COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Depression Took Possession Of Wheat 0per-
ators Early.
THAT CEREAL BECAME PANlCK
This WAS the Echo of Dcmornlizn-
ton In American Securities
on the English
Markets.

CHICAGO. Dec. 20.-Depression took pos
session of wheat operators at the opening
of the session and pripped them so tight
that there was no escape during the entire
session. Compared with last night. wheat
closed from sc to 1c lower, corn &c
lower, oats lc and provisions from lOc TO
12hc lower.
Wheat opened weak and finally became
panicky, selling Off before noon lISc from
the close last night, and there was no ma
terial reaction. The disastrous panic In
stocks set the pace for wheat. for out
side OF that the new was not much worse
than yesterday. Northwestern receipts
were the smallest for some time and while
the rain had filled the ground with mois-
ture there was some danger of a cold wave,
which could hardly fail to injure II more or
less. But the conditions abroad were such as
to thoroughly demorallZe the market. There
English Stock exchanges. where nearly
everything American was being pressed for
York stock market. Cold shipments were
eXpecte1 to Increase, c1nfids nee was speedily
eliminated. and wheat commenced to fol
low stocks. Longs made haste to liquidate,
so that before noon the price had dropped
1Mc from, the close yesterday. Even the
anxious to take il, as the conditions seemed
TO warrant the expectation OF getting more.
s 60 the bic hoT llnss 6elRS af Sy T pr'v sasy w ana hrapia:
were thrown upon the market, and country
commission houses had heavy selling orders.
New York was an aggressive seller from
the start. and KEEP 1t up with Wig or. 1t Is
usually said that the Wall street men let
go almost their entire line of long wheat.
May sold early at from 5Skc to
5SBc, being quite unsettled, but sold
quickly to 5SAc. up to 5Sisc on
buying by Armour, who is said
to have taken over 1000. 900 bu., then off to
STAG, and at noon was 57Rc. There was
some reaction during the last hour, and
May sold to 57Tsc, but off by l o'clock
TO 57lsc, closing at from 571sc to 5sc.
Corn was heavy, influenced, chiefly by
the slump in wheat. The bad financial con:
came out. The continuous rains In the
country and prospective continuous falling
off in receipts served in a measure to check
the weakness. May sold from 2Sc to 27ac.
The market held quiet during the last hour,
and closed at 277sc.
Oats were heavy. but without any very
serious break. May sod at 1890 to. from
19c to 1870. There was a steady feeling
during the final hour, with May at from
1910 to f9c, where 1t closed.
Provisions started weak on account of the
heaviness in grain and railroad stocks.
Those features continuing throughout the
session prevented any but a very limited
change In feeling. The reactions from the
bottom prices of the day were weak, and
the-ciose showed the following losses: Pork.
12iRc: lard from &c to 7lac. and ribs 7lSc.
Estimated receipts for Tomorrow: Wheat,
40 cars; corn, 24O cars; oats, lag cars; hogs.

CATTLE-The receipts of cattle were not
large, but they were plenty large enough
to supply the demand. 1t is usually the
case during the first half of December that
there is a good demand for such cattle as
are suitable for the holiday trade. When
the holiday trade is satisfied there is not
much of a demand left and the market is
generally dull from that time until the
close OF the year. This year does not APP
pear to be any exception to the rule.
Only a few fat steers were offered on the
market today. but the buyers, were not only
very Indifferent. but their bids were gener-
ally lower. Summed up in a few words, it
was a dull, draggy market. with values
steady to lower.
The market on cows and heifers was also
unsatisfactory from a sellers point of view.
The sooner shippers come to realize that
the high prices which prevailed during the
early part, Of the week are q thing Of the
appear to be satisfied with the big break in
prices on Wednesday and Thursday, but
they started out this morning with the APP
parent determination to take off another
dime. The trade was slow. the buyers
pounding the market. and in the end they
bought the stuff about their own way.
Stockers and feeders were not in very
large supply and prices did not show much
change. Representative sales:

NEW YORK. Dec. 2,-Bradstreets will say:
Tho general business situation has been affected
by the precipitation Of possible complications
with Great Britain. The first to feel this Will
be The prices OF cotton and wheat. The serious
nature of the statements OF the presidents mes
sage had the effect here and in London OF caus-
ing free selling Of securities. even in spite OF the
fact that the expectation Of war Is slight. The
most unfavorable features Of the situation are
continued negotiations and the uncertainty which
must exist. Total exports OF wheat flour in
oluded as wheat from both coasts Of the United
States this week amount to 2.05G, 900 bushels.
compared with 2, ass. 01 bushels last week. 3.55i,-

ago. 2,60j, 900 bushels in the same week two
years ago. and as contrasted with i.2i7. 900 BUSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 2,-Bradstreet's review OF

has been the occasion OF a disturbance in stock
market values. London sold freely. its stock
offerings amounting TO about 10000 shares.
There has also been liquidation on a large scale
by holders Of stocks here. while the declines
forced out a great many stop loss orders and
weakly marglned accounts. The indisposition to
purchase Was no less marked than the selling
pressure. though II should also be noted that the
