G SURPRISED THE BEARS WHEAT TOOK A SUDDEN JUMP UPWARD UNEX PECTEDLY RECOVERY OF EARLY LOSS Weak Market Quickly Transformed Into a Strong; One— Feature of the Day's Trading Waa Heavy December Liquidation — Corn and Oats Were Strong; on Cawh Situation and Weather Outlook.

A fea ture of the trading was the heavy December liquidation. Corn and oats were strong on the cash situation and prospects of softer weather and advanced about %c each. Provisions cloeed unchanged to 2%c lower. The early tendency of wheat was towards higher prices. Holders of December and May wheat who were disposed to continue the liquidation that made such a weak market Saturday were deterred from selling at first by the firmness shown by Liverpool, where sn opening %o%d lower was more than re oovered by the time trading commenced here. Liverpool stocks were, reported today at only bu, fho wing a reduction for the week of 150,0<i<) bu,and to this small amount of avail able wheat was attributed the strength of the English market. Northwest receipts were 1,598 cars, compared with 2,001 last week, and 1,443 a year ago. Chicago receipts were only 147 < ara, 27 of contract grade. But a/f«r a short period of steadiness, during which time tbe smaller shorts covered moderately, the market weakened and for aa hour the tendency was distinctly downward. December devel oped the most weakness; at one time sold at %c discount under May. Every trader with December long wheat on bis hands appeared to be anxious to liquidate in advance of the regular delivery day, and the pressure from this source was altogether too heavy for the limited demand to cope with. For this reason the market became really weaker than appear ed warranted by the situation. Outside selling was quite prominent during this period of liquidation, St. Louis holders putting large quantities of wheat on the market. May opened %c higher at 66%©66' / 4c, and finally declined to 6044 C, the low point of the day. December started %c higher at 66%©66 c It aold at 66% c for a moment or two, then slow ly slid off to 65% c. About 11:30 the market began to improve. Primary receipts were very heavy and the visible increase, 1,977,000 bu, was considerably more than expected. But there was a good export demand, about 35 load* licinz disposed of at tbe seaboard and 160,000 bu here. This drew attention to the world's shipments figures, which again showed a big falling off from Russian ports. Out of a total of 7,7G1,0iw bu shipped from all points to Europe, Russia contributed but 992,000 bu. while Canada and the United States sent. 00. It was figured that Russia had not raised so large a crop as claimed, or h<»a resolved to hold it for higher prices. Either explanation was bullish and had considerable influence on the market Liquidation gradu ally ceased and the demand from shorts grew heavier. The nurket during tho last hour's trarliiic; waa decidedly strong, prices advancing Iteadlly under an increasing general demand, and higher prices were reached shortly be fore the eld->. May advanced to 66% c, and closed at 66%@66%c. December advanced to K%c and 1 . it d at 66%©66% c. Corn developed a good deal of strength, holding firm, even when wheat was ln tba dumps, l^i il bulls Increased their lines and ahnr.s com red actively. Prospect of softer weather was a bull Influence. Receipts were very light. 173 cars, and the seaboard and lo cal ii. mand excellent, sales here being put at I bu.

