SOME ADVANCES ARE MADE

New York, December 31--The last day
of the year at the stock exchange was
a dull one Only a small volume of
business was done and there were few
important changes in prices. Business
was in the hands of small traders FOR
the most part and these operated IN
desultory way, with no very consistent
motive. The strong advance in New YORK
Central was attributed to the belief thae
Hartman was to become an active coun-
sellor in its affairs, rumors assigning
him to the craftsmanship of the poaro'
A dropping tendency in some other lar
rman properties was attributed, at the
same time, to persistent rumors that ms

contradiction seemed to escape notice.
The imminence of a holiday not I'M
usually has the effect of cutting DOWN
the volume of business and the close of
the year is of special effect In prompt
ing waiting for the events OF the ne"
year. Isolated advances were feature
of the market and these occurred ior
the most part amongst the less conspic-
mons stocks. Most of them were without
explanation. Some were supposed 10 Dc
due simply to the action by market pools
holding large proportion of the stock
in control.
The custom of carrying the market
quotations of securities for December 81

institutions which carry them as assets

quotations on that date. Preparations Tor

Steel and this was explained as being
due to apprehension of harm from the

amongst consumers of iron and steel
products about making purchases owing

SLIGHT SLUMP IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
Market Lacks Support In View
of Near Holidays
CLOSE Is NEAR THE BOTTOM
Corn Market Is Weak, Due to Decline
In Wheat, and Prices Fall Nearly
1c-oats and Provisions
Are Also Weak.
CLOSE is NEAR THE BOTTOM

Chicago, December 31.-General liquida-
tion of a pre-holiday character caused a
slump in the price of wheat here today,
closing quotations showing net losses of
&c to 11s@Ac. Corn, oats and provisions
also closed weak.
The great majority of traders in the
wheat pit who were long We're inclined
to "even up trades for the year in
anticipation of the holiday tomorrow In
consequence, the market, lacking any sub
stantial support, was weak throughout
the entire day. News of the day also
favored such selling, the bulk of the gos-
sip being of bearish nature. The Liver
pool market was weak, Notwithstanding
an advance here yesterday, stocks of
wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth in
creased $4,000 bushels for the week. and
the total exports of wheat and flour for
the week from the United States and Can
ada were equal to only S,116,OO0 bushels,
&C impaired with 5,119,OO0 bushels the cor
responding week a year ago. The distant
deliveries displayed the greatest weakness
as the desire of shorts in the December
option to cover sales caused that delivery
10 close almost where 1t left off the pre-
vious day. Naturalization of the predict
ed cold wave had little effect. With the
exception of the December delivery the
market closed at almost the bottom, with
May at 81 .07as@1 OH, and July at 9S7s@
99c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts
were 35S,000 bushels Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 17s
cars.
The slump in wheat was one of the chief
reasons for a weak market for corn, but
movement of the new crop in the next
weeks market also had considerable in
f1uence. There was liberal proft-talxing
in the December delivery, and that option
displayed the greatest weakness and
closed 1c below the final figures of yes
terday. A decline of Ac in the price of
the cash grain was an additional bearish
factor The market closed weak, with
prices sc to lie below the previous close,
with May at e1hc and July at 61A@e1asc.
Local receipts, 1856 cars, seven contract
grade
The break in wheat and corn had a de-
pressing effect on the oats market, but the
declines were not so marked as in the
other cereals. Cash interests were the
principal sellers and buying was scat
tered. The close was weak, with prices
Nc to sc lower compared with the pre-
vious close Final quotations on May
were 51ss@5S1sc, and on July 46Ac. Local
receipts were SO cars.
The weakness of grain offset an adj
vance of 5@10c in the price of live hogs
and caused moderate weakness in the pro-
vision market during the final hour of
the day. Changing of January holdings to
more distant deliveries was feature of
trade. At the close prices were I'M
changed to 10c lower.
Cash quotations ranged as follows:

Didn't Need a Selection.


A Kansas man tells of a music hall in
a town of that state which bore the I'M
enviable reputation of possessing abso-
lutely the worst band anywhere. On
one occasion a "headliner" from Chicago
had been promised by the management
for turn" and consequently the hall
was packed to the doors. When how
ever, the time had come for the head
liner to appear, instead of that eagerly
awaited attraction the audience was as
founded to see the agitated manager come
before the curtain holding a telegram in
his hand.
Ladies' and gentlemen" said he IT
very much regret to inform you that the
Great Stewart cannot (hisses and cat
calls) possibly arrive for at least another
half hour. Great applause.) In the mean
time the band will play you a selection"
At this dead silence followed, which
was finally broken by a man in the gal
1ery.
''Smitty, Smitty!' he shrieked Don't
let the band play. Well be quiet; hon
est, we wlii!'

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, December 3l.--(Special. J.
About 10000 bales of cotton were ten
dered for delivery on January today
this 10 the largest single delivery ever
made IN any market. This cotton will be
taken and paid for on Monday next by
the interest which has been long of
January for the past three months, which
appeared to surprise many traders who
thought the delivery of all this cotton
would widen the differences between the
months.
As it is believed that March, May and
July have been sold against this cot
ton 1t will either be sold to spinners or
re-delivered on those positions. We ex-
poet that cotton will continue to come
here for delivery as this is the highest
market. The trade and outside public
are looking for revival In the demand
from spinners after, the new year and
arc all long of cotton. The firm clos
ing marks this feeling
