The whmt market opened dull again with
out any particular new feature, and l what
trader term a holiday market. alues
were steady and a shade higher during tne
day with the big holders mill supporting tne
ITlAtket. .
About the only bnlllah feature In corn is
the decrease In country selling. Traders
point to tha crop atatlatlra and express
bearish sentiments, but declines do not
niateilall'S.
Mora dry weather talk from tha south
west and falling off of receipts caused a
sllsht upturn In wheat. ( ash houses are
piedlctlnar b?tter demand after the holidays,
and local offerings were absorbed readily
at c advance, tloeslp la generally bear
ish, but a large long Interest prevents any
decided decline.
(iwltiK to a falling off of country pur
chase of corn, tradera are rather Inclined
to favor an advance In corn. With re
ceipt decreasing and a better demand
following the holidays, cash Interests are
picking up the dally arrivals and values
were up c.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Feat area of the Trading; and Closing;
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23. With world ship
ments growing light and with no moisture
southwest except In northern Texas, wheat
today showed strength, hut In a moderate
way. At the end or me session prices were
Uc to V.C higher than last night. Corn
closed 1-lrtc to 'to up, oats were a shade off
to a shude advance and provisions un
changed to 10c decline.
'1 lie wheat market for a while was al
moHt bare of offerings, but later they In
creased sufficiently to satisfy all want.
Although apprehension of drought damage
to the winter crop was felt there wan no
certainty of actual injury as yet. Many
tradera attached conalderahle significance
to dwindling of receipts southwest. Greater
Importance, however, wus given to a bullish
ehtimate of world shipments. 9,600.000 bu.,
nga'nst 12 096,000 bu. a yeiir ago. An offset
In part came In the form of an Increase
of 1.2N).Ono bu. In northwestern stocks.
There was also a statement that the Min
neapolis accumulation now fills about all
the fireproof storage there and Includes
1 .100.000 bu. on tracka awaiting a better
shelter. The market closed firm at Inter
mediate prices. During the aession May
ranged from WSto to 9t',ic, with laat sales
Vtto up, at HteVi WiV.c.
Shoiis and investors bought corn on con
tinuance of the Argentine drought. May
fluctuated between . 47c and 4Xc, closing
firm, 'tie net higher, at 477yi24Kc. Cash corn
was firm. No. 2 yellow finished at 47W
47i, c.
In oats there was active liquidation. May
varied from 4i34Vfca to 84Vio, with laat
sales at 34q3414C, a net gain of a shade.
Provisions were easy. After trading
ceased pork was left unchanged to 7Sc off,
Inrd T'.o to 10c down and ribs at a decline
of ROT-iC to 10c.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23. The volume of
business on the stock exchange touched the
lowest level reached In any full day for a
Ions; time. During: the greater part of the
session sales barely averaged more than
20.000 aharea an hour.
The trend of prices was downward, prac
tically all the speculative leaders sellins;
lower than yesterday. The pressure on
United States Steel, the copper Issues,
Reading and Lehigh Valley was most pro
nounced, though In no instance severe,
while such specialties as Consolidated Gas
and American Beet Sugar were strong,
with gains of a point or two. The whole
movement lacked Initiative or purpose,
however, and the closing was dull and
heavy.
Forecasts of the weekly cash movement
Indicated a gain by local hanks of 8fi.OW.000
or more, due principally to the recent In
flow of money from the middle west.
A statement issued by the Department of
Commerce Indicates the changing character
of our foreign commerce In the last few
months. The Increase In exports of manu
factured articles and the decrease In ex
ports of foodstuffs are the most notewor
thy feature of this exhibit.
News of the day had little or no market
Influence aside from an Interview attrib
uted to J. J. Hill, in which that magnate
takes a less pessimistic view of the gen
eral situation. The backwardness of busi
ness In general was again shown in the
figures submitted by a commercial agency,
which ahow a decline In bank exchanges of
more than 15 per cent compared with the
corresponding week last year.
Ponds were steady. Total salea, par
value, $1.4S9.000.

CATTLE Only thlnfy-four car of cattle
were reported In, a very small run even
for a Friday, but the demand was none too
good, so that as It turned out there were
Plenty cattle here to supply all require
ments of buyers. The demand is never
very urgent at the holiday season sjid most
operators on the market at this time of
the year are Inclined to discourage free
shipping of stock.
There were not enough beef steers In
sight this morning to make a market and
what few there were sold at about yester
day's figures.
Cows and heifers also sold about tha
same as yesterday, or to put it another
way the market today waa steady at yes
terday's decline.
Stockers and feeders were few and far
between, but the feeling on that kind of
cattle has been firm all week and every
thing that could be called desirable met
with very ready sale.

