but the unweared efforts OF the merchant

Another prominent local banker takes quite
different view of the Presidents attitude

the matter is almost entirely left alone in the
Presidents message this banker says politics is

BROKERS VIEWS ON THE

CHICAGO. Dec. s.-The days experience in
wheat was a continuation of the nervousness
and the irregularity of yesterdays market. The
chief bull interest was even more OF a factor
to-day, supporting tho market on the morning
break. and being conspicuous on the buying side
throughout the session. The crowd were looking
for lower prices taking their position in the
absence of influential bull news from the con-
tinued indifference abroad and the large re-
ceipts in the Northwest compared with a year
ago, and liberal arrivals at Kansas City and st.
Louis. There some selling the weakness
in Minneapolis, where the cash market was &c
lower. Milwaukee reports -four sales yesterday
and to-day much better Weather in the South
west continues clear with moisture
An increase in country selling, a weak cash
market and no demand. either domestic or for
export. to take care of a more liberal movement
was reflected in the future prices. The Deem
Der was particularly weak. The crowd were
bearish and the country sold against purchases.
The bull interest in wheat gave support the
break and was the most conspicuous buyer. The
increase In country movement is through Illinois.
Our Peoria and Terre Haute houses bought 100. =
600 bu yesterday and buying freely to-day.
The local cash market Is &c to 1c bu lower
for poor qualities and about steady for best
grades. The seaboard, in the absence of export
demand. refused to buy the new corn, excepting
on seaboard inspection, fearing the condition.
We do not look for any improvement in the fu-
lures until the cash situation becomes more
healthy.
Oats-The market was quiet. with q very lin

LL,ith the Grain Brokers;
Present Market Conditions

Beginning tomorrow there will be a general
cut Of 1 cent per 100 pounds all grain ship
ments to the seaboard. This will reduce the
tariff on corn shipments from u to 9-16 cent per
bushels. Last week the exporters increased their
bids on corn in the local market about cent.
which, with the reduction of 1 cent per 100
pounds the freight tariff tomorrow, will put
the price OF corn at the seaboard back to nearly
what 1t was when the fiat 2-cent increase on the
freight tariff was made, little more than a
week ago. The increase the first OF December
tended to cut down the receipts of corn at the

about the usual clearance finally made on
that basis IL was finally admitted that the
good cattle in their class had sold at fully steady

stronger. Common to pretty decent stock sold
no better in any case. and the tendency to dis

A. W. Thomson received the following from
Wall street yesterday afternoon: Among the
numerous reasons that are advanced for the up
ward movement in the stock market one is that
an unfavorable decision is expected in the
Northern Securities case, soon TO be argued be-
fore the Supreme Court, and that stocks were
being marked up so that the decline expected TO
follow the announcement OF the decision would
not carry prices as low If the announcement
were made with stocks selling at a much lower
lever. one nav In this theory seems to be that
although the case may soon be argued 1t does
not follow that the decision will rapidly follow
the arguments.
For the first time since the rise began there
has been decided increase in the business done
by the regular commission houses who did not
represent ciques but where orders come almost
wholly from the public. This buying is especially
noticeable In the acti-'e railroad stocks such as
Atchison. Union Pacific. B. & O.. Missouri Pa
cine and Transatlantic the rise in the latter be-
ing materially assisted by the covering of shorts.
In fact In the entire list, the retreat Of the
bears was hurried and without regard to prices.

The market to-day showed reactionary tend
ency due to heavy realizing by the pools and by
traders who have been accommodating stocks dur
ing the past ten days. The declines. however.
were only moderate compared with the steady
advance the market has had. In market Of this
kind there is always more or less public follow
ing which, If not checked, eventually creates a
weak situation. The bull leaders in this move
ment do not intend that this will be the case.
preferring a gradually improving market to a
runaway one. We believe the situation has been
bettered by the realizing to-day and strongly
advise the purchase of good railroad stocks on
any further reaction.-A r. Thompson & Co.
