Reports of rain in Argentine made wheat strong and prices high at the open ing of the market yesterday, but when later cables told of fair weather the mar ket eased off. Fluctuations, however, were within a narrow range and the mar ket was dull. The cash situation at Min neapolis is strong, but futures are a trifle weak. , Corn would have been a decidedly weak market if it were not for the borrowed strength from the wheat pit, which checked the market's declining tendency. Receipts are increasing and .the weather remains perfect for the movement. Oats were under pressure at the opening. The market showed but little independence, following the lead of wheat and corn. On higher cables the stock market opened higher. The foreigners were again good buyers. After the first hour of trade the influence of the better European markets was lost and our prices sold off. The decline was led by the Industrials. Ralls were firm and sold up. and the close was at the best prices of the day. What the Brokers Say. M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter says: Wheat—The market was firm, with May relatively the .stronger. , Cables reporting rains- in Argentine, carried prices to high point for the day, but when it was learned that. fair weather, prevailed prices eased off. but range of fluctuations -was nar row. Trade was dull and of a holiday character, and prices sustained by manip ulation. There was nothing particularly Influential in the news. Minneapolis re ported a strong cash market, but futures are a trifle easier there. "Receipts at Win nipeg. 123 cars, against 399 a year ago. On the advance there seemed to be con siderable May sold. The market as con trolled, and it is useless under the cir cumstances to make any guesses on fu ture tendencies. 7. , , Corn—The firmness in wheat checked the declining tendency in corn. The new corn is adversely affecting futures, as it Is a drag on the sample market, and prices were lower again. The best grades of the receipts were relatively firm. The movement Is apparently increasing. The December was weakest. Oats— were under some pressure from local traders during the morning in sympathy with weakness In corn, but re gained loss on fair commission house buy ing and on borrowed strength from the wheat pit. The trade was small and the tone dull. . . . ;• - ,'","-ii O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter Bays: The London market came strong and higher, and they were again buyers of a considerable quantity of stocks in our market in the early trading. Our opening was quiet and steady in response to the improved market abroad, but after the first half hour pressure was again brought to bear against the industrials that were so severely punished Tuesday, and they all suffered further declines. The general market sold off fractionally in sympathy with the industrials, but although the bears tried hard to induce liquidation they were unsuccessful to any extent. There seemed to be some support extended to the industrial issues on the decline, and prices in these shares rallied from 2 to -3 per cent from the low figures. The railroad issues held firm throughout the session, and in the afternoon they were very strong, selling up about %@% per cent above Tuesday night's figures. The closing was strong, with a good un dertone, at about best prices of the day. - J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks: Logan & ,Br3an—The market is irregu lar. There is still pressure in some of the industrials, while others which have been freely sold of late are having support and' are sharply higher. The tractions and rails are generally strong, and sugar maintains an advancing tendency. It is a puzzling situation. When one looks at the attractive prices of many of the properties, their large earnings, the fact that financial conditions are not bad and that with the large quantity of cotton bills maturing in the next forty-five days, gold is likely to be imported freely, the view is not bearish. On the other. hand, when industrials are knocked off from $5 to $15 per share in a couple of days, confidence cannot be very assured. So far the lat ter feature has made very little selling pressure, on the standard stocks. If the trouble with the industrials should have run its course, the market as a whole might easily begin to anticipate the bet ter money conditions that are likely after Jan. 1.

