SHARP DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET Present Liquidation Is PuzzIing
 10 Financiers CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE Brokers Do Not Fear a Setback at Present, But Money Is Still Very
 Firm and Stocks Show
 Some Weakness.

New York, December 21.-Today's stock market bore on the face of 1t evidence of important speculative liquidation. Con- lecture was a good deal divided as to the course of this liquidation but there was no difference of opinion as to the fact. The apparent disregard of the e1ect on prices of the selling lent plausibility to a favorite supposition that the holo- ings that were being sold out had been acquired at an early period of the ad- vance in prices. The formation of a pow erful stock market pool was rumored at an early period in the summer, hay ing among its several purposes to demon srrate a return of confidence in the imam cial and industrial outlook and give start to the restoration of conditions which had been impaired by the hnancial upheaval of last year.
 The stock market has given almost constant indication of encouragement ana indictment for buying and advancing prices. The exact meaning of the pres ant liouidation is difficult to determine That it is prompted by fears of an ef- fective setback in general business IS not generally believed. It is attributed rather to a recognition that the advance in prices has been carried beyond a point warrant ed by progress Furthermore there nave been elements of exaggeration Tn the opinions formed of events to come, in the political field particularly Beyond that the very substantial appetite Of cap ital for investment which is a political feature of the situation. testifies to the completion of the work of restoring con- fidence.
 It is argued that the length of time over which the operations of the supposed stock market pool have continued and the extensive advance in prices affected op- nortunity for profitable liquidation. The stress laid upon more immediate develop ments to account for the decline did not datract from the force of these more gen. eral considerations. Rumors of the lll- ness of D. H. Hartman, although author itatively denied, had some sinister enect

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, December H.-(Special 1.-The feature of our market today was the gin- ner's report on the amount of cotton ginned to December 13 In Georgia and South Carolina the figures were larger than the government estimate of the en- tire yield, and they were practically the same In other states, outside of Arkan- sas. Texas, and Oklahoma. The report was considered bearish in view of this fact, and also because the figures were somewhat larger than the trade had eX- pected. Further buying by local operators at first advanced the market in the face of the figures, but the improvement was subsequently, lost on realizing, and some southern selling. The market was quiet but steady during the afternoon, with some of last weeks buyers evidently SUD- porting prices, although the undertone could not be called weak. It would seem that the question of demand would be the ruling factor in the market The northern and western longs are still firm In their belief that with the turn of the year, there will come a better spot de- mand, which will relieve them of the necessity of absorbing the southern selling against the movement.

WHEAT MARKET
 CLOSES STRONG
Advance of Nearly Half a Cent
 Is Made
OFFERINGS ARE LIBERAL
Corn Opens Weak Owing to Liberal Receipts, But Becomes Firm Early In the Day--Oats and Pro-
 visions Close Firm.

Chicago, December 21.-Buylng by several of the leading holders caused the wheat market to close strong to- Corn, oats and provisions also closed firm.
 Trade in the wheat pit was dull the greater part of the day, but became moderately active barring the final half hour when prices advanced to the highest point of the day. The close was at almost the best prices, with May at $1.O5% @1.o6% and July at s7ssc. Throughout the greater part of the session a pre-h oliday dullness pre- vailed and sentiment was bearish. News of the day was almost entirely favorable to the bears. Cables were weak; Argentine offerings of wheat in European markets were liberal the visible supply of wheat in the United States showed an increase of 6O3, 1000 bushels, and weather conditions in this country were favorable for the fall sown crop. The amount of breadstuff in ocean passage decreased 1,12S,000 bushels. Clearances of wheat and flour were ,o00 bushels. Primary receipts were 901. .o00. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 527 cars, against 625 last week.
 The corn market opened weak owing to liberal receipts and excellent wealth CT for the movement. but became firm before the end of the first hour and so continued. Leading shorts were the principal buyers, one of these being credited with purchases of more than 100000 bushels. Reports from the seaboard claimed a very poor export call with bids greatly below the price of the May delivery here in Chicago.
 The market closed strong with prices Ac to E O 1kc above the previous close. May closed at 60h 60%c and July at 6oAc. Local receipts, 472 cares, three contract grade.
 An improved shipping demand for the cash grain had a bullish effect on the oats market, the closing being strong with prices up MQ%c. The firmness of corn also had a strength en- ing influence. The market opened easy but soon became firm. Final quota tions on May were ats51 ;@51Ac and on July, 46hc. Local receipts, PA cars.
 Provisions were firm the entire day, chiefly because of a falling off in re- ceipts of hogs at western packing cen ters. Demand was fairly active and of ferings relatively light. Prices at the close showed net gains of 15Q17hc.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 35 cars; corn, 635 cars; oats, 337 cars; hogs, 34,0O0 head.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:
