¦ CHICAGO. Dec. 8.— Trading Jn the wheat
pit was greatly hampered by the poor con
dition of. the wires, . news fromMhe outside
being meager and hard to obtain.' ¦' On this
account the ¦ traders were inclined to hold off
and as a result the volume of business was
small. A feature of trading was the narrow
ing of the December-May spread, the former
at one time selling .within 2 cents of the
latter. The opening . was strong on higher
cables, decreased receipts and' the unfavorable
weather. Shorts were good buyers early, but
when the demand from that source had slack
ened there was. no other support to the mar
ket' and a decline -followed. A sudden ad
. vanoe In December helped the May delivery,
but heavy realizing toward the end of the
session caused a weak close. May. opened
%©%c to %@%c higher at 76%@76%c, sold
down to 75%c. advanced again to 76%c, but
declined to 75%e, closing %c lower • at; 75%
@75%c.*" . '. ¦¦'••;..
Corn ruled dull, but prices were higher early
on decreased . receipts. unfavorable • weather
throughout the ¦ entire corn* belt and strong
cables. There was J considerable realizing at
the: advance, as well as • a - fair amount 'of
short selllne, and under these . conditions the
market weakened. The late decline, in wheat
was also a bear factor. May closed %©?4c
lower at '43%c. ' .. ' " .¦.-¦. w /"?.
Oats were quiet May closed %c lower at
32%c. - ' '. • .-'¦' '.¦'•¦•:
• Strength . prevailed In provisions, influenced
by a decrease in hog receipts and higher prices
at the yards. The close was strone, with
January pork up 17%c, lard 15o higher and
ribs 5c higher. • . .
The leading, futures ranged as follows : •
Chicago Grain arid Produce.
WHEAT— The foreign markets were In good
shape, with higher ¦ futures. ¦_¦¦ .
Chicago was : inclined to take a bullish view
of the Wheat situation.. It was pointed out
there that Northwestern stocks are small, 14,
000,000 bushels less than in 1901 in country
elevators. The visible supply is 7,000,000 bush
els less than In 1901 and 17,000,000/ less than
in 1900. The Manitoba crop is not so large as
expected and ' but a small quantity of it re
mains unmarketed. Then there is the Pacific
demand for the Orient and Australia so the
situation Is decidedly cheerful all around
In this market futures were lower, but cash
grain remained steady. ¦ . • - • ¦

Neiv York Money Market.
NEW YORK. Dec. 3.— Prices were both
above and below last night's level in to-day/s
market. The trading, which has been strict
ly professional for eaveral days, was In the
hands, of the- smaller class of traders and their
operations showed increasing hesitation and un
certainty. There were occasional attempts on
the part of speculative pools to put up prices,
but any considerable advance met realizing
gales of a sufficient volume to check the rise.
The pressure to sell was not at all urgent and
showed a prompt relaxation at the lower level
of prices, where supporting orders were also
encountered. The result was a constant shift-
Ing of the course of prices within a narrow
range. There were no >speclal features*fo the
trading, although the recent speculative fav
orites maintained their prominence. These
were the local tractions, St. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville, the Pacifies and New York Central
and several of the coalers. The movement, in
these was pretty consistent, ' the whole group
moving upward or downward whenever any one
etock took the initiative. An advance In the
price of refined sugar failed to differentiate
sugar from the general movement in the list.
Renewed weakness in the silver market and a
reaction in the London copper market from
its sharp advance were reflected in American
Smelting and Amalgamated Copper. - The chief
repressive influence on the speculation was 'the
tightening course of the money market, - There
was no money ' off ered cn call at less than 7
per cent at the opening. The rate subsequently
declined as low as C per cent during the active
period of the day and to below that before ' the
close. Time money was distinctly firmer, 0 per
«ent"- being quoted' fer all -periods up- to : -slx
months, with a commission demanded . for the
shorter periods, which made the rate equivalent
to 7 per cent. New York institutions were en
tirely out of the market for mercantile paper,
and even the prime grades brought B per
cent. An additional engagement of $500,000 In
gold for South America was announced, mak
ing the total shipment to-day $1,000,000. This
operation amounts to a diversion of the demand
from South America upon the Bank of England
for gold from that institution to New York.
