cmCAOO, Dec. 12,-Whcat showed de
iided strength today, In line with the
stock market and with bullish news from
Argentlnu. Closing figures were steady
at VjC to "SiliJio over last night. latest
trading left corn with a gain of Vc to
'.45Hc oats tc off to ,ic up and provi
sions varying from 2c decline to W.sc
urlvance. , , ,,.,
Wheat at no time had a backset of
more than a fraction. Asldo from the re
covery of Wall street values tho most
Important development was a further
cutting down of the cxlort surplus in
Argentina. Thu estlmato was reduced to
112,000.000 bushels, as compared with 12S,
ivjo.OOO to 130,000,000 bushels In Kptember.
Mav wheat ranged from 89c to 897o, with
last sales io net higher at 89ic. No. -red
cash sold hero today at 15c over the
May price, tho greatest premium on the
"o'rfi rose In sympathy with wheat.
There was talk also that the cold
weather would bring corn Into greater
immediate use. May fluctuated between
4S',?Sl4o and 48c. closing steady, Uc
up at 48'Afi4SHc. Cash grades were in fa i;
demand. No. 2 yellow was nuoted at 4Jji
uSt.e for carlots.
In oats, unloading of December by a
largo cash house weakened that deliv
ery. Otherwise the cereal was governed
bv the upward course of other grain. May
swung from 32c to 33c and closed Uc
dearer at 3JTii33c.
Sustaining orders from packers put

NEW YOKK. IHr. 12.-1 nlon Pacific
was Hddln tho center of activity on the
stock exchange today and there were
further spectacular fluctuations In Its
ptlco. In a Hrlod of excited trading early
In the day it broke 4U points to $L50t.
the lowest flguro since 1908. Later It
rose with a rush to $1.5614, a Ratti of 1
on tho dns .
The market as a whole showed more
stability than during ysterday's distur
bance. Although traders had no further
Information ns to the cause of the un
settlement and speculative sentiment was
confused, there was loss apprehension
on the part of security holders. Tho re
cent declines made prices "moro at (ac
tive ami considerable Investment buying
was reported. There was no reouircnce
of widespread liquidation of high grado
investment stocks, but on the other hand,
offerings were taken with sufficient read
iness to hold up the general level. The
result was that tho market ns a whole
did not respond as readily ns yoaterday
to the break In Union Pacific There
was heavy selling of Rending and it
yielded 214, but elsewhere declines wero
comparatively small. Steel was heavily
traded In. but was woll taken.
Evidence of the strength of tho gen
eral market led to Increased buying and
as Union Pacific began to rally there
was a scramble of the shorts to cover.
The rise In the price of the stocks was
more violent than tho decline hud been
at any time during the last ten days of
unsettlemetit and tho price at olio period
of the Upward rush rose 11 point between
sales. The market, which had not gone
down with Union Pacluc, went up with
it and lending stocks rose to 1 to 2
points above yesterday's close. Trading
grew quieter at the higher level and al
though prices eased oft toward the end
of the day. there was no further unscttle-
nient.
There was further calling of loans bv
banking Institutions on account of tho
shrinkages In value of collateral and the
closing out of weakly margined accounts
was another, unsettling ractor.
Bonds shared with stocks In the recov
ery with convertible Issues making the
best gains. Total sales par value, $2,507,

for a Thursday and the total for tho fottr
days this week foots up 22.SM head, belnj;
only about 1,000 head short of the corre
sponding days of hiHt week, but about
3.S00 head short of the corresponding per

was rather slow on killers.
Uuyera of beef stueiB were out In the
yards In fair season In the morning, but
they were rather bearish in their Ideas.
Such cattle us seemed to find fnvor in

description of the day's trade, would bo

It has beon very unsatisfactory over since
Alouduy. It will bo remomncrea tiiiu

buyers buying cows and heifers us fast
as they could get to them, with seem
ingly very little regard us to price. Ever
since Monday buyers have been acting on
tho opposite course, with the result that
prices have been dropping down hill very
rapidly. Today's murket was safely 25
(fr-tOc lower than the extreme high time
Monday.
Oood feeders were very free f.cllo.rn this
morning at prices generally steady with
yesterday. There was. In fact, little or
no quotable change In the general market
so far us desirable kinds of feeders and
stockers wero concerned. Inferior grades

MHKUP A Ktione active titule featured
the sheep market this morning and any
thing at nil deslrahlo ms killers was dis
posed of In Rood season. As usual of luto
tho streiiRth In allies was more appiireut
on the most deslrahle offerliiRs. Hint is,
011 tho Kood to cholre kinds of hand) -weights
Mostly all lamhs and sheep of
that order met with ready sales and there
seemed to Ivan good undertone to thu
stronger prices. Trade was somewhat
slow on the lii-hetweeli Kr.ides or half fat
lierp tuid In mlis and the hulk or them
showed little If an cIiiiiikc from yester
day's luaiket. A very pronounced featuiu
of todav a trade and of the laxt few days
Is tho uncei tnltity whleh .seems to prevail
on tho murket and ns often follows under
such conditions prices aro ery uneven
This may he iiIIiIIhiUmI to tlm fact that
packer huyeis seem to have limited orders
011 some days and as soon 11S theli olders
are apparently filled for the iluy thoy
practleaPv shut down Ptider these elr
eumstiinees the most desirable offetlniii'
sell first and the hners are sonitlntes
afforded mi opportunity to discriminate
annlnst the less desirable kinds of both
sheep n nd lambs. Aiiioiir tothiy's sales
were two or three bunehrs or fed western
ewes that sold as hlKh us 4.tV
As on ycsteiila) Teeders were In IlKht
"iiPPly. thero lielnB praetlcajly little or
liothlnK from tho ranne en salo nt all.
The deuiHiid for ratiKe stuff continues
very limited, as tnlKht be expected at thin
time of the year. Wlmt lambs nnd sheep
are purchased for feedlinr purposes aro
Inrrrely oil the short fed ordet to be
taken to the countiT for the hocotid time,
A Rood deal of the stock shlpin-d out Is
with a view to sheatitiR. Prices showed
little If any Improvement over Wednes
day's trade.

The railroad company has entered into
a IntiB-tline contrnrt with the oil com
panies at Casper, agreeing to take Iho
necessary supply of oil for running the
engines. This Is somewhat elastic as to
quantity, but It In flfiured that as noon

consumption will bo from 120,000 to 103,000
gallons.
In the Casper field the oil that will
be burned by tho Northwestern engines
bus been practically one of the by
products nnd fins had llttlo value. It Is
the remaining product after the Kerosene

refineries. When warm It flows freely,
hut when cold Is of about tho .consistency
of a heavy dully. In burning It Is abso
lutely smokeless.
