The Chicago Market

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Strength in the coarse
grains helped all markets today. Decem-
Der wheat closed nc higher, December
corn 1c. UP and December oats lh az
vanced. Provisions closed 2la to T71ac.
higher.
Trading in the corn pit was the heaviest
in a week, Notwithstanding it was Satur-
day. Continued rains IN the west retard-
ed the crop movement, cables were some
what improved and offerings We're light
in the extreme Added to this, several
prominent professionals began to bull
this cereal. December opened 1sqAc;
around was good, both for samples and
options. St. Louis, Peoria and Kansas
City were all buyers of futures, and New
England placed orders here-the first for
a long time. These bullish influences
forced a good many shorts to cover, and
December advanced .ste2d Oily to a strong
close, cent higher, at 6lla.
Wheat trading was a dull and narrow
affair. December opened shade to Is
QAc. higher at 721sQ72i4 on better cables
than had been expected but fiuctuated
between these prices until just before the
close. Receipts were lio raj, particularly
in the northwest. Late reports stated
that the rains in the southwest had not
brought relief from the drought. But
clearances were light, and the probability
of large worlds shipments to be reported
Monday steadied the market. December
closed firm, Il higher, at 72AqS: sea
board clearances in wheat and Hour
equalled 256, coo bushels.
Bullish activity developed early in the
oats pit. The cash demand was very
strong, and spectators could secure none
until prices went up one cent. The bulge
in corn also helped the situation, as did
also the strength of outside markets. De-
cember opened unchanged at Al cents, and
1t looked as though there was none to be
had. Good trading by commission people
and general covering by shorts indicated
a market much oversold. December
quickly advanced, and closed strong,
11zc. higher, at 4212.
Provisions were dull, with an early
easier feeling, which, however, was dis
sipated soon by a fair demand by shorts
and the grain bulges. January pork
closed 171ac. higher at 1915, January lard
21zc up at $50 and January ribs Tee.
higher at 7.S712
The leading futures closed as follows;
Wheat-November, p; December, 72AQ

MANIPULATIVE
DEVICES USED
By Both the Bulls and Bears and
the Result Was a Feverish and
Excited Market at Yesterdays
Short Session
NOTABLE ACCUMULATION
OF N. Y. CENTRAL STOCKS
Norfolk & Western and the
Southern Railway Stocks Were
Also Largely Dealt in and
Prices Lifted Materially Anal
qamated Copper Touched SO

New York, Nov 23.-Speculative ac-
tivity was very great in today's short
session of the Stock Exchange and
manipulative devices were freely used
both by the bulls and the bears. The
consequence. was a feverish and ex-
cited market. There was a notable ac-
emulation of New York Central, Nor
folk & Western and the Southern Rail
way stocks on individual transactions
in these running from 1000 to $500
shares.
New York Central was lifted an ex-
IRENE ~; Norfolk & Western IL and
Southern Railway preferred rs. There
was a disposition to take profits in
some of the recent favorites which had
an unsettling influence upon the mar
ket from the outset The Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg stocks and
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste
Marie preferred rose 2hQ6A.
Amalgamated Copper was weak
throughout. with the exception of a
slight fractional gain at the opening.
In the late dealings the stock slumped
to SO, which is a fraction below the
lowest price every previously touched.
The assertion was published in the
street that papers against the Amalg-
amated Copper are being prepared in
the attorney generals office at Wash
ington. The report effected a break of
3la points in sugar as well. This weak
ness took the edge off the rally on the
strong bank statement and made the
closing very irregular. Renewed selling
developed at the last in the trans Con-
tinental stocks also.
The cash reserves of the banks in
creased about as foreshadowed and
the heavy loan contraction of s13, 504 400
confirmed the belief that the gold ex-
ports of the week went to lfquidate
foreign loans. 1t is asserted that the
break in exchange is partly due to re-
newed selling by bankers in the pro-
cess of extending foreign loans still
maturing. which amounts to the crea-
ton of a fresh supply of short ac-
counts in exchange, to be covered at
later maturities.
