CHICAGO, Dec. 18. Wheat shorts look
(fright today at a sensational advance In
prices at Huenoe Ayres, the result of In
peasant rains apparently putting an end
to bright harvest prospects In the Argen
tine. The close here was nervous at c
,to lo advance over Hsturday night. Corn
'made a net gain of NVTc to Mf'o and
oata a shade to Hfi'.c. Latent trading
Uaft hog products varying from Zo lower
to a rise of be.
1 Sentiment In wheat was bullish from
the start. Cables from tha Argentina told
not only (if much higher quotations and
cf delay to the harvest, but also of the
twor quality of the crop. A report that
IH boat loads ol Manitoba wheat had
seen sold fur shipment to Kurope had a
further tendency to dishearten the hears.
.1 addition there came word that 175.000
arrets of flour had been disposed of at
tlnneapolia. Free selllna- near tha end
uf tha session led to an unsettled feeling,
but was attributed wholly to a desire to
aeoura profits. May ranged from Dr. to
ll.oo, closing at to:Uc, an advance of lc
net.
Forecasts of unsettled weather hardened
tho market for corn. Huge shipments
from tha lanube attracted attention, but
Old not affect prices. May fluctuated
from to W? closing firm W
40 up at MVUtV :h grades were In
.canty supply. No. I yellow was quoted
at "lc for old.
Oata derived a little strength from
other grain. t'pper and lower levels
touched by tha May delivery proved to be
'Ho and 4xSc, with the close Ho net
blither at 4XTc.
Iilg exports of lard bolstered up the
provision market despite a heavy run of
lioga. At tha end of the day pork showed
a gain ef IV to 6c and other product was
within mo either way from tha figures of
Saturday night.

NKW YORK. Dec. 18. Prices moved In
a hesitating way on the stock exchange.
I n undertone wss heavy and the drift
became more decidedly downward.
tiraoing was lively at the opening. It
was apparent that stocks were helps' sold
as fast as the market could absorb them
and traders on the long side were able
to do little. A few Issues Including
Lehigh alley, the Krles and some of tha
copper stocks showed a fair degree of
strength, but yielded later under a steady
supply. Ihlgh Valley waa the excep.
tlon. It rose to 1M"4. the highest once
in several months. The onlv explanation
of the strength was the railroad report
mat tne management would soon outline
plan of segregating the company's coal
lands from the railroad property.
t niiefl mates hi eel moved with the
other Industrials and closed a point off.
Manufacturers reported that there had
been no falling off In Incoming business
and It was expected that the demand for
rails would become more active.
A large part of the speculative Interest
waa attached to trading In I'nlon Pacific,
which had been sold freely for several
days. The stock was under pressure
throughout the day. Its heaviness acted
as a drag on the market.
The fortnightly figures of the Ruropean
supply of copper were more favorable
than had been expected.
Monds were Irregular. Total sales par
value t3..K8.000 United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

CATTLE Reoeluta were mndsrste for a
Monday, the arrivals being only about
half as large cs they were one week ago,
but still Just about as large as
they were , the corresponding day
of last year. At the same time Chicago
reported an overwhelming flood of cattle,
with prices way lower. With thla bear
feature It waa Impossible for sellers here
to raise prices materially on the moderate
receipts.
The demand for beef steers was verv
good and the trade fairly active. Here
and there it was possible to find a sales
man wno nad something fairly good on
which ha thought prices were a little
strong as compared with the close of
last week. Still it was hardly possible to
quota the market any higher and the
trade.mlght best ba summed up as gen
erally ateady on desirable grades. In
terior stuti would naturally be slow and
weak, owing to the . adverse reports
from Chicago.
Cows and heifers also were In fair
demand and commanded prices that were
generally steady wtih last week's close.
Strictly good feeders were scarce and
they could be quoted steady, but there
waa quite a little sprinkling of medium
kinds of feeders and light stock ers, for
wnicn tne aemana was poor ana prices
lower. .

HOGS Argument for cheaper cost of
hogs centered about A price-smashing
supply at Chicago, that market reporting
over 66,0110 head. Locally the run was
limited, but thla phase of the trade did
not enable sclera to hold out against the
combined influence of heavy eastern re
ceipts and bearish wires. Prospects early
in the session pointed toward a lvtaljc
lower set of prices, the actual market
ruling slow, about a dime off.
Offerings amounted to something like
4.00 head, an estimate that naturally
lacked the variety of recent runa, but
preference for heavies was only a little
mora pronounced than usual and margins
between lard, butcher and bacon grades
showed no quotable changes. . Shippers
and speculatora purchased with some
allow of freedom, furnishing an outlet for
fully one-fourth of the tola). The yards
were practically cleared at 10:3o o'clock.
The best heavies on sale dropped to
til 10. as compared with Saturday's top of
46.17's, and good butchers landed around
46.9Uiao.96. Bacon grades sold from 40.45
down to t6.60 and less, a spread that also
claimed salea of high-mixed stuff. There
were no pigs of consequence on sale.

