Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, leo. 27. Predictions of rain
or snow where most reeded In the winter
wheat belt made the market here heavy
today. There was sjso a big Increase of
the visible supply. iJile sales were riP
,c to a under the previous close. Corn
finished a shade to o down, oats un
changed to lQ decline arid provisions the
same as Saturday night to 20c below.
Wheat gave way rather slowly. Scat
tered longs liquidated and there was more
or less short selling, neither on a very
liberal scale. .Continued dry weather In
the southwest ' gave the market a half
hearted start, but moderate sales on the
swell resulted In. a downward movement
that had but slight Interruption the rest
of the flay.
The faot that Russian shipments were
remarkably large formed a timely bearish
Influence. Sudden weakening of corn
prices after a Tirm and higher opening
was also . a considerable factor. Then
came talk of moisture tonight In Missouri
and further beyond, the visible supply was
shown to have been enlarged and Kansas
City reported - consignments liberal, with
more to follow. May fluctuations ran from
9i.Va'.'So to WHc. with the close firm at
W'c. a net loss of Ho.
Holder of corn showed a disposition to
unload, but found no good buying orders.
The bulk of arrivals were low grade, mak
ing the cash market weak. No. 2 yellow
closed at 4iVn4;c. U' ranged between
47U48-ic, fliuuhing steady, but Ho net
lower at 47Tc
Oata. though Inclined to be sluggish,
saxged a tittle with other grain. May va
ried from 3W34o and In the end stood Ho
down at 34a344a.
provisions scored a good early rise, but
reacted in consequence of selling. After
trading ceased pork was down ZMi'fl'JOc, lard
was off tH10o and libs unchanged to 2H
(ino decline.

NKW YORK. Dec. 27. The trend toward
fraction which domlmited last week's op
erations In the stock market became rather
more pronounced at' the resumpt on of
business today and resulted In losses of 11
Is.int and over In the better known Issues,
with more severe declines in certain spe
cialties. Trading throughout the session was small
In volume. If surface conditions may be
accepted the heaviness of the list was
largely due to the annressive short selling
by a professional group, which only re
cently was more or less conspicuous for
the extent of its commitments on the other
side.
'I he closing of a local state bank, whose
troubles are commonly bel.eved to be an
aftermath of the panic of 19H7, while In no
articular sense a market factor, was
hardly helpful to the bull account. The
bank's difficulties, however, served to call
attention to the latest report of the state
banking department, which demonstrates
the strong position of a majority of these
institutions compared with a yer ago.
The London stock exchange was closed

were dull and featureless.

CATTLE Today's cattle supply was
quite liberal for holiday week, 112 cars
being reported in. Fortunately other mar
kets were not overly supplied, so that the
trade as a whole was In a good healthy
condition.
There seemed to be a fair demand for
beef steers. 1'ackers all wanted a few and
the feeling on the lighter and butcher
grades of cattle was anywhere from strong
to as much as loc higher. On the other
hand receivers of heavy cattle did not find
packers quite so anxious and while they
would pay steady prices it was hard work
to get them any higher. In fact, buyers
seemed to prefer the lighter grades.
Cows and heifers sold anywhere from
steudy to a little higher In spotri, the gen
eral trade being described aa a good strong
market.
Feeders have been selling very high for
some time back, but they were sUll
stronger this morning. A four-load bunch
of good wbltefaces went to a feeder buyer
at $5.60. The fact la the feeder market Is
now about as high as It ever was at this
ueason of the year.

SHEEP Trade, In sheep and lambs re
ceived plenty of support from buyer this
morning, supplies moving readily at figures
somewhat higher. Advances were moder
ate, however, and Old not exceed ItVfj'ff
as applied to the market as a whole. More
gcllvlty to the demand was largely due
to a light run, nnd It was generally con
ceded that anything like heavy receipts
would have made a slow clearance.
Fat sheep were more plentiful thnn any
other class of atock and sales, of wethers
and ewes afforded the broadest test of the
advance. Fat wethers, aim lar to the $IA)
kind yesterday, went at $4.15, while ewes
sold up as high $3X6. Choice handy weight
wethers are quotable at $4.25 antl better.
Yearlings were good enough to brlnir $7.00,
Indicating an extreme quotation of $5.35.
Only two or three loiuis of lambs worn
available and prices paid showed more or
less improvement, $ti 00 buying fairly good
quality. Nothing suitable for first feeding
or reflnlshlng arrived, e ther In lambs or
sheep, and the feeder branch of the trado
remained unchanged.
