Favorable Oatlook (or Fall Sown
WkMt Crop Weakest Market.'
CHICAGO, Deo. 8. Dupllcaling yester
day's sharp decline, wheat prices on the
docal exoiiange broke approximately 2c
per bushel today aa a result of general sell
ing, but excepting- on the December dellv
cry, all the loss was later regained and
the market closed fairly steady. Corn
closed steady, oat were strong and pro
vision steady.
Following a moderately firm ooenlnaT.
due to covering by shorts and buying by
bull leaders, tho wheat market developed
decided weakness toward, the end of the
first hour, owing to renewed selling based
upon the bearish showing of the govern
ment report. Before - the decline 'was
checked prices had dropped lV'ii'c from the
high point of the day. The selling was ap
parently overdone ana wnen leading noia
era began to buy again prices readily re
bounded to almost their former Dosltlon,
Prices at tha close were 141o higher to
o lower, uto uecember delivery Deing rel
atively the weakest month. Final quota
tions on December were (1.03. and on May
1.08(&LOe. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 279,000 bushels. Primary re

Lluuidation of the Deoemberrv delivery.
whk'H rarrlsd the price of that option -down
more than lo atvd weakened the market In
general, was the 'feature of trader-ln' the
corn pit. Increased receipts and oontlnud
favorable weather for. the marketing of the
grain were the chief reasons for the selling
pressure. All of the loss on future deliv
eries was regained late In the day, but the
December delivery at' the close was still
4o below the -previous close. The market
closed steady, wKh December at C9(uWiie
and May at ts. luteal receipts were 63
cars, with IS' of contract grade.
The aevere slump In wheat caused moder
ate weakness in oets early In the day,- but
a substantial rally occurred during the last
half of the session, the market closing
strong with prices H to WVko above yes
terday's final quotations. Final quotations
on December were &0'4c, and on May 627c.
Local receipts were 131 cars. -
Provisions were quiet and steady, al
though sentiment was a trifle barleh as a
result of continued liberal receipts of live
hogs. At the close prices were 2a higher
to o lower.

WEATHER IN THE GRAIN BELT
Warmer for the
Fair and Slightly
Corn Show.
OMAHA. Dec. 8, 1908.
The cold wave that swept over the cen
tral valleys Sunday continued eastward
during the last twenty-four hours and has
spread over the Ohio valley, lower Lake
region and the eastern and southern states.
The weather Is very much warmer In the
upper Lake region, the upper Mississippi
and the Missouri valleys and is slightly
warmer In the mountain district. Cloudy
conditions prevail east of the Mississippi
river and light snows are falling In the
upper Liake region and extreme upper Mis
sissippi valley; Generally clear Weather
Frevails west of the river to the mountains,
t la cloudy on the Pacific slope, with
rains In western Montana, Idaho and west
to the coast. The pressure Is high ' over
the entire country, except along the north
ern boundary, and conditions are favor
able for continued fair in this vicinity
tonight and Wednesday, with slightly
warmer.

