Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Dec. 6.
One glance at the bulletin board was enough to
start traders buying wheat today, for there were
only 185 cars marked up for Minneapolis, com
pared with 664 recelred a year ago today. May
wheat went to 87 %c and December to 83 &c.
while in the cash division premiums advanced
and 8@8%c over December was heard for No.
1 northern and l@l%c over for No. 2 north
ern. Demand was excellent even tho buyers
naturally hesitated to go after the wheat, for
there was so little on sale that any good buying
"easily ran up prices. Some millers took the
view that thej could better afford to wait a day
The remarkably light receipts of the past day or
two were dve principally to the recent bad
weather and heavy snow that interfered with
the movement all along the line. Today this
same Influence was in operation and It was
aggravated by the wreck on the Northern Pa
cific at St. Cloud, which delayed considerable
wheat that otherwise would have appeared in
this morning's count. Other points got light
runs also, and the primary receipts were lu
consequence very light. The Duluth eompaii
Bon showed 29 oars and 73, that of Chicago 84
and 49, St. Louis 89,000 bu and 28,000, and
Kansas City 54,000 and 148,000. The strength
oontlaued thru the opening business. After a
While more liberal selling was noted, but the
market took It fairly well, selling down only
moderately. Daggett and the Northern Grain
company were the leading sellers.
I Despite the very light movement of wheat to
this market, local stocks have increased so
far this wMk by 5T5.000 bu. Millers are com-
tiloSolng a little of light business in flour, say
ing prices are again out of line. The weather
I fatcrs a larger movement this way from now
ten, being clear and seasonable today, with good
.weather predicted.
Liverpool was up %Q%d at the close. Berlin
was %0 up, Paris %c down, Antwerp %c* up
and Budapest unchanged. Argentine advices
to Uverpool reported the weather unsettled, but
Stab's Argentine cable made it fair.
A little Interest developed in Minneapolis July
wheat, but trade was light. Brown was active
in Only at 88%@88*c.

Sttong. Ohloago reported 900,000 bu delivered
on December contract and taken over by Av
motav and Valentine appeared in the pit and
bought wheat freely, taking close to 2,000,000
bo. Th looal market followed quickly and
May sold to 88c

871,000. Clearances wheat and flour. 521,000 bu.
Oaratters of Winnipeg reports the sale of
tea loads of Manitoba at %@l%c over yester
day's bids. Also reports bids on hand for twenty
loads mora at close to market.
An Antwerp cable confirms that received yes
terday from Bussla. This cable said wheat
shipments were very small and the advancing
railqroad strikes are spreading, seriously men
acing business and navigation will close In a
lew days.
New York sold forty loads of wheat for export
today, also twenty loads of corn and 200,000 bu
oats.
The market closed very strong, and close to
the top in all the pits.

Millers are beginning to work into the accumu

well sold ahead there is not enough new busi
ness coming in to hold the situation steady, and
old orders re being cleaned up. One company
closed a mill today. Navigation having closed

ARIZONA COPPERS.
Since the Copper Queen began operations at
Bisbee it has produced 352,000 tons of ore, and
its present monthly production is more than its
average annual product was in the early years
fifteen or sixteen years ago. Speculators were
aroused this morning to the fact, and so great
was the excitement when this was fully realized
that the stock jumped nearly 12 points in a
few hours. Lake Superior & Pittsburg was the
feature of the Arizona market, advancing on
good buying to $43 bid, $45 asked. This comes
from a rumor afloat stating that this property
is earning $90,000 per month net. The whole
list had a better tone, and all stocks showed a
slight advance for the day.

CHICAGO GRAIN
SHARP LIVERPOOL ADVANCE REFLECTED
EARLY I N WHEAT PIT
Chicago, Dec. 6.A sharp advance in the price
of wheat at Liverpool was reflected in a strong
wheat market here today. Shorts and commis
sion houses were active bidders. Selling was
light. Reports of unsettled weather in Argentina
were in a measure responsible for the firmness.
Another factor of importance was a marked
falling off in the receipts at northwestern mar
kets. May opened %@%c to %@%c higher at
S%@89%c and advanced to 89%c. Minneapo
lis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 248
cars against 593 cars last week and 785 cdra
a year ago.
The market suffered a severe reaction on
selling due to reports of large deliveries on
December contracts. May declining to 88%c. The
market then rallied sharply on active demand
fiom a leading bull, and May advanced to 90 ^c.
The close was strong with May up l@l%c

High Money Gives Market a Momen

Resumed, Showing New Points of
StrengthThe Bond Market Shows
Firmness.
New York, Dec. 6.Russian securities contin
ued to advance abroad today, and stocks here,
free from pressure on that account, started vig
orously upwards. There were many wide gains,
the southern iron stocks leading. Tennessee
Coal and Sloss-Sheffield Steel rose 2%, New
York, Chicago & st Louis 2 Lake Erie &
Western 1%, Kansas & Texas, American Woolen
and Missouri Pacific 114, Reading 1% and New
York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Northern Pa
cific, St. Louis & San Francisco second pre
ferred, Smelting, Virginia-Carolina Chemical,
Hide & Leather preferred, Cotton Oil preferred,
Railway Steel Spring, Republic Steel preferred
and Pacific Mail a point.
There was a .great variety of upward move
ments during the first hour, about thirty railroad
and industrial stocks which appear but seldom
in the dealings rising between 1 and 2 points.
Wider advances were New York, Chicago & St.
Louis 4, the second preferred 2%, Pressed Steel
Oar 3% American Hide & Leather 2%, Colorado
& Southern first preferred 2% and Lake Erie &
Western 3. The usually active stocks were
less represented, but Kansas & Texas got up 2,
the preferred and Brooklyn Transit 1%, Chesa
peake & Ohio 1%, and Pennsylvania, St. Paul.
Rock Island preferred and the Denver & Rio
Grande stocks a point. Realizing sales made
some impression on stocks that opened high and
made the market somewhat irregular
southern iron stocks, Virginia-Carolina Chemi
cal and National Lead reacted a point or more.
Lead preferred sold at a decline of 2 and Vir
ginia Iron and Knickerbocker Ice 1. The mar
ket was quieter and generally below the best at
11 o'clock.
There was a sharp momentary reaction with
the high opening of the money market, which
carried Locomotive, Lead, Virginia-Carolina
Chemical preferred and Lake Erie & Western
preferred a 'point or more below last night.
Prices then mov up again and new points of
strength developed. Denver & Rio Grande, Can
ada Southern and Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis gained 3, Texas & Pacific, Denver & Rio
Grande preferred and Ne York Central 2.
Tennessee Coal 4, Sugar 2%. Brooklyn Transit
and Texas & Pacific Land Trust 2%, and
Amalgamated Copper and many less prominent
stocks a point or more. Bonds were firm at
noon.
High Money Starts Decline.
Reactions reaching a point or more occurred
shortly after midday when call money went up
to 19 per cent. New York Central, Presaed
Ssteel Car, Tennessee Coal and other similar well
known stocks fell back a point or more. The
conspicuous buying focused again on Tennessee
Coal, and its rally to 130 revived a modeiate
inquiry for other stocks. Delaware & Hudson
and International Power moved up 2%, and
tiiere were additions to obscure, stocks making
gains of between 1 and 2.
Lead Takes a Drop.
Railroad stocks were not much of a factor in
the afternoon market, the demand mostly run
ning to the specialties. A drop of over 3 points
in Lead contributed to an irregular tone for a
time. Federal Mining improved 4, International
Power 3% the Linseed stocks 3, Metropolitan
btreet Railway 2%, New York, Chicago & St.
Louis lost all but a fraction of its gain.
