Wheat closed Vie lower;, corn, %@%c higher; oats a shade lower and provisions 2%c improved- ' * Wheat was dull and uninteresting mar ket, the proximity of the holiday season exerting Its customary quieting influence over speculators. May opened unchanged to %C lower at 73% cto 73*__c. the bull con tingent, having imbibed a draught of en couragement from the Liverpool market, which showed a shade less decline than in the prices here yesterday. There was little demand for wheat, however, and during the forenoon the market dropped, to 73c. At this figure commission houses bought moderately, probably for sho-ts who wanted: to even up-their trades for the Christmas cessation of business. Near the end of the session the market ruled steadier ,on--a profivct. of a visible de crease au-l May rallied -to 73% c, at which the market closed, %c under yesterday. Seaboard- clearances in wheat* and-flour ! were equal t0353,A00 bu. Primary receipts ;. aggregated 751.C00 bu, compared with'4s7, --\ 000 bu last year. Minneapolis and Du \luth reported 461 cars, against 137 cars last week and "S5 cars a year ago. Do tal receipts were 132 cars, 34 of "contract grade. New York reported 19 :=*-ds taken lor export. ■* - Corn was dull, finding only a narrow professional market. Light country of ferings sustained prices,'although the un dertone was rather easy on favorable weather. Receipts were 374 cars, none of contract ■ grade. December sold between 3G%c and ."7c. and closed %C higher at 27c.. May-ranged between- 35?4c and 36c, and closed 'all.;- up at 36c. Oats ruled extremely dull, with the tone easier in .sympathy with wheat. May sold j between "23% c and y,y-. and closed a ■ shade down at 23%<_?23%c. , Receipts were 53 cars. :' ". ■[.."- Provisions were dull and steady, prices^ being maintained chiefly by a demands for lard and ribs, both an influential op erator.

Dec- 14.—Wheat was dull but the market held well, consider-' ing the fact that there were several bearish items to be dealt with. The Argentine came forward Cs a liberal ' shipper of wheat again, the movement or the week being 712,000 bushels, against 200,0000 Isat week. The southwest move ment continues free, 71,000 bushels against 20,000 last year. The northwest, move — ment was large, 414 cars at Minneapolis against 288 last' year, 4S at Duluth against "ICO. The primary receipts were much heavier thai) . last year, 776,000 bushels against 457.000. With this news to carry ihe market held steady up to'noon. May wheat opened at 74c, touched 73%@73%c ; nd rallied to 73% c. There was quiet mpport offered. But the market was not in the least active and barring the stead iness it was not particularly suggestive. The dullness held to the close and last — rices were firm with May at 74c bid, ._:C higher than yesterday. Receipts ran heavier than expected and cash offerings were larger. There was no increase in receipts of milling wheat, and ie quantity of No. 1 northern in sight was proportionately light. Much of the wheat was low grade, some of it very poor. Millers were-fair buyers^ They wcr out for dry wheat and passed every thing with a suspicion of dampness. No. .3 was in demand for prime lots at top prices for the grade. Poor. No. 3 was quiet. The market shows the same un satisfactory tone on the damp low grades. No. 1 northern sold at lc under May on the average. No. 2 was weak and sold lower relatively than at any time since trading began on the May basis, good dry No. 2 going, at 3%c under May. The average price was 70c,.a few cars brought 71c and others sold 5c under May, around 69c. Rejected ranged from 52. to 60c and no grade 50 to 55c with an occasional car around 59@60c. .

Today's market ruled generally quiet, with special important features. Advices from abroad lacked incentive in either dire .tion where prices for tin in London remained un changed, with the demand at prevail rates confined to supplying the immediate wants' of. .buyers on the ba?is of 117.10s ;\ the situation locally was dull and nomi nally unchanged at $26 75.f0r spot. Ccppar in London was "0.. higher,, owing to a falling off in arrivals, and closed firm at 7!%s 2d. This factor failed to influence local traders, and our market ruled dull and unchanged at $17 for Lake Superior and 16 r-ic for casting copper and electro lite, with sellers at those figures. Lead nominally $4.37%, with sales of only small 1 lots reported. In London, however, prices I were again lower, reaching £16. Spelt ! was dull, with business small at $4.15.14.20. J London was quoted, at 18.155. Domestic! iron markets were dull and featureless at-unchanged prices. Advices from Eng lish markets again showed further losses at Glasgow and Middleboro. Closing prices were 60c 2d and 53. ffd, respectively. : NEW YORK MONEY—New York, Dec. 14.—Close: Money on call steady at 4@ 5 per cent. Last loan. 4 per cent.

Another r checking influence was the in terruption of the continental telephone service. In Americans-this was another "Erie" day. "There was fair professional business in these securities, but the price 1 never attained paiity. Nevertheless the New York. spurt in Erics strengthened the whole market: till profit taking in New York in Erid stock caused-a heavy close generally, although Wabash-is still want- Ed here, probably in sympathy with Erics. The bank received £130,000 ' gold from Uruguay. Notwithstanding the dullness In American and continental exchanges, it is c most improbable that the , bank rate will be moved this year. It is un derstood that the European gold men tioned in Tuesday's . dispatches will be intercepted in Germany. Silver was dull on the closine of -the- French - tender WALL STREET GOSSIP-Strong, Stur gis & Co. wire H.Holbert & Son: '-Wa bash advanced on rumors of probable ab sorption by the Vanderbilt interest.
