Because of a oold wave predicted for exposed winter crop states and on account ot Manitoba export rumors, wheat today developed decided atrength. The close waa firm at the top prlcea of the session, with a net advance of lc to lVkC Latest sales of corn showed a gain of rac, as compared with last night; oats a rise of Vic to S'aHc, and pro vlsions varying from liVitrfOc decline, to an Increased cost of 7H(j;10c. There waa big buying of both wheat and corn by the leading bulls. Primary re ceipts were small, notably In the north west, and there was reaaon for belief that salea of cash wheat here were larger than reported. Talk of reduced estimates on the Argentina crop had considerable effect and so also did mention of better demand In European centers. Statements that thirty boat loads of Manitoba wheat had been worked for export had a tonio effect. Ad ditional buying force came through visions of possible disaster from a sudden hard freeie. Purchases from prominent houses took on large proportions, .and In the last half of the day made the market almost buoy ant. Tha may option ranged from Mtric to 97VIC, closing lVc net higher at 871ic. Foreigners wera ea'.d to be buying corn here today In consequence of alleged losses ta the- Argentina crop. Prices for local account reached a huge total, two houses alone taking more than 2,000.0(i0 bushela. May fluctuated between 47c and 48'4o and closed 4c up at 48tc. Cash corn did not follow the upturn In futures. No. 2 yellow finished at 4)Q46c. Oats made a fair response to the bulge In other grain. May aold from 33T4o to MUc. and in the end was Ho net higher at :t4i,'ri,l4'4c. Provisions were active, but Irregular. When the day ended, pork was left the name an last night to 7Vc higher, lard up 2'?c to 7Vf l0c and ribs at ZWqkxs decline, to a nickel advance.

USI0N PACIFIC IN GOOD DEMAND Coal Mock Comaplewona for Activity and Vaderlrlnsi strength Read Ins Boagkt by Traders In Advance of Report. NEW YORK. Dec. 29-ln the stock market today prices rose very generally and the movement was unusually comprehensive. The rise embraced not only the standard railway shares, but took In many of the southern and southeastern Issues and various specialties as well. The further gain In Southern railway preferred was coincident with reports that dividends on the stock are likely to be resumed soon. Canadian Pacific was active at a higher price. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were apparently In demand at smart ad vance in the face of distinctly unfavor able exhibits. The coal stocks were conspicuous for their activity and underlying strength and Read ing waa bought by traders who professed to have advance Information that the com pany's showing for November would be more than gratlrylng. The market closed with prices generally at or near the best. London was a buyer on balance, but not enougt to call for detailed comment. The Rank of England's proportion of reserve to liabilities fell to 87.90 per cent, a decline of per cent from the previous week, but compared favorably with the corres ponding week last year. The bank's total reserve decreased over 87.00O.OuO and its bullion holding decreased by 8,7.000,000. Clearances by the Ixmdon banks for the week were almost 8300,000 less than for the same week last year. A striking feature of the weekly state ment of the Bank of France was Its enor mous Increase of about 8-14.000.000 in bills discounted. Belated demands for money caused a flurry In call loans for which the rate advanced to 6 per cent. It Is not Improbable that a further slight dlnturb ance of local monetary conditions may be witnessed tomorrow, but in the Judgment of bankers, the higher rate Is not likely to last long. The band market was Irregular, with es pecially large dealings In Norfolk & West ern converlbln 4s at rising prices. Total sales, par value, 83,425,000. United States bonds unchanged on call.

With ao many cattle on sale on a Thurs day there was every reason tills morning for anticipating a weaker market, but fortunately for the selling Interest, the demand proved to be more active than an ticipated and a a reult desirable beef cattle aold in very good season la the morning, at practically steady prices. There waa, In fact, not enough change In either direction to talk about. Right good well fattened steers sold up as high as $6.30, while there was quite a sprinkling ot cattle good enough to bring $6.00. Cows and heifers were also free sellers, and they too commanded steady prices. The offerings, as a rule, were oleaned up In good season In the mcrnlng, the large proportion of the receipts having; changed hands by 10 o'clock. The supply of Blockers and feeders was not very large, while the demand continue quite brisk the same as lt haa been for a number of days back. Tha result was that cattle of that description also sold In auout the same notches aa yesterday.

Heavy receipts helped to break the market, but the more Important btrarlKh factor teemed to be the alumpy condition of trade in the east, necessitating cheaper cost at this point. Packers were th- largest buyers, as usual, and purchased the big end of the fupply at the lower figure. The demand from shippers was largely of a speculative nature. Movement waa reasonably active from the tart and a very fair clearance was made b, fore midday. ileavlea had to tell around $7.4oti7.50. witii rough and extreme hi-avie-i around $7.35. Good mixed gradf brought 87. 55 and better. The bet linht hog on sale topped at 17 70, with smooth butchers selling In practically the same notches aa good lights.

None of the regular buyers showed very inucli Interest and the resulting market was difficult for sellers from the start. All classes were Involved In the break, but reductions on lambs, even thouirh offerings of this de scription were limited to a few loads, ap peared even larger than declines on sheep. Total receipt were fully normal and con sisted largely of various kinds of sheep. Ewes and wethers dropped to levels about l.K) lower than those noted yesterday, heavy grades proving especially slow. Good ewes had to sell around 83.50 and heavy wethers at 83 90 Indicated an extreme quotable top of $4.10 on choice handy weights. Yearlings, the best on sale, had to move under ayha $5.00 mark, but prime ones would doubtless command $5.16 or better. Iaunb trade ruled around ln25o lower, top quotations dropping to $6.00fj.10. Even at these levels local prices are well In line with those at eastern points, as a com parison of sales will Indicate.

It Is a huge ledge of flna limestone that appears to hava been com pletely forgotten after having one been the source of all of the building stone used in Council Uhiffs for many year. Tha quarry lies Just east of the city, between thn old Chautauqua grounds and rark's mill on the Milwaukee and Rock laland trackage. The working face of tha ledge, at one point la within 100 feet of tha main line of the Milwaukee railroad. Tha ledge lies on the W. S. Mayne farm, In poBsea slon of the present owner for mora than twenty-five yeara. The last time the quarry was worked was when Its owner at that time had a contract to supply the building stone used In the foundation of the Ogden house. Tha stone foundation ot tha old high school building, which rose ten feet above the ground, and alt of the cut stone trimmings used In the construction of tha building, came from this quarry. It was drawn upon also for the stone used In the founda tions of all the buildings erected In tha city forty or more years ago. The founda tion for the Officer home on Willow avnue Is made of the same material. All of these foundations have withstood tha attacks of time and the elements and ara as solid today as when laid, many of them more than half a centilry ago. Tha qual ity and durability of tha tton ara thug fully attested. Tha quantity I said tt be sufficient for all the demands that Councll Bluffs contractors may make upon It for the next century, and tha quarry ilea ao close to town that the cost of transport la reduced to a minimum. -,e - The last time the quarry - waa worked, when the big blocks were taken out for the Ogden house, tha pit at ona point waa sunk to the water level, and It waa at that point that the highest grade of build ing stone was encountered. Huge blocks were quarried, glistening whlta and almost of the consistency of marble. No attempt has ever been made to determine tha thick ness of the ledge by the use of a drill, but the fact has been demonatrAted by artesian well boring that a limes tons stratum 600 feet thick underlies Council Bluffs. No explanation Is given why this valu able deposit has been, permitted go long to remain untouched, while atone for . con crete work has been shipped Into the city from points hundreds of miles distant.
