After century full of toll and ravages
the Russians had reached the utmost end
Of the old world. the southern extremity
OF the Kamchatka peninsula.
Tall trunks az frs and other trees
which did not grow in kamchatka were
thrown from time to time by the cur

the east side of that country. Large

casionaly from tho east and disappeared

New York. December 14.-Bull oper-
ators are again laying considerable
stress on the sensitiveness OF the stock
market, to good news and a continu-
aIce of the renewed bull campaign, is
confidently predicted in view Of more
favorable conditions abroad, and stead
lily increasing commission house busi-
ness. London purchased Northern Pa
cific on the increase shown in earnings
for the first week in December.
Changes in tie railway list were mixed
at the opening to-day, extending 10 a
q per cent advance in Southern pre-
ferred, while Union Pacific scored a
loss of a similar amount. Previous to
the expiration of the initial half hour
the entire market worked easier under
the leadership of Sugar, which reced-
ed to the opening price after it had en-
joyed an advance of nearly point.
London can not be expected to be
an all important feature, because with
the approach of the Christmas holidays,
English operators will knock off and
take vacation of some considerable
some investment, buying for British
account, and in all probability the low
priced bonds will be infinitely in favor
The Coalers were under control of the
Bull traders and prices advanced to the
extent of ~ in Delaware C Hudson,
and about point in the other mem
bers Of the group. The market hard
ened slightly in sympathy under a
brisk demand, although Consolidated
Gas was an exception and fell below
176. Jersey Central and Delaware &
Hudson reacted sharply and the mar
ket fell away to the lowest. There
was a season of irregularity, followed
by a steadier feeling, as the session
neared the end.

Liverpool was also bftter; and that
market, considering the slump here,
was remarkably strong, opening at
about sd decline and recovering
about all Of that by the time this mar
ket opened The buying which this
news started carried the price up to
91asc.
About II o'clock the market became
exceedingly dull and remained so Tor
the remainder of the session. The lack
of interest, Of course, had its effect on
prices, which slowly sagged. The At
fantic port clear6nces were again very
heavy and equal to 612, 900 bushels in
wheat and -four. The continental mar
kets were heavy, Paris quoting declines
in -four from so centimes to 80 confines
and wheat of from 35 confines for De-
cember to 10 centimeS for March and
May. Antwerp was 25 confines lower
for red winter and 123z centimes lower
for WaIla Walla. The Argentine crop,
according to Beerbohms, is not likely
to be over 100000 quarters (4S,0G9, 0eO
bushels) compared with scant 100000
quarters co, C00,O COO bushels the year
before. AS less than 2,000,0 900 bushels
were shipped from last years crop, 1t
follows that 100000 buhels will be
the limit of the exportable surplus from
this seasons crop. The present heavy
exports from the country are expected
to come to an end in about a week, as
the foreign purchases for forward de
livery will have been filled by tEat time,
according to New York advices. The
traders apparently considered that very
bearish. In the meantime December
bulls were letting that market severely
alone and although it had advanced to
$1.03 during the morning on the pur-
chase of a bare $4,000 bushels, it de-
clined Immediately after the small buy
ing was over. The actual business in
December during the session did not
exceed 100000 bushels. This neglect of
December also had it's effect On May
Shortly before the close it sold as low
as 9014@905sc, and the final price YVES
90%c. December closed at 971ac.
Corn was steady without much activ-
ity in the trading. The early wheat
strength helped the market somewhat
as did the bad weather west. The mar
ket eased off later with wheat. Con-
tract stocks increased 535 coo bushels
May ranged from 1884 to 281k@2S5sc,
and closed a shade lower at 285sc.
Oats were quiet and easy with luctu-
atoms confined to a narrow range. The
trade was practically featureless, sym
pathy with wheat being the most i'm
portant factor. Cash demand was not
so good. Contract stocks decreased
314,000 bushels for the week. May
ranged from 22ss @2215c to 22Ac, and
closed 1sc lower at the latter price.
Provisions were quiet with buying by
Cudahy about the only feature of III
terest. The weeks exports were so per
cent. larger than the same week last
year. The market ruled firm and prices
advanced sharply. At the close May
pork was sc higher at $3.50; May lard
sc higher at s457Hs, and May ribs 21ac
higher at s4.371

mated heretofore. Tuesdays market
opened at small loss for May, and
1ac gain for December. Receipts were
heavy all around, and with cleaning
machines working day and night, the
temper Of the pit was bearish. Some
buying by shorts induced through the
action of the markets abroad, result
ed in a substantial advance, after
which there was a period OF extreme
dullness, Notwithstanding reports of
continued heavy and disastrous storms
in Argentina. After noon heavy sell
ing resulted in 41ac break in Deem
Der, and an 1c loss in May. December
recovered somewhat, while the distant
future showed very little recuperative
power. Immediately before the close
December experienced another break to
s71ac, while May remained practically
unchanged.
