CHICAOO, Dec. 29 Argentine advices
formed the baala of a 1 cent advance In the
price of wheat here today. The market
cloaed strong at the top notch. Corn and
. oats also closed strong, but provisions were
wesk.
One of the factors aiding strength of
wheat was a cablegram from Argentina
stating that severe storms were doing con
siderable damage to the wheat crop. Other
advices from that' country confirmed pre
vious estimates of a comparatively small
- amount of wheat which will be available
i. lor "xport.- These reports transformed a
weak market Into one of decided strength.
At the opening prices were He to 3c
tho weakness being due to a decline of
i'viiov 10 pence at Liverpool, a rirmer
'" lone develnned IninrH the enrf at the flrat
ybour. and thrughotttthi Vehialhder of the
day sentiment In the pit continued to be
bullish. A special report on the fall sown
. crop of wheat In this country made by a
. local expert, who waa Inclined to doubt the
accuracy of the government statistics,
'' 'showed that the official figure placed the
' total acreage at 1.260,000 acres more than
7 waa claimed by this authority. This report
helped to strengthen the market. The mar-
, ket closed strong with all deliveries at the
highest point of the day, May being tl.07
and July at 99c. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 1H6.000 bushela. The
world's visible supply, as shown by Brad-
streets. Increased 72,000 bushels. Primary
receipts were 336.000 buahela, compared
with &06.000 bushels the corresponding day
' a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported total recelpta of 310 cars
against 28) last week and 421 a year ago.
A prospective falling off In receipts waa
, the chief Incentive to considerable buying
of corn by elevator Interests and shorts,
, which resulted In a strong market during
, . the last half of the day. The expectation
A of a decreased movement waa based mainly
on official forecast of unsettled weather
. for the corn belt, flight weakness was
, manifested early In the day. owing to
lower cables and the weakness ot wheat.
The market cloaed strong at the highest
point with prices up Ho to HWt: final
quotations on May betng at ftlH'ir&lHc and
, on July to. Dotal receipts were 448 cars,
with seven of contract grade.
The advance 1n wheat and corn Imparted
moderate flrmneaa to the oata market, but
the volume of trade waa extremely small.
v. The bulk of baslness was In the May de
livery. The market closed firm at the top
with prices up Hj4c to He compared with
the previous close, final quotations on May
-being at llTc. and on July 46c. Local re
ceipts were 197 cars.
Increased receipts of live hogs here and
at other western packing centers Induced
inouerate realising in provisions Dy local
long which caused a weak market
throughout the entire day. Prices at the
close were off 2H to cents.
Estimated recelpta for tomorrow: Wheat

NEW TORK. Dec. 29-The rate at which
prices started upward with the resumption
of dealings In stocks after the Christmas
holiday was not maintained on the second
day of operations. Just what sentiment of
opinion may have prompted the moder
ating of the movement Is nut clear, but a
subetantlal check was encountered In the
weignt or ths offering to sell. At th
enu or tne day one point losses were
numerous. There was some Dercentlon of
an Incongruity between the manner of the
scramble for stocks at the rapidly rising
puces, sucn as occurred yesterday and
the Investment demand which the move
ment is supposed to recrement. The genu

effect on railroad earnings to result from
100 pniiwsea advance in freight rates on
January 1. of which notice haa been filed
with the Interstate Commerce commission.
The amount of public agitation aroused
against this proposed advance came Into
larger consideration owing to reports of
the holding of mass meetings In California
iu iiroirni against tne Intended advances

officials displayed no more than a oulet
saiisraciion with the freight movement
and do not give expression to enthusiasm.
In the comparisons of reports of railroad
earnings with 4ast year from this time on
wards It Is pointed out that the com
parison Is with the slump In gross earn
ings following the panic, and while oper
ating expenses were still held at an ex
travagant level, as time hnt nof vaI hon
given to put Into effect measures of
economy. In other words, conditions at
this time last year and the period follow
ing were the moat unfavorable for the
railroads which have existed for many
years past, so that satisfaction with a
favorable contrast at this time will de
mand some restraint.
The Italian earthquake calamity brought
Tin direct pressure on the market, but
the sentimental effect of such great dis
asters Is depressing to property values
The news of the Balkan situation had
some disquieting effects. The decline In
sterling exchsnge here kept pace with
that at Paris, leaving the force of the
demand on our gold holdings about the
same. Money was offered freely In time
loans and rates declined. The closing tone
of the stock market was distinctly weak
after a day of hesitation.
Profit-taking was an Influence on some
of the speculative bonds, as well as stocks,

