tory banks, has increased the averages of
the clearing house institutions no less than

Is connected with the same transaction,
but 1t has swelled the total loan item to
$eJ',725,0oo. which is by far the largest ever
carried by the New York banks. The ef-
| fects of the transaction by the Union Pa
citic to the new purchasers may be traced
in the expansion of the loan item of the
banks during the past five weeks. On No

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE speculative
trade in wheat was light, but the feeling
continued nervous. The December clique
was thought to have picked out most of
the offerings. enough possibly to replace
the amount sold yesterday at a much
higher price, to check the advance which
had been started on the action Of the
shorts. The movement of wheat which is
under way for this market tended to re-
lieve to some extent the apprehension Of
the shorts and there was less urgency in
the demand from that interest 1t was
currently reported that wheat was coming
In good volume from Minneapolis and that

was on the way to Buffalo and had been
stopped by teiegraphic orders and turned
back to Chicago where the price was to
net the owners cents per bushel more
profit. 1t Is known that large amounts
of wheat elsewhere are only waiting for
the price here to reach a figure which will
warrant putting 1t on the cars for Chicago
and the bears hope to see it come in such
flood as to seriously embarrass the clique
to take care of 1t. 1t was the belief that
such would be the case that so encouraged
the short selling. Joe Letter Is credited
with the statement that however much
wheat the clique might get it would all be
promptly shipped. but the bears looked
upon this as bluff. In December very lit
tie was done. Dut any oHer 10 sell depreSS ed
