GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET In Face of Favorable Reports on Crop Prices Continue Stubborn. CORN EXPORTS ARE HEAVY i rv-.iivutiii tii t nmmniiHr ..-...-- Mar Restrict .Mnvement lllft I'rop Kx peeled In Arstnitltui Ont Shorts I'.sner. OMAHA, Lec 31. N12. , Considerable stubborness was displayed by wheat yesterday, and In the fsce of reports from Argentina that the wheat crop of that country Is safe beyond a doubt, ln addition to this, as a ocartsn feature, was a lack of demand for cash wheal. Only C0.i bushels changed hands at Chicago, where a total of over S,..t"J bushels Is now being cnlrled. and only small lots of Canadian wheat were sold to go abroad. The professionals In the wheat trade, while huylne that cereal late In the session were not In a position lu say why .they were buying It They gave as an excuse that some of the big shorts were covering and they deemed It advis able to oven up their positions. The talk of Russia mobilizing troops In tho far east was believed by some to have caused some buying. The seaboard reported freight room engaged for 400.W bushels of grain, and half of this wus saild to be wheat A repbrt was received from the oast saying that the flour stocks In that sec tion of the country are very low slid that the demand for flour Is expected to show an Increase. With the possible expeptlon of advances I nthe wheat markets of the old world, the big decrease In the amount afloat and the small world's shipments, the foregoing Items of news were about all that camo to light that could be put down as favorabU to the bull longs. It wns difficult for a majority ot wheat oporators to seo much on either side last night. The point made by bulls last night was that an Increase of S.oSvs.OOO bushels ln stocks at Minneapolis and Dtl luth last week nnd of only 1,SS4,000 bushels In tho United Stntes' visible supply, showed large disappearance ot whert In other sections,. Cash wheat was He higher. Thn fnrt Hint 'nut of 630.006 bushels of corn sold In Chicago yesterday too.iioo of It was for export attractea general at tention In the trade. Part ot the corn belt Is to have Unsettled weflther, nnd this may possibly restrict tho movement for a few days. The cwn PrpsP.f.cts In the Argentine ale reported as' "magnificent, with the expectation that the total crop will reach 349,000,000 bushels, enmpnred with 273,000,000 bushels a year ngo. Cash corn Unchanged to ',c higher. December shorts wore In the market for oats, and that futuro was quite strong. A special cable reported, the Ar gentine crop as a big one. which will be moved early owing to the lack of storage room there. H. W. Snow estimates the yield nt 102,000.000 bushels and the ex portable surplus at S4,00O,CO0 bushels.

In this connection par ticular notice was taken of big falling off In the European visible supo'y, hav ing the total 7,000,000bushels less than a year ago. Some of the more enthusiastic bulls were declaring that an acute dcmestlo situation could not be avoided nnd that the Argentine crop would cut no figure with the United States. Indisposition of short sellers to carry open trades Into unother year helid prevent any Important setback In wheat. Prolonged dry weather southwest and absence of snow covering had a. discour aging effect on the bear side, tho only weakness of tho session being Just At the start and mainly duo to favorable, weather in Argentina.

Sellers were holding their hogs at pretty strong figures nnd worked hard to push the range of prices higher, so that tho trade a a whole was a little slow. Still there was a fair movement nnd the most ot the hogs had changed hands nt an ealy hour In the forenoon. The prices paid ranged very much the same ns yesterday with the exception that there were more sales toward the top of the range and lees proportion near the bottom. Thus the bulk of tile hogs sold at $7.037,15, with a few loads of the choicest heavy hogs at $7.25, the top proce of the day, the same as yesteiday. Tim strength developed today, though smalt, wus sufficient to carry the mnrket to the highest point touched since I'rlduy of last week. No, SB.. ,Pr. 40 i 99 Ss.

While fat lambs sold mostly steady nnd In spots a dlmr lower the closing trade on fat ewes suffered 11 decline of 15f5c. As mentioned In yesterday's paper the depression nnii duo chiefly to the faot that the pnekern did not Intend to kill on New Year's da The nrrlvnl of a comparatively large supply for a Tuesday did not Improve matters nny. there being about half n tloren loads of ewes and lambs c.irrlcd over for today's tlnde. As might bo exepected on New Year 1 tiny fresh recolptn were very light, belli even smaller than the same day one year ngo. Quito naturally the supply was less than last Wednesday and two weeks ago. Among today's nrrlvals were font loads of Idaho ewes, the remainder of the receipts consisting entirely of fed west erns. There was apparently nn aetlve de mand for what few lambs nnd sheep weir offered, Consequently Inmb Values re covered nny decline In yestei day's tradt and fat sheep might he tegnrded ns a dime higher compared with yesterday or $lP(BI5c lower than the first ot the week Included In the sole wns a bunch of lambs at $8.10 nnd some fed ewes at $4.80.

Neither the high cost of living, about which so much haa been said during the year, nor the continued Increases In the price of gems lins had nny effect upon the demand of the American publlo for diamonds, pearls nnd other precious stones. Tho November shipment of gems to this port amounted to $3,115,529, accord ing lo the figures Jiilt complied by Will lam D. Treadwell, Jewelry oxamlncr rtt the Appraiser's Stores In New York. Of this amount the cut gems, mostly dia monds and pearls, totalled $2,643,141, while the uncut gems ale valued at $372,385. These figures swell tho total value of gems received hero thus far this year to moro than $38,000,000, and Maiden Lane importers predicted yesterday that the December shipments would make a grand total of about $11,000,000. Nlnety-ilx per cent of the gems brought to this coun try are entered nt New York. Those figures are regarded as phenom enal by tho gem trade, in view of tho fact that the necessities of life have been unusually high. In IKW only $12.S62,$tt worth of gems were entered nt this port, while In no previous year, with the ex ception ot 1906, has the tqlal over reached $41,000,0(10. In 1906, which was the great est gom yenr on record, the Imports reached $I3,673,4S8. Last year tho Imports to this city were valued at $40,676,258. During the year the best month for the Importation of gems was July, when the total receipts reached $5,517,116. In every other month, with the exceptions of Feb ruary and March, moro than $3,000,0oo worth ot diamonds, pearls and other precious stones were recorded at the Ap praiser's Stores. During October the gems were valued at $3,998,515. and In Sep tember at $3,(50.386. June was the next biggest month, with a total of $3.(l2,4St The month ot September, October and November have been among tho best of trje year for the receipts of gems, de spite the fact that prices have been con stantly advancing. During that period fine diamonds have Increased in, price ab6ut 15, per cent, and pearls have gone st lit higher. The large Imports for the year are accounted for in part by the hlg demand for pearl necklaces nnd tine pearls, which are most fashionable Just now. New York Tribune.
