CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—Wheat was firm
eary today, but weakened on predicted
Increase in visible, closing %c under yes
terday. Corn declined with wheat, and
on freer country offerings, closing %@','sC
down. Oats closed lower. Provisions
weakened with corn and on profit taking,
closing 2%0 lower -nil around. The de
in the visible was still a bull com
fort at the opening 01 the wheat mar.
ktt, and further cttefer came in reports of
small receipts. M.uy, ai<;ur<lingly, tacked
%c .»nto yesterday's closing price, opening
.0. The continent inquired for
the cereal and another brace was taken,
May advancing to 70@70%c. The market
proved to be the climax of its glory.
The market eased off a bit on profit tak
ing and later turned weak when Brad
street's report put the predicted decrease
in the visible among the errors of history,
averring that instead there would be an
increase of 1,390,000 bushels. Recent pur
chasers let go in a hurry and May closed
at the bottom, under yesterday, at
«9%@69%c.
Primary receipts were 774,700 bushels,
compared with 1,480,080 a year ago. The
effect of this decrease was largely coun
teracted by the shipments frcm the same
points. 220,900 bushels. Local receipts,
only 2!< cars, 15 of contract grade. Minne
apolis and Duluth reported 329 cars,
agninst 540 la.si week and 1.230 the corre
sponding day last year. Seaboard clear
ances in wheat and flour were equal to
156,<*54. NVw York reported 10 loads taken
for export.
Corn was steady early, the strength of
the wheat market and light receipts being
the influences. The market weakened
later nn country acceptances of l*|fl
night's bids being somewhat freer. This,
t rike:\ with the weakness of wheat, was
sufficient to cause some liquidation, and
the price lost more than double its early
gain. Local receipts were 166 cars. Clear
ancles were liberal and a fair export busi
ness reported. May ranged from 32%$
82% cto :. dosing %@%C lower at
Uats were steady at the opening, but
eased off with wheat. There was little
life to the trade. Shipping uemand poor.
Local receipts, only IIS cars. May ranged
from 23% Cto 24% C, closing at 23% c.
Provisions early were strong, but the
weakness of gTain and the active profit
taking turned the tide and the close was
easy at prices under yesterday's close.
The initial strength was due principally
to hog receipts considerably under last
year, but this advantage was offset later
by a less pressing demand from outside
and the anxiety to realize on the late ad
vance. May options closed: Pork, 2%c
down at $9.82%; lard, 2%c down at $5.47%;

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The tone of the
market for industrial securities showed
a decided contrast today to that for rail
road securities. The break in prices of
the Industrials approached demoraliza
tion by the middle period of the after
noon. Meantime the raiiToad stocks al
most without exception held tenaciously
to their price. Late in the day the
bears began to cover and wrought some
very marked recoveries in the industrial
list. At the same time the railroads,
which had been almost stagnant, dis
played some signs of animation and rose
generally above yesterday's level. Net
gains in a few railroads reached a point.
The late recovery in stocks was coinci
dent with an easing in the call money
rate to 3 per cent, after ruling at 7 to 8
per cent earlier in the day. The banks
were calling 1 loans, and the movement of
the industrial's suggested that they were
in disfavor not only with the speculative
public, but with the money lenders, in
dustrial collateral apparently being dis
placed to a greater extent than other
classes. The bears were very active and
made bold onslaught on the industrial
list, uncovering stop loss orders on a
large scale.
The easing of the money rate aroused
the supposition that the banks had
strengthened their position to a satisfac
tory extent, promising some relief from
calling of loans. As it was evident that
the short interest had been largely ex
tended the room traders turned to the
bull side, on the general theory that
three days' decline in prices had reached
far enough. They had some success in
forcing the shorts to cover, and the de
mand from that source became rather
urgent. Quite a number of the indus
trials showed declines of 3^ to 7 points,
and the subsequent rally brought them
up from IV2 to 3 points. Sugar was de
cidedly erratic, owing to the sitting of
the directors to act on the dividend.
After an early advance there was de
cided weakness, and only a momentary
check to the fall where the regular divi
dends were announced. It fell off after
vards to 149%, and after rallying over 3
points eased off again, closing with a net
gain of a small fraction. The increase
in the dividend rate on Atchison pre
ferred, though not entirely unexpected,
had a strengthening influence on the rail
road list.
Some strength was imparted to the in
ternational stocks by the support accord
ed in the American department of the
London market. Continued large ship
ments of currency to the South and a loss
of over $1,000,000 by the banks to the sub
treasury on yesterday's subtreasury op
erations are reported. Sterling exchange
continued firm today.
There was little doing in railroad bonds,
and prices held about steady. Total
tales, par value, $1,130,000. United States
new 4s and old 4s advanced % in the bid
price.

stock gossip, reported by H; Holbert &

wire us: "It is not worth while to at
tempt to give any detailed account of to
day s stock market as the movements
have been so largely professional as to
f2 + £™ °f, much of the importance
that ordinarily would be attached to a
market in which the public were more
deeply interested. For some reason best
known to themselves the traders have
seen fit to hammer prices in all directions
and v, ¥ r.- Keene's brokers are credited
with being free sellers of stock through
out the list. We think this has increased
the short interest in the market beyond
reason, for there is nothing in the situa
tion to warrant any marked decline in
prices at this time. Of course, money
rates continue to work close, and indus
trials are pretty generally discriminated
against as collateral. At the same time
not more so than has been the case for
the past few weeks. Certainly all reports
as to the earnings of industrials such as
National Steel, Tobacco, Smelters, Steel
and \V ire are exceedingly flattering, while
to our mind the general railroad situa
tion throughout the country both as to
business in view and for the mainten
ance of rates was never better than at
this time. We cannot help renewing our
expressions of confidence in Union Pacific
and Baltimore & Ohio, also in New York
Central and Pennsylvania. A very decid
ed rally started during the last hour, with
go general a recovery as to put prices
nearly 1 per cent above the opening fig
ures." &

Cattle receipts ran about 500 head more
than the same day a year ago. Butcher
cattle were in good demand, but the bulk
of the stuff offered was only common to
fair in quality. A few scattering head of
cows were good and sold well. Canners
were fully steady. In the stock cattle
alleys there was no notable change in
prices, and conditions were about the
same as on Tuesday. Good cattle were
in demand and sold rapidly, while the
common stuff was slow and lower. Dur
ing the early hours some very choice
stock calves sold higher, but the bulk
went at steady prices.
