CHICAGO, lee. 2. Wall street weakness
oauned depression here today In the wheat
market. The close wan heavy, at the
lowest point of the session, VWic under
last night's figures. In corn the finish was
mli'ic to V' he up: oats, 'Mi V4C lower to
hxc higher, and provisions varying from
bo gain to Hri 12!tc decline.
Conditions in the stock market led to
utH'xpecttd setbacks In wheat when other
news was ctrong and large shorts were
covering. The argument was that the
downward course of securities affected
business In other directions, and that It
was no time to bull anything, simultane
ously, reports were current that the water
situation for Minneapolis Hour mills was
serious. Selling, due to New York an$
Minneapolis reports, was accelerated by
denials that the outlook for Oklahoma
wheat was as bullish as had been repre
sented. Earlier In the day an authorita
tive estimate had been received ralsinar the
Argentine export surplus to 112.000,000
bushels. The day's range for May was
from to tlc, with the close
off at the lower level.
Corn fell back somewhat from an ad
vance due to scarcity of sales from the
country. May fluctuated between 47V(f
47,0 and . 4K1i,'u4S4c, closing easy at 47tc,
a net gain of c. Cash corn was firm.
No. 2 yellow finished at BiMVic, and the
new crop at fiOHc.
Notwithstanding active buying of oats
the market finally yielded under sales by
some of the largest houses. May ranged
from 34'Ac tq. 347o and closed Ho ud at
IMS'ii 34N.C.
Selling, attributed to packers, forced pro
visions to share in the general late reae
' tion. Pork closed Wfil2MiC off to Be up,
lard was down 3Hc to 7V4'9l0c, and ribs
unchanged to fie decline.

NEW TORIC. Dec. i-The reactionary
movement with which the week In the
stock market began was continued today,
material losses being registered throughout
the list. Sentiment has apparently taken
a very pessimistic turn and evidence was
forthcoming to account for Uie set-back.
In various lines of trade, more particu
larly the steel Industry, conditions are not
calculated to inspire confidence and the
ease with which prices have rrumbleTl
offers strong proof that recent efforts to
create bullish sentiment have leen abortive.
Rumors were current, too, today that the
pool which is commonly supposed to have
engineered the recent upward movement
had dissolved, leaving a large part of its
holdings, estimated into the hundreds of
thousands of shares, unsold.
The comptroller of the currency sub
mitted another batch of statements of con
dition of national banks of November 10
last. Not a few of these institutions re
ported a further expansion of loan ar.J
discounts Instead of the hoped-for con
traction. Reoovery was made In the stock market
during the final hour and soma fractional
gains were shown, but this was due In
a measure to short covering. I-omlon's
operations here were moderately extensive
for both accounts, the balance probably
representing purchases of about 10,000
shares.
European markets were firm. The Im
perial Hank of Germany reported a cash,
loss of more than $17,5ft),ono, a loan Increase
of fx. 500.000 and a loss In gold of almost
$U,0u0,0no. The bond market waa heavy.
Total sales, par value, $1,709,000.
United Stales bonds were unchanged on
call.

CATTLE There was a decent run of
cattle for a Friday, sixty car being re
ported In. which make the total for the
week about on a par with last week, but
leaves It about 7.0U0 bead smaller than for
the corresponding week of last year.
With so few cattle In slgnt, th supply
of beef steers was soon exhausted. Price
paid were anywhere from steady to strong,
as compared with yesterday, or arousal lixti
ic higher on the better grade of beef
steers.
Cow and heifer commanded good firm
price as compared wttb yesterday. Tbsy
have been good sellers all week and th
market on that class of cattle 1 around
lZuo higher.
There were not many feeder her today
and few wanted It, being so near tne
close of the week. The trade was naturally
a Uttle low, but, still, there wa not very
inucn change in price.

