GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. November 27.-Renewed liqui-
dation of the December delivery forced
wheat prices to a still lower level here
today, prices at the close showing losses
Of 14ass to 1c compared with the final
quotations of the previous day. Corn
closed easy, while oats and provisions
were steady.
The deliveries for December were again
subjected to selling in the wheat pit and
as a result the premium of that option
compared with the May delivery was en-
tirely diss.pated. at one time both months
selling at LOG. News Of the day was more
favorable to the bears and tbs helped to
weaken the market. Several mild rallies
occurred owing to covering by shorts. but
the market at no time displayed any
great buoyancy.
During the day the December delivery
sold between LOG and LOGS, while May
ranged between 1.O5s4a1.Oo7s and 1.Oiss. AT
the close December was at LOGS and May
at LOG. Increased receipts in the north
west and reports from Argentine claiming
weather conditions in that country were
favorable for harvesting were the princl-
pal items contributing to the weakness.
Liquidation of December holdings was
also feature of trading in the corn pit
and as a result of this selling the market
was rather weak all day. The slump in
wheat tended to aggravate selling pres
sure. Prices at the close were 1saA 10
3sa1ac lower than the previous close.
Oats withstood the weakening tendency
of the decline in other grain and ruieo
steady all day. Buying Of the December
- very by cash interests was the sustain
ing factor. The market closed steady
with prices 1sc lower to 1sc higher.
Provisions were strong early in the SEES
sion owing to buying by shorts. based on
the continued light movement of live hogs
in the west. in the final half of the day
sentiment became easier because of real
izing sales. The market closed steady
with prices 21zc lower to DC higher

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, November 27.-The budget
deadlock and the uncertainties regard
ing the governments action thereon con-
tinued to be the chief adverse influence
in the markets during the week, and
these induced an all-round liquidation and
an unsettled tone. British securities felt
the effect most, and, in spite Of the good
bank statement and with cheaper money,
neither professionals nor the outsiders
had sufficient confidence to pick up home
rails or consuls at the low rate pending
a clearer political atmosphere. But the
tone was slightly better at the end Of
the week under covering operations.
Foreign bonds and foreign rails proved
much more attractive, and ii is consid-
ereA that a good deal Of the proceeds of
British liquidation has been reinvested
therein, Argentine, Russian and Japanese
bonds all showing comparatively substan-
tial advances on the week.
Kaffirs also saw the bottom for time
after the recent liquidation, and with the
settlement concluded better than antici-
pated fresh buying brought a sharp re-
covery all round.
Copper shares had a setback on the
check to the merger negotiations follow
ing the decision against the Standard Oil
Corporation, but with renewed support at
the end Of the week finished well above
the lowest, though still down on the
week.
Much smaller business was transacted
in American securities and leading bull
interests found 1T difficult to maintain
prices in the face of vigorous bear pres
sure and dear money. New York Central
declined sharply in the middle of the
week, Canadian Pacific moved somewhat
independently and closed two points high
er, while today's steady market wiped
out various declines in other directions,
making the final prices one point higher
to three points lower than last Saturday
Money eased early in the week. but
became scarce later and caused further
borrowing from the bank. The rapidly
improving banks reserve caused dis
counts to decline sharply, but they stead
led Thursday when the directors decided
to maintain the S per cent rate in view
OF the political uncertainties and the
Forthcoming South American and Indian
gold requirements.

curities were active.

MANY SALES MADE
BY PHOENIX TRUST CO.
DR.. Dysart Buys a Quarter Section.
Glendale Property in Demand.

The largest sale of ranch land
closed up during the week was made
by the Phoenix Trust company. DIR.
Louis Dysart purchased of the Ari-
iona Water company 100 acres in
section IS, north. 2 east for $4,000.
This land is about two miles east of
Peoria and four miles from Glendale
and was an exceptionally good buy.
1t is desert land only about mile
from the Arizona canal, and as soon
as put-under cultivation should be
worth twice what DR.. Dysart paid
for il.
A number of the sales of the Phoe-
nix Trust company were in the
neighborhood of Glendale and includ-
ed both farm land and city lots. The
development in that section since the
sugar factory started operations has
been tremendous and one who has
not recently visited Glendale will be
surprised at the number of buildings
and general Improvements that are
now under way there.

or $40 a front foot.
II was purchased from w. II. Pat
rick who owns the lot opposite on
Monroe street and is now building
$500 house on it.
DIR. Angeny and Mr.. Moore sold the
property the following Monday at a
big advance to the Tonic Investment
company. Even at the price which the
investment company paid for it the
lots are still considered to be a shade
under the normal valuations as deter
mined by the prices of adjoining prop
critics.
The rise in property within two
blocks of the Federal site has been
phenomenal in the past two years. 1t
was about two years ago that w. H
Patrick bought half OF the block in
which the present sale was made for
$500 and he is now realizing a large
return from the sale of the property
in parcels.
]. A. Moore also sold during the
week a 50-foot lot on North Third
avenue above Bennitt Lane to Ray
DeMund for s175. Mr.. Moore bought
this lot ten months ago for $3.50 and
cleared 40 per cent on his investment
in that time. Mr.. DeMund will build
a home on ii and has had plans drawn
for that purpose.
Another lot belonging to Mr.. Moore
on Fifth avenue, south of Bennitt Lane
was sold at bargain price. The pur-
chaser will build on it. The Page
Hanlon company have made a number
of deals in ranch land during the week
but on account of the usual delay at
tending the drawing up of the deeds
the details are not given out.
