The majority of rail- roads reporting to-day gross earnings for the third week in December showed decreases comn- pared with last night, and this was an Influ- ence in the early decline, especially in St. Paul. That system, Louisville and a number of important Southern systems and smalier raiiroads reported decreased earnings. The showing was ignored apparently because of the very high level of earnings in the third week of December last year, which were some 11 per cent over those of the preceding year and were notably hea in the Southwestern region.

Sentiment, e et T B, in that direction by the report of damage-to winter wheat in the Southwest. Lack of sno protection, it wad strted, had worked harm to the_tender roots. A large demand Wheat and Other Grains. WHEAT—The foreign markets were steady but dull, as usual during the holidays. Cables from Rosarlo reduced the already low Argen- tine estimates still lower to an estimated ex- portable surplus of 16,000,000 or 17,000,000 bushels. Bradstreet's weekly estimate of sup- plies was as follows: East of the Rockies, an increase of 400,000 bushels; Europe and afloat, a decrease of 1,000,000; total decrease, 600,000 bushels. Chicago rose from 82c to S3%c and fell back to §2%c. At the opening tne demand was good, but it was freely met. The buying was better than the selling, however. Snow’s bul- letin on the growing winter crop was rather bullish, as it reported the plant small, with a poor root growth, due to the dry fall and lack of snow protection during the recent low tem- perature. The millers took about 300,000, bush- els. The break in prices was due to the real- izing on fears of the Government report to be issued shortly. There was a tip, however, that the report would make a crop of 50,000,000 bushels, or. 50,000,000 under the estimates of private’ statisticlans. . Stocks at Minneapolis and_Duluth increased 00,000 bushels for the week and Minneapolis reported the car famine in North Dakota distressing, the elevators be- ing brimful of wheat. St. Louis reported feed- ing to stock larger than had been anticipated. ‘The Cincinnati Price Current reported that the late freeze was apparently harmless and the situation was favorable. Chicago reported that foreigners had been buying for several days and that the farmers were holding back their Wheat. This market showed no change on the spot. Futures were higher at the opening, but sub- sequently fell back in sympathy with Chicago. pot clt-—-Sh]lpnlnx. g; 05@1 06%; mill- per ctl. ing $1 07%% B ) CALL BOARD SALES.
