Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO. Dec. 3O.-Further reduction in the
estimate of the amount of wheat in Argentina
which will be available for export from the new
crop caused considerable bullish sentiment In the
market here today. AT the close prices Showed
net gains of 16c to &c. Corn and oats We're af-
fected by the strength Of wheat and closed firm.
Provisions were steady.
Although wheat manifested uneasiness at times,
owing TO selling based on prospects of greatly
increased receipts, sentiment was bullish because
Of the. alarming reports from Argentina. One
dispatch said the exportable surplus would not
exceed 72,00O,0o0 bushels. which is much
smaller amount than any previous estimate.
Trading in the December delivery was light and
the price of that option ranged between $1.17K
and $119. May sold between $l.11% and
SLIPS. The market closed strong at about the
high point, final quotations on May being 81 12A.
December closed at $1.1S15
Moderate weakness prevailed in corn early.
The market apparently became oversold and
toward midday when shorts started to cover,
prices made substantial gains. An improved
shipping demand from the east contributed to
the late firmness. The close was firm, with
prices II a &c higher
Trading in oats was dull and the market was
inclined to follow the course of wheat and corn.
The close was firm at almost the top, with prices
snLc higher.
Provisions closed fairly steady. with prices
shade lower to 71hc higher
The leading futures ranged as follows:

STOCK MARKET Is
VERY IRREGULAR

NEW YORK, Dec. 3o.-The close of the
year was marked by characteristic devel-
opments in financial markets today. Prepa-
rations for the unprecedented disburse-
ments Of interest and dividend payments
in January went forward more actively
today and the restriction of money supplies
which resulted in the stock market kept
operations there under restraint.
The per cent rate touched for call
loans marked a new high rate for the pres
eut year, comparing with the per cent
maximum on several former occasions Last
December when but 41s per cent was reached
for call loans the country was just emerging
from its period of industrial and financial
depression and demand for commercial credi
its was at a minimum. Not only is the
present condition one of comparative ease,
but a supposition is fostered that marked
relaxation is to occur after the turn of the
year. The course of discount rates in for
eign money markets and the weakness of
the foreign exchange market, as well
the easy tone of the money market, give
color to this supposition. Its certainty is
not altogether conceded by bankers, who
point to the heavy requirements for corpo-
ration financing which have to be met with
the new year
In the cheerful stock market spirit there
was a disposition to make a favorable in
depreciation even Of the active money mar
ket.
Further returns of railroad earnings for
November continued the favorable showing
of the net returns for that period.
The tightness of the money market con-
duced to the special favor shown toward
low priced stocks, owing to the smaller
amount required to carry blocks of those
securities with commission houses. This
class of securities was stimulated also by
the special demand in evidence for the Wa
bash group, which carried an impression of
determined accumulation and kept alive
conjectures of special developments in
progress regarding those properties.
There was a certain amount of realiz-
ing going on in stocks in which the past
speculation has been active, and this kept
the price movement irregular.
