CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Wheat was firm
early with Liverpool, but weakened on
liberal receipts and reports of a large
shipment from Duluth TO this port, clos
ing 14Q2sc under yesterday. Corn, IN
fluenced by heavy clearances and inter-
rupion of the movement closed HQAc
higher for December; May unchanged
Oats closed unchanged and provisions 212c
lower.
Wheat failed to hold its own today
The opening, December at 6714q672sc, and
May at 7112Q716sc, was at a gain of 80
Ac over yesterday close. Gables We're
higher and to this early strength was
mainly attributable. Business was most
~ in the hands of professionals, and
changing of December and May contracts,
which made up a large proportion of
trades, was within a range Of 12c, as was
all other business in wheat. With the
opening figures the market fluctuated mar
rOwly for half the session. There it weak
ened and there was considerable liquida
ton of both December and May. A report
that Duluth had boats loaded with $4,000
bu for this port was a factor in the weak
ness
December sold down to 667sc and May to
71011sc December closed K@3sc lower,
at 667sQ67c, and May &c under yesterdays
final figures, at 711sc..
Primary receipts were 749,S49 bu, COM
w
receipts were SOB cars, against 6S1 last
week and 32S a year ago. The Northwest
1898 receipts were curtailed by a blizzard.
Local receipts We're AZ cars, 10 of contract
grade. New York reported % loads taken
for export. Atlantic and Gulf port clear
ances in wheat and flour We're equal to
539, 600 bu.
Corn was steady. Rains continued in
the growing belt and cables were higher,
facts which encouraged purchasers to
take in all offerings al figures a bit over
yesterdays closing prices. Clearances
were enormous, 100000 bu, receipts III
cars here and country offerings were
small. The cash demand was poor. De-
cember ranged from 3234c to 55c, closing
1sQl4c higher, at 3234@327sc May sold
from 3312c to 3334 0337sc and closed un-
changed at 9312c.
Oats held their own, though the trade
was very dull. The strength of corn and
the Curtailing of the movement by wet
weather were influences. The expert de-
mGnd was poor. Clearances were lbs, 600
bu. Receipts here were 1873 cars De-
cember ranged from 231sc to 233sc closing
shade lower at 2318@2314c. May sold
from 2438c to Page and closed 15c under
yesterday, at 243sc.
Provisions were barely steady, the only
incident being the retaking of a line OF
pork, presumably to replace some sold
some weeks ago at higher prices. Initial
prices We're a bit up on the firmness of
grain, particularly corn Fluctuations
were narrow and the close at a loss of
212c on all January products January
pork closed at $3.50; January lard and
ribs, at $50 and $49212d4.95, respectively
Estimates tomorrow: Wheat so cars;
corn, $50; oats, 14O; hogs, $4,000 head.

NEW YORK, Nov 22.-The stock mar
ket drifted rather aimlessly today, under
the influence Of renewed uneaSineSS over
the money situation. A moderate demand
for London account lifted prices at the
opening, and during the course of the
day there were movements in number
of individual stocks. But despite the evil
dences Of this strength trade was dull and
sluggish The dealings were mostly pro-
fessional. The money rate rose to per
cent during the day, and there was re-
newal of the disposition to discriminate
sharply against the industrial stocks as
collateral. The nominal rate of interest
in such cases was eked out by the re-
Quirement of extra commission, and the
margin between the amounts loaned and
the ruling market valuation of the stocks
was increased
The offerings of government bonds for
redemption at the subtreasury fell to In
significant proportions. New York eX-
change was notably weak at a number of
important domestic centers, falling to 2Oc
discount at Chicago, against par yester-
day, and declining sharply at st. Louis
and Cincinnati.
Persons interested in the money out
look are keeping one eye on the foreign
markets. The hardening discounts in
London today may be significant of fu-
ture pressure from that source, though
ly pressing to cause decline in sterling
rates, in spite of the London movement.
The Paris discount rate held firm at 70
per cent above the banks official rate,
giving ground for expectation of an ad-
vance tomorrow in the Bank of France S
rate.
New York banks have gained S., 659, 600
on subtreasury operations since last
Thursday, and today's clearing house
statement showed a debit balance against
the subtreasury of over 100000. These
are reflections of the government bond re-
demptions and give promise Of a good
showing in Saturdays bank statement.
The proceeds of the bonds redemption
have not afforded any great relief to the
speculative forld, and the market is dis
posed to await further developments.
Small net gains are the rule on the day
and a few stocks show notable advances
General Electric gains "a and c., c., c.
& St. L. 25s. Baltimore & Ohio rose over
a point and the coalers showed some
strength. Chicago Terminal stocks, Rio
Grande Western, Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg and one or two others show
gains of from to 315. Minneapolis & ST.
Louis Is 2A lower, and losses of a point
are shown by a number of other incon-
spicuous stocks.
There was realizing in some of the bonds
of speculative grade, but very good alb
sorption at some other points Total
sales, par values. $2,375OOO. United States
Is advanced u, and IS and old and new As
Is in the bid price.
