They maintain that unless a material ad-
vance previously occurs, the acreage must
be largely reduced. 1t is nonsense TO talk
OF excessive acreage regardless of prices
and no one would entertain such an idea
who had reliable information concerning
the unsatisfactory financial condition of
the planters and the country merchants,
of the unwillinsness of the factors to pro-
ceed TO reckless advances of money, and of
the very conservative attitude of the fer
thzer people. In fact, a considerable re-
auction seems almost assured already.
Any material further decline now appears
decidedly improbable as the market meets
ready investors a every slight concession.
Wheat has been excited, under active
manipulation of December in Chicago.
Little of this option was offered for sale,
ana when nervous shorts tried TO cover,
the price rose by leaps. By Thursday it
mad gained lac. reaching the high point of
SLUG. from which there was a reaction TO
Sl.B on Friday, the final close being 81 .O4l2,
a net advance of 9l2c for the week May
shared only moderately in the excitement
advanced 312c TO 93c, and CLOSED a 9lAc.
Barring the December corner. the wheat
position looks weak, but manipulation may
force prices higher yet. Only it is difficult
TO see how a corner can be successfully
carried through unless the short interest
is much larger than now seems likely. A
very liberal amount of wheat would GER
tainly find its way to Chicago to go on
contracts, and this could be subsequently
disposed of only at a heavy loss. The bull
clique is apt to settle the December deal
any day without being considerate enough
to give an eXpectant public any warning
of such intention. Speculatively, it is now
chiefly a battle between professionals, but
the producer can take advantage OF the
rise to sell all the wheat he can send to
Chicago this month. Lower prices may
be expected as soon as this December deal
is disposed Of William r. Williams

MANCHESTER MARKET,
Business Quiet and Stendy During
tho Past Week.

Manchester, Dec. 12.-The market was
quiet and steady last week, with fair
business passing in shirtings, and wide
cloths for China and in shirtings for In
dia. Such goods are now largely engaged.
Otherwise business was small and scat
tered, most of the offerings being unac-
ceptable. Yarns were relieved by the fact
that the strike has been averted. Eastern
export sales were fair, home users buying
moderately. Prices all round so far have
been fairly held, but activity is discour-
aged by unknown possibilities in the face
of an eleven million crop.
On the whole, the situation is not bad.
The good December export exhibit has
been an agreeable surprise in many quar-
tiers. Reports from Rouen show a large
business done last week, though a low

months contracts; but the prices taken

London, Dec. 12.-Discount rates were

The stock exchange was stronger and

trade dispute settled.
Among the internationals, South and
Central American securities were well
supported. There were substantial in
