DULUTH, Dec. 14.-Tn our market we have
had more activity than on Saturday, but with
lower range OF values. The range OF the
days trading is ''what will the visible be!'
and is the governing factor in regulating
values. Our visible is not fully completed at
this writing, but promises to be large IN
crease, rather more, we think, than public
opinion estimated. Curb feeling was
steady, but inclined to view the
market firm at lower standpoint. Some lit
tie demand existed on the curb and was sup
piled at about curb prices of Saturday after
noon, where large trading took place at from
1sQL3Ec below the noon closing figures The
opening figures marked g. decline OF asc from
Saturdays closing, with May at 9's4c, Whlcn
was the outside point of the morning. sellers
were freely on the market with liberal
offerings which buyers refused to take except
at liberal concessions which were gradually
made, buyers had liberal orders and took the
offerings freely ut the decline. May .sold at
all fractions until it reached 971sc. where 1t
remained very weak for about thirty minutes
under strong efforts to break it 10 e1c, which
were not successful. The markets at this
time appeared well cleared of offerings, and
with renewed buying orders and
better outside markets sellers had
the advantage, which they I'LL
proved and moved values upward again
sharply 975gc, with good demand. The I'M
vi lScHuS uSIC hob Ss
greatly with that expressed in other markets.,
which were quoted weak. At 97asc the market
rested and sold off at S712c again, but tree
demand did not let it long remain wltnout
friends and again it was in liberal demand Ut
9I5sc with holders asking opening prices;
for May. A single sale of January
was reported at 911ac. No. 1 Northern
sold December at S7s4c, and for May at 944c
cash wheat sold at 905sc for No. hard, 671lc
No. l Northern, 741ac for No. 3. Toward t he
close the feeling was steady and firm at 9T5sc
bid, 9734c asked. At the close the feeling
was strong with 9734c bid for May. The af-
ternoon market was somewhat of a surprise
to operators, as they left the noon board with
values strong at 97s4c bid May. But the re-
port of a panicky stock market in New
York gave the short interest a factor
which they were not slow to improve, and
prices went Off at once to 9714c at the OPEN
ing, then to s71s@s714c, but improved
slightly, selling up to 97ssc, closing at that
bid. After change May sold at 971aQ975sc
with holders generally asking 975sc. Stock
