8 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Market in All Departments is Inactive, Partly Due t6 Bad Weather. WHEAT OPENS HIGHER, BUT CLOSES WEAK May Corn and Oats Both Drop, but Hog Receipts Sends jons Somewhat Higher, Decrense | CHICAGO, Dec, 3.—The Board of Trade | was inactive toda i after a_higher opening wheat closed weak, with May_ 9o lower. May corn was %c off, while May oats lost '4c. Proyisions were higher, Jan- uary products belng up from ikzc to lop at_the close. ding In the wheat pit was greatly hampered by the poor condition of the wires, news being meager and hard to ob-| tain. ' On_(his account traders were in- clined to hold off, and as a result the vol. ume of business was small. A feature of | trading was the narrowing of the Decem- ber-May spread, the opening was strong | on higher cablés, decreased receipts and | the unfavorable weather. Recelpis were 800d, with buyers early, but when the aemand from that source had siackened | thefe was no other support to the market | and a decline followed. A sudden ad- vance in December helped the May deliv- | ery, but heavy realizing toward the end | of the seswion caused a weak close. May | opened K@% to RG'ge higher at Bl @IH%C, #old down to TH%c, advancing again to 76ige, | but declined to i54e, closing 8¢ lower xlll TGN, Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 213,40 bushels. Primary re- celpts were 213,200 bushe.s, against U520 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis reported receipts of 50 cars, against 21 cars a year al receipts were 71 cars, with 1§ rade. Corn_ruled dull, but p early on decreascd recelpts, extremely un- favorable weather throughout the entire | corn belt, and strong cables. A good cash | demand was also & sustaining influence. There was considerable realizing at the | advance, as well as a falr amount of short | #elling, and under these conditions the market weakened. The late decline in wheat was also a bear factor. May closed 8@l lower at 43tc, after selling between | 4digc and 4s%c. Local receipts were 171 cars, with 5 of contract grade Oats were quiet, and about the only fea- ture was fair selling by commission houses The market lacked the firmness which had prevalled the last few days and the ten- dency was toward a_lower level. May closed %c lower at 82%c, after ranging between %% and 32%c. Local receipts were 126 cars. Btrength prevailed In provieions, influ- enced by a decrease In hog recelpts und | higher prices at the yards. local traders iavored the buying side, but the offerings were light. There was no feature to the | trading and the close was strong, with uary pork up 17%c at $I6w; January | Jard closed 15c higher at $9.62', while ribs showed a gain of be, closing at $8.20.

Prices Rise and Fall in Perplexing Manner in All Markets NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Prices were both above and below last night's level in to- day’s market. The trading, which has been strictly pro- fessionul for several days, was in the hands of the smaller class of traders and their operations showed increasing hesitation and uncertainty, There were occasional at- tempts on the part of speculative pools to put up prices, but any considerable advance met realizing sales of a sufficlent volume to check the rise. The pressure to sell showed prompt relaxation at the lower level of “prices, where supporting orders were also encountered, The resuit was a constant shifting of the course of prices within a narrow range. There were no special features to the trading, although the recent speculative favorites maintained thelr prominence. There were the local tractions, St. Paul, Loulsville, the Pacifics and New York Central and several of the coalers. The movement in these was pretty consistent, the whole group moving upward or downward whenever any one stock took the inlative. An advance In the price of refined sugar falled to differentiate sugar from the general movement in the list Renewed weakness in the silver market and a reaction in the London copper mar- ket from yesterday's sharp advance were reflected In American Smeiting and Amal- gamated Copper. The chief repressive in- fluence on the speculation was the tighten- Ing course of the money market. There was no money offering on call at less than 7 per cent at the opening. The rate subse- quently declined as low as 6 per cent dur- ing the active period of the day and to be- low that before the close. Time money was distinctly firmer, ¢ per cent being quoted for all periods up to six months, with a commission demanded for the shorter periods, which made the rate preva- lent to 7 per cent. New York institutions were entirely out of the market for mer- cantile paper, and even the prime grades brought 6 per cent. An additional engage- ment of $50,000 in gold for South America was announced, making the total shipment today $1,000,000." This operation amounts to a diversion of the demand from South America upon the Bank of England for gold from that institution to New York. Dis- counts in London consequently eased today. Steriing exchange here held steady, but ad- vanced in Parls, so that exports’ of gold across the Atlantic are not feasible. The troasury continues to draw upon the New York money market, the loss since Friday on_that account having reached $3,466,000. There was deposited at the subtreasury today $200,000 for transfer to New Orleans. Chicago exchange, however, remains at par. The trading element showed its disap- intment that the president's message had alled to stimulate speculation, and with the additional discouragement of the high money rate, there was a progressive de- crease in the activity of the markets, Bonds were dull _and irregular. Total sales, par value $1,700,000. Unfted States bonds were all unchanged on the last call The_following are the closing prices on the New York Stock exchange: .. 82% Bo.

