FIVE COMMERCIAL CLUB
MEETINGS POSTPONED
Prominent Omaha business men are so
busy just now with commercial activ
ities connected with the Christmas trad
that they have no time for Commercial
club committee meetings.
Five of these meetings were scheduled
for noon, following group luncheon at
the clubrooms. But after falling to secure
a Quorum for any of thera. Comrn's
sloner Manley had to postpone all.
When notified by telephone of the in
tended meetings, most of the members
replied that they were too busy to spend
even an hour for luncheon outside thulr
offices or stores, let alone attending any
meeting afterward.
Features of the Trading; and Closing;
Prices on Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Wheat prices broke
rapidly todtty after the government's crop
figures were posted. The clone wa un
settled but He to l"ic lower, with Docem
her at J1.16H,, and May at $L171.18.
Com finibhod 4ic to l'c down, and oats
i.c to In provisions the outcome
vari'-d from the same as yesterday's dose
to 870 decline.
Notwithstanding that the crop report
from Washington showed a decided re
duction in the acreage of winter wheat
as compiyed with what had "been seeded,
the trade appeared to be chiefly Im
pressed with the fact that another
bumper yield was in prospect A a re
sult bears pressed the selling with much
more confidence and there was a great
deal of unloading by speculative holders.
Settlement of the Belt Line railway
Mrlke here had given at the start con
siderable advantage to the bears In
wheat, but temporarily the market
responded to higher quotations at Liver
pool and to fear that the switchmen's
dispute with a number of railroads here
might cut down receipt at some crit'eal
Juncture. Toward the end of the day
jthe construction placed on the United
mates government crop report appeared
to nullify all other factors. Heavy
Profit taking sales nulled down corn
after the market at the outset had
touched the highest prices yet thla sea
son.
Oats weakened In sympathy with corn.
iTnvlslons underwent a material sag in
all the active options. Ixjwer prices on
hogs were reaponattile. Packers fed the
market carefully and filled up all buyers.

reported in. For the week to dete re
ceipt amount to 27, M3 head, being larger
than any recent week since four weeks
ago, and larger than a year ago by over
3,000 head.
There were no nw developments as re
gards prices, the market for the most
t art telng Just about steady with yes
terday on uractlcaliy all kinds. The trade
was a Utile slow, largely due to there
being nothing very good, or not enough of
any one kind to Interest buyers. Pretty
much everything changed hands In good
season.
