The, unexpected upturn In wheat was the
result of good buying by the large Interest

conditions existing In the southwest gave
addltionai strength. Cash conditions are
not strong and values were unchanged to

The corn trade was mixed and values
varied. Hears stood on the unchanged bear

from the upturn In wheat. Receipts are a
trifle lighter, but still of sufficient volume
to fill requirements. Cash corn on the
floor was steady to "40 higher.

CHICAGO URAIK AN D PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO. Dec. 20. Something of a scare
about dry weather In the southwest was
one of the chief causes today In advancing
the price of wheat. The market closed
firm, with a net gain of V7o to 'so.
Corn at the finish iU-'.io to Vc higher
than last night, oats were unchanged to
Utr1-." up and provisions had risen l"$pl2ta
to 22'ic
Bull leaders kept the wires In all direc
tions busy today with advice to buy wheat
for a rally. How much effect this ma
neuver had was a question, but the market
showed an upward bent from the start,
friouthwestern houses In particular did a
great deal of purchasing, especially In the
July option. The northwest sold the May
delivery here In considerable amounts.
Scattered commission houses formed an
other liberal source of supply, but the
bullish tendency of prices did not at any
time suffer' material setback. An early
help In bringing about a bulge came from
tho lowering of the world's stocks. It
wus principally, however, from the drouth
In the winter crop belt that the bears took
fright. With such reports current last
sales were within ',o of the top figures of
the day. Fluctuations In the May option
ran from 9iNo to !VjC and the close was
up at tiW('4c.
Corn was aided by the upturn In wheat.
May ranged from 47'o to 47Nc, with the
close steady at 47V(J'17Lto, a net gain of c.
Cash rorn was firm. No. 2 yellow finished
at 4Vi4'.K3.
In outs some Improvement of the cash
demand was reported. May varied from
iU7o to 34'c, closing 0 up at 3-lc.
Hlg purchases of May lard led to much
covering on atop loss orders by shorts in
January products, mainly ribs. Last sales
left pork ITVjJi iLiVaO higher, lard up J(Kul7',iiC
and ribs dearer by 10"j 12'-jC to 20c.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 A broader and
more general demand for bonds was the
most notable feature of today s operations
In the securities market. Tho stock market
was only moderately active and Its tone
for the most part Irregular. It seems to be
the prevailing opinion however, that the
financial situation has Improved during
the last few weeks.
Trading on the wtock exchange wag al
most wholly professional and centered
around the more actlvw Issues, Including
the Harrlman stocks and the coalers. Union
Paclflo and Southern Paclflo made further
gains.
The movement In stocks Included several
of the more obscure railway Issues, but
the Industrial specialties were almost en
tirely neglected.
The west Is said to have purchased mod
erately of bonds and other high grade
securities during recent days. A better
feeling prevails In that section because
of the easier monetary conditions.
There was a further drain on the go
holdings of the Bank of England whicti
sent $250,000 to the continent and $10,000 to
South America. A further rise here In
foreign exchange practically precludes all
possibility of gold Imports for a tlme-
The Baltimore Ohio report for No
vember showed a loss In net earnings of
$iS6,000 and a total loss In net earnings for
the first five months of the fiscal year of
$l,400,0i. The annual report of the Mis
souri Pacific road has been considered fa
vorable In that earnings In the capital
stock were about SS, per cent, with a larger
expansion of gross and surplus applicable
to dividends, almost $1,700,000 In excess of
the previous year.
Total sales of bonds, par value, $3,110,000.
United States bonds were unchanged.

CATTLE There vas a fair run of cattle
today, 183 cars being reported in, but the
total for the two daya amounts to only
9,200 head, as against 14,000 for the same
days last week. Still the receipts for the
two days are larger than for the
period a year ago by over S.onn !r"ad. 1 he
market as a whole was lu very fair condi
tion, and the tendency to values on all de
sirable kinds of cattle waa a little stronger.
Packers all seemed to want a few beef
steers and the fair medium grades wWcn
constituted the bulk of the receipts ao'd
In fair season at prices that were steady
to a little stronger in spots. Borne sales if
anything looked a little higher and buyers
as a rula were claiming their purchases as
costing them more money than yesterday.
Cows and heifers were also steady to
stronger and the same was true of feeding
cattle which were in very fair demand.
About everything on sale waa cleaned up
In fair season.

