COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Business in the Wheat Pit Was Dull Late
in the Day,
BULLS AND BEARS HELD OFF EARLY
Corn WAS In Good Demand for Jnnu-
ary and ~ Fair Amount Was
Traded i'm for the
Month.

CHICAGO. Dec 6-Business In the wheat
Dit was duh during the greater part of the
forenoon, but active In the afternoon, with
prices moving up In a lively way. COM
pared with yesterdays final quotations De
cember is lac higher and May sc nigh r.
The spread between the two months Is
thus seen TO have narrowed &c. The Ar
nour elevator people, who were dissatis-
fed with ilic carrying charges between De-
cember and May were the best buyers OF
December IN the pit today, and their ac-
ton prevented the execution of a good deal
of shipping business in spring wheat.
There was no enticement in the early
news for either bulls of bears in the wheat
market 1t was all about the complexion
of what the traders call "stand-off,' and
that is about what they did with regard
TO the market the most of the forenoon'
they stood away from its near neighbor-
hood except for short periods at well dis-
tributed Intervals. The opening was strong
and little higher than yesterdays clos
ing price, but the bulls soon lost that ad-
vantage. and the bears got even when the
price dipped to as much under the previous
days final quotations as 1t had gone above
them during the opening rattle of the trad
ing. The action on May wheat, up to the
last hour was: opened at from 6l1sc to 6lhc,
sold off to 6Oa.c rallied to 6lisc, and held
dropped ed to 564sc and nd hrmed to 55Ssc bid;
Wheat had a further advance the last half
weeks. Elevator people were called buyers
of December on large scale. 1t was
claimed Armour. was getting back his own
receipts by bidding within 3Ac of May for
them. This sort of business may have pre-
vented cash sales of December. On the
late abroad market December went to
5siAc. May went to 6l7sc, closing at the
top.
Only a, fair business was doing in oats,
yet nrmer feeling was noted Prices
closed &c and Ac higher and the market
was quite active. May opened at 20isc, sold
at 20hc. and closed at the latter price bid,
an advance of bc since yesterday.
Corn was in good demand for January
and fair amount was traded in for that
month. May appeared to follow the course
of wheat over about 3-1Gc range. The trade
as O whole was narrow and chiefly local
May ranged from 2S5sc bid to 29lsc and
closed at 29c January opened at 26lRc, sold
down to 26ikc. and closed at 2Gtsc
More activity marked the provision trade
Brokers reported remarkably good buying
of pork for May around 49, This was the
low and closing price, with a little bulge
to S905 at one time. Lard closed 21ac off
at S5O3h: January S557R. May ribs closed
at $i.25 for January; unchanged for May,
Hog receipts were 1900 head.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat

NEW YORK, Dec 6.-Three Industrial stocks

SHIPMENTS.

CATTl,E-With only sixty loads OF catle
in the yards there was no opportunity Tor
any great, amount of activity, and business
as n. whole was rather slim. Fat steers
suitable for the. dressed beef trade were
very scarce and there were really not
enough offered for sale to make n good fair
test OF the market. Such cattle, as were
here sold at pretty nearly steady prices,
though the tendency was rather on the side
of a weak market Some big, heavy natives
brought $3.50.
There were twenty TO twenty-five loads
of cows on sale, but the market from n
sellers standpoint was mean" The buyers
complained that COW stuff has been selling
too high here compared with other mar
kets and some of them asserted that they
would buy their cows lower or they would
leave them alone. With the buyers feeling
that way the market could hardly be other
wise than slow and weak. The trade
dragged all the morning and 1t was late
before a clearance was effected. The gen
eral market on cows and heifers could
safely be quoted 10c lower.
Stockers and feeders We're In light supply
and the offerings consisted principally of
odds and ends load or two in place.
The market though weak did not show any
material change in prices. The demand
though not large about equal to the
meager offerings Representative sales:
