PRICES TUMBLE
liN FINAL, HOUR
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.— Apart
from its fairly firm undertone the
greater part of the session,- the
course of today's stook ; 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 general recovery in
a movement lea by the coal stocks
the list held fairly, well until the
final hour, when reports of an
other meeting of the steel and
iron interests and advices from
Chicago, stating that a large ma
jority 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
\u25a0west continues to be of moderate
proportions, although last week's
receipts at Chicago, 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 attrib
uted to decreasing business in
many lines. Keen competition
for the $3,500,000 South African
gold received in London resulted
in an advance of \kc, with a divi
sion of the metal, $1,300,000 going
to Berlin, the balance being
equally distributed between the
Bank of England and India. There
was no open American demand for
the gold, despite recent rumors to
that effect.
Domestic exports for November
showed fairly large Increases in
shipments of corn and cotton, with
an extraordinary falling off in
wheat. Shipments of this cereal
were more than 5.000,000 bushels
below November. 1909. Total ex
ports of feedstuffs for the 11
months of the calendar year are
less by over $56,000,000 than in
tb* corresponding period last
year.
The bond market was easy.
Total sales par value $2,207,000.
United States bonds \u25a0were steady.
NEW YORK. Dec. 12.— E. F.
Hutton & Co.'s wire says: There
was practically nothing in the
matter of news over the •weekend
to influence sentiment in Wall
street today, and were it not for
some good buying in the hard coal
specialties the security market
would have remained uninterest
ing and professional. Bear trad
ers took the initiative this morn
ing at the opening and sold the
list freely, but the buying in
Reading and Lehigh Valley turned
the professionals to the bull side
of the account, causing general
advances until the late dealings,
when lack of continued inside
support weakened prices again.
The supreme court appointments
by the president seemed to be
favorably received by Wall street
today.

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.— Trading on the curb
today was quiet and price changes were narrow,
with the exception of Xipisslng and Ray Central. ;
which advanced «n inside buying. Chino ruled

Future Grain and Provisions
CHICAGO. Dec. 12. — Reports that prospects
were decidedly unfavorable for an average crop
in Oklahoma or tlm south and west parts of
Kansas tended today to advance the price of
wheat. A speculative advance in Liverpool had
also considerable effect. The close here was
at a net gain of ii 4c4 c tc^i' t r^%p. All the other
leading staples showed losses, corn finishing l '^%
%c down: oats, %c to %c, and provisions, 12%<3
15c to 37 %c.
Rising quotations for wheat were in the face
of an unusual array of bearish news. World
shipments were much larger than a year ago.
and there was said to be an increase of 84. 554.000
bushels In the Russian field, as compared with .
the .previous 12 months. The United States
visible supply, though nominally exhlbitiug a
decrease, did not Include a total of nearly
5.000.000 bushels In boats at Buffalo, Dulnth and
Canadian terminal harbors. Xews favoring the
bear side, however, a downpour in Texas, not ex
pected, had no weight on the. market, as there
was no important selling pressure. On th«
other hand, according to one authority. 50 per
cent of the wheat in -4,500.000 acres in Kansas
and Oklahoma has not germinated, and of the
plants that have sprouted 15 to 20 per rent are
dead. Because of the large handicap to the
winter crop the close was not far from the top
figures of the session. May fluctuated between
0534 c and 953& C, with last sales at 95% c, a net
gain of U<*-
Corn started strong:, but sagged later. May
ranged from 47' 4 o to 4~Tgc. with the close
ii 4c4 c net lower at \u25a047 I - 4 c.
Cash corn was weak. Xo. 2 yellow finished
at 51<g51%c
In oats shorts helped prices up early, but
receipts at primary markets were more than
double la»t year.
Accordingly weakness follows. May varied
from 33% cto 34% c and In, the end was ?c Off
at 33% (a 34c.
Business in hog products was on a decidedly
big .scale. Last sales left pork down 35c to

