Wheat proved a little weaker during the
early trading, especially In the J ecemler,
where a good deal of realising sales were
Indulged In liy longs who had profits, but
vi re unwilling to lake the delivery.
Steady selling of corn ami the easier
wheat maik'it softened the marlt and
bear were able to hold valued down on
rcpniis of better lallroad service.
Wheat whk ori and valuea Worked
gradually lower and the expected i-iueeae
was Jicklng In the cloning of the Decem
ber billion. Holders of the option were
anxious to rArdve the delivery to Increase
their cash holdings and retimed lo bid the-
futures tip. .
Corn whs rather slow and values
slumped off on hammering by the bear
leaders and the weaker wheat market.
Cash corn held steady on Improved de

NEW TORK. Pec Sl.-The closing dny of
the year In the stock market reflected an
expectant tone of good things to cume with
the opening of the new year, rather than
the, direct operation of present favorable
Influences In the trading. January will- see
the largest sum disbursed In profits that
has ever occurred in a similar period In
New Vork.
The market was characterised by the
great numher of separate securities dealt
In, A process of price adjustments aiso
was In progress. Ihe most conspicuous
feature of the list was Southern Pacific.
Talk of a probable Increase In the dividend
in this stock In
prominent In the day's market proceed
lugs. Rock Island nade another advance,
and the filing of the report of the investi
gating committee of the flurry In that
stock last Monday mado It the. subject of
comment. It was believed that a way
would be found to proclaim that the Ruck
Island episode was as distasteful to the
i-entiment of the stock exchange element
itself as to the public at large. Specula
tive opinion attaches some importance to
the expression and formulation of this sen
timent for the assurance It may carry to
the public at large.
Resides the generally cheerful forward
view taken of affairs, a good deal of
strengthening effect on the speculation was
caused by the backward surveys of the
achievement on the last year. The enor
mous recuperation effected, according to
eviy trustworthy Index, and by feeling of
confidence In the substantial character of
thai progress and In its soundnes.4 as a
point of departure for additional advance,
made a strong undertone for the stock
market.
yulet confidence rather than Jubilant en
thusiasm was the dominant note. The con
servative restraint comes fri m the lab r
outlook in connection with the high cost
of living and from the questions of leg.il
restrains on corporations, which are to as
sume prominence at an early period In the
new year. The expected relaxation In the
money market also Is not looked for Imme
diately next week. The slender surplus d s
closed by the actual figures of the bank
statement after the close of the market
goes to Justify this 'view.

SHKKP SupplU'S were
mal for a t riday, aomn
ported in. but In spite
les-s restrkaed outlet at the week-end and
the jvsultlng lassitude of demand, there
was a very fair inquiry for good kiii.li
of killers today and offerings changed
lia 11 1) s In very good season. Prices as a
general rule were fully steady with yes
terday on both sheep and lambs. A small
string of fed western lambs sold at tv .0.
i.e. highest price paid since the opening
of tho fed season. Fed western ewes
eallxtu In 30 and native ewes were good
enough to bring $5 60.
Aside from Monday s sharp advance in
prices, quotations have wavetexj right
around -steady on the four succeeding days.
In spots the market has shown both weak
ness and Ktrength at times, but the gen
eral situation ai present Is much the same
as It was at Monday's close. For the
eek, values are fully a quarter higher
on all grades of killing stork than a
week nao. The Inuulry tor good, fal ewes
and finished lambs has been especially
active,, out there have upon . very tew ue
suable light yearlings or fed
mo tig ofierings with which to
lops. The big bulk of yearlings
here lately has averaged pretty
ll pounds and extra good kinds of heavy
weights have readily sold around 86.75, but
in the absence of good light material.
It Is safe to uuote stock of this descrip
tion up to 17.26.
