International stocks were dull on Bir Edmund J. Monson's speech in Paris last night. Americans were distinctly good and the rofessional bulls were confident. Norfolk and Vestern was the feature at the close, rising over a dollar in the street. Copper shares were weaker. With regard to for to-morrow's the market's expectations Bank of England statement, it may be noticed that the net amount of gold exported during the week ending to-day was £551,000, the de. tails containing £657,000 sold in bar gold and £6000 in French coin purchased. It is be- | lieved that the amount of money lent to Eu- rope by New York is now very large. CLOSING.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—Wheat opened weak at a decline of Xc for May and December, the former starting at 65%@65%c and the latter at 64%@645c. Liverpool was the factor. That market reported declines that were entirely unlooked for by local traders, prices being %@ 14 oft at about the time business commenced here. There was a little buying against puts immediately after the opening which caused a temporary reaction in May, but selling soon The feature of the morning’s trading was the liquidation in December. which was much more | general than yesterday and which resulted in a widening of the discount from 1@1%e under May. Commission houses were active sellers. It Is expected that after the close of naviga- tion, now at hand, December deliveries will be freer and this undoubtedly influenced the traders. About 11 o'clock the market became steadier on reports of heavy clearances and a good cash and export demand and prices slowly recovered. Late in the session the market was really strong, advances in coarse grains help. Shorts covered quite freely and liquida- tion of December stopped. May closed 65%c and December 64}4@64%c. Corn was relatively much stronger than wheat. The market opened lower, but soon re- covered and late in the day was very firm, Leading bulls were good buyers. May closed W@%e lower at e, ats were weak early in sympathy with corn, but remained firm when corn advanced. Prom- inent bulls who were liquidating yesterday were buyers to-day. May galned % @¥c. ‘onsidering the heavy hog receipts, provisions were remarkably steady. There was some weakness at first, but good general buying caused prices to advance, and the market was well supported for most of the session. Under the weight of the hog receipts, however, prices declined sharply. At the close May pork was 7%c lower, May lard a shade lower and May ribs 2%c lower, The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— Open. High. Low.

BOSTON, Dec. 7.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool market: The sales of the past week indicate the vol- ume of business in progress iz fuily up to the average of this market in normal periods. An encouraging feature is that it is not made up of a few large purchases by the prominent mills, The buying has become more geneal and the smaller markets have been more of & factor, and the business of the week has been more evenly distributed. This being the closing month of the year, when manufacturers and others will be busily occupled in taking account of stock, the vol- ume of business in progress is fully up to ex- ectations. 1f the heavywelght season starts n well, a greater demand for wool is looked for, which it Is expected will at least keep the market steady at current. The sales of the week in Boston amount to 2,806,000 pounds domestic and 731,900 pounds for- elgn, making a total of 3,357,000, against a total of 3,349,500 for the previous week, and a total of 2.660,000 for the week last year. Sales since January 1, 1838, amount to 125,490,- 510 pounds, against 353,334,600 pounds last year at this time. LONDON WOOL SALES.
