CHICAGO, Dec. t Notwithstanding a freight tleup In the northwest flue to the switchmen's strike the wheat market here developed decide weakness 'today and prices at the close showed losses of "a;. compared with 'the final figures of the previous rtny.-. Com and provision also closed wea-k,' but -oats were steady. The strike failed to affect the- market today, aa a bullish - factor, butt' on the contrary, It was useds as a bearish Influ ence. Report from Minneapolis claimed all flour 'mills In that city had been closed owing to the labor trouble, and These ad vice caused considerable aelling pressure here lata In the day. Aside from a mild flurry In December at the start th mar ket was Inclined to be weak. Deliveries of only 120, QUO bushel of wheat on December contract brought out sum ooverlng by shorts during the first few minutes, which caused a Ho advance lh December, but' demand was scum satisfied and prices again declined on profit taking. Trading In gen eral was quiet. The -tinge on December for the day was between 8106 and $1.0. while May sold between 81.064 and 81.004 1. ) The market closed at almost the bottom, with December at 81.00 and May at 810&S1.06H. Despite unsettled weather In the corn belt sentiment In cornwas bearish all day. The heaviness of wheat was the principal weakening Influence. The market closed -weak, with price to VSHo lower. Oats wore relatively firm, prices closed unchanged to Wakz higher. Provisions closed 2U4iVo lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: Article. Opn. Hlgh.j Low. Cloe.

Dee. 1 Price of stocks had a substantial rally today. A general demand to cover outstanding shorts cam from the bear and the withdrawal of sell ing pressure marked the subsidence of ap prehension felt for severa) dwy pnM over the anti-trust program at Washington. Another Influence was the formal action bv the House of Lords In London In pealing the budret declskin to the elector ate! The opinion holds that the steos mado necessary In prltlsh fiscal affairs by this action as well as the unsettling Influ ence on public sentiment of the grave governmental Issues Involved are destined to have a restraining effect on financial markets for some time. The same mixed view may he said to hold on the longer outlook In the corporation regulation fiieH tion In this country. Something was made today of a report of an Intention on the part of the Department of Justice to Bfk for a postponement of the hearing in the American Tobacco case before the supremo court which was het for lecember 13. The first view of this report seemed to be of a putting off of an evil day from the stock market standpoint. This view was miMllfled by the expressed eagerness of corporation representatives for as early a conclusion as possible of the pending cases. The demand for stocks, which was at tributed principally to the uncovered shorts, was desultory and showed some hesita tion at the higher price levels. There was a resumption of leadership by some of the highly speculative Issues and a re newal of deal rumors. These centered con spicuously about the dissolution of the Rock Island and St. Louis A San Fran cisco union and the possible alternative alliance that might be made. The retention of the same dlvlnend rate by New York Central and American Smelt ing disposed of rumors of an Intended In crease, but did not prevent those stocks from advancing with the market. Chicago & Northwestern furnished another example of the recent tendency of stocks to decline when stock Increases are proposed, How ever attractive the subscription rights to present stock holder are made. The effect of the Deoember money sev tlement was perceptible In the rise In call loan rates In the day to per cent. The large engagement of gold for export and the withdrawal of cash from the banks by subtreasury operations have narrowed the resources to meet the December 1 de mand. The railroad switchmen s strike In the northwest proved a disappointment of hopes that satisfactory settlements ot labor controversies which are expected In other directions would be effected. Honds were firm. Total sales, par value, 84,426,000. United States bonds were un changed on coll. Saies and range of prices on the Stock uxchunge today wore as tollnws: gaits Win.

It will be noted from this that receipts as compared with last year are running quite large. Beef steers, especially those having any quality, - were In good demand and were free sellers at prices that were fully steady with yesterday and It will be re membered that the market yesterday was quoted as stronger. The desirable kinds changed hands In good season In the morn ing, but inferior stuff was ratner mow, aa usual. Cows and heifers were again In large re ceipt, there being an over supply of cattle of that kind. - The fact la that cows have been coming forward at a very rapid rate for some days. As a result the market today was slow tt- a little lower. Stockera and feeders were again in good demand and were free sellers at fully as good prices as yesterday.

Packers evinced the same lively Interest in killers that has featured the trade so fur this week und bought freely of any thing that suited their purposes from the start. To all appearances. It was a fairly active market at good, steady to possibly stronger prices. The more finished kinds of fed sheep were naturally favored and firmer values were more noticeable, of course, on this class of offerings. Common, short-fed stuff sold In about the same notches as yesterday. Fed yearlings st Jil.15 and fed wethers at $5.30 were among bbl some of the toppy sules. There were not very many lambs Included In receipts and such as were received were not goou nough to afford a teat of tops. The market was practically bare or ii-deV offerings as was the case yester day and while the inquiry for suitable lock, sheep and lambs Is still or a very respectable volume, there has been noth ing much on sale lately to give a very brond Idea of the situation.
