GRAIN AND PRoyIsIoNs.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The government crop report, increased receipts in the Northwest | in the wheat market here today Prices s6t the close were E c Ac to shc below the final figures of the previous day. Corn, oats and provisions also closed heavy.
 The wheat market was unsettled and prices sold between z and hc lower. The crop. which indicated an increase in the to- tai yield of 13.000, 900 bushels, compared with the previous estimate, caused consider able weakness in the final fifteen minutes At the start, the market was decidedly strong, because of an unexpected advance of A 01kd at Liverpool. this firmness. how ever, soon gave way to weakness brought out by selling. inspired by prospects of ma terial increase in receipts in the northwest, following a partial breaking up of the rail- road strike. Another rally occurred owing to advices from Argentina, claiming a reduc- ton in exportable surplus in that country. At the close. May sold at $1.10%@h and December at s1 .i2h
 The corn market was weak the greater part of the session owing to renewed realiz- ing by prominent holders. The government report. which showed an inrcease of 5,000,- 0e2 bushels in the total yield of this years crop compared with the November report was a bearish factor during the last few minutes of trading. The market closed weak with prices %c to # e %c below the previous close.
 Oats were inclined to be weak. although prices at the close were unchanged to Ac lower The government report was a bearish factor late in the day.
 Provisions were extremely weak at the start, owing to the unusually liberal receipts of live hogs here, today's arrivals of hogs being about 10000 head in excess of the estimated amount. Prices at the close were unchanged to l2hc lower.

THE STOCK MARKET

I | New York. Dec. 15.-The Reading dividend increase gave the stock mar
 ket the only semblance of animation 1t enjoyed today. coming after period of torpidtty. Operators in stocks were dimdent about committing themselves to market contracts. The traders had dimculty in following the shifting mar
 ket and the mixed movement of prices at all times. The decided shrinkage in the volume of the market was the most notable feature of the day. The Reading dividend situation had arous- ed good deal of uneasy surmise The weakness of the stock yesterday and at times today gave rise to an impress sion that the strongly claimed hopes of dividend increase were to be disap- legged that the Lehigh dividend was to be raised as a preliminary to the Reading increase. With the announce 1 ment in. the change of the form. but ley dividend, Reading rallied from its weakness and rose above TO for the |, first time during the day. The actual of the inc increase in the rate came in the last half hour of the | market. There was a spasmodic jump | in the stock to III 3-4, but 1t sold on l again and carried back the general l market with it to an irregular, closing. l This interrupted general recovery from the early weakness common to the whole list. Use was made as q depressing influence of the formal dec- position of the United States Steel Cor poration by the labor conference at Pittsburg. A loss of point at the opening measured the extent of this disinclinaton Of habitual stock oper- ators to sell stocks on a strike. Remfttances to London to provide for payment of obligations on Ameri- ro hal Q rnnftnua and held up the exchange rate to near the gold export level. A hardening Of London discount rates and resort of borrowers to the Bank of England kept up the attraction for outside funds, al- though the inauguration of trans Atlantic gold movement would be ex- pected to point towards Paris from New York, owing to the obligations of the London market to the Bank of France.
 The figures of this country's foreign trade for November show the expan- sion in value of imports still Is more than keeping pace with the new in- crease in the value of exports, in spite of the passage of the period available for anticipatory imports based on the changes in reciprocal trade relations,
 There was little change in the local money market. The call loan rate touched per cent. again. An incident st Standard ads G oil T dividend, end which called for the disbursement of $10,000,000. As a herald of the coming yearly disburse-, ment of large sums in interest and div idends. this attracted notice. Reports from the great retail establishments in New York reported an unprecedented holiday trade. The advance in prices in the last hour was the most compre- hensive of the day, but 1t was partly lost in the reaction following the Read ing dividend announcement.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales. par value, $4,026,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

NAVAL STORES REVIEW.

