CHICAGO. Dec 2s.-wheat was a shade
easier at the opening because Of decline Of

a bearish character in the news trade had be-
fore the opening and the market in conse-
Quenoe ruled firm during the forenoon with
fractions of at starting price The opening
in May was from "a to s41sc, compared with
yesterdays close OF 94Ac. The spell Of weak
pess at the opening soon carried the price
down to sSHc. when the strength which de-
veloped in oats affected wheat and the mar
ket recovered in a short time to s4isgs4Ac'
and kept close to those fractions all morn
ing. Trading was exceedingly narrow. Traders
who favored the bear side had learned a les
son from the buzz saw tendency developed
yesterday and kept away, and in the absence
of any important buying demand the market
was almost stagnant ct times. The total ad-
dition for the day to contract stocks in regu-
lar elevators was estimated at $4,000 bushels
The Atlantic port clearances OF wheat and
flour were 54s, 900 bushels. This helped sustain
prices. The estimate OF the Argentine e1-
portable surplus circulated yesterday, making
II Sc 0o0 coo bushels, was generally accepted to-
day All the other estimates from reliable
and usually well-informed sources make Ar
gentinas export capacity for the next twelve
months somewhere between q, 0O0 600 bushels
and 80, 100000 bushels. The market began to
weaken in the afternoon when closing cables
indicating rather easier foreign markets were
received. The bearishness that started con-
tinued to increase the session neared Its

The market for oats was again q large and

firm tone to a marked degree. and 1t was only
in exceptional cases that loans were below 3is

show that their bank reserves at present
unusually high, but exchange continues to run

however that Philadelphia and Boston had re-
paid large loans the result of high rates

amount Of rainfall Of melted snow in inches
and hundredths during the past twelve hours.
Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal
air pressure; isotherms, dotted lines equal
temperature. The wind high" means high
barometic pressure and is usually accompanied
with fair weather: low refers to low pres
sure and Is usually preceded and accompanied
by cloudy weather and rains Lows usually
first appear on the Washington coast. When
the pressure is high in the interior and low
along the coast, and the isobars extend north
and south along the coast, rain Is proba ble
but when the low" is inclosed with isobars Of
marked curvature, rain south Of Oregon is i'm
probable. With a high in the vicinity OF
Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali
Iornla coast warmer weather may be expected
IN summer and colder weather in winter. The
reverse of these conditions will produce an
opposite result.

THE SITUATION AT LARGE.
PROSPECTS THAT 1898 WILL BE A ]
nErEa VI, A I,EI n 1927

PROSPECTS THAT 1898 WILL BE A BET
TER YEAR THAN 1897.
The circular of Henry Clews. under date Of
New York. December a. says: The situation
contains some very important elements favor
ing speculation for hghter prices. The salts
factory aspects of general business are well
maintained. According to the reports from
trade circles and from the manufacturing CEN
tiers. there is good reason for expecting that
the commercial recovery of 1887 will be more
the, aanaIed IN 1905 AdI-ices from the aEri-
cultural States indicate the prospect of a more
active business than has been realized for
many years, and suggest a probability Of the
liquidation OF an important amount OF farm
mortgages, with the effect Of creating a de-
mand from the mortgages for other securities
70 take their place. The iron trade which is
accepted as the best barometer Of the condition
OF business at large, continues its remarkable
increase of activity. The best evidence OF the
magnitude Of the current increase in this in
dustry Is afforded by the fact that the lake
shipments Of iron ore for 1897 amount to H.
200 900 gross TONS against g. 800 900 in 1886, show
ing a gain during the twelve months Of $780,
900 TONS nearly 30 per cent; and yet there
is probability OF still larger movement IN
1898. Our exports of steel rails and railroad
equipments and also of electrical plants are
assuming very extraordinary dimensions; and
there are indications Of an increase in the
home construction of railroads, TO say nothing
OF the undertaking Of lonS-deferred repairs and
improvements and purchases Of rolling stock.
The continued fall in prices has made it posi-
Bile 10 export a variety of articles for which
we have hitherto been unable to find foreign
outlet; and this. with other conditions, fore
shadows the full maintenance of the increase
IN exports Of manufactures which has been
steadily gaining for the last two or three years
The value Of this lies not merely in our gain
ing new sources Of trade. but equally in the
relief which is afforded to our congested home
ma rIxets and the consequent better opportunity
for the realization of industrial profits. It is
not easy to overestimate the Importance Of this
growth in our export trade. The total foreign
shipments Of merchandise for the last eleven
months exceed those OF the same period Of 1896
by 5000, 600. and Of 1885 by s242. 800, 900
