that a lower price. The volume of busl
nss m wheat has been small for some
Utnn past and it has been confined al
most exclusively to the ranks of profei
slonals or room traders.
i'i2-ca.Uon8 aro tlmt 11 w"' take some
thing of an unusual character to stir up
the world into wheat speculation again.
Tho public has made up Its mind that
the wheat market at Chicago la controlled
larfely. by a "maii clrc,e Of rich men
and they are enabled to put the price,
up pr down at will. In case of a runaway
bull market the Chicago crowd of big
holders would be thrown aside ahout like
so much chaff, but In the meantime they
would be disposing: of their holdings at
handsome profits. The possibilities In
wheat are great although the situation
statistically Is bearish at the present. In
tho event of a crop scare In the spring,
which Is not at all unlikely, there would
be a scramble of shorts to cover, Any
thing like that would act like wildfire
on the speculative community, not only
In wheat, but In other commodities. Cash
wheat lower.
clearances of wheat ahd flour were 9-!l,-it(tt
bu.; corn, 94,0000 bu.; oats. 75,000 bu.
No market at Liverpool on account ot
holiday.
Primary wheat receipts were 2,120,000 bu.
and shipments 564,000 bu., against receipts
of 3(7,000 bu. and shipments ot 323,000 bu.
last year.
Primary corn receipts were 2,049.000 bu.
and shipments 6M.C0Q bu., against receipts
of 439,000 bu. and shipments of 335,000 bu.
last year.
Primary oats receipts were 1,374,000 bu.
and shipments G78.0OO bu., against receipts
of 600,000 bu. and shipments ot 350,000 bu.
last year.
The weather condition continue excel
lent for shipping and moving1 corn, .Farm
ers and country elevator concerns have
been free sellers during the last week.
It Is now oply a question of' railroad
equipment as to tho volume of new corn
receipts and those In a position to know
look for stocks to Increase rapidly, as
the cash demand Is quite small. Cash
corn tea lower.
Never In the history of the country
have the farmers enjoyed a fall like the
one Just closed. It has been dry and cold
and favorable for the finishing of the
outs crop, so much so that when our
Brain Is made ready for shipment across
the sea It will be in a condition to with
stand almost any kind ot weather en
countered. Cash oats ic lower.

CHICAGO. Dec. 36. Drj' weAther In the
southwest was Influential In advancing
the wheat' market today, particularly
the July delivery, which closed W3o
over Tuesday. May gained UtTTio net.
Corn closed a shade higher to HSUc
depressed. Provisions gained slightly In
price.
Farmers of the southwest, through
brokers, declared that their wheat fields
are bare of covering, and that unless
there Is a blanket ot snow soon January
bids fair to develop damage to thq Kcrm
lnatlnr( crop. Tho effect of this news
was felt mostly by the July option, which
was purchased lllwrally, as waa tho
May, May was sold rather frecl) pre
sumably against cargoes of Duluth wheat
bought for shipment In the' spring for
Chicago or Huffulo. and against Minne
apolis and South Dakota salca of cash
wheat to arrive by rail, matter saies
were on a basis ot liSc below tho price
ot May In this market. Kxcept Paris,
foreign markets were closed, but a well
known English authority cabled the
statement that North America IioUIb tho
key to the shipping1 situation. The trade
mostly Ignored such bearish news as the
heavy primary receipts and the final
government report showing that Kansas
raised 92,000.000 bushels of wheat this
year, as against 51,000.000 bushels In 1911.
Julv sold between SSHc and 89liXHo,
closing 14SIHO advance, at 89c. May
ranged between 9t4c and Kift92lc, clos
Intf USio up at 914c.
With favorable weather and the move
ment of the crop to market limited only
bv the cars available, corn ruled easy.
Tho temperature Is too mild to can ior
heavy feeding as yet. uasn nou ral
a leading speculator led the selling.
Fluctuations were nariow. May selling
between 4So and 4Slfr8Sc. and clos
Ing lc down at 4Sl4c.
Trade In oats was uneventful, except
for small sales by December longs to
cash houses. The tone was barely Bteady.
May ranged between 32i4c and 38 S3lc
and closed WUo depressed at 32ic.
The provisions market waa stagnant
and fluctuation very narrow. May pork
closert MWVio higher at "8.3WS.32H;
May lard was a shade up at M0.00, and
May ribs, 214c Improved at $9.3214.

