GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Whrr.t Bears Feci Easy in Their
Position. '
CORN IS QUITE STATIONARY
Offering mid Purchases In Decem
ber Option Are About nt n tlnl
nncc nnd Likely to Con
tinue So.
OMAHA, December 16, WIS.
The bears In wheat feel easy In their
Position and they advance the Idea that
there Is now but ono side to the wheat
market, and thut Is the bear side. They
point to the crop promise In the south
west, which was never better at this
season of the year, and they also refer
to the bin vlslbn hUiidIv and the lack of
demand for tho cash article. The matter
of speculation Is expected by the bear
shorts to cut a figure In values, as the
lack of trade 1b always considered a bear
ish factor. Now that Argentine I to
ship wheat more freely, as shown by the
estimated receipt for this week, and
with Husslan wheat coming out In larger
quantities and Australia willing to dis
pose of Increased lots of grain, the bear
shorts expect to have smoother sailing
than formerly.
The wheat market at tho moment Is
what may bo baled a Jug-handled affair.
Nearly every one In tho professional
ranks Is bearish on wheat and nearly
every ono of tho traders Is short that ar
ticle. While tho bears aro sanguine of
the ultimate success in driving the bulls
out of their holdings, tho latter are otlll
taking on wheat on all the soft spots to
materialize. Those of tho larger con
cerns In the trade who have been pur
chafing wheat and who are now big hold
ers of the May future aro doing so in
the belief that thero will be a crop scare
In tho spring, which they expect to be
brought about by freezing nt night and
thawing at day of the wheat fields of
the country, and which always causes
n.ore or less deterioration. These big
people on the bull aide of the market
have taken this position at this particular
time for many years paRt and they have
generally been enabled to take down the
money. ... .
It is unlikely that thero will bo any
groat advance in the December corn be
foro tho end of the month, as the holders
of that particular future aro willing to
get tho Hhorts on an oven basis. Tho
larger long In the trade, James A. I'at
ten, has taken In a big lot of corn anil
paid for it, and he will merchandise this
grain at as early time as possible. At
tho present time there is no buying
power In cash corn not enough at least
to bo of any help to tho bull side of the
market. Tho shorts see that they aro at
the mercy of the longs in tho December
and they aro likely to mako the best of It.
Thero is a big open Interest in the May
future and that month is in strong hands.
The price of corn, with tho December
future out of th way, will depend very
largely on the receipts from time to tlmo.
Theso are to be reduced largely, accord
ing to the best advices from the country.
Tho situation In oats has surprised mora
than one in tho trade. The price of that
grain has held up well, and this, too,
under adverse circumstances at times.
The Canadian oats have been shipped in
here In largo quantities and they havo
failed to act as a drawback to the market
on tho whole.
Tho provision market Is likely to move
along in tho present rut with tho big
packers In control. The hog movement
Is expected to continue and be of good
proportions.

CHICAGO CillAI.V AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading anil Closing
Frlce on Ilonnl of Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26. Winter crop pros
pects believed by some observers to be
the best ever known carried wheat prices
today to a lower level. The market closed
heavy at a decline of Ho to Q4c net.
Other leading staples, too. all finished
at a loss corn down ',4c to fPT4c oata
12V4C l ,4C alUl provlslonB 2tQ55 to
According to r leading authority gen
oral snow storms over tho greater part
of tho winter wheat belt havo furnished
ample covering to proteot the plant at
present from danger of serious injury
by a sudden freeze. As a result tho con
dition of the wheat was said to be all
that could be desired, no especially cold
weather being reported anywhere and
yet tho temperature .being low enough to
put an end to the activity o,f insect pests,
puch as the Hessian fly.
Sagging of prices for wheat continued
throughout the day. In addition to bear
news about the winter crop, downward
Impetus came from Argentine advtceo of
better weather and of much improved
yields.
Big receipts here pulled down corn.
There was temporary firmness at the
outset, but after that tho buying orders
were scarce, and all months had a
rather sharp descent. Although demand
from the east was said to have been
somewhat enlarged, shipments this
week remained depresslngly small from
here compared with arrivals. Oats gave
way with corn. Tho selling was largely
of July.
Call for provisions turned out to be
so light that the market weakened not
withstanding higher prices for hogs. Tho
decline in grant seemed to have a dis
couraging effect on buyers.

rniUlreet'M Uipresse" Confidence In
l'litnrc nnd Sees Oooil Times.
NUW YORK, Dec. 26. Urndstrcct's to-
morrow will toys
Desnlto the. evidence of cross curents
In trade nnd Industry tho wecifs develop
ments seem to havo been ftiainiy luvor-
able. Certainly evidence or opumiBm
and In some Instances of renewed aKKres:
slvo preparation lor tno now year are
numerous.
Chief In hrltiKliip; about more favorable
feeling nro tho brighter tinge of affairs
In financial lines, to which the passaKo
of thd currency bill and tho govern
ment's settlement with the telephone in
terests huve powerfully contributed; tho
rather rapid retreat of an aggressive
short Interest In tho Btock market, and
the apparent ceaslntr of liquidation of se
curities, except from abroad.
Secondary to this aro the signs that
wool manufacturers are still buying lib
erally of domestic wools In preparation
tor tnc change, in duties on goods on Jan
uary 1. and the reports of Increased ac
tivities in small metul lines In wmo New
KnKlnnd valleys.
Holiday trado in most Instances
equalled a year ago, when, except In tho
southeast it was of record proportions.
Business failures for the week weer
28S which compares with 253 In 1912.
Wheat, including flour exports froin tho
United Btnti-n nnd Conada for the week
aro 3,818,451 bushels against 4,950,6S6 last
year.

