CORN AND PROVISIONS UP
WHEAT AND OATS LOWER ON TAX
ING OF PROFITS.
Trade Generally Dull and Largely in
the Hands of PrOfessionaIS-Hog
Products Very Firm.

CHICAGO, Dec. A.-An inclination to
take profits and Saturday dullness worked
against the cold weather bull factor in
grains to-day, and May wheat closed sc
down, corn sc up and oats Aq3s lower
Provisions closed 5q712c to 121kc higher.
Wheat had a dull, steady market, ruling
firm early, but soon losing the gain.
Weather conditions had a good deal to do
with the speculative temperament, and the
early cables were something of a help. Re-
ceipts were light, and May opened a shade
lower to 14q$sc up at S07sc to SOAc, and
quickly sold up to S07sqS1c. Trade was
not important. and the early demand from
commission houses was about the only
feature. This soon gave way to profit
taking,on the bulge, and the market grad
ually sagged off to 1850, closing weak and
9sc lower at 7934q797sc. Local receipts were
40 cars, none Of contract grade. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported AGA cars a total of
5O4 cars, against 7e4 last week and 527 a
year ago. Primary receipts were $4,000 blu,
against 664,000 bu last year. Seaboard
clearances equaled 10000 blu.
Corn was fairly active and ruled firm the
greater part of the session. The early de-
mand was largely on the part of snorts,
but the outside markets were also fair
buyers The cold weather brought the
early squirt on the fear that heavier feed
ing to stock would be necessary. The cash
movement was slow and the country &C
ceptances free. Professionals took on fair
lines OF long corn at low prices. May
opened 1sq4c to Sale up, advanced to
6S4c, but on profit-taking sold down to
671sc. The close was steady and 1sc higher
at 67HQ67$sc. Receipts were 167 cars.
Oats were moderately active, but ruled
easy after the early bulge. Trade was
small for the commission house account,
and was mostly sales. May opened 1sQ14c
to CSC higher, touched high price at 4614c
and closed weak and 14Q3sc down at 4512c.
Receipts were rs cars.
Provisions were dull but ruled very firm.
The demand was largely for the local ac-
count, and was supplied by packers. May
pork closed 1212c higher at $3.50, lard So
71zc up at $9.S712 and ribs 5Q712c higher at
$50
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,

PRIVATE WIRE ADVICEs.
Market Dull, with Cash Resources
More Ample Than Expected.
Meyer & Kiser's Telegram.l

Meyer q flScI y telegram.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14-During the first
half Of the session the market was eX-
tremely dull and prices were somewhat in
clined to sag After the publication of the
bank statement almost the entire list had
a sharp upward movement, but the advance
was only partially maintained and the mar
ket closed rather quiet and as a rule with
out many material changes from last
nights figures. The surprise OF the state
rnent was the decrease of over 81, 600 600 in
loans 1t was recognized that liquidation
had taken place In the market during the
week but the bulk OF it occurred on Thurs
dav and Friday. and the liquidation OF the
latter dav would not appear until next
week while owing 10 the average system
the Uouidation OF Thursday would only par
tally appear The loss in cash was some
what smaller than had been expected. and
the result OF the weeks transactions was
that the surplus reserve is rather less than
e 100 COO as against over Sc. 800. 900 last year
al This time. Next week IL is believed the
hanks will gain about 3000. 600 owing 10 the
authorization by the treasury OF the interest
navments due on Jan. L The statement
docs not warrant any expectation Of easy
money but on the other hand, speculative
activftv is practically dead, and, conse-
ouentlv the resources OF the banks are
ample to prevent any real stringency.
