CHICAOO, ' Deo.' : IS. The government re
port giving the final estimate on the wheat
crop of the United States for 19o8 today
checked 4 lie declining tendency of price In
the wheat market and caused a firm tone
nt the finish, final' quotation showing net
gain of Jic to Corn and provision
cloned steady and eat easy.
The government report, which was made
public five! mlhutes prior to the close of
the session, caused active covering by
shorts, enlivening an otherwise dull day.
Prices rallied .sharply as a result of the
demand, advancing lo from the low point
of the day. According; to -of flclal statistics,
the total yield . of wheat In the United
States is1 approximately ,000,000 tu. In ex
cess of the previous' estimate, but It had
been generally expected that final estimate
would indicate a much larger Increase.' Tho
market va also bulllshly. affected by ad
vices from Argentina... which, claimed that
harvest operations Were being delayed by
wot weather. The market displayed weak
ness early In the day, owing to decline
at all the leading grain market of Europe

for the fall-sown .crop of wheat . ,ln this
country. ' The close was firm at almost the
best figure of the day, with May at 11.95V
it'1.054 and July at ;o. There was a fair
demand for cash wheat at unchanged prices,
millers and warehouses taking the bulk of
the ' offerings. Clearance of wheat and
flour were equal to 615.000 bu. The world's
visible supply, as shown by Bradstreet's,
decreased 3,213,000 bu.
The corn market was firm the greater

VALUIS ABE INCLINED TO DRAG
Rsssert Dae to Raying by Short
Ca ase Occaalnnal Rallies -Proposed
Raise la Freight Rates
Ma Bad Effect.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15. The money market
showed the effects of diminishing supply
and the increasing demands. The .sub-
treasury a absorption from the banks of a
little over $l,0i.000. hlthough moderate by
comparison with the day before, brought
tne casn loss on that account for the bang
ing week up to $16,399,000, , which la but a
little less than the figure of the surplus
reserves as shewn In the -bank statement
on Saturday. Payments continue on ao
count of subscriptions to the Panama canal
bonds. Preparations were in progress toilay
for applications fnr the Braxliian " coffee
loan, of which a $10,000,000 apportionment
will be offered In New York tomorrow.- .'
The market was not without stinnort -at
different stages, which made a drag on the
decline and caused occasional rallies. The
rising Interest rates for call money and the
lessened Inclination of lenders to place
funds in' that way hampered the speculative-
buying and left the way open to the
force operating for a decline.. The appoint
ment of a commission by Governor llugnes
to probe the methods and practices ot
speculative dealings was made of opportune
use by the bear party, although a substan
tial element of the Stock exchange mem
bership welcomed the work thus sefc on
foot. There were some happenings which
reinforced the bears In their attack Which
laid large stress on the offsetting of -tariff
revision, especially of the steel schedules.
The examination by the ways and means
committee of the house of important steel
men gave point to this contention. Part
of the acute weakness shown by American
Smelting in the last few days haa been
attributed to the proposition to reduce the
tariff on lead. A bad effect was produced
by the reports of the Increasing agitation
of the proposition of the railroads to ad
vance freight rates and over the extensive
Increase said to be Involved In the changes
proposed to the Interstate Commerce com
mission. A reduction In copper quotations
at the New York Metal exchange was a
factor In the depression shown by the metal
Industrials. The disclaimer put out by the
Pennsylvania railroad of the reports of
placing It steel rail order for the year was
the cause of some disturbance, as the hold
ing back ot that Order la of Influence on
the business of all the other railroads. A
much more active demand was reported for
time loans and less was offered, resulting
In advancing rates, in consonance with the
rise to 4 per cent In call loans. The firmer
money market reduced the demand for
remittance of funds to foreign centers and
weakened the exchange market. Expected
engagements of gold for export, therefore,
Were not made. The considerable demand
to cover shorts at the end of the day was
testimony to the professional origin of much
of the selling.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$6,164,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle Tuesday
were very large, S44 cars being reported
In. Of all the stuff here, however. It was
very hard to find anything really
desirable. The receipts were made
up of semlngly the trash or off
scourings of the whole country. Even
warmed-up cattle ot fair quality were
few and far between. There have been
few times In the history of the market
when a greater aggregation of traab has
been gotten together than was here Mon
day and Tuesday. There seemed to be a
food demand for desirable killers, in fact,
or desirable cattle of all kind, but the
scarcity that haa prevailed here has held
price up to a very high point, so high In
fact that warmed-up cattle are bringing
Practically Chicago prices. With advices
rom other selling point non too favor
able and with the quality of the cattle such
aa It was. It was not surprising that the
market Tuesday opened very slow and
dull, with the feeling decidedly weak.
wnen Duyers iinany got down to busi
ness it was on a basis of about steady
prices for the best killing cattle, both
steers and cows. On the other hand.
everything excepting th best wa safely
lOfrl&c lower and slow to move.
There was oonsiaeraDie inquiry for good
fleshy feeders, but all other kinds were
slow and dull from start to finish.

ness, preferring apparently to wait for de
velopments Instead of filling order early.
When the market finally opened the beat
hogs were pic-Ked out nere and there, a
load cr two at a time, at prices that were
steady to possibly a trifle stronger. In
othsr words, the prices paid for the good
hogs were largely at $0.45(6.66. On th
other hand they were very slow to take
bold of th common to medium kind and
the forenoon wa far advanced before any
thing like a clearance was made.
The market closed very slow and dull,
with common light hogs 6ft lOo lower and
with the general run ot hog selling all the
way from $6.30 up to $5.60. The sales on
paper showed very little change as com
pared with Saturday's market. One very
choice load sold up a high as $5.70, the top
price of the day.

there were also quite a good many strictly
