ACREAGE is INCREASED

Chicago, December 2-Threatened
spread of the switchmens strike caused
a stampede among shorts in the wheat
market today and transformed previ-
ously weak market into one of decided
strength. At the close prices showed net
gains for the day of h0Bc. Corn closed
steady but oats and provisions were
strong.
Possibility that the labor disturbances
which have almost completely tied up
freight traffic in the northwest might be
extended to other railroads was the
predominating influence in the wheat pit
during the final hour, and entirely offset
the effect of a number of bearish factors
which have created weakness Shorts in
December were especially eager to even
up trades, and in the anxiety to cover
bid the price of that option up to 11kc
above the low point of the day. This
in turn affected the more distant deliv-
cries, although the July option showed
only a moderate upturn.
The range on December for the day was
between s1.051z and s1.06%, while May
sold between $105b and s1.o57s. Final
quotations were almost at the top, De-
cember being at 81 .0e1s and May at s1.o6%
Q1.O5zs. Argentine advices claiming a
continuance of ideal weather for harvest
ing, additional rain in the winter wheat
belt of this country and an estimate from
each of three crop experts which showed
an increased acreage seeded to fall wheat
were the chief factors contributing to a
heavy tone early in the day.
Wet weather and the bulge in wheat
held the corn market firm the greater
part of the day. There was considerable
selling at times, however, owing to the
continued liberal arrivals. Despite the un-
settled weather conditions throughout the
corn belt, arrivals today exceeded the es-
timated amount and cash interests re-
ported free offerings In the country. The
market closed firm, with prices I'M
changed to 10 higher.
Oats were strong all day because of re-
newed buying OF the December delivery
by cash interests. Light receipts were
chiefly responsible for the brisk demand
At the close prices were AQ%c above yes
terday's final figures.
Provisions were rather weak at the
start, but rallied early In the session and
continued strong the remainder of the
day. Stocks of provisions in store here,
as indicated by yesterdays report. were
larger than had been generally expected,
and this caused some selling at the OPEN
ing. Shorts however were urgent bid
ders owing to the continued light receipts
of live hogs throughout the west. and as
a result prices throughout the entire list
made substantial gains. The close showed
net gains of 71a6D121ac.
Future quotations ranged as follows.

UNCERTAINTY IN THE TONE

= New York, December 2.-Speculative at
tention was diverted from the main cur
rent of affairs In the stock market to-
day into some by-channels having to do
with special developments concerning
railroad properties and their relations
The separation of the Rock Island and
the st. Louis and San francisco sys-
TENS has given ground from the first for
suggestions of readJustments to follow,
which might involve momentous conse-
uuenoes to the existing balance of rela-
lions ana control among railroad prop
critics. Todays announcement from the
Lehigh Valley of the coming entry into
its directorate of the dominant powers
in the Rock Island company afforded
IigN- on the direction which the read
just Mt was taking. The inference to be
drawn from this proved SO confusing,
however, that g. state OF bewfderment
was the most salient feature of the senti-
ment so far as 1t was disclosed by spec
ulative operations in the market.
This confusion was increased because
the new forces in Lehigh Valley were at
DOmo pains 10 01SCldlH ally lloAcSs -
Wabash railroad, which has been In
fiuenced for several days by an assump-
ton that it was to come into the plans
for the direction of the Lehigh valley.
This idea was not entirely relinquished in
spite of the disclaimers, which lacked
full official authority. The superstition
regarding the deal pointed as an AL
tentative to the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western as an eastern outlet for the
Rock Island to be linked by the Wab-
ash. This alternative did not weaken
the effect of the Lehigh Valley TRANSACT
lions, owing to the close banking rela-
lions between the new forces in Lehigh
Valley and the Lackawanna element In
the old Lehigh Valley control.
While the sale of holdings in Lehign
Valley by the Lake Shore, the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, the Reading
and Erie have been reported from time
to time no such rumors have been heard
regarding the Lackawanna holding of
that stock which are assumed, therefore,
to be in friendly relations with the new
holdings now to be represented on the
board
The reports of plans for extension OF
the Western Maryland reorganized prop
erty reviewed the conjectures of a pos
sible completion of its linking with the
Wabash-Pittsburg for the carrying out
of the project for an ocean outlet for the
Gould system, supposed at one time to
have been abandoned At the same time
wide field for surmse was onered by
the possible recasting of relations

SOUTHERN NEWS BULLISH

New York, December 1.-The cotton
market was not active today. but prices
ruled generally steady and the close
was steady at q net advance of 7@12
points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of SOLO points, with most OF
the active months selling about 9
points higher in response to better ca
bles than expected. Notwithstanding
the strong showing of the Liverpool
market houses with Liverpool cotton
were considerable sellers here on the
opening advance, and prices, in conse-
quence. reacted 4 or points from the
best during the early session. Local
professionals, however, considered that
this selling was on straddle account,
and argued that offerings would be-
come lighter after the close of Ge
Liverpool market.
This theory created some buying, and
with the southern news generally bull
fsh offerings were absorbed, while
prices during the afternoon worked up
to about or a little over the best point

steady, unchanged; middling, 144c. Sales
on the spot, 1880 bales; to arrive, 700.
Futures opened steady at an advance of
s points on better cables than expected.
The market was steady from the open
ing on a variety of bullish features chief
among which was the increasing belief in
a very small crop and a very light move
ment. The rurnor was also spread about
that December had very quietly been cor
nered by house which has the reputa-
ton of being one of the most bearish
concerns in the trade. Shorts trying to
get out of December found nothing for
sale and gossip said that the bear house
in question held all the long contracts
The price of December rose to 1860, or
30 points over the quotation for spots.
At the highest tho more active deliveries
stood at an advance of II to IL points.
The closing was steady at q net adj
vance of 8 to Z points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, December Especial. THE
better inquiry yesterday in Liverpool
brought about the Improvement there to-
day of some points and a further ad-
vance here of 10 points, part Of which was
lost on the Close Rumors of a bullish
ginners' report tomorrow led to the adj
vance In the last hour. Continued liqui-
dalton by one of the leading bull houses
for the past week continues to be the
main source of supply, and as this has
brought the near positions at wider diff
ference as compared with Liverpool than
for long time, while the arbitrage in
terest Is being reduced by buying here.
There is a general disposition to look for
a rather better spot demand before the
bureau report.
