NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The Evening

The tone of the stock markets here were
good today, but business was checked by
the commencement Of the settlement. Mon
ey was dearer, the rate being per cent.
Contangoes on Americans averaged per

though business was confined to profess

sas Pacific had been settled. have inter-
viewed many leading houses concerning
the prospects Of Americans. and am i'm
pressed by the unanimity of the fvorable
views held of their prospect in the next
six months or so. At the same time it
should be said that such views are mainly
based on news from New York, such as
the conditions of trade and the aspect of
Wall street, for on this side the public still
abstains from dealing freely.
Grand Trunks are still booming Mines
were distfnctively better, including Ana
condas, which were bought In good quar-
tiers. Argentines were strong. I am told
that the Barring Estate company, formed
three years ago. to take from the Bank of
England certain assets held on behalf of
the old firm of Barring Bros, Is about to
pay off all its debentures. This means the
end of all the Barring estate liquidation on

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The wheat bulls be-
gan to feel today the effect of the prices
which they permitted last week. The in
spection sheets showed that there had been
rush of grain in this direction from every
quarter-as much. probably as 400, 900 bush
els Of contract grain In 48 hours. A little
inquiry showed that the inspection sheet
did not begin to show AL the arrivals.
One elevator had cargoes aggregating $3.50, :
0C0 bushels In the river, not bushel of
which had been inspected. Armour and
Weare had cargoes in, and the carlots
showed jump. The majority of this grain
was to fill short sales made months AFRO.
Some of 1t had evidently been brought,
however. to get the benefit of the Chicago
December price. There was scattered de-
crease In the selling by the elevator peo-
pie against new receipts of this sort. Ar
mour was credited with more Of 1t than
any other interest. The December bulls
sold more or less December in order to
hasten it's decline. There was a remarka-
BILE drop In prices, ITO, but 1t was accom-
panied by no corresponding excitement
and by no great trade. December opened
at $1.05. sold between $1.O5 and 97hc. and
closed at 9914c. The January option was
influenced by the May. as 1t has been ali
along. dropping from CSC to 921k and clos
ing at 9SN. The Letter party did today
what their friends thought they should
have done last week-let down the Decem-
Der. They did not sell much, because the
market would not take much. and because
Armour was selling enough to make the
price weak. but they finally helped to break
tho price. Everybody Is still astonished
that the December bulls permitted any
such price as ruled last week. Today's
receipts clearly showed the result q the
Chicago premiums. Minneapolis advices
were that the Letters had people buying
up there In order to increase the Difficulty
of bringing the Minneapolis grain down
here. The elevator people are still keeping
