Favorable Oatlnrik for Fnll Sown Wheat Crop Weakens Market. CHICAOO, Dec. B. Favorable weather for the fall-sown crop of wheat In the 1'nlteii States had 11 weakening effect to day on the local wheat market, but buying by shorts censed the market to close steady lit almost the Identical figures of the previ ous close. Oats, corn and provisions were firm. Bullish enthusiasm was almost entirely lacking In the wheat pit today, sentiment Hmong pit traders generally being rather bearish. The weather bureau predicted rain or snow for the greater part of the winter wheat belt and this forecast was mainly responsible for the heavy tone which pre vailed nearly all day. leading bulls were apparently neither buying nor selling, and In consequence, trade was dull and prices fluctuated within a rather narrow range. Jtecelpla in the northwest were again light, although the movement Is still heavier than at the corresponding time a year ago. Ar gentina advices Indicated wet weather was delaying harvesting in the northern district, but the qualltv of wheat already harvested was snld to be fair. There was almost no tlemand for cash wheat anil prices were steady. The market -cloned steady, with prices a shade lower to a shade higher.

Intimation that Ilarrlman'a Inflaenee Was the atlmalatlna; Factor, Althooah .o Aathorlty Was Offered. NEW YORK. Dec. 5. Violent fluctuations and excited speculation in a limited num ber of stocks were the fruit of the circula tion of rumors which lacked confrmation The movement In the stocks Immediately affected had so much of an appearance of artificiality that stock were sold In other portions of the list and. the price move ment was thus made Irregular and con fused and at last acutely weak. The Wa bash group was conspicuous on the ground of rumors of a coming plan for financing the needs of the group In which, It was lniimaiea, me inriuence of E. H. Harrlman would be seen. It waa this Intimation tnat was the principal stimulating influence on the group, although no authority was offered for the report. The spasmodic movement In Kansas City Soutnern seemed based on no other consideration than that It had not moved previously to an extent commensurate with other low-priced stocks. Its consecutive rise of five points gave way to a reaction In which sales wero made In succession at concessions of as much as 1.&0 a share. The speculation was diverted into Reading by a rumor that the second preferred was to be exchanged half Into first preferred and half Into common stock, as provided In the terms of Issue, and the common stock to be placed on a higher dividend basis. This la a rumor many times repeated In me pnsi ana it round no ofilclal confirma tion today. Pennsylvania enjoyed some ad vantage from the report that the dispute with its locomotive engineers had been put on a basis for discussion. The obvious ef fort to take advantage of these sustaining far-tore to effect realising sales decided tho ultimate downward course of the market. Unfavorable reports from Vienna of the outlook In the Balkans had some depressing effect. Another Increase in surplus freight cars for the half month ending November 25 reported by the American Railway asso ciation, was not liked and waa coupled with the opinions expressed by several railroad officials that buying of railroad equipment would be slight for the Immediate future. The bank statement gave abundant testi mony to the effects of the withdrawals of cash for export of gold and for restitution of government deposits and of the bond flotations of the week. It Is manifest also, that with the more profitable money rates the trust companies have become lenders on an enlarged scale. The actual condition of the clearing house banks shows a de crease of t9.ol,400 in the loan item, al though the dally average for that item, however. Is KHO.200; but the t20.587.tioO loan expansion of the hanks outside the clearing house and the trust companies Indicates the force of the week's demand. Preparations for the day's subscriptions to the Panama canal bonds figured In part in the result. The decrease in the cash holdings of the banks waa larger than the preliminary estimate and It is believed that the trust companies are responsible also for these withdrawals, in preparation for January disbursements. In consequence of this action the week's clearing house balances rose to $119,149,530, which consti tutes a record. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,5(,O0O.

Investment business on a moderate scale hits been the chief aup- ; port of the Stock exchange markets during ino lani ween. ojmh -uiaiirm nan twr-ir pi av tii ally dead, principally because of the con tinuance of the unsettled conditions in the near east. Japanese and Chinese bonds attracted inm-used attention and showed good Improvement on the agreement be tween the Cnllt-d States and Japan, while British securities were helped by the Amer ican shipments of gold to Pails which, It was hoped, would result in reducing the Paris demands on London and enable the Bank of England to get the weekly goid arrival and thus offset the Argentina and Egyptiun shipments. It was hoped at the same time that this American gold would prevent a rise, in tho bank rate of dis count. The closing tone today was generally easy on unfavorable rumors from the contlnt-nt regarding the situation In the near east. American securities shared In the pre vailing dullness. The low-priced Issue spurted early In the week, but the enthusi asm died out later and Berlin took its profits, which cause.d a setback. The news from Wall street did not en courago a fresh commitment, and the mar ket here followed New Yorka lingular movement, prices rlorfing from one pnint lower to two points higher than last Satur day. Wabash preferred wa an exception, being eight points dearer. C'learlua; House Bank Statement. NEW YORK, Dee. 5.

