CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Though wheat was
easy early the market turned firm on a
bullish December crop report, a decrease
in the visible and moderate receipt?, clos
ing strong. May was B,ic over Saturday at
69<g691 / ic. Corn and oats closed unchang
ed. Provisions, sustained by a good de
mand, light home supply, and a predicted
Bhortase in products, closed B%@sc higher.
Althot/gh wheat at the opening was %c
UP for May, Ihe feeling was not bullish.
Cables weie lower, and an Increase in
the visible of about 750,000 bu was ex
pected. The demand was anything but
pressing, and in a dull 1 sort of way the
market eased off, May to 6S l/4<B(>S 3'bC. At
this point it steadied, and as statistics
bullish in tone arrhed advanced to a
strong' close.
The visible hit the prophets by show-
Ing a decrease of 58,000 bu. Receipts only
moderate were reported, and the Orange
Judd Farmer came out with the asser
tion that the wheat growth is rank and
pappy—very susceptible to cold weather,
and that fly damages In the sown fields
Of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys are
greater than appreciated by growers
themselves. Primary receipts were only
60MO0 bu, compared with 1,720.800 bu a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported (L'O cars, against 1,837 (for two
days) last week, and 1,617 a year ago.
Local receipts were 98 cars, 35 grading
contract.
The advance carried May to dW^c, and
the close was fgc over Saturday at 6H@
f.ii'ic During the last hour the market
wns rather active. Clearances were 515,-
OOC bu. World's shipments were much
under last years, 5,499,000 bu, compared
With 9.844,000 bu.
Corn was easy and trade dull. De
cember lost x *c, and the discount under
May widened to 2v 2 c. Cash corn fell off
'/■/'iC With colder weather expected to
bring forth liberal offerings there was
little disposition to buy. The vlsihle in
creased 540.000 bu, and local stocks 60,000
bu. Receipts here were 140 cars, and at
primary points 516,900 bu, compared with
653,500 by last year. December ranged
2J'ic to 30%C'30&c, and closed unchanged
from Saturday, 32%<aS2~ic.
pats were firm, a good cash demand
being the strengthening factor. Two
hundred and forty thousand bu were
Worked by one concern alcne. The total
Etock. JiibM.i bu, increased 63,000 bu.
The visible expanded 263,000. May ranged
from 23} 4 c to 23%@&%c, closing "at 23%<§,
Ro'fcC.
Provisions op?ned strong, and though
the market eased off some the firmness
was maintained to the ctose. January
pork eariy was up 12V 2 c. Hogs—Receipts
were light and prices for them higher
The outside demand opened for them
higher; the outside demand improved,
and there was considerable talk of a
shortage in products on January delivery
day, all of \ihich was productive of back
bone for the price. There was consider
able buying of lard and ribs and of Jan
uary pork. The advance was chocked by
standing selling order?, but the loss on
profit-taking was lc«s than the early gi-ln.
January pork ranged from $9.47% to
J9.E7%, closing at $9.50. May lard closed
at 85,40; May ribs at $5.20.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—The weakness In
Btocks today was a response to the world
wide tightness In money. A marked effect
was also produced by the supreme court
decision In the Addystone Pipe case, In
volving an Infringement of the antitrust
law by Industrial combination. Strenu
ous efforts were made by professional
operators to belittle the force of this de
.clslon, on the ground that the party to
the case was a particular illustration of
a trust formation, and that the points in
the case could not apply to the general
run of Industrial combinations, but the
acute effect produced on the securities
of these combinations argued an appre
hension on the part of holders that their
value would be Impaired by the decision.
Stocks of the industrials fell anywhere
from 1 to 4 points, and showed but a fee.
ble rallying power. There was s"ome early
strength In Burlington, some of the Iron
and steel stocks, Pacific Mall, Great
Northern preferred and American Linseed
preferred, but with the downward course
begun there was practically no Interrup
tion, and the closing was at the lowest,
the majority of active stocks showing net
losses of a point or ever. Sugar was con
spicuously weak, and is over 3 points low
er on the day.
There was some short selling among
the industrials on the strength of the su
preme court decision, but that profit tak
ing was large for the long account was
very manifest from the marked weakness
In stocks which have recently advanced,
notably the trunk lines, the Pacifies and
Sugar.
The apprehension over money affairs
turned principally to foreign centera,
especially to Berlin and Paris. The ad
vance In the sterling rate at 8 points to
*near the gold export level marked the
influence of the Bank of England's meas
ures to attract funds. The sterling ex
change rate In New York also advanced,
but the money rate, both in Paris and
Berlin, remained quiet, contrary to the
fears of the speculative world.
The stagnation of speculation at both
centers probably had to do with this re
sult. In New York, on the contrary, the
money rate stiffened as the day progress
ed, and flurried to 12 per cent, at which
point it closed. No loans were made be
low 6 per cent. Some of the borrowers,
counting upon an easy money market fol
lowing Saturday's strong bank statement,
delayed supplying their needs until late In
the day, and so bid up the rate. The
strength of Saturday's bank statement la
seen to be traceable to a single Institu
tion, as was the case last week. More
over, subtreasury operations, from whi?h
the whole of last week's cash recupera
tion was derived, show gains by the sub
treasury at the expense of the banks
since last Friday of $1,274,000. Offerings
of bonds for redemption at the subtreas
ury have fallen to so low a point as to
afford a slight offset to the ab&orption
of funds In the taking up of the surplus
revenues. On the other hand, Interior ex
changes moved slightly In favor of New
York. The speculative public, however,
has abandoned hope of any easier money
conditions until after the end of the year.
Railroad bords were easier, In sympathy
] with stocks. United States 2s, new 4s and
6s advanced % and the 3s and old 4s cou
pon % In the bid price. Total sales, par
value, $1,430,000.