NMW YORK, Ilea 2.-There were no
signs today ot an awakening- of the stock
market from the lethargy Into which It
has fallen lately, Trading was even duller
today than during Tuesday's listless ses
sion. It was the smallest day's business
since July, 1911, with a total of 101.OM
shares. Holiday conditions still obtained
and, with foreign exchanges closed and
money rates soaring, there was little In
centive to do buslnos. While variation
were unusually small, a firm undertone
prevailed despite the flurry In money,
which sent up the rate for call funds to
12 per cent.
Prices eased off fractionally when In
terest charges were otlmblng, but later
recovered. Trading1 In the local trabttou
issues wan again unusually active and
some further gains wero made. A few ot
the specialties moved widely. Included
In this list were Pullman and Sears-Koe-buck,
which wero rtronr, and Rubber,
which sold down morn than 3 points.
Iackawanna was unusually active, but
Its prpe was little affected by the an
nouncement of the terms of subscription
to tho new stock Issue. Standard Oil Is
sues were active and strong on the curb.
Standard Oil of New Yortc advanced to
690, a rise of 10G points In less than a
week. Other oil shares rose 36 to W
points.
The tightening of money rates was not
unexpected and Its effect was minimized
by the dullness of tho stool; market, tho
demand being so light that the rate eased
off before the close, Vnonrtalnty of the
money rates during tho closing days ot
the year will contlnun to act as a drag
on speculation.
The November 1 return from transcon
tlnental roads catno In today and In each
case substantial gains In. both grows and
net earnings were shown. Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Atolilson and North
western all reported gains, while from
tho south a good return was made by the
Southern.
The bond market was quiet and Irregu.

o the fuct that prices at this point wero
already high nx compnred to those pre
vailing at ChlcBRo and other eastern
points tit feeling here was weak and
outside r a few' sales made during the
llrst rounds beet steers were unywhero
from weak to ioo lower than Timnday,
It might ho added that the quality of the
cattle today was better than usual, thero
being quite a number of loads of right
good killers on sale. As noted 1fore In
these columns the only safe policy for
sill icrs to follow until there has been
lim lor recovery fiom last wetk's glut
nf eastern mnrkets. Is a policy ot mod
erate shipments of all kinds of beef
cattle.
The few cows snrt heifers In sight tills
morning sold at steady lo possibly a
llttfo higher prices.
There were only a few scattering
bunches of stock ratlle and feeders and
they commanded good steady to strong
prices.

NEW YORK. Dec. M.-The fU'tseArt
passengers ond eighteen of the crew of
the United Fruit company's steam:. H
Turrlalba. ashore since yesterday mor.
Ing at Brlgantlno rhot'.s, nine mites 1 irtl
of Atlantic City, N. J., arrived hern laat
night on board the ITnlted States revt iv
cutter Seneca.
The cutter had stood by the strande
eel all last night, and nt 9 o'clock th
morning passengers, part of the crew ntid
the baggage and mall were rafely trai .-.
ferred and the setamer started on ll
Christmas Journey to this port. The r.rn
was smooth and' tho weather fair wi'.e'
the transfer waa made and the passen
gers experienced little discomfort A
Christmas dinner waa provided by the
officers of the Seneca.
'It wan not as had as you thought I
was." vouchsafed an elderly man as he
stepped, first among the rescued passen-
gers. from a gang plana at an East river
pier tonight "We had plenty to eat and
drink on board the Turrlalba,"
Friends' lur Relieved.
Scarcely a hundred relatives and
friends of the passengers were waiting
t the pier, for wireless messages duriUK
the day had brouplit word that all on
board tho stranded steamen were safe
and that the Seneca was 6n Ita way
with the rescued party to the? company's:
pier.
According to reports brought here, the
Turrlalba lies with propeller damagod,
stern post cracked and rudder missing,
With good weather the vessel will be
saved, It is expected, though It cargo
of bananas may have been tossed over
board. The Seneca arrived gt, quarantine
shortly after dark, nnd was boarded thero
by United States customs officers. Pas
sengers reported, that several Hours
earlier the HanUw Marta. sister ship ot
the wrecked Turrlalba, outward bound,
met the Seneca. The Santa Maria's pas
sengera lined the rails and cheered thn
rescued men and women on the revenue
cutter.
J'repare for Drownlnir.
According to stories told by; parscngers
upon reuchlng here tpnlght, many of
them propared for death by drowning
after the Turrlalba, ateamlnjr thrpugh a
snowstorm on Its way from Jamaica,
West IndleM, to New York, grounded on
the Jersey sands tn the early hours of
yesterday.
"Wo were reconciled to our fate
narrated Police inspector Edward
Hushes of this city, returning with his
wife from a trip In search of health,
"We talked about the Titanic, and we
nan now appreciate something of what
the poor pussengers on that Ill-fated sh p
experienced.
"Everyone prayed when the storm
waa at Its height, nnd thane who had
wIveB, we well, you can think It over
for yourselves, young men," ho said to
reporters,
"I think we struck thn sand bar at 3 .i
4n the morning; I, among, others, caitu
out on deck to sen what was tho caus
of the peculiar situation thoshlp appar
ently quivering as If she wns going tn
break. The weutlim was thick, it win
snowing and the wind from the noil li -
east,
r.iiKhiox Nlopiied,
Then the engine wern shut down, and
all that could bo heard waa the nolso tif
breakers striking against live ship. Later
the engines wern reversed nnd effoi'i
were mado to bacK off the bar, hut the
ship did not respond,"
