ing November The Journal of Com
merce estimates make these but $17,v
10000 compared with $206.172,o0G in
November of last year. In December
and January, however, large payments
are called for on account of issues al
ready made and more are looked for.
There was a rise in the Berlin dis
count rate today and the London rate
held steady. The call loan rate here
was rather firmer, the ruling rate be-
ing nearer per cent. Denials OF the
reports that a general strike of rail-
road employees was in contemplation
gave some help to railroad stocks but
the question of wage readjustments is
still discussed with gravity.
The increase in the dividend rate of
st. Louis uthwestern preferred gave
a cheerful feeling to holders of other
stocks mentioned as likely to receive
like favors. Reading and Rock Island
preferred were in this list. An up
sentimental effect on the whole list.
The government estimates of tho
very large area planted in winter
wheat and the high percentage of con-
dition at which that crop is entering
winter proved a stimulating effect on
the late market. The last hour of the
session was the busiest and the days
gains were mostly made in that time
Bonds were irregular; total sales, par
value, $4,064,000. United States As
registered declined u per cent on call.

SEVERE SLUMP IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
Big Prospect for Another Crop
Is Cause of Decline
BUYERS SELLING FREELY
Corn Market Is Strong In Spite of
Weakness In Wheat and Prices
Advance-oats Close Firm and
Provisions Steady.
BUYERS SELLING FREELY

Chicago, December THE government
report which indicated the second largest
crop of winter wheat on record In the
United States in point of acreage caused
a severe slump In what prices here today
following a sharp bulge due to confirma-
ton of injury by frost to the Argen-
tine crop. At the close prices showed a
net loss of 1s@14c Corn and oats closed
firm and provisions steady.
Decided strength marked the trading
in wheat during the first half of the
session. Demand was chiefly for the dis
tant futures which were bnllishly affected
by fresh reports from Argentina confirm
Ing yesterdays reports of frost in sec
lions of the wheat belt there On the
bulge prices advanced about lie above
the previous close, December selling up
to I.oSh and May to s1oSss.
The crop report issued in the final half
OF the session caused a complete reversal
of sentiment, many of the early buyers
selling freely. According to the official
statistics the acreage seeded to winter
wheat is 80, $4,000 acres, an increase of
10 per cent compared with the final es-
Innate of last years crop and the sec
ond largest on record.
The condition of the crop Is placed at
1913 as against 1873 year ago. Much long
wheat came out in the final hour and
prices declined more than 1c. Both May
and December sold off to s1.07. The close
was weak at almost the bottom, final
figures on May being at SLOTS and on De-
cember s1.07A.
There was big trade in corn and
the market was strong the greater part
of the day although 1t lost some OF its
bullishness late In the session owing to
the break In wheat The principal rea-
son for the strength was the severe storm
which extended over the entire corn belt.
An advance of 10D11ac in the price of
the cash grain also helped the options
The market closed firm with prices 40
Ac to Ac above yesterdays final fig
ures.
Continued light receipts prompted fresh
buying of the oats today, resulting In
strong market all day. At the close
prices were a shade to 3sc higher.
Provisions displayed considerable weak
ness at the start owing to selling in
spired by the cold weather, which 1t is
expected will greatly increase the move
ment of live hogs to market. Buying by
shorts, however, caused a steadier feel
ing In the first half of the day Prices
showed little change in the final half and
at the close were SC lower to 21sd5c
higher.

STOCK MARKET
IS STILL UNCERTAIN
President Taft's Message Has
No Apparent Effect
SOME STOCKS ADVANCE
Trading Is Very Dull With Nothing In
Presidents Message to Cause
Stocks to Go Up or Down
to Any Extent.

New York, December THE bust
ness done at the stock exchange today
dwindled to small proportions and the
constant fluctuations in prices argued
an uncertain frame of mind on the part
of operators in stocks. The action of
the market mirrored vagaries of specu-
lative temper rather than any develop
lnents in affairs. So far as could be
perceived there was no new business
of important origin. The room traders
took first one view and then another
of the same event.
Tho Presidents message was called
conservative from the point of view of
financial interests, but as its contents
had been accurately known and acted
upon in the markets, its actual publ
cation left little for the speculative
element to do. The postponement for
future treatment in special messages OF
sub ects of most interest to the stock
market, those changes In the antitrust
and the interstate commerce laws left
little for immediate appraisement in the
securities market. The rise in Ameri-
can Sugar was ascribed to the stand
against a congressional investigation,
lest immunity should thus be given to
rose on the ship subsidy paragraph. The
fact that prices fell sharply early last
week In professed apprehension of un-
friendly treatment OF corporations in
the message and rebounded violently
on Saturday after the real tenor of the
message became known, measures the
final opinion of the case more relia-
BILE than did todays market. The be-
lief that the intense dul1ness of the
early market was due to the desire to
see the message received slight con-
firmation from the growth in activity
after the publication.
The growing attention given to the
exports of gold had some restraining
influence on the speculation. More gold
was engaged here for Argentina and a
further rise in sterling exchange
brought rates nearer to the point at
which shipments direct to London
would become profitable. Figures of
British foreign trade for November in
dicated some gain in the months trade
balances by this country, the increase
of $68,503, 500 in value OF British i'm
ports coming in part from the rise of
S15,000,000 in the value of our cotton
taken for the month. :,
On the other hand heavy maturities
seem to be falling due of New York
indebtedness to foreign lenders and the
paying off of those obligations is be-
lieved to keep up the foreign exchange
rate The torpid state of the bond
market Is attributable partly to these
scanty issues of new securities dur

LITTLE CHANGE IN
COTTON PRICES
Market Is Quiet and FIuctua-
lions Are Narrow
OFFERINGS WELL TAKEN
Professional Traders Are Inclined to
Believe That Prices Are High
Enough Until Government
Report Is Issued.

New York. December THE cotton
market was quiet today and fluctuations
were comparatively narrow, with the ten
deney among smaller operators to even
up for over-the-government reports, while
a demand from some of the large interests
on slight recessions impaired a generally
steady tone to the situation. The close
was steady, net / points higher to 5
points lower with the near months rela-
lively firm. The market opened steady
at unchanged prices to a decline of 3
points and while cables made fairly
steady showing, sold off to a net loss
of to Z points under local bear pressure
and liquidation.
Local professionals seemed to figure thai
the advance of about 80 points from the
low level of last Tuesday had discounted
considerable reduction in views as to
the probable showing of the government
report on Friday and that the market
was likely TO ease off under liquidation
in the meantime. But at the decline
to 10. 18c for May a good demand devel-
oped with western and southern bulls
buying while there also seemed to be
people.
With offerings so we'll absorbed early
sellers became uneasy and prices rallied
to about or a shade over the closing
figures of last night on covering, active
months closing a point or two under
yesterdays final figures. An arrival of
1o3 bales was reported here from Liver
pool presumably for delivery on Decem-
Der contracts but local spot houses claim
there can be little or no profit in bring
ing cotton back here from abroad
Southern spot markets officially report
ed were generally unchanged. The re-
port of the census bureau giving the
amount of cotton ginned to December 1
will be issued at the opening tomorrow
local views as to its probable showing
ranging from S,soo,0O0 to 9,ooo,o00 bales
Today's port receipts ALA bales,
against 1892 last week and s5,4e2 last
year. For the week 10000 bales, against
2l4,s2o last week and 412.ss7 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans S24s bales,
against 1886 last year, and at Houston