Bar silver, New York 59% 59.* Call money. New York 2% 2©2% NEW YORK, N3V. 28.— An animated buying movement broke oot in the last half hour oi today 3 stock market, which carried prices throughout the Bat buoyantly above tho prev ious high level, and made the closing very Bti-ong. The dem.ind was broad and better distributed than at any other time during the day, and tha mar kert. looked healthier and rreer from manitniafccm and lesa congested in a few promlnentjstoeiks than at any time dur ing tho current ftp Ward movement Jus: what the motive was for the renewal of tho buy ing waa not very obvious. Perhaps the sul len obstinacy pf the market ln the period of dullness and reaction in spots which fol lowed the opening strength had a large in fluence in encouraging renewed commitments to the long eld*. Tbe receipts of some orders in commission houses which had btxen held back by damage to telegraph wires was a.co a l&ctor. The market had already h'^d its openino apurt on the acceptance by Spain of the peace terms offered by tbe United States. Prices for Americans had been sharply advanced in London on the strength of this factor before the opening here. The professional trader's rule to sell on r>od news brought a flood of offerings to realize on the opening advance, by those who did the buying for several days past in anticipation of the Paris decision. Tho bears seized the opportunity to attack a group of specialties. Including Manhattan, Brooklyn Transit, Sugar, Peoples Gas anu Tobacco, and worked declines In them of from 1 to 2 per cent. Tho coalers, which have so often been tfc-* target of th© beaxs, br ko away from dw associations and showd unusual strength on account of tho belief ln tho adjustment of difficulties over the con trol of the coial trade. There was notable realising In ths Atchison issues, which held Chem back throughout the day. There was heaviness aUo ln the Federal Steel stocks and at one time In Sugar. The reactionary tendency carried prices be fewe ths middle of the day back to near Saturday's level ln some cases. The recover? began with the receipt of a number of strong traffic returns, nctablv that of St. Paul for Oe.tober, whi oh showed an increase In net earnings of $306,676, after an addition to operating expenses of nearly $192,000 over last veer's exnendlturos. There were good state ments besides for the third week in November for Norfolk ft Western; St. Louis ft San Francisco; Southern Railway and Denver & Rio Grande, and for October from C. & 0.. besides an increaae of eas>tbound shipments from Chicago last week of 11,518 tons over the pre ceding week, and of 61.442 tons over the cor responding period of last year. The trunk lines felt the beneflt of this letter statement, especially those of the South, tho Northern lines feeling the adverse effeot of tho snow storm. B. ft O. became conspicuous hi this group on late dealings. The aggressive strength shown by Union Pacific. Northern Pacific and the Oregon short lino issues was rather convincing evidences of progress !n the efforts to heial the differences between Northern Pacific aud Oregon Navigation. There was a oooisprik'uous upward movement ln Metropolitan Street Railway, carrying lt to 180% in spite ot loss of earnings by the snow storm. The bond market was strong and active and showed a general upward tendency in sym rthy with stocks. Total sales 3,_3<\000. U. 2s declined %. while the 6s advanced % and the old 4s registered ar.d the new 4a % ln the bid price. STOCKS.

Holbert ft Son bank ers and brokers. 841 Robert street. National German-American Bank building. St Paul: Post & Flagg wire us: "The market opened higher this morning, on London buying, and throughout the day continued to gain In strength and activity, contrary to the ex pectations of everybody. It ls a known fact that for past two weeks all the large Inter ests have been heavy sellers of stocks, and auch a movement as this almost always marks a culmination of a bull movement, but apparently this rule doe* not hold true thla time, for today's market waa about as strong and active as anything we have yet seen. A sutained advance in the month of December is almost an unknown occurrence, for that ls the time of the year for making up balances, and a general settling up be fore beginning the new year, and this proc ess generally leads- to considerable selling of tho long stocks by holders, who wish to transfer their margins from brokers' office* into their own business. For this reason, coupled with the faot of the excellent selling of late, makes us feel Inclined to be rather bearish, and as If we should sell long stocks If we had them, expecting to get them back at a profit some time between now and Christmas, etill we may be wrong in thla, for tnis is a very extraordinary year and one in which precedent counts very little," TREASURY STATEMENT — Washington, Nov. 2S.— Today's statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Available cash bal ance. $296,703,423; gold reserve, $240,705,809.

Massa, the former president of, the Cuban insurgent g-overnment, arrived here yeßterday on a visit' to his, fam ily. The members of the Cuban colony have tendered him a public reception. In an interview he confirmed the re port that one of the chief objects of the mission of Gen. Garcia and Messrs. Capote, Sangullly and Lanusa, to Washington, ls to endeavor to secure a grant or loan of money sufficient to pay off the Insurgent army, which ls about to be disbanded. He added that the provisional government ls bank rupt, and that, unless the Cuban army ls provided for satisfactorily, grave and regrettable complications may arise. The Cubans, Gen. Masso also said, entertain profound admiration and gratitude for the Americans, but nevertheless they wUI oppose annexa tion or a protectorate. They are con fidently expecting the United States to speedily recognize their ability to manage their own affairs, on which ba sis only, Gen. Masso concluded, ls per manent peace possible.