SHEEP Conditions in the sheep and
lamb trade looked rather doubtful for
traders on the selling; Side, as receipts at
most of the eastern markets were bur
densome. Chicago reported the largest
single day's run since the close of the
range season, and other points In the
big consuming territory beyond the Mis
sissippi river were also well supplied.
Despite these bearish contritions local
packers made only a half-hearted effort
to cheapen cost and started out buying
at prices steady or very neary so. txcal
offerings were fairly large, but by no
means excessive, amounting to aomethlnn
like 12.000 head. Medium stuff proved the
rule and attractive classes that were
properly corn-fed proved the exception.
It follows, of course, that strings with
plenty of finish met with the better de
mand, and usually brought figures little
different from those in force at last
week's close. Weakness wan shown
largely by sales of medium quality kill
ing stock, prices ruling weak to some
lower, with the packing demand none too
active. Toppy fat lambs found an outlet
at to. 75 and good weighty lambs moved
around to. 60. High-grade ewes sold at
93.40 and choice wethers brought liberal
premiums over this limit. Some choice
handy wethers, an offering having a very
fair sort of 2s, reached 34.10. but the big
weights, none of which were breakers,
had to move at 1-75 and less. There were
only a few yearllnga on sale.
Feeder trade was well sustained, but
lacked volume, as the supply and demand
were both small. Desirable ewes went
back Into the country at 13.15. and one
string of warmed-up lambs moved on a
finisher's order at t4.8o. Feeder ewea
were mora plentiful than any other kind
of thin stock.

Revised la Light of Ex
pertenmr.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18,-Appeals for
the immediate reform of the country's
banking and currency system and scien
tific tariff legislation, based upon en
tirely new reasons tha practical experi
ences of the customs service stand out
prominently In the aruv.-.al report of Sec
retary of the Treasury MacVeagh, sub
mitted to congress to-lay.
The secretary of tho treasury foresees,
according to the estimate of experts, a
surplus In the treasury at the end of tho
fiscal year 1913 of about t29.000,000, exclu
sive of expenditures on the Panama canal.
Including the estimated canal disburse
ments the treasury will face a deficit of
approximately tl8,000,000. The total esti
mates of expenditures for next year, ex
clusive of ttie Panama canal and tho
postal service, payable from postal reve
nue, are tC37,M0,8O3. Th estimates of re
ceipts available for the general fund aro
3667,000.000. The estimates for the con
struction of the Panama canal during the
next year are t47,aa,700, making a grand
total of estimated expenditures of I6S5,
184,563. With all the preliminaries for revising
the financial system accomplished, Mr.
MacVeagh declares there is no reason to
postpone action.
Tha tentative plan of the National
Monetary commission,' outlined by its
chairman, former Senator Aldrlch, he
says, satisfies In its essentials the larger
part of the expert opinion of the nation
and is supported by the business men.
The secretary pledges the administration
to do its part in keeping this financial
Issue wholly nonpartisan, believing that
the result should be the product of both
parties.
Ranks Moat D Independent.
In the contemplated reorganisation of
the financial structure, Mr. MacVeagh
emphasizes the absolute need of prohibit
ing all banks, national and state, from
holding stock In other banks, as a safe
guard against any possible formation of
a much feared money "trust" In the fu
ture. He urges equality of national and
state banks in doing trust company and
savings bank business.
The new banking system, the secretary
of the treasury avers, must provide with
distinctness ' and .completeness ample
banking facilities for the foreign com
merce of the United States, which, wit'.i
proper government encouragement, he
believes, wlll be world-wide and world
varied. "It Is Idle to expect," he adds, "that
we shall ever have a developed foreign
commerce without a developed foreign
banking system. Our present By-stem grew
up In a period of Isolation."
To a congress which la expected to
remodel some of the tariff schedules Mr.
MacVeagh urges from the standpoint of
experience the establishment of specific
duties, Instead of ad valorem, wherever
the nature of the article involved makes
that possible. He says:
"The practice of adopting' ad valorem
duties adds to the ease and quickness
with which legislation nicy be prepared,
but that Is Its only helpful quality and
that lonely quality has Its palpable draw
backs. Ad valorem duties lead directly
to the great majority of all the frauds
upon the revenues with which the Treas
ury department has to contend, and they
do all they can to drive honest Importers
out of business. They add exceedingly
to the expense and responsibility of ad
ministration and are responsible in larg
est measure for whatever demoralization
exists In the Importing and customs
business. Theoretically ad valorem duties
may have an appeal, but In practice they
are a delusion and a snare."
The principle of "sclentlflo revision" of
the tariff, Mr. MacVeagh continues,
should be applied not only to the ques
tion of duties, but also to classification
of articles and the language of the law
so that there may be no doubt as to the
Intent of oongress.
"There can be no question," he con
cludes on thla subject, "that the need of
rendering the administration of tho cus
toms business of the country simple,
prompt and certain, with a rational sav
ing of useless expenditure Is an additional
reason of great weight for the enlightened
method of tariff legislation to which the
best sentiment of the country has been
looking forward for more than a quarter
of a century."
Iladacet System Proposed.
Mr. MacVeagh recommends the appoint
ment of a commission, consisting of
representatives of congress and the execu
tive departments, to evolve a budget sys
tem for the government. This is neces
sitated he says by the widely scattered
and disintegrated responsibilities govern
ing estimates, appropriations and revenue.
The abolition of all the assay offices, ex
cept the one at New York is urged by
tha secretary. They cost the government
fl&5,000 yearly, and "the whole amount is
thrown away," ba adds.
Declaring that the work of rehabilitat
ing the customs service has been vigor
ously prosecuted, the secretary says that
developments as to undervaluations and
frauds "continus to be most impressive
and to make it evident that the end of
the reform la not yet In sight" He hopes
to complete the reformation within a
year.
The customs districts are being reorgan
ised and (he secretary announces that ho
will ask congress later to abolish a con
