YVES only moderate, May wheat closing $sd
&c higher, corn sc higher and oats 1sc up.
Provisions were easier. closing from 17lac to
2711c down
Lower cables and a bearish government
report caused an easier feeling in wheat
at the opening, and there considerable
short selling early. The small receipts and
a good cash demand brought out general
buying by commission houses. part of which
was reported to be for the leading long.
Offerings were rather limited throughout
the day and strong tone prevailed, the
close being at the high point for December,
with a gain of 1c at 1880. May opened
shade to 1sQ4c lower at 7634Q767sc, and adj
vanced steadily up to 77s4c. The close was
, 3sQ15c higher at 771s6775sc. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 10000 bu.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bu, against
10000 bu a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 5S5 cars. which.
with local receipts of ffty-three cars-six
of contract grade-made a total of 63S cars,
against 779 cars last week and 773 cars a
year ago
Corn was moderately active throughout
the day, the feature being renewed cover
ing by a prominent short, who covered
heavily yesterday. Offerings were not
heavy at any time. and with the good de-
mand strong tone was manifested, al
I though considerable liquidation prevented
any material advance in May, which closed
sc higher at 441k@44ssc. but December
showed gain of &c, closing at 574c. Ca
bles were lower, but the prospects of I'M
favorable weather overcame the bearish
| influence OF the foreign news. Receipts
were PIP cars, with four of contract grade.
There was a fair trade in oats, and after a
| little depression at the start the market
| ruled firm, the strength in being the
main factor Commission houses were good
buyers, and there was but little for sale,
which was partly responsible for the better
| tone to the situation. May closed AQ$sc
| higher at 3312133Ssc, after selling between
S3lsc and 33ss@33aac. Receipts were 100
cars.
Weakness in the hog market caused lower
| prices in provisions at the start, and
/ liquidation by outsiders added to the de-

| and the market lacked any special features.

1t will surprise no true friend and genu-
inc admirer of that great nation to hear
that England is stirred from center to cir
conference by the rumor that $650.000 of
Boer gold Is now secreted somewhere on
the European continent. The memory of
man runneth not back to a time when
England looked with equanimity upon a
could lay claim or hope to segregate. For
less than that-for much less indeed-she
has in times past Overrun small nations
and extirminated helpless governments.
1t is no inconsiderable sum, this $3.50, 900;
and when one reflects that IL belongs to
and is subject TO England's claims by
right of conquest. IL Is easy to enter into
the feelings of that always hungry en-
pire and appraise its itching palm. Just
where this gold is now deposited does not
seem to be quite clear at present. Neither
have we been told exactly how England
proposes to attach IL after having located
the Doodle. The general impression is
that il was shipped 10 some German port
and is now perdu there or thereabouts
But England has been touched in her very
tenderest spot. The knowledge that a
large amount of gold is lying around some
where and that she may possibly concoct
England into frenzy OF the very finest
kind. The proposition that this money
belongs to the Boer government and that
President Kruger proposes to hold il for
the exploitation of the Boer propaganda
constitutes no explanation to which a real
Englishman will listen patiently. 1t is a
question of money-of S6o0.0c0-and what
Briton. worthy of the name. will hesitate
a moment after that? We look forward TO
further developments with the utmost
anxiety, meanwhile keeping cool since il
Is after all, no concern OF ours.

PRIVATE WIRE ADVICES.
Signs of Decentralization Pronounced
All Through the Market.
Meyer & Kiser's Telegram

Meyer & Kiser's telegram
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE indications of
decentralization which made their appear
ances in yesterdays market became more
pronounced to-day. At the opening there
was great pressure to sell on the part of
commission houses, and the support accord
ed to the market was of a very meager de-
scription. This selling was again pro-
nounced in such high-priced stocks at St.
Paul, Pennsylvania and New York Central
and also extended to 3. & o., Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific. Something of rally
took place after the first hour, owing to
covering by traders on the theory that the
decline had gone far enough, and a rally
was in order The slight recovery was
short-lived, as increased liquidation made
Its appearance, and at the same time rates
for money developed upward tendency.
Large sums of money were loaned at s
per cent, and toward the close the quota
ton advanced to per cent. There were
evidences that the banks had been calling
loans freely and that there had been a ma
terial reduction in the supply of bank
money AS a rule the loan market is prac-
tically over by 2:30 p. m, but to-day be-
lated borrowers were taking money right
up to the close. A feature of the market
was the selling of City National Bank stock.
This was persistent and in large volume for
such a security, and ii was rumored that
a loan which was based to a large extent on
this stock as collateral had been liquidated
in the open market.

GGranger Farwell e Co.'s telegram
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE closing rally
was mostly short covering and does not
change the situation. Call money is now
only relief, and it closed at 9 per cent 1t
is stated here that money rates for short
time loans are high all through the West,
which includes borrowing by farmers for
the purpose of buying stock cattle and that
a return flow of funds to this center now is
unlikely. The government has already given
what aid it can, and unless there is some
let-up here in demand for funds, further
stock liquidation to relieve the situat ton will
be necessary. Sentiment is for lower prices
before much recovery is to be had
