CHICAOO, Deo. 13. Statements that the
outlook for winter wheat southwest had
become the worst In 20 years formed a sus
taining ' Influence today for prices here.
Texas received some rain but dry weather
and no snow ooverlng were reported in
Kanraa and ' Oklahoma. Compared with
last night, the market closed M4c higher
to a shads lower. In corn, thera was a
net decline of Mi'Hc. ' oats - finished un
changed .'to H'n'ie up and provisions at an
advance of 2H4!-o ' to 12Vo. ,
Aside from the drouth, news regarding
wheat was of a bearish sort, but there
was no material selling pressure. The
Russian crop situation and the prospects
for continued heavy shipments were excel
lent. . The Argentine harvest was pro
grecslng under the best ef conditions, and
It was stated that samples of the new
yield arriving In Rurope from Buenos
Ayres were of splendid quality. Notwith
standing all this, sellers were chary, and
seemed not to relish a telegram from Kan
sas City that all the wheat let go now
would be wanted back at 20o higher.
Throughout the day prices here kept In al
most perfect poise. . May ranged from 96 k,
43'iOe and closed a shade off at SoWrSSo.
Huge receipts made the corn market
heavj. May fluctuated between 46T'xf47'4C
with the close at 4iC, a net loss oc '4c.

NEW YORK. Dec. . Such activity as
the stock market displayed today was In
variably in the direction of lower prices.
Pufiness -was the lightest of any full day
for some time and narrower than usual, in
that eperatlona were confined almost ex
clusively to the few issues commonly
known as speculative leaders. Trading In
these amounted to over 75 per cent of the
whole and the professional element had
the field quite to itself.
A sharp decline In foreign exchange to
the lowest point In almost three years on
heavy offerings of banker' bills denoted
the strenuous efforts now being made to
Import gold before the end of the year.
A notable feature of the London market
Was the easier rate charged In the settle
ment of committments on American se
curities there. The general settlements
proceeded without strain In any quarter.
Americans were Irregular In London but
closed with a rally. Trading for that mar
ket was again nominal. In our own com
modity markets, grain was steady with
lower prices. for cotton. Exports of mer
chandise for the current weeks are esti
mated at a figure below those of the pre
vious week and the corresponding week of
1909. ' ' .
' Ronds were steady. Total gales' par
value 31.762,O00.- United States bonds were
unchanged.

CATTLE Yesterday's large run of cattle
was followed by heavy receipts again to
day, about 300 cars being reported in.
There was a sprinkling of range cattle,
but the most ot the receipts consisted of
half . fat beef cattle and butcher stock,
with, quite a showing of feeders. Advices
from other selling points were extremely
unfavorable, Indicating unusually large re
ceipts . for A Tuesday and a very sharp
break In prices. Chicago was especially
bad, first reports from that point Indicat
ing a 26o decline for the two days. As a
result the market at this point was slow
to open.
Beef steers were slow, sellers all morning
and It was midday or after before anything
like a clearance was effected. Prices were
In the main lo&il6c lower, the decline, as
hinted above, being due to the unfavorable
condition of markets at other points, as
well as to liberal receipts locally.
Cows and heifers were slow to 10c lower
and It was also late In the day before the
offerings were disposed of. The best feed
eis, both heavy and light, were steady and
fairly active. In fact, . cattle of that de
scription were the first to sell on the mar
ket. Common and Inferior grades were
naturally slow.

HOtiS Receipts of hogs this morning
were very large. 152 cars being reported In.
In fact, they were the largest of any day
since June A), when l'A cars arrived at the
yards. At the same t'me other market
points were reporting very heavy runs,
with prices everywhere sharply lower.
I'nder the combined pressure of 'a.ge re
ceipts and general declines at all point,
the market here opemd wlti: biiveis bid
dim; in many cms. a as much as ilv in-r
than yesterday. The tiriy si.les looked
generally about 20c lower, and on that
lass a large proportion of the hogs
changed bands. Toward the last the mar
ket strengthened up a little and tome spies
men thought at the best time that they
sold out at prices that were not over :if
2c lower.
Heavy hogs sold largely at 87 Srvjr? 40,
hlle the lighter hogs ranged from 87.40
up to 37 .65. The bulk of all the hoss sold at
3.' SK7... The trade was fairly active at
the decline, that Is. sufficiently active to
effect a clearance In reasonable season in
the forenoon.

SHEEP Receipts were light this morn
ing at this point, but other markets, espe
cially Chicago, were well auppllnd. and
early reports indicated a lower range of
prices. Very light receipts at this point,
together with a rood demand, saved the
day for tho selling Interests. Lambs were
quite active and the offerings picked tip
enrly In the morning at good, steady prices.
As a matter of fact, buyers were quoting
ineir iamr purchases In some Instances a
little stronger even than yesterday, (food
lambs sold up to 36.25. which was higher
than anything brought yesterday, but pos
sibly the quality today may have been bet
ter.. Shorn lambs reached 35.75.
There were few, if any old wethers on
sale, but there were a few cars of heivy
yearlings, for which the demand was slow
and the feeling weak. Buyers all seemed to
be Inquiring for light weights and It took a
good deal of persuasion to Induce them to
buy heavy weights and posstbly some .ittle
concession In prices. Ewes were in .rood
demand, selling up as high as 83 65 for the
best here. The feeling was a lltt'o weak
and salesmen In some cases thought ley
had to take off a little as compared with
the best time yesterday morning, though,
according to buyers' Ideas, the market was
steady with yesterday's close.
There were only a few feeders here and
the demand was sufficient to take care of
everything In sight, so that prices remained
fully steady. A bunch of feeder lambs
brought 35.40 and feeder yearlings 34.50.

a big chance on the bidder being a woman
to whom all the articles In tho bundle may
not appeal. She may not care at an for

knife would strike her fancy and she would '
buy the bundle for the knife alono and
take the other things for good measure.
