Prices on the Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. tec. 15. Estimates that the
world's wheat crop Is greatly In excess of
the average" for the last five years acted
as a hammer today on the market here,
doting figures were at a net decline of
Vii'40. Corn finished the name as last
night, Htl!4o up; oata fci&Wo off to a shade
advance and provisions varying from loc
liae to too decline.
According to a high authority, the
-world's wheal yield Is a, 672,000,000 bushels,
aualnst a live-year average of 8.S7,000,OuO
-bushels. Although this year's total Is less
than tuat for the previous twelve months,
the cpmparlKoq otherwise disheartened the
bulls, especially as early In the day ah ex
port hoube baa been selling here for Uver
pool account.
.Foreign news gave the market a bearish
Ktart. 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. May ranged
from tH'ilKc and closed easy at Vbvt'O1
fco'tc, a net loss of c. .

because of large purchases. The close was
steady. May fluctuated between 47 Vm

primary news unless It was the continued
comparatively large receipts to promote
selling and the early trading prices held
Heady around the initial figures. Later,
however, leading roasters, who have been
giving the market a good deal of support,
withdrew their buying orders and prices

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Better Demand for Bonds Salient Fea
ture of Market.
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.
Number of sales ann leading quotations
on stocks were as follows:

Under the influence of moderate receipts
and a good demand the market opened up
with a good healthy feeling and with prices
at leant steady und on some kinds posblbly
a little better.
Buyers all seemed to want a few cars
of beef steers and, as the supply was small,
the offerings were oon disposed of at
prices thai were a little stronger generally
ihan yesterday. '
Cows and heifers were also good sellers
and the market on that kind was strong
and active. The big bulk of the receipts

morning.
Although it was too late In the week to
expect a very active feeder trade, still
there was a fair demand and the general

HOU. 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.

SHEEP Receipts of sheep were very
light this morning, there being no great
number of any kind In the yards. 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.
