Tho exportable surplus In that country was again re duced and In somo of the praylncea the losses were said to be sensational, mainly from hot .winds and Ions drawn out dry spells.

In the faco' of theso ad vices tho Buenos Ayrcs market c-Doned HOK loWar yesterday, and .this caused, many scattered holders to throw their grain overboard. While It Is true that- Argentine shipments were estimated at only 4SS.000 .bushels for this week, thU la nearly 300,000 bushels lyarger than the previous week, but only about one-third' tho shipments for tho corresponding period a year ago. The average speculator refused to be come panicky over the contradlctary cables from lluenos Ayrea yesterday and itosarlo. but sold wheat on all tho hard spots. A feature of the market was tha heavy selling here on northwestern ac count, which was believed to have been in the way of putting out hedges against ine actual wheat. This was over-balanced, however, by the reported takings of ex porters of Canadian wheat, tho figures being placed as high as 800.000 bushels fur the day. A bearish set of statistics on wheat will bo seen Monday and a good sized increase in tho visible Is expocted. Cftili wheat waa unchanged.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PIIOVI9IONS l-rntnrrii of the Trading; and Closing Prices on Donrd of Trade. CHICAGO, Nov. 15. Revival of export demand here and at Baltimore gave cour aen today to the bulls In wheat. Accord ingly the market closed steady at t4c to net advance. Corn finished Ho to lifflHc up and oats with a gain of '.jp to H4jc, out provisions wero down 5c to 15c By' many traders most significance waa attached to sales of hard wheat here to exporters. Corroborated transactions In this line amounted to 173,000 bushels, and attracted special notice because of a uertlons that other similar purchasing here had been kept private. In addition Haltlmore sent word of liberal engage ments of ocean freight room, notably for Cardiff.. Jlcduced crop estimates put the Argen tine wheat yield at the lowest figures yet mentioned, and cut down the exportable surplus of Argentina to GC.O00.00o bushels, as against 75,000,000 bushels twenty-four hours before. Advices from Buenos Ay res told also of too much rain In ihe north and of continued drouth In some of the southern districts. In the corn pit, uneasiness of Decem ber shorts brought about a decided bulge. Offerings of that month were scanty and the movement from rural sources gave little comfort. Wet weather with a forecast of further unsettled con ditions tended to Increase the dread of n squeeze Cash houses bought oats freely. The fact that spot was at a premium oyer December made the trade forget about threats of big imports from Canada.

CATTLE There wero no cattle today, at least nothing ot any Importance, but for the week receipts have been quite liberal, running about the tamo os last week and a little larger than a year ago. At tho beginning of tho week tne mar ket showed considerable strength, prices on Monday being generally lOo higher. Later on tho advanco on beef steers was lost the medium to good kinds being at tho closo of tho week a llttlo easier than lost, week. Strictly good, long feu cauio hnva lieen stronrr. the best, yearlings selling as high as 39.45. Itango beef steers havo also been strong an ino ween, ue Ing at the close a llttlo higher oven than last week. Tho market on cows and heif ers was higher at tho beginning of the week and although it was a little easier later on prices at the close aro fully steady and In spots possibly a little stronger than last week. Veal calves have been strong nnd actlvo all the week and there has been llttlo or no chango In the market for bulls, stags, etc. Blockers and feeders have had a down ward tendency throughout tho week ow ing to the lacK OI goou couiury uu,i a demand. The general run of such cattle are a big 252 lower than last week and stock cslves 60o lower- The fact Is that stock calves are a big dollar lower than it,. Mnh t me two or three week ago. Feeding cows and heifers have eaaed on a nine, nw kinds being snfely 10315c lower.

IIOQS With a fairly liberal week-end supply in sight and advices from other points anything but encouraging the market opened out slow, and first bids were fully a dlmo lower. During the early rounds little was done, a sellers were holding for better prices, but it waa not very long beforo a compromise was .n.i Bihan ih bulk of the offerings started to move values were generally 6 10c lower. Traae was nui ir "'p any time, but everything was cleaned up in fair season. Bulk of sales waa mado at 37.56Q7.75. and tops landed at 17.80. only a nickel below yesterday's beat price. Although the market haa been fluc tuating all week today's values are prac tically steady with last Saturday. Sup plies have been liberal on most days, but lu. hnvini- rlMiiatul has been good. and most of the breaks have been due to Blumps at otner pouus. rri.i.. rM-lntn amounted to about 103 cars, or 7,600 head, bringing the week's total up to o,ua. " r "v 8.0W head as compared with lost week and Just about the same as for the corre sponding week of last yoar. It Is also the heaviest since the first week in Au gust, when over 51,000 head came In. SIIEKP Thero wero about 312 head of sheep on sale, constating mainly of feed ing lambs and some cornfed stuff, but this was not sufficient to make a market. Tho arrivals during the week total up 80 733 head, being 1X965 more' than last week, but 1,149 head short of the corre sponding week a year ago. The principal features of tho week were fairly largo receipts, a substantial ad vance In prices all along the lino on Mon day and Tuesday and tho sharp elump on Thursday making the market on fat Iambs anywhere from 25o to 40o lower than last week's close and mutton of ferings fully 25o off. The drop In values on Thursday was due largely to the big break at Chicago caused by excessive re ceipts and the poor condition of the east ern trade in dressed mutton. Buyers claimed prices on the local market had been on too high a level compared with other points, so were extremely bearish, causing business to l very slow and draggy. On Friday a rather light supply of killers being here, a little Improve ment was evident, which indicated a strong undertone at tho close of the week. There continued a good active trade In feeders on most days and closing Quo tations are steady to lOfitfo better for the week. The advanco was most noticeable on the general run ot feeding lambs and ewes with wethera and yearlings scarce and showing little it any change.
