CHICAGO, Dee 1. Sensationally bullish
figures on the condition of winter wheat In
Oklahoma decided the course of today's
market. The close was strong at a net
Advance of Valine. Other leading staples,
too, finished higher than last night corn
up 'H'ii'iic to l'ulVtiO. oats a shade to c
and provisions l'u Yiyc.
The Oklahoma official state report gave
the condition of the new sown grain as 33.6
per cent against D3 a year ago and 91 at
harvest this year. Before this Information
was received fluctuations had been un
certain. May showing a heavy tone, but
'ecemher and July being -elatively firm.
The weakness early resulted In the main
from an Increased esttnate of the Argen
tina export surplus.
Then It was reported that water was
being hauled by Kansas farmers because of
excessively dry weather. The influence of
this, however, had about worn off when
the news cume regarding the extraordinary
effect of the drouth in Oklahoma. A sharp
advance ensued and latest sales were vir
tually at thv highest point of the session.
During the day the fluctuations for May
inn from ic to 7'4o, with the close o up
t 07'(i3!r7fcC.
FxtciiHlve cribbing operations by farm
ers and total absence of deliveries here
caused recent large sellers of corn to turn
buyers. May ranged from 47c to 470,
cloning steady at the last named figures, a
net rise of ifc&'MtC. December gained l'o.
Cash corn was firm. No. 2 yellow finished
at KKiWiHa.
There were deliveries of 31W.000 bushels of
outs. Shorts were forced to buy on a
rising market. May varied between
and 34Ivo and closed 'Vu.'.c up at 34V334Hc
Dimber made a net gain of ic.
Provisions advanced largely on purchases
by visiting stockmen and one of the larger
western imckers. At the end of the day
pork waa l.VblTttc higher, lard up 7MiO
and ribs more expensive by 10U'12ttc

URGENT LIQUIDATION SUGGESTED

Faalaad Dtaeooat.
NEW TORK, Deo. 1 The stock market
waa subjected to anothe. overhauling to
day in, the process ot wnich prices again
fell with some precipitation. The move
ment at times was, strongly suggestive of
urgent liquidation, to which the extensive
selling of the short Interest gave added
Impetus. On the surface much ot the day's
news was tavorable.
The decision of the steel Interests to
maintain prices despite the increasing dull
ness in the trade and the reduction of tne
Bank of England's discount rate, which
came as a surprise, should under ordinary
conditions have proved helpful to the bull
account, but the feeling of pessimism,
which manifested Itself on Monday follow
ing J. J. Hid s Interview, seems to have
taken strung hold in speculative quarters.
Ihe weakness of the Gould Issues was
one of the most notable features of the
stock market. iJenver & Rio Urande pre
ferred waa at one time 6H points below the
previous day's closing price. Other stocks
controlled by the same Interests were cor
respondingly heavy.
In the final trading-, however, Denver &
Rio Urande preferred recovered all Its early
loss on announcement of the regular divi
dend, and the balance of the list, which
made Its loweVt prices In the last hour,
closed with fractional reooverles.
The Bank of England's total reserves de
creased during the week by about 200 000
pounds sterling, and Its proportion to lia
bilities fell over 1 per cent. London was
reprrled to h've Purchased here from 1,(K,0

CAi iLt, Receipts ot came were fair toi
a 'ihursday, 1U cars being reported. This
makes me total for the four days mis wees.
16.jo4 head, a slight gain over last wees.,
but a talung off of 3.juo head as cuinpareu
with a year ago, and, .wlui tne exception
of last week, tne smallest of any week lor
some tune back, ir.e quality of the cattie
was not very desirable, right good stuit
being scarce.
'ine market on beef steers was without
any very noteworthy changes, prices for
the most part being about steady with
yesterday. The trade, while not very
acuve, was In falriy good snaps, so that
most of the offerings cnanged hands in
decent season In the morning.
Cows and heifers, wnicn closed weak
yesterday, commanded about steady prleea
today,
feeders were in light supply and the
market firm.
It might be well for shippers to under
stand that owing to the moderate receipts
at this point-' for some days back prices
have been forced up to a point where tney
are out of line aa compared with eastern
markets. This makes buyers feel ratner
bearish in their views and leaves tha mar
ket rather top-heavy.

HoUS Hogs opened a gooa
lOo higher
this morning and tne market, was active
at the advance, rnpldlv slrenKthening up
until It could safe'y be quoted iO,il6c
higher. Ihe demand was very good and
the offerings chanm-d hands rapidly at tne
advance n. ted While i-oine salee poa-lbly
old not ahow the full advance others mad
a still bttter gain than that noted, so mat
the general market could safely be quoted
around iiil6c higher. Practically eiery
thing In sight waa acid by 10 o'clock In the
morning or soon after.
Later trains did not fare so well. After
buyers had tune to think the matter over,
they seemed to come to the conclusion
tnat they had paid more money than waa
necessary on the early market, and a.i
some of the orders were filled and buyers
dropped out, those who were left were
able to pound that closing market good
and hard. It thus happened that tha last
hogs to arrive In the yards found very
little. If any, of the early advance left.
It will be noted from the sales that the
hogs today sold very largely at 87.lCtJ7.lo.
with quite a sprinkling of the lighter
weights on up aa high as 87. 26".' it will also
be noted that some quite weighty hogs
sold at the top price, but it must be under
stood that they were very choice and very
even loads. Yesterday the big bulk of the
hogs sold at 86 9fM7.06, although there was
quite a sprinkling at $7.06 and $7.10. with a
top at $7.16.

Billet--cheep receipts were light again
this morning, making the total tor tne
week only 40,637 head. While this was a
gain over the very small run of lat week,
11 waa a good deal smaller than previous
weeks. Ine day's arrivals constated al
most entirely of fat sheep and lambs.
The market on killers, both sheep and
lambs, lacaed the usual snap this morning,
and the trado was inclined to drag right
ii om the outset. The dullness aa due
apparently to a ieellng on tin part of buy
ers that they have been paying too much
lor their supplies and that a reaction was
due. Sellers, however, had rather hig.i
i.oiioiia as to values, and it was hard woia
lo get market down to any great extent,
bull prices turned out to be around lOo
lower than yexterday on the general run
of stuff. Good lambs sold up to so. 40, as
against $6.50 for the same stuff on Mon
day, with fail clipped iambs at 66.90. It
look good yearlings to bring $6.15 and
good ewes to reach $3.60.
A feature of the market on fat sheep
and lanibs that has been mentioned sev
eral times In these columns, but .hat do, a
not appear to be fully understood by snip
pers. Is that heavy lambs and sheep are
not selling nearly so good as the hgnter
weights; In fact, they are being very much
discriminated against. Thus choice heavy
native iambs had to sell yesterday at to.&o,
while lighter westerns brought $6.66. it
is hard work for the country to realise
that there Is $1 per hundred d.ffir.ncd
cbused by weight alone, but that Is tne
faut. There Is also a wide dlflerence in
sheep, so much that heavy wethers do not
bring as much as lighter weight ewes.
The offerings of feeding sheep and Iambs
were very light, while the demand was
good. Had there been anything of conse
quence on sale it would undoubtedly nave
brought good strong prices.
