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. Cash
oats unchanged to Uo higher,

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-ProspcUi of en

Handsome export cloat slices, 1. 152.000
bushels for tho day, hail much to do with
whent strength. 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.
December wheat options expired with
out unusual features except a sudden up

CATTLE Cattle receipts were very
light today, shippers evidently being
afraid to trust very many cattle on the
market on u holiday. It wns Just ns well
that It wss so, as thu demand, though
very fair as compared to the number of
cattle here wns by no means large.
The few beef steers on sale as a rule
changed hands In very fair season at
prices that were In the main stendy with
yesterday. Thcro was nothlpg very choice
in the ynriK, but still there were caltlo
hern good enough to bring $8,25,
Tho few scattering binds of cows and
heifers ulso commanded fully steady
prices and It did not take buyers very
long to clean up me yards. 111 ract pretty
much everything had chnnged hands by
10 o'clock In the morning and tle yards
deserted,
Thcro wero only a few scattering feed
ers on sates, but they commanded good
firm prices, the market being fully ns
strong ns on previous days thin week.

HOGS Holldnv Influence was nlalnv
discernible In the meager hog receipts
this moinlng, In spite of the holiday, how
ever, there wns a fair demand on the
part of buyers so that the market opened
anywhere from steady to as much ns 5c
higher than yesterday's general mnrket.
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.

SHEEP As a result of tho bearish feel
ing on the sheep market yesterday, clos-
I
Injr ttadn on sheep and lambs, and espc
daily 011 ewes was slower than, at nn
lime lu the morning.. 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. Tim
four ears of range ewes from Idaho
brought $4,10 as feeders. Proctlcalh"

SPARKLING TIDE OF DIAMONDS
lllgrli Cost of l.tvlna Mremlnirlr '
Ilnrrler lo Phenomenal
Nhlpnients.
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.