HOGS Yesterday's market was very un
even and the trade again tod.ty was equally
uneven. To compare one day when the
market Is uneven with another uneven day
and give an adequate idea of prices Is a
difficult matter. Still in a general way
It might be said that the market opened
with packers selecting the better grades of
light and medium welgnt hogs at prices
that were about 6c lower than yesterday.
Then the market dropped down, becoming
fully 10c lower than yesterday's general
market, closing with heavy hogs selling a
big luc lower. While the market was at
no time very active, there was a fnlr move
ment and everything In slht sold In very
fair season.
As will he noted from the sales the light
and medium weights sold st $7 45li7t, Bnii
on up ss hls.li ss $7 So for the best light and
butcher trade. Heavy hogs with quality
and not too much weight sold largely at
$7 ..V1T7.40 with a few scattering loads up as
high as $7 45. The heavier loads ami those
on the rougher order sold around $7.25 snd
under.

SHEEP Receipts of sheep were light this
morning, only twenty care being reported
In, and of this number seven cars were
range feeders, leaving only thirteen cars
of killers on sale. The total receipts for
the two days foot up onlv 12,800 head, as
against 16.300 head last week and 12,6u0 a
year afco.
Packers all seemed to want a few decent
killers this morning and, as there were
only a few on sale, they put up the market
to the extent of HKjilbc, aa compared with
yesterday, or around 25o higher than last
week. The trade was active at the advance
and pretty much everything changed hands
very readily. Pretty decent wooled lambs
sold as high as $6.00, but there was noth ng
choice to test the top. Fall clipped lambs
touched $5.90, heavy yearlings up to $4.70,
but there were no light yearlings to make
a top. Good fed ewes reached $3.60, with
one lot of ewes with some wethers on them
at $4.00.
The supply of feeders this morning was
limited to seven cars of Wyoming range
wethers, a cut-off from the same lot that
was here yesterday. They sold at tho
same price, $3.65. It Is hardly necessary to
add that the demand for feeders la very
fair for this season of the year and the
few coming sell every day at good, firm
prices.
It would be well for shippers to bear In
mind that the markets during the holiday
season are always more or leBS uncertain.
Thus today, with light receipts and a fair
demand, prices were way higher than last
week. At the same time there Is no ques
tion but what had receipts been liberal, the
market would have been slow and dull, as
the demand Is never very large at this sea
son. Conservatism In the matter of ship
Ping Ik always a good plan to follow at
this time of the year.

Early Shopping Helps
Forces at Postoffice
Mailing of Christmas Presents Be
gins in Time to Believe An
nual Congestion.
The early movement of the Christmas
shopper has shown Its advantage In the
postoffice. Never before have the malls
moved so smoothly and quickly as during
the present holiday season. There bag not
been a semblance of congestion.
"It is undoubtedly because of the cam
paign for early Christmas shopping that
has changed the usual conditions of the
postoffice," Postmaster Thomas said. "In
stead of the customary mad rush to the
postoffice with presents to go through the
mall, the givers began their mailing about
the first of December, and, although there
has been a large quantity of mall passing
through this office every day It la much
better than before."
The sale of stamps so' far this month
has shown an Increase of 21 per cent over
the same time last year, .
For the benefit of those who are to ge,
their presents Chrlntmug day, Postmaster
Thomas had arranged to have the office
open during the forenoon next Sunday and
a special corps of clerks on duty to hand
nut the packages. Doors at both sides ot
the office will be open to allow tiie ex
pected crowds to walk through In single
file.
Tuesday morning twelve extra clerks were
employed in the postoffice to help out until
after Christmas. Scales to weigh "offici
ally" packaKes huve been placed In the
lobby of the building.
