%@1sc Provisions show slight changes both
ways.
The opening in wheat was at a slight improve
ment yesterdays closing prices July start
ing at 75h@75Lc an advance OF hQkc. II was
evident from the amount OF wheat offered at the
opening that the liquidation OF the past few days
was not yet over. but reports of excessive rains
in the Northwest brought enough support to hold
prices for a moment. The weakness of Liverpool.
however gave grounds for belief that the Rus
sian drought reports were exaggerated and re-
ported rains in the Odessa district strengthened
this theory The result was a short period OF
decided weakness. in which the July price touched
74Isc. This was the low point Of the day. Private
cablegrams confirmed the seriousness Of the Rus
sian crop situation and this proved one OF the
most important factors. As the liquidation
dropped of a general inclination developed TO
play for rally and though short periods OF de-
preston Of frequent occurrence. notably
when St. Louis weakened receipts Of new
Texas wheat, grading No. 2, yet the market as
whole was hrm to the close, the small declines

eighty nine cars. five of contract grade. Atlantic
port clearances amounted TO $50. 600 bushels State
crop reports were unfavorable as rule, this
being especially true in regard to the condition
of winter wheat. Cash demand was slow. The

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Dec. 23.-The first transac-
tons on the Stock Exchange to-day dis
closed how much of yesterdays weakness
must be attributed TO selling for short
account. The rush to cover short con-
tracts carried prices up without regard to
fractions in the specialties, which had
been the market of attack. Sugar, Metal,
Tobacco Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Peo-
pies Gas jumped from 91s to points on
opening sales
The same buoyant tendency was shown
in the interna tional listed railroad stock.
London had lifted these sharply before the
opening here, but they bounded above the
London parity to level from l to 2 points
above last nights close here. The urg-
ency of the demand from the bears con-
stituted a miniature panic. Their short
| selling yesterday was based on an assump-
ton that the periodical settlement in the
mines department of the London Stock
Exchange, which began to-day, would dis
close so weak position there that panic
would be likely to result. on the contrary,
the earliest news from London showed
| that the settlement in London was pro-
| ceeding easily and in an orderly manner
| sentiment there being much encouraged by
the shipments of gold from New York
| Rumors of financial entanglements and
| forced liquidation pursued prominent fig
ure in the financial world all day yester-
day To-day, on the contrary, it was af-
| frmed that $4,000 600 in government bonds
| had been placed as additional security for
| This man of wealth and that his difficult
| lies were ended. The professional traders
accepted the one rumor with the same
| credence as they had the other. and put
! in a lively two hours trying to buy stocks
| TO save themselves from loss Interpreta-
| lions of the bank statement were decided
w confused, and the market ran off on
realizing. II did not get back TO the top,
| but hardened again materially and closed
strong. The cash increase shown by the
| statement of s., 1872, 500 came as a surprise,
| in view of the gold shipments and the
| drain to Boston. II is an evidence of the
/ hidden resources brought out in such a
crisis as that Of the past week. The con-
| viction is practically universal that the
/ completion OF the prepare lions for the an
nual settlements will mark the passing Of
| the crisis. Sentiment is not so unanimous
| as 10 whether such preparation is yet COM
pleted.
Bonds have suffered in sympathy with
stocks but declines have not been so vio-
