OMAHA, Dec. 2S, 1912.
Instead of strength ana activity, as
looked for by the bull longs In wheat, be
cause of the advance of So at Uverpool
yesterday, there was weakness soon after
the opening and only a moderate trade
In the aggregate. The cash business failed
to show any Improvement, as Bales at
Chicago amounted to only tfi.ooo bushels,

ns much fuss made over the sale ot
Brain at St. Louis as one would expect to
hear over the sale of three boat loads
under ordinary conditions.
Those who bought wheat a few days
ago on the. talk of dry weather In tne
southwest made up their minds yester
day that their action was a little prema
ture and they sold out at losses. Tno
Modern .Miller, In its outlook on the south
western situation says that while the
wheat plant is In need of rfcln In many
sections, good downpours would chanKe
the situation entirely. A message from
Kansas City told of the country as heavy
sellers of cash wheat, and said that no
tices of liberal acceptances to nearly
every firm thero were In evidence.
This selling on the part of the country
shows that the wheat plant Is not de
teriorating. The Santa Ke road officials
say their advices as to crop conditions
contain no drouth complaints whatever,
save In the Panhadlo section of Texas,
but In every other part of their territory
the crop Is doing nicely. Conservative
men of wheat view the northwestern sit
uation as one ot the most bearish In the
history of the Chicago market. There Is
a big accumulation of wheat at Minne
apolis, In fact, the railway switches are
so badly congested that It Is Impossible
to handle the cars with any freedom.
There were Increases In the Minneapolis
and Duluth stocks this week ot 2,900,000
bushels.
The tone to corn was pronouncedly
heavy owing to the Increased receipts at
primary points and elsewhere. A Buenos
Aires cablo reported a better demand for
com, but the receipts from the interior
are pair and the quality good. The open
winter has cut -down the feeding of corn
materially and this fact Is being felt In
prevailing prices.
With the slow demand for cash oats
and continued larger receipts lower levels
ahould be witnessed. Many traders favor
the selling side of May oats.

265,000 bushels; corn, 6,000 bushela; oats,

NEW YORIC. Dec. 2S-Aftcr a week of
colorless trading and stagnant markets,
stocks moved In u definite way today
and quotations were depressed in nil quar
ters of the list. Trading becume more
active following n featureless opening,
with tne impetus coming from tho near
taction. Thero was no demand fur
stocks and the bears were ablo to mnk
headway on comparatively moderate of-
lenngs. .Most of ho prominent issues
were depressed a point or more, with a
partial recovery before the close. The
weakness of steel was a depressing in
fluence, and selling of Canadian Pacific
from abroad affected the railroad list.
Apparently there was no well grounded
reason for tho weaker condition of tho
market, wjtlcli whs more active than for
several days, and the declines seemed to
bo little moro than n response to opera
tions of tho professional clement.
The expected gain In cosh by tho banks
was reported In today's statement which
revealed an lucrense In tho actunl table
of nearly $5,000,000, an amount In excess
of estimates. There was, however, a de
crease In excess cash reserves of $1,740,000.
Some Indications ot tho more conserva
tive feeling In trndo was contained In
the weekly reviews. The holiday trado
as described as uf recoid sire, but h
blowing down ot business In ceitnln Hues
Has noted. In general, however, tho
trado situation remains satisfactory In
"olume.
The bond market wns under moderate
pressure. Total sales (par value). $S96,000.

fered for the former and a2c for tho latter.
The wheat market, while still bearish,
on the foreign situation as reported yes
terday and the accumulation of stocks
in the northwest, was In the mam charac
terless. Somebody reported "rain In tho
Argentina," but the trade regarded it
largely as a cry of "wolf" and Ignored
It, May ranged between 9lHc and 91c,
closing USJHo under yesterday at 91',ic
A range of U marked the widest flue
tuatlon of corn prices. May sold be
tween 4Slic and 4So and closed u shado
down at 4S18Hc At the bottom thero
were plenty of buying orders, but these

easier. May ranged between 32410 320

CATTLE Receipts uf cattle have been
very moderate all the week, ns usunl ht
this season ot the year They have, how
ever, been considembl lighter even than
last year, owing to the fact that operator,
on tho market have made ovtiry effort to
keep receipts down at all points so ns
to glvo tho markets ot tho country an
opportunity to recover from the glut of
early Inst week.
Under tho Influeneo of moderate re
ceipts thnro has been come Improvement
In tno market, but this Improvement Ims
been duo to moderate shipments at nil
points rather than to any Increase In the
demand. Tho fact Is no one Is looking for
a very brisk demand al any point until
tho surplus stocks ot meats In the coolers
of the country have been cleaned up.
During tho week beef steers at this
point have gradually strengthened up
until they aro uround 25a higher than last
week, but It Is very evident thut tho dn-
mand Is still slacic.
Cows and heirers have shown moro im
provement thnn any other cluss of cattle,
being around 4n"tf00c higher than tho low
point lost week.
