OMAHA. Dec. 11, 1908.
There was but little change in the wheat
Hltuatlon. Tho pit element oonUi.'les to
hold bearish regardless of the big drop In
the last few days. There seems to te a
better demand from millers and undoubt
edly the visible supply began to decrease
and should place value In a stronger
Dosltlon.
Corn Is still tieavy and sagging steadily

Wheat went down on loners selling and
the weak corn . market. Minneapolis mid
outside markets were off a cent, helping
to weaken this market. Liverpool came
higher, but did not avail the bears' attack.
Ixscember wheat opened at 96ic and
closed at Mc.
Corn proved fearfully weak and Bold
lower easily with no resistance. Heavy
receipts and a lack of demand, coupled
with liberal country offerings, took all the
gimp out of the corn valuea and the lin.p
was fast. December corn opened at b2c
ana cioeea at UVM.
Primary wheat recelpta were 638,000
bushels and shipments were 163.000 bushels,
against recelpta last year of 8S8.O00 bushels
ana shipments of 490,000 bushels.
Corn reoelpts were 793,000 bushels and
shipments were 224,000 bushels, ugainst re
ceipts last year of 4,o bushels and ship
menis ol BW.UJO bushels.
Clearances were 3j9,ooO bushels of corn,
6.000 bushels of oats and wheat and flour
equal to 310.000 bushels.
Liverpool closed unchanged to d higher
on wheat and unchanged to Hd lower on
corn.
Seaboard reported 288,000 bushel of wheat

CHICAGO. Dec. 11. General liquidation
caused extreme weakness today In the
local wheat market, prices at the close
being 1V1lC below yesterday's final quo
tations. Corn and oat and provisions also
closed weak.
The wheat market was nervous during
the first part of the day and at times
prices were a trifle above the previous
close, but during the final hour extreme
weakness developed and the market closed.
at almost the lowest point. The .May ue
livery ranged during the day between
11.06 and. fl.07 and July between 9Sc and
31.00. The close on May was at tl.06VrU.067,
and July wo. Influential selling was in
evidence during the last part of the day
and the big bolders were credited with
selling freely, although It was difficult to
determine the starting point of much of the
offering. Northwestern interests were said
to have sold heavily here, but much of this
selling was thought to 'have been for local
Interests. The weakness of coarse grains
and the continuance of favorable oondi
tions for the fall sown crop of wheat in
. this country were depressing factors. Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
310.000 bu.
Corn waa weak throughout the entire ses
slon. The market closed weak at almost
the lowest point, with prices off V'mlo.
Final quotations on December were at 67
(uxw's.o and on May tuc.
Oats were weak. The market closed weak
at declines of Ho to t'lc, with December
604o and May &2,&62c.
Belling by local packers caused weakness
In the provisions market. The weakness
of corn and 6tf'10c decline in live hogs were
bearish factors. The market closed weak,
wan prices ioovkg lower.