WALL STREET GOSSlP—Chicago
board of trade gossip, reported by H. Hol
oert & Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Rob
ert street. National German-American
Bank building, St. Paul Strong, Sturgis
& Co. wire us: "Quotations are general
ly lower today, and speculation has dis
tinctly halted, showing signs of weariness
and a lack of support. Different causes
have contributed to produce this result
the first, no doubt, being the increased
bank rate in London. This rate has
checked the demand for our securities
and has caused selling to quite a decided
extent. It is a feature that must be re
garded as very serious, for its influence
on our markets may be very far
reaching. The second cause for depres
sion may be found in the decision Just
handed down against trusts, for, while
the influence may be regarded as partly
sentimental, yet timid holders are af
fected. We are disappointed in the out
look and workings of our market, hav
ing hoped for more elasticity, but the
Transvaal question daily colors the sit
uation more and more, and the end is
a long way off."
Bartlett, Frazier & Co., Chicago, tele
graphed the following to Edwards &
Bedell, stock brokers and commission
merchants, 110 Endicott arcade. St. Paul
Minn.: "Hudson—Rather inclined to buy
Sugar on breaks." Adams—"Hear now
that Leather common is a good thing on
the long side." Bartlett. Frazier & Co.—
A report comes from Terre Haute that
the sale of Evansville & Terre Haute
road this week to the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois is part of a larger deal by which
the consolidated properties will be sold
to the \ anderbilts' Bier Four company."
Morse— It is reported that a new deal in
Great-Northern wjll be started this week,
which will put the stock much higher.

of Lnion Pacific. It is time to go a lit

take the common stock. Buy Norfolk
on any decline. London will sell a little
stock on balance today. Its prices are
about at our close. Locally the market
will probably be rather narrow, await
ing the legislation proposed in congress
and the president's message. The bank
statement will perhaps make a little buy-
FOREIGN FINANCIAL-New York,
Dec. 4.—The Commercial Advertiser's
London financial cablegram says: "The
markets here were slack and irregular
operators impatiently awaiting important
news from the Transvaal. Americans be
gan firm on quiet buying of Union Pa

a rather weak close. Chesapeake & Ohio