LONDON, Dec. 3—Notwithstanding the repayment of a large amount due to the Bank of England, rates for money were easier today and supplies were more abun- dant, owing to the release of the money paid’ out by the International Mercantile Marine company and government disburse- ments, Disbursements on the Stock ex- change were fairly satisfactory, though occasionally hesitating and quiet. Consols were firmer. Americans opened weak and mostly below parity., The movements e irregular_and trifiing and business closed quict. Kaffirs were fairly supported. For- elgners were firm. Gold _premiums are quoted as follow: Buenos Ayres, 127.40; Madrid, 35.65; Lisbon, 24.50. The sum of £50,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England today for shipment to Egypt. The renewed fall in the price of silver is at- tributed to eastern felegrams announcing the weakness of prices and to American selling.

Long' cotton came out freely and selling for short account was also an actlve feature This was in the face of cables, which, ,on the opening ad- vices, ‘were expected to make an advance of & points in our market. But it was al- leged that there had been a leakage as to the government's report of the cotton crop; this report caused heavy selling and the day's transactions were exceptionally large. At the weakest Interval the decline was matter of 18 to 24 points: this was after the announcement of the bureau crop estimate of 10,417,000 bales. It was argued from this that the commerelal crop could not be less than 10,700,000 bales. The immediate effect of the report was a break of 5@6 points within five minutes after its announcement. Then the market rallied quite sharply. It appeared from the incoming reports from the spot markets of the country that they were not responsive to the speculative de- cline, On the apprehension that the market had been oversold there was an active cov- ering movement, and commission houses Were also heavy buyers. The market ral- lled sharply and closed steady, with the net loss reduced to 7@l1l points.

Tot 6,151 CATTLE—There was a fair run of cattle reported this morning, but the trains were very late in arriving and In fact at noon there were not more than half the cattle in that were reported on the way. As a result there were hardly enough on sale in the morning to make a market, but pac ers all seemed to have liberal orders, so that the sales that were made looked fully steady with yesterday. There were only a few cars of cornfed steers on the morning market and none that were very good. The kind that were of- fered sold about steady with yesterday and the general impression was that good cat- tle would have commanded stronger prices. The cow market was a littie uneven this morning, for while some salesmen thought they were getting stronger prices others thought the market no more than steady. Trading, though, was quite active, 8o thai the cows changed hands about as fast as {hey arrived. ‘The demand was general for the better grades as well as for canners. Common cornfeds were of course neglected, the same as has been the case for some time past, Bully, veal calyes and stags all sold in Just about yesterday's notches. There were very few stockers and feeders on sale and, although the weather was not of the kind to make the demand from the Country active, the better grades of feeders 5old fully steady. Common truck, though, Was not wanted at any price. Western beef steers were very scarce this morning and in fact there were not enough %o tell much about the condition of the market. The few salcs that were made, however, looked about steady with yester: day. Range cows held fully steady with Veaterday and desirable grades of stockers ana feeders. coula ba quoted steady, with Common stuff very slow.

He says that the act of March 3, 1899 (30 Stat., 1095), provides that homesteaders within the Black Hills forest reservation, South Dakota, who made settlement prior to Sep- tember 19, 1898, who cannot embrace their improvements by entries according to the usual subdivisions (of which the smallest is forty acres), may secure a “‘metes and bounds” survey for that purpose, under certain regulations. “If such a settler deems that he has rights under the act that cannot be s cured to him without a ‘metes and bounds' survey, there {8 no way under the law for him to obtalm consideration of them other than through an application to this office. “By the act of April 5, 1902 (32 Stat., 108), the time within which homesteadors within the reserve may file their claims in the local land offices s extended to April 5, 1904. There thus remains only about sixteen months. Much time s needed in the usual routine of survey and platting before the triplicate plats, neces- sarily antecedent to entry, can be filed in the local land office. Settlers desiring ‘metes and bounds' surveys of their home- steads should therefore present their ap- at once, If they have not already o0st e cstets 89 tacans s i in 20 L0308 52 67 82 92 80 43 = k] MARKET.
