NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-The advance
in prices of stocks wavered, then came
to a halt and finally turned backwards
again. There was some natural releaS-
ing on yesterdays considerable rise
which served partly to account for the
reduction. There was besides fur-
ther advance in the rates for call money
and less confidence as a result in the
value of assistance offered by the treas
ury department to carry the money
market through the demands OF the
January settlements.
With the reaction in the market there
was some shrinkage in the rate or ac-
tivity from that of yesterday.
The liberal offering of funds yeSter-
day was to some extent result OF the
expected increase in resources betore
they were in hand. This disposition on
the part of the active speculation TO
lick up funds as fast as available comes
in for it's share of criticism.
The increase in the Pittsburg c. Z. Z.
& St Louis dividend was without erect
on any stocks.
The markets were harder in London,
Paris and Berlin today, but foreign
rates here reacted in response to our
own stronger money market.
There was considerable increase OF
selling pressure on stocks late in the
day and the closing tone was easy at
general declines.
Bonds were irregular.

Egyptian cotton crop is likely to be
much larger than last year, the esti-
mates being 100000 to 6,75O.000 cam
tars (cantar, 1247 pounds). The
growth last season was a little below

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Sales of 100000 Bushels of May
Wheat-Provision Market
Easy
Rv Assoclated Press.


CHICAGO. Dec. 12.-The wheat mar
ket was weak all day because of sales
of between one and two million bushels
of May wheat by a prominent operator
These liberal sales induced many of the
pit traders to join in the selling move
ment Most of the offerings were taken
by commission houses, large portion
of the purchases being for northwest
ern houses. There was little in the
news of the day to cause any decided
weakness Receipts of wheat at Min
neapolis and Duluth were considerably
less than for the corresponding day last
year. The total primary receipts were
over 20 per cent less than a year ago.
The market closed weak with prices at
the lowest point of the day. May
opened a shade lower at 79c and sold
off to 7S1a, where it closed II a Is C
lower than yesterday.
The corn market was weakened by
selling by cash houses brought out by
reports of an increased movement in
the corn belt. The market closed a
lower for May at 435sc. The break in
the price of wheat and corn caused
profit taking in oats. May closed &c
lower at 357sc.
The provisions market was easier be-
cause of a sc to 10c decline in the price
of live hogs. The weakness of the
grain market helped to depress provis-
ions. AT the close January pork was
off SC. lard unchanged and ribs were
2bc lower
