ALL KINDS OF GRAINS INCREASE IN PRICE Whent Heads Rise, but Corn and Oats | Fellow Close Behin fons, Thongh Weak, Also Respond. and Pro- CHICAGO, Dee. 2.—Trading in both grains and provisions was rather quiet on | the Board of Trade today, but a better tone was manifested, May wheat closing e kigher, with corn up %c and oats ‘4@%¢ better. January provisions were unchanged to_a shade higher, There was general selling early in wheat due to reports that the leading long oper- ator had disposed of his entire holdings. Later a good demand sprung up on Brad- street's report showing an increase of only 1,120,000 bushels ir the world's stocks for the week, compared with an Increase the corresponding week of last year of 6,220,000 bushels, Seaboard clearances of about 1,500,000 bushels of wheat and flour were also bull factors. There was some liquidation on the advance, but the close was stror and near the top figures of the da M opened o shade to e lower at Wi@ise #0ld oft to 76%c and then advanced grad: ually to 8¢, closing %e higher at T5%@: Primary recelpts were 1,328,000 bushels, com- | ared with 1,490,000 bushels a year ago. len!lvhlll and Duluth report receipts of 1017 cars, which, with local receipts of 86 cars—only 2 of contract grade—made total receipts for the three points of 1,108 cars, against 1,418 cars last week and 1,120 a year ago. %orn was strong throughout the entire sesulon, higher cables, unfavorable weather present and prospective, and a good cash as well as export demand combining to create a bullish tendency. Shorts were the best buyers and covered freely. The close wus strong, with May up %e at &3%@i3%c, after selling between 42%c and 43%c. Local Teceipts were 302 cars, with but § of con- tract grade. Oats_were fairly active and firm, with a good demand for May. There was consid- crable changing from December to May. Unfavorable weather, light receipts and the strength In wheat were the chief bull in- fliences. May closed %@%c higher at 32%c, after ranging beiween iyc and &2%c. Local Tecelpts were 181 cars. Provisions raled weak, notwithstandin the small stocks of contract product, whicl were as light as had been anticipated. The liberal receipts of hogs with lower prices at the yards and prospects of a still further fncrease in the receipts on account of the exposition, were the weakening factors. The close was steady, January pork being unchanged at $15.82%, while lard and ribs were each a shade higher at $0.47% and $.15 respectively. stimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 180 cars; oats, 125 cars; hogs, \ ] ey | 63tal Go%| 63 AT A8 4Tl 42%48%@'% 2% @ 3131%@%| 31G% aflzu[l g A 174 158 (1570 (15 5ol 15 823 49 |15 M*,‘ 1485 |15 @i 14 95 9 1010 (10 021 t 0 4Ths| 9 47l 880 ‘ash quotations were as follows: Market steady; winter patents, $3.10¢23.20; clears, §2. peclals, $4. 20; §. straights, ' §2. 20, $2.5¢2.75.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The notable early strength In today's stock market was aj parently due to a resumption of activity on the part of some of the really passive spec- ulative pools. The socalled western con- tingent_was credited with large transac- tions. The operators on the buil side pro- fessed to have advance information of the president’s message. Either their informa- tion or their judgment of its effect was at fault according to the effect of the markel after the publication of the message. The market lacked all power of reslstance to selling movement from that time forward and the seliing pressure gained in force untll near the close, which was dull and heavy. The check to the recent upward course of the speculation on the local tractions had a depressing effect on the general mar- ket. The decline in tractions was due (o a natural desire to take profits, bat also in part to the announcement that a_judiclal decision on the special franchise tax was impending. Another chilling influence w the indication of renewed trouble in the money market, contained in another flurry in the call loan rate to 7 per cent. This was attributed in part to the requitements of paying $15,000,00 subscriptions to new Tllinois Central stock, but the engagement of $500,000 in gold for shipment to South America was of even greater, sentimental effect. This gold goes to pay for wheat bought for account of England, and there fore resembles to some extent the triangu- lar operation by which gold has gone The deposit of 330,000 at the subtreasury for transfer to San Francisco marked the continuance of interfor needs for money. Collections of customs continue to make heavy Inroads upon the New York money market. The published report that some of the leading trust companies are offering special induce- ments was disquieting. The effect of these efforts cost the market all of its early a vances and carrled the level for many rominent stocks from 1 to 2 points below ast night.

