' the day were lc for wheat and Vie for December corn. An abnormal situation urrounds the market for December fu tures In wheat and corn. It Is believed that the Armour drain company, or aomronft dolnir business through that con cern, I.m the principal lontr In December wheat and that James A. rauen or oinor speculators doing business through tho Bartlett-Fraxter company, are the blR holders of December corn. The sharp ad vanccs In these two cereals yesterday was a surprise to the trade on the whole. The other months were Ma better for whpnt and iflKo hlcher for com. It Is cenerally believed that while the Ar mour company la long a blK lino ot De cember wheat It Is short the corn and where It will make money In wheat It will lose In corn. Tho action of the wheat and corn market yesterday showed there was more of a shortage- than any one dreamed of. The uneasiness displayed In the corn horts was the result of a better cash demand In the southwest and nn Improved Inquiry at Chlcairo. although the sales here were only 40,000 bushels. Shorts covered In oats and prices were ?Ho higher. There was no new In centive for purchasing this grain. Cash prices were unchanged.

Renewed assertions that the Canadian Parliament would likely abolish within a month the duty against wheat had a discouraging effect today on efforts to lift prices here. The market closed easy, Ho to KW"4o under last night Other net losses were: Corn, Wi-So to lc; oats, V46l and provisions, 60HH . Canadian tariff reports seemed to have more authority than heretofore, being vouched for by one ot the leading con cerns in tho Chicago wheat trade. Simultaneously, It was denied that tho Canadian rail rates for shipments to the seaboard had been reduced. A setback In final quotations from Liverpool counted also against the bulls, not much heed being given to dispatches saying the break was due to the acceptance of cargoes which It had been generally thought would be rejected. Some firmness which developed In wheat soon after tho opening turned out to be only of a transient character. The mar ket made no lasting response to the cut ting down of English estimates on the Argentine surplus, or to figures showing that farm reserves In Nebraska and Kan sas aro decidedly small and that the world's available supply had fallen off. Notwithstanding that corn at first showed a sudden bulge, the result of shorts finding that offers were scarce, the market afterward gave way under heavy sales Induced by the advance. Large deliveries are expected tomorrow. Mild weather also was influential In causing tho late weakness. Realizing on tho part of the longs pulled down oats. At the extreme decline, however, comtnls slon house buying was fair. Provisions went lower chiefly becnuse ot lard and ribs being freely unloaded by a western pucker who yesterday had furnished support to prices. Downward Impetus came, too, from the fact that hog supplies were larger than expected. Chicago closing prices: Artlclcl Open. Hlgh.l Low. Close.Yes'y.

LEADING SHARES HARKED UP Movemrnt Lack Power of Last Wcek'n Rise and Demnml Not Sufficient to Sustain Prices at lllirher ItniiKC. NEW YORK. Dec 30. The advance In stocks. Interrupted In the two preceding sessions, wrs resumed for a tlmo today Leading shares were marked up one to two points. Uut the movement lacked tho power of last week's rl?v and tho demand was not sufficlont to sustain prices at the higher ruuge. Operations on tho long side wcie not aggressive, and It was apparent, that the advance was being utilised for furthor realising salts. Gradually tho list settled baeK until the effects of the early rloo had disappeared, und tho speculative fiivorltei shrowed losses on the day. .... There was little Incentive to fresh ef forts on the constructive side. The re tent advance fatted to stimulate public buying on a largo scale, and at the samo t me It weakened the markets by driving In tho sorts. , Announce incnt of the appointment ot receivers for certain stores and Interest of the Slegel Stores coiporatlon appar ently had little offect at the moment, but It was Influential in bringing on the Blow reactionary movement of the after noon. The market had to contend also with the effects further foreign selling, due to unfavorable conditions In tho European Investment markets and tne year ends. London sold about 10.WM shares L'nlon Pacific's November showing of a decrease In operating income of 4&3. too was In line with tho unfavorable, rc ports of other large systems. Canadian Pacific, however, reported a gain in not ot 1630.0C0, and that stock responded temporarily with an upturn of two points.

Trading was fairly active from start to finish nnd the big bulk ot the cattle changed hands in good season In the morning. Prices pain ranged any where from strong to 10a higher on the more desirable kinds. Plain and unat tractive cattle were no better than steady. Ruyers evidently wanted cows and heif ers this mornlnc and were In the saddle In good season. As was the caso with beef steers' tho trndo was fairly actlvo und the bulk of tho offerings changed hands In good season. Prices on the de sirable kinds were strong to as much as 10c higher than yesterday, the market as a whole being In a good healthy nnd gen erally satisfactory condition.

Moving pic tures token yesterday of tho funeral pro cession throug!. the streets ot Calumet nnd down a country highway to tho cem etery where were burled fifty-nine vic tims ot tho Christmas cv disaster have been stolen. The opcrntor reported tonight that his room In a local hotel had been broken Into nnd the films taken. Tho caso was fo'in.1 several blocks away from tho hostelry, but beyond this circumstance tho local police said they had no clue to the details of the robbery. At federation headquarters there was no hedtancy In laying blame for the dls appeal anco of tho films upon tho tamo spirits In tho community who sent Presi dent Moyer out of the district. The theft was denounced as an attempt to stlflo publicity tor the strikers. Tto Snvr llnttnn. Out of a score or more of witnesses two persons testified before a coroner's Jury today that the man who caused tho Christmas eve disaster hero wore a white button Blmllar to tho badge of the Citi zens alliance. Immediately after ad journment ot tho hearing, O. N, Hilton, the Denver attorney In chnrge of tho Western Federation of Miners' legal In terests, announced thnt further develop ment of this phase of the Inquiry would be attempted tomorrow. The federation's lawur did not com ment upon the fact that the president and halt a doxcu members ot the Women's auxiliary ot llie federation swore that they saw no Insignia on the man and that union members who stood In the vestibule ot Italian hall for an hour be fo in the panic started said the alarm came from within the hall and nn person wearing such a button had passed tlicm. Cry from Inside. In the opinion of Anthony Lucus, prose cuting attorney ot Houghton county, whi conducted the examination of witnesses, facts fairly well established today were that an excitable member of the audience raised the cry. that there was no actual fire In the hall and that the doors were open and the stairway clear when tin ranlc started. "All, wo want Is a finding based upon facts developed at the Inquest," sold Mr. Hilton. "Tho Identity ot the miscreant who started the mad rush for the stain Is ot paramount Importance and we In tend to do what we can to clear this up." The testimony as tq the button was given by two witnesses. John Burt sr. who save his ago na fifteen, and said he had lost a sister In the disaster, ex citedly told ot seeing a man muffled to his eyes In a fur colloared overcoat enter tho hall. "Ho hollered 'fire' and then ran out," the boy said. "J) ran out, too. He had an alliance button on Ills coat." Looked Like C A. Ilntton. The other witness, Mrs. John II. Koskl, said fllic was twenty feet from tho man who wore a dark blue coat on which was a white button. "It looked like an Alliance button' she said. "But I was too far away to read it." One or two witnesses said there had been some confusion in the hull before the" panic fctarted, but women In charge of the celebration denied this. Practically all witnesses agreod that the first alarm came from n man, that It was taken up at once In different parts ot tho hall and that tho rush for the exit was Instantaneous.
