Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Dec 19.-Wheat ranged over hc
with several ups and downs. and though there
was a slight early hrmness based on exceed
ngly small receipts and scanty offerings, the
dullness made traders tmorous. All hands
seemed indisposed to trade and even the bears
refused to press matters. Early cables were
weak. but not far depressed had been
expected. Cash business small. The rail-
road tieups curtailed receipts, but reports had
it that the cold weather was not hurting Will
ter crops. The early small demand gave way
to some buying and the session was bereft of
any speculative interest May opened a shade
lower to a shade higher at 79% to 7915c, touch
ing 795sc sagged off to 40 Il DT9A c. and closed
STEADY, a shade lower at 79akc.
Corn had much the same experience as wheat
though it was stubborn against a bearlsh
movement. Short receipts here and news from
Kansas that the cold weather necessitated feed
ing corn to stock regardless of price buoye1
opening prices. Proit-taking soon caused a
setback and the market became very dull.
May closed easy nc lower at 66asc.
Oats were quiet. May closed steady Hc

EASTERN MARKETS.
Ne1U York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o.-Amalgamated Copper
almost broke Stock Exchange records for the
erratic character of its fluctuations to-day. So
great was the uncertainty over the action to
be taken by the directors on the dividend and
the consequent effect on the general market
that dalings in others stocks than Amalgamated
Copper were practically suspended The stock
broke several times during the morning, going
down Immediately after the opening to 634s,
which wiped out the sudden gain at the close
yesterday. From that point ii began an ir-
regular recovery, with frequent halts and re-
actions. A story got afoat that the full Ia
per cent dividend was to be declared, to be
paid in scrip for such proportion as was rep
resented by the dividends of subsidiary com
panies which have been tied up by injunction
The outstanding snort interest became 1rlgat-
ened at this rumot and bought to cover. The
stock touched 6915 before the directors had ds-
sembled at the dividend meeting. 1t only
d few minutes after the hour of assembling
when the price slumped to 6415 under a torrent
Of offers. The rebound was to 81 y, and the
stock then tended to equilibrium and closed
with net loss of IS. The action on the divi-
dend had not been announced when the mar
copper was not unexpected and there are pre-
dictions that the level has not yet been reached
to attract large buying orders. The announce
ment Of the cut did not interrupt the upward
course Of Amalgamated Copper which was then
in progress. The undertone of the general
market was firm but there were sharp de
clines in several leading stocks when the cut
in copper was announced ana also when ANAL
gamated Copper commenced It's Wild movement
tained a movement of as much point IN
either direction from last nights close. The
tone Of the coalers was good, and there WIS
some talk Of a coming advance in the price
Of anthracite. There was no apparent uneasi-
ness in the money situation, and the opin-
ion is general that the outward movement Of
gold for the year has come to erd. The
market closed irregular and very dali

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Another cut IN cop
per prices announced to-day by the prin-
cipal concerns and the market was weak ana
unsettled all day. There was no business re-
ported as traders believe the reduction has not
reached its limit The quotation at the close
$13 for Lake Superior, $12 S71a for cleo
trolytic and $12 so for castings. The London
market was also depressed again and made
new low record. Spot was quoted at 449 los:
The London Exchange closed at noon out or
respect for it's chairman. Mr.. Kekew1cn, whose
son committed suicide, but during the morn
ing trading was particularly active. Tin suf-
fered setback both at home and abroad ow-
ing to a lack Of speculative support and un-

the market weak and Ell lower, spot being

the market was unsettled and weak, with spot
quoted at $23 70@23 954 Lead at London was
