OMAHA. Dec. 24. 1913. i
Kvery active grain man In the United I
States, as well ns many of those known
as "bonanza farmers," 'are cither per-j
scnally acquainted wtlh famul V. Al
lerton, or know him by refutation. Mr.
Allerton Is one of the largest land owners
Ih Illinois and has for many years been
largely Interested as a Brain grower and
has an Insight Into crop prospects, that
very few men possess. Mr. Uerton, on
lils way to the Pacific coast, passed
through Kansas and gave the Browing
wheat nlant unusual attention. Ills In-
spcctlon was from the car windows of
a rapidly moving train, but tho racl
that ho pronounces tho wheat prospects
In the sunflower state as never better
than at tho moment was enough to cause
somo selling In the local pit yesterday.
There were other claims from Kansas
of bright prospects and ono of these was
from a well known correspondent of the
Modern Miller.
Wheat suffered losses of HOic yester
day, although restoring spots were 'AWVic
abovo tho lowest levels reached. Local
professionals were the principal sellers.
and those who felt that prices were being
nammerea at a level too low lacked, tne
backbone to take tho grain coming into
the pit. Some of the large houses ad
vanco tho theory that wheat must Bell
higher later on becauso of the sunoly
and demand situation.
Wlvllo tho weather in tho winter wheat
belt has not been severe, there were com
plaints received yesterday from half a
dozen points In Michigan, in which It was
sain mat tno ground has been freezing
and thawing alternately, and that there
Is a likelihood of deterioration being
seen. Theso messages will bo seen In
larger numbers during the next month
unless the winter wheat Is well nrotected
by snow.
According to adv ccs from the best
sources in tho corn market hero, and In
tho interior tho offerings of that cereal
win continue to fall off from this time
forward unless there Is nn advance in
values. The corn now hold In the In
terior Is In poor condition and It will
take considerable drying to placo it in
condition where it may bo merchandised.
According to one of the best posted men.
the moisture will freeze In the grain, and

CHlCAiTO. 111.. Dec. il. ImDroved
weather conditions for the wlndup of tho
Argentlno harvest had a bearish Influ
onco today on wheat. The market here
closed ensy at the same as last night
to o down. Corn showed a net decline
of H(K4o to c, and oats a setback of
'.WTo to 9c in provisions tne outcome
varied from unchanged figures to a loss
of 2HQGc.
Buenos Ayres prices made the fact evi
dent that dealers there felt much better
able than of late to meet competition.
Moreover, Liverpool dispaicnes 101a 01
La Plata cargoes being offorcd cheaper
at British ports. Producers In western
Europe were also declared to ue wiling
moro frcly than has been tno case or
late
Additional snow, especially in Kansas,
offset attempts to cau&e a scaro over tha
possibility of damage to wticat oy a gen
eral freeze up. At one stage prices did
show a rally, but the strength failed to
last. .....
Holiday's liquidating saics tooa tne
odgo off the corn market. Meagerness of
Bhtpplng demand counted also ugalnst the
bulls, so that an early advance, due to
unsettled weather delaying receipts, was
inoro than wiped out. Oats developed
some heaviness, owing to liberal supplies
coupled with knowledge that the sales to
the east were smaii.
Provisions rose moderately and then
rank. In this course values appeared to
be governed almost entltely by the chang
ing values of Hvo hogs.

slow business and unimportant
mess and unimportant move-
i"or a llmo the tendency was re-
. but at the end of the day the
stive shares wero substantially
incins. For
actlonary
rcprescntatl
abovo laBt night's close. Heading was the
center of speculatlvv Interest and It made
an unusual exhibition of strength. 1 he
buoyant advance of this stock was as
sociated with reports that differences be
tween the goveiimcnt and the Rending
company would bo settled out of court,
as was done In the caxo of tho American
Telephone and Telegraph company.
The easier tone of the market earlier
In the day was largely due to a weakness
of eastern railroad stocks. Selling of
theso shares was Influenced by reports
that tho November statements of tho
transportation companies would show se
vere decreases In earnings. In the case
of Baltimore X- Ohio such 11 showing hns
been made. Norfolk & Wester was
especially heavy, dropping SH Per cent.
Signing of the currency bill and Presl
dent Wilson's accompanying message
failed to stimulate bullish activity.
Southern Pacific reported a decrease
In net earnings for November of JuOS.000.
t heavy Increaso In Idle freight cars was
shown In the fortnightly statement. The
weekly steel trndo reviews reported that
tho holiday shutdown of Iron and steel
mills this year had probably novcr been
equalled In length or In number of plants

Of that number mtlv rive run were nn

iniforo Christmas, tho run was plenty
large enough, as no one wnnted manv
cattle. Still, there was a fair demand for
tho fow on sale, and pretty much evet-y-

In tho morning. The prices paid wero
about the samo as those prevailing yos-

While there is usually a modarate do

HOGS Bundles were moderuto naaln
this morning, and while, buyers were
rather slow in starting out, trudo opened
out about ste.uiy. riaiesmen wero n
cllned to be bullish, and they held out
for higher money, but nackers refused
to better their early bids to any notice
able extent, and the bulk of the hogs
finally sold on a fully steady basis. Trade
was not very actlvo at any time, but the
stinuiy was cleaned tin in la r season.
vaiuea wero more or less uneven, uui tne
general market can be quoted as steady
with Tuesday s averago.
Bulk of the Heavy and nutciicrs hogs
sold at 17.50B7.iO with lights moving
largely around $7.354j1,60. A load of prima
butcher weight hogs, all barrows, reached
17.75. the extremo tuD 01 111c margei.
U would oe wen tu rcmcmucr nisi
quality is the Important factor In the
market now, and whllo good butchers
and heavies are selling at a premium,
the mixed grades are not lu such good
demand, so that In many cases a load
of good light stuff will sell fully as welt
th mixed hoes that carry a good deal
moro weight. This has been tho case for
two or three wifKs, as smauer receipts
have made It necessary for buyers to
base their discriminations more on quai
Ity and less on the weight of the hogs.

tho day before Christmas, had tho natural
effect of giving further Improvement tc

sheep and lambs both sold strong to 1011
JOo higher than yesterday. Today's re
ceipts of about 3,383 head wero practically
all on the killing ortlcr, vslth lambs and
owes predominating Tho lambs wero
principally of the good to choice kind
and changed hands largely around $3,000
8,16, tho latter price being top and the
highest point reached since July, when
lias was the top for that month. While
tho small supply of ewes was of a fall
to good class, there was nothing rcallv
prime, and prices ranged anywhere from
It.Jfi to J4.r0. Today's schedule Of price."
places the local market relatively high
as compared with other points, and It

The features In the trade thus far for
tho wreu were the ahum successive ad
vances In valuer, us both tho better grades
of lambs ami sheep arc now selling
