LATEST FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL REPORTS; STOCKS AND BONDS
MARKET TRADING
FIRM BUT LIGHT
Report of Strike Threatened on
Western Railroads Causes
a Slump at the Close
GRAIN MOVEMENT MODERATE
Western Money Conditions Show
Greater Ease-Exports
z for Month Good
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Apart from
Its fairly firm undertone, the greater
part of the session, the course of the
(lay's stock market was unimportant.
Trading was light and again confined
to the better known speculative
leaders.
The market opened, Irregular with
pronounced weakness in the Harriman
Issues, United States Steel and the
other metal Issues. Following its gen
eral recovery In a movement led by
the coal stocks, the list held fairly well
until the final hour, when reports of
another meeting of the steel and iron
interests and advices ! from Chicago
stating that a largo majority of the
engineers employed on the western
roads had voted to strike sent prices |
of active issues to the lowest level of
the day and caused a weak closing.
The grain movement in the west con
tinues to b<- of moderate proportions,
although last week's receipts at Chi
cago, amounting to 5,600,000 bushels, is
an increase of almost 1,100,000 bushels
over the previous week. The western
money market shows greater ease, but
this tendency is attributed to decreas
ing business in many lines. Keen com
petition for the $3,500,000 South African
gold received in London resulted In an
advance of l-8d with a division of tho
metal, $1,500,000 going to Berlin, tho
balance being equally distributed be
tween the Bank of England and India.
There was no open American demand
for the gold despite recent rumors to
that effect. Domestic exports for No
vember showed fairly large Increases in
shipments of corn and cotton, with an
extraordinary falling off in wheat.
Shipments of this cereal were over i
5,000,000 bushels below November, 1909.
Total exports of food stuffs tor ' the '<
eleven months of the calendar year are j
less by over $56,000,000 than in the cor
responding period last year. The bond
market was easy. Total sales, par
value, $2,207,000.
United States bonds were steady.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—The wheat market has
been a dull and narrow one moat nt the day
but has worked higher at the close. Satur
day's closing level to %c lower was the low
est figure today, despite the receipt of much
bearish n<'W« Higher Liverpool markets,
closing 1 to I'j.d higher, proved the deciding
Influence, although all continental European
markets wore loww. Statistical news al?o
bearish. St. Louis claims sales since Sat
urday of 175,000 bushels No. 2 red, to be loaded
out at on. Cash wheat sales here, 25,000
bushels.

and on active pit buying of December, but
It has lagged steadily back to below Satur

are numerous both from lowa anil Illinois.
Trade has not been large. Forecast is for
snow and rain from Rockies cast to Missis

helped the early market, but receipts at
primary markets are more than double last
year's and cash prices are weakening.

were forced to cover during a very stiff early
bulge and market gave way on the realizing
sales made during the bulge and afterward.
Enormous lot of short lard covered today