For the week receipts have been fairly liberal, being about on a par with last week's rec ord and a little larger than a year ago. The week started out with corn-feds In active demand and selling quite a llttlo stronger. Since then the farket haa eased off so that at the close corn-fod cattle are generally Just about steady with last week. One choice bunch of steer weighing 1.675 pounds reached $7.10 on Friday which was the highest price paid since last Sep tefber. Range beeves of good quality have been active sellers throughout the week and are generally quoted lottflic higher than last week's close, although the feeling waa a little weak on Friday. Cows and heifer having quality have sold pretty well throughout the week, and at the close It Is hardly possible to note any quotable change as compared with a week ago. At the beginning of the week the trade was active and a little bit stronger, but that advance has practically disappeared. Fair to medium grade have eased off during the latter part of the week and are a little lower than last week, common canner being especially slow and unsatisfactory sellers. The best grades of feeder were active I sellers throughout the week, commanding gooo, strong prices every aay. Jtt int) close they are safely iu 15c higher than a week ago. On the contrary, the medium kind of feeder and the common and trashy light kinds have been slow and hard to move every day at prices that were unsatis factory.

J2.264j4.25. HCXiS The receipts of hog today were very liberal for a Saturday and the market opened with a good shipping demand for the better grades. Burn loads aa found favor In the eyea of shippers commanded steady or very close to steady prices. On the other hand, packers' order did not appear at all urgent, and, as a rule, they were holding back, and when shipper had filled their orders the n-arket became gen erally 6ti'10c lower than yesterday. Thus while strictly gocd hog sold up as high as tV SO, a considerable proportion of the receipts went at to oOruS. r0. The total receipts of hogs this week show a gain over last wetk of almost M.0O0 head, and a gain over the corresponding week of last year of about Z).'lt head. In rther words, the receipts this week have been almost double what they were a ycur ago. The week started out with a good stiff advance, hogs selling decidedly lilgler again on Tuesday. Since that day the tendency has been downward, until tr day, when the advance of the week was all wiped out and 111' re, too. leaving the n-arket a shade easier than It v.us at the close of last week.

A-1188. 1st Floor N. Y. Life Bldg. 8HEEH-Kecelpts of sheep this morning were limited to a few lambs, which sold very readily at a gor.il, steady price, fi.tio oeing pain for good fed westerns. The re ceipts this week have been very llheral, showing a heavy gain over the previous week and over the corresponding week i f last year. At the same time the supply ot really desirable killers has been . by no means lurge; on the contrary, packer have eomplained of the surplus ot Inforior grades and the scarcity of finished slock. I'nder tho influence of a very good demand for finished killers and the moderate supply, the market throughout the week has been strong and In a good, healthy and en tirely satisfactory condition from start to finish. Lambs are a big 25 hm-liei; in fact, the best lambs this week have ac tually sold 3oc higher than the top of last week. Choice light yearlings have also been very strong seller, the In-at grades reaching 16 50, which was considerably higher than anything brought last week, but, possibly, there u ome difference In the quality. Wether and erne alio sold to good advantage. Theabove.lt must be borne in mind, ap plies to strictly well finished sheep ana lambs. Half-fat and unfinished kind have been alow aoller throughout the week, being neglected hy both packers and feeder buyers, and It would he well for shippers to hoed the warning against sending in un flnishril stor k, as it Is not wanted and Is bound to sell at unsatisfactory prices. I lie trade In reeding sheep and lamD has nut been very active this week, though what few that have uirlved have sold at good, Mt inly prices. The demand, how ever, has not been very urgent. The em bargo on eastern shipments on account of loot and moutn itis.-a.se lias reduced the demand to a considerable extent. Quotations on sbe p and lambs: G.iorl to rhnloe lambs. JetJf-rivi.
