The well defined movements of the | ¢ay embracing the general market were limited to the upward rush of prices at the o £ 4 pening the sudden relapse at the close. During | Freater part of the day the market wzs cish and irregular Snd traversed jts nar- v/ range of prices a number of times n a totally inconsequent and aubious manner. The | |opening burst of sirength was the natural | momentum of yesterday's late strong recov- | ery, beleted traders rushing to buy, but it soon became manifest that the short interest had | been much reduced by yesterday's hurried cover- ing and there was no strong disposition mani- fested to extend comraitments on the long side, The eccentric course of Amalgamated ppec | threw the market into renewed confusion. | After rising to %ic there was open selling. by | | the brokers whose buying had been a s.rong | influence in yesterday's rally in the stock, as | they are credited with usually acting for in- | side interests in Amalgamated Copver. The | | consequence was that that stock commenced o | | sag again in irregular way until it had | spward with' occasional reactions to a high | level of T4%c, repres:nting a_recovery of over | ten points ‘from Saturday’s low level for the stock. There were some individual points of strength in the general list, notatly in_the Vanderbilts, with Jarge demand for New York Central’and a number of less prominent rail- de and_industrials, including General Flec. iric. Hocking Coal, People’s Gas, Consolidated Gas and International Paper vreferred. The tone of the money market was much better | during the day and there s-emed a sufficfent | supply at 51.@6 per cent, but late in the dav | belated borrowers caused a flurry to 8 per cent | by their urgent efforts to cover their wants, | and_the stock market made an Immediate res- ponse, the whole list dropping sudderly to the lowest of the day on greatly increased deal- ings. Amalgamated Copper fell back to 69% and closed with a net loss of about a point. St. Paul and Manhattan fell rapidly, the for- mer deelining 2%. There was no effectual rally in the market and the closing was heavy at about the lowest. The sterling exchange market contined depressed and there Is not much likelitood of gold exports while money rates told stiff. The action of the Secretary f the Treasury in anticipating January inter- ¢st was announced 100 late to help the market o-day. | ..

CHICAGO, Dee. 10.—Extreme nervousness and wild fluctuations characterized the grain markets here to-day. Wheat ruled the board and in the fight bctween existing facts and the. enthusiasm over uncertain futures was badly pressed for losses. At the very start bearish conditions piled up in_an impusing array. Cables were weak in spite of strong English country markets. The Northwestern receipts, which hihterto have shown a marked tendency to fall off, increased heavily. Weath- er reports on all hands stated that the winter crop was doing well. Both professionals and small fry began to unload their lines and many traders went short. May opened jaggedly, %@ e to 18@1%c iower at 83c to S1%c. ' The frade was enmormous, offerings belng large. But such low prices after yesterday's high level tempted buyers again. Many commis- sion houses put buying orders in the pit os- tensibly from New York and St. Louis. There was a mor current that a combination of capitalists at Louisville were trying to cor- ner wheat and that buying was for them. ‘With a whoop prices started up again, reach. ing 833ic, only to sag again to S2ic.’ It was boosted to 83%c again, but this time the flood of selling orders and the quantity of long wheat that poured into the market was ap- palling, and the weakening slump came. May sold down in quick jumps to 81%, closing weak, 1%c down at S1%@S1%c. 3 Corn was only moderately active and heavy all session. It followed wheat throughout. May closed 1%4c down at 67%c. Oats followed wheat and corn. %c down at 46%c. Provisions opened easy, but before noon everything was above yesterday's prices un- der the influence of commission buying. The close was somewhat easy and irregular, Janu- ary pork closed 1Gc down, lard 23%c up and ribs 23c down. The leading futures ranged as follows: High. May closed Low.

WHEAT FREIGHTS—The charter of the British bark Muskoka at 30s 34 leaves the har- bor wholly bare of disengaged tonnage, and fixes the quotation. The chartered wheat fleet in port has a registered tonnage of 60,714, against 59,900 tons on the same date last yea: disengaged, —— tons, against 9570; on the way to_this port, 194,140 tons, against 117,100.

Bradstreet's gave the world's stocks as follows: East of the Rockies, an in- crease of 5.392.000; Europe and afioat, a de- crease of 2,100,000; net increase, 3,202,000 bush- els. Chicago was unsettled and lower on the day, declining fram 83%c to 81%c, owing to the for- eign cables and heavy receipts in the Northwest. The market was very active and the leaders bought.