Discounts were fairly steady. Operators on the Stock ex- charige were almost idle. Consols improved. Americans opened quiet and mostly a frace tion below parity. They subseqaently hard- ened and closed strong, following New York's lead. Most of the Parisian favor- ites were dull, owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the Parls market. Rlo tintos were in better demand, copper being firm at 5 11-16 on general buying orders, espe- clally for American account. The decline in the price of gold within the last few days has been viewed with considerable satis- faction in financial circles, as It indicates a slackening in the demand from the various quarters of the world, militating against the likblihood of gold exports or a rise in the bank rate. The demand for gold for the continent to take advantage of the situation to strengthen the gold reserves in preparation for the increased demand for money generally expected at the year end Cheaper gold here is also sald to lessen the prospect of gold being drawn to London from the United States.

Three per cent rentes, ¥f 27igc for the account; ex- change on London, 2f 15c for checks. BERLIN, Dec. 2.—Prices were firmer on the bourse'today, owing to more encourag- ing New York and London advices, but the transactions were small.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—COTTON—Market opened steady 'at an advance of 2 points and further advanced @10 points on more active positions, with the improvement gen- erally due to bad weather news from the cotton belt. The market was further as- sisted by the message of the president. Buying was still further stimulated by the assumption that the bureau report and crop estimate might fall as Jow 900,000 bales, although trom thix flgute local expectation ra as high as 10,000, les, with perhaps 10,200,000 bales, the more popular figure looked for. The latter, subject to usual percentages of under-estimating by the government, might be construed as being in line with the crop estimates recently pro- mulgated by the members of the New York Cotton exchange and the Savannah Cotton exchange, the one belng 11,077,000 bales, the other 11,130,000 bales. The entire “bureau’ subject, however, left the cotton trade in a nervous frame of mind, and the forthcom- ing statement from Washington is looked to with much anxiety by all classes of operators. The local market for spot cot- ton advanced 6 points. The nearer posi- tions on the future list continued to at- tract the attention of spot buyers, with some evidence of a large remaining special interest In January, which renewed careful attention to that particular position. The market was finally eteady at an advance of 7@11 points, Total sales estimated at 200, 000 bales. ST.

AT 9662 607 CATTLE—A steady downpour of rain this morning made the cattle in the yards ap- pear in about as bad form as they possibiy could, but still packers took hold in fairly Bcod shape, and the more desirable grades changed hands at what looked to be abont steady prices. There were right close to 2 cars of corn- fed steers on sale and some of them showed considerable quality, but still none of them were what wcula be called finished. Tue market _held just about steady on the kinds that sell froin $.0 up, but the warmed-up kinds were siow sale and a little lower than yesterday. The cow market held just about steady. There was, perhaps, a little unevenness, but as & general thing all Kinds sold in just about the same notches they did yes- terday. A liberal proportion of the re- ceipts consisted of cows, but packers seemed to want all there were in sight, and the market as a whole was In very § factory condition. There was no quotable change in the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags. There were comparatively few stocke and feeders on sale this morning, so th the better grades sold at just about steady prices. There was very little demand from the country yesterday, and the bad weather today also tended to keep buyers at home, 50 that speculators were very slow about buying the commoner grades. “That class of cattle were probably a little lower. The few cars of western beef steers that arrived sold without much trouble at about Steady prices, where the quality was good. Interior grades, though, were slow and a little Tower. * Range cois held just abaut steady, and so also did desirable grad of stockers and feeders. Representative e, BEEF STEERS. av.

The general market could best be described by calling it a shade lower. The bulk of the hogs sold at $6.07 and $6.10 and a few choice loads sold at $6.1214. The heavy packing grades sold from $6 0714 down. Trading was quite active, so that the bulk of the early arrivals was dis- posed of in good season. As usual, though, many trains were late in arriving, so that the market did not come to a close until a late hour. The later sales were as a rule not us good as those made earlier in the day, packers wanted to buy the last hogs around $6. Representative sales No. Av. Sh.
