Eciision, cunning as a fox in feeling

Chicago Change.

Chicago. Dec. 1s-The holiday dullness was upon the grain markets today. Discus sion of the presidents message to congress was the leading point of interest at the opening. and the result of it was to impart a feeling of firmpess to prices. although sihilty of hostilities between Great Britain and America would benefit or depreciate values The. course of the market later would indicate that the latter was the view of the majority The heavy rains which have been falling in the winter wheat sec- fear being that severe freeze would follow the milder weather, to the danger of the un- protected plant. Heavy local professionals sold moderately, and prices after exhibiting strength at the start became weak and de- clined during the morning, fair rally suc- ceeding, with an insignificant loss from yes- sols declined almost full point today, but the fact was not particularly important in its bearing on wheat May wheat opened at 601s@60Ac, sold between 591s@60c. closing at 59AM59Bc, B4Ac under yesterday. Cash wheat averaged steady.
 Corn-The Venezuelan question played an important part in defining the action of corn prices, as well as those of wheat. It first prompted firmness, but subsequently took place, however, and nothing aside from local interest was evident. The range of prices was limited, with some liquidation by holders when the most pronounced weak ness existed. May corn opened at 2SAc, sold between 2S and 2SAq2Sssc. closing at 2S1sc, unchanged from yesterday, Cash corn was firm to Ac per bushel higher. = .a--.
 Oats-The market rose and fell in sympa- thy with wheat and corn. Commission houses were liberal sellers at one time. An utter lack of confidence was exhibited by holders, the situation giving but little hope of improvement. May oates closed hc- un- der yesterday. Cash oats were unchanged
 Provisions--Until the grain pIarkets lost their nrmness products were quite steady but with the decline in other commodities they weakened and receded from the posi- tion first assumed. The hog market being weak tended to discourage efforts in the di-

Suns Cotton Review.

New York. Dec. 1S.-The Suns Cotton re- Cotton declined to points, recovered most of this and then again declined, clos ing I5 to points lower for the day and steady with sales of IF, 800 bales.
 Tdday's features: In spite of the war talk, a decline in Liverpool, a drop of Ad in British consols. fears of increased gold exports and some long liquidation, the de- cline was not great. At one time there was rally, due to local and southern buying for both sides of the account. The German houses bought to some extent and the Greeks bought March. The Liverpool mar ket was active showing that English spin ners were disposed to buy freely. partly owing to the shortness of the crop. Man chester was firm. The interior receipts were small The arrivals at the ports were con- siderably behind those of last week and cot ton ihas friends who buy it on the breaks. They believe that but for the lethargic con- dition of speculation usual at the holidays prices would advance. The bears increased their line a little. owing to, the Venezuelan trouble, but they were anything but aggres- sive in their operations. Neill Bros. con- firm their previous estimate of 6,5000O bales maximum, and naturally this encourages the bulls. Still for the moment the decline in Liverpool, the dullness of speculation and the fact that majority of board room op- orators were against the market caused a moderate recession here for the day.

In Wall Street.

New York, Dec. 1S.--The feature of the railway and miscellaneous stock market at the opening today was the pressure of long stock for foreign account. The selling for London account was quite pronounced, and it is estimated that fully 10000 shares of Louisville and Nashville Atchison. St. Paul and other stocks with an international mar ket were sold during the first hour of bus mess. Local bear traders were also sellers, and decline of AGA per cent followed. The greatest losses were in Consolidated Gas, Bay State Gas, Baltimore and Ohio, the grangers, Louisville and Nashville, Missou- II, Kansas and Texas. Manhattan and Lake Shore. After the decline at the opening the market drlfted into dulness, and for time speculation was practically at a standstill. In the afternoon the shorts endeavered to cover. but the offerings of stock were light and prices moved up sharply. The recovery in the last hour was equal to A41s per cent. American Tobacco was particularly strong in the late trading and moved up to 741s, against 72A earlier. Chicago Gas was also a firm feature. The market closed firm in tone. Net changes for the day, however, show losses of A92 per cent, the interna- tional shares showing the largest declines. Bonds were weak, sales footing up 1925, 900.
 The sales of listed stocks aggregated 235, 360 shares and of unlisted stocks 119, 333.

MARKETS BY TElEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec 1S.-(Special.l-The war scare continued to unsettle the market to- day. but the depression was inconsiderate and perhaps was rather the result of the extreme dullness than of anything else. The Liverpool report was not encourageing points, March selling on the call at S.31 The trading was mainly docal. and March, after declining to S.29, rallied to S.s4, only to weaken in the latter trading. The close was at s29@S3O for March, with the tone steady. The holiday dullness which seems already to have cast its shadow over the market, may continue to check active trading for while and prices may go a few points lower, but we share the belief that is growing here that the next decided move of the cotton market will be upward.
