CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Boart
Of Trade


CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Wheat opened very
tame but quite firm, about NC higher than
It closed the day before. The Liverpool
market which yesterday refused to be
Influenced by Thursdays advance at Chi
cago, was equally Indifferent today to
yesterdays decline in this market The
English market was a shade higher than
1t closed the day before. Some other items
Of the early news was also helpful to the
firmness the market showed at the opening
and for the greater part of the session. The
weeks clearances Of wheat and flour as
reported by Bradstreet's were consider
ably smaller than they have been run
ming for long time back. The weather
in Argentine was reported more favorable.
Beerbohm estimated the worlds ship
ments for the week to Europe at 5000, 900
bushels and expects a decrease in the
quantity on ocean passage. In addition
to wheat delivered yesterday afternoon
for December contracts, 1850, 600 bushels
were delivered out today by Armour &
Co. and paid for by Allen. Grier & Weller.
1t had already been taken for granted,
however, by the trade that all the wheat
sold the French-Leiter crowd would be
taken care of, as they had the money in
the bank ready to pay on demand. All
the outside markets showed strength.
The market became much firmer in tone
for the day then. Shorts covered quite
freely and as offerings were moderate
prices moved up easily. May closed at
921h. December closed half cent lower than
yesterday at SO.
Corn was dull early but became stronger
later. May closed one-eighth to one
quarter of q cent higher
Oats were dull, Closing with gain of
one-quarter of a cent.

THE WHEAT DEAL
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Despite predictions
that this would be a day full Of surprises
on the board Of trade the bull clique,
headed by Jos. Letter, had smooth sailing
apparently and seemed to have proved
itself capable of doing what 1t promised.
1t took the 100000 or more bushels of
wheat delivered to 1t yesterday and today
the deliveries amounted to 1885, 900 bushels
more.
But the price held firm. The promised
storm today was predicted because Ar
mour had begun unloading some Of his
enormous holdings yesterday. It was
feared there would be tremendous rush
today to dump am the wheat in Chicago
into the lap Of the syndicate, but the re-
suit proved this prophecy wrong.
The journal says: with the 100000
bushels delivered today the Letter crowd
have 100000 bushels Of wheat In their
possession, acquired this week. How much
more the syndicate has bought long Ii not
known, but 1t may be as much as 5000 900
or 5000 900 bushelg. The market. however,
il probably only 100000 or 100000 at the
outside.
'.As December draws to 4 close It gyows
more and more probable the Letter Clique
meant what It satd when It announced
that It wanted the wheat and was not n

NEW 1OttlNy Lee. h-Inc weekly Dank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, So, 161t375.
Loans, decrease, $l,046,o0O
Specie, increase, $3S7y1C0.
Legal tenders. decrease, H,S68,1n0
Deposits, decrease. $5,g7SOCM
Circulation, decrease, $1031 100
The banks now hold s15,f26050 in excess
of the requirements of the % per cent rule.
The Financier says: A decrease Of S.
iSA3'5 in the surplus reserve of the New
York banks following a reduction Of equal
ly as large an amount for the previous
week. brings the excess cash in the banks
to s15,726pSD or very nearly to the point
reached at the height of the outward
movement during the crop season. In view
OF this fact the sharp advance in money
rates. noted early last week, may be ex-
pected to continue for some time. although
the upwalM tendency has been regarded
heretofore as a temporary incident. The
changes in the statement for the week are
so intimately connectd with the payment
of $S,5O0,0C0 in the sub-treasury by the
Union Pacific committee that the totals do
not require detailed attention. The Ma
tional City bank. which has been promi-
nent in financing this operation loses over
$1.GD.0O in deposits. Its cash reserve has
also decreased something like $6D0QDO0 and
its shrinkage in loans Is more than the
total noted in the average Of all the banks
The other banks, aside from this one in
stitution, therefore appear to have gained
both In deposits and cash and their loans
are slightly higher. The bank statements
for the next few succeeding weeks should
be unusually interesting and important as
two additional payments of over s, COO coo
are to be made to the sub-treasury before
Jan. and the treasury on the other hand
will begin on Dec. "a the disbursement of
the principal of maturing Pacific bonds
which will release, when the operation is
completed something like $s0Mp,O1a
Whether this money. which may be slow
in entering the active market, and the
rather heavy deficiencies which the gov
eminent will probably incur over the jan
uary disbursements, will make I'D for the
contractions due to payments into the
treasury on Pacific settlements is the kew
to the immediate future OF the money
market. If interest rates continue ia
harden and exchange weakens as was the
case last week, some interestin, develop.
ments may be expected. There can be
no profit in sterling exchange investments
under these circumstances and the treas
ury reports showing an increasing bal
ance in our favor, rates for money abroad
will have to be maintained very firmly to
prevent losses of specie to this side. Ship.
ments to the south and the natural shift.
ing of funds as the January dividends be.
come due are points in favor Of continued
hard money OF course these conditions
are as yet but vaguely defined and may
be quickly changed. But on the whole
they are important enough to bear in mind
during the next few weeks.