Discounts In London consequently eased to-day.
Sterling ¦ exchange here held steady, but ad
vanced In Paris so that exports of gold across
the Atlantic are not feasible; The trading ele
merit showed its disappointment that the Presi
dent's message had failed to stimulate specula
tion and with the additional discouragement
of the high money rate there was a progressive
decrease in the activity of the market.
Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales
Jl.700,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged' on
the last call. .

"Funds are returning from the interior, and
the banks appear to be steadily increasing their
"resources. To this extent there is improvement
in the monetary situation. On the other hand
the Treasury is absorbing funds at a suggestive
pace; and with important syndicate obligations,
to be met and January disbursements yet to be
provided for, there Is abundant reason for
caution in the local money market. Some sharp
flurries :nay bt expected during the next thirty
dtys, which would be anything but comfortable
for holders of weakly margined stocks. Europe
still shows a tendency to make Americans set
tle their foreign obligations, and there . is
every prospect that the Transvaal and otllcr
important foreign leans will shortly be placed
upon the foreign markets. This probably ac
counts for the attitude of foreign bankers to
ward cold exports, which are almost sure to
follow any softening of money rates on this
eide. Exports cf domestic produce are phow
lng satisfactory gains, cotton and gra<n moving
outward more freely; yet the favorable trade
balance thus far promised is being -counttr
lalanced by ahenuinetial imoorts of foreigu
rrerchandlse. The latter movement promises
to continue for some months to come. It is
eimply a natural result of high prices on this
eide of the Atlantic and low tr.as on tne oth«»r,
as well as the utter inability of some of our
industrial establishments to satisfy the home
demand. It is by this meant in all probability
that normal conditions will be restored. Pres
ent high prices of stocks and merchandise can
oot continue Indefinitely. It is simply a ques
tion of time when Increased supplies will tn
tcivene and turn the current downward. This
has already occurred in the case of securities.
of which there is an excessive supply over-r
b£nglng the market, and the tame will event
ually bold true In the merchandise markets.
Just now, however, demand exceeds supply In
many of the commercial markets^ and con
sumption is being greatly stimulated by recent
advances in wages. Meanwhile the railroads
ere overburdened with traffic, and gross earn
ings continue to increase. While this situa
tion lasts It is impossible for the bears to make
any serious Impression upon values, and with
any considerable increase In the short Interest
If Is comparatively easy to force -a covering
movement Increasing expenses, due to the
rise in wages. Increased cost of coal and other
raw materials are, however, making serious
Inroads upon tie profits of railroads and In
dustrials alike. When annual reports come
out tome unpleasant surprises may be ex
pected on this acount. It may as weU be taken
for granted that the period of high profits is
over, and sooner or later values will have to
be adjusted accordingly. This is not a pessi
mistic view, but simply a recognition of facts
as they are. It is just as well to realize
that the sooner the country and its industries
get upon a normal basis the better, and the
ttore etabU our status will become."
for the Future.
A Wall street authority has the following to
eay of business and stocks:
"Conflicting influences caused a feverish and
unsettled market. The situation is no longer
one-sided; a bear party of considerable dimen
sions is at work, and the bulls while able to
prevent any marked weakness are unable or
unwilling at present to carry on a vigorous
campaign for the rise. Just now an added
uncertainty is Imposed by friction between
prominent capitalists, harmony being vastly
more difficult to maintain than twelve months
ago, when prosperity 6eemed endless. Sine*
then a change In the drift of affairs has set in.
and differences between the big leaders are
much more likely to occur; for should any of
these . gentlemen succeed in relieving them
eelves of a satisfactory portion of their load,
they will not be disposed to afford much as
sistance to those left behind. For several
jear* uaM. the interests of all the active leau ;i s
have been on the long side, and there has been
a oonspicuous lack of talent on the bear side,
chiefly of course because of extraordinary cir
cumstances. Whether changed conditions will
develop a new set of bear leaders or not re
mains to be seen; the probability is that they
will, and that the future will witness some
sharp contests for supremacy between the two
tides'. For this reason the market at times
may not be eo strictly governed by natural In
fluences as in the past; and while these may
control in the Ions rue, etill the operations vi
big leaders will be an Important factor in the
future and may require closer watching than
heretofore.