MINN* INDUSTRIALS SUFFER ATTACK UPON THEM IS RESUMED IN WALL STREET It Is Directed by a Well-Organized Party and There Is Little If Anything In the News to Warrant It—General Sweeping . Out of Collateral In Loans of . These Securities Is On. ■—■ y ■ NEW TORK, .Nov. 25.—A number of in dustrial stocks. suffered wide breaches in their valuations again today in contin uation of the process which was-so con spicuous in yesterday's dealings. Some of the weaker stocks then were acutely af fected today, while new ones were brought into the movement. There was little in the way of specific news to account for the decline and those concerning which there was news were not the most acutely af fected. '-..::">**" •■_, • ' - ... • News of the shutting down of mills to work off supplies hurt International.Pa per. Fluctuations In Colorado Fuel seem ed to represent varying views of the pro vision made for capital needs by a sale of coal and iron ore lands of the com pany. Regarding the railroad equipment stocks it was argued that much of the re cent enormous increase in railroad equip ment was owing to the use of cars to make good adequate terminal and storage facilities, so that . there might be con sidered an oversupply of cars on hand at present. The only news accompanying the break of over nine points in railway steel*spring preferred was the application to the stock exchange to list • additional stock which contained no surprise for those conversant with the company's af fairs. It may be taken for granted that a well organized party skillfully directed the at tack on these securities. The quick re bound in their prices was sufficient evi dence of this in Itself. But there is no reason to doubt the current reports of a general sweeping out of collateral In loans of Industrial securities, especially of the newer undigested class. Keep This in Mind. 7 It is fair to bear in mind that the dis favor with which money-lenders view these securities has to do with the readi ness of the market for them as well as their intrinsic value and soundness.. . Many of these securities have never had a .wide market and others have lost such as they ever had during the recent period of distrust over the whole industrial out look. There Is apparent also an intention to adjust the basis of prices of the whole body of industrials to that of the stocks which have already been severely scaled down. A relative firmness growing into strength of the United States Steel stocks and of Amalgamated Copper were conso nant with this view. >_.. ; .United States Steel was probably af fected also by the reduction granted In freight rates on steel rails for export. A sharp ralley in the raw copper market in London may have helped Amalgamated and Anaconda. The special movement in Southern Railway was without explana tion, although the stock had been liberally tipped off for an advance. The late -re covery In the market wiped out all the principal losses and established some fair gains in 7 the industrials.-. Sterling i I ex change -made another wide .-drop >in spite of the quieter tone of the .local money market and rumors of large additional en gagements of gold for. import were thus made plausible, although no definite in formation could be obtained of such en gagements. " ', . ' .-. r'-.y • The bond market became v very. dull and was irregular. Total sales',- par value, were $2,280,000.

PRE-HOLIDAY DULLNESS, LEADS TO LOWER WHEAT PRICES Day's News Yields a Bullish Item or Two '~ and the Feeling Is Firmer After a Steady Opening, but Things Change— ' Corn Rises and Oats Are Unchanged. .CHICAGO. Nov. 25.— pre-holiday dull ness pervaded the grain and provision pits today and . wheat. ruled easier on profit-taking, May closing %@%c lower, May corn closed %@%c higher and oats were unchanged, but January provisions were from 10c to 22 %c lower. • Trading in the wheat pit was of an evening up character in preparation for the , holiday tomorrow, and while there ■was little general.commission trade there was considerable adjustment among local traders. The only bull news of impor tance was the report that there had been general rains in Argentina and that North west receipts were lighter than a year ago, 7 but this was sufficient to cause a little, firmer feeling early In the day after a steady, opening. May was unchanged to %c lower at the start, opening at 79%@ 79% c. and after selling up to 79% c the , market became easier on realizing by local traders. The sentiment in the pit was rather bearish the latter half of the session, the influences being the lar ger primary receipts, and the easier tone in outside markets. There was some selling by yesterday's buyers and the de mand was.scattered. May declined to 79c and closed % %c lower at 79%@79%c. December closed %c lower at 79% c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 595,100 bu. Primary receipts were 1,466,400 bu, against 1,175,400 bu a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi cago' reported receipts of 796 cars, against 638 cars last week and 829 cars a year ago: ■■•>7::y. ■-:..2-.* Corn Starts Off Strong. Corn was strong for a few moments at the start, but there was too much for sale and prices soon yielded, the Decem ber option being the weaker. Covering by shorts was the cause of the opening firmness, but selling by provision inter ests and the continued weakness In low grade cash corn resulted In a slump In prices for December, and May eased off in sympathy. May ranged between 41% c and 42% c, closing lower at 41%@41%c. Local receipts were 204 cars, with 10 of contract grade. -. >v A slow, dragging market with prices most of the time under last night's close was the order of the day ln the oats pit. Little was done but evening up for the holiday and scalping by the pit crowd. The market was Influenced largely by the action of other grains. May sold be tween 35 %c and 35% c, closing unchanged at 35% c. December closed a shade lower at 34%@34%c. Local receipts were 89 cars. ..,;.'.;.:', -7 „ Liberal selling of January lard and ribs by brokers supposed to be for the ac count of local packers caused weakness in provisions. There was little support and prices were lower for all products. January pork closed 22 %c lower at $11, January lard was off 10c at $6.72%, while ribs were down 12% cat $5.75. The estimated receipts for tomorrow are: Wheat, 85 cars; corn, 225 cars; oats, 135 cars, and 25,000 head of hogs. The board will be closed tomorrow. . ~~. Range of Quotations.
