OMAHA, December 27, 1913.
Persistent rennrt nf ilrv xvpflthpr nn the
xx Inter wheat belt tins caused many pro-
icsRignam in the trado to take on long
.Ines of May and July wheat. Some of
the most conservative and well posted
men la tho Chicago market believe that
taking on of wheat nt this time because
of dry weather is premature. There has
been no snow covering as yet. and it
would sent reasonable to suppose that It
Is likely to maku its appearance in a lib
eral manner shortly, it Ik hnltnvpd that
tho spring wheal receipts' at Minneapolis
and Duluth ore likely to overbalance tho
Misting bullish conditions. The fact that
rxponers anu millers showed no uesiro
(o follow tho advancing mafUot yester
day reflected the nctnnl rnndltlnn more
than anything nlee to develop. Sentiment
on wneai was decidedly one sided yester
day and favored tho bull side In . pro
nounced way. This fact showed that thu
professionals in tho market wcro anxious
to follow any pood buying, and with tha
offerings small, an upturn was an easy
matter for those wanting higher prices.
The fact that the Winnipeg market was
strong and that there were reported good
sales there on export account, caused
tomo buying at Chicago. Considerable
wheut is being worked from Minneapolis
to eomo to Chicago, one firm having
bought two lots Tuesday and yesterday.
These transactions, show' that Chicago Is
tho highest spring wheat market at pres
ent and with speculative trado moderate
there are many who believe that -values
will give way under any volume of hedg
ing sales. Several cargoes of wheat were
bought at Duluth to come to Chicago.
Ono of the leading sellers' yesterday's
business umountcd to 800,000 bushels of
May wheat. Wheat at Its high point yes
terday was up nearly 4c for the May
option, from the low point recently made.
A good many traders were bullish last
night because wheat had had a creep
ing advance. Cash wheat unchanged.
Gossip on corn last night waa mostly
bearish. Those who watchod the market
closely said the main strength came from
wheat. Eastern bids for export were
mostly out of line. Some of the cash,
licople claim they see evidence of a
loosening up in the cash situation, but
this Ib not visible in a canvass of the
railroad offices. While there were many
shorts buying corn yesterday, tho offers
exceeded the demand nearly tho entire
session. Cash corn unchanged to He
lower. , ...
Oats failed to hold up in price yester
day, but the losses for tho day wero
mall. Tho offerings wero larger and
the support was not in evidence. Cash
oats unchanged to Ho lower.
The following cash sales were reported
today: Wheat-No. 2 hard winter: -cars.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Sueh variations
In prices as tho stock lists revealed at
the close of today's business wero for
tho most part looses, but so far us tho
stnndard stocks were concerned the move
ment was slight. It was another day
of unusually small business and utter
lack of Initiative, with speculative Inter
est at tho vanishing point. Tho principal
fluctuations wore among tho specialties.
Harvester, beet sugar, can and rubber
Ml back from t to 4 points, each.
For n, time early In tho day tho railroad
shares gave some Indications of strength,
and the coppers moved upward In keep
ing with tho advance In tho metal Ivbroad.
but." tho rise was small and ot short
duration.
Money rates fluctuated in an erratic
way. Tire opening was at 10 per cent,
from which it was advanced quickly to
12 per cent. Renewals wero made at
12 iWr .cent, the highest renewal rato ot
the year. Tho rate fell off steadily nnd
during tho afternoon 7 per cont was
quoted. At tho samo time It was reported
that various out of town banks which
had deposited funds horo for loaning wcro
holding out for 15 per cent. The domand
for accommodation, however, was small
nnd toward the close tho quotation fell
off until offerings wero mndo at 1 per
cent.
A further cash gain by tho banks was
Indicated In forecasts of tho weekly state
ment, estimates being lit tho neighbor
hood of Jl.000,000. It Is expected that to
morrow's statement will reflect a return
of cash withdrawn for Christmas, which
caused a smaller gain In cash last week
than had been Indicated by known move
ments of money. Tho bond market wns

C'ATTLli Cattlo receipts wore vety
light, there being all fold only forty-six
cars in the yards. This leaves the total
for tho five days this week at tl.sso head,
being n falling off of ono-half as com
pared with tho corresponding days lust
week unil n year ago. Thcro were how
ever, cattle enough considering that tho
domund at no point Is very brisk Just
at present.
Practically all kinds of cattle, steers,
cows, heifers, and feeders commanded
good steady prices and the trado wns
reasonably nctlve so that pretty much
everything In sight had changed hands
by 10 o'clock In tho morning. As high
tic $8.C0 was paid fur good beef.
As noted befurn In these columns east
ern bobf coolers are full of meat and
tho ccllng Is general among operators on
tho market that tho proper iollcy fur tho
country to follow Is to ship lightly for
tho next fow days, thus giving the various
llvo stock markets of tho country' an op
portunity to recover from thn sevcro
slump of a week ago. Prices at this point
havti been very satisfactory all this week
an compared with those prevailing at
other selling points, beef Bteers being
around 26030c higher than a wcok ago.
with cows nnd heifers toyooo higher than
last week's low point.
Quotations oil cuttle. Oood to choice

eral loads of choice heavy grades at $7.3.1,

soy tomorrow:
What in described In most sections of
thn country us 11 record holiday trndn
has croxxned a year of which has hnd
few equals nnd fowrr nupurlora In nearly
every lino of human endeavor. Thin, of
course, refers directly to volume of
product or x'alue of output rather than to
muigtii!) of profit, which uro conceded
to have been cut In many lines.
Rest rclwrtn nn to hollnny and retnll
trado camo from the xvent, northwest,
most parts of tho southwest and thn
Pacific coast. In tho eastern states trade
htm boitii good and thero nro many large
centcrn reporting tho year end trade as
breaking nil records. Lcnn buoyant ad
vices camo from the southeast of thn
Mississippi, but hero shorter yields are
held mntnly responsible, in xvholefnln
trade nnd Industry thcro has been a
quieter tone.
Ah tha year closes tho feeling In one of
cheerful conservatism, but not of pes
sliulfcin, becattro of tho fact that thmo
to seven montlw orders are tn hand.
The end ot thn yenr finds tho labor
situation quiet ns a whole after a year
notable fur some big striken and for
many xvldcsprcad xvago advances.
Holiday dullness prevails In the New
York stock market, the rencxx'ed firmness
of money dun to ond-of-tho-year require
ments also checking speculative activity.
