Foreign Demand Keeps Up the Price

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

Conditions nurrnundlncr the corn market

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

farmers to rusn tnoir corn to maraea aim

CHICAGO G R A'lTV A7TD PROVISIONS
Features of the' Trading' aud Closing;
Prices on Board of Trade,
CHICAGO. Dec 23. 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. May pork closed i-',ic
higher, at $18.20: May lard 7W1CC up. at
$D.D7ttffl0.OO. and May ribs 7Hc Improved,

HIGH LIVING FOR PET DOGS
lloner tn No Object When Canlnn
I. ore Throbs In Wnmnn's
floatim.
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. .

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."

SHEEP AND LAMRS While the trade
In lambs and sheep was somewhat slow
In tnaktiifr much headway during thn
fit st hour or so In the mornlnn tho mar
ket on the wholo displayed a very fair
desreo of activity once the bulk of tho
ottering beran to move. 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.
