unlicensed houses. The Weather was un
. favorable for grading. There was a good
shipping demand. Seaboard clearances

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 6.—The burden of
a lower Liverpool market and liberal
- Northwest receipts were too much for
holders of wheat, and they sold on the
opening, bringing a decline of %c from
opening prices and I%C down from the
high point of yesterday. Minneapolis
and Duluth received 553 cars of wheat,
against 500 last year. Minneapolis had
438 cars, against 312 last year; Duluth 145,
against 158. The stock of wheat in Min
neapolis has increased 600.010 bu in four
days of the week, so that indications are
for a good increase on the week. Wheat
and flour cleared was 4u2,000 bu; corn.
1,094,000. Primary wheat receipts con
tinue to hold above a year ago. 686,000
hu today, against 672,000 bu last year.
Kansas "City received 75,000 bu. against
35,000 last year. Live: closed ,_d to
%d lower. •
The market turned weak on the close,
selling off on the afternoon curb to 74V.C.
May wheat closed at 74*40, a decline of
lc from yesterday.
There was better demand for cash
:«C_? wheat. Flour sales have been enough
larger to make a show of improvement in
demand for milling wheat. No. 1 north
ern was well taken. The December-May
difference narrowed fractionally, putting
ca>»U' trades in No. 1 northern at l".c
■under May for.the average. No. 2 north
- crn did net vary as to premiums, and 4c
under May was the ruling price. The
No. 3 grade, which was depressed yester
day, showed decided improvement, a

: NEW YORK. Dec* 6.— determined* ef
fort was manifest in the Stock market
to start a renewal speculation for a
rise. In the early realings there was a
fair degree of success, attending the ef
fort under the influence of striking gains
in a few stocks. ~ Strength persisted in a
few stocks throughout the day, but it was
offset during the latter part of the day
by equally striking losses in some of the
leading specialties. : A: large part of the
list fell, back to. about last night's level,
and wavered in an uncertain way-until
the closing, which was generally easy.
The rally in this market late yesterday
was taken as a cue by the London mar
ket this morning. - Foreign markets have
shown a growing disposition of late to
follow Wall street's lead, and the • rally
yesterday.. afternoon was pronounced by
some observers- as due to maniplation
with the purpose of Inviting buying of
Americans in London today. If this wa_s
the purpose, it was successful; London
bought stocks '■ here at the opening, - help
ing on the rise. There was a consider;^
ble short interest as a result of the weak

which proved vulnerable to the | rather
imposing show of strength this morning.
Even amongst these ' stocks which wire
afterwards the weakest, there were some
considerable gains . during... the early

SOUTH ST. PAUL, .... MINNESOTA
U/EEKLY MARKET LETTER
South St. Paul, Dec 6.
CATTLE-Killing 'cattle of all kinds
have been in good f demand this week,
with prices fully steady with last week
The hulk of the offerings have been com-
mon to fair and canner cows. There
have been a few common to fair steers,
and we have had one-.bad of good fat
steers, choice enough to sell at: $5.00.
Scattering heads of choice fat cows and
heifers have sold at $3.75@4.10. In the
stock cattle division there has been a de
cided improvement. . .While individual
prices have not been much higher the av
erage price for the bulk of the stuff has
been higher. We feel - certain, however,
that this condition is not due to an im
provement in the market \ situation, but
to light receipts/ With a heavy run of
cattle it is more than likely -that condi
tions would have been even c worse than
last week. The" yards are well cleaned
up tonight, and. it is more than prob-
ber of important stocks achieved gains
of nearly a point, but a careful scrutiny
of the market showed that the movement
all day was distinctly . one of special
stocks. .-The low priced- non-dividend
paying railroad stocks were the favorites,
especially the. Erics and the Wabash is
sues, r both." stocks and bonds. Nothing
authoritative'could be learned to explain'
this movement, which rumors attributed
to buying for Vanderbilt control, and. to
joint plans for consolidation- and through
traffic agreements of the two lines. .- ~. The
rise extended to over two points in, Erie
first preferred and to 1% in the second
j preferred, and both closed at about the
top, * being practically the only stocks in
the list to do so. Besides, these stocks
there. were upwards of "thirty stocks sell
ing under 40, which were advanced from
a half to one and a i half. SL Joseph
& . Grand Island . first preferred jumped
five points on prospects of a dividend in
crease. The Green Bay & Western is
sues were strong, though the principal
activity was in debentures B's. ,. Sugar
was active and feverish all day, and ap
parently the traders were seeking to re
trieve their losses on the bull side by a
bear campaign. They circulated a report
of the serious illness of the president of
! the company, which was denied. • The
j slock fell an extreme 3%, and closed 'only
slightly better at a net loss of 2%. Ten
nessee* Coal was even more actively af-
I fee ted and fell altogether 5% to 64,. clos
i ing at -the lowest, with' a loss of: 4% on
the day. The report was confidentially dis
seminated that it had been determined
to pass the next dividend on the slock.
The increase in the dividend rate for the
half year on Denver & Rio Grande pfd
from 2 to 2% per cent caused a late aa
vance in that stock of 1% and in the
common stock of 1%. - This caused a
sympathetic hardening fof the market,
but prices did not'hold in the face of
renewed weakness.-, in:---the specialties.
There was no appreciable change in
money market conditions.
The bond market was'active and-con
sistently • strong."many low grade junior
and contingent bonds advancing strongly.

HOGS— week opened with a drop
of 5 cents, but this was followed with
a steady, market on Tuesday and ad
vances of 10 cents on Wednesday and to
day, so that our market today is 20 cents
higher than the week's opening. Receipts
continue heavy, -and the quality of the
hogs coming in .is averaging good to
choice. Today the bulk of the hogs sold
at $4.70(g,4.75, with a range of $4.50 to $4.75.
One bunch of fancy sorted hogs sold at
$4.80. Rough throwouts are selling at
$4.40 to $4.45.7
SHEEP—The fat lamb market is 10. to
15 cents higher than last week, and fair
ly act! ye at the advance. Best quality
lambs are selling at $4.75. Fat sheep are
steady and active. Good: quality stock
and feeding sheep and lambs are selling
readily at unchanged prices. Cull stuff
is hard to dispose of at low prices.

Dec. 6..—Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: - The markets
here were j moderately active and cheer
ful . today. It is understood that the
present session of parliament will au
thorize no new government loan, but
merely vote a 9 supplementary estimate,
leaving to the February session the ex
ercise of _ fresh borrowing powers. - A
severe storm interrupted cable communi
cation with Paris, which, perhaps, ac
counted for the steadiness of Tintos. New
York meanwhile bought Anacondas. The
American department was good all day,
the activity being, - however, mainly on
orders from New York. Erie- Issues led
buoyantly, but London did little, distrust
ing -> the rumor of buying by New York
Central and Pennsylvania interests. It
was reported that " the exchequer bonds
have -been taken mainly by government
departments, thus assisting the money
market. The Bank of Bengal raised its
minimum discount rate from 4 to 5 per
cent.
London, Dec. Consols for money,
97%; for the account, 971-36. - -
