May corn gained e, May oats closed Y%c higher and provisions finished lower all around. Wheat kept within a narrow range. It opened from Y%e to below its closing e i lue on Saturday and did not change much | 15, It was in the main heavy all , and there was much to make it so, in- cluding an Increase of 1,200,000 bu. in the quantity of wheat and flour on ocean pas- sage and a decline of from %d to 1d in prices at Liverpool. Cables from London reported reselling of Russian wheat there at less than shippers' prices. A Liverpool firm cabled that the reports from Argen- tine were coming better as regards their crop prospects, There was an increase of 80,000 bu. In the visible supply of wheat Here, and Minneapolis and Duluth got 970 carloads today, compared with 746 cars on the corresponding day of last year. May wheat old at 59%c at the opening and did not go any lower than B¢ during the day The restraining influence on the bears was the government crop report, due this afte noon. That wag too uncertain a quantity to encourage much selling. ~The English visible supply was estimated to have creased 1,357,000 bu. last week, and New York reported some filling of orders there for cash wheat for export. May closed at Corn was strong, considering the weak feeling which previiled in wheat. The re- ceipts are giving evidence of falling off. The wealkness in the cash article was the only bearish feature in today’s trade. The open- ing price for May was 49%c, and it sold at from 49%c to 4%%c. After ‘that it worked upward and touched 0%e for a moment, but was down again at the close to from 49%c to 19%c. Oats were a shade with corn and probably crease of 594,00 bu. in ed at 32%c, where fluctuations. The provision market was heavy and prices ruled lower. The packers had pro- ducts for sale when any one bid for them and sometimes did not wait for bids, but made offerings, shading prices. Hog re- celpts were 44,000 head, and are estimated at 33,000 head for tomorrow. Prices at the close showed the following losses for May delivery, pared with those on Saturday: May pork, 22ic; lard, 12igc; ribs, 12i5e.

NEW YORK, Dec, 10.—The week opened in the Stock exchange with a weak tone to speculation, being depresesd by the hea¥ls ness of American securities on the London Stock exchange. There was also some sell- ing here for the forelgn account of a ma jority of the international speclalties. A report that Drexel, Morgan & Co. of this city and J. 8. Morgan & Co. of London would Issue simultaneously a siatement de- claring that the Brie peorganization plan would bé abandoned and that a stock as- sessment would be levied induced sales of the common stock in an unusually large amount, causing a decline of 1 per cent, while the preferred sales amounted to only 400 shares and broke 7)4 per cent compared with the last previous sale, which was made on November 1. Sugar was heavily' traded In, but the movement {n the stock was in the hands of the same clique which controlled last week's great speculation in_the shares. At the opening a decline of % per cent was made, followed by an advance of 24 per cent, a reaction of 1 per cent and a gain of 1% per cent o 63 shortly before noon, that being the top price of the day. During the after- noon the fluctuations were frequent, and shortly before the close the stock touched 9% per cent, the low figure of the morning, closing at a'recovery of % per cent. Com- pared with Saturday the shares are down % per cent, and from the best of the day 2% per cent. The conl shares were heavy on sales, believed by many to be in liquida- tion of 'long stock for the account of in- siders of the group, all cloaing at the lowest, except New Je Central, which rallied % per cent In the final tMding on small coverings . In the grangers the trading’ was light, ex- cept as to St. Paul, of which London was a seller, and the flictuations were confined within fractional limits, save in Northwest- ern, which moved within a range of 1 per cent. The tendency of the stocks was downward, and the sales show I from Saturday of % per cent in St. Paul and Northwestern and % per cent in Rock Island, Burlington standing unchanged. The generdl market was somewhat irregular, but was weak in the main and closed b t6 f per cent lower than on Saturday, the lat- h-r in Lake Shore. Some few the s clalties Show gains on the day, Including Consolidated Gas, 2 per cent; St. Paul pre- ferred, 1% per cent; Laclede Gas preferred, 2 per ¢ Laclede Gas common, % per cent: Rubber preferred, 1% per cent, and National Starch, 1 per cent. The market closed about steady. The bond market was slightly easier dur- ing the day for the more active issues, but few materlal changes belng made either way in the active securities. A fair amount of business was transacted, with Atchison firsts and Southern fives figuring for $165,000 each out of a total of $1,381,000.

The small supply of veal calyes failed to stim- ulate the market to any appreciable extent and prices were unchanged. Bulls, stags, ete., ruled weak and lower. There was not much of the weakness in fat cattle noticeable in the stocker and feeder trade.

Average Price of Most Procucts Show a Decline Over ¥Yrevious Years WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The average price of tobaceo Is returned at 6.7c per Ib., against 7.5c last year, a difference of 1.1c. The average farm price in Kentucky, which is the state of the largest production, is 5.5¢ per 1b, or 1.2e below the average for the country. The selling price of potatoes on the farm on December 1 is re- ported at an average of per bu., or 4.5c less than at the same date last year. The average plantation price of cotton, as show! the de- partment's reports on 1.9¢ per 1b., against 6.99c for same t year and B.4c in the year 1892, a decline from °the prices’ of these years respectively of 2.0% and 850 per Ib. The lowness of these prices is with- vut precedent.

The returns of correspondents of the depart- ment make the acreage of winter wheat sown last fall 108 per cent of the finyl extimate of the area harvested, which was 23,18,7 a fikuto Targer Laan the preiminary estimate given out in June last, which upon further investiga ton was found {o be tos low. The preliminary estimate therefore makes the area sown for the harvest of 1895, 24,224,000 acres. 85.5¢ WINTER WHEAT CONDITION POOR. Dry Weather Has Affected the Stooling of the Plant. CHICAGO, Dec. 10,—The December crop re- port, as compiled by the Prairle Farmer, to be issued Tuesday, says that further Investigation confirms the estimate made last month of a § per cent Increate in winter wheat compared with the area harvested this year. The condition of the growing crop averages 91.2, or about two points lower than a year ago. The crop w planted under unfavorable conditions and a large part of the area suffered from drouth during September and October and the plant is not well rooted, stooling poorly and thin on the ground. If hard freez'ng weather is deferred and there are good rains the deficiencles noted may be corrected, but the gencral stamina of the plant is less satisfactory than a year ago. A Epecial_report on the quality of corn indicates about 77 per cent of the crop is merchantable, or, in round numbers, 1,100,000,000 bu., the smallest since 1883, Coffee Market.
