THE OIL AND STOCK EXCHANGE
STRONG DEMAND CONTINUES
THOUGH SALES ARE SMALLER
Fault Was With Sellers Who Went Be-
vond Brokers Linits-Manhattan and
Victor Are Active.

The strong demand for oil stocks did not
abate at Yesterdays session of the eX-
change The sales were not so numerous
as on the days preceding, but the fault
was With the sellers, who stlffened too
much for the limits Of the brokers. The
bidders In several instances were unaccom-
modated even when the asking price at
the previous call was offered.
Manhattan continued with increased ac-
tivity ana at higher prices. The stock sold
easily at asla ana holders at the close held
out to SOC. Victor SHE'D into the ring as
a new favorite and was the biggest seller
of the session at 14IRc. Grace was offered
at 4i5 on the day before, but takers could
not touch 1t at that figure. gain Of Lac
occurred on this stock. one-fourth cent
more would have been paid for Buffalo and
one deal occurred at a still higher figure.
Anglo American was popular with small
change In Offers and Beatty seemed in
larger favor. Palestine and Beaumont con.
tuued an upward move and sold at a frac-
uonal Increase, National Oil and Pipe
was unsuccessfully bid for at 4Sa4ec. Hg-
gins had a soc better offer and the balance
Of the list made little change
The total sales amounted to $3.50 shares.
The prices bid and asked yesterday and
the sales made were as follows:

HEAVY GRAIN LIQUIDATION.
WHEAT LOST MUCH STRENGTH.
A GENERAL SLUMP RESULTED.
The Decline IN Wheat Amounted to
I 1901 lac and Corn Lost IA
to i 3-9c-Oats Depressed.

Chicago. November 12.-IIeavy liquida'
ton in a market desperately heavy with
bearlsh influences brought a general slump
In grains today. December wheat closing
1lS01hc lower. December corn 1A@ sc
down and December oats i4@9sc depressed.
Provisions closed 2l5c to DC down.
In absence Of any definite support the
trade Of the wheat pit resolved itself into
a steady decline. Both Liverpool and
Paris cables were lower and this started
the trade with a decline Of Aakc to %4i2c
for December at I2'sc to f2l2c News
from Argentina told of too heavy rains and
on short covering ana llght commission
house demand early the Indications were
that the business would have an upward
trend. Almost immediately, however, a
stream of wheat began coming out ana
prices gagged rapidly. Primary receipts
were more Ihan double those Of the same
date year ago Clearnnces were small
and Brads,reet reported the worlds yisi-
bile increase 5000 900 bushels Chicago
stocks were considerably increased and the
stream from the Northwest was undated.
Then the commission houses stopped buy
Ing aud turned sellers and the only sup
port came from the pit Itself. quantity
was absorbed TO stop the decline, hut this
came out again later and December sold
down 10 I1hsc, closing weak llsGl1LC lower
at 7l%c. Local receipts were $50 cars,
twenty-siN of contract grade; Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 1850 cars, making a
total for the three points OF 100 against
1881 cars last week and only 705 q year
ago.
Corn was heavy, the Influence Of the gov
eminent report on the crop condition be-
Ing blamed for much Of the weakness.
This report, which showed a condition of
lG.4 TO the acre over S2,00OOOO bushels had
been expected and was DO more beariSh
IN IN itself than had been foreGasted. This
brought decline for December of lk0llc ut
the opening. There was moderate early
support, both local and by commission
houses and prices advanced &c Trade
was dun and on an attempt to unload sew
eral long lines prices saggcd. The decline
in wheat added another straw to weaken
the market and December closed at its
bottom prices, weak 1l4@1%c lower at
16&0l65sc. Receipts were $50 cars.
Oats showed considerable independence

Of other grains though the heavy nqulda-
ton had some influence. Trade was Eood.
the cash situation was strong ana there
was some professional buying. December
opened 1sGAc lower on fair offerings ana
reacted slightly on demand. but gradually
weakened to 3S9sc on pressure In the otncr
pits. Covering brought back the loss, hut
at the close December was easy, l4d9sc
lower at 3s7sc. Receipts were 800 cars.
Provisions were dull and ruled easier
There was a heavy run of hogs win
lower prices. but this influence was mod
ihcd by their light weight. There was
a small demand, both by packers and
shorts January pork closed &c down at

not furnish the article. however. and in
the nature OF Manchester's wants weak
ened unexpectedly on the value OF the
spot But all was not bad in the distant
market and towards the end deliveries of
an unknown crop were considerably nrmer
The weight Of the senward movement con-
flnued to press heavily on the price scale
and the mercury climbed ms on n June day.

vcsled the lever Of value assembled with
flc nghtness Of a feather.
on this side Of the waves the business
was Of moderate volume. Ten points was
the gain at one time. but the clouds Of
doubt thickened and cut this gain ut about
the half way mark. The spot holder tight
ened the strings around his possessions
with the advantage Of a material comp"n-
cation therefor. Exporters preferred that
the Lancashire manufacturer solve his own
problem and sent paltry offerings to Eu-
rcpenn shores.
The cotton market Is in that state OF
expectancy whore every truth colored itera
IS absorbed with the 8yIdity Of the hungry
Traveller who came into company with an
Bpplc pic. The wise ones are busy at
figures but the course Of events proves
there are more things IN earth than are

and in consequence the professional
chooses 10 act by word than deed There
IS no doubt but that the public is inter

English the Greatest Ten Drinkers.

English the Greatest Ten Drinkers.
And whittier 20 the millions OF
pounds of tea which are grown in the
gardens of the east? The answer is
rather surprising. Most people would
say that Russia is the greatest tea
drinking nation of the world and re-
gard the samovar as the palladium.
But it is Great Britain which is SUI
preme Mt the tea table. Even 90 years
ago we consumed on an average five
pounds Of tea apiece every year. Nov
we dispose Of nearly six pounds. No
other country approaches us in this re-
spect, for there is 10 European country
but Holland in Which more than one
pound per head is consumed. After
this it is not surprising to learn that
the colonies surpass their mother coun-
try and that Australia drinks more
than ~ pounds per head of its popula-
ton. 10 put the case in Il nutshell, the
United Kingdom drinks more tea than
all the other European countries and
the United States put togethcr.--L Lon