rather Irregular. Dealings were still on

evidently wanted fresh supplies of beef
steers the market took on a good, healthy
aapect. As to prices there was no very
marked change In any direction. Desirable

in ere was no great surplus or cows ana
heifers, in fact, buyers complained that tne
supply waa rather short, with the demand
good the trade was fairly active and pretty
mucn everything changed nanus in good
season. 1,41 te trains delayed the trade
somewhat, but the market as a whole was
quite satisfactory.
There were very few stockers and feeders
In sight, but such as there were sold to
good advantage, prices being very strong.
Feeder buyers helped out very materially
In taking quite a good many of the warmed
up cattle that packers did not appear very
anxious for.

HOOS A run of about 150 loads .of hnga
this morning was the signal for a decline
in prlcea. The quality was fairly good, the
moat of the atuff being on the desirable
older. Packer's demands were generally
light, so that they started In from the first
to pound the market, bidding early In the
morning fully 10c lower and later on 10c
or more, lower on all grades, especially
on the light, common kind. In some caaea
lla-ht atuff ahowed even a greater decline
than loc. but the general market may be
quoted as 10c lower, with a top at $5 90 and
the bulk from K.txxuo .10.

Contracts have been closed by II. D. Ko i
general eastern agent of tho Llmonrra com
pany with headviartern In the United
States National bank building, which will
make Omaha easily the leading distributing
point In the I'nited States for fruit.
From the offices on the third floor of
the building at Twelfth and Karnam atrert"
a business of more than $6,000,000 per year
is now done In fruits, and some 9,000 est a
California fruits are shipped to Omaha,
sold by Mr. Foye and! forwarded from here
each year, with the probability 'of Increas
ing this number to from 18.000 to 30,000 an
nually, which would be the largest part of
the California fruit sold east of the Rocky
mountains. ...
The contracts which have been closed
will enable Mr. Foye to handle about 80
per cent of the deciduous fruits ot Utah and
Colorado, especially those In the Grand
Junction district, which will mean that the
best fruits of thoao states will be shipped
to Omaha to be sold and distributed either
north, south or forwarded to the east.
Mr. Foye has been in Omaha ' almost
eleven years and haa built up tho immense
business In fruits within the last few yeara.

back through Ohio to Iowa, to' get fruita
from Omaha and get them cheaper and In
better condition than by shipping direct.
Handling such an Immense amount of
fruit through Omaha has also enabled the
distributers to dictate the routing Of the
cars, hurrying them Uirough and inspecting
them on arrival. If a car arrives in the
Omaha market which will not stand ship
ment to New York it Is sold near at hand
nd a loss prevented. If New York auction
market Is flooded with citrus fruits
from the south the ' California . fruits
are stopped at Omaha ant) sold to Sioux
City, Minneapolis, Grand Forks, and Win
nipeg or sent back Into the state, 'thus
helping the market to keep Its equilibrium
and preventing the loss of hundreds of cars
of fruit. '
While building up the Immense business
In Omaha Mr. Foye has been working with
his associates on a fiber shipping box and
the company has expended $250,000 equipping
plant which will make the boxeg, which
are far superior to the wooden box, and
these cases will be used to ship the fruit
to Omaha. The box will not break and is
such a solid shipping case that the fruits
packed In the boxes wilt at once be in de
mand. The railroad companies will be
saved thousands of dollars In claims for
damaged fruits and have been giving the
Omahans the heartiest co-operation in rush
ing fruit from California to Omaha that it
might be distributed from one end of the
country to the other.