Hensnn of Your In llnnlnemi.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Dim's Review
will say:
Anldo from tho stimulus Imparted to re
tail lines by the holiday demands, there
hau been a continued absence of activity
In business circles. Improvement In con
ditions, however, is scarcely to be ex
pected at this period, when merchants
and manufacturers are preparing for on
nuul Inventories and salesmen are 16
turnlug from the road.
The quiet customary at the year-end Is
accentuated by an unusually mild winter,
yet a rather more hopeful sentiment pro
vulls and confidence Is strengthened by
the removal of uncertainty regarding cur
rency legislation. Some encouragement
Is derived from the fnct thut stocks of
merchandise aro meager at practically fill
points since this suggests that an early
buying movement may become necessary
to replenish supplies. The labor situation
reflectH further additions to tho number
of idle men.
Failures this week numbered 2S9 In the
United States against 205 last year, and
twenty-slx In Canada compared with
twenty-five u year ago.

HOGS Advices from other points were
encouraging this morning, and with light
receipts shippers nnd speculators started
out early and bought a good share of tht,
supply at prices that wero fully 6?fl0u
higher. Packers were slow to take hold,
and their first bids wero no moro than a
shado higher, but sellers refused to cut
loose at the early offers and when tho
packers finally put up their droves their
purchases looked to be about a nickel
higher.
Two trains, carrying about a doen
loads of hogs, did not get In until after
11 o'clock, and when buyers went out to
bid on them prices had lost all of the
early advance, tho offers made being Just
about steady with Wednesday, A few
sold, but the majority of the sellers re
fufced to cut loose at this dlccllne nnd
most of these iato hogs wero still unsold
at midday.
Prices were very uneven, some real
good hogs going to shippers at figures
that looked to lie a flat dime higher,
whlld somo common mixed stuff did not
appear to be any moro than tuonrf, but
thu general market can bo quoted as
10c higher. Movement was anything but
active, and it was well along in the
morning beforo tho light run waa cleared.
Hulk of tho heavy and butcher offer-
ngs sold at $7.60fr7.70. with lights going
largely at a range of $7.45(87.00. Tops
sold at $7.75, the same hm on Wednesday.
Receipts wero estimated at forty-six
cars, or 3.400 head, making- the total for
the week to dote about 22.W9 head. This
Is less than half as lurge as last week
and Is slightly smaller than for tbe cor-

8HEHP-H was practically a good ac
tlve. steady to strong market on a fairly
large run of fat ewes anil lambs, aa
everything sold about as quickly as the
buyers could get around to It, and a
clearance was made early. The receipts
amounted to 7,000 head and most of them
were lambs on the fair to good order,
the supply of ewes being mher light
Tin range of lamb prices was anywhere
from $7,364.8.15, the latter being the to
the same as on Wednesday. The lambs
that sold at $7.35 were very light, but
fat. The ewes brought $4,3036.00. The
!cJ!lpt?alncllJd', ln ,ne neighborhood of
1,600 Montana feeder lambs, which
changed hands early at $B.80, The supply
and demand for anything In the Una of
feedjrk was small, but prices were steady
to strong.
Th.i steady prices on today's market
still leaves the trade for the week 60a60c
better ou most all kinds of killers than
a week ago. but the feeling Is none
too strong on that bails n business
today, If anything, was not quits t.s good
as at the opening, good runs at Chicago
and L'uffalo, having a bearish Influence.
The local trade still continues ou a rel.
tlvely high level compared with outside
IKiInts and lambs and ewes are selling
as high as at any time since July or
June. Few, If any, weathers or year
lings are coming. Whllti choice grades
of both sheep and lambs stilt seem to
be what the packers want and there Is
Mill discrimination against anything half
tat nt warmed up, well posted traders
look for n good market after tho first
of the year. ,

Kills His Mother;
Thinks Her Burglar
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 26.-A tragedy
marked the close of Chrlstmua In Lincoln,
when C, V, Carlson, Just at midnight, shot
and killed his mother, who, ho suys, ho
mistook for burglar. Mother and son,
who lived alone, wero In fear of burclnrs.
and when the mother stepped out on tho
porch Just boforo retiring, unknown to
the man, and he saw a shadow through
the window ho fired at u supposed
marauder, inflicting a wound from which
his mother died an hour after.
CARDINAL'S APARTMENTS
SEALED BY AUTHORITIES
ROME, Dec. 20. The apartments oc
cupled by tha lata Cardinal Rnmpolla
havo been sealed up In conscqucnco of
a request made by Monslgnor Dl
Rlsogna, administrator of St. Peters. Tho
step wns urged by Cardinal Merry del
Vnl, papal secretary of slate, simply to
Bimrantno the security of the documents
of great Interest to tho church, tho pos
sible loss of which was suggested by
persistent reports regarding tho disap
pearance of Cardinal Rainpolla's last
will and testament.
That a will was executed by Cordlnal
Rampolla beating a inter cluto than the
will found Is considered almost certain,
because tho cardinal le.it a cop with a
tag uttached, on which was Inscribed In
his own handwriting tho statement that
the key opened a box containing his will,
and thoso close to the cardinal think
It Incredible that ho would not alter his
testlment of 18S9, alleging that his estate
had grown fourfold since that date.
Tho box referred to bus not been
found, and so far no one Iiuh come for-
J ward to say that ho has absolute knowl
edge of tho exlstenco of the testament
reported to be missing. There Is no evi
dence that It was stolen, nnd no claims
havo been set up by anyone that ho has
sustained dumuge by the losa of the will.
Tho authorities therefore are not In a
position to take, action, becuuie accord
ing to tho Italian law In such cases
prosecution could only be possible
after somo Interested party had sub
mitted claims. As the situation Is now
the authorities cannot even lnstltuto an
Investigation.
