though In slight degree. Hubtreasury opera
tions took $i.fi.')4,0ii0 from the banks on ac
count of a return of government deposits
called for Inst week by the secretary. Ye
terady'a announcement of the sale of 350,
OOO.OiM of American Telephone bonds was
supplemented by the report of the coming
issue of 120.000,000 United States Rubber
bonds. 'Next Saturday bids are to be sub
mitted for the 3.W.iiO,ii) Panama cannl
bonds. Kime impression was made by the
reports of growing rancor In a dispute be
tween the Pennsylvania railroad and Its
locomotive engineers, especially a statement
put out yesterday Indicating a mood oi
preparation on the part of the anthracite
Interests for trouble with the expiration of
the present wage agreement next April.
The Irregular liquidation, wtilcn nas Deen
in progress for several days past, probably
was prompted in varying degree Dy an ot
these motives. It proceded to an extent
that brought relief during the course of
the day's dealings and opened the way for
a considerable recovery.
Tha cessation of the pressure of the
T'nlted States Steel and on some other
prominent stocks was of more Influence in
bringing this about than the more sensa
tional advances In a group ot specialties.
Rock Island preferred was conspicuous In
this class, its volatile rise being unexplained
by any news bearing on the property. '1 lie
2 per cent for call loans touched today
has not been equaled since the second week

CATTLE The cattle marxet was again
in very satisfactory condition this morning
so far as desirable kinds were concerned.
The trad as a whole was reasonably ac
tive and most everything that could be
classed as good changed hands in fair
season.
Beef steers were sought after this morn
ing, especially the better gra.tes. The more
desirable loads changed hands quite readily
at prices that were pretty generally 10c
higher than yesterday. There was a good
sprinkling of cornfeds, although a good
share of them were only wanned up. There
were also a few rangers among the re
ceipts. Cows and heifers of the better grades
were free sellers at prices that were strong
to lOo higher. 'The common to medium
grades were rather slow and inclined to
drag at no more than steady prices.
Good feeders were free sellers, the same
as they have been, for some time back, and
prices tonay were generally ioc higher than
yesterday. A feeder buyer paid aa high as
$5.25 for very good stuff. The common and
trashy kinds were extremely hard to move,
tha same as they have been every day of
late. The country does not appear to care
for that kind and receivers meet with a
great deal of difficulty in unloading sup
plies. Quotations on cattle: Good to choice

SH EIOI' There was a larger run of sheep
than yesterday and the quality was the
beat that it has born In a long time. In
fact, there were some of both sheep and
lambs that were the best that have been
seen tn the yards so rar this season. The
market on desirable killers, tth sheep and
liimhs. woo safely Uijl5c higher, but the
better quality of the offerings made the
sales on iwper look even 26c higher. As a
matter of fact, however, It would hardly
be safe 10 quote the market for the two
days as more than 26c higher than last
week. The trade was active and dt-slrable
kinds changed hail. la very readily at pre
vailing prices
Ther was quite a little sprinkling of
feeders nnd they sold generally at alKiut
stonly prices.
While strictly good kinds of killers are
both active and higher, it would be well
for the country to understand that com
mon to medium kinds and anything on the
half-ftit order is nut wanted by the pack
ers. It Is the worst kind of a mistake for
feeders to send In anything that Is not
thoroughly finished for the market, as they
can depend upon lis selling to poor advan
tage, yutte a good many very burry shei p
and lambs are coming forward, and It
would be well to understand that buyers
generally make a difference of as much us

FABLE OF BIG BLUFF CALLED
Mrs. Ti-teeTod Certainly Gets Her
Hnbby on the Karly Shop,
plnat Story.
"Great: Great!" cried Jonas Tytswod of
West Farnam street as he looked up from .
his Evening Bee.
"What's great?" asked his wife. "The
corn show?"
"No, I mean yes, but I wasn't talking
about that. I mean this campaign to make
people buy their Christmas presents early.
"It's fine, you know. Think of the poor
clerks struggling with a very avalanche of
shoppers just before Christmas who haya
been loo lazy or indifferent to shop in the
time when they could with more comfort
to the.mselves and the clerks."
"You say It's fine that they should be
so troubled?" asked Mrs. Tytewod.
"Your comedy drags, madam," snorted
ner mmuana. ' i moan It is Tine that a
newspaper should push this campaign In
behalf of the great army of clerks who
have to deal with hundreds and hundreds
of nagging or supercilious women or worst
of all those who think they are funny."
What novelists call a dangerous gleam
entered Mrs. Tytewod's eye. "You are
right, Jonas, you often sre, you know, end
I think that I myself had better get at it
right away. Please give me $50."
This fable teaches that a Big Bluff will
Sometimes be Called.
Here endeth No. 3. of the great "Buy
'em early series."
