GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Foreign Demand Keeps Up the Price of Wheat Locally. CORN MOVEMENT IS HEAVY Marketing of Ont line neen Slow Decantn of the Cur Slinrlnto nil Becnnae Farmers Are Selling- Thetr Corn. OMAHA. Dec, 23. 1912. A demand from abroad Is necessitry In order to keep the prico of wheat from breaking irlto low levels. When Uio mar ket closed on Saturday sentiment Was rather bearish, but the bears lacked a leader and only a moderate price loss for the day waa seen. On all the hard spots of last week the May future came out lit lots to suit and the selling was generally accomplished through one set of broknni, showing beyond a doubt that big holders In the trade were anxious to dispose of at least u part of their line. The longs left no stone untumtd In their search for material to better their con dition. They have told of flour sales that vers never msde and thoy have also told of a reduction In the surplus of Argen tina as well as a reduction la the Cana dian wheat crop, all of which were made out of whole cloth. A drowning man will grab at a straw or. In fact, anything that ho mar see nfloat In the hope ot gaining terra flrma. The big holdora of cash wheat through out tho country as well an those carrying the May option at Chicago, may at tho present be compared with a drowning man. 'mere jB no telling, nowever, juai what will materialise to hc'.p tha holders of wheat out of what some call a pre dicament, as there are changes to be seen from time to time that may cause a complete reversal of the market condi tions. ,T. Meladv. the croD exceri. who has been observing the South American wheat neias ror tne last two montns, reiurneu to Chlcaro JYldav and tMHUed tne louow- tng reoort. "The Argentina crop Is being harvested and threshed under very favor able conditions, but there are possibilities of a change to unfavorable weather and losses in quality as wen as quantity. The totai trade In wheat at Chicago has been of a Drofesslonal character for some weeks past and It Is more nervous under these conditions than It otherwise would be. The average scalper Is looking for. quick turns In prices and ho is willing to take a small profit under any con ditions. The big traders are onlookers and the public Is out of tho market al together. Cash wheat unchanged to Mo lower. Conditions nurrnundlncr the corn market point to an abnormally heavy movement, were the railroads In a position to tako care of all the grain ortered. Many re Tvirtu hfLvn hn received of Door yields of corn, hut from those very Points tho offerings nave been more iiDerai inn from nnv other jtectltins. Manv Of tliese complaints came from Iowa, and while thn truthfulness of theso claims Is not disputed, the Increaied offerings from that state show that, the crop must be snorted, with noor yields in some piacea and large ones In others. Cash corn was tinchani?n(l to Ai lower. Tho marketing of oats has been rather alntir nf late, nartlv lu.ca.USA of car short age nnd partly because of the desire of farmers to rusn tnoir corn to maraea aim look after the oats later on. Cash oaU unchanged to Vic lower. There will bo session of the Chicago or Omaha board Wednesday, IJccemoer a. Clearances were 68.000 bushels of corn, 61.000 bushels of oats and wheat and flour eaual to 1.0i3.(i00 bushels. Liverpool closed unchanged to (d lower on wheat and Hfl'ttd higher on corn.

A decrease In the domestic visible supply advanced wheat prices U6T4c today. Corn closed WaSlc to o up, and oats, a shade to Uo down. Provisions gained from 2ttc to 12ttc, At tho outset lower cables, based on heavy American shipments, gave the wheat market an easy tone, particularly as a liberal increase In the domestic vis ible supply was expected. Trade for a time was of a scalping character. With the report that the visible supply had de creased 84,000 bushels the covering orders of shorts were reinforced by purchases from other quarters, particularly tho southwest. The demand from the latter source was said to be Influenced also by a good milling demand. May sold be tween 90S2c, closing lio up, at Ol'ifctV-'e. Spot wheat was In fair demand. In, the corn market the first hours of trading developed an easy tone on the flno weather, but the bulge In wheat prices advanced and closed nt the top, Cash Iota generally wero a little lower. Car shortage lit Illinois and Iowa Is re stricting the movement. May ranged be tween 48'Ui4Sic and 49c, closing 'WJ'.ic higher, at 19c. Although there was a fair demand for oats for future deliver' and despite the strength of corn and wheat, oats closed with a Blight net loss on the day's trans actions. A drop of ttc In the spot mar ket seems to have Influenced consider able local selling of futures. May sold between 3$ttQ3Uc, closing a shade down, at 33U6S3UC. The local run of hogs fell 10,000 below expectations and the consequent advance at the yards caused higher prices In the provision Pit.

Women who have Htrugglcd unsuccess fully against tho strict rulo of Now York hotels against canine visitors will bo glad to know how ono woman now rwidlW at the RItz-Carllon lias overcome It. The woman, who Is well known In New York society, went to the Ritz-Carlton and engaged a suite of four rooms and three baths, for tho winter, at a cost of 150 a day. The hotel management won dered how she wns going to una thn rooms. There was u living room, a bed loom and bath for herself, and a room i and bath for her maldj. Rut she vouched ' ' no explanation for the third bedroom and bath. When the management asked about It. alio replied: . . "Why that is for the rest of my family my babies." Then there was more mystery, as the woman has no immediate family. Rut tho coming of the "babies" put an eni to tint mystery. The little onea were two Jap anese and ono Pekinese spaniels "Rut, madam, wo do not allow dogs In the hotel. It Is strictly against the rules,' protested the manager. . "I engaged the rooms for the winter, didn't 17 I'm paying for them, unci guess that my dogs will stay If I do." the woman replied. Even the threatened loss of ISO a day for six months did not move tho man ager, so the woman changed hor tactics, "Rut I love them so. They will make no trouble. I bae a maid who does nothing but look after them. I am cer tain' they will bother no one. Please let them stay. I cant llvo without them." Tills and much mora of tha name kind of pleading, whioh nearly ended In tears, .. .... ' ' .... .v. iinany persuaorn i ..i.a.ci .

The packers seemed to want some Rood killers, but wero not much Inclined to pay price, much better than Ihe close of last week The Rpneral trado on both fat aheep and lambs might be described as steady to stronsT With a very Rood undertone to values. A somewhat bearish factor In the tratto was the fact that tho packer nro not going to kill on Christmas diiv consequently they did not care to have any morn stock on their hands than what wns needed for today and tomorrow About 300 head of well finished fed west ern lambs sold as high as 17.90. A couple or loads or snorn lamos orougnt n.a. Kor th s time of the year a very fair trado wan donn III feeders, there being: In tho neighborhood of twenty cam of rans lambs and sheep on sale. On account of thn fins weather and splendid range con ditions that have prevailed In the north western states an ran, soma or. tne sneep men are shinning out stock later In thn season than usual. Tho milk of the west- , ern shipments was sold for feeding pur-. poses, among which were a string of feed iik inmtis at it.od and some range went ers at 14.00. A load ot warmed up stuff. was picked up as feeders at tu.vo. mere srems to be a good outlet for most tof the reenern coming ana pneos ars aoout tn same as the close ot last .week. Tho total receipts were rainy large for Monday, as around forty-four earn or 10,700 head were- reported In. as compared with 9,168 head a week hro ana ii.iw head two weeks ago, Aa to fat sheen and lambs the supply was pretty evenly di vided, thero being some good lambs, but few good sneep orrerea.
