To-Day was comparatively active and the tone
feverish. The slump in prices yesterday
afternoon, on the news of the decision of the
senate committee on foreign relations to re-
port fayorably to that body Senator Cam
eron's Cuban resolution led the financial cora
muaity TO expect a decidedly unfavorab.e
sympathetic effect on foreign securities in
general and American stocks and bonds in
London in particular. Accordingly, consid-
cradle nervousness was felt previous to the
opening, regarding the probable course Of to-
days market. Cabled advices of temperate
higher prices for American securities In
London. extending to rs per cent in the
active internationally listed stocks, changed
the speculative temper at opening. Covering
was begun on an extensive scale, resulting
IN sharp gains over last nights final prices
vance, and the internationally arbitrage firms
were also reported In the market. The i'm
proyements scored ranged from / to 2lb per
cent in the principal shares. After the initial
dealings realizing and a bear drive cau-ed
re2cuons The advance in the general mar
Ket was soon resumed and the best prices of
the DAY were reached in many instances.
Around II o'clock the market quieted down
and fractional concessions were again made
on realizing, q decrease of IS coo 600 in the
loans OF the associated banks from last
weeks hgures, exerting some unfavorable in
nuence. The market closed irregular at gem

Last Hour by the Pronounced
Weakness cf Oats.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Wheat today managed
to recover &c of yesterdays decline on
dull market. The steadiness displayed by
foreign markets and another batch Of Argel-
tine crop damage reports were the principal
factors in the advance. Corn and oats were
heavy and declined sc and Ac respectively
Provisions made a small advance. In wheat
the bearish feeling, which has been so prorni-
nent the past week, was less in evidence at
the opening. Liverpco, quotations were IN
changed and that in itself was influential in
creating a better feeling, coming as they did
after a 7sc decline here yesterday. Liver
pool also sent reports On the wheat crop in
various provinces of Argentina, showing
serious condition CT affairs in some instances.
Opening quotations for May wefe from $3.50
S0Ac, compared with yesterdays closing
price of 7912c. The price took dip to 79S4c
soon after the opening. on the throwing over
of a lot of long wheat, but the market had
too much statistical support to break badly
from such a cause, and as soon as the press
ure was removed prices went up again.
The receipts at both the Northwest points
and in Chicago were SMALL Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 376 cars and Chicago So
total of 412, compared with Cos on the same
day last week, and S27 on the corresponding
day of the year before. The official figures
on the South Wales wheat crop showed a
shortage of 1,250000 bu, of home require
ments. The seaboard reported a good in
quiry for export. One dispatch from New
York said it was known there that a good
steady business was being done in Chicago
wheat all rail shipment, via Boston. Millers
took 30e0e bu here The visible supply is
not expected to show over 80, 0G0 bu decrease
on Monday, and some look for a small in
crease. The pronounced weakness Of oats
made its influence felt shortly before the
close. Realizing also INDUCED in to a
moderate extent and May, which, in the
meantime, had crept up to S012c, broke to
1880. That was the price at the close.
Corn was very quiet, with trading chiefly
among scalpers. May opened shade higher
at 259sc, sold at 25as@251ac, then eased off to
251sQ25Ac, where it closed. Oats started
rather firm, in common with the other grain
markets, but later fell off decidedly. Liberal
receipts and a heavy estimate for Monday
were good material for the raiding crowd to
work with, and they pressed their advantage.
May opened a shade higher at 20@p201sc de-
clned to 1880 and closed weak at 1890. The
feeling in the provision pit was not pro-
nounced in either direction for an hour or
so, but became firm toward the end, and
closed quite firm at slight advances all
around. May pork closed sc higher at $7.921a
May lard, 21kc higher at $4.O21A@4O5; May
ribs about unchanged at $4.021a. Estimates:
Wheat, 4S cars; corn, 300 cars; oats, 405 cars;
hogs 40,0C0 head.
