EFFORTS TO BREAK MAY WHEAT ARE FUTILE
Offered Down to 81s4c in Round Lots,
It Fails to Go Thru, and
Rallies.
The Worlds Visible Decreases by
100000 Bu. Southwestern Re-
ceipts Heavier.
Foreign Markets Generally Higher
Clearances, Wheat and Flour,
$4,000 Bushels.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Dec.
:2.-Wheat had to stand against some
pretty hard knocks to-day. and 1t was a
wonder to many that the market did not
break very seriously. There was to begin
with a lack of outside enthusiasm no very
large buying orders to start with, and a
scattering of news items of the more ;or
less Indifferent sort. A good many had
wheat to sell in small lots and this sort
of selling wore away prices little. chi
cago and other markets dipping also Min
neapolis May reached sec and was weak,
and at the first dip under see Harding Of
fered it down to S1Ac This disturbed the
pit not little and for moment it looked
as tho a big break was imminent. but
there was support from somewhere. for
altho the offerings of May in 100 lots and
less were close to 100000 bu in a short
time, the market would not go under
S1%c, and was back up to SIC a little later.
Receipts in the southwest were large
enough to make a little bearishness, Kan
sas City getting 397. 900 rbu against 2SS, 000
and ST. Louis $4,000 against $4,000. A
cable from Rosarri reported better wealth
er, and Buenos Aires cabled that for the
- hours up to Monday morning, the skies
over the wheat districts. were clear. the
wind light, and no rain indicated. Paris
made a &c jump in December wheat. Ber-
lin was &c up, Antwerp unchanged. L1v-
erpoo cabled that the tone there was
easier IN line WITH yesterday $ Dfeak IN
American markets. and the close Hd lower
but that little firmness came in as an
offset by reason of better milling demand,
and a frmer feeling in Argentine and Aus
tralian wheat offerings. - ....
Primary receipts We're 1.077000 bu
against $4,000 and shipments 335, 900.
against $4,000. Wheat and flour clear
ances 1890 bu.
Rradstreets figures showed decrease: Of
100000 bu in the worlds visible. Of which
100000 bu was east of the rockies. and 200,-
600 bu in Europe and af1Oat.
A little local trade was done in Septem-
Der wheat around 761sc. -
There-were light SHOWS in North Dakota
and light rain and snow in Ohio, but no
other precipitation. Temperatures are a
little higher in the northwest and lower
west and southwest. In the extreme north
and northwest . it is fair to clear. The
northwest is generally clear and from 2
below to 80 above. the west and south
west part cloudy. The Ohio valley gen
orally clear. Conditions continue favor
able for the movement of grain.
Minneapolis received 32S cars against
2S9, Duluth SO against 80, and Chicago 1874
against 96.
The early selling of Woodworth's pit
representative mad no effect upon the
market. and the close was above the point
at which the big lots were sold, or S17ac
for May. 1t is believed by the many in
trade that the short interest here is now
larger than ever. "
December closed at 1890, May al S1Bc
and July at s11ac.
New York sold 1S loads for export.

STOCK MARKET TOPICS
A DISTRIBUTING, NOT AN AccUMULATING
MARKET 49,

R1dgeley of New York says: This is a distriD
utlng rather than an saccumuiating market The
INSIDERS nave solu heavily Tor some weeks.
Why should they want to Duy now The plan
Is to work up prices without having to take any
more stock than necessary, meanwhile feeding
out to investors even at recesslons. 1t showed
this in Union Pacific, but after the feeding out
is assimiiared by people VINO will not liquidate
a new nlgn NOTCH How high! Well, that
depends on how much stock is offered to manIp-
lators.
II investors do not sell as the market ad-
yances, 1t Is said Union Pacific will reach 80,

no attempt to distribute any st. PAUL, New