NEW YORK. - Dec. 11. The running up
of the arold enanB-ements for shipment to
France tomorrow to the sum of $.1.9.0"0
took the edire off the speculative temper
today and a cons'rersl1 unloading of
stocks resulted In the latter part of the
dav. Th lesson of the gold shipment was
strenethened by the preliminary estimates
of the week's currency movement, from
which It appeared that practically no g;iln
On balance from the Interior had occurred
to offset the absorption or 5.91S.OOO by tho
subtreasury operations of tho week. None
of the gold taken for export has figured
vet In the subtreaanrv onerat otis. the it
feet therefore being deferred to next week s
bank statements rather than In tho showing
to be published tomorrow afternoon. Tho
payments 'of subscriptions to tho Panama
rana.1 bonds hnve not yet commenced to
figure In the auhtreasiry operations, leav
ing another money requirement to be met
It Is not unusual for the temporary nc-
cumulatlon of funds to prepare for the year
ena nsoursements to make some strain on
tho money market and to involve the call
ing' of loans.
The expandftir tendency of th loan Item
of the banks also continues. With the sur
plus reserve of the honks last Flnturday
standing at but little over $a),iio0,niO, there
was presented, by this rapid summing up
of requirements, a rate of Inroad upon that
sum which suddenly appeared somewhat
prodigal. The fueling of confidence that
the interval to the easy money markets of
January could be bridged without special
care in retrenchment of outlay waa some
what disturbed by this development and
some hasty retirements from stock com
mitments followed. Tho small effect pro
duced on the exchange market by the gold
engagements gave an Impression of a still
unfilled requirement which Indicated a
likoiihood of the continuance of the gold
outgo. It Is supposed that, besides the
very heavy inflow from abroad of Amerl
enn securities at the high prices lately pre
vailing, the conduct of the speculative cam
paign has Involved some largo carryings of
stocks In foreign .markets with money bor
rowed In those markets. With the approach
of the year-end requirements foreign lend
ers are disposed, It Is believed, to reduce
tho accommodations of this kind. Rills are
scarce In the exchange market with which
to effect remittances and the shipments ot
gold are found necessary to meet the occa
sion. The amount of the shipment todny
was limited only by the supply of bar gold
procurable at the assnv of f ce and foreign
bankers assume from the sustained strength
of foreign exchange that gold will be
shipped next week to a considerable
amount. A falling off In wheat exports
this week of 2.34ii,765 bushels from Inst week
and In corn of 7(16,206 bushels helps to ex
plain tho scarcity of exchange bl'ls. The
money market became active and firmer
with these developments, the demand being
most notable for the shorter period. There
was also less demand for mercantile paper
and some Increase in the discount on this
was recorded. The call money rate was
stiffer, but the act'ial lending rate was but
little affected. The sporadic casta of
strength In the earlier stock market hnd

as that E. H. Harrlmnn is to Join the
Wabash directorate, that Chesnpetke &

CATTLE (Receipts of cattle

being reported In. That means that there
Were hartHy enough cattle here to excite
very much interest or make much, of a
market.
There aeemed to bo somo inquiry for beef
cattle, but the market was without new
or Interesting features. The prices for the
most part seemed to be Just about steady
with yesterday and the trade was sum
ciently active to clean up the desirable
stuff in nrettv fair season.
HeaJlv- irood cows seemed to be a little
strong, if anything, but the general run of
cow stuff waa no more than steady and.
waa the caa with steers, the market was
urnctleallv featureless.
The trade in feeders was very limited, as
usual so near the close of the Week. A
few eood cattle sold pretty well, but the
heavy snowstorm that set In about the
time the maiket opened would naturally
limit the demand, as buyers are not anxious
to load up on cattle to be carried over to
next week in tlie face of a storm.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Retail Demand for Holiday Goods and
Winter Apparel is Attire.
COLLECTIONS ARE MORE PROMPT
Ample Rain
Marts Idle
InI
In Many Section!
Machinery tin lid-
Operations Continue
to Rapand.
NEW YORK, Dec. ll.-R. O. Dun Ac
Co.'s weekly review of trada tomorrow will
say:
Retail trade Is active In holldav goods
and winter wenring apparel, while whole
sale and Jobbing departments are season
ably quiet, but there Is good movement on
old orders and manufacturing operations
are not curtailed.
Ample rain In many sections has started
much ldl machinery, whil statements of
building permits continue to show gratify
ing gains, although operations In the north
west are interrupted by severe weather
Mercantile collections are more prompt.
SHEEP Receipts of sheep this morning
were small again today and the total for
the week Is running very much behind last
week's record, although not very much be
hind last year. The receipts this morning
inciuueu somo good amors. t ne demand.
as lias been the case every day tins week
was t very acuve, especially ior gooa tat
lambs, and the market on that kind was
safely loldc higher. In fact, good western
lambs sold as high as ii.Za, wiiiuli was 2oo
higher than anything brought yesterday
and the highest price paid on this market
since last May. Sheep were also In very
fair demand and everything desirable met
with ready sale at strong prices. Thus
strictly good western yearlings sold up to
$6.00, the highest price paid since last
June.
There were not enough feeders In sight
to talk about, but what few there were
commanded steady prices.