1 lOOS The market opened about 6c lower
than yesterday's early market on the light
ami medium weight loads at leaat. Good
lllit lioiis, such aa were selling largely at
J7.75 yesterduy morning, sold on the open
ing as lugli u IV 70. A little later, how
ever, the market weakened, becoming fully
lou lower and on that basia a good share
of the Iioks had tc sell. Included among
the receljiis were a number of very heavy
bogs, some of them not very good In
quality and they suffered the most decline,
Mime of them having to sell aa low as J.Mu.
While the market waa not very active tho
bulk of the early loelpta changed hands
in fair Heaxon In the morning
I.ltlit ho.a sold largely at )760fi7 70,
while the bulk went at ;. 4017. 55. It might
be well fur ahlppers to underatand that
bu era ere dlsi-riinlnatlng very atrongiy
againHt the extremely heavy loads, that
la. loads weighing well up toward 4 pounds
or over, and it Is hard work to move such
hogs at the extreme bottom prices. At the
same time It nilxht be well to remember
that wlnle light hogs are selling at the top
buyers discriminate very closely In the
natter of quality, and hogs of Inferior
quality, even If they are light weights,
bell down with the heavy hoga

SIIEK1'-Fresh receipts of sheep and
lambs were very small this morning, anly
about st 9. cars being reported In the yards,
it was really fortunate that such was the
case as the market was In no condition to
stand anything like a big run just at the
present time. Even fairly liberal receipts
would have been burdensome. In the first
place the local demand Is far from urgent
as Is very aid to be the case at this time
of the year. To make It still worse the
Chicago msrket waa In the worst demor
alized condition esterday that it has been
in fur a long time back. Reports from
there this morning Indicated very liberal
receipts and continued weakness In the
market. For the selling Interests It Is
most unfortunate that shippers hare been
rushing so much stuff into Chicago just
at this time.
While conditions were all pointing to a
weaker market there were ao few on sale
at this point this morning that the one or
two buyer who had use for a few cars
were able to cltT.n up everything In the
way of 'fresh arrivals at' about steady
prices. A pretty gvod kind of lambs sold
up to SG.20 with feeding lambs at So. 75 and
a pretty fair kind of ewes at $3.65.
While the yards will be open on Mon
day, the same as any other day, no one
Is encouraging shipments of anr extent
until the holiday week Is over with. While
killers always want a few sheep and lambs
during the mid-holiday week the demand,
and conaequently the market, la more or
less erratic and while prices are sometimes
sensationally high they are Just aa apt to
be demoralizingly low.

DON'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Brisk Holiday Retail Distribution
Contrasts with Jobbing Tradtv
LESS ACTTTTY IN IRON AND STEEL
Holiday Period Will t'aaaw Te
nrarr Oaaatlan f Operatlone at
MMafartttrlnar IMants Re-
at Mr t Inn ef Outpat. f
NEW YORK. Dec. 23. -Dun g Rerlerer (
Trade tomorrow will say:
In snap contrast with the between sea
son a slump In jobbing trade Is the brisk
holiday retail distribution, which la re
ported en.ual to or In excess of laat year.
Diminished activity In Iron and steel
Is now to be anticipated, yet It Is evident
that dullness Is more pronounced than la
customary at this season. The holiday
period naturally will cause a temporary
cessation of operations at manufacturing
plants and as rurrent buying is of small
proportions, mills and furnaces are e
pected to still further restrict their outrut.
Pipe Iron has been quite freely taken
and Inquiries for a substantial tonnage
are reported In eastern territory, but with
this exception extreme quietness prevails
In the pIk Iron division. Construction ot
new battleships will require considerable
finished material and It Is estimated that
Sho.ikb) tons of material will he needed.
Rail contracts are coming forward In mod
erate volume, and the outlook for rolling
stock Is better.
In the textile field the main source) of
complslnt comes from the inability of j
manufacturers to secure prices for goods I
rommensurato with the costs of produc- '
tlon and curtailment Is considered.
There Is a moderate business In staple
prints, glnnhams are In active request
and colored goods are steady, with some
forward business already placed by cutters
a.
r.
.miscellaneous export trade Is oulet. In
ness continues generally prevalent In th
lenther market.
A dull market la reported In footwear
which la natural, conalderlng the fact that
the holidays are at hand. The jobbing
trade has been good for Christmas specials
and wholesalers anticipate a continued
good business following New Tear's.
BRADSTHFIF.T'B REVIEW OF TR4DR
Active Retail Deraaaid Farther
Slowing; Down In Indastry.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-nradstreef to
morrow will say:
Holiday Influences ruled this week and
active retail demand contrasts with prs
lnventory quiet In the wholesale and Job
bing trade, a further slowing down In In
dustry over the end of the year period and
stagnant speculation In securities and com
modities. .Money has eased, while supplies
have Increased.
Collections have been slightly quickened
by Increased circulation of money In lead
ing centers. Weather conditions have Im
parted activity to the coal trade, but no
scarcity Is reported. I
Foreign demand for American wheat has I
apparently set In strongly at the Paclfio
coast and shipments to long-absent cus
tomers, such as France and Asia, have
been the heaviest In years. Relatively
best reports as to current trade come from
a few large western centers and. as a
whole, from the south, where good results
from high-priced cotton yields are In evi
dence. Business failures in the T'rilted (Hates
for the week ending December 23 were
271, against 290 laat week. 264 In tha like
wee'. ot 1909, 196 In 1908, 248 In 1S07 and 11

Including flour, exports of wheat from
the I'nited Slates and Canada for the week
ending December 22 aggregate 2,729.817
bushels, against 2.893,697 bushels last week