NEW Y'ORK, Dec. 8 The diminishing
volume of business snd the narrowing
range cf the price fluctuations are evidence
of the growing professionalism of the stock
market. Another indication of the same
state of affairs is the short duration of a
price movement In one direction. The
professionals move prices with difficulty
and are satisfied to tak small profits.
This Is true of the usual mediums of ac
tive speculation, stocks of a large flouting
Kupply and fairly representative of gen
eral financial conditions and tendencies,
which, by reason of their unwieldly bulk,
are difficult to make responsive to artifi
cial devices except by employment of the
largest resources. In a less representative
class of stocks, hr.wever. of small capttall
gatton and , controlling business of more
restricted scope, there continue to be strik
ing movements, often without any develop
ment In explanation beyond the decision of
poMrd holders of blocks of the' stock to
establish higher quotations.
The presentation of tho president's annual
message to congress, being the principal
event of the day, was seised upon for at
tempted use as a motive force for price
movement. Stocks were bid up on the
assumption that the effect of the recom
mendations of the mesHsite would be favor
able to values. The substance of the docu
ment was accurately known beforehand
In many brokers' offices. Its effectiveness
as a stimulant to new operations In stocks
proved to have been overestimated, as
shown by the decrease in activity of the
dealings after Its appearnnce and the
drooping tendency of prices. In view or
the extent of the reiteration of views In
the message, in many Instances covered by
citation of the president, It was not Bur
prising that lack of material for new specu
lative decision should bo found.- The iaet
of Its being the last annual messege of an
outgoing executive also militated ugalnat
Its effectiveness as nn Instrument for
speculative uses. Satisfaction was caused,
however, by the denunciation of the folly
of the effort to prohibit all combinations
contained in the anti-trust law, but this
satisfaction was modified by the advic
to give to some agency of tho government
full power of control and supervision of
such combinations as inlpht be permitted,
The recommendation to place telctrraph anil
telephone companies under thu Jurisdiction
of the Interstate Commerce commission
conduced to the weakness in Western
i:rlon, although loss by a fire and ex-
fressed doubts over recent reports of an
Mention to advance the dividend rate had
an effect on that stock. Its movement was
In direct contrast to oiler so-called Gould
stocks, which were classed for market pur
posts today with the Harrimans on tha
assumption of Increased liarrlman In
fluence In the group by reason of financial
aid extended. Harrlman stocks were the
sustaining feature of the market and Erie
was Included In the group ii. the earn
manner as was the Oold group.
Foreign exchange rates advanced again,
but there , was an advance also In the
sterling rate at Paris, leaving the gold
export position little changed.

CATTLE Cattle receipts were fair for a
Tuesday, 243 cars being reported in. Trains
were rather late in arriving at the yards
which hindered the trade to some extent,
but still the market, as a whole, wan rea
sonably active and the most of the offer
ings changed hands In fair season.
There was & good, demand for desirable
beef cattle, both natives and westerns, and
the prices at which the offerings changed
hanas looked about steady witn yesterday,
in fact it wouldi bo a difficult matter to
point out any nptewortliy change-In any
direction.
There Were perhaps from nlnty on 100
cars of cows and heifers on sale, and they
changed hands at about steady prices.
While the trade was not par tit alar ly ac
tive, there was a fair demand and the
cattle kept sellifig so that a reasonably
early clearance was effected.
No noteworthy change took place in the
alockers or feeders trade. Good cattle were
fil demand, the same as they have been
every day for some little-time back and
anything of that description sold very
readily at prices entirely satisfactory to
owners. On the other hand the light and
trashy' kinds were slow, the same ub they
hava been all the time.

apparent that receipts were not as large as
expected and as It developed that there
was a very fair outside buying; demand,
ackers raised their hands until the market
became lust about sleadv on the desirablu
loads. Inferior stuff was a little Blow and
weak and in some extreme rases possibly 5c
lower, but, generally speaking-, tne market
was not much different trom yesterday.
The bulk sold around 45.3516.50 and on up
to $5.65. While It was a littlo late in gcttinK
started the market was reasonably active
when once underway and most everything
nanged hands In very fair season.

lambs, there not being any very great
number of desirable killing sheep in sight.
tne marxec as a wnota Old not snow any
very noteworthy change In any direction.
Fortunately there was a good demand for
rat lamps ana anything m the way of de
sirable killers sold very readily at good
firm prices. As high as $6.60 was paid
for good westerns. The trade waa mora
active than yes Lor da v. so that the com
paratively few loads on sale were soon
disposed of. On the other hand, sheep
were not such free sellers, the trade on
that kind being a little slow, but still d
sirable kinds commanded steady prices.
Thus good light yearlings sold up to 15.50
which was as high aa has lx-n paid for
that kind of stuff so far this season.

BEST DIVORCE LAW IS NONE
View of a Maa froas Nrfh Carol 104
Which, lias No Sack
Statat.
" .
"I notice by sn item In Ths Bee that the
Omaha Bar association is worklpK tor cer
tain amendments calculated 'to strengthen
tha divorce laws,"' remarked A. W. Carey
of North Carolina, who Is a guest at thai
Paxton. "I am Inclined to think that my
stale Is tha ideal state In respect to di
vorces. The fact Is North Carolina has lux,
sort ot divorce laws, Couples may separata,'
but there is no way they can have the)
marriage bond annulled becaikse there in
no statute authorizing it, and there never
has boen, and I doubt if there ever will be.
Between this extreme and the easy divorce
laws 1 am inclined to think out way tha
best,"