Savannah. Ga., Dec 15.-(Special )-Wtth a total absence of sales from sthe openings up to and including the first call of yes terday, the buying fraternity, to say the least apparently had had no pressing re- ouirements to fill. The openings yesterday morning were with nothing doing; last sales December 10 The closing for the day and also for the week was "steady 54c" with sales of 60 barrels but the majority of the trade insisted that nothing doing" was real ly the true state of the market.
 For the first part of the seven days. now ever there was a very good volume or buying orders which carried prices upward a shade There was some little speculative buying in evidence but for the most part the sales effected were for legitimate re- quirements both foreign and domestic. The market opened last Wdnesday (Dec- sl firm at 54Mc. The clostngs Monday were auil 55Ac and the trade was not surprised at the first call. The final call was steady 54c.
 While London followed Savannah on the slow rise in the first part of the week moving up from 3eK to 40h about midweek a softening developed there later and quota ttons yesterday were 3e-9. Europe is proving A poor follower of any rise these days m American turps and the demand is not at any time up to the normal from that center though there were something more than inc average shipments during the past week.
 Rosins were in fair demand.

 The market opened steady at a decline or s@I2 points under liquidation and in re- sponse to indifferent cables. But there was for January and Is 50 for May, or only 3s Q 35 points below the high records for the sea son. Big Memphis people were believed to be re-buying cotton sold towards the end or last week, there was good demand rom the West and Wall Street and some of the Southern bulls were buyers on the initial break.
 while the market met heavy offerings ot long cotton on a scale upward, the tone was very firm late in the day with January sell ing at 14.oo and May at lS.Se' and wnn ar the active months Bullish rumors regard ing the probable showing of the census re- port on the cotton ginned to December IF. reports of a net advance of Ac in some of the leading lines of cotton goods and claims of better spot dema.ld in the interior markets of the south helped the improve ment here in the late trading. Liverpool was a considerable seller early in the day ana local professionals seemed to be taking the short side of the market on the advance in the afternoon.
 Southern spot markets officially reported early were generally unchanged. It. is said that the spot markets are anywhere rom kc to %c higher than on November 3, when March contracts in New York sold at 10. 2b or within points of today's closing bid.

 Futures opened steady at decline of 70 2 points on poor cables. First prices were the lowest of the day as shorts commenced to cover and bulls to take on more cotton in the early hours on reports cabled from Lucknow. India, that the Indian cotton crop was only S5 per cent of the normal instead of being much larger than usual. Reports of a much better spot demand at interior points in the South and telegrams from east ern mills telling of material advances in the prices of finished goods also. helped the mar ket and but for disposition on the part of leading longs to realize on firm periods, stiff advance would probably have been seen.

ST in town has orders from Liverpool and the East"

A local merchant planter, in speak ing of the short crop. said wednes- day:
 900 bales as to the cotton crop of 190s-10 has brought consternation in- to the ranks of the spinner and bear speculator. whose aim it fs to keep the price of cotton down. This is exclu- sive of linters and the city crop, or re-packs. which may bring the total crop up to 10.650.000 bales, or a short age of over 100000 bales as compar- ed with last year. The spinning inter- est is we'll aware of the fact that there will not be enough cotton to supply his spindles. and irrespective of hear or bull. the remainder of the crop now in the hands of the farmers aud mer- chants will be able to take care of it. self. Higher prices are coming"
 Theodore H. Price Is quoted by The New York World of December II. as estimating the crop at i2.50o.0 900 bales. Of course he has no following at this absurd figure and as bear leader he has not long ago been discredited and those who have put credence In hls figures are likely to get left. A ,o- cal holder of cotton. who was offered IS cents for his staple said. I hold for 17 cents and when that price Is reached. I will sell.'"
 "The Advertisers cotton reports In it's commercial columns have been iu- teresting and have beesn eagerly read by merchant and farmer. 1t has en- deavored to bring in all shades of opinions In an unbiased and impartiai way.
