COMNERGIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Firmed Up Yesterday and Closed a Fraction Higher, SHORTS WERE READY TO BUY LONGS OUT Corn Was Qulet but Fluctuations Were Con- flned to a Narrow Range—Provisions Rather Weak but soon Advauced. CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—Liberal export clear- ances and Bradstreet's report of decrease in wheat stocks east of the Rockies, on the Pacific slope, in Burope and afloat firmed up wheat today and May closed %c higher. May corn closed unchanged, May oats higher and provisions show little change, Wheat, although opening about %c lower than it closed yesterday, was much firmer subsequently than had been expected. The government report had apparently been dis- unted yesterday, and although rather bearishly construed, the shorts were ready and wiling to buy all the wheat the longs were disposed to sell on account of it, al- though Pardridge was o seller. The com- parative strength of the opening was in spite of receipts at Minneapolis numbering 7% cars, against 654 cars on the correspond- ing day of last year, and lower foreign mar- kets. Another bearish feature of the sta- tistical news was shipments from all ex- porting - countries outside of the United tates and Canada last week of wheat and flour to the amount of 5,7 00 bu. An ad- vance under such circumstances was rather a surprise to the trade, but the opening purchases were made at the lowest prices of the day, May selling at from 5 to 59%c very little of it, however, at bS 1t improved unil, at_about 12 o'clock, it had_got up to 59%c. Export clearances from New York amounted to 118,000 bu. of wheat and 70,000 bblg. of flour. The prices got a further slight holst and the bulls had additional re- assurance when Bradstreet's reported a_de- crease in wheat stocks east of the Rockles of 314,000 bu., a decrease on the Pacific slope of 475,000 bu. and a decrease in Burope and afloat of 456,000 bu. Cables also improved in tone as the session progressed. The mar- ket closed firm at 59%c for May The corn market was qulet, but fluctua- tions were confined to a narrow range. The receipts were 388 , against 400 esti- mated, and only 200 cars are expected on to- morrow. The withdrawals from store were ,000 bu. New York reports some inquiry for export and six boat loads placed toda The lowa state report called the total pro- duction in that state this year 80,867,000 bu., or about 6,000,000 bu. less than the uu\l‘rll» ment estimate. The price of May 40% at the opening and 49%c bld at the l'll)h\‘ with G0c paid for a little flurlmi the da The market for oats showed very little activity, The firmer feeling still existed, in- fluenced by a like situation in corn. May started at 82%c, sold at 82%c and closed at 32%c. The provision market opened rather weak in consequence of the slight drop in wheat at the start, but soon firmed up again when the wheat market gave it the encouragement of advancing prices. In the end, compared with_yesterday's closing prices, pork shows no change, lard is 2%c higher and ribs b higher for January and 2ic for May.

While almonds, filberts and Brazil nuts have shown an_easier ‘tendency of late, says the New York Journal of Commerce, walnuts have been maintained In strong position, and the indica- tions not only fuvor a firm market during the remainder of the holiday period, but prices dur- ing the coming year are expected to be sustained at a point fully abreast, it not above, present selling limits. France and Italy are the chief sources of supply in Europe, and in both of these countries the crops this vear were considerably below the average, and the result has been that short supplies have already develpoed and cables advise advancing markets for the unsold portion that remains, The average crop of the favorite Grenoble section in France is placed at about 00 bales, but owing to the unfavorable weather the’past season the yeild did not exceed 5,00 or 6,000 bales, and of this quantity the greater portion has been marketed, the latest information received ndvising the available stock to be only 200 bales, for which extreme prices are demanded. The crop of “‘French,” influenced by the & unfavorable weather ‘conditions, also developed a heavy shortage, estimates of quantity gathered being placed to not exceed 5 per cent of an average, The crop of Naples this season also showed a heavy deficiency, and in anticip tion of a scarcity speculative operations have been ventured upon abroad, and the remaining stock there brougat under close control for the purpose of realizing higher prices as the season advances and the requirements of consumers be- come urgent. This class of stock stands next to noble {n the estimation of our importers, as the goods are of uniform quality and can be car- ried for any rensonable time without fear of de- preciation, The Importations this season have aggregated 7,981 cases and 1,565 bbis., the greater portion of which quantity has already been mar- Keted. The remaining stock is under excellent control, " the holders confidently anticipating a materiil rise when the spring opens and a sound, sweet nut is desired. ‘The California crop the past season has been placed at about 250 cars, or a quantity say equivalent to 3,750,000 Ibs. The weather on the Pacific coast during the growing season was wet and unfavorable and the quality of the crop In consequence fell far below ex- pectations, with the result that when deliveries upon_contract were tendered in many instances the goods were rejected upon the ground that they could not be classed as good merchantable, a considerable quantity being dark in color, with some indications of mould. Disappointed, though not_discouraged, the growers in California pr pose making a strong bid for the walnut trade, and hope by preseverance to eventually place upon the market a class of stock that will rank with the best. Los Angeles county 18 the section devoted to the nut of commerce, and there the best_endeavors are being put foith to cultivate an article that will command the attention and appreciation of consumers. The walnuts to this time have been carefully prepared and graded as to size, and had weather condiitons been fa- vorable the past senson the fruit would have Dbeen placed upon the market and criticism in- vited. Most of the large growers there are in and working under the rules of an association, hich has for its object the improvement in quality of goods produced and protection to mem- astrous competition. The workings association have indeed proved a benefit , and even better results are counted upon for the future, In a word, the walnut maj ket is today In excellent shape, with the indi- cations pointing to well sustained, 18 not higher, values as the %eason progresses.

STOUKS AND BUNDS, Speculation In Securities Was Dull and Un- Interesting Yesterday. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—8peculation on the 8tock exchange today was dull and unin- teresting, and the volume of business show a heavy decrease from that of the past few ys. The effect of the circular issued Drexel, Morgan & Co. to the Erle bond- holders was favorable to the stock, inas- much as it disproved the truth of the ru- mors that the firm had abandoned the re- organization altogether, whereas it merely proposed to lay it aside temporarily In the ope of better times. An advance of 1 per cent was made In the stock, which was maintained to the close. The improvement was materially aided by good buying for the London account. The market opened gener- ally firm and a fraction higher, except for Bugar and Distilling, which lost_% per cent and % per cent respectively, Sugar, how ever, although much less active than' usual, quickly rallied 11 per cent. A raid on the stock brought about a reaction c 1 per cent. Most of the other shares dealt in were also weak, and the tendency of prices was downward until near noon. After mid- day trading became quieter, but the tone of the market was firmer, clo&ing in the main at an advance on the final figures of yester- day. Consolidated Gas and Erle advanced 1 per cent, General Electric and the gran- gers from 14 to % per cent, the latter in St. >aul and_ Northwestern, There were o fow declines on the day, including Cotton Oil, % per cent; Cotton Ol preferred, 1 per cent, and Denver & Rio Grande preferred % per cent. Sugar fluctuated within a limit of 1% per cent. At the close the speculation was active and in good tone. The dealings in the bond market in the early session were generally at lower figures, but after midday there was a general rife in touch with the improvement on the share specula- tion. The amount of business transacted was fair, aggregating $1,150 60, with a pretty fair distribution of the total. The Kvening Post’s London cable says: Today's settlement disclosed a reduced spec- ulative account, Americans were 2 per cent lower and the undertone was generally steady. Americans were flat, and especially Norfolk, which was offered at 19 on re- celvership rumors. Ixcept In mines busi- ness now tends to subside, as usual at the end of the year.
