Kroiu the Argentine In particular came word of large shipments and favor able threahing returns. As the day. pro gressed a material show of strength re sulted from purchases of corn by wheat bulls, but, the effect of this maneuver was lust when, tho depressing figures came out regarding the world's crop.

EARLY GAINS LN STOCKS LOST Failure of the Hank of Knaland to Itrdnre Its Ulneosat Rate Gives Klse to Some Disappointment. NEW YORK, Dec. 1R -The most salient feature of today's market for securities was the better demand for bonds. Sales of these issues were the largest In the recpnt history of the Stork Exchange and a cor respondingly Improved tone was reported In direct sales by bankers. Further Improvement was shown In stocks during the early part of the ses sion, but later almost all of the early gains were wiped out. Over-nlRht devel opments were of an adverse originative character. The failure of the Hank of England to reduce Its discount rate gave rise to some disappointment, although, this was scarcely evident In the prices of Amer icans at London, many of which made substantial advances. A fall In the Hank of England's propor tion of reserve to liability from 60.59 to 44.98 per cent probably aroounted for the maintenance of the discount rate, while the decline of 75,220.000 In the aggregate of checks cleared through the London banks for the week, compared with the same week last year may be accepted as an In dication of the dullness of general trade In the British metropolis. That an active stage seemed to have been reached in the western railroad labor situation may be gathered from the report thnt the managers of the western roads are said to have appealed to the govern ment at Washington to avert the threat ened strike of the engineers. Bonds were firm throughout. Total sales, par value, $3,007,0no. Cnlted States bonds were unchanged.

There was a fair run of hogs for a Thursday, 63 cais being reported In, which makes the total for the week 26,300 head, as against 20,700 head for the same days last week and 39.P4) head a year ago. Hogs sold fully 15c higher this morning and In many cases 2tic higher than yester day. The big bulk of the early sales went at $7.554(7.tiO, with the lighter loads at $7.65 and on up as high as $7.70 for a top. For a short time the market was very ac tive at the advance and a good share of the early receipts changed hnnds In a very few minutes. However, before sellers all had a chance to unload buyers seemed all of a sudden to come to the conclusion that they were paying more money than necessary and the trade came to a sudden standstill, with fifteen or twenty loads of hogs still unsold and with buyers talking lower urlces. The trade continued slow until the close the maiket winding up dull and fully lc lower than early. A few cars were lft unsold at a late hour some of them being hogs that came in on late trains. In other woids a good dhnde of the morning's ad vanto was whipped out on the close. Taking Into account lute sales the bulk of all the hogs sold at $7.5ory7.60 as against a bulk yesterday of 9;.a.".itj 7.45. The top, $7.70, was 15c higher than anything brought yester day, and the highest price for the month to date. Representative sales: No. t. Bh. Pr. No. At. sh. Pr.

After the sharp decline yesterday the feeling was a little better today, especially as buyers all seemed to want a few good killers. This resulted In a good steady to stronger mar ket, some sales looking If anything a little higher than yesterday. Still the Improve ment In the market was not very great. Good lambs brought as much as $6.15, with good handy weight wethers at $3.90. There were western fed ewes good enough to bring 93.40. Practically everything In sight that could be called desirable changed hands In good season In the morning. It might be added however, that buyers want the light weights and that heavy stuff is more or less neglected every day. This means that buyers select the handy weight killers first, leaving heavy kinds until the last. There was the usual good demand for feeders and a bunch of range lambs sold to go back to the country at 95.66. A feeder buyer also paid 93.00 for western ewes that had been on feed a short time. As high as $3.65 was paid for choice native ewes to be taken back to the country for breeders.
