It Is time for a reaction. They thought
the advalico a little too ropld and that
a Jlttle setback was due. On a Rood
break they Intimated that they would
buy tho wheat back. Some ot the best
traders said that the markets usually
harden around the holidays, and It is
not expected that this Jear will be an
exception. After tho first of Januaij.
however, they expect that bearish In
fluences may prevail, us they frequently
do. Thev believe that the 0-cent lovel
m low enough for the May option. Them
are many big traders In Chicago as well
M. n the smaller markets of the country
who rail to recognize tho situation in tho
breadstuffs as being favorable to thu
bull side of the market at present. With
that fact, considering there were 1.32S.000
bushels received at primary markets yec
terday and which is considerably more
than doublo tho receipts of a year ago,
one will think twico before taking on iv
line of wheat with the Idea ot holding
It for a profit.
In addition to this the Minneapolis
stocks havo Increased 1,100.000 bushels for
four days, and the receipts at Minneapolis
and Duluth yesterday were 900 cars, which
was more than double the receipts of a
year ago. The mills ot Minneapolis as
well as Chlca&o continue to run on full
capacity, notwithstanding tho fact that
this Is tho week before Christmas, when
mills aro usually closed down. More or
less cupital Is being made out of this
steady grinding of wheat and those who
are talking of a big flour output fall to
mention the fact that their flour was sold
severnl months ago, and at a time when
a bull furore waa on In wheat and that
every pound of It shows a. loss to the
buyers.
Cash wheat Unchanged to 2c higher.
Lorn waa stubborn yesterday, but the
market Bhowed a good tone at tho close,
iho cash demand was good and sales for
eastern shipment were somewhat larger,
with pet offerings light and shorts being
the best buyers. Traders say to cover
snort sales of December corn, but on any
further upturn to avoid selling May corn.

Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were
weak nt the opening I'nlon Pacific sold
nt 154, a loss ot 2 points, and Southern
Pacific at 1014. the low ixilnt of tho recent
dccllnu and i loss over night of Hi.
Other stocks gavo way at tho snmo tlmo
but opening prices wero generally tho
lowest and tho upward swing soon wit
111. Bear covering assisted In the rise,
which reached nn Increase of 1 to 4
Imlnts among a number of Important Is
sues. Union Pacirio rose nearly 4 points
from Its early low quotation and the
copper shares, stool and American To
bacco developed marked strength. Read
ing wns advanced smartly, but did not
touch tho high mark n-ncned after tho
announcement yesterday of the dividend
Increase.
Decision of tho Rank of England direc
tors to maintain tho C ixr cent discount
rate for the present, wn of only sontl
mentiil Intlucnco here. Although nn In
crciiso In tho rato had been thought prob
able. Tho prospect for adjustment of
European political problems whh pre
sumed to havo Induced the illnvtors to
hold to tho present nil- in splto of the
German demand for gold and the sharp
decllno In tho proportion of tho bank's
reserves to liabilities. Germany was a
bidder for money in this market today,
offering 8 per cent for over tho year
funds, but even at this rate was uiuiblu
to procure them.
Although tlioro wns" little change In tho
local money market, bankers nro uiiwlll
lug to relcaso funds In vluw of tho re
quirements of tho year-end period.

CATTLE Cattle receipts ns usual on a
Thursday wero moderate, only 1,500 head
being reported In. Tho supply, however,
was larsro' enough to meet the demand,
which, though fnlr, was not especially
in gent. Tho receipts for the weak foot
up only 15,500 head, being n falling oft ot
about N.00O bend, as compared with a yrar
ago, Tho light receipts today and yes
terday aro due apparently to tho brenk
In the market, but It should bn borno In
mind by shlppcts thut tho break in cat
tle thlM week was largely nt Chicago,
whoro prices declined nnywliero from 6O0
to $1.00, as compurcd with last week.
Tho few beef steers In sight this morn
ing sold In about tho same notches as
yesterday, thero being llttlo or no chango
In tho market.
Cows nnd heifers .moved a little more
freely than yesterday and the feeling
may have been ,a little bettur. Still the
market did not show much change, being
possibly strong, ns compared with yet
tcrdny. Stock cuttle nnd feeders wero In limited
supply nnd moved nt steady prices.

SHEEP There was n Rood, hedlthv
tone to the trad In sheep and lambs,
with tho packing Interests apparently
hnvlnrc need of the bulk of thr moderot
supply. Good killing lambs wero mote
sought after than Hiiythlng else on sale
the less drslrtihlo offerings and fat ngeil
sheep havtmr to wall until a rood n.-m
of the lambs was disposed ot. Among the
sates enriy in ins morning wero a couple
of loads of fed western lambs averaging
nround eighty pounds that brought $7 .
top for tho day, ns compared with JV.ks
tho highest prlco on yesterday's market
Tho general run of lambs sales was re
gnrdrd ns strong to lOfflSo higher. Whllo
fat owes, wethers nnd yearlings sold only
In a fairly active wnv. values were no.
slbly stronger when compared with tho
irnue on wruncsuny. A good snare or tile
ewes continue to show considerable
weight, and this fact docs not holp their
sale any. During tho first hours a bunch
or fed wethers changed hnnds at $47.
On thn whole thn general trade today
might bo described as strong and active,
with most of tho stuff moving tn the
scales In very good senson.
Only 3,200 head were reported In, which
mnkes a moderate supply for n Thursday
The receipts roll short of last Thursday
by 2,ftio head, two weeks ngo by 4,000 head,
but wero little If any different from one
year ago. tjuallty In general was an
Improvement over yesterday, there being
several londs ot right prime lambs nnd
good owes and wethers offered, Vcrv
llttlo If Hiiy rnngo stuff showed up, and
nsldo from a few loads ot native lambs
and sheep the supply consisted entirely

HOaS There was little or no chanire In
hogs, as most of them were disposed of
largely around $7,004(7.10. these pi Ices be.
Ing thn range ut which the bulk of the
offerings sold M'Slerda. With another
light supply of hogs In slRht most all
buyers bid steudy prices, while the sell
ing side of tho trade wanted n llttlo more
money. A bearish factor In today's busi
ness was the fact that hogs already were
holding a high position when compared
with the market at Chicago. On account
of Iiokh selling relatively high the pucker
buyers wero Indisposed to pay prices uny
better than yosterduy. and In consequence
the sellers eventually parti il with their
holdings on the basis noted above Trade
could hardly bn described as any better
than fairly active, the sellers In u good
many cases finding It difficult in sell
their hogs ut steady figures. A fair clear
ance was made In koui! season. Included
among tne sales whs u load that sold as
high us $7.16, top for the day, and Identi
cal with yesterday s highest price.
