CLOSING VALUES AEE HIGHEST Ramor of Absorption or Transform, tloa of A' amber of ayatems by Harrlmaa Interests Featar of the Day's Sews. NEW YORK. Dec. 22. There was some shrinkage of activity In the stock market today In connection with the recovery, but the closing was very active, and the tone buoyant at the top prices. The feature of tha "market was the circulation of rumors of propose absorptions and rehabilitation of railroad systems. E. II. Harrlman, whose surpesed critical condition of health figured In the Imagination of speculators yesterday In ccnnectlon with their heavy selling of stocks, resulted in a very bad state of affairs today and was permeating the rallroadr map of the country with his rrcjects of combination ' and transforma tion. On the one hand it was confidently assured that he was planning the rehabili tation of the Wabash system and devising Its combination with smim outlet, prefer ably the Lackawannn or the. Erie. In an other quarter the . retirement of President Newman from the New York Central might bo opening the way for Mr. Harrlman's expected entry into informal activity in that property. An lrcldent was to be the hitching lip of the Toledo, Bt. Louis A Western with the New York Central lines for a new connection Into the southwest. There was great activity in' all the se curities of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas. fixing the present assumption that the sale or tne Colorado & Southern to the Chicago, Burlington & Qufncy was a fair Index of what was to happen t6 other southwestern railroads with a gulf outlet and eligible for combination with r.orthern and north western roads.- The brilliant advance in the market price of the Colorado & South rrn mortgage securities, with the assurance of such perfect auspices for the affairs of the company as the Burlington, offered an attractive proor of ttie advantages to.ac crue from such Rmnsamffnta. A considerable short interest has been built up In the market In the course of the sharp fall In prices which has occuried ince last weeK and buying to cover was i neip io tne'anvance. This wns In evl dence In the rise in markets for which stock there had been purchased apparently large options. In the London market. the monev outlook and thn com ng tariff discussion still entered into the current discussion, but not with such effect as with the incoming reports yesterday of Mr. Carnegie s testimony In the tariff hearing. rxeany xiau.wu in gold was engaged to go forward to Paris tomorrow and the sub- treasury continues to ahanrb nimntltUo from the banks, with the prospect of this dralrl Increasing with some shipments toward the end of the week of subscrip tions to Panama canal bonds.

Small receipta In the northwest - caused strength in the wheat market today: ' final Quotations showing net gains of &lc. Corn and oats also closed , firm, and provisions steady. Trade in the wheat pit was not of large vftium hut aontlment was bullish throughout the entire day. The strength of the markets at Minneapolis and Du luth tvas the chief factor in tne situation. The firmness of the northwestern mar kets was due mainly to the continued falling off- in receipts. Arrivals at those two points today were 250 cars, against 4JtJ cars the corresponding day u year ago. and advices received today forecasted atlll smaller receipts in the, near future. An advance' of ri 4i' in the price of wheat at Liverpool had, a strengthening Influ ence early in the day. Shorts were active bidders for ' the December delivery end It opened stronger, with May at 11.06 and July at 98o. Exports of five boat loads were reported at the seaboard. There was a fair demand for' cash wheat here and prices were steady. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 280,000 bushels. The world a visible supply decreased ouu, 000 bushels. The corn market was firm nearly all day. The principal activity was in the December delivery and the price of that option fluctuated over a Ihio range.

Totals 3,086 6,928 2,803 CATTLE Receipts of cattle continue quite moderate, and as several trains were late in arriving this morning, there was at no time very many cattle on sale. Sttll, there was a total of 117 cars reported In, out tne yaras are so large that 100 cars make only a small showing. The market as a whole was In a good, healthy condi tion. Packers were Inquiring after desirable beef steers and the market on that kind was reasonably active-and a ltttle stranger again than yesterday. Under the Influence ot tne very light runs the market Is rapidly recovering from last week's break. Still, the demand Is not very heavy. It being ilium or less limned as usual at tne noiiday season. Common kinds especially are not uuiini atter. Cows and heifers also sold to good ad vantage, Deing generally a littlo stronger than yesterday. Anything at all desirable sold very freely at current prices and the offerings for the most part changed hands in gooa season. What few stocWs and feeders, there were met wuii very readv sale at irmirl strong prices. Cattle of that kind have not advanced as much as killers, largely for the reason that they did not decline last week and were plenty high enough to be gin witn.

On the other hand the general market was Just about steady, with yesterday. While the trade was not patrlcularly active, there was a fair movement and the most of the hogs sold In pretty decent season. The prices paid ranged largely irom eo.aj ,up to 86.60, with the beat'hogs on up as high as 85.70. SHEH.P Receipts tnis morning were small, only about fourteen cars being re ported In. Of tnis number four cars were consigned through and not offered for sale, Of the remainder four cars were feeder lambs which sold at 86.16 and two cars were feeder wethers, which brought 84.25. There were two loads of lambs aood enough for killers, which went to a. packer at 80.75 and there were also a few other little bunches that the packers could make use of. The prices paid lor teeoers looked as much as lmit'lSo higher. Fed lambs were also stronger again today, the sales look lng 25fc0c higher than last week. It would be well for the country to un derstand that lambs have made a very rapid recovery from last week's slump, due largely to the very light supply on the market. As a matter of fact the demand everywhere seems to be limited, buyers being not at all anxious for any great number of killers. Still with receipts so light prices have sprung upward, but the general feeling Is that anything like a lib eral run Is likely to bring about a reac tlon until the demand becomes larger.