SHEEP Th market on fat sheep and
lamhs was In the worst condition that It
has been for a long time. It was in fact
about as near no market at all' as could
Well be Imagined. Salesmen were describ
ing it as a rotten market.
The trad has been In a good condition
11 the week until toward the close yes
terday, when It became apnprent that
something had happened to chango buy
ers' vlewa This morning It wns very ap
parent that the trnuhle lay In the fact
that buyer were filled up on both shoep
and lamhs, while, to make the situation
still worse, there weje advice from Ruf
falo indicating that the top on choice
lamb there yesterday waa only $6 25, and
that the general situation in the east was
decidedly discouraging. The result was
that packers at this point did not appear
to want the stuff on sale and the faint ef
forts they made to buy could hardly be
called a market. Their bids were around
H60o lower than Wednesday, lambs show
ing the moat break, tin a good deal of the
stuff they did not even make a bid and,
as noted above. It was the next thing to
no market at all.
At midday a good share of the receipt
still remained In th yards unsold. It
might be noted In this connection that
while the receipt this week have been
small compared to most recent weeks, they
have been larger th.tn for the same week
a year ago by almost 20.000 head. More
than that, the arrivals have consisted al
most entirely of killers, there being very
few feeders Included in the runs. Thus It
Is safe to say that the actual number of
killers on sal has been larger than was
the case a few weeks ago, when receipts
were more than double what they are now.
Under present conditions, the only thing
that shipper can do is to hold off ship
ping for a time until the market can have
a channe to clear Itself.

ANOTHER 0LD.TIMER LOST
Inquiring Norwegian Expedition Fall
to Find Sargassos Sea at
Home.
Now and then one of the old standard
properties, so a theatrical person might
call them,' of the universe crumple up
and has to be kicked off to one side. Last,
It waa Halley's comet; now it I th Bar
gasio sea. An Inquiring expedition of
Norwegians, sent out by their government'
bureau of fisheries, have been prying Into
the nooks and corner of the ocean where
the Sargasso sea ought to be. They have .
recently returned and reported that thy
did not find the Sargasso sea at horn.
There are some thlnga that well-brought-up
Uttle boy when they get on in Ufa
retain their belief In even mora than they
do In what they learned in Sunday school.
Here and there a point In history, gram
mar, or, a In this case, geography. To
hear that the Sargasso ea 1 no more will
be a great shock to thousand of th well-brought-up
little boy of a few year ago.
They were firmly convinced, up to tha
very last, that It wa a place whera tha
rank weeds floated In long accumulated
masses, almost as thick as hay up In th
old mow; her and there might be 'seen a
derelict hulk, for Into this slough of th
ocean all thing drifted; and If a what
were raah enough to eat lu way far Into
tha me, that rash whal would very likely
perish, unable to make It way out again
through the flotsam.
The Norwegian did find floating sea
weed, although they missed the congress
of derelict and the fettered whale. Th
weed was a trifle more plenty, perhap.
than In ocean localities where tha current
I brisker. But a cruise through a whole
gridiron of latitudes and longitudes failed
to disclose anything worth going down
there for In the way of tha ploturesqu.
In the end the Investigator concluded that
the weed usually sank a few month after
ending Its term of life, and so kept the
surface fairly clear of litter.
The faithful, who refus to glv up thlr
beliefs, will have to transfer their Sar
gahso to the floor of the ocean. It 1 doubt
ful Jut what become of the seaweed that
ink, and perhap It may form fancy gar
den at great depth. Deep-sea sounding
should olve th point aouner or later. But
it 1 time rather that th men of science
gave us a new wonder, In return for tho
that have, like the Sargossa, recently been
taken aay. New York Sun.

MITCHELL, 8. IT., Dee. i.-tSpeclal.)-The
session of circuit court, which began
Tuesday, lias been devoted to court case
and the Jury wa excused for the flrt
two days on account of none of th Jury
cases being ready for trial. Th flrt
Jury case to come up was that of Davison
county afc-alnt the Milwaukee road, on a
petition that was presented the board from
land owners in Mitchell township, request
ing the Milwaukee company to build a
bridge over a roadway which would give
them a shorter cut to this city. The ex
pense of building the bridge would be about
$3,000 and the company has fought the re
quest for about three, years. After th
Jury had been drawn th attorney for
the company, Preston A Hannett, asksd
that the case be dismissed on the ground
that the petition was Insufficient In that
It contained the names of parties owning
land In the township abutting on the road
way that were not bona fide resident,
and therefor could have no personal In
terest in the petition. The court held with
the railroad attorneys and dismissed th
case. There are twelve divorce esse to
be heard at this term of court.