CHICAGO, Dee. 12.— E.^ F. Hutton & Co.'s
wire says: "The wheat market has been a dull
and narrow one most of the day, but has worked
higher at the last. Saturday's closing level to
%c lower were the lowest figures today, despite
the. receipts of much bearish news. Higher
Liverpool markets, closing Id to l%d up. proved
the deciding influence, although all continental
European markets were lower. Statistical news
was also bearish. Some sensational figures Is
sued by the International Institute of Rome re
garding Russian yields made total European
Russian yield 521.521.000 bushels and Asiatic
Russia 93.513.000 bushels," or .^ total of 917.
634.000 bushels, all U>ld, agjfliist 753.000.000
bushels 'a year ago. This news had no weight on
the market, as there was no very large trade or
important selling pressure. There have been
estimates from Argentina today of exportable
surplus as low as 60,000,000 to C 5.000.000 bush
els, but the Buenos "Aires market quoted l%c to
2c per bushel ' lower. \u25a0 Harvesting is progressing

Horse* and Mules
The following quotations for horses and mules
are furnished by the Butchers' and Stock Grow
ers' Journal: , *
There was no local auction of either horses or
mules during the week. What horses did cnange
hands here were made at private sale. These
sales were numrous and prices paid high. This
is particularly true when it came to any indi
vidual showing bone, weight and action. As the
season extends into the winter it Is developing
a marked scarcity of good horses, and further
that truck horses have been called upon to ex
ceed their working capacity, owing to a short
age* of team power. This condition, coupled
with the call from the fanner, should insure a
brisk market, with high prices.
The auction sale of horses and mules held at
Crows Landing during the week was a marked
success. Prices realized for both horses and
mules were fully up to quotations, quality con
sidered. The feature of the sale was the eager
ness with which farmers bought up the young
mules. This indicates a big shortage in hybrids
The sale realized over $20,000.
There will be an auction sale of unusual Inter
est held in San Francisco on Tuesday, when a
number of desirable light drafters will go under
the hammer. This sale should give buyers some
idea of what future values will be.
Another extra auction will b* held Pecember
19, when 50 pure bred Shire mares will be of
fered to breeders. This will be a rare oppor
tunity for farmers to secure a choice individual
which will more than earn her oats. and return
a handsome profit In the way of a classy colt.

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
PETALUMA. Dec. 12.— The market showed a
drop of 2 is cents after receipt of transactions
from the San Francisco dairy exchange. The
Petaluma egg exchange paid 39 cents for extra
grade. Independent dealers and speculators
paid from 38 cents to ,"U cents, according to
the grade. Receipts of fr»^a produce are re
ported ln.-reasing daily. The demand is keen
and the eggs of best quality are warcer nn the
market than, any other grade on account of be
ing retained for hatching purposes. The weather
is warm am! gra**-* la growing rapidly. Poultry
is In fair demand and will continue ao until
after the holidays.
SAXTA ROSA. Dec. 12.— The local egg marker
feu off 2% cents at the opening of the week on
receipt of information regarding th» Monday
morning transactions on the San Francisco dal-y
produce exchange today. The focal dealers are
quoting ::s cents per dozen, cash, on dellverr.
for choice and 35 cents for seconds. The demand
is stronger for choit-e while the- snpply is light
as most of the produrer3 ar«» engaged in filling
their incubators for ta* spring hatch.' All in- •
dieations point to a much larger hatch thU sea
son than for several years.
SAXTA CRUZ. Dec. 12.— Another week opens
with egx* plentiful, bnt prices weak, consfder
ius conditions. With ff>ed high and eggs bring
ing fn>tn 40 to 42 cents per dozen, the margin
of profit to pnultrymen fa not encouraging, but
hopes are entertained for stronger prices. Some
of the Doultrymen say that the sudden drop In
price of pgs;s is partly due to the weak condi
tion of dairy produce which has fallen la price
considerably lately.
