The Chicago Market

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Covering by
shorts to even up an oversold market
which had been brought about by a
weakness following an early Bearish
market today infiurried a sharp re-
covery in all grains today. May wheat
closed y cents up. May corn A@%
higher and May oats 1ac advanced
Provisions closed 10622hc higher.
Wheat had very weak opening
Gables were lower much more so than
ives expected in consideration of the
decline here Saturday. The one re-
deeming feature for the bulls was the
smallness of the worlds shipments to
Europe. May opened Il to pc lower at
Sts to S07k and at once sold down to
$685. on. The early selling was heavy
and everything offered at the low
decrease was reported in the Venezue-
lean supply and the clearances ap-
peared of considerable proportions
shorts began to cover in such a man
ner that it seemed apparent that the
market had been over sold. There was
also some rumor that a considerable
short line was being covered for F. H.
Peavey. the elevator magnate who
died here today. This covering, which
began only half an hour before the
close soon sent May to S2A. Small
profit taking brought a slight reaction
and May closed strong q up to S2h.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and
flour equaled $50. 000 bushels. The sea-
board reported 95 loads taken for ex-
port
Corn played a following game with
wheat most of the day. Gables We're
lower and May had a weak opening.
Most of the early selling aside from the
wheat sympathy was influenced by

also by some disappointment over the
meagreness of details in the annual re-
port regarding the methods of financing

the cables. Some of the heaviness was
due to the expectation of heavier re-
ceipts and to the impression that the
demand from feeders was abating as
a result of the milder weather. The
cash situation was rather tame. The
accumulation of large short lines on
the weakness, as in wheat, led to the
late recovery May sold up well after
the early decline and closed firm AQas
cents higher at 6612.
Oats opened lower with other grains
and ruled dull throughout the day.
The range was narrow. Commission
houses and elevators were sellers at
the start. Later a good deal was re-
instated after the advance was pretty
well under way. May sold up to 45&
and closed firm 1ac up, at 451a.
Provisions opened firm on light re-
ceipts and better prices at the yards.
The early offerings also were limited
and Influenced better prices. The early
grain weakness influenced some profit
taking but on the late strength in cer-
eals provisions advanced again. May
pork closed 221a cents up at 17.471a
May lard 12lac higher at 1920 and May
ribs 10 cents higher at S9215.

New York. Dec. SO.-Today's stock
market was largely matter of money
supply. The symptoms were induoit-
able that these were scarce. the call
loan rate running up at one time to II
per cent The general rate for renew
ais was 10 per cent. There were
number of other depressing factors
which reinforced this motive for sell
ing stocks, and the consequence was
general declining tendency of prices
during the morning.
Later in the day the money rate be-
came easier under offerings by bank
ers. amongst whom ]. P. Morgan &
Co. We're conspicuous. A very urgent
demand developed for Reading, which
caused a remarkable advance of 4
points in that stock at a new high
record price at each step of the ad-
vance The dimensions of the trading
in the stock were such as to show that
only the largest financial interests
could conduct it: The individual blocks
taken ran all the way from 1000 to 5000
shares.
The general market steadied under
the influence of this striking move
ment, but was singularly unresponsive
even in those stocks most nearly al
lied in interest to Reading, with the
exception of New Jersey. which made
an advance of SIS on light transactions.
When Reading yielded to realizing, the
general market, which had been held
only steady, gave way again suddenly
and dropped to the lowest, the indus
trials and Pacifics leading. The closing
was active and easy.
Many rumors circulated to account
for the strength of Reading. 1t was

forts supposed TO be making to that
end by great banking interests.
The urgent demand for money disap-
pointed expectations aroused by the
unexpected increase shown by the bank
statement on Saturday i'm banking
circles and the large gain by the banks
indicated by todays return of sub
treasury opera tiOns, resulting from the
payment on Saturday for the redemp-
tion of a block of 81 500 900 of govern
ment bonds
Today more than half a million dol
lars additional was paid out for re-
uemptlOn OF government bonds. Later
in the day it was explained that pay

bonds, the proceeds of which are to be
used for the retirement of Northern

that one check of S34. 900 900 had passed
